This article is the first CPU review I've seen that lacks both benchmark numbers and information about the manufacturer/process node. Is there a more technical document describing the Altra?

I imagine the 10c doesn't encourage as many people as a +1 public recycling score on one of your social media profiles would.

Most water in the region isn't used for drinking -- there's plenty for that. Example use case: almond farmer buys 0.5% of the current capacity of the reservoir at the now liquid market price, with delivery 6 months from now. Inste

California has a country-wide monopoly on weather conditions that many people consider ideal. This attracts people, which raises prices, which results in a proportionally better talent network, as higher income professions are better repres

Masers have been around longer than Lasers [0]. I don't know how building walls would affect coherent radiation at various frequencies, but if 80% of the energy made it to the destination, the other 20% could explain the variety of sym

All 4 of your points could be easily explained if the device was designed similar to a "gamma knife" [0]. With a gamma knife, a number of lower power beams converge on the target from different locations to create a higher intensi

Change Carbon tax to "Pollution tax" -- even on the topic of global warming, methane and nitrous oxide are potentially more harmful, and a pollution tax is far more future proof for capturing externalities.

My understanding is that if you aren't gaming (i.e. most of the content on your screen is static) your GPU is smart enough not to redraw the entire frame so you can probably get very low latency refreshes.

I'll be waiting for the M3X in 2022, at which point they should be using TSMC's 3nm node (another 15% more performance and density) and have had 2 years for the software ecosystem to get settled on ARM.

Even today I had a few minutes of intermittent networking outages around 9:30am EST (which started on the day of the incident), and compared to other regions, I frequently get timeouts when calling S3 from us-east-1 (although that has been

At the hardware level, does this mean they have a much faster TLB than competing CPU's, perhaps optimized to patterns in which NSObjects are allocated? Speaking of which, does Apple use a custom malloc or one of the popular implementat

How long does it take for Vitamin D levels to fall to "deficient" levels from healthy levels? If you don't supplement and stay quarantined inside for a week in the winter, what effect does that have on your levels?

Intel's NAND flash was overshadowed by their Optane (not included in the sale) and lagging behind Hynix and Samsung, so I guess this isn't such a bad move. The cynical take is that the CFO running Intel is attempting a bunch of st

From my stint working in the bay area, it seems like tons of older low level executives at tech companies (probably bringing in comparable income to staff engineers at FAANG) treat angel investing like golf. Most of the wealthy folks will d

The thing about complex systems is that you typically can't just say A causes B, which is what most people want. There is certainly a causal relationship, but it's a chain of events uncountably long, so it's best understood i

Prices determine the allocation of resources in society. Higher prices of food in New York allow a dense city of 9 million to channel enough food from the economy to feed the populace. The more accurate the prices, the less waste (in terms

So many seemingly intelligent people are incredibly naive about the number of real world conspiracies that have come to light. You probably would have made a similar comment about MK-Ultra or Operation Sea Spray before the documents were pu

The HN crowd is not one to support conspiracy theories, but if the CCP were to strategically release a virus into the world, what better way to give them a competitive advantage than to give a non-negligible percentage of their global compe

My interpretation is that for every dollar each side spends on legal fees related to a case, they provide some amount (let's say $0.50) to an escrow account that will be given to the opposition (separate from any awards in the ruling)

While inventing the printing press certainly put many scribes out of business, few would call it zero-sum or robber-barony. The amount of new wealth generated was exponential. That is still happening. 4% growth per year is over 10x in an av

Not too interesting for those interested in high performance desktop and server offerings. The fact that Intel's only new releases on 10nm are <=6 core low power products suggests their yields are still poor. AMD did a really smart

I don't have a source on hand, but my understanding is that Samsung significantly undercut TSMC on pricing, likely to stay alive in the high end fab business. Samsung is probably making extremely low margins on these, hence the lower t
