Would the sky also be filled with infinite black holes?

All that helps, but if you look at the die you are going to see a massive 12MB L2 with a bunch of routing to all the L1s. That’s where the majority of the cost is going vs any othe…

It’s an L2, amd zen has 2x16mb L3s, with a wacky point of unification. L3 is muuuuch slower than L2. Apple’s L2 is huge and is the PoU for all the cores. I wouldn’t be surprised if…

Because of the 12MB L2 cache as the point of unification. 865 snapdragon has a 4mb L3. Same as my recent intel MacBook. Apple can use at least as much more die as amd/qcom/intel’s …

A lot easier to lug my 16lb road carbon bike up and down stairs then a 30lb commuter

Google android app search is just as bad. That’s because “store search” is a totally different problem than indexing the web. Even indexing the web is a different problem now than …

Nvidia buys ARM, Apple builds its own GPU, and the dance goes on.

These articles on HN always remind me how much more work crypto has to do in terms of education to the general technical public. Crypto Twitter is a recursive bubble.

We built a whole BPF tool chain for rust :), although not for kernel development. https://github.com/solana-labs/rust If this kind of seems interesting please send us a CV.

2015 is the best MacBook! Touchbar is terrible, but I applaud them for trying. They are trying imagine a perfect touch interface.

The butterfly keyboard is such a classic Apple thing todo. To push form well beyond the limits of current manufacturing capabilities just because of an ideology. How many big compa…

I wrote a Makefile that applied a bunch of imagemagick filters to thousands of photos. Married with two kids now :)

Hey folks! Solana (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana) is hiring for a couple rare skill sets. * low latency UDP networking * berkeley packet filter * llvm/GPU/SIMD acceleration…

> It's entirely hard to believe this considering the obscene amounts of profits that US companies make by just "designing in california". Our whole era is enabled and defined by ch…

Despite all this, US tech firms still have a harder time operating in China. > A meta point I'd like to add is that currently 10 % of the earths population in the "Westosphere" con…

Money printer go brrrr, means invest in housing. It’s the only investment that gives you 500k of tax free profit. Also, you know your city, the local market and what the possibilit…

Pivot to the pacific was an Obama initiative that was loooong in the making. It doesn’t matter who drives the train, the tracks are already laid.

P != NP will be proven before we have a breakeven fusion.

(BD -> Eng Stress) ^ pre PMF

BD needs to generate enough sales to keep the engineers stressed out. When you don't have that, you end up with politics. OR the company is pre PMF, and everyone needs to operate i…

Actually both! Arithmetic coding works over any kind of predictor.

Compression is AI. It’s never going to be “all” figured out.

Bitcoin is a fascinating thing. People think this is a bug, but I think it's a feature. The cost of physical settlement and risk is measurable and transparent to everyone involved.…

Not quite. You can bribe the miners with your old private key if you act fast enough :)

We actually build a whole public blockchain around VDFs. Although we are using it as a clock in the network before consensus to do the same kind of optimization tricks that cellula…
