kissiel··on Tell HN: PayPal Blocks GrapheneOS
My parser got stuck on "Too good to be true, then reconsider."
kissiel··on Tell HN: PayPal Blocks GrapheneOS
I think if paypal not working on GOS makes you not use it, then GOS is definitely not for you...
kissiel··on Field measurements of neighborhood-scale air temperature impacts of data centers
Reminder: 4 degrees = 0.0698131701 rad

(article says 2.2 [C/K], btw)

kissiel··on Intel's make-or-break 18A process node debuts for data center with 288-core Xeon
At least you got the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 386H :)
kissiel··on Show HN: A new programming language inspired by Go, no LLVM
LLVM != LLM

kissiel··on Whistleblower: DOGE Siphoned NLRB Case Data
maybe to detect that the valid credentials are leaked / used in the wilds?
kissiel··on I'm getting fed up of making the rich, richer
As a non-native English speaker: why is there a comma in the title?
kissiel··on Apple M3 Ultra
You're nitpicking, but then you use lowercase b for a byte ;)

Bandwidth to a GPU from a socketed RAM? How?
kissiel··on Researchers discover new third class of magnetism
That sounds very optimistic. Do you have any data to back that up? Is it hot or cold storage? I understand, that the breakdown of magnetic field is indeed slow, but the HDD as a whole is not as sturdy, I think - you need to spin the platters, control the heads and so on.
kissiel··on Advent of Code 2024
Or use it to practice a language that you just wanted to give a spin.
kissiel··on M4 Mac mini's efficiency
I really hope you mean you unplug the power cable from the TV, cause none of the modern TVs turn off when you ask them to. The TV bootup takes too long for it to be "off" off.
kissiel··on AMD Introduces Next-Generation AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Processor
AMD writes MB, and they list the faster caches' sizes in KByte, where indeed I think it should be Mi and Ki respectively. And in the NV space (hdds, ssds) a GB means 10^9. Reminds me of DDR vendors telling us that memory runs at 8GHz (8GT/s, 4GHz in reality).
kissiel··on AMD Introduces Next-Generation AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Processor
Most binaries you encounter today fit in this cache. This is what makes AMD's x3d chips so fast in games. And you're off by 8x on the size, it's 104MB.

Bandwidth vs latency is like a pickup vs lambo I guess. And what the tb limits is the bandwidth, if you catch my drift (although lambos are awd and poor at drifting). So the actual performance that matters (the snappiness) is still there.
kissiel··on New Mac Mini with M4
TB5 is 15GB/s. So gen 5 equivalent. I'm not saying there are tb5 enclosures in the wilds, but it's a matter of time. Also if you're bottlenecked by buffered, linear reads and writes so much that there is a difference between 3GB/s and 7GB/s then I envy you. Most of what I choke my desktops and servers with is random IO that wouldn't saturate gen2 :)
kissiel··on New Mac Mini with M4
On a desktop computer it's not as bothersome to have an NVME plugged in to one of the thunderbolt ports.
kissiel··on New Mac Mini with M4
I get 2GB/s+ with a USB4 NVME enclosure. If I buy this, this is where the main storage will be.
kissiel··on New Mac Mini with M4
M4 pro comes with Thunderbolt 5, which means one cable to run 2x 2160p120. And in case of macbooks equipped with TB5, one cable to do 2x high res, high refresh displays + power + plenty of bandwdith for data accessories. Omnomnom.
kissiel··on Show HN: Amine – Prevents you from switching 100s of Browser Tabs
It's like saying "don't be sad" to depressed people. Helping oneself with environment tweaks and tools like this can help make permanent improvements for neurodiverse folks.

What about monitoring every picojoule worth of my activity there?
kissiel··on Ventana’s Unconventional Veyron V1
Kind of a related question: Where can I follow news/tidbits coming from hotchips 2023? Anandtech used to be my go to place, but nowadays calling it anemic would be a compliment...
kissiel··on QEMU 8.0
"Since version 3.0.0, QEMU uses a time based version numbering scheme: major incremented by 1 for the first release of the year minor reset to 0 with every major increment, otherwise incremented by 1 for each release from git master micro always 0 for releases from git master, incremented by 1 for each stable branch release" If I'm reading this right, "master" has more significant part than stable... This feels wrong. What am I missing?

EDIT: wrong thread, sorry.
kissiel··on Swiss to vote on preventing cashless society, pressure group says
1. Not rouble. You could still withdraw RUB. 2. Invading other countries may have not-so-unforeseen-consequences. 3. War renders all kinds of money "just a number" I think.
kissiel··on Recommendations for Japan Travel
I'm 3 days away from my return flight after spending a month in Japan (I'm here for the first time). I regret leaving the cities. Now I'm back in Tokyo and I feel back at home. My trip was: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima, Miyakojima, Tokyo. Miyakojima, except being tropical "paradise-like island" made me _finish_ two games on my phone.
