I love bringing up Pokemon as a humbling example of how AI progress is counterintuitive. Naively we might see games like Go, Chess, StarCraft, and Dota as more "complex," yet current approaches still tend to fail here, a game we w

Was it a salvage title car? A year ago a clean title FRS with 100k miles would still easily pull $10k at auction, so you got a heck of a deal if it didn't come with major defects.

I'm not sure how to reconcile the purported gains with the fact that matrix multiplies are empirically the most heavily accelerated primitive [1] on current-gen hardware and that the "digital ops" shown here aren't even

What is a bit concerning is the speculation that the flight continued to the intended destination in an effort to avoid having the incident captured by cockpit voice recorder (which apparently only have a recording window of 2 hours???!?).

It gets exhausting seeing the same NIMBY talking points trotted around every once in a while. I guess the "new developments are just luxury housing" talking points have started to smell so we're back to the good old "cha

I was recently in a similar boat, as the combination of discord + twitch was really making my 11 year old i5-2520M-based T420 really show its age (WHY IS A DESKTOP CHAT CLIENT AN ELECTRON APP??!??!) even with 16 GiB RAM in Arch Linux. I set

A truly invaluable resource. Many years ago I was searching for the music used in this ancient Tom's Hardware video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1hg1zf7rrY after finding out that many previous Tom's Hardware

I'm genuinely curious of the details of how the 1.5v vCore measurement was obtained. CPU-Z and software measurements in general don't have the greatest reputation of being accurate, especially with just-released generations of CPU

If you can turn whitepaper diagrams and throughput claims into accurate performance estimates in your head, I suggest you embark on a lucrative career path as a world-leading computer architect immediately if you haven't already done s

The most striking thing about the architecture is that it appears so heterogeneous and complex. Considering the vast amount of software/machine learning engineering behind model/data/pipeline parallelism schemes like Megatron

Wow, every time I am even remotely tempted to upgrade from my T420 (from 2011!) Lenovo manages to completely fumble something. ARM Thinkpad X13s? Crickets on Linux support front, not holding my breath on getting something usable anytime soo

Pointless until you veer even the slightest bit from what Spotify is able (cares?) to license. City pop listeners in the states will back me up on this one (it's not even an esoteric genre!) but where's Yamashita, Kadomatsu, or Sa

Ugh, every time I see a device like this (and even the larger Reform) I'm so tempted. But I learned my lesson form-factor wise with the GPD Win Max: even as a travel laptop it's painfully small after about a day or two of use. And

As someone with a rapidly (exponentially?) decaying background in engineering, all the article did was create an insufferable itch of mathematical fuzziness about why these were called zeros until I got to the footnote and the actual articl

Way out of my wheelhouse here but maybe something like emitter-coupled logic that was used in the Cray-1 of similar vintage? Power hungry but allowed the Cray-1 to hit 80 MHz in 1975.

"Unlike a CPU, when a GPU is waiting for data, it can't just switch to work on something else." https://twitter.com/VadimYuryev/status/1514295693581586434 Is this meant to be qualified with (Apple)

A T420 was my daily driver through undergrad, and then collected dust during grad school when I was issued a Macbook. When I returned my Macbook I dusted it off and was surprised by how usable it was (and how usable and well-supported it wa

If you cranked up the maximum swap size, would you theoretically be able to build the kernel? (Is it truly a viable Linux machine if it can't build its own kernel?) What would be the expected build time? Days? Months?

I recently bought a 16GB DDR3 upgrade for my T420, purchased in 2011 from the Lenovo outlet store. Sure the bezels date it instantly and the battery life can't compare to an M1 Macbook, but in many ways it's the last "real&qu

Does this refer to the OS furthest away from what is running the code or the closest? Windows running WSL to support a Linux environment for Python... Windows running a web browser accessing a colab notebook hosted on a Linux machine... mac

I don't understand, disposables commonly used the 35mm film format, which is equivalent to full frame sensor size.
