Fair, in my case the camera drives my upgrades and the larger size isn't so annoying it's worth sacrificing photo quality.

Those look fun. Figure a 2x heavier car and US freeway speeds (70 mph / 112 km/h) and I think you would end up wanting a lot more power. Even if the number seems high you only rely on about half given altitude effects and protecti

Not ridiculous, I had a 130HP / 100KW car that could do it only with protest, and modern cars are heavier. To do the same drive mostly on battery you'd need something like 50KWh which is much more than any of the current plug in h

Two things about the iPhone situation make the result not generalize. First, the Mini got a worse camera than the larger models. Second, Apple waited years before reintroducing a small phone so apps including theirs had mostly moved on. The

In major metros it's even worse than that, the people with the longest commutes are those who can't afford housing in the city.

The gas engine should be able to handle a mountain pass in hot or cold weather, closer to 150KW. That avoids needing to carry enough battery for that use case.

I used to think this but on reflection my driving pattern would be served fine if I plugged in once a week while grocery shopping.

The 5900X is a fine reference as a common chip. The peak performance should be at 12 threads, it has 12 cores, and that's what the table appears to show.

To save the click a 12900K machine from Dell is about $3k. If you need CUDA or say SolidWorks get the PC, for video and multithreaded workloads the Mac would probably be faster, but really only benchmarks of your use case can tell you.

A key problem to solve is how to create a reliable source of truth for the currency. If not a traditional bank or ledger built on distributed consensus, then you're into the territory of inventing something new. It's a hard proble

IIRC a major rationale behind the 787 design is to allow sections to be manufactured complete with wiring harness etc in different locations and then shipped for final assembly. You can build really big parts (check out Janicki) but for thi

Most people just buy whatever they had last, whatever most of their friends and family have, or whatever is cheap. I doubt more than 10% of people think about it very hard.

That IPC figure is a bit misleading because different designs clock differently, for example the Apple designs likely have shorter pipelines which uses cycles and power more efficiently but won't support higher clock speeds. I doubt an

Have you watched what people do with their phones? We went from scrolling through 140 character tweets to scrolling through autoplaying video. Video calls while walking around.

The first place I saw this stuff was a presentation by one of the people behind Chibitronics. Along with copper tape really useful for building up circuits on paper. Not sure if they still use it in any of the products but still pretty cool

The performance of ZK systems is improving rapidly, for example the startup I'm at has one which is likely already much faster than what the authors used (development is ongoing): https://github.com/risc0/risc0 Th

While China's approach is heavy-handed it also has saved a lot of lives, even assuming some fudging of the data their death rate is the lowest of any large country. Countries like Japan and Thailand have managed to avert nearly as much

I'm not familiar with the tile-specific stuff Apple is doing but I think the grain of truth in that thread is some graphics apps on Apple silicon will perform better if they use them. The rest of the thread is doesn't make sense t

Some of the main assertions about how common GPUs work are totally backwards: "when a GPU is waiting for data, it can't just switch to work on something else" - GPU designs specifically use the idea of rotating between thread

Here are the two recent studies I've seen that suggest reinfections are not rare and have similar severity to the first. Qatar's reports have been good so I wouldn't discount their results, and it's possible that the 81

Do you have a citation for that? The data I'be seen suggests no reduction in severity due to previous infection.

It seems to be more about skill and budget of the development teams, and those are both getting bigger. I think a major underlying factor is the massive increase of transistor budgets relative to clock speed and latency to memory. That pull

You know, that reminds me of the other fun part. Because it was gas the mower was stored in a shed in the back yard. A shed full of thousands of really large spiders.

I have childhood memories of how much of a pain it was to get our gas mower started. And stinky.

Crazy, they were handing these things out as conference freebies a while back and now they're $400 on eBay. Pretty sure I still have one in a box somewhere.

As far as I know it's purely local search. I'm guessing this is part of the development arc towards AR applications but in the near term solves the problem of being able to search Photos for "birthday party" and hopefull
