> but to understand why the 9800X3D performs this much better you'd want some metrics on CPU cache misses in the processors tested.

But as far as I can tell the 9600X and the 9800X3D are the same except for the 3D cache and a higher TDP. However they have similar peak extended power (~140W) and I don't see how the different TDP numbers explain the differences between 9600X and 7600X where the is sometimes ahead and other times identical, while the 9800X3D beats both massively regardless.

What other factors could it be besides fewer L3 cache misses that lead to 40+% better performance of the 9800X3D?

> You'd presumably also see large speedups in this case from faster RAM on the same processor.

That was precisely my point. The Zen 5 seems to have a relatively slow memory path. If the M-series has a much better memory path, then the Zen 5 is at a serious disadvantage for memory-bound workloads. Consider local CPU-run LLMs as a prime example. The M-s crushes AMD there.

I found the gaming benchmark interesting because it represented workloads that had workloads that just straddled the cache sizes, and thus showed how good the Zen 5 could be had it had a much better memory subsystem.

I'm happy to be corrected though.

I’m running into this as well.

Might be Claude optimizing for general use cases compared to code and that affecting the code side?

Feels strange, because Claude api isn’t the same as the web tool so I didn’t expect Claude code to be the same.

It might be a case of having to learn to read Claude best practice docs and keep up with them. Normally I’d have Claude read them itself and update an approach to use. Not sure that works as well anymore.

In Sweden we value equality and everyone working. If someone is wealthy enough to have a stay-at-home parent it's their choice to do so, we shouldn't subsidize the rich.

It is good for children to go to a place where they learn to interact with others early. We give 480 days off to the parents to share (90 "mandatory" per parent), then they go to childcare.

Individualism breeds privileged shits, if you want your kid to be one of those then you pay out of your own pocket. We subsidize childcare so everyone can afford to work.

Unpopular opinion these days, but: It should be painful to pull in a dependency. It should require work. It should require scrutiny, and deep understanding of the code you're pulling in. Adding a dependency is such an important decision that can have far reaching effects over your code: performance, security, privacy, quality/defects. You shouldn't be able to casually do it with a single command line.

I wonder how does this handle a modify-rename conflict? e.g. there's a file identified by its name `a` and one client renames it to `b` while another client tries to modify the contents of `a`. Once you replay it in this order does the intent of modifying the contents of what was once `a` remain?

I know you can use some unique persistent ids instead of names, but then you get into issues that two clients create two files with the same name: do you allow both or not? What if they initially create it equal? What if they do so but then they modify it to be different?

>what would stop them from operating the plant with labor from the same illegal pool?

The agreement that if they are allowed to continue, they would pay fines, or agree to hire x amount of American workforce or contribute in other ways monetarily. A.k.a actual negotiation where everyone wins.

> If Hyundai is allowed to employ illegal immigrants in that way, what precedent does that set for other similar plants?

Come to America, build plants however you want, hire American workers, everyone wins.

>why shouldn't locals be upset?

They can be upset all they want. Just don't be surprised when economy keeps on tanking and then finding out that Trump administration DGAF about you, just like the soybean farmers that all voted MAGA who are getting royally screwed by the trade war

Anyone else having serious reliability issues with artifact editing? I find that the artifacts quite often get "stuck", where the LLM is trying to edit the artifact but the state of the artifact does not change. Seems like the LLM is somehow failing in editing the artifact silently, while thinking that it is actually doing the edits. The way to resolve this is to ask Claude to make a new artifact, which then has all the changes Claude thought it was making. But you have to do this relatively often.

No it’s not. People who don’t take child abuse seriously say stuff like that. Michael Jackson is another case of a man who regularly brought up his father’s abuse. These are lifelong scars that show up in everything you do in your life if you don’t face it. Both Elon and MJ engage in drug abuse very late into life. If you stop looking at them as extraordinary humans, and just look at them as ordinary humans, you’ll see that they track the path of many with dark upbringings (they become dysfunctional in some form or another if they don’t face the reality of their journey). They have a veeeery fucked up concept of what human worth is because their caretakers disrespected them.

I beg to disagree. In Switzerland, a lot of emphasis is put on assimilation to a Swiss identity via pre-school and school. Now this eventually raises the bar for parents to raise their kids, but it also acts to Swissify immigrant kids quickly as well (and 25% of the residents in Switzerland are not born as swiss, many of those are refugees from African countries that America has problems dealing with). America's DIY hands off parent-focused system consistently has the worse results of all the world's developed countries, and is proving to be worse than even developing country systems.

If I'm already benefiting from a new boiler, I don't need another new boiler just to get the $5000 tax credit. This is silly. There are benefits to being a working parent vs a stay at home parent and if you have access to stay at home care you simply don't need it.

This is like getting mad that my workplace offers pet insurance when I have no pets so I demand the money anyway. Or demanding a trophy for not participating in a competitive sport.

It would be amazing if an authoritarian government like that in Venezuela could just "facilitate" (such a funny word these days) getting a single convicted murderer into the US and then turn the US into the same kind of authoritarian government.

Whoops, I hope no other country in conflict with the US gets this idea, that pool has expanded significantly lately!

I recall reading about the people who slammed planes into the World Trade Center towers. They were not hell bent on destroying buildings, they were hell bent on destroying society of the US, destroying buildings was just a stepping stone. And, sure seems like they succeeded.

I mean... as someone living in rural-lite, the hospitals in my county are crap; going to a big city nearby is a better choice. I don't know about hospitals in Chicago, and I wouldn't think Gary is big enough to be a hospital magnet, but it doesn't seem that out of the norm. Of course, Mr. Willson ruined Gary for me; I'd die if I went to a hospital there.

Classic 2G stingrays are a lot less complicated, but attempts to secure the IMSI haven't properly been implemented until 5G came around. Even then, the IMSI has been replaced with encryption and temporary identifiers your carrier knows belongs to you, and if law enforcement comes in with a warrant they can get those replacement identifiers from your carrier regardless.

You can't get the IMSIs passively anymore, but LTE doesn't make these attacks impossible, just less practical, especially for criminals that don't have warrants on their side.

> There could be various reasons Trump wants to report bad numbers, such as pressuring the Fed to lower rates, or to establish a horrible baseline from which he can then report improvement on by the midterms.

Trump doesn’t play 3D chess like this, he just doesn’t. This is just him failing to have the iron grip he wants to have over things. Perhaps he’ll fire more civil servants in response, or he’ll get distracted by something else before he can do so.

Their product is advertised as "Managed EDR". That usually means they employ a SOC that will review alerts and then triage and orchestrate responses accordingly. The use case here is when your IT manage chooses to deploy this and give them full visibility into your assets because your company wants to effectively outsource security response.

It's a relatively common model, with MDR and MSSP providers doing similar things. I don't see it as much with EDR providers though.

You don't subsidize the rich, yet you subsidize rich child care corporations (or high-level bureaucrats in the event it is public) at the expense of not subsidizing stay at home moms.

You don't want people paid for taking care of their children, but it's OK if other people are paid for taking care of their chidlren.

None of this makes sense. Especially not this false dichotomy that either you send your kids to daycare or they don't learn to interact with others early.

Terrible. Especially given that the Seattle area has terrible traffic and also issues with safety on public transportation (like many other cities in America). What is the point exactly of getting workers into an office just so they can be on Zoom calls (or Teams, in this case)? This seems a lot like what Amazon was accused of - a way to shake out some workers and get them to quit when they cannot rearrange their life on a whim.

Israel's current birthrate has more to do with the ultra-Orthodox and Arab communities and nothing to do with the kibbutz system. The ultra-Orthodox communities are also exempt from those "excellent contributions even in the military". While female ultra-Orthodox participation in the workforce is around 80%, that's largely due to males not participating (50%).[0]

That seems like an issue of company leadership and culture. There are many remote companies where this isn’t true. I’ve seen comments from Amazon workers talking about they were much more productive in a remote work situation, even though their leader (Andy Jassy) chose to make the company go back to the office 5 days a week with invasive monitoring of how people badge in and out.

There's a number of things going on here, but the short of it is that to become the democratic nominee you need to convince a whole bunch of people, including some super delegates. Hillary Clinton did a better job of this than Bernie Sanders.

How she did it could probably be the subject of an entire book, but no one has ever come up with any particularly scandalous stories about it so far.

Semantic games. At the end of the day if x is prioritized more than y and you want x and y to be equal you do want a relative boost in the priority of y. So fine. As I said I'm not sure they are equivalent or how this specific objection can't be applied to any other tax in a way that feels implausible. Should I get a voucher if I pack my kids lunch? Why are we "prioritizing" commerical food preparation?

After years in academia and research, I'm walking away from my permanent position to build a novel AI system that interact with the physical world.

The future of AI isn't just chatting; it's spatial reasoning and 4D simulation of our physical world to enable the embodiment of AI at scale. That's why today I'm launching Spatialbound: a conversational AI with native spatial reasoning and 4D simulation capabilities built into its core that thinks in 4 dimensions of space and time like humans do and builds a digital twin of the world.

One platform that handles all spatial workflows:

· Generate detailed maps of any location on Earth · Analyse disaster zones in near real-time · Find your perfect home by simulating neighbourhoods · Navigate complex environments like a local expert · Immerse yourself in photorealistic city simulations · Architectural design in real-world cities · And more…

If your job requires acting on live events and understanding global-scale data, Spatialbound Live combines everything by ingesting worldwide data and placing it in an interactive 3D globe. Instead of juggling ArcGIS for specialized maps, Google Maps for navigation, video analytics for geolocated footage, and separate 3D systems for design, we unite them all in one interface.

For gamers: Imagine playing GTA in actual real cities, exploring photorealistic streets and neighbourhoods, or playing SimCity but building your own version of the physical world with actual geographical coordinates.

For emergency responders and councils: Use Spatialbound for emergency training, infrastructure testing, and disaster preparedness. Practice scenarios, test changes, and plan responses using photorealistic simulations of your actual areas.

For architects and urban designers: Skip the tedious 3D modelling of your site, topography mapping, material libraries, and renderer hunting. Design directly in real cities and test your concepts live in photorealistic environments with Spatialbound.

Watch a short sneak peek of the platform below

I think they’re realizing that there is no meaningful competition for these gigantic corporations. They’re worth 4 trillion. They saw Google got away without any consequence on the Chrome anti trust issue. They know they can keep bundling products, building new dark patterns, throwing up walled gardens, loss leading competitors (like Teams did with Slack), and all of that. And I’m sure Satya is currying favor with Trump like the rest of them to keep things that way. When you have such a situation, your company can get away with anything. If there was competition, workers and customers could go elsewhere.

I am running Ollama with 'SimonPu/Qwen3-Coder:30B-Instruct_Q4_K_XL' on a M4 pro MBP with 48 GB of memory.

From Emacs/gptel, it seems pretty fast.

I have never used the proper hosted LLMS, so I don't have a direct comparison. But the above LLM answered coding questions in a handful of seconds.

The cost of memory (and disk) upgrades in apple machines is exorbitant.

> It's easy to blame the teachers unions, but if their goal was to only raise their own salaries and benefits, they are doing a very poor job at it.

They do a pretty good job at it when you factor in long term pensions and health care.

> Teachers do not get paid well.

Teachers get paid too much. They create artificial barriers like requiring multiple years of certifications to purposefully limit the pool of competition. Most teachers unions are closed shops that mandate membership.

> They also tend to get paid more at the elite private schools. So if you want to compare, then you would be advocating for public schools to match private school salaries.

If I could waive a wand to immediately increase public teacher’s salaries by 25% in exchange for the elimination of all tenure (which does not exist at K-12 private schools), I would do it immediately.

> While not always the case, "measuring progress" makes things worse because they tried this and what you get is standardized tests and teachers teaching to the test (Goodhart's law).

There’s plenty of objective things to measure in math and science. If little Johnny can’t do basic arithmetic or solve 3x+2=11, you can’t fake that during an exam.

At least with teaching to the test, the kids learned the material on the test.

If you don’t measure things, you will not improve it. And teachers unions are adamantly against measuring things. Because they know it can and will be used against them. It’s an inherent conflict of interest.

yea, just look at the state of many C projects. it's rather clearly worse in practice in aggregate.

should it be higher friction than npm? probably yes. a permissions system would inherently add a bit (leftpad includes 27 libraries which require permissions "internet" and "sudo", add? [y/N]) which would help a bit I think.

but I'm personally more optimistic about structured code and review signing, e.g. like cargo-crev: https://web.crev.dev/rust-reviews/ . there could be a market around "X group reviewed it and said it's fine", instead of the absolute chaos we have now outside of conservative linux distro packagers. there's practically no sharing of "lgtm" / "omfg no" knowledge at the moment, everyone has to do it themselves all the time and not miss anything or suffer the pain, and/or hope they can get the package manager hosts' attention fast enough.

What I'd like to know is why anyone thinks it's a good idea to have this level of granularity in libraries? Seriously? A library that only contains "a utility function that determines if its argument can be used like an array"? That's a lot of overhead in dependency management, which translates into a lot of cognitive load. Sooner or later, something's going to snap...and something did, here.

"Batteries included" ecosystems are the ultimate defense against the dark arts. Your F100 first party vendor might get it wrong every now and then, but they have so much more to lose than a random 3rd party asshole who decides to deploy malicious packages.

The worst thing I can recall from the enterprisey ecosystems is the log4j exploit, which was easily one of the most attended to security problems I am aware of. Every single beacon was lit for that one. It seems like when an NPM package goes bad, it can take a really long time before someone starts to smell it.

Get in, steal a couple hundred grand, get out, do the exact same thing a few months later. Repeat a few times and you can live worry free until retirement if you know to evade the cops.

Even if you steal other stuff, you're going to need to turn it all into cryptocurrency anyway, and how much is an AWS key really going to bring in.

There are criminals that focus on extracting passwords and password manager databases as well, though they often also end up going after cryptocurrency websites.

There are probably criminals out there biding their time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, silently infiltrating companies through carefully picked dependencies, but those don't get caught as easily as the ones draining cryptocurrency wallets.

> I think that list is probably a decent predictor of what people would respond with if you asked them for the best game in a specific year, but that it would do a much worse job of predicting agreement across all time.

You must have missed the criteria for inclusion that list, which states that games are only eligible if they appear on "all time" best lists, e.g. not just "Best Game of 2017" or "Best PC Games".

> The games are included on at least six separate best-of lists from different publications (inclusive of all time periods, platforms and genres), as chosen by their editorial staff.

i.e. there already is agreement across all time.

Yes, just had it happen a couple nights ago with a simple one pager I asked it to generate from some text in a project. It couldn't edit the existing artifact (I could see it being confused as to why the update wasn't taking in the CoT), so it made a new version for every incremental edit. Which of course means there were other changes too, since it was generating from scratch each time.

They recently resolved two bugs affecting model quality, one of which was in production Aug 5-Sep 4. They also wrote:

Importantly, we never intentionally degrade model quality as a result of demand or other factors, and the issues mentioned above stem from unrelated bugs.

Sibling comments are claiming the opposite, attributing malice where the company itself says it was a screw up. Perhaps we should take Anthropic at its word, and also recognize that model performance will follow a probability distribution even for similar tasks, even without bugs making thing worse.

Thanks for the feedback on not understanding what we sell from the homepage. We sell an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) product that we manage with our 24/7 SOC. To perform the investigations on potentially malicious activity, we can fetch files from the endpoint and review them. We log all of this activity and make it available to our customers. We are an extension of their security team, which means they trust us with this access. We’ve been doing this for more than 10 years and have built up a pretty good reputation, but I can see how that would freak some folks out. We also sell to businesses, so this is something that would be installed on a work computer.
