RP1 I/O chip on RPi5 has so many high-speed interfaces. I've been thinking RP2350 could be some smart I/O chip for a PC/notebook/network attached computers (with only 1 necessary high-speed connection).
At least here in the US, I can say one of the last things we need is more people in jail or prison.
When a common word from another language is borrowed into English, it tends to take on a more specific meaning. Most native English speakers wouldn't use "salsa" to describe any other sauce. Horno oven sounds perfectly reasonable in English to specifically describe an earth oven in that style, not the common household appliance.

EDIT: Probably the reason this happens is that most English speakers wouldn't be familiar with the foreign word, so the speaker uses it as a modifier to the standard English word. The listener doesn't need to know anything specific about the foreign word in that case and can just assume it's a type of the common item.

I got very little speed-up on pypy from being in a function (0.043 vs 0.033), but I got a 1.8X speed-up for py2 vs py3 (0.7686/.4322 = 1.78). (All programs emit 4999874750 as expected.)

EDIT: This uses a Nim program https://github.com/c-blake/bu/blob/main/doc/ru.md run as `ru -t`, but for the very fast variants you can get a more precise wall time from https://github.com/c-blake/bu/blob/main/doc/tim.md

I recall when Python3 was first going through its growing pains in the mid noughties that promises of eventually clawing back performance. This clawback now seems to have been a fantasy (or perhaps they have just piled on so many new features that they clawed back and then regressed?).

Anyway, Nim is even faster than PyPy and uses less memory than either version of CPython:

doIt.nim:

proc doIt() =
var i = 10000000
var r = 0
while i > 0:
i = i - 1
r += min(i, 500)
echo r
doIt()
#TM 0.024735 wall 0.024743 usr 0.000000 sys 100.0% 1.504 mxRM

In terms of "how Python-like is Nim", all I did was change `def` to `proc` and add the 2 `var`s and change `print` -> `echo`. { EDIT: though if you love Py print(), there is always https://github.com/c-blake/cligen/blob/master/cligen/print.n... or some other roll-your-own idea. Then instead of py2/py3 print x,y vs print(x,y) you can actually do either one in Nim since its call syntax is so flexible. }

It is perhaps noteworthy that, if the values are realized in some kind of array rather than generated by a loop, that modern CPUs can do this kind of calculation well with SIMD and compilers like gcc can even recognize the constructs and auto-vectorize. Of course, needing to load data costs memory bandwidth which may not be great compared to SIMD instruction throughput at scales past 80 MiB as in this problem.

> That works in your situation, but not for most people who don't want to have to maintain a moving part. Also hosting in general on a residential connection can depend on the provider and even availability of good internet.

Frankly, that works for the majority of XMPP users -- let's not forget about that. But yes, this is a problem today for many consumers. However, I see this as a much better direction for the Internet as a whole to take -- see efforts such as ownCloud and the like -- , rather than just conceding defeat and accepting a centralized Internet, or worse: the extremely dangerous idea that centralization increases security. Which should only be seen as the non-sense it is.

> It's a lot easier than simply not having that data server side in the first place like Signal for example.

You still do not get the point here at all. This is not about storage. This is not about the server implementation. As long as there is a communication at all between me and the server and then my contacts and the server, it is irrelevant if you are storing the roster or not. ANYONE (*anyone with access to that server) can easily pick it up. In fact, it is HARD not to leak it up, even by accident. Barring a P2P Freenet-like thing, this is _unavoidable_. (and even with P2P/Freenet/Onion/whatever it's not trivial) And due to the nature of IMs, metadata is practically as big an issue than protecting the payload itself.
True facts: half of the self made software are task trackers.

Surely a well written spec would include functional requirements like resilience and performance?

However I agree that's the hard part. I can write a spec for finding the optimal solution to some combinatorial problem - where the naive code is trivial - a simple recursive function for example - but such a function would use near infinite time and memory.

In terms of the ML programme really being a compiler - isn't that in the end true - the ML model is a computer programme taking a spec as input and generating code as output. Sounds like a compiler to me.

I think the point of the AK post is to say the challenge is in the judging of solutions - not the bit in the middle.

So to take the writing software problem - if we had already sorted the computer programme validation problem there wouldn't be any bugs right now - irrespective of how the code was generated.

Show HN: Profile Pic Maker – Free, No Login Required and Privacy Friendly
Hey there! I'm launching one of my tools here. It's a Profile Pic Maker that uses 4 AI models. Give it a try!

It's 100% privacy-friendly, meaning your images don't go to any server to make PFP. Everything happens on your device.

All other tools out there keep a copy of your image on their server while processing. You can't be 100% sure that your image will be deleted afterwards.

But if you use this tool, I guarantee that your images never leave your computer. They stay on your device and are processed there. Hence, it's 100% privacy-friendly. Plus, it's free!

They were leader for over 10-15 years. They wiped the floor with Nehalem left and right.

The tooling of intel is still better than AMD.

The celerons and other types of CPUs are in plenty of notebooks people have who buy laptops below 1k.

The SSD topic happened, and went away i guess it was a margen topic. Low margin, ultra mass product lots of other companies happily building them.

I think its critical for intel to have knowledge about GPUs for a stable longterm strategy. It was critical 10 years ago when they tried and failed hard with larrabee but they need to do that or buy AMD/Nvidia. With AI and modern workload you can't just have CPUs anymore and with CUDA and ML that was clear a long time ago.

The market itself is also totally bonkers. When AMD surpassed intel, intel still sold like cake and still does. The fab capacity in the world is limited. If you can't get an Nvidia GPU for 200-300 because they complelty ignore this price range, than you have only AMD and intel left.

Intel took the market of low end gpus already through their iGPUs.

Intel knows how to build GPUs and other things than CPUs. It would be a total waste for them to stop.

Intel should have bought nvidia or done something else but the Intel CEO is an idiot. He stated publicly that Nvidias position is just luck. That is such a weird idiotic take its bonkers that someone who would say something like this is the CEO of intel.

The amount of R&D Nvidia did and still does left and right is crazy. He totally ignores how much Nvidia was doing the right things at the right time.

Not sure were intel is heading but with their fab knowledge and capacity, their cashflow and core tech, they should be able to swing back. I was hoping that would happen already, unclear to me why they struggle so so hard

With a company OP's size, I'd definitely look at it from this perspective.

Funding (and related longevity) are key drivers of technical debt. If a team has to constantly pivot projects to politically justify their existence, bad technical things happen.

So figure out a budget model that works, is sustainable, is justified on ROI (as logistics dev will be compared to capex alternative investments).

As a "halfway" solution, you could find 1-2 senior inhouse architect type people (ideally, who have reasons to stick around like quality of life) and pair them with project-based freelance/outsourced development teams. (Hard to find good small dev firms, but they exist)

That way, if dev screws up the project because they're incompetent, you have more options. But you retain the core institutional knowledge and some dev ability inhouse.

And it maximizes budget flexibility and gives you time to find the right people for the inhouse team.

I would caution... the goal of this arrangement should always be to grow the inhouse team until it's big enough to ship projects on its own.

But it's easier to slowly grow a good team than to hire one all at once.

Not sure when it happened but there used to be a time when computer companies would continue to release new versions as faster products for the same price of the previous year (or cheaper!). Now it seems like they (Apple, Nvidia, etc) release new stuff at a slightly higher price and continue to sell the older stuff in tandem( and only sometimes at a lower price).

It is my hope that Apple doesn't continue selling the older (current) MacMini at a slight discount and then sell the new M4 at a slight increase.

> However, Mariana Budjeryn, a Ukrainian scholar at Harvard argued that the denuclearization of Ukraine was not a mistake and that it was unclear whether Ukraine would be better off as a nuclear state. She argued that the deterrent value of the nuclear weapons in Ukraine was questionable. While Ukraine had "administrative control" of the weapons delivery systems, it would have needed 12 to 18 months to establish full operational control, and Ukraine would have faced sanctions from the West and likely retaliation from Russia. Moreover, Ukraine had no nuclear weapons program and would have struggled to replace nuclear weapons once their service life expired. Instead, by agreeing to give up the nuclear weapons, Ukraine received financial compensations and the security assurances of the Budapest Memorandum.[29]

12 months seems like a plenty of time for US/Russia to come and take back the nukes.

I think you can still have decentralization without having to be a sysop. That may be server operators that run small servers etc.

Decentralization doesn't inherently mean privacy though and it's important to remember that.

Most DB systems allocate memory pools for specific purposes, and do a better job in managing RAM vs OS because the DB knows which queries will be processed and can optimize RAM usage accordingly. Using virtual memory (paged out to disk) would spoil the DB optimizations and should be avoided in general.

But the more important part is managing disk IO, as permanent storage is far slower, but magnitudes larger than RAM (except for memory DBs which depend on special RAM with battery backup). Even in times of SSD.

This applies for dedicated DB servers.

If you have a server with mixed workloads and other apps beside DB, it becomes blurry.
