The main problem with the Framework 13 at this point is underwhelming battery life. I have one of the newly announced models reserved in hopes that the new CPU improves that to a reasonable degree, but if reviews come out and that turns out to not be the case there’s a substantial chance I’ll cancel.
Why not spot check your PDF LLM outputs? I always make sure my accounts balance by hand anyway. Though Occasionally it's really painful especially if it's a missing Venmo transaction. It's rare that I need to really comb through my accounts to account for some money but when I do it's really time-consuming.

Just Launched My First Project – BrewLog (Free Digital Coffee Journal)
Hey HN,

I just launched BrewLog, a digital coffee journal designed for coffee enthusiasts who want to track their brews, experiment with different methods, and refine their craft over time.

As a former Starbucks Coffee Master and barista competitor, I wanted a simple yet powerful tool to log brew details, tasting notes, and personal preferences—something I wish I had when I was learning. BrewLog started as a passion project and has evolved into a full-fledged platform.

Right now, it’s free to use, and I’d love feedback from fellow coffee lovers, developers, and anyone who enjoys tracking their craft.

Would love to hear your thoughts! What features would make a coffee journal like this indispensable for you?
I'm not sure if multi-SoC is possible because having 2 GPUs together such that the OS sees it as one big GPU is not very possible if the SoCs are separated.
Lol, reminds me of audiophile discussions when most people listen to youtube streaming a recompressed version of an mp3 someone uploaded.
A quick search shows a company here will produce 5000 DVDs for £0.27 each. That's with full-colour printing, but no packaging.

A 25% tariff would add $0.08 to to each disk. That hardly seems likely to affect the decision whether to publish with a DVD or digital-only.

I assume manufacturing prices in Mexico are similar (mostly equipment and materials cost, not much labour).
1. You can read the ingreendients of IV fluid.
2. You can go online to different markets to see availability.
3. You can look up regulation to see if there are FDA limits that force USA health care to go to a specific vendor or approved vendor.

It is very much known that you can arbitrage medical costs, drug costs by going to Canada and Mexico. It is very much also very simple to research, search and find vendors or manufacturers located outside different geographic areas.

Therefore, your "qualifications" rebuttal becomes nil, this is basic adult literacy.

Call it economics/subsitution research, call it being informed, or just googling.

It is very much not ignorance but a very valid question to a very valid concern - most market restrictions are not because of "safety" (unfortunately, but it does become a boogey man) or "non-availability" (there is supply, but it isn't allowed.) but because it benefits some one/some company financially.
What kind of Nvidia-based rig would one need to achieve 40 tokens/sec on Deepseek 671b? And how much would it cost?

Mac OS has always been able to do this.
As a b and c grade student, who messed about, stumbled through a not very good info technology degree at university I definitely agree with this. The stories and lore are what makes me now so interested in programming and software engineering. I've pretty much taught myself everything programming related and that's what I work as too. I desperately want to learn math up to and including calculus as I feel like it's a hidden shame that I'm a programmer with not much math ability. I'm actually considering signing up for math academy.
Currently, no. You only need the ability to run inference on a given sample.

That's so completely, diametrically opposite of my experience with both that I can't help but wonder how it ended up there.

Tada, done. No, seriously. That's the whole invocation.
> But in most of modern life, the computer is the main thing, and it is somewhat eccentric to suggest that the computer is wrong. What, the piece of paper that I skimmed and signed and stuck in a drawer is the deal, and not the computer screen that I look at every day? Seems implausible. The contract is just a piece of paper; the computer is real life.

What in the world is the author talking about here? Why wouldn't the contract you signed be the contract? And the administrative error is an error in execution of the contract, so of course there's some space for dispute. Without that contract, he wouldn't have shares in the first place.

> If you give your CEO options that expire in August 2024, and you put into the computer that they expire in October 2024, then they expire in October 2024. How was he supposed to know that they expired in August?

Flipping this around, if the CEO signed a contract saying they expired in December then the system said they expired in October, I would still expect the shares to expire in December. By the author's logic, they would expire in October.

Ah, I didn’t realize they’d upped the memory bandwidth to DDR5-6000 (vs 4800), thanks for the correction!

The memory bandwidth does not double, I believe. See this random issue for a graph that has single/dual socket measurements, there is essentially no difference: https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python/issues/1098

Perhaps this is incorrect now, but I also know with 2x 4090s you don’t get higher tokens per second than 1x 4090 with llama.cpp, just more memory capacity.

(All if this only applies to llama.cpp, I have no experience with other software and how memory bandwidth may scale across sockets)
Well, it can be both. This post https://blog.replay.io/the-nut-api is the best technical overview of the API and discusses several examples.
CPUs do not have enough compute typically. You'll be compute bottlenecked before bandwidth if the model is large enough.

Time to first token, context length, and tokens/s are significantly inferior on CPUs when dealing with larger models even if the bandwidth is the same.
Charging a 400+% markup for storage and RAM does not suddenly make a laptop professional. Sure, if there was a significant difference between screen size, chip, battery life, etc, you could argue the $999 one is a prosumer device and the $1799 laptop is a professional device. The only difference between a $999 laptop and a $1799 laptop is 768 GB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. I will even be generous and say that is a $700 difference because Apple tosses in two more GPU cores ($100) when you go over a certain amount of RAM. On Amazon, I can get a 1TB M.2 drive and 32 GB of DDR4 SODIMM RAM for $150 total. A premium from Apple on those components would be $300-$400. They are at $700-$800.
Why? You don’t need another fighter to take out a fighter.

Frankly, I think something like the Gripen is much more suited for the modern battlefield.
I think it would get a lot less hate if Google just made it possible to opt-out of them without having to download some third-party browser extension (which is actually what Google's AI summary itself suggests I do when I ask it how to turn itself off!). A small "opt out" link on the top of the AI suggestion would make most of this hate go away, and would make me stop paying for Kagi, if Google cared.

I also find it extra frustrating when AI summaries appear when I search for correctness-critical information, e.g., "what temperature to cook chicken?" or "can I eat old eggs?" --- why force me to scroll past an entire page of AI generated, 1%-chance-of-being-a-literally-lethal-hallucination "summaries" in order to find the CDC's actual recommendation? I don't want to play Russian roulette with my health hoping I don't get a hallucination, instead I just want the authoritative answer. Which Google did an amazing job at until a year ago, and Kagi is doing a pretty great job at now.
I think people would be even more surprised to learn how common it is to use processed sewage for fertilizer. Human waste.

Thanks, this is how I understand them as well for years now.

NVIDIA project DIGITS has 128 GB LPDDR5x coherent unified system memory at a 273 Gb/s memory bus speed.
Any program whose performance is limited by memory bandwidth, as it can be frequently the case for inference, will run significantly faster in such an EPYC server than in the Apple system, even when running on the CPU.

Source on this? CPUs would be very compute constrained.

> people here could have netted more money per hour by studying up to pass a FAANG interview

My experience of that was that Google asked me to interview, I did, my recruiter congratulated me on passing the interviews and told me to expect a job offer by the end of the hiring cycle, and then at the end of the hiring cycle she informed me that, although I'd passed the interview, my interview performance was too poor to be considered for hiring.
Because "normal" players will get upset, so it's bad for your business.

The same thing happens in sports betting, where retail punters absolutely hate if someone places a bet online during a game exactly after a goal was scored, but before the odds move. So even sports betting exchanges like Betfair forbid this kind of arbitrage and void it. Not because they really care, but because it annoys the other players.
For his voters it's mostly true though. He doesn't talk down to them or make them feel challenged by what they don't know. Socially, we tend to be embarrassed about our ignorance, not happy to learn. That's a destructive socialization.

Lottery couriers are companies that will buy and scan lottery tickets for you for a fee. Most of the time, they're not actually doing much courier work. If you win a small amount, they'll cash the ticket for you and credit it to your account, and if you win a big enough amount that you have to cash it in directly with the state, they'll actually deliver you the winning ticket.

It's basically a workaround for restrictions on online lottery sales. I'm not sure how states should handle online lottery gambling—there are a lot of considerations around addiction, potential fraud, money laundering, and erosion of retailer lottery revenue and shopper base—but I don't think this is it.
I found myself watching an episode of diggnation a couple of months ago. It wasn't as funny as I remember, but, man, those were simpler times.
Eh. You don't manage LLMs, you program them.

Good on them.
There are a lot of similar anecdotes in this thread, but I'm still skeptical. I've had similar issues with my Brother printer randomly not accepting a new toner cartridge and telling me that it's empty. It happened twice. In one case, I had to use some obscure button combination to force it to reset and then everything was fine. In another case, I needed to remove and reseat the cart a dozen times before it suddenly worked.

Anyway, it's definitely possible that these newer issues are Brother doing something nefarious, but I could also see a lot of these issues being with finicky sensors.
> I suppose if Sudan tried to squeeze their monopoly other suppliers would easily come up in other regions.

There are a lot of goods like this, where the market has consolidated around the cheapest supplier for convenience but if that supplier disappeared the next-cheapest one would be fine at 10% more. It looks like a catastrophic chokepoint on the economy but it's really not a big deal.
When a university offers a chemical engineering degree, are they a jobs program? I mean, they could just get a chemistry degree...

Software engineering is a different discipline from computer science. It deserves its own major, and does not deserve to be mocked as a "jobs program".

What's the difference? Computer science is about the theory of computation, and the analysis of algorithms, and to some degree about the design of computer languages. Software engineering is about the efficient construction of larger-scale programs that adequately meet the need.

(Yeah, "efficient" is a lie. "Somewhat less inefficient" is closer to the truth. And "construction" should really be "construction and maintenance".)

The fundamental problems in software engineering are really about the brain-to-brain transfer of technical information between teams (and generations) of engineers working on large code bases. Those are not problems that are within the scope of a computer science degree.
Funny, I ran a bunch of Mac minis in colo for over a decade with no problems. Maybe you have a config problem?

Of course, I had a LOM/KVM and redundant networking etc. They were substantially more reliable than the Dell equipment that I used in my day job for sure.
Thanks! Your edit is good, more concise in the first half, and even easier to understand in the second half, compared to original.

Anatomy of a scalable software transactional memory [pdf]
Even around the house it makes a difference in my opinion. My 12” X1 Nano is much nicer to carry and use around the house than my 16” M1 Max MBP is, and so the Macbook spends most of its life docked. The MBP comes with me when I travel because it’s my primary computer, but reduced size and weight would be welcome. If only the 14” MBP didn’t sacrifice cooling capacity as much as it does.
At least some of these problems can be addressed by using a dotfile manager such as chezmoi or stow, specifically the conditional presence of scripts. Also, it’s perfectly possible to pass the status code of a previous program to another without builtins like $?, I’m not quite sure what he meant by that.
Yes but usually listings that ask for interac e-transfers are a scam in the first place! They are basically impossible to revert to scammers really like them. So even if they had access to interact transfers, they probably shouldn't have bought the listed item anyways.

> The material worth of something is what someone will pay you for it, i.e. the value it would sell for at auction.

The problem is that this i.e. isn't right, because the vast majority of market transactions are not auctions. The value a pallet of rice would auction for is very different than the value a rice farmer would accept to load it onto a truck, which is very different than the value a supermarket would pay to get one a month deposited in its loading dock, which is very different than the sum of values individual consumers would pay for the bags on that pallet.

I think the griping occurs when things actually slow down, or system perceived available memory cripples resources. Maybe they point the finger to the wrong place due to misreading virtual, but I doubt people are getting angry when their system is running smoothly.

And this attitude "oh memory usage problems are a misreading of top" promotes poor memory management hygiene - and I think there's a strong argument that's all good in server applications / controlled environments but for desktop environments this attitude causes all sorts of knock on effects.
Not necessarily. There is some overlap, but not 100%.

Boomer's Slang Dictionary (DApp on IPFS)
To understand recursion, and given that we know the initial value of r (r=4), I suggest replacing the recursive calls with a simple copy-paste of the function body. You’ll see that it’s just four nested loops each one iterating over the 14 dimensions and making changes to them. Each loop starts at the next dimension after the previous one, ensuring that changes are only made in increasing order. This is the key to avoiding duplicates—each pair of modified dimensions is generated only once (e.g., 1&2 is generated, but 2&1 is not). This is controlled by the last parameter (min), which defaults to 0 and sets the starting value of the loops. Another way to see it is that the function returns the sum of neighbors up to distance r, but only by making changes in dimensions equal to or greater than 'min'.

Treemaps are the default, and are great for finding outliers with heatmaps, but terrible in terms of explainability. So now I'm heading into architecture diagram territory, and tree-sitter is helping with extracting the names of classes, functions, variables etc. LLMs can make decent diagrams out of this.
Sure. They say the best form of government is a benevolent dictatorship, while the worst form is a malevolent dictatorship. The problem is that the former almost always turns out to be the latter in disguise, or at least devolves into it rather quickly.

The only claim I made is that if you toggle between 60/120hz on people's devices, they will be able to tell the difference.
Although since the GNSS satellites use directional antennae pointing at Earth, this experiment only picked up signals where the satellites are on the other side of Earth and close enough to its edge for some of that directional signal to leak past the edge of Earth and get to the Moon. So, the satellites that are nearly 4° away from the centre of Earth cannot be detected because they are beaming their signal nowhere near the Moon, and the detectable angular size is much less than 7.896°.

The question is about embedded DRAM, not trying to put a Mac in the data center. I am unaware of an apples to apples comparison here, but on the same Intel and AMD platform there can be a performance increase associated with embedded high speed LPDDR5 vs something on an SODIMM, which is why CAMM is being developed for that space.

I would be interested as well in what an on chip memory bank would do for an EPYC or similar system since exotic high performance systems are fun even if all I’ll ever touch at this point is commodity stuff on AWS and GCP.
You need to put this on your landing page. I can see the things that make it different, but felt reluctant to invest time in finding out by experiment. The 'Declaration of Principles' is a nice idea but read as vague and pretentious, a grab-bag of feel-good phrases. The prompt 'how do you feel about what's going on right now' doesn't help.

I don't get the requests and responder roles, it feels like quora, and the filters are also confusing (perhaps because there's no examples to peruse). I'm guessing that your favorite conversations are ones where you learn something useful or thought-provoking, or break a complex topic down to its elements and show how their interaction plays out, kind of like freeform Socratic dialog...but I'm not sure if this is the correct interpretation.

I suggest you communicate to users through plain rather than high-flown language, summarize your vision of what's interesting and valuable (rather than just what is not), and maybe spend a month filling it with some team conversations so as to provide users with a sense of what sort of social space it is.

Finally, aesthetics. I get the reference in the title but I'm not sure an Elvis Costello song title is the hook you think it is. The background art feels nostalgic but that doesn't seem ideal for a new product unless you're aiming for a community of people who explicitly reject existing internet culture.
