I agree, we should push more to get the open and standardized API for these accelerators, better drivers and better third party software support. As long as the manufacturers keep them locked and proprietary, we won't be able to use them outside of niche copilot features no one wants anyway.

No, it will not save any power at all. The power is only consumed during switching, so when some module is properly clock gated, it will not consume any power. There are many parts of the chip that are dark, for example the full CPU core could be disabled for various reasons and it does not affect power consumption when it's dark. Maybe you know the Steam Deck, it is a battery operated device with the best power efficiency in its class. But what people don't know is that it has more than 20% of its chip area disabled, as it relates to stereoscopic displays, because the same exact chip is also used by some AR or VR goggles, I forgot the name.

Also in general the modern chips are more limited by thermal rather than space. So realistically, even if you remove the NPU, you won't be able to place anything high power there anyways, maybe you can put a couple hundred K of sram for cache in its place, but it won't matter much in the end.

We can already fully simulate ringworms and other small organisms, this is only a question of compute power. Even if you don't believe we can make a better architecture for the conventional neural networks, in the future we will have enough power to straight up simulate a normal biological brain.

I like Hetzner, what kind of issues did you have with them?

It's just a name you can google, it's not specifically 3g only. In practice what they want to do is to remove all voice services that are not VoLTE, which includes the older systems too. In Australia they even started to ban phone models that are not able to do emergency calls over VoLTE properly.

Recently there has been a movement for "3g shutdown" in some parts of the world, but I guess it will spread with time too. So unfortunately it will stop working at some point.

You must be close to a station. I think normal fm stations are expected to work at least 40km away, but I doubt you can receive it without a good antenna at that distance.

It could be a lamp which you need to turn on to see through it

But he is right though, you should be using your air conditioner not dehumidifier for climate control, it works better for that purpose. Watch this video to learn why

No, but it doesn't mean the other answer is invalid too. If there is no reference in the picture to tell what kind of light condition it was shot at, both answers could be possible.

The yellow background could be lit by another window or a different light source, so one could argue we don't have a good reference to tell. But the point is that the "picture of a thing" is not "the thing" itself, and there is always a possibility that they are different.

You missed the whole point. If I take a white dress and then shine a blue lamp on it, then take a photo.The pixels will be 100% blue, but would that mean the dress itself is blue?

But it makes it harder to roll, so you spend more energy pedaling. Especially in the city on a pavement you can roll much easier with higher pressure.

No, it's not, looks stock to me

The frequency changes to adjust for the load, this is completely normal. When you lose a large power source the whole grid runs a bit slower to compensate for it. The question is why was Britain affected, I thought it's not synchronized to the european grid.

del on the bottom left is evil

Blame NTSC

I think the idea is they are too lazy to work for rent. If they really wanted they would go to work and not be homeless anymore. And if they are not able to find any job, they can always do forced labor in a prison system. That's how it was in the USSR. People in power really like this kind of a system

The same, orange and green no issues, but the other two are impossible to guess.
