Strangely the first-generation Graviton chips have actually shown up in MikroTik hardware that you can just buy. Amazon must be selling off their stock to third parties once it's phased out of use at AWS, but I doubt they'll ever

The chart is actually words "thought or written" so I guess they are running up the numbers even more by counting Claudes entire inner monologue, on top of what it ultimately outputs.

Cost per word is a bizarre metric to bring up. Since when is volume of words a measure of value or achievement?

SRAM scaling also hit a wall a while ago, so you can't really count on new processes allowing for significantly higher density in the future. That's more of a longer-term issue with the SRAM gambit that'll come into play afte

If you want a cheap rooted eReader I think you're better off getting a Kobo instead, they don't officially support rooting but AFAICT they make basically no effort to prevent it.

I think the only way to get the no-Copilot version now is to already have the Copilot version and try to cancel your subscription, and only then they'll offer the "Classic" version sans Copilot as a last ditch retention effor

Alas, I don't think UEFI exposes vblank/hblank interrupts so you'd just have to YOLO the timing.
378.
by jsheard 11mo ago
Doesn't the UEFI firmware map a GPU framebuffer into the main address space "for free" so you can easily poke raw pixels over the bus? Then again the UEFI FB is only single-buffered, so if you rely on that in lieu of full-fat

That doesn't sound worth it, storage is cheap, encoding videos is expensive, caching videos in a more compact form but having to rapidly re-encode them into a different codec every single time they're requested would be ungodly

Maybe such a thing could exist in the future, but I don't think the idea that YouTube is already serving a secret neural video codec to clients is very plausible. There would be much clearer signs - dramatically higher CPU usage, and

What type of compression would change the relative scale of elements within an image? None that I'm aware of, and these platforms can't really make up new video codecs on the spot since hardware accelerated decoding is so essentia

For real though, Meta flushing all that money down the drain is keeping VR as a whole hanging on by a thread. I'm not sure whether it survives if they pull back to focus on Google Glass 2 or whatever.

They've raised about $45M in venture capital to date. I don't think they are profitable yet, but they at least have other people's money to throw around for now.

The website you're using right now is hosted from a single location without any kind of CDN in front, so unless by coincidence you happen to live next door then you seem to be managing. CDNs do help, but just not bundling 40MB of Javas
