We went as far as we could on GCP before PlanetScale. Spanner is amazing but also amazingly expensive. And CloudSQL, also amazing as long as you don’t need write scaling. PlanetScale (Vitess+MySQL plus their branching / deployment and

That is what the “regular” PlanetScale is all about. It uses the Vitess open source project to do write scaling through shading. It is very powerful and customizable and stable. It was built to run YouTube. Former happy user here.

Has OpenAI made any assurances that customer workloads will not result in agents posting on the internet?

Probably true but they might have a better hinge, i.e. crease takes longer to appear due to superior folded geometry.

Agreed. Note, that is at ~50% gross margin and ~15% profit margin which I guess is pretty typical of computer hardware vendors.

I'm still on 1P7 (personal, not team) and still using Dropbox for sync. Hope it never breaks. Never wanted to research the new 1P8 server sync model. Of course I saw that nasty Dropbox unverified IdP account takeover disclosure, so may

Apple is rumored to have released updated models of the Mac Mini and Mac Studio "off-schedule" in part to respond to unexpected local-model driven demand. Hopefully they will invest more in the software side.

I think the "speed" is because this change probably just shows up in Google by virtue of changes propagating in the GNIS feed [1]. It showed up in the feed Aug 27th with a note on the executive order [2]. [1] https://ww

Yes, the "neural accelerators" in the M5 GPU cores really do 4x pre-fill performance over M4. You can find benchmarks online since M5 has been out for months now. I assume the M6 has whatever the next-gen version of those is. Thes

Look at the "Q4_0 Prompt" column. That's the tokens-per-second processing the initial prompt/system prompt. This is where the "neural accelerators inside each GPU core" is seen most prominently.

by tedd4u 22d ago
Agreed, seems like the M5 has already made steps in that direction, with 4x prompt processing / prefill performance vs. M4. [1] And token generation also got a 10% boost. The data below is only for Pro & Max but I think the base M

Regarding the $25 price per GB RAM. These chips use LPDDR5X RAM. Looking at the Framework site, they are selling LPDDR5X LPCAMM2 modules for the following prices: 16GB $239 - $15/GB 32GB $800 - $25/GB 64GB $1,60

by tedd4u 22d ago
The RAM in the M5 is LPDDR5X, not HBM. You're right of course that it's unified and used as VRAM in that sense.

by tedd4u 22d ago
Look, they are offsetting RAM-driven price increases: "In the U.S., pricing is now set at $9, down from $19 for the previous version of the cloth."
