The Phoronix benchmarks show exactly the expected results.

However, there are some sites where the interpretation of similar results is ridiculous, for instance TechSpot.

On that site, the author complains that e.g. 9700X is faster than 7700X in the multi-threaded benchmarks by only a few percent. Nevertheless, the author fails to mention that 7700X is configured for an 105 W TDP, while 9700X is configured for a 65 W TDP.

For most of the new series, AMD has chosen a default configuration that favors energy efficiency over speed. Therefore, in the default configuration most of the improvements result in a much higher energy efficiency and an only slightly higher speed in multi-threaded benchmarks. The results measured by the reviewer were exactly as expected and the complaints make absolutely no sense.

After that, the reviewer notices that the new series show a lower power consumption by a few tens of watts, but then the reviewer complains that when compared to the entire computer system power consumption that means only around 10%, so it is not impressive.

However, the reviewer fails to point that this computer system includes an RTX 4090, which alone has a power consumption comparable with a couple of normal desktops. The reviewed computer has a power consumption around 500 W, many times greater than a normal desktop computer. Therefore a power saving that would be huge for a normal desktop appears modest for such a behemoth. Again, the complaints are ridiculous.

Moreover, the reviewer fails to notice that in single-threaded benchmarks the new Zen 5 CPUs match or even exceed the fastest Raptor Lake CPUs, despite the latter having much higher clock frequencies. That means that when the faster Zen 5 models will be launched next week, they will beat easily any Intel CPU in single-threaded benchmarks.

These results are excellent, and not a failure, like the weird reviewer concludes.

Moreover, that bad review has not tested the domains where Zen 5 has up to double performance when compared to any previous desktop CPU, like floating-point computations, cryptography or ML/AI. These use cases alone are a good enough reason for upgrades for many of those who use such CPUs for professional purposes and not for games.
For people talking about glass recycling, it's not NEARLY as simple as you might think because of input issues. Along with CoE (Coefficient of Expansion) concerns that may arise depending on the exact input materials, recycling ends up with grit and contaminants in the material, and those end up as inclusions in final products. That might not be a concern for glass blocks, but for anything where you care about the end quality (food containers, large sheets of glass for windows, etc.) inclusions can result in a lot of production loss. It's also not like you can just melt it and let the inclusions float or sink out - molten glass doesn't flow like water, and particles don't just move through it.
>> The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;

True, but it's the "first part" (since GNU runs on top of it) so I call it Linux/GNU.

GNU provides the user space, and a bunch of command line utilities, but that's pretty useless these days without a GUI. So mostly I call it Linux/GNU/Gnome.

I do spend quite a bit of time in a browser though, I mean a machine that can't browse the web is pretty useless. So my friends refer to it as Linux/Gnu/Gnome/Firefox.

Of course to have a good experience in the browser you need an Adblocker. Adblock Plus is the one I use.

I've instructed all the people in the office to call it Linux/Gnu/Gnome/Firefox/AdBlock Plus. Recently though I had to chastise someone for leaving out the word "plus". I mean what are we, Barbarians??

Your comparison of TE to BMW is apt. As is OP’s comparison to Apple.

For those of us who have raced cars on a track, we see the BMW E36 M3 (90s) as the last proper race worthy vehicle. People who drive BMWs now just want a “nice car to drive” and spirited drivers don’t want anything to do with them.

Likewise, people who use TE instruments want to feel like they are making music, even though they are not using the hardware or software conducive to do so.

>10 of the 17 cancer types which are rising in the young cohorts are obesity-related.

This would mean that 40% is non-obesity related which seems...kinda high?

The article has this line:

Is this supported by the study, or a journalistic observation?

Krebs has some respect in the community for things like haveIbeenpwned and his in-depth exploration of various security issues, but it looks like he got this one wrong.
He explicitly expressed that he's taking the knife for the DigiCert failures. There's no need to speculate further than that.
I discovered French drains while trying to dig a hole for a fruit tree a while back. The land was on a hill and about 30cm down I hit this huge pile of dirty gravel. Ok, so maybe someone filled that spot with gravel. Sunk another hole a bit farther down. More gravel, etc. It took me longer than i'd like to admit to figure it out.

Turns out it was the main drainage for the whole neighborhood. Heh. Moved my tree to the side and it thrived on all that lovely water.
I'm not saying other social animals have some kind of abstract understanding to death, but that they very, most, extremely, likely have an innate response to seeing dead members of their "pack" or other social structure. And if so, it would be very strange if humans did not have it too.

You may believe it is not so, but maybe you now understand my position?
> Grief is the anguish experienced after significant loss, usually the death of a beloved person. Grief often includes physiological distress, separation anxiety, confusion, yearning, obsessive dwelling on the past, and apprehension about the future.

-- https://www.apa.org/topics/grief

That seems to describe the behavior people have seen cats display after the loss of someone or another animal in their homes. Maybe they don't know it's death, but they know it's a loss and exhibit signs of distress, anxiety, and confusion. We can't really ask them to find out if they're dwelling on the past or apprehensive about the future though.

This made me think of a question I've had for a bit now.

What is the cheapest way to get a grid of buttons that wires into a laptop (mac if it matters) to play sound effects? My wife is a teacher and would really enjoy hitting a button and getting some dumb sound effect to play. But it's just a lark, so it's not worth too much $ invested.

To offer a second opinion, the Cray-1 was the only thing I found cool about the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. It was otherwise just a like a big website, the history was all dead. In contrast the National Museum of Computing next to Bletchley Had lots of computers turned on, with enthusiast volunteers demonstrating and explaining things. You could punch paper tape and feed it to the Dekatron and see the memory changing as the program ran, or poke at magnetic core memory sheets and someone was right there to discuss all the old tech.

In grad school, one of my profs said something to the effect of, "We expect you to aggressively eradicate any ignorance you have on the whatever papers we assign to you before lecture."

Then we were Socratically interrogated in lecture. For me, it was a great way to learn, even if I'm not remotely in the class of Fermi and Lee.
i dont know to what degree they do or don't understand death, but i definitely wouldn't be surprised to learn that they do. rats certainly do, and i can't imagine it's a huge leap between them.

actually now that i think about it, having owned plenty of both as pets, cats are definitely a lot dumber than rats so now i'm definitely not sure.

I'd be fairly surprised if most (say 75+%) GA airplanes regularly used for purposeful travel lack a moving map GPS and fuel-flow enabled engine monitor. (The moving map is probably well over 90% and it's the engine monitor equipment rate that may drag it down.)

In every airplane I've been in that is equipped with both of those, the pilot has access to both projected* fuel remaining at destination (in minutes and in gallons), has an ability to get a warning if configurable thresholds are violated, and with just the moving map GPS to have a filtered (usually by minimum length, paved vs soft, and sometimes lit vs unlit) and to have the nearest ("NRST") button present a list of airports, distance, and direction with a single button push.

There are things that could be done to make it better, but I wonder if you're imagining a lower/lesser level of equipment in typical GA traveling aircraft than is currently the case. (To the extent that equipment is already installed that provides 90-95% of the proposed functionality, providing that last 5-10% probably isn't going to be the missing piece of the puzzle.)

* Based on current groundspeed.
Yeah that has me a little spooked too. Ideally want a 4K HDR gaming setup...that means fancy monitor and fancy GPU...equals many thousands cost
> It’s deflationary by design

How is that so? I know that the maximum nr of BitCoins is limited and that generating new ones is designed to become more difficult over time. But how does that make them deflationary?
I would say that as long as the supply of BitCoins will increase, however slightly, BitCoins are in principle inflationary? The only reason for its value going up would be that demand increases more than BitCoin supply, but increasing demand is in no way guaranteed by design.

Show HN: Campsite – Posts, calls, docs, and chat in one app
I'm the co-founder of Campsite.

We were tired of constant app switching, notification hunting, and team conversations getting lost in the void. The modern comms toolkit has become way too scattered for companies: docs in one app, calls in another, posts and chat in another, and everyone ends up copy-pasting links all over the place and fiddling with permissions to make sure people can see the right things.

Campsite is a reflection of how we think teams should communicate:

posts are threaded by default, async friendly, topical, and have nested comments for structured discussions

calls can be recorded, summarized, and shared, so it's really easy to socialize meeting notes or customer conversations

docs are collaborative documents with slash commands and beautiful formatting. We removed the headache of organizing infinitely nested pages or blocks that make typing feel slow and clunky

chat is for everything in between; our chat feels ephemeral, and we've seen this design decision guide teams towards using posts + docs more often to keep internal communication transparent

We’ve managed to simplify our company’s communication toolkit down to Campsite — we ditched Notion, Slack, and Zoom in the last few months as we shipped our own version of those capabilities.

There's a lot more to show, but for now, you can try Campsite for free.

I'm around to answer questions and address feedback; the team collaboration space is super competitive, and there are lots of options for people, but we think we're on the right track with early customers and will keep iterating as we learn more.
Your point about Firefox not handling the Microsoft teams meeting is interesting as I have found that google meet video calls do not work well or at all on Firefox the last time I checked. my best guess is that this is Google trying to entrench their browser.
>I very much doubt cats understand the concept of death and can "grieve,"

You're putting a lot of weight with the philosophical definitions of grieve and death for a cat. Yeah, it's probably not the same understanding as a human, as a social animal it's probably not the no understanding at all either.

The article is like "cats react to death like they understand what it is" and you're ambiguously insinuating that they don't without defining your terms or actually adding any substance.

"Cats might understand death but not the same way I do" is both obvious and probable and not particularly interesting.
You don't want to pack them too tight for heating/cooling reasons; it was never intended to be 'compact'. Plus, you'd loose the cool factor of having a Cray in your datacenter to show off to visitors.

That's not a statement of fact, it's a tautology.

You are responding to an interesting statement that unpacks to "Economically high-performing musicians are more a product of industry effort than an indicator of technical skill ("good at music"); You will find abundant technical skill distributed widely in economically unproductive musicians."

You're staking out a semantic position, to wit: "technical measures of musical prowess are not valid, and I refuse to use the word 'good' to describe high rankings in those measures. The only meaningful metric of worth is economic productivity. Therefore, a tautology: Economically productive musicians are economically productive". This is a reasonable semantic usage, but is a less interesting statement.

Out of curiosity, did the surviving cat have a chance to see (and smell) the remains of the dead cat ? I know it's often advised to show to pets (cats and dogs at least) the remains of any human or other pets that die, so that they understand what happened and don't interpret this as "abandonment".

Similarly, families of people that disappear are often "relieved" when a body is found, since they can properly start to grief instead of clinging on some hopeless dream that their loved one might reappear out of thin air.
> Uncooked chicken? I'll just push it to the side and eat the rest.

Really? You're not just being facetious?

I NEVER send food back if I just don't like it. If it's under-seasoned or not up to my standards, no big deal. I'll go elsewhere next time.

But if it's a food safety issue, or if I order something pricey and it's missing a key ingredient (they don't have to take it back in that case, just bring that ingredient to the table and we're good). I mean, if you paid for it and you can't eat it because it's unsafe or you didn't get what you paid for ... that should be totally understandable and expected that it gets sent back. I've worked in food service and while I would never spit on anyone's food no matter how much of a dick they are, I wouldn't even feel the temptation if it was a legit kitchen screw-up.
A fever "appears to diminish viral replication". Viruses are the pathogens we mostly deal with. So I tend to avoid NSAIDS for the most part. One other point, sometimes you have a mild elevated temperature that is not considered a fever and don't realize it. 98.6 F/37 C is outdated and is usually higher than normal for most people. If I have a 98.6 reading, I am probably sick. Sub 98.0 is more normal for me, depending on time of day.

There's telesales and telemarketing. In sales you close deals which requires skills. There's very few actual sales people in the market today, most just end up in this role because they can't get another job and then simply do manual marketing (adding people on linkedin, sending out cold emails, talking to non decision makers). Some are lucky to work in a company with great product and even there I see them slow down momentum. In fact I've seen a few startups miss their chance because they hired fake sales people early on.
I would be very very surprised if this were just limited to cats and dogs. If you've ever seen previously factory-farmed pigs, cows, and sheep there is just so much joy and care in them. Our relationship with animals needs to be heavily reevaluated.
