"bottom of the page that has the two images and a summary of the work to build them."

A picture + explanation below it would carry more weight than this entire article tenfold.

Completely unrelated to the article claims.

Surprised nobody here linked https://andrewmccalip.com/space-datacenters.
Re:Float Exposed on Saturday September 13, 2025 @08:49AM (#45231658)
Nothing to add, I was simply saying that it would be useful to have an FP8 toy website out there covering all of these formats.
Re:Float Exposed on Friday September 12, 2025 @07:18AM (#45220952)
Yes, all of them would be great.
Re:Float Exposed on Friday September 12, 2025 @07:02AM (#45220859)
Good stuff. Having fp8/fp4 would be great, too!
Been using this since my Galaxy S3 days and is currently installed on my Nothing 2A. The switch will be painful.

Re:GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection 15.1 released on Friday April 25, 2025 @09:49AM (#43793533)
"C++ Modules have been greatly improved."

It would be nice to know what these great improvements actually are.

Surprised there's no mention of Redpanda here.
How would one go about doing this?
---------------------------------------------------------------- Dear battery technology claimant,

Thank you for your submission of proposed new revolutionary battery technology. Your new technology claims to be superior to existing lithium-ion technology and is just around the corner from taking over the world. Unfortunately your technology will likely fail, because:

[ ] it is impractical to manufacture at scale.

[ ] it will be too expensive for users.

[ ] it suffers from too few recharge cycles.

[ ] it is incapable of delivering current at sufficient levels.

[ ] it lacks thermal stability at low or high temperatures.

[x] it lacks the energy density to make it sufficiently portable.

[ ] it has too short of a lifetime.

[ ] its charge rate is too slow.

[ ] its materials are too toxic.

[ ] it is too likely to catch fire or explode.

[ ] it is too minimal of a step forward for anybody to care.

[ ] this was already done 20 years ago and didn't work then.

[ ] by this time it ships li-ion advances will match it.

[ ] your claims are lies.

I just love how responsive the editor is.

The biggest downside is that now I dread switching to overleaf after typst!

I have a chrome extension that I made for myself which removes recommended videos based on:

* channel/video title * duration * keywords * channel size/video views

Then, I have a video queue where I add videos that I find interesting.

Ever since I started using it, I started getting almost exclusively videos that I enjoy consuming, since YouTube seems to quickly adapt to my clicking patterns.

Re:End of the Road: An AnandTech Farewell on Friday August 30, 2024 @12:23PM (#41402176)
Last week while looking into the Apple DMP exploit paper [1], I noticed that the researchers were inspired by this [2] anandtech article.

Y'all will be missed.

Any papers/blogs/SO answers covering this?
Re:The Ridiculous History of 'OK' on Thursday May 09, 2024 @08:03PM (#40314204)
During my elementary school days, we were told by our English teacher that the origin was related to death toll reporting after a battle (presumably involving the Brits or Americans). Therefore, "0 K" would indicate that no soldiers were killed - an OK outcome. This went on to live in my head rent-free until today.
Re:GCC 14.1 Release on Tuesday May 07, 2024 @04:41AM (#40283538)
Could someone knowledgeable of this topic give some info on the status of C++ modules as of this release? https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support would indicate that they are currently in an unfinished state. Why is that so?
Perhaps it was made private as part of a conference submission process?

Seems like Bonelli comics aren't indexed.
The market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
