Neywiny··on Playing with the STM32MP2
The MP1 is 7.5 years old now.
Neywiny··on Playing with the STM32MP2
Imagine being less character efficient just to be a bigot. Hope you stocked up on RAM for all that extra text
Neywiny··on Playing with the STM32MP2
Booooooooooo
Neywiny··on Playing with the STM32MP2
I think you mean "despite the STM32 in the product name, they're 64 bit compatible cores." Because STM8 was 8 bit (though I've never seen one in any design ever, I'm sure they're just before my time) and STM32 MCUs and MPUs were always 32-bit.

I'm worried they dug too deep a trench with the 32. Like how do much from Espressif is an ESP32 now despite them ranging from slower single core to faster dual core, now even with mmu, some with Wi-Fi some not...

What is in a name?

Neywiny··on Mizu – zero-copy parallel R and Python over shared memory
I won't link it because idk seems toxic but the last one who replied started with "It's pretty tedious to compare" about their slopcode. To be too lazy to ask the LLM to put that in too is incredible
Neywiny··on Mizu – zero-copy parallel R and Python over shared memory
I have no use for this but I want to commend you on defending your claims and taking objective numeric measurements. The lack of these lately on performance improvement based projects has been disturbing
Neywiny··on Show HN: Green tests are not proof – verifier for C/C++ and firmware fixes
I still can't imagine hooking up an LLM to real hardware because of exactly this.
Neywiny··on MaxxBench – "Nice DeepSWE score. But is it true?"
This is perfect. Real programming has a ton of these instances of minor changes.
Neywiny··on Every Windows 11 app should kill Electron, and Discord just showed why
They keep talking about 2 accounts logged in so that's why it's still high. But they've done nothing to defend that claim.

Also, pro tip, you can still just use it in browser. I hope that doesn't go away.

Neywiny··on AMD CEO saying it's a "data center first" company and PC sales will plummet
I mean what'll you do? Intel only for PCs? Like in disappointed too but I'm not gonna go try to fab the stuff myself.
Neywiny··on Elon Musk on X: Happy to cancel any that the government doesn't want. Just say
Pathological liar says thing. More at 11
Neywiny··on 80k Hops per Second Measurement Confirm Starlink Up/Downlink Channel Pairing
You can simulate it communicating with satellites in the chamber. Especially since if they're at X or Ku band, and coil whine is in the audible range, it really shouldn't interfere with the measurement?
Neywiny··on MoofTCP – A modern replacement for MacTCP on 68k Macs
I mean I guess but the readme made it sound like this would be a night and day difference. A lot of bashing of the original.
Neywiny··on MoofTCP – A modern replacement for MacTCP on 68k Macs
Without seeing the memory saving metric and error bars, these are marginal improvements. Kudos on making a thing but I'm not seeing it. I also don't have a 68k mac though so maybe I don't see this being a big deal.
Neywiny··on Inkling 2 Small
Source they didn't train on it?
Neywiny··on MoofTCP – A modern replacement for MacTCP on 68k Macs
So disappointing to see no direct numeric comparisons with the original.
Neywiny··on No Intel, no Qualcomm: Huawei unveils its first '100% domestic' desktop
The US can. There are domestic packaging people and board houses. I think the EU can but I'm not sure and that's not a country.
Neywiny··on Inkling 2 Small
If it was about wine, why would I want one with a training data cutoff? I'd much rather have one that can query a database about wine
Neywiny··on Inkling 2 Small
I feel like this is a dumb question, but why are we spending any effort on wine comparisons? Is there a way to get rid of experts on these to just be ones for code?
Neywiny··on Major Investors Are Skeptical Anthropic IPO Can Achieve $1.5T Valuation
Minor investors. Semi-major. Everybody
Neywiny··on Ripple-65B Preview: U.S. Open-Weight SOTA on Agentic Coding
3 ultra vs 3.5 super is a big discussion. But in mine and others' experiences, 3.5 super is a lot worse than 3 ultra.
Neywiny··on Nvidia RTX Spark encrypted firmware slows inference speed to 35% on Linux
Yeah I'm giving all my RAM to Sam Altman tomorrow because of that
Neywiny··on Binance hackers used fake job interview to breach PC before $6.3B attack
While true, I tried it devcontainers recently for the first time and it was molasses slow for every keystroke in the terminal and action with files. Ended up putting dropbear in the container temporarily and sshing into it using the standard remote connection. That got it back to normal. I should see about filing a GitHub issue ticket
Neywiny··on Tips for more effective fuzz testing with AFL++
I think it's mostly a testing thing. Valgrind is a friend a lot of people haven't heard of for c/c++. Setting up good regression tests is an art. Maintaining them is even harder.
Neywiny··on Show HN: A USB-C LTE modem that gives my computer a phone line
It's not about your clock speed, it's about your edge rate. Anyone who's had to lower drive strength or slew rate can tell you that even at 0.0000...1 Hz clock speed, if your routing is trash it can ring to the point of detecting multiple edges or interfering with other signals.

Also some of the issues were on USB lines which hopefully aren't running at 2MHz.

Lastly, since you're coding it, maybe make it pull reference layouts+routing for power supplies from the datasheets. That's step 1 for any real eCAD student.

Neywiny··on Large-scale battery storage systems check their charge every 60 seconds, causing
No explanation of why checking their charge causes a spike in power? To me that's weird but somehow accepted as normal
Neywiny··on Major Memory Vendor: We're Basically Sold Out Through 2029
I have 96GB of good RAM. I bought it around this time 3 years ago. Up around 550% when I checked the other day. If a stick dies, it dies. Very sad
Neywiny··on Amazon Is Gutting Its AI Division After Sustained Failure
Just occurred to me that Amazon seems interestingly positioned relative to the book sourcing thing. I guess that's still not enough.
Neywiny··on A 10-year-old CNN outperforms frontier LLMs for skin cancer diagnosis
I think this is true of any trained anything. It's the fish climbing a tree scenario. The teens on Ellen getting laughed at for not knowing how to fold a paper map.

There's infinite front end code to train on. Virtually infinite python and shell scripts too. As I've worked my way away from such domains, the LLM outputs have gotten worse. It just makes sense.

Neywiny··on Claude Code slyly adding users' emails to outbound HTTP
Yeah but that was because it was gently asked to please not. I mean running a firewall/proxy that actually does it.
