That’s interesting because I would’ve thought having strong local compute was the old way of thinking. I run huge jobs that consume very large amounts of compute. But the machines doing the work aren’t even in the same state I’m in. Then

If your goal is to sell more MBPs (and this is marketing presentation) then, judging by the number of comments that have the phrase "my M1" and the top comment, it seems like M1 vs M4 is the right comparison to make. Too many pe

I just assumed they were running one of the many "Office Productivity" benchmarks that are possible. For example: https://support.benchmarks.ul.com/support/solutions/articles...

My guess is the only reason to open and upgrade a computer is if one needs (or wants) to be on the bleeding edge of what local compute is capable of on a day to day basis. With the advent of cloud compute the number of use cases that meet

I agree the overall math is easier in the frequency domain, especially because you don’t know which frequencies are problematic so best to look at all of them, but I think the concept is best explained at first, in the time domain. Here’s m

As someone who makes HW for a living, please do make more Rube Goldberg machines of black box LLMs. At least for a few more years until my kids are out of college. :)

You probably did dodge a bullet. The correct answer to every engineering question is "it depends". :)

Depends. If the competing universities degrade into glorified coding boot camps they’ll probably get thier lunch eaten in turn. And graduates need to be getting reasonable job offers as well.

I suppose, but the 3D printer requires consumable inputs. So without active shipping that printer is going to have a very limited lifetime. There’s always a corner case, like having to 3D print on Mars or something, but thats a niche of a

It is a bit unfair though as one is comparing new MCU to ancient parts. For example the TLV9301 is a updated version on the 741 and is superior in basically every possible spec, but people still use the 741 out of habit. And if you need a

I think it's more that the 555 is basically the heart of hysteretic controller in a box, but it doesn't have the other stuff you need. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang–bang_control There's still plenty

This trick is used a ton when doing hand calculation in engineering as well. It can save a lot of work. You're going to have tolerance on the result anyway, so what's a little more error. :)

Depends on where the worker is in the supply chain. For example: https://www.cato.org/blog/how-american-steel-protectionism-h... "Numerous economic analyses have shown that these measures raise domestic steel pri

mips64!? That's a blast from the past. It must be some kind of legacy hw that's getting current software updates in some kind of really niche use case. Or academia. :) Like previous you, I have to admit I'm skeptical but wo

you’re not wrong. But on the other hand, there are events like this. https://www.npr.org/2022/01/03/1069974416/texas-winter-storm... So at least sometimes, it is life or death.

Apparently they are a thing. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2024/05/09/shotgu... If attack drones can move like racing drones, that’s going to be a hard shot to pull off though

Putting aside whatever "true sustainability" means, it's unlikely that it's a money thing. It's probably more related to the efficiency of individuals in organizations as they grow, and Apple is already quite large

Obsolete doesn't mean that the computer needs to be thrown away immediately. It means that Apple will no long allocate a portion of its finite software resources towards this machine. Also, keep in mind that even if Apple did continue

It’s more like no one outside of Google has been able to reproduce Google’s results. And not for lack of trying. So if you’re outside of Google, at this moment, it’s vapor.

You guys have to define “fast”. After all, speed is relative. :)

On the other hand, pretty much anything manufactured after the year 2000 only lasts like 5 years...
