« An Apple Watch costs around $700 » : such a blatant lie in the first paragraph. Stopped reading.

Any more details on this? Like did anyone build a better extension or are you just guessing?

Question: wouldn’t the fab be the actual bottleneck? In other words, why wouldn’t TSMC make more NVIDIA chips instead of AMD ones? I assume they’ll just do whichever is paying more, so if NVIDIA chips are better, gamers would be willing to pay more for them and in turn TSMC will be willing to make more of them?

I mean in the first place. Now it's too late indeed.

Ok I don’t get it. Why not register `fraser.nameˋ directly? Or pick any TLD and register ˋ a 2nd-level domain (ˋfraser.tld`)? It just feels easier, plus this way you don’t have to pay for any new member of your family?

For some reason all the datapoints seems to be shifted a few miles south-west.

That was surprisingly both fun and somewhat serious/practical. Loved it!

Yes, the joke is that this was back in 1999, but it’s funny how history repeats itself. And this gives an interesting perspective to the recent Anthropic export ban : in a way, that’s free advertising.

I wonder what commercial Anthropic could build out of this!

Using raw uncompressed bitrate is a bit disingenuous. How about comparing an older, widely supported codec like H.264 as a baseline?

It sounds like it's electric powered. As much as I love brushless motors, I think a model of that scale and quality would have deserved actual jet engines.

How about using a format that has actually been designed to be a compressed read-only filesystem? Something like a SquashFS or cramfs disk image?

Reading the article is what made him say that.

Kinda ironic that standardebooks.org refuses non-English books but will happily promote a French ranking... I mean none of those books are actually available on standardebooks.org - at least not in their original French version.

That is really cool. I wish it had an animated video to display the result, that'd be even easier to follow and therefore even more impressive.
