MS Paint wanted to add the "this is AI" tag on a picture they just resized. OP didn't like that, so they went and downloaded Paint.Net to avoid having to deal with (MS) Paint shenanigans.

Your suspicion could have easily been cleared by reading the paper. If you're short on time: the paper reads a bit dry, but falls in the norm for academic writing. The github repo shows work over months on 2024 (leading up to the relea

If we go by Microsofts 2020 account of 1 billion devices running Windows 10 [0], and assume all those are running some kind of electron app (or multiple?) you easily get your gigawatt by just saving 1 watt across each device (on average). I

Not sure about that, SSDs historically have followed base-2 sizes (think of it as a legacy from their memory-based origins). What does happen in SSDs is that you have overprovisioned models that hide a few % of their total size, so instead

It's at the end, in the "What are the standards units?" section.

Yes, the thought crossed my mind too... But then I tried a private window and it opened, so maybe the other suggestion that the cookies are very long lived is right.

A little bit off topic: but I couldn't even start to read the article because "I reached my article limit" out of I site I never visited before... What are they using to determine how many articles I've read? Opening in

In the ~30 years I've used computers, they've become ~1,000,000 times faster. My daily experience with computers doesn't show it. There's someone out there who took the time to measure UI latency and has shown that, no o

The abstract of OPs link mentions "Processing-Using-DRAM (PUD)" as exactly that, using off the shelf components. I do wonder how they achieve that, I guess fiddling with the controller in ways that are not standard but get the job

No, I just went to search if the topic is mentioned in guidelines (which it is, multiple times). I'd then expect a (good) expert to pick on those breadcrumbs and search on how to do that (if they don't have the skills already). If

The lack of standards falls on the acting part. I ran a quick search and found that SWGDE best practices guides and documents do consider the case for the presence of malware on the digital evidence sources on many different scenarios [1].

That's interesting. A project at work is affected by Windows slow open() calls (wrt to Linux/Mac) but we haven't found a strong solution rather than "avoid open() as much as you can".

As of now 9%. I thought hitting the HN front page could have a much larger impact on this, but it seems that's about it this time.

When I moved some projects from OpenCV 3 to 4 I got a nice speed up pretty much everywhere, some things no speed up at all and some others pretty big. I can't really remember the numbers, but at the moment it was a global 10 to 20% per

Indeed, it's their trademark style. It has also worked great for them.

I thought I might have missed a rename. Microsoft tends to rename things at random times.

I ran a few tests in Windows Terminal. The bomb emoji got width 2, while the motorboat got width 1 and correct aspect ratio, though I didn't quite get to see it properly until I zoomed in like 5x. The family was rendered all as one emo

Is that Windows Terminal, or have they renamed it yet again?

It's also 3.6 times faster, in a world where hardware updates get you 20-ish % improvements per generation.

Today the upper range of RAM in devices is in the hundred-GB. 10 years ago it was about 16GB or so, and making a (probably bad) interpolation I think it wouldn't be crazy to have the upper range in the TB mark in 10 years time. We coul

I'm curious about your view on ONNX. At work we did a few prototypes and it seemed to work well enough for our use cases, and we're moving to it. What is it that we haven't seen yet that gave you trouble? Admittedly we'r

No need to quote you, but GvR himself [0]. That's the Faster CPython initiative, which has been ongoing for about 2 or 3 years I think. 3.11 got some nice speedups from it, and 3.12 is on its way to get more. [1] [0] https:/&#x2F

One other thing. The article states pythons performance at keys-per-second, then all the other numbers are given in keys-per-minute. That means that pythons number looks really small in comparison, but if we take it (500 kps) and multiply i

I've been using a Zen2 notebook for the past few years, and was honestly surprised by the processors performance for the first... 3 or 4 months. Then typical updates happened. And some quirks got in the way too. Like it having a decent

And that's why so far AMDs mobile processors have been monolithic and not chiplet-based. That is supposed to change with Zen 4's Dragon Range, however most of the mobile lineup will still be monolithic and these high-power/hi

Indeed, in this case ESRI is talking about deep-learning based single image superresolution. With multiple images, even something as simple as shift-and-add can recover details (and lower noise in the picture), but you do require having mul

That comes from mimicking Matlabs plotting API, as a way to move people from Matlab into scientific python. "It's a feature not a bug", a bit taken to an extreme. But it was successful.
