The self feeding AI has destroyed itself at last

X elite uses an older node than lunar lake and does better

You mean how they all use tsmc n3 and the two arm parts still beat out lunar lake? It’s not like a whole generational node behind here. I get they aren’t the exact same process node but still.

I have, the m4 is significantly ahead by any measure I’ve seen, with snapdragon just behind.

Have they reached apple m level of performance/watt after half a decade of the apple m parts being out yet? Do either AMD or Intel beat Apple in any metric in mobile?

I'm glad Intel is continuing to make GPUs, really. But ultimately it seems like an uphill battle against a very entrenched monopoly with a software and community moat that was built up over nearly 20 years at this point. I wonder what it will take to break through.

And yet... the world keeps proving Intel and AMD wrong on this premise with highly efficient Arm parts. While sure, there's bound to be improvements to make on x86 ultimately its a variable length opcode encoding with a complex decoder path. If nothing else, this is likely a significant issue in comparison to the nicely word aligned op code encoding arm has and surely given apples to apples core designs, the opcode decoding would be a deciding factor.

One emergency visit is like 10k here now. Best of luck.

Let me know when the legal quagmire around AI generated junk is sorted and it can run reasonably on a local desktop not on a cloud. I might give it a go again. So far it’s been trash that requires cloud access with questionable legality around who owns what.

I've yet to see AI produce anything that wasn't hot garbage. I'm perfectly fine using Rust or C without carpal tunnel issues depending on the context.

The question to ask is... why have the junior be a chatgpt interface if this is the case.

AI is hot garbage being used as if its a hammer and everything is a nail. The sooner this house of cards collapses the sooner real value can be gained from it by using it as a tool to appropriately assist.

But we're in the mega hype phase still (1998/1999) and haven't quite crested over to the reality phase.

Go nearly gave me carpal tunnel with the vast quantities and almost the same but not quite the same repetitive code patterns it brings along with it. I’d never use it again.

So Qualcomm continues its Qualcomm behavior.

Hey I know a few started up former hw design people that worked at intel just prior... maybe you've all heard of tenstorrent?

Intel is absolutely in a death spiral. Not much else to say. They are cutting cost with no real plan on growth if they are saying they won't invest in the foundry anymore. Foundry was a solid play by Pat, really their only play. Instead Intel seems set to lose whatever remaining relevance they have to their Arm, TSM, Nvidia, and AMD competitors which have a lead in both design and manufacturing a decade in the making.

Any athlete really knows this to be true. You don't lose weight running/lifting/biking, you lose it in the kitchen.

Multi-day hiking forces the issue as you have to carry the kitchen on your back.

This is why it’s worth paying for email not at Google. It’s not expensive.

You could self host but that’s a nuisance I’m happy to pay someone for.

Search sucks even when using English. It fails to find emails I know have certain words in the subject.

The entire Google ecosystem is a hot dumpster fire of garbage that doesn’t help me at all at this point. It used to be amazing when they focused on organizing information rather than selling eyeballs. But all things turn to shit chasing profits.

The language is highly productive, it’s pragmatic enough. There’s no perfect language until our brains can directly describe what we want a machine to do without intermediary translation layers like C.

I might be alone, but I miss the ridiculously simple all manual cars/trucks with crank windows, 5 speed and a clutch, and just the simplest damn interior.

I don't want all the damn gadgets, those things inevitably break and then cost thousands to fix.

AI slop is coming in all forms. I see people using AI for code reviews on github now and they are net negative leading people to do the wrong things.

I have a fundamental fear that Apple will lose itself the day it chases profits with Ads.

If I wanted Ad spam I would've used Google.

The republican playbook continues… profit for their family, friends, and donors at the expense everyone. Tax cuts aren’t needed, we already have relatively low taxes. Taxing all the ways rich dipshits work around taxes is very much needed.

I too can cast pointers to memcpy'ed C structs. What I can't do in a short order is generate language agnostic descriptors in an IDL that then gets converted to the language of choice to send/recv messages over a wire or file with fast validation. Capnproto does all of this.

So while rkyv looks cool, I think its going to be limited by its language specific tie ins with Rust, and the numbers are skewed towards the unvalidated "deserialization" (pointer casting...).

It's another Uber moment for VC. The bullshit ends as soon as becoming a functioning business suddenly takes precedence, and the real costs start to come out.

Cheap by what measure? Surely not by the carbon footprint these large capital intense datacenters are going up in droves to support them? Surely not given by the revenue being generated by one silicon design company at the moment?

I think this article is measuring all the wrong things and therefore comes to the wrong conclusion.

he was a lobbyist as fcc chair too if you watch what he voted for

US carriers are the absolute worst trying to squeeze every penny while the service has become worse. Flew through Japan on a Japanese carrier and the difference was insane. Japanese carrier was customer centric at every step.

Why bundle redis and not another embedded kv store like lmdb?
