  • World's first 'thermodynamic computing chip' reaches tape out

    Jump

  • In the early days of computing, people experimented with different signaling frameworks between electronic components (valves and later transistors). Decimal and ternary were used and abandoned because binary is much easier to implement and noise resistant.

    What we do today is simulate non -deterministic (noisy) signals in LLM using deterministic (binary) signals, which is a massively inefficient way to do it.

    I expect more chips with a neuron-like architecture will be coming out in the next few years. It would certainly be a benefit for the environment, as the cat will not get back in the bag

  • Spotify to raise prices in September

  • If I'm renting music, at least give me FLAC level quality.

    No, 320 kbps won't do.

    I've started collecting CDs and building my own Jellyfin library so I don't depend on streaming services.

    It's always porn that decides if a technology lives or dies.

  • What will be the top news headline on the day that you die?

    Jump

  • To me it was somewhere in the late 90's, but I'm sure people will still be debating this when I die.

  • Chinese researchers suggest lasers and sabotage to counter Musk’s Starlink satellites

  • This leads to the question of where I can find rule 34 of this.

  • Each new technology immediately raises two questions: how do we destroy it and how do we use it for destruction.

  • It is sad to see the mental gymnastics people do to justify their inertia.

    "It's opt-in!"

    "You can disable feature X easily by editing the registry"

    "You can install this tool from a shifty site to restore that feature MS disabled"

  • The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived

    Jump

  • Somehow I'm pretty sure Google already had that information. You've never used Google Wallet to pay on the go? No? How about your Android keyboard to fill in some banking form?

  • What is a song lyric that you misheard completely?

  • "Dirty deeds, dunder chiefs!"

    I always wondered what a dunder chief is.

  • Nice choice.

    I sometimes listen to KEXP, I discovered it along with a lot of other interesting radios using the Garden Radio app.

    My favorite is a NZ radio called Brian FM.

  • People who can't stand being corrected. Instead of learning and improving, they feel diminished and hateful.

  • Symbian: The forgotten FOSS phone OS

    Jump

  • Have a look at what came before Symbian : Psion series 5

    In the end, when the Series 5 finally shipped, it was like being transported into the future, only through a very murky tunnel.

    Gretton’s hardware clocked in at a meagre-sounding 18Mhz — but performed like a desktop Intel PC from just two years previously — and it could still maintain 30 hours use on two AA batteries. Once the circuitry was complete, the Series 5 performed the same tasks as its Windows CE rivals but used only a quarter of the power.

    I still have two working Psion 5MX palmtops and love them to death.
