There's a trade-off between how long you wait and the skill spread of the team. IIRC at the very top, for DOTA2, the pros complained enough for the devs to make a "wait longer" mat…

I got a similar looking Stax amp (the SRM series). Also quite satisfying. It has a split volume dial so that you can adjust the volume of each channel separately.

I wonder how much effect the CPU's register remapping has on these results. Also, they ran it on an ancient CPU, but I'm not sure how much that matters.

I love the hackability of Thinkpads circa that generation.

I'm using Kimi K3 + OpenCode. I pay their API pricing, costs about $5 / hour (and chews through ~10 million tokens / hour) during continuous use when I have one or two sessions run…

Very much agreed. Even more basic than that - memory access patterns are important. The amusing thing is that you end up writing GPU-style code even for CPU. For example - instead …

What are some good tools for _authoring_ HDR photography? Lightroom still seems to be mostly SDR. The new Resolve will probably have the tooling, but I haven't tried it.

I meant that they're increasingly converging to be Oppo phones (now running the same OS, hardware is a slightly tweaked Oppo phone variant, etc).

They were one of the brands with unlockable bootloaders and slide switches for mute. Unfortunately the Oppo takeover didn't preserve either. Written on a OnePlus 8 Pro.

I wonder if this tool can help with EMC compliance testing. My TinySA needs an LNA, so I wonder if this has the required noise floor.

The FIRE net worth seems unrealistically low.

Huh. When I rented a Z7 ii about 5 years ago, I found their Android app to be pretty great. (My next big camera is likely to be a Nikon, in part due to the nice app)

I've spent the last several years of building a very, very fancy scale (well, more of an industrial and R&D lab tool that can be used as a scale). The reason is that most people us…

I remember a story on HN from a while back. The idea is that the larger the org, the simpler the message and the tool has to be to reach everyone. The comment author was saying tha…

Not necessarily. I'm a proponent of (admittedly not very popular) methodology of "train, do interpretability analysis, adjust model architecture". It's not more popular for a few r…

IIRC the original author of the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis now disavows that idea. One intuitive way of looking at it is like so - let's say that you have a gaussian-looking plot. Y…

Yes it would. Or, rather, labeling (not extra tokens).

Really neat findings. I've personally had a line of thought where you bake in the role into the token. Basically have an embedding (same dim as token dim) for each role, add it to …

I think this also stems from ML being more like biology or alchemy and less like math or programming (where you can get down to the first principles, abstractions are rock solid, a…

Krazam already has a video covering this exact idea.

On my (admittedly weird) setup, GPT-5.5 Pro times out. The reading is off because the thermistor resistance also depends on applied voltage, not just temperature. LLMs couldn't get…

I'm personally heavily testing LLMs on electrical engineering problems. I'm finding that it's not meaningfully better at figuring out what's up than the other models. To give you a…

The dev boards are already up for sale. I'm personally looking forward to the modules being stocked on LCSC, no idea when though.

This is the PCPartPicker chart that I monitor: https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/#ram.ddr5.5600.... - $900 for 2x32GB, used to be $200 a year ago.
