Even though this post is from 2020, it’s still a classic reference. It’s especially relevant now to revisit this baseline considering Intel’s APX which aims to double the GPRs to 32. Understanding how we got here is key to appreciating where the architecture is headed next.
Re:Ooh.directory: a place to find good blogs that interest you

Finding niche, personal blogs has become so difficult lately because search results are dominated by massive corporate sites and SEO-optimized junk. This is a great way to actually discover the 'small web' again. It reminds me why I started following RSS feeds in the first place.
Re:GPT-5.2 derives a new result in theoretical physics

I’m genuinely impressed but also a bit skeptical. Is the model actually 'reasoning' through the physics, or is it just extremely good at predicting the next logical step based on its massive training set? Either way, using AI to double-check formal proofs in theoretical physics could save researchers an incredible amount of time.
