Sadly, those won't come.

That's what I mean though- in the Core 2 Duo vs K8 / Athlon days, Intel was much slower for denormals and subnormals than AMD. I'm not sure why but I thought this was common knowledge.

I grew up in South Africa, and there was this classic newspaper cartoon back in the day: a kid goes to his dad and says "Dad, I want to become a criminal!" and the dad asks, "Government or private sector?"

Most of them are extremely unstable, which is what the Morse number encodes - the number of directions you can roll down doing action minimisation. I don't think any N-body choreographies can exist in nature, because it requires point

I have something similar at https://gravitoy.xyz With it I have discovered up to 11-dimensional choreographies, see https://lycium.github.io/hyperchoreography/ and code at https://github.com&#x2F

Spelt, not spelled; tisk tisk ;) I love everything about this!

Hear, hear! I should very much like to see the Linux kernel adopt Bespoke instead of that terribly uncouth Rust manner of speaking, like a mouth full of nails.

You definitely don't want to rock the boat and undermine the diamond industry, that much is crystal clear.

Rocket Knight Adventures!!! Immediately I can hear the music in my head, and I haven't thought about this game in a long, looooong time! Thank you for mentioning it, I'm off to get a Mega Drive emulator :)

Is the zero instead of capital O in the title intentional?

At least spell his name correctly, my goodness... Terence Tao.

Pretty sure we mean < 1ms rather than actually instantaneous.

Another example is autocorrect absolutely destroying the world's ability to spell even the most basic words. Ever since mobile phones came along and removed the friction of walking to the dictionary, everywhere I look people write as i

It really gives me the heebie jeebies when people refer to Reddit (or any website) as an app, and in general demand that everything that used to be a simple website get turned into a data-hoovering Electron abomination.

Zen3 isn't the best performing CPU today, though of course it'll never approach GPU level (which is pretty much ASIC level for matrix muls with special units). CPUs are getting dedicated "AI accelerators" too so it'

The next logical thought would be, maybe I want the thing I can't have (i.e. 100% of subscription used for Fable).

If they want to sell me 50% something I don't want then they get 0% sale and my money goes to their competitors. Simple as that, Anthropic.

Yes, yes, yes! I'm absolutely ready and waiting with dual Strix Halo machines here and really want something approaching Opus at home. Speed is secondary concern for now, that would absolutely change the world. Qwen 3.6 27b 8b quant 16

I disagree, it's both right in the title and the topic of the article. Weariness (fatigue), not wariness.

by pixelpoet 3mo ago
Yes, I'm aware of the word wary; now look up "weary". Wary as in "beware" is different from weary as in tired. I see this mistake all the time...

by pixelpoet 3mo ago
Since we're talking about fatigue: weary*

People who make such blanket statements only see things in black and white.

We're about to find out! Not to mention all the doctors who'll be getting sick from hordes of people with basic cold and flu piling up in their practices. Man, Merz truly is a genius! You can tell he's had so much experience
