Guess the Episode [Genius at Work] in c/[email protected]

This outlines several issues, a key one is outbidding apple for wafer alloc on leading processes. They primarily sell such high margin products that I suppose they can go full send on huge dies with no sweat. Similarly, the 4090's asking price was likely directly related to it's production cost. A chunky boy with a huge l2$.

I like the way Mike Clark frames challenges in semi eng as a balancing act between area, power, freq and performance (IPC); like a chip that's twice as fast but twice the size of its predecessor is not considered progress.

I wish ultra-efficient giga dies were more feasible but it's kind of rough when TSMC has been unmatched for so long. I gather Intel's diverting focus in 18A, and I hope that turns out well for them.

I'm not sure that arm as an ISA (or even RISC) is inherently more efficient than CISC today, particularly when we look at Qualcomm's latest efforts in notebooks, more that Apple have extremely proficient designers and benefit from vertical integration.

Conversly, the apple silicon products ship huge, expensive dies fabbed on leading TSMC processes which sip power relative to contemporaries. You can have excellent power efficiency on a large die at a specific frequency range, moreso than a smaller die clocked more aggressively.

I think the prospect of enabling higher frame rates on more modest hardware is a noble goal but requiring TAA to get there is nauseating.

I think the second one. Assuming the middle bit is a nose, fewer details make for better deadpan toaster expression

Unrelated but is your thing mendicant bias?

Good to know, that's not the one I had in mind, however.

For whatever reason I thought PMOS was based on Manjaro. Could be something as silly as associating one green logo with another.

Swipe to navigate back gesture input bug (imgur.com)

E: fixed in 0.0.75 - thank you MV :)

Hey there,

I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this behavior where the swipe to navigate back gesture would register twice within the app, taking you back two steps instead of just one.

I'm not sure exactly when this behaviour was introduced, though it persists with today's .72 alpha release. I was to say it came about in the .6X timeframe.

I've not found this reported on the github, though I just wanted to check that this isn't a system specific issue before submitting. #1399 may be relevant as it refers to swipe input sensitivity but I think that's more of a gesture threshold matter than input registering twice in the app.

My app settings are attached in a photo:

and I have a short clip:

Steps to reproduce:

  • Using the provided gesture settings in Jerboa
  • From the home feed, tap into a community name
  • From the community view, tap into a community post
  • Swipe left to navigate back to the community view
  • Observe two steps back in response to a single input

Little guy hitch-hiked on my shirt when I went for a jog (lemmy.world)
 

Got back home, took my top off and was surprised to see this little guy clinging onto the back.

Took em out into the backyard and let them slowly crawl onto one of my plants. Not sure what kind of caterpillar this is but I think they were okay with their new spot.

Those of you who deadlift semi supinated, do you ever alternate your grip? (lemmy.world)

You might semi supinate your deadlift grip (one hand over, one under) for comfort & endurance at heavier weights. I believe some competitions even mandate this for safety reasons.

Those of you who semi grip, do you ever alternate? If so, have you identified any benefits in doing so?

A friend brought this up with me a couple months ago. It was a reasonable ask, and yet I've never thought to switch hands. I try to only use a semi grip when necessary (heavier sets, fewer reps).

I've recently started experimenting with switching it around for a few higher volume sets. Is there any benefit from switching long term, or session to session?
