Your suspicion could have easily been cleared by reading the paper. If you're short on time: the paper reads a bit dry, but falls in the norm for academic writing. The github repo …

If we go by Microsofts 2020 account of 1 billion devices running Windows 10 [0], and assume all those are running some kind of electron app (or multiple?) you easily get your gigaw…

Not sure about that, SSDs historically have followed base-2 sizes (think of it as a legacy from their memory-based origins). What does happen in SSDs is that you have overprovision…

It's at the end, in the "What are the standards units?" section.

Yes, the thought crossed my mind too... But then I tried a private window and it opened, so maybe the other suggestion that the cookies are very long lived is right.

A little bit off topic: but I couldn't even start to read the article because "I reached my article limit" out of I site I never visited before... What are they using to determine …

In the ~30 years I've used computers, they've become ~1,000,000 times faster. My daily experience with computers doesn't show it. There's someone out there who took the time to mea…

The abstract of OPs link mentions "Processing-Using-DRAM (PUD)" as exactly that, using off the shelf components. I do wonder how they achieve that, I guess fiddling with the contro…

No, I just went to search if the topic is mentioned in guidelines (which it is, multiple times). I'd then expect a (good) expert to pick on those breadcrumbs and search on how to d…

The lack of standards falls on the acting part. I ran a quick search and found that SWGDE best practices guides and documents do consider the case for the presence of malware on th…

That's interesting. A project at work is affected by Windows slow open() calls (wrt to Linux/Mac) but we haven't found a strong solution rather than "avoid open() as much as you ca…

As of now 9%. I thought hitting the HN front page could have a much larger impact on this, but it seems that's about it this time.

When I moved some projects from OpenCV 3 to 4 I got a nice speed up pretty much everywhere, some things no speed up at all and some others pretty big. I can't really remember the n…

Indeed, it's their trademark style. It has also worked great for them.

I thought I might have missed a rename. Microsoft tends to rename things at random times.

I ran a few tests in Windows Terminal. The bomb emoji got width 2, while the motorboat got width 1 and correct aspect ratio, though I didn't quite get to see it properly until I zo…

Is that Windows Terminal, or have they renamed it yet again?

> It means LK99 is about as good as the other materials, at minimum. However, its chemical composition is different than any of the other materials on the chart (i.e. it is lead ba…

> But then why “20 years”? Would performance at the level of a 30-year professional be considered failure? They're keeping the "30 years of experience" agent for the 2.0 version /s…

It's also 3.6 times faster, in a world where hardware updates get you 20-ish % improvements per generation.

Today the upper range of RAM in devices is in the hundred-GB. 10 years ago it was about 16GB or so, and making a (probably bad) interpolation I think it wouldn't be crazy to have t…

I'm curious about your view on ONNX. At work we did a few prototypes and it seemed to work well enough for our use cases, and we're moving to it. What is it that we haven't seen ye…

No need to quote you, but GvR himself [0]. That's the Faster CPython initiative, which has been ongoing for about 2 or 3 years I think. 3.11 got some nice speedups from it, and 3.1…

One other thing. The article states pythons performance at keys-per-second, then all the other numbers are given in keys-per-minute. That means that pythons number looks really sma…

I've been using a Zen2 notebook for the past few years, and was honestly surprised by the processors performance for the first... 3 or 4 months. Then typical updates happened. And …
