That’s interesting because I would’ve thought having strong local compute was the old way of thinking. I run huge jobs that consume very large amounts of compute. But the machines …

If your goal is to sell more MBPs (and this is marketing presentation) then, judging by the number of comments that have the phrase "my M1" and the top comment, it seems like M1 vs…

I just assumed they were running one of the many "Office Productivity" benchmarks that are possible. For example: https://support.benchmarks.ul.com/support/solutions/articles...

My guess is the only reason to open and upgrade a computer is if one needs (or wants) to be on the bleeding edge of what local compute is capable of on a day to day basis. With the…

I agree the overall math is easier in the frequency domain, especially because you don’t know which frequencies are problematic so best to look at all of them, but I think the conc…

As someone who makes HW for a living, please do make more Rube Goldberg machines of black box LLMs. At least for a few more years until my kids are out of college. :)

You probably did dodge a bullet. The correct answer to every engineering question is "it depends". :)

Depends. If the competing universities degrade into glorified coding boot camps they’ll probably get thier lunch eaten in turn. And graduates need to be getting reasonable job offe…

Sounds roughly like an internship

I suppose, but the 3D printer requires consumable inputs. So without active shipping that printer is going to have a very limited lifetime. There’s always a corner case, like havin…

It is a bit unfair though as one is comparing new MCU to ancient parts. For example the TLV9301 is a updated version on the 741 and is superior in basically every possible spec, bu…

I think it's more that the 555 is basically the heart of hysteretic controller in a box, but it doesn't have the other stuff you need. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang–bang_contr…

This trick is used a ton when doing hand calculation in engineering as well. It can save a lot of work. You're going to have tolerance on the result anyway, so what's a little more…

Depends on where the worker is in the supply chain. For example: https://www.cato.org/blog/how-american-steel-protectionism-h... "Numerous economic analyses have shown that these m…

mips64!? That's a blast from the past. It must be some kind of legacy hw that's getting current software updates in some kind of really niche use case. Or academia. :) Like previou…

you’re not wrong. But on the other hand, there are events like this. https://www.npr.org/2022/01/03/1069974416/texas-winter-storm... So at least sometimes, it is life or death.

Apparently they are a thing. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2024/05/09/shotgu... If attack drones can move like racing drones, that’s going to be a hard shot to pull of…

Putting aside whatever "true sustainability" means, it's unlikely that it's a money thing. It's probably more related to the efficiency of individuals in organizations as they grow…

Obsolete doesn't mean that the computer needs to be thrown away immediately. It means that Apple will no long allocate a portion of its finite software resources towards this machi…

It’s more like no one outside of Google has been able to reproduce Google’s results. And not for lack of trying. So if you’re outside of Google, at this moment, it’s vapor.

You guys have to define “fast”. After all, speed is relative. :)

On the other hand, pretty much anything manufactured after the year 2000 only lasts like 5 years...
