What a truly arbitrary comment. This is a conversation that is clearly about Google. What possible value did you think you added with what you wrote here.

I subscribe to the idea of Knuth buffers when developing algorithms. They always first go on a piece of paper before they ever see a terminal. Slowing down the process and avoiding distractions helps the process tremendously.

The opportunity from designing cache-aware algorithms is much larger than a 2X speedup. As a rule of thumb, main memory : L1 access times are ~ 100 : 1. The canonical example of a cache-aware algorithm is scanning a 2D array as it is laid o

The author took the time to write four long blog posts on the subject but apparently din't bother to look up cache-oblivious algorithms [1], i.e. the field that deals with designing algorithms that work well in the presence of memory h

The argument makes sense once you think of memory as a hierarchy of different sizes. The log of the size of the set of registers is smaller than the logs of the sizes of Li caches, which in turn are smaller than the log of the size of main

Or, the most likely scenario, especially in the Apple case: Google is made to pay these obscene amounts and has no alternatives other than abandoning a part of the market.

Didn't Apple get close to $20bn from Google last year [1] ? $1bn for a tape-out seems like pocket change. [1] https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/27/google-paid-26-billion-in-20...

It is quite relevant if the focal point is the person's age and not the product by itself.

You can certainly pick&choose user comments, but aggregate statistics suggest that apple maps have ~10% of the maps market. Although it's not clear what that number would be if they ever released their maps for Android, it's a

An audiobook is hardly an appropriate format for this kind of content. It is even worse for this book in particular since it contains a lot of figures and tables. YMMV.

Quite possibly. Also, the flash-forward in that movie was after 2,000 years, which would make the connection with the Antikythera mechanism and the Herculaneum scroll even more relevant. We are the "aliens".

This, along with the way the Antikythera mechanism [1] fragments were decoded [2], always brings to mind the ending of "A.I.: Artificial Intelligence", where aliens far into the future managed to recreate part of human civilizatio
