Rekall is a company that provides memory implants of vacations, where a client can take a memory trip to a certain planet and be whoever they desire.
I like F-Droid, but does anyone else find that the versions in their repos often lag behind the current release (sometimes significantly so)?
I was referring to PC components in general.
TSMC is well positioned to pass on tariff costs, it’s not like their is a viable alternative to their services.
So the primary benefit is power consumption and reduced eye strain?
I don’t have any stats to back this up, but I wouldn’t be surprised if failure rates were higher back in the 90s and 2000s.
We have much more sophisticated validation technologies and the benefit of industry, process and operational maturity.
Would be interesting to actually analyze the real world dynamics around this.
This is why I always avoid being an early tester on any new PC components releases or even technologies.
I would be extremely unhappy if I paid for a 5090 and it got bricked; thus requiring going through the RMA process.
First time I am hearing about Transreflective LCD monitors. Would it be cool to check one out in person.
The physical market is basically in terminal decline. It would make much more sense for Sony to go with a separate drive addon if they are even willing to consider support discs for the PS6.
This is the kind of stuff that shows the true potential of ML. LLM’s of course have their use as well, but nowhere near the level of hype and current capital expenses dedicated to this area.
I do wonder how viable it is to actually productize this finding. The source paper doesn’t really mention anything about this (e.g. current costs and potential for cost reduction with economies of scale). It might be too early at this point.
While I agree with your message at a high level (I quit FB several years ago), I don’t think it’s productive to be so abrasive.
It’s generally better to be respectful and convincing if you want to change minds.
I wonder how (if?) the recent tariffs on foreign semiconductors and Chinese imports will impact the pricing of mid-range GPUs.
This will be an issue for AMD too. Perhaps even a bigger issue since arguably demand for Nvidia GPUs is more price inelastic.
Apple typically enters a market after the base concept was tested and at least modestly refined by some early innovators, sounds like they don’t feel AR smart glasses are at that point yet.
Sounds like sucking up to the new administration doesn’t seem to be working for Nvidia:
The first Trump Administration laid the foundation for America’s current strength and success in AI, fostering an environment where U.S. industry could compete and win on merit without compromising national security. As a result, mainstream AI has become an integral part of every new application, driving economic growth, promoting U.S. interests and ensuring American leadership in cutting-edge technology.
…
As the first Trump Administration demonstrated, America wins through innovation, competition and by sharing our technologies with the world — not by retreating behind a wall of government overreach. We look forward to a return to policies that strengthen American leadership, bolster our economy and preserve our competitive edge in AI and beyond.
Did Huang forget to give $1 M for the inauguration?
For some reason, I find the design particularly appealing.
I am really sceptical about this.
Doesn’t every ARM laptop need its own “spin” of an OS because ARM laptops don’t support UEFI, ACPI and similar technologies? From my understanding, the driver situation is catastrophically bad with ARM laptops (even with x86, the Linux driver situation has room to improve).
And you have to deal with Qualcomm; a company with a relatively bad reputation for medium-long term firmware support (if it’s provided at all).
Graphene ICs are like the fusion power of the semiconductor world.
I don’t have access to the Nature, but looking at the intro text, this seems to be more of an iterative step towards actual productization.
IMO as things stand now, Linux on ARM laptops aren’t really viable as a daily driver.
I have only seen this in context of TVs. I am will speculate that they will initially focus on TVs due to address a larger potential market.
I would not expect four-stack OLEDs to come to monitors in 2025, but I could be wrong.
EDIT: Changed 2015 to 2025. :)
I would be curious to see thermal benchmarks using E6. Two identical devices, one with E6 and another without; what would the delta be when running a very demanding multi-thread benchmark?
Couple of days, or even a week or two is fine, it’s when they are months behind it can become a problem.
