    The 4x comes from the neural accelerators (tensor core in NVIDIA jargon). It's 4x fp16 over the vector path (And 8x compared to M1 because at some point they 2x'd the fp16 vector p…

    afaia emulators like Fex are within 30 to 70% of native performance. On the fringes worse or better. But overall emulation seems totally fine. Plus emulator technology in general c…

    Some companies like to stress the efficiency or performance of Arm SoCs, but really this is a hedge against more expensive x86 hardware. AMD has increased prices of mobile SoCs rad…

    That's what it seems like. Some people here disagree with you, but I can add anecdata that my employer insisted I do no coding on such a VISA.

    Indeed, the memory model has a decent impact. Unfortunately it's difficult to isolate in measurement. Only Apple has support for weak memory order and TSO in the same hardware.

    This means GPUs are dead for local enthusiast AI. And SoCs with big RAM are in. Because 17B active parameters should reach enough performance on 256bit LPDDR5x.

    Overallcoation has a limit. You only have so much RAM/storage. Beyond that you start swapping. I could really use a hash table (or similar structure) that degrades less with higher…

    If that was the intend an animation that doesn't literally crush things would have worked much better. Let it fall into a black hole and let an iPad emerge or whatever. The dramati…

    I can tell you that I watched the recording, cringed for a few seconds and skipped it, and moved on with my life. After the outrage, revisiting my 3 seconds of feelings, I tend to …

    I wish the author would have put some actual numbers on the cost of the different technologies. Arguing about tradeoffs including that information would be much more meaningful.

    Why did they make the front out of glas? This weigh a lot more than plastic (or aluminium if transparency is not needed), and is probably wuite expensive, too.

    It’s 4GB per address space / per process. In aggregate you can use more.

    Webex is worse. Sharepoint & powerpoint integration, large scale broadcast (300+?people uses different techniques) and transcripts are helpful. Haven’t used the chat much, but it s…
