Thanks for the article. I think the operating word here is “can”. They can be much faster than existing transistors. The article seems to indicate it isn’t there yet, so by extension this recent development might not be.
But there is hope!
however it’s going to be a pain, there’s a LOT of X86_64 software out there that is hard to get running on ARM with decent performance
That was Mac when the M1 dropped, buy their problem is most of the stuff isn’t open source and one has to wait for the publisher to recompile on an ARM device. I expect a bunch of software to just be recompiled remotely or locally if you have such a distro (Gentoo, Arch, NixOS,…) and not even notice a difference.
A lot of stuff already has ARM builds because of the raspberry pi. Many docker images have ARM versions too.
This isn’t going to be the clusterfuck it was on Malus chips, except for maybe gaming because it’s in the same place. Asahi Linux is dealing with that right now too (donating can help).
Aka a non portable console? What’s the point of this? Just buy a PC and install SteamOS on it.
“What are TOPS” introduced me to what the hell they are. 160 is not bad. NVIDIA’s mobile GPUs reach 1000 TOPS, while AMD, Intel, Snapdragon and M3s top out at 40 TOPS.
Not sure how this photonic chiplets will fit into the equation, maybe a separate chip for laptops without discrete GPUs?
How can these be compared to existing chips? Photonic, yes, but how fast can they switch and make calculations? What does a photonic transistor even look like / work?
Your comments completely lack empathy, wow. If you were in Snowden!s shoes, I bet you’d have folded to Russia at their first threat. “Visa or plane to Washington” and that would’ve been the and of it.
But because you are the big tough guy on the internet, Snowden is weak willed. You, the Alpha Moonchild would’ve resisted Russia in their prison and died like Navalni, with your head held high after they tortured your girlfriend in front of you. A true martyr baths in the glory and knowledge that their cause is just and true.
Your death would’ve driven all Americans and Europeans onto the streets! It would’ve been the flint to light the fire of a generation ♨️ like a true Scotsman, a patriot, a fearless defender of truth, morals, and internet tough guys!🫡
We all respect your hypothetical sacrifice and moral superiority. Long may it live in our memories.
C and C++ are way worse than mid. Had rust been invented at the same time, C and C++ would’ve disappeared in obscurity and only been taught at university to explain pointers.
They are nearly on the same level of bilge as COBOL.
What does it solve? I remember reading it was supposed to make the web easier, but it’s just another transport and one could push JS, CSS, WASM, or anything through it. One could even extend chromium to support it as an alternative to HTTP.
I’m not entirely sure of its purpose.
Linux is going to have the first and probably on compliant vulkan implementation for Malus Silicon 😂
“Want to game on a Mac? Install Linux” Might just become reality this year.
And proton mail still isn’t on f-droid 😴 Their focus is all over the place.
This is awesome. Finally an experimental browser that tries to do something differently.
It’s able to parse HTML and CSS and put stuff on the screen + it’s dynamic. It’s like the web in 2005 or something and written by one dude.
Love projects like these. It could actually be the basis for something.
Probably a minimal environment that streams the desktop to you. Must be the smallest windows install on a local PC ever.
Linux (TuxedoComputers, slimbook, starlabsystems, …), Nextcloud/Owncloud, LibreOffice, GCompris, etc.
inb4 “impossible”: wrong, Kerala is a great example of how that works
inb4 “not western”: a German secondary school is another example.
Schools need to stop buying Microshit stuff. They help create a new generation of M$ drones.
Corsica represent!
• What’s this? A software app store? Swell! I no longer need to download stuff off from dodgy sites or numbingly installing everything manually!
Ayyyy! Some recognition! Some people install linux and ask “where do I get apps from?”, you show them the “store” and they go “wow, that’s so complicated”. That’s when I question how they manage to survive in this digital world.
Keep on fraggin’!
That dude who predicted Windows 12 being a cloud OS was probably dead on the money.
Welcome to the fold, comrade!
Do I need to know much about you? You’re judging Snowden as if you’d had fared better in his situation. You portray the situation as if his life were not on the line and he were on vacation in Russia.
