Surprisingly no. I'd expect similar performance.

In these designs, the actual memory controller that talks to the RAM is part of an internal fabric, and the fabric link between the core and the memory controller is (technically) your upper limit.

For both Intel and AMD, the size of the fabric link remains constant to the expected performance of the different cores, as the theoretical usage/performance of the load/store units remain otherwise constant in relation, no matter if it is a big core or a little core.

Also, notice: the maximum performance of load-store units is your actual upper limit, period. Some CPUs historically never achieved their maximum theoretical performance because the units were never engaged optimally; sometimes this is because some ports on the load/store units are only accessible from certain instructions (often due to being reserved only for SIMD; this is why memcpy impls often use SSE/AVX, just to exploit this fact).

That said, load-store performance usually approaches that core's L2 theoretical maximum, which is greater than what any core generally can get out of its fabric link. Ergo, fabric link is often governing what you're seeing in situations like this.

On Intel and AMD's clusters, the memory controller serving their respective core cluster designs requires anywhere from 2 to 4 cores saturating their links to reach peak performance. Also, sibling threads on the same core will compete for access to that link, so it isn't merely threads that get you there, but actual core saturation.

On a dummy benchmark like proposed in the linked article, the performance of a single process being piped to another process, either in the situation of "both processes are actually on the same big core, simultaneously hyper-threading", or "two sibling little cores in the same core cluster, being serviced by the same memory controller", the upper limit of performance should approximate optimal usage of memory bandwidth, but in some cases on some architectures this will actually approximate L3 bandwidth (a higher value).

Also, as a side note: little cores aren't little. For a little bit more silicon usage, and a little bit less power usage, two little cores approximate one big core /w two threads optimally executing, even in Intel's surprisingly optimal small core design, but very much true in Zen4c. As in, I could buy a "whoops, all little cores" CPU of sufficient size for my desktop, and still be happy (or, possibly, even happier).

Can you explain a bit more how this worked? The food item harvested energy from the microwave, and modulated the leaked microwaves/transmitted its own signal to hijack nearby bluetooth audio devices to play audio ads?
It's rarely economically feasible to tank in enough water to form an ice runway for heavy aircraft. They will need to rely primarily on heavy snowfall and then prepare that as a hard surface that can bear the pressure load of the aircraft takeoff roll. If there are large wood mills nearby, pykrete reinforcement maybe an option.

And they better plan for EMAS at the end of the usable length of this or that plane is likely to skid off into the woods.

Boats are already loud and extremely disruptive to ecosystems, probably why sea critters are pissed off enough to attack smaller boats in the first place. Cargo ships are already unfathomably loud at 190 decibels, which is comparable to a rocket launch and would rupture human ear drums.

DARPA are funding the Robust Optical Clock Network (ROCkN) program, which aims to create optical atomic clocks with low size, weight, and power (SWaP) that yield timing accuracy and holdover better than GPS atomic clocks and can be used outside a laboratory.

Most of the big cloud providers have deployed the equivalent of the opencompute time card which sources its time from GPS sources but can maintain accurate time in cases of GPS unavailability.

Congrats. That is a project of the future!
One data point, but it was only 2 days ago. I needed a place to quarantine while I was the only one in my family who caught covid on a trip, so I went to the hotel a few blocks away and asked about their rates. They told me that the lowest they could go was $183. I asked why Google showed 6 third-party sites advertising their rooms at $135 and they said those sites reserve rooms in bulk and they aren't normally refundable. So I booked the room with credit card rewards points for about $120/night and everyone was happy.

I always thought that booking direct got the best rates also, but that seems to be incorrect, at least in this case.
I mainly thought you were talking about online ads only but even if I account for things outside I don't really see that much. It's mostly on bus stops and most days I just drive to work and then back home which renders me seeing zero ads on the way. They're not that common where I live.

I dunno—I can use a "real" computer to do geek stuff, but my phone does a whole hell of a lot more that's way, way more important to my everyday life, most of which a "real" computer would be worse at or isn't practically an alternative at all. I'd have to spend money and space (for other electronics) plus a bunch of time to replace what a smartphone does for me. Losing my "real" computers would do me practically no harm, by comparison (assuming we're not counting my employer's computer that they loan me so I can earn a paycheck—gotta have that, sure)

I am a product of the impressions left by massive heaps of copyrighted content. One song on the radio is just a rhetorical device.

If OpenAI rented all humanity’s media from a library and used them to train an AI model then that seems 100% ethical to me.

Now if you ask the model to recite the script to Breaking Bad and it does so perfectly and I think that grants me copyright authority over it then we’re going to have problems. It’s just not the model or tool’s problem.
I know nothing like it ^^ Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you! We have a very strong ethos around democratizing distribution and we plan to be careful not to go down a path to becoming what we hate. We're here to serve developers and users, and we'll look for guidance from our user base constantly. Re "PWA" I can empathize - I've found that for the majority of people, "installable web app" seems to register more effectively, but hoping that "PWA" becomes more broadly understood. Thanks again for the comment, and we look forward to serving you :-)

I'd recommend telling your therapist what you just told us. Put it in words they'll hear: Tell them that you are financially stable and want to set a boundary with them, that they don't push you to find work before you are ready. If they are unable to cooperate with that, let them know that you aren't comfortable continuing with them and want them to refer you to someone else who is a better fit.

Therapists know that it can take some trial and error to match up a patient with the right therapist, so typically you can expect them to be willing to help you move on to someone better matched to your needs.
Thank you! Added to our backlog - will be added soon!
Buy a brother laser printer. Anything that's not a laser printer is not worth it except for very very very specific use cases.

Because of this laser printers are actually profitable to sell. So they don't have to loss leader their income from you.
Windows is dying. Instead of offering this as a free service until it's actually useful enough to make people want to pay for it, they instantly turn to ads. That means that they see no more potential in windows, it's not worth investing into it anymore.

We can simultaneously both blame rapists and have effective safeguarding policy that minimizes the risk of rapists getting access to victims.

As an example, prisons almost always have a policy of sex segregation, with separate estates for each sex. The female prison estate is designated solely for female prisoners, and the male estate solely for the males. This physical separation safeguards the female inmates from male inmates, many of whom are very dangerous and have already raped.

In recent years, a handful of jurisdictions have experimented with allowing some male prisoners in the female prison estate, which resulted in sexual assaults and rapes of women prisoners, and even some pregnancies. The rapist men are to blame of course, but they were enabled in their crimes by a set of horrifying policy changes that put so many vulnerable women at a hugely increased risk.

It's not victim-blaming to point this out and insist that this broken policy be changed.
it's kind of funny because water resonates in that band, international consensus or not?

I think it's safe to assume that AI has to pay for the book as well, sooner or later, as shown in the deals OpenAI has made with content publishers such as AP [0]. The question is how much they should pay.

You don't need a technology-specific therapist, you need a therapist who is accustomed to working with clients who have some wealth. Try the nicer suburbs.

Alternately, you might not need a therapist at all. A monthlong nomadic vacation visiting mountains, canyons, and deserts has a way of resetting the brain. Just throw a duffel bag and hammock or tent in your car and go.

the whole phrase is actually: "Although costs have fallen sharply, the true cost of any project depends on many factors"

further down: "Offshore wind costs have soared 50%", and "these costs are unlikely to revert to prior levels."

then: "Costs for offshore wind have soared largely due to higher turbine prices, which spiked in 2022 after years of declines. We do not expect a return to prior levels, which will keep pressure on offshore wind costs and risk renewable energy targets."

then: "It will be difficult for solar to fill the gap left by higher costs and delays of offshore wind projects as it holds its own risks and issues."

I find IHP well-designed. I just wish the licensing scheme were more transparent.
Suppose it is true, I would like to know what you would do after your account is banned. You are not a part of that contract so you cannot sue the merchant. And credit card company likely won't bother with a lawsuit because there is one person affected by this.
I always find the framing of these discussions very sad.

I'm not sure whether the courts will determine if this is fair use or not. It's a difficult concept to define rigorously. If it's found to be fair, I'm arguing that its effect on work cannot be considered harmful to society in the long term.

"you didn't do most of the work, you just altered it, and then want to claim credit (and legal ownership) for it wholesale" is a good description of all scientific research that has ever occurred.
Depends entirely on the CPU architecture.

That’s a naive ‘what color are my bits’[1] mistake - classic software developer mindset.

Level one programmer naïveté is just ‘bits are bits, it doesn’t matter where they come from. Bitwise identical things are indistinguishable’.

Level 2 naïveté is when you accept that bits have color depending on how they came to be arranged thus, and that there are processes that get rid of the old color on some bits, and replace it with a new one. But then you figure - like a programmer - that if you compose that process with some other process you can get rid of the colors you don’t like.

Enlightenment is realizing that the law cares not one jot for the specific processes you apply to bits or their colors but criminalizes (or at least proscribes) particular actions and cares about things like intent.

> C++ yes, there is no real reason to use C++ anymore outside of big libraries that require it.

Some of us like C++ because it gives us a the freedom to work at the lowest level when we need to, while also giving us plenty of higher level APIs for most day to day situations, while having great compatibility with tons of software that is already out there. It seems we are at peak Rust fanboyism these days. I have nothing against Rust but the idea that Rust has already replaced C++, or will certainly do so in the future, is ludicrous. C++ has a ton of activity in the standards committee and has very interesting developments like cppfront. It is a vibrant community that continues to reinvent itself and in all likelihood is a lot larger than the Rust community.

The 2.4GHz spectrum is shared between Bluetooth and WiFi 802.11b/g. A few years ago, I was doing some work using an Ubertooth-One scanner (https://greatscottgadgets.com/ubertoothone/). It was showing the traffic on different channels.

My wife stuck a burrito to warm up in the microwave a room away (30-40 ft). This was with a brand-name model, so presumably properly shielded, etc.

Nope. The entire spectrum just went white with noise on all channels.

Once the microwave cycle ended, it still took a good 15-30 seconds before the airwaves calmed down and went back to normal traffic.

That's not a fact. All browsers on iOS use the same rendering engine. The differences between them are all in the UI and other front-end features. That doesn't make Safari superior to them, especially since they're all starting off with the same base rendering. Anything outside of that can easily be better than Safari.
Your scenario makes me think of The Lean Startup. It's a book but you can find podcasts, talks, etc. It's worth thoroughly understanding it as it makes it much harder to ship something people don't want, but also pushes you to engage with people earlier so you're co-building. I'm also older :P and this is the biggest idea to change my approach to this game.
Starlink Carbon Footprint 30x Land-Based per User

This is an unpopular opinion, but I think Hacker News would be a worse experience with link previews.

One of the best things about this site, ui-wise, is that it feels "focused".
The focus is not on the links posted but on the text surrounding them, if you want to give a preview for what your link is talking about, you just explain it.

It also encourages less lazy discussion, because the title and pictures don't jump through the link into the current context.

It might not be a bad thing for X in the same way it works well here.
This. About 5 years ago when my wife started her doctoral program, she started printing a ton of resources (and still does). We were constantly buying expensive ink monthly. I did some research and bought her a Brother laser printer for something like $300 and never looked back. You do have to buy toner about once a year, but it’s far more cost effective and efficient. Now if I could somehow convince her to use PDFs instead!
Noted! Thank you for the feedback and the kind words! :-)
You are intentionally ignoring the reason for your initial question about eating meat. Why don't you address that before changing the subject? I'm not going to fall for your bait.

If I answered "yes", you would have called me a hypocrite. But I answered "no", and you are still calling me a hypocrite, even though I said nothing else. So what was the point of your question?
Not necessarily. What enforces that? You can't rely on your attackers to kindly not send traffic to IPs you don't want them to.

I had a Brother brand B&W laser printer with a duplex scanner many years ago. I had it for 10 years and it was still working when my ex took it. As far as I know its still going.

Unfortunately, laser printers are just bigger than inkjet. The paper route is more complicated and the mechanism has to be larger. That's the benefit of inkjet, it's an extremely simple mechanism that can be reduced to a very small footprint.

IMO, laser is better in almost every way. It's well worth the drawbacks.
Sadly there just isn’t enough public domain data. It would mean that it’ll be impossible to catch up to ChatGPT.

One way to see this is to imagine a Midjourney competitor trained solely on public domain images. The visual quality of the model will always be worse.

As for licensing, I agree for commercial entities, but there should be exceptions. If a model is open source, it benefits everyone, and so it shouldn’t need to have been licensed. There are a few reasons why this is pretty important, but the main one is that without it, the open source community has no chance whatsoever of creating cutting edge models.

The microwave became a second class citizen in our kitchen when we got the toaster oven/air fryer combo unit and then was relegated to the garage on top of the fridge. We still use it for popcorn and the occasional hot cocoa and if my coffee gets cold on the weekend I'll wander out there to warm it up. It is almost unneeded.

WiFi is better as a result.
What's a technologist?
But we already have a way to deal with derived work. Reading a bunch of books and then writing with the ideas you learned is perfectly fine. Copying a paragraph without citing it is not. Mimic the style of authors you want to emulate is fine. Passing off their book as your own is not.

If creating an LLM is copyright infringement, then we could say that a human reading a book is copyright infringement.

An interesting construction detail of the cheap modern microwave is that it only operates on one half of the mains electric waveform: microwaves use a single high-voltage diode which acts both as half-wave rectifier and voltage doubler. Thus the magnetron only operates for 10 ms in every 20 ms.

In theory 2.4 GHz communication protocols can easily time their transmissions to fit in the gaps left by the microwave. 50% bandwidth loss but no other effect.

This obviously isn't foolproof in practice, when 2.4 GHz was a thing I remember my WiFi dropping off whenever somebody was nuking some food. But perhaps this might have been a quirk of my Panasonic inverter microwave - which obviously is not the simple standard circuit.
Is there any existing sort implementation that does this? The closest I can think of is stable sorts which aren’t quite what you described.
