    The memory bandwith on M4 Max is 546 GB/s, M5 Max is 614GB/s, so not a huge jump. The new tensor cores, sorry, "Neural Accelerator" only really help with prompt preprocessing aka p…

    Related to this, how do you get your comments that you add in the review back into your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex etc.)? Everybody talks about AI doing the code review, but…

    I think the ability to actually run the code on the target helped a lot with understanding and optimizing for the specific micro architecture. Quite a few of the ideas turned out t…

    I used Claude Opus 4.5 inside Cursor to write RISC-V Vector/SIMD code. Specifically Depthwise Convolution and normal Convolution layers for a CNN. I started out by letting it write…

    Seems like the hiker at the bottom of the article was introduced in 1997 and removed only in 2017: https://s.geo.admin.ch/be66brq5oby9

    I have the PCIe version of NanoKVM, and I am also happy with it. The big advantage of the PCIe version is that it does not take up space on the desk and all the cables for ATX powe…

    The VPN product is very good, it's basically a thin wrapper around Mullvad, arguably the best VPN on the planet right now. At least from a privacy standpoint.

    Why do you think it's a negative result? The table on page 9 shows great results.

    There are quite a few well funded companies now that use forks of VSCode: Google (IDX, now Firebase Studio), Cursor, Windsurf (especially if they are bought by OpenAI soon), GitLab…

    Gamers Nexus is talking to one big PC manufacturer (my guess is Dell) that is seeing failure rates of 10-25% for specific SKUs: https://youtu.be/gTeubeCIwRw?t=527&si=YzpDzI2IyadzQY…

    The best way to swap desktops is to install the correct Ubuntu flavour from the start, i.e. Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu to avoid those problems. I am quite happy with Regolith Desk…

    I wonder if they have a clear hardware separation between each of the API, ChatGPT, their lower-scale experiments and their large scale (e.g. GPT5) training hardware. Or is everyth…

    Consumer AMD chips to be precise. AMD is mostly focusing on their datacenter chips (MI300X), and I assume the support for AI workloads there is much better. They might even see the…

    I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is "all of the above" and more. Not only is there limited availability of NVIDIA chips, it's also useful to tell Jensen that you actually coul…

    The recently released XTTS-v2 model[0] from coqui.ai is coming very close to what ElevenLabs[1] can do. It runs reasonably fast on a recent GPU, and should also work on CPU. Requir…
