Too right. Drilling into the domain from first principles and with critical faculties enabled unlocks so much more value, because the engineer can then see much better ways to solve problems.


It's just how the memory controllers work in Apple Silicon's unified memory architecture.

You also get much higher memory bandwidth as you move up the scale, from 153GB/s at the bottom end to 546GB/s at the top end.



But Paramount only recently signed a massive deal for Southpark, which is outrageous in its handling of Trump.


They can probably let South Park slide. Stewart’s remarks are cogent and cutting. Cut into 1-3 minute chunks they can be just the sound bites that will anger grumpy old trumpy.


That is before south park made their new shows.


They can’t be that stupid though. You know South Park is gonna South Park. Matt and Trey don’t let up. They’ve been ready to be cancelled for over 25 years now.


M3 support still over yonder, unfortunately.


Actually the internet was not down at all. It was perfectly up.


Synecdoche


tldr;

Before:

    let process = Process()
    process.executableURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/bin/ls")

    let pipe = Pipe()
    process.standardOutput = pipe

    try! process.run()
    process.waitUntilExit()
    let data = pipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile()
    if let output = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
        print(output)
    }
After:

    let result = try await run(
        .name("ls"),
        arguments: ["-1"],
        output: .string(limit: 1 << 20)
    )
    print(result.standardOutput ?? "")


Why bother with invoking shell programs instead of using built-in ways of the language to do the same task?

  let result = try! FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(atPath: "/etc")
  print(result)
Various other FileManager methods are available:

Always been one more iteration of 3nm in the plan


From a companion article: "For instance, an F-35 contains more than 900 pounds of REEs, an Arleigh Burke–class DDG-51 destroyer requires approximately 5,200 pounds, and a Virginia-class submarine uses about 9,200 pounds."


That’s just a reporter who hasn’t done their research.

Rare earth are used as additives to things like iron and other metals.

I’ll bet the reporter saw “9,200 pounds of rare earth alloys” and decided “alloys” is too confusing and dropped it.
