> Pre-merge, this took 5.9 billion uncached input tokens, 690 million output tokens, and 72 billion cached input token reads — around $165,000 at API pricing. By hand, I think this would've taken 3 engineers with full…
> THE SPINNER MESSAGE CAUSES 100% GPU USAGE ON AN MBP M5!! One conspiratorial idea I had was that this isn't a bug, and that Codex was actually doing computation on users' hardware under the guise of "thinking". Like…
People conflate the ideas of happiness, and comfort. Money buys access to increasing levels of comfort, but comfort becomes normalized very quickly. Once you've become accustomed to a certain level of comfort, the…
You've made me do even more digging and now I'm even more confused. ATMega328P, data sheet specifically calls out using that it cannot represent full range, ADC = VIN * 1024 / VREF. The STM32F4 datasheet shows an…
This was a genuinely thought provoking article. I had to challenge some personal assumptions. Coming from an electrical engineering background, I disagree with how the author presented "Two types of quantizers".…
That’s the mental model that works for people, specifically those that come from VM workflow. Ironically that’s how Docker works on every platform where it’s running a non-native OS. On macOS that’s how all images are…
I have a wonderful book that explores this idea of an atlas of flavours that work together. The flavor bible. I can assure you that it does not contain 1800 ingredients in all of there combinations, but it does a…
Well, we finally got to find out what an Apple car would have looked like.
I find it weird today that we are still fascinated by video wall papers. This was literally my first hack I did in high school in 2005. Doing something I’d never seen done before, a video wallpaper. Step one, grab a…
Tailwind isn't just a framework; it's a design system. The creators of Tailwind wrote the brilliant book "Refactoring UI" [0], which presents a systematic design system, introducing ideas such a type-scales,…
I think you miss understood the challenge. They are using a 60Msps ADC with a parallel port interface. The challenge is capturing the 600Mbit/s of data and having enough CPU and memory bandwidth to do anything useful…
> But nope, WebRTC has no buffering and renders based on arrival time. Like seriously, timestamps are just suggestions. It’s even more annoying when video enters the picture. I felt that comment my bones. Why would…
I love your reverse psychology analogy. That does make me wonder, if a cap past its SRF is an inductor, and and inductor past its SRF is a cap, why not swap caps for inductors and vice versa, put an amplifier on the end…
Loop inductance is what really matters with decoupling. Once you understand that, it becomes really easy to make good decisions. This article explains how you can approximate the inductance for a given layout, so it…
Am I so out of touch? No! It’s the children who are wrong!
Or simply that Solvespace is a fantastic tool for 2D work? The sketcher is amazing and it has a straight forward workflow for laser cutting. Draw your panel, export to SVG, adjust in Inkscape (cut lines, etches, fills),…
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. It’s very frustrating that the tried and true method of sampling comparators has become prohibitively expensive due to niche parts. I suspected that the ST HRTIMER would be a good…
Did you miss the point of the article? JPEG-XL encoding doesn't rely on quantisation to achieve its performance goals. Its a bit like how GPU shaders use floating point arithmetic internally but output quantised values…
This would introduce a bias towards countries that are large and have extensive motorway networks. They would appear safer than countries that have a smaller portion of motorway miles. > If we look at the number of…
I think you have a misunderstanding about the Ethernet standard they are discussing. This isn’t copper Ethernet, its fibre Ethernet standard. Copper Ethernet caps out at 25Gb/s with an impractically short 10 meter cable…
Absolutely. Software encoders are constantly pushing the envelope in terms of quality, and they have tuneable knobs to allow you to pick the speed vs quality trade off. Hardware encoders are much more restrictive. They…
Absolutely cringe worthy. The painful thing is it’s just a simple conversation factor but I couldn’t take the article seriously after that. Speaking of reinventing, the article rediscovered the concept of bakers…
Unless the virus derived from gain-of-function research, which is one of the likely hypothetical origins. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10234839/
Isn’t it funny that they decided that, of all episodes, was the one that crossed some sort of line decency. The episode was entirely on-brand, but I can see how someone might watch that one episode and be turned off.…
Honestly it’s incredible that sending 12,000 satellites into space to provide internet coverage to multiple continents across the world is as cheaper than installing ground based infrastructure. The cost per satellite…
