They also say > will cause the CPU to pause the guest hypervisor, and let the host hypervisor running at EL2 decide whether and how to proceed. That is a big part in enabling nested virtualisation. There are other details, for example r

In this talk he seems to have already anticipated the necessarily extensible nature of a simple language, so the language core must be sound such that when new needs arise one extends, which is what did happen.

No, it needs hardware support for that. It needs another level of virtualized MMU, which Apple didn’t build in. That might come with the M4 generation only.

Japan was falling behind technologically and to prevent any crazy New York Times vs OpenAI style litigations they went ahead and did this. It makes sense.

That would be levels and levels of indirection because 32K can be loaded at once and to address 2G in 32K chunks you need over 32K just for the address of the block. And then you need a part of the code loaded that actually does that swappi

Fun side note of an article and I especially enjoyed the link to Metronomy – but consulting Wiktionary which in case of complex etymologies is authoritative, shows us that Persian portogal comes from Ottoman Turkish portokal (which itself b

Thanks for sharing. I did not know that and I did not grow up with much Christian influence (or any), but what this man writes is how I felt like for a long time deep inside. It resonates with me very much.

We say now “some sect”, but today’s mainstream Trinitarians were also considered “just some sect” in Early Christianity. It has turned out to become the mainstream view, but really trinitarianism and antitrinitarianism are both valid views

My anecdote is this: I had a Ubuntu 20.04 VM from university with 64 GB memory and my process needed 70 GB and it did lock my system. And the anecdote continues: I ran a 55 GB process on a 16 GB Mac and it finished without a problem and wit

The memory management on Linux is worse than in Windows and Mac. Mac has an efficient memory compression and dynamic swap system, Windows also has one, but a little bit less efficient in my personal experience, and on Linux you have to conf

I hadn’t heard about this origin story of Japanese KitKat before and looked it up. Kitto katsu! means "you will surely win" or "you will surely succeed". So it is given as tokens for success in exams and the like. Katsu

This was exciting storytelling! It felt like reading a fast-paced almost AI-generated turn-by-turn absurdist short novel. Something like Gogol’s Nose. I couldn’t predict any of the sentences in this story, it was a really surprising and cap

Significantly faster absolute single core CPU performance than a 12900K is pretty good and not disappointing at all. I find the improvements in A17 Pro substantial.

Just get the 96G option? It is only around 100$ more for 1.5x the memory. And 1.5x the memory is worth it when you are interested in high memory applications anyway. What is your usecase, LLMs? Other AI models? Multiple large VMs? It’s alwa

Twice as hot is also useful in Celsius. For every increase of 10C chemical reactions happen twice as fast, it will literally, thermodynamically be twice as hot. Which will probably even match your subjective feeling. Celsius scales thermody
