I've heard wired EarPods are great or a USB DAC is under $10. It's still easier to have the headphone jack though.

AMD, Apple, Arm, and Qualcomm have increased single-core performance every generation. I guess Intel has been stalled due to their fab problems.

Usually network namespaces are linked together with a single bridge so you can get lock contention there. If you have a separate physical NIC for each namespace you probably won't have any contention.

Arm lawyers have the RTL locked down tight. If you find it, it means you are already dead.

Phoronix should have them soon. Or if they don't it means the performance is bad.

Often the Linux scheduling improvements come a year or two after the chip. Also, Linux makes moment-by-moment scheduling and allocation decisions that are unaware of the big picture of workload requirements.

I wouldn't assume those are coming this year.

We should have N1X vs. X2 vs. M5 laptop battery life reviews in a few months.

the new dual die thing they’re promoting for how they make the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips? It's chiplets just like GB10, Strix Halo, etc. One die has the CPU and the other die has the GPU. How is that different from the silicon [bridge

Iran's attacks are only perpetual if they have oil and electricity, right? At a certain point we turn it all off.

Bitcoin has lost almost half its value. Bitcoin has lost half its value (or more) several times in its history. What took so long? This time it's dead for sure. The answer is that crypto was held aloft for months by a period of eu

AFAIK Windows 3.x flipped a bunch of Mac decisions to avoid being sued and then MS felt that they had to keep those choices forever for backwards compatibility.

LLMs should use tool calling (which is 100% reliable) instead of doing math internally. But in general it would be nice to be able to teach a process and have the AI execute it deterministically. In some sense, reliability between 99% and 1

No one will pay 20x today's prices. I could see free tiers basically going away, subscriptions staying the same price but with lower limits, and tokens staying the same price because that price already has margin built in. I agree that

Jack Dorsey looks like a homeless person and he spends his time meditating and talking about Bitcoin. People knew what they were getting into.

It's AGI if it works. Didn't Salesforce lay off support people to replace them with AI but then the AI didn't work?
