FYI AMD's PSP does not connect to the internet like Intel's ME does.

EF Core heavily relies on reflection so that's not really a surprise. F# not working surprised me but apparently the main thing is its `printf` depends on reflection. By "the GUI frameworks" I assume you mean Microsoft's

Because it wouldn't soften the blow. Swap benefits the most from improved latency not bandwidth. Data is moved from swap back to physical RAM when swapped out pages are accessed by software (which stalls the thread). The kernel has l

I'm not saying to avoid swap. It is great at what it was designed to do. I only take issue with optimizing swap for bandwidth when it will never be able to keep up with RAM bandwidth. The MacBook Neo for example has 60 GB/s of RAM

It helps with performance by allowing your system to have more free physical RAM. And by free I mean for caches. It does this by moving data from inactive pages out of physical RAM. You shouldn't care about the peak bandwidth of zram v

If you care about performance you shouldn't be running from swap period. Swap is just a safety net.

But the possibility of AOT compilation is what drives libraries to support it. That's why .NET libraries are adapting over time to support AOT.

I experienced the same issues but went the other way and migrated from React Native to React. Still one codebase but none of the issues. Performance was better too even though half the code stayed the same.

by Rohansi 6d ago
You get all of those, to some extent, if you use React Native. You still need to do reviews for significant changes due to app store rules but you can OTA update most changes without waiting on a review. Even web support is there. There are

There's a wide range of what people find acceptable. I think v12 was the last I tried on HW3 and it was bad. Inching into oncoming traffic trying to do left turns, extremely sudden and sharp lane changes, lots of interventions required

For any doubters: using a 2025 model is a key detail here. It's the latest hardware version of the self driving computer. The older cars on the road are stuck with significantly worse FSD software because the hardware is far too weak.

It will also increase power consumption because your CPU has to do more work to run the same code.

For sure, but scaling vertically to that extreme is also unnecessary for the vast majority of systems. You can still have over a hundred cores without needing NUMA. And most systems will never even need that much.

It is a lot worse now. They're a bit lower on AliExpress but you need to shop around a bit and check similar SoCs. Here's an Intel N95 with 16GB RAM on Amazon for $297 right now: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0FZS

While I think the tech is cool, and I'm sure it is fast, the fact that the benchmarks make assumptions about your stack doesn't sit right with me. They even admit that it is the main contributor to its speed: > The most signifi

Could also get ESP32 instead of Arduino. Just as cheap, way more powerful, and has WiFi+BT included. Even more reasons to not get a RPi.

It's less weird when you understand that the SoC it uses was built for use in smartphones. The Ethernet port on equivalent Raspberry Pi (non-Zero) models is actually just a USB adapter. Built-in Ethernet support only comes with the Ras

That's not what's hard to understand. It's choosing to exclusively use iMessage knowing that not everyone can use it. And then shifting your social circle based on one company's decision to not support it on other platfo

RCS messages still show as green bubbles. I'm sure kids will still be bullied for it even if group chats didn't degrade. All of these problems could be avoided if iMessage was cross-platform or if people just used something else.

> I’ve gotten my close friends onto Signal but there are still always 3-4 group chats where that isn’t possible. I'm sure it's possible for them to use Signal but some people are unreasonably stubborn.

Yes, I am saying time dilation is a necessary compromise because of that.

Green bubbles, WhatsApp, Signal, etc. are not an option for a lot of people. I don't get it either.

Switching away from Python would not fix this. EVE Online runs its world without instancing or shards, meaning you cannot scale out the simulation when a single zone is overcrowded. Pretty much every other online game avoids this problem by
