Thanks. This is a great analogy.

OT, Another benchmarks showing Caddy not performing on par with Nginx. And the difference aren't so either, roughly 2.5x in small asset serving at nearly 3x latency. On normal 100KB static files …

Hold on a sec. Did they get bought out by bigger players in China? Or did they really closed down and reduced total capacity? China themselves installed more Solar Panel than the rest of the world com…

Does anyone knows why? I thought MacMinis shortage was all about OpenClaws but it seems to be a bit more than that happening.

This is the first time I get to understand why it is important to have big companies as your early investors.

It trounces ARM's old CPU design. The X925 used in this Nvidia chip is 2 years old. X930 or C1 has shipped with Mediatek Dimensity 9500 which is what the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 / X2 Elite …

Thanks for pointing it out. I guess HN is at worst ( or best ) 70% Anti AI. I personally put it roughly 50/50. There are plenty of post and comments suggest how AI is good for something and but a…

I know this is designed for iGPU / Video Transcoding workload. But I have wanted to see something like this for Cloud Computing for a very long time. No more vCPU. You now rent per node in bare m…

Paging. Part of something not mentioned was also IOPS. Are you on 8GB with your M1? With 8GB you will have lots of swaps happening. Especially with Safari. That extra SSD is going to make quite a lot …

I think you got it the other way around. It is JPEG XL has to pay for it to be published by ISO and certified. And the document will be edited and audited in part. And in turns government choose forma…

Because it is an international standard accepted by government and many other parties.

That is a very cherishable way to put it. In realty JXL has been on one of the highest request in Interop for at least 2 if not 3 years, and both Microsoft Edge and Safari have spoken about frustratio…

Thank You I have nearly forgotten about that. At one point I was worried they might even remove AAC-LC support.

I just wanted to add the decision for JXL inside DNG was well known even before it happened and Chrome still said no. Adobe and Intel along with plenty of other players in the industry screams this is…
comment
I think it is quite the opposite. There were some support of JXL but leadership of Google, Android and Chrome all wanted AVIF. It was a perfect opportunity to announced AVIF with AV2, may be taking th…

Things I hope will improve with Neo 2. SSD Speed. Currently 1.2GB/s. That is slower than MacBook Pro 2015. Hopefully we see 2GB/s as in iPhone 17 Air. Backlit Keyboard. A19 with 12GB Memory.…
