lol not AI but yeah that’s fair. Clickbait was probably too harsh to compare them too.

It’s The Register. I love them but sometimes they go a bit too far with their inflammatory remarks in order to get clicks. In this case it seems like it worked based on the number of HN comments about it.

IIRC There was a Jim Keller interview a few years ago where he said basically the same thing (I think it was from right around when he joined Tenstorrent?). The ISA itself doesn't matter, it's just instructions. The way the chip interprets those instructions is what makes the difference. ARM was designed from the beginning for low powered devices whereas x86 wasn't. If x86 is gonna compete with ARM (and RISC-V) then the chips are gonna need to also be optimized for low powered devices, but that can break decades of compatibility with older software.

Is there even a way to know at this point?

Probably just an autocorrect slip

Not every time. In my current place the cable is stapled directly to the studs so it would require gutting basically everything to replace all of it. Luckily most of the runs go to places that make sense but I’ll never be able to upgrade from CAT5e.

Oh I didn’t realize. Internally we use `hg` commands for everything so I guess it’s just the internal version that supports mercurial

Literally not how things work. The last time states tried to secede a little thing called the Civil War happened and we determined that no, actually you can’t just leave the US whenever you feel like it.

Are we looking at the same data? Cuz I see the temperature going up around 5ish degrees since the 60s and almost no rainfall the last few years according to your link. I’m on mobile so I can’t see exact numbers but it’s definitely noticeable.

IIRC someone at Intel once said that Dell is the “best friend money can buy” in an internal email that came out when Intel was being investigated for anti-competitive practices.

For people who don't like the new look, you can go to preferences->Appearance and select 'Vector (Legacy)'. It does require you to login first which is annoying but at least you can easily go back to the old look.

Edit: You can also have it take up the entire width by hitting the button in the bottom right. Doesn't seem to remember the change for me though so hopefully they add that in soon.
