  • First all-optical XPU processing system

    Jump

  • A real-world optical chip that you can actually buy is exciting. Still, seems to be far from a consumer-grade optical CPU. It's more like a microcontroller, which you stick at the end of your 10 GBit fiber optic cable, and receive processed optic data.

    Memory is going to be a big problem, because any AI workload requires a ton of it, and replacing even a simple 16 GB DRAM chip with an all-optic equivalent means you are essentially creating 16 GB of L1 CPU cache, which would be like 100 server CPUs stacked together, used only for their cache memory. And if you are using a conventional DRAM, you need to introduce optic-to-electric converter, which will be a speed bottleneck of your system, and probably expensive.

  • 15 years ago phones got 2X CPU speed, 2X RAM size, and 2X storage size every single year, for the same price.

    10 years ago phones got like 20% faster CPU every year, and 1.5X storage size every three years, and you can still find barely usable phones with only 2GB RAM manufactured in 2025.

    Now even 5% faster CPU per year is an achievement, and it costs battery life.

    Do you need to buy a new phone each year? Only if you smashed your old one. Don't expect any performance improvement in games, and your CPU speed does not matter if you only send emails and read news.

  • Well PS5 only has 16 GB RAM

  • It's honestly like that with free mobile apps. You either find a paid version or you install free abandonware riddled with ads.

  • Systemd timers or classic cron?

    Jump

  • The entirety of cron documentation is contained in the twenty lines of comments in the new config file created by cron -e

    The only thing you need to know is cron -e command. There's no learning curve, it's more like - you are a cron expert in five minutes after learning that such a tool exists.

  • Clock but the PM quit and was replaced halfway through the project. Handover instructions: "Make the clock hands show the current time"

  • When an API request fails, the seconds clock handle becomes red, and the time health management microservice sends an alert SMS to your phone once per second (scaled with the number of clients)

  • Tips on getting certs?

    Jump

  • Letsencrypt certs are the only certs you will ever need, everything else is corporate posturing.

    Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships

    Jump

  • My advice is to go to https://gsmarena.com/ and find a phone with 4nm octa-core chipset for $400. Who needs those four cameras, you'll probably use those fisheye lens maybe three times in your phone's lifetime. It's better to buy a phone with some useful gimmick like 6000 mAh battery and have 1.5 day life on a single charge.

  • Why write code if the LLM can just do the thing? (web app experiment)

    Jump

  • Considering that most techbro startups are going to be dead within a year, I'd say AI wins.Plus most of the competent programmers already have high resistance for technobabble bullshit, and will simply refuse to work on something like an online contacts app (are you copying a Facebook or what?)

  • Nah, it must be a PC, with broken audio socket on the motherboard, PCI soundcard with no drivers as a replacement, an IDE CD drive, only SATA sockets on the motherboard, and a stack of CDs with hundreds of DOS games on each. Plus $10 to buy an IDE-to-SATA adapter.

  • They already have it, just not an IDE.

    I believe most of Arduino libraries are open-source, so they can simply fork it.
