Oh interesting. As a performance metric that does seem like it would be more valuable for lots of use cases, so measuring that seems good. Maybe they need to add an additional “cpu bound multiprocessing perf”, and make it easier for profess

Oh I didn’t look at the linked benchmark because I assumed that the person who posted it would have ensured that the compared “already existing” benchmark was already existing when the article was posted. Derp.

The article itself directly acknowledges this saying “of course this will be surpassed once we can benchmark the m4 max” (or something similar). I wonder if their rules are “we only announce benchmarks we’ve done ourselves”? Coupled with “w

I read this a few times and just wanted to confirm - are you saying the benchmark itself is can’t handle the higher core count?

Alyssa is amazing, I remember the first article about the GPU work, and then learning she was only 17 and poof mind blown. It's truly stunning that anyone could do what she did, let alone a teenager (yes I know, she's not a teen

I still don’t understand how these fraudulent DMCA claims aren’t outright criminal - I thought even the garbage state of the law at least made objectively false claims requires a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith

No, I'm not defending them. I think billionaires behaving like this is garbage behavior, I personally think that if I were a billionaire I would not behave like this (and if any multi-billionaires out there are willing to fund it, I wo

The speed of vehicles is not super relevant in the context of the intrinsic safety for a pedestrian crossing the road. Assuming reasonable amounts of visibility . The safest way for a pedestrian to cross a road is a location where there is

Of course, the question is "is it a crime to cross a road outside of those designated points" in america the answer is often "yes". Which means the only legal place to cross a road is an intersection, which is significan

Jaywalking is a pedestrian crossing outside of explicitly designated crossings points. In the US that means by *default( any pedestrian crossing any street at any location other than a pedestrian crossing or an intersection, regardless of d

No, the problem you're having here is that you're thinking of a house as being an asset in a way that stocks are not, and that's not correct it's just a 'things that matter to me in the "real world"'

Not growing up in america I never understood what jaywalking was - I legit assumed it was a pedestrian crossing a freeway because nothing else made sense. Growing up I was taught explicitly to do what in the US was a crime: crossing betwe

I can't tell what is meant by a "synthetic manual transmission"? They're writing about it in the same sentence as "fake engine noises" but I assume they mean something more than "gear stick that changes cu

Um, as far as I know apple does not use faces to track people. I'm not sure about google, but my experience with the folk working their make me suspect that even they would not start correlating faces across accounts/users (though

You should be using a cookie for this purpose, you could in fact just store the ui settings directly in the cookie. It becomes tracking once you say “I have an ID in a cookie, and I’m going to look up the settings for that ID in my own gian

Yeah, that's reasonable lets go for that, so given statements to the effect of A) Ending democracy vs B) Ending cronyism Regardless of how effective you may think they would be at that goal, would you pick (A) over (B)?

Which party is ending capitalism? I'm curious, because there's one party saying explicitly that they intend to end the democratic process, one party explicitly stating the goal is the end of the rule of law, and one party saying t

Depending on the puzzle there is “actual effort”, a lot of these puzzles are not generated. If you’re experienced with solving you can also generally distinguish generated from constructed puzzles. [Edit: Are you looking specifically for ba

At least I don’t need to worry about the gender of a submarine or what kind of object it is, when I want to write a sentence about one. People can work out how to pronounce the words I write and therefore what they meant from context :D

It’s done to properly running businesses, often causing immense harm to others along the way, but the entire goal of the process is to leave an asset less bankrupt shell so no one can be sued. It should be illegal, but because it’s a rich p

Awww it’s talking about “submarine cables” in the sense of “cables that go under water”, not “cables that are in submarines”. Which obviously makes more sense, but I was really curious to learn about this new problem I’d never considered ab

Oh, I thought this was people complaining about having to share their address with Apple and was like “that’s bs just do that, why wasn’t it required already”. I didn’t realize that they meant “share with the public on the store”. That seem
