It is wild that this a log scale of cost to me!

For those who didn't check the page yet, it just links to the API docs being updated with the upcoming models, not the actual model release.

The iGP can access shared memory the same as with any modern system. I'm confused where you got this idea from.
Re:Framework Laptop 13 Pro on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @03:01PM (#47853006)
Keep in mind the Ultra 300 chips also only have recent support in the kernel. The battery life likely isn't great for now (as with previous gen Intels right after release). It makes sense to me that for now the benchmarks would be Windows specific.
Consider reading the article, which addresses all of the points you raise.

It's directly stated in the post that the entire test is meant to be humorous, not taken seriously, only that is has vaguely followed model performance to date. The author also writes that this new result shows that trend has broken..

This article seems overly critical trying to impose a stance. I have never heard anyone say "因为雨下得很大,所以我决定不去了".

> The Sausage Sentence: English stacks relative clauses. Modern Chinese attempts to shove that complexity into a single pre-noun modifier using de (的), creating bloated, breathless sentences that tax the memory.

This is given without any evidence. "Creating bloated, breathless sentences that tax the memory" sounds like something Claude might write. IMO, 的 is far from as negative as the author (or AI) portrays it; arguably better than the multitude of English synonyms (his, her, theirs, its).

Re:Show HN: A game where you build a GPU on Saturday April 04, 2026 @04:32PM (#47643074)
It's likely you are pulling one to ground somehow. That was a common bug I faced.
Re:RISC-V Is Sloooow on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @07:22PM (#47330051)
If I remember correctly,it was taped out by some company as some embedded core in a GPU?

I guess that may be the true use case for 'Open-Source' cores.

That being said, the advertised SPEC2007 scores are close to a M1 in IPC.

For people curious, it looks like it is MyDockFinder. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1787090/MyDockFinder/

I previously had a pretty good experience with it before moving to Linux.

Re:The path to ubiquitous AI (17k tokens/sec) on Friday February 20, 2026 @03:28PM (#47093465)
I think this is quite interesting for local AI applications. As this technology basically scales with parameter size, if there could be some ASIC for a QWen 0.5B or Google 0.3B model thrown onto a laptop motherboard it'd be very interesting.

Obviously not for any hard applications, but for significantly better autocorrect, local next word predictions, file indexing (tagging I suppose).

The efficiency of such a small model should theoretically be great!

Quick shoutout to Fooyin (https://github.com/fooyin/fooyin) which is a customizeable and very performant music player. Built on QtWidgets, so it's very snappy and themeable.
From what I know it still exists further out of the city. I have a friend who picked up quite large amount of scientific equipment. Might be a similar store with a different name though.
Re:The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source on Monday May 19, 2025 @04:47PM (#44034689)
If you can GPU passthrough (it's quite simple to set up), this is not a large issue. You're right that Linux is sorely lacking in native creative software though!
These displays in the glasses are significantly smaller than even your Apple Watch though (0.58" or so I believe). Essentially the displays they're using are the same ones found in DSLR viewfinders. There should be higher resolution options, but I suspect the resolution limiter is the optics not the pixel size (just a suspicion).
Re:Zhaoxin's KX-7000 on Wednesday April 30, 2025 @09:52PM (#43852905)
Absolutely a lomg way to go.

Interestingly, the chip is rated to run at DDR4-3200 or DDR5, so it's strange C&C got half that.

The power issues are likely from by modern standards pre-historical clocking behavior (single P-state to my understanding)!

Re:Three Fundamental Flaws of SIMD ISAs (2023) on Thursday April 24, 2025 @04:25PM (#43787107)
Low power RISC cores (both ARM and RISC-V) are typically in-order actually!

But any core I can think of as 'high-performance' is OOO.

I saw a video recently advocating for this exact use case of said PC. That would make it truly pocketable.

It is in Chinese however!

It's not easy to leave a tenured position you worked half your life to get to I suppose...
Re:63 Chinese Cuisines: The Complete Guide (2024) on Monday March 24, 2025 @01:43AM (#43458009)
Really in-depth and great article!

As with some other commentors, I was surprised to not see a lot of dishes that I thought were staples, and quite a few were under different names.

Nonetheless, really amazing---and made me quite hungry at well-past midnight!

Heh, I just came from Reddit where I saw your post, and was about to update my comment.

Yeah, it seemed strange since to my knowledge no out-of-order vector RISC-V chip exists at the moment.

Interesting, hopefully DC can fix their advertising/clarify a bit more!

Was really surprised to see this!

Especially a vector-instruction compatible AND out-of-order processor. Does anyone have any idea exactly what chip it uses?

Edit: TomsHardware guesses that it is a EsWin EIC7702X!

I've seen you far too often with a strongly anti-China viewpoint on HN posts to take your points seriously at this point...

It's a cute little project, arguably far more interesting than the political flame wars that make front page.
