Maybe the media headlines are sensational (as they always are), and it’s unfortunate that it leaked before the papers were officially released. But Jupiter emitting radio waves is really not relevant here. The signal they saw is a very arr

Here they are[0]. The 4 performance cores + 4 efficiency cores of the M1 hold up pretty well against the 8 core AMD chips. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste...

A human is no more capable of solving the halting problem than a computer. And we aren’t doing some kind of magical logic when we humans create proofs. Sure naively general automated proof generation could be exponential in nature, but that

Or some Russian hardware mysteriously is “stolen” and ends up in Belarus with some little green men to operate it. Would they need to shoot down the entire constellation? I could imagine them threatening to shoot it down (and maybe a few de

I assume the “Possible End of Progress” section is what the OP is referring to.

No, I think you are misunderstanding the thread or projecting something onto the statistics.

In a way this isn’t a “similarly spaced Mac” though - it’s using Xeon CPUs, ECC RAM, server motherboard with 6 memory channels, professional GPU, etc. The problem is if you want a Mac tower desktop they don’t offer anything with consumer co

Sure if you’re driving only on the highway. What about driving around the city at 5-20 mph? Tesla’s end goal is to have autopilot do everything, so if they are serious about it then it makes sense to consider the impact at non-highway speed

Look at the history of CPU performance over the past decade. If we were to get a 20% IPC increase in desktop processors it would be a big deal.

There is a difference between parallelizable and embarrassingly parallelizable. The former means that you can get better performance by dividing the work among different processors, while the latter usually implies that the work can be divi

>Like your PC and smartphone This isn’t necessarily true for your smartphone, because some ARM CPUs don’t do the speculative execution that Spectre/Meltdown exploit. For example, CPU in the raspberry pi 3 didn’t have these vulnerabi

We’re watching a hot non-nuclear military confrontation between two nuclear powers (India and Pakistan) as we speak. The dynamics between the US and China are obviously much different but I don’t think we can 100% rule out a non nuclear con

Agreed, although I would hesitate to call the PBE functional a “first principles” model.
