Grossly underpowered compared to a fat stonking GPU, yes. But the whole BeagleY-AI board probably consumes less power at full tilt than just the fans to keep a modern 2-slot NVIDIA GPU cool.

For embedded applications, the C7x DSPs are mighty. Lots of existing C6x DSP code can easily be recompiled to target the C7x with minimal effort as well, which is a big deal. Making your C6x code work efficiently on the C7x may require more than just a recompile, but being able to leverage existing C6x DSP codebases with minimal investment while getting the extra performance of the C7x is a very big deal.

I don't think a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 with a pair of C7x DSPs is trying to compete with an NVIDIA Hopper. But if you're making a $100 embedded product that has to handle video, this seems quite attractive.
It just dawns to me that "complaining about the style or minor usability of the website" is a type of bike shedding that happens regularly in hacker news.

Instead of contributing to the discussion related to the post, it's easier to just go "the website sucks."

It's not just using a 4K monitor. It's very difficult to read on mobile as well (and even harder to change properties there, short of reader mode).

I’m still waiting for a similar reckoning over the average JS project’s tendency to pull in hundreds of largely unvetted transitive dependencies. But, aside from left-pad, it seems not to have really happened…at least that we know of.
Deciding Between News, Tech, and Travel Blogging for Revenue Maximization
So, I recently bought a domain that is pretty good and catchy. Now, I want to develop a website, but I have a few suggestions needed:

1. Should I go for a news portal site or
2. Tech blogs/news or
3. Travel blogs

Actually, I am kind of fit for all of these three aspects. However, I am pretty unsure about which will generate more revenue and insights, or which kind of genre people spend more time on and retain.

This is solely for revenue or income generation purposes, no frills or distractions. I will focus this website solely on money-minded purposes.
IIRC FAT32 supported larger sectors in part for future proofing. It was made because of storage length limits on its predecessor so it makes sense that the devs were very conscious of the need.

Also some storage systems are more efficient speed-wise with larger sectors (though if that was a concern for you, you probably weren't using FAT<anything>). It also made switching between 16 & 32 in-place easier, though I can think of a reason off the top of my head why you would want/need to, and none of the standard tooling could do that.

Interesting. I would like start off on an updated literature adventure. Do you have a link to a review article, especially one that talks about the different distributions?
You could try https://electriclingua.de/es/index.html
They're more like interpretative theories than scientific theories. Different kind of thing. Their validity is in that they seem to pattern-match to a lot of experience, so the only test is really "do they ring true?"; there's not a sense in which they would be scientifically testable.

(well- I should say, this is how I feel about how the high-level impression of Girard's ideas, like the notion of mimetic desire in this article. I haven't read him so I dunno about his actual takes; maybe they're more concrete and therefore falsifiable. For instance the actually detailed scapegoat theory, which I have heard about elsewhere, seems obviously silly to me.)
I've tried running OPENSTEP 4.0 in VirtualBox (on MacOS) and the mouse performance really jerky, even on the slowest speed. I ran this version and it was pretty much the same thing, even with 3.3. Is this typical?
You're right but this is such a prominent, ongoing conversation that I feel the burden is on the dissenter to show the very obvious and widely publicized facts are not accurate. We have a huge emissions problem and the tech industry is currently heavily promoting technologies with doubtful value propositions and very real and very significant increase in energy demands.
We deploy our services on every merge (multiple times a day) from CI assuming the tests pass. But we don’t re-create our Kubernetes infra when we do that. I set up 3 Kubernetes clusters (staging, prod, internal apps) when I went full-time and have barely touched them other than to apply updates.

> does that cause any problems for you?

Nope. Our Kubernetes setup is just about as simple as it is possible to have a Kubernetes setup. I entertained the idea of going with something else, because we definitely don’t need all Kubernetes has to offer. But I settled on it because it’s what I know best and the overhead+risk of something new would have exceeded the cost of the unnecessary for us baggage that Kubernetes brings.

If our requirements were different or if I was making regular changes, we would be in a very different spot. But as it stands today it is just not a priority.

Dictionary substitution is so much closer to symbolic AI than to what LLM are that I don't think it can serve as an example for the "hallucination" wording. In an expert system, if a rule is wrong or inadequate it's clearly a bug. Just not a bug in the rule engine but in the rules.

But in an LLM, there are no explicit rules (or only in some obscure background layers), it's all statistics. Statistics stacked on top of more statistics in a fascinating self-stabilizing way, where each guess provides some support to its peers, like how the weak paper slabs support each other in a house of cards. But it's statistical guesswork all the way down. Even the most correct answers are merely statistics playing out favorably in a case that may or may not have been very easy to get right.

Hey, author here. I'm in central Kentucky. There aren't a lot of in-person developer jobs in my area, and I ended up applying only for remote roles. I've added that to my post.
Helpful honest post :) And a useful warning to others :) Hopefully helpful to the OP to write this and get some responses. To play devil's advocate, some people worked BOTH hard and smart, and probably don't regret it, and the rest of us certainly appreciate them. Some random musical examples - Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, Doc Severinsen. Or a Comp Sci example - Alan Kay. Is the moral therefore a more nuanced, "work hard but not along the wrong path for too long"?
Yet another carbon capture money machine. Yipee!

From the article:

"Many ocean scientists remain deeply skeptical of marine geoengineering. At a meeting of the International Maritime Organization last October, dozens of governments called for deferring marine geoengineering, including ocean-alkalinity enhancement, over concerns about “deleterious effects that are widespread, long-lasting, or severe.”"

There is no universal cure for cancer, but most of them can be starved out. Carbohydrates are fuel for cancer avoid them on all cost.

Honestly I used to think the same way about JS, because not having types allowed for very concise code sometimes.
But the more I used Swift I realized how powerful type inference can be, and the difference in conciseness shrunk to basically nothing.
> Reading the documentation, "this is a clone of MS-DOS" turns out to be quite a misleading summary of what this is.

Not a "clone" in the sense of 100% compatible... but a "clone" in the sense of borrowing a significant degree of ideas and APIs/syntax from it, yet also deviating at various points (whether for good reasons or for idiosyncratic ones)

It is a clone more in the sense that the Japanese mainframe operating systems Fujitsu MSP and Hitachi VOS3 are/were clones of IBM MVS: they started out as a direct copy of MVS–due to IBM having released earlier versions into the public domain, and Fujitsu/Hitachi illegally stealing the IP of later ones–but over time diverged in incompatible directions

I don't think it is a minor annoyance. It is indeed very hard to read.
The "Oh, well everyone has a little bit of ADHD..." opinion seems to be fairly popular, perhaps due to the increasing ubiquity of digital distractions we all encounter daily, but reading just a small amount of actual research led me to the conclusion that this is completely misguided and "real" ADHD (whatever that is) has likely left a significant amount of its victims dead, in prison, or terminally drug-addicted.

One simple example that supports this conclusion can be found in driving (the most dangerous routine activity most people engage in?), where stimulant medication significantly improves outcomes for those with ADHD. I don't have specific links handy, but a simple Google search (https://www.google.com/search?q=adhd+medication+driving+safe...) will offer ample confirmation.

Reading all these comments I just keep thinking it's all a matter of priorities. If you really want to do something, the sooner you do it the better. Responsibly, of course.

What "responsibly" means in any case might also be influenced by your priorities. For instance, a lot of people say "We're not financially ready to have kids" but they really mean "We can't keep up the fancy holiday trips if we add a kid". If your priority is to have a family, you might cut on holidays and have the kid.

That applies to some, even plenty, of cases, but I acknowledge that not for all. At least where I'm from, it often feels everything is set up to make it difficult for people to build a family.
It would be a very significant improvement to have tagged unions in the language.

DECT is awesome for wireless business headsets. Further range, clarity and less interference compared to BT.
How? NPUs are going to be included in every PC in 2025. The only differentiators will be how much SRAM and memory bandwidth you have or whether you use processing in memory or not. AMD is already shipping APUs with 16 TOPS or 4 TFLOPS (bfloat16) and that is more than enough for inference considering the limited memory bandwidth. Strix Halo will have around 12 TFLOPS (bfloat16) and four memory channels.

llama.cpp already supports 4 bit quantization. They unpack the quantization back to bfloat16 at runtime for better accuracy. The best use case for an FPGA I have seen so far was to pair it with SK Hynix's AI GDDR and even that could be replaced by an even cheaper inference chip specializing in multi board communication and as many memory channels as possible.
Many nervous system behaviours do appear to be passed through genetics - for example, the ability to breathe, the reflex to avoid pain, etc.

I suspect in the future we might find mechanisms beyond simple natural selection that allowed those mechanisms to get encoded in genetics.

Hacker News has no shortage of resourceful people that can silently handle the issue by themselves (the first comment even said themselves that they could simply use Reader Mode!). But the main point of my reply is: look at the number of replies that focus on the style of the website, and compare that to the number of replies that focus on the point of the post/article.
The biggest sin of Apple's business is the fact that no new platform can be built inside the iOS platform. When Windows got extremely high market share and solidified Microsoft's dominance over the desktop OS market, the web browser gave a chance for new companies to emerge to build on top of the desktop OS paradigm, like Google Search and Amazon. Now, no new platform can be built off of iOS because Apple doesn't allow alternate App Stores and Safari is crippled. You can't create a whacky app because Apple will most likely reject it however they see fit The Apple walled garden is basically a black hole and Apple sucks all the energy to themselves. Nothing can escape it.
For a start, they have their own ideas of raising kids. This is already an everyday headache.

Oh the article misses one of the best bits about his lifestyle.

The man run what essentially was a beautiful scam on churches. He was comissioned to paint saint and virgins. He would use local prostitutes as models (it is mentioned in the article he was condemed for the murder of a pimp). So when the paintings were presented to the church, the locals (and sometimes even the priests) would recognise the models and there would be some uproar of using the likeness of a streetwalker to paint the virgin mary. So the painting would get removed and most of the time a private owner (sometimes higher ups in the church) would buy them for their personal collection. Too scandalous for the public, but perfect for my own palace.

There was a very famous incident of this where he painted Mary's death. Usually this is a very holy moment in Christianity and it's painted as such. Caravaggio did not. He painted it in a dirty tent, in a very human way with her passing away. This was Strike One. Secondly he modeled the death after a famous body that was retrived from the river in Rome, a girl had drowned and tons of people had seen her lifeless body be pulled out of the water, and they could now see that same girl being virgin mary. Strike Two. And the last strike was that the woman was not any girl, but one of the most famous prostitutes of the city and one seen very regularly with Caravaggio. Painting your ex gf prostitute who died unceremonoiously drowned as the holyest figure outside of christ was a big issue at the time.

The painting however is still gorgeous and would urge anyone travelling to Paris (in the Louvre) to go see it. Not as "another virgin" painting, which you will find infinite Madonna paintings in Europe. But as one of the first paintings not sanctifying her death and as a sad goodbye from Caravaggio to someone important to him

"At the end of the Constitutional Convention, George Washington said, "I do not expect the Constitution to last for more than 20 years." Today, the United States has the oldest written constitution in the world."

If anything what the country has achieved over the years is pretty darn good. For a large part of its existence, the US also wasn't this super power that we know of today. The future is unwritten but maybe we will see an isolated US that is left to tend to only its own internal issues.
Anyone here feeling qualified to answer the question in the title?

The article describes various aspects, such as that the new DECT version uses modulation and other mechanisms also present in cellular NR/5G, which sounds like a big step forward but, at the same time, no difference in user experience either. The networks get more secure and efficient by the sound of this vendor publication, but is there any user-visible chance? Or are the under-the-hood changes "a big deal" as they put it?
Christ. They’re going to get away with it.
Even C/C++ have the internal/external mismatch:

Yes, good points.

It’s worth remembering that the surviving CISC architectures (x86 and z/370) are less CISCy than VAX and 68k were, in terms of number of address operands and complexity of addressing modes. And ARM is not a classically RISCy RISC. Instruction sets seem to have converged on a pragmatic middle ground — except for RISCV :-)
Addressing Visibility Challenges with TLS 1.3 Within the Enterprise
I'm not too knowledgable in this space, so my main questions are what are the advantages of DECT-2020 NR over something like LoRA (which I understand has license problems), zigbee, or 802.11ah (which is rarer but has less of a license issue)?

Why is this part of the 5G spec?
