In the long term interconnected nations might make electricity cheap everywhere. Currently it's mostly making it more expensive everywhere else. (As someone living in south of Sweden.)
For the problems ASICs exist they vastly outperform general hardware. Typically both in absolute speed and efficiency. But it's only possible to make custom ASICs when you have a specific problem to solve. For newer…
The different models of chips and memory config have very different memory speeds as well. Eg the M4 Max 128GB has a bandwidth speed of 500GB/s+. And that's true for other models as well. But as you note, the base speed…
The main PCB is pretty much everything that has value. The rest is a heatsink, case and PSU.
The PC platforms have anemic memory bandwidth in comparison. Eg, Strix Halo is 256GB/s max. If money is a bigger limiter than performance it can be an option though. As can Nvidia DGX Spark machines. (Also limited to…
It's worth noting that the 5090 (or the RTX Pro 6000 big brother with 92GB VRAM) will run rings around the Mac when it comes to compute. My old 3090 is typically significantly faster (almost 2x token/s) than my M4 Max…
One case where Apple can be very useful is if you're traveling a lot for work. Wherever you are you can probably find a local store that sells and services Macbooks. So if your machine is damaged during a trip you can…
I think the point was that even if you managed to make a O(n*2) parser it will ve fast enough for human entered problems.
Sounds like this is similar to a decompilation (pay walled article so I haven't read it). A while back a listened to a podcast where they interviewed people doing this and it was quite interesting. (And it's an…

Their Foundation adaptation is pretty terrible at understanding what the books are about. Going from a story where societies and not individuals are the "heroes" to people with magical powers.
I'm assuming it's meant the other way around. Given their estimates of a Mac being able to generate $1k (per month?) a 5090 with a lot more power would be able to generate $50k. For a $3k piece of hardware. Which is…
Strange. I've been running it on several different ubuntu 24 04 machines with standard terminal with no issues.
But with waymos it would be possible. Mark those streets as "extremely slow" and never go there unless you are dropping someone off. (The computer has more patience than human drivers.) If that's too annoying then bad…
The field of "AI assisted programming" is progressing extremely rapidly. Claude code (arguably the most recent large change, even if it wasn't the first of it's type) was released one year ago. After watching the video…
If you just want to play I believe the Google alternative can even run on the free tokens you get from them. It's not going to do all that much before running out of tokens but you can probably have it make a simple…
Even at the Max plan it's not unlimited. IIRC they say the limit is something like 20x the $20 plan. With "normal use" you're unlikely to hit the limit though, unless you only use the Opus model and do things in…
If you want to fingerprint text you can also do it by small insignificant changes to text which doesn't change the meaning. If you have a number such locations with alternatives then you can make a number of…
The typical "best practice" for these tools tend to be to ask it something like "I want you to do feature X. Analyse the code for me and make suggestions how to implement this feature." Then it will go off and work for…
It is typically neither free nor open to develop on consoles. As in, you pay to access developer tools. iOS and Android less so (even if there is a one time charge for Android and a yearly charge on Apple). OTOH I have…
Jim Keller goes into some detail about what difference the ISA makes in general in this clip https://youtu.be/yTMRGERZrQE?si=u-dEXwxp0MWPQumy Spoiler, it's not much because most of the actual execution time is spent in…
That would probably be preferable from a PR standpoint.
None of those games are made for children. Particularly not CoD and Battlefield. That doesn't mean kids don't want to play them. But Roblox is pitching itself as a safe space for kids.
"People Make Games" on YouTube made some videos about it. Recommended watching for any parent who is trying to figure out if they should allow their child on Roblox. (Spoilers, the answer is "no".)
There are Python bindings for the framework as well. Personally I could see Go being quite nice to use if you want to deploy something as eg a compiled serverless function. I'm assuming the framework behaves the same…
