Technically nobody knows, because AlphaZero was never made public. In practice, we know Stockfish 19 would destroy it, because it destroys open-source reimplementations of AlphaZero.

I hope app startup times have been improved, at some this regressed massively, from 0.5s to like 2s.

The game was first released in 2001, but released on steam on 2021. Needless to say, most players don't play through steam.

What are you talking about, only Rust actually forces you to handle errors. Go functions merely return a tuple with an error along with the result, with a convention that you must checktror a non-nil error before using the result. Rust ba

ARM could change that in the long term, Apple doesn't own them. It would be a generational fumble by ARM to lose Apple as a customer, though.

Haskell is far more dangerous. It allows you to simple destruct the `Just` variant without a path for the empty case, causing a runtime error if it ever occurs.

I thought this problem was Wayland's reason for existing?

As long as you're willing to stay on some old LTS distro, you'll be fine for at least another 10 years. X isn't going anywhere.

Depends on your definition of "major". Small utility functions are added on nearly every release, but they definitely aren't major.

Rust's standard library hasn't received any major additions since 1.0 in 2015, back when nobody was writing web services in Rust so no one needed logging.

> Or, for $300, you can buy an RTX 5060 that is better than the best GPU from just 6 years ago. It's even faster than the top supercomputer in the world in 2003, one that cost $500 million to build. RTX 5060 is slower than the RTX 2

Rust solves this at compile-time with move semantics, with no runtime overhead. This feature is arguably why Rust exists, it's really useful.

Do you monitor your product closely enough to know that there weren't other brief outages? E.g. something on the scale of unscheduled server restarts, and minute-long network outages?

Idk about subpixel font rendering, but font rendering on Linux looks massively better after a patch last week: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7992#issuecomme...

And that was already impressive. High-end gaming computers with dual-channel DDR5 only reach ~100GB/s of CPU memory bandwidth.

> I wish Apple would take gaming more seriously and make GPTK a first class citizen such as Proton on Linux. Note that games with anticheat don't work on Linux with Proton either. Everything else does, though.

In Norway, power cables have been a top-tier political issue for years. They make electricity more expensive locally, since the surplus power can be exported instead of needing to be dumped for 0 or negative cost.

How close is Redox to being able to run a web browser? I'd love to try doing real work on it.

WASM does not support pthreads in the browser, only web workers, which are much more limited.

Wikipedia give a lower bound for BB(6) of 2^2^2^2^2^2... repeated 33554432 times, that's definitely a fast-growing function!

It's probably from the Lex Friendman podcast he did. And to be fair, he didn't say "it doesn't matter", he said "it's not that important".

There's a reason everyone writes their GUI apps in Electron nowadays. Browser have spent 30 years figuring out fast rendering, it's hard to beat that, even with native code.
