I wonder how much of this increase is solely enabled by TSMC process upgrades, either through higher clock speeds or increased number of transistors per core? It's kind of interesting that every iteration of the M series has corresponded to a change of TSMC process.

M1: 16 billion transistors at 3.2 GHz on TSMC N5

M2: 20 billion transistors at 3.7 GHz on TSMC N5P

M3: 25 billion transistors at 4.05 GHz on TSMC N3B

M4: 28 billion transistors at ?? GHz on TSMC N3E

AT&T ran fiber to my house (and everybody else on my street). 15 months later, the highest speed option we have is still 50/10 Mbps DSL from AT&T.

I wonder why they put it in if they aren't going to bother offering service with it?

What operating system would be run by PCs using this chip? Are there existing operating systems that support LoongArch?

Very excited that this unique game continues. It's too bad they aren't supporting the Mac, like the old game did.

> taking over 500ms and a complete page reload

For me this is 45ms to transfer the 2 kB (compressed) of HTML; the whole process takes under 60ms total, which is pretty darn close to "instantaneous" for the "complete page reload."

EDIT: I'm in Texas, so most of this time is probably just round trip time to the west coast.

This was not paid with a check, but a cashier's check, and so the money would have already been gone from their account:

From the post:

> The car was paid for with a combination of card and CASHIER’S check. Cashiers check means the amount of money is withdrawn from the bank when it’s ISSUED not cashed. so no, we did not notice extra money sitting in our account because it had already been withdrawn.

> MicroLEDs are still just LCDs with a better backlight but LCD Tech has evolved quite a lot and pixel refresh time (< 3-4ms) is not much of a problem anymore.

You're thinking of MiniLED, which is just better LEDs behind an LCD.

MicroLED is a whole different ball game, with no LCD at all. It's just red, green, blue LEDs, one for each pixel.

Weasyprint is an excellent tool for converting HTML to PDF. It has supported CSS Paged Media Module for a while; this has been very useful for making printable PDFs from web pages.

Weasyprint seems to be one of the few HTML->PDF engines out there that doesn't depend on a browser engine. It's impressive just how much works (HTML, CSS, SVG, etc), given that this is a relatively simple project compared to a full-featured browser. Performance isn't bad, considering it is implemented in Python.

Eclipse?

This is a great idea; unfortunately now I have dozens of voicemails a week from these numbers instead of just calls. Any option to prevent them leaving voicemail?

> those inane licenses no one reads, do we really want them to legally binding?

What all would be possible if software EULAs weren't legally binding?

One thing that EULAs typically do is reduce liability for the company producing the software. Imagine if Google/Apple were liable for damages from all the miscommunications caused by autocorrect?
