Apple M3 uses LPDDR5 and have transfer speeds of up to 6400 MT/s while LPDDR5X will have 8533 MT/s.
LPCAMM2 is the connector type to replace SO-DIMM slots, it still uses LPDDR chips. According to this article, it would support speeds of up to 9600 MT/s. So unless I'm missing something, shouldn't speed not be much of a concern? I'm open to corrections.

Anandtech has an article about the M3 and details about it's memory speed. M3 has 100 GBps, M3 pro 150, and M3 max 400.

So theoretically there's no stopping laptop manufacturers to have multiple LPCAMM2 slots to achieve such speeds, correct?

I don't think its fair to call it "padding". They're on the same die anyways and share the same memory pool through the same connections, makes sense they all have the same speed. I imagine Intel/AMD CPUs with iGPUs also share memory speeds and are both limited to how many ram channels you have configured. Apple very much could achieve that kind of speed by having more ram channels. Have the ram working in quad-channel mode, and you double the 192 GBps to 384 GBps.

More or less. Bone conduction headphones still operate by vibrating, and vibration makes sound, no matter how small it is.

So I couldn't find a membership-free version of this article, and not considering to sign up for another website, so I'm commenting on what I can see. Edit: I signed up with 10 minute mail, it's an okay article.

I did the same search on Google Scholar, and it gave me 188 results. A good chunk of it are actually legitimate papers that discuss ChatGPT / AI capabilities and quoted responses from it. Still, a lot of papers that have nothing to do with machine learning have the same text in it, which I'm both surprised and not surprised.

As FaceDeer pointed out, the amount of papers schools have to churn out each year is astounding, and there are bound to be unremarkable ones. Most of them are, actually. When something becomes a chore, people will find an easier way to get through it. I won't be surprised if there were actually more papers that use ChatGPT to generate parts of it that didn't have the quote, students already do that with Wikipedia for their homework before ChatGPT was even a thing, this is just a better version of it. To be fair, it is a powerful tool that aggregates information with a single line of text, and most of the time its reliable. Most of the time. That's why you have to do your own research and verify its validity afterwards. I have used Microsofts Copilot, and while I do like that it gives me sources, it sometimes still gives me stuff that the original source did not say.

What I am surprised about is that, the professor, institute, or even the publisher didn't even think to do the basic amount of verification, and let something so blatantly obvious slip through. Some of the quotes appear right at the beginning of a paragraph, which is just laughable.

Me with raspberry pis. Also complain when digital notice boards don't use low power systems like the pi and use windows PCs instead when all they do is show picture slideshows.

They kind of have to, otherwise it would be an Airbus monopoly, and there are plenty of planes they still need to deliver to customers. Management needs a total reshuffle for sure though.

No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on (www.cnn.com)

No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on::Tesla has been slashing prices. Ford just cut the price of its Mustang Mach-E, too, plus it cut back production of its electric pickup. And General Motors is thinking about bringing back plug-in hybrids, arguably a step back from EVs.

It's still more viable in regions where people don't have personal garages, and their apartment parking lot doesn't support retrofitting charging stands.

It's pretty useful if you know exactly what you want and how to work within it's limitations.

Coworkers around me already use ChatGPT to generate code snippets for Python, Excel VBA, etc. to good success.

Everything is magic if you don't understand how the thing works.

falkerie71 ,
@falkerie71@sh.itjust.works avatar

That's why I said code "snippets". I don't trust it to give me the entire answer right from the get go, because I acknowledge its limitations and review it before pasting it in. I find it works better if I tell it to generate specific code rather than everything at once.

Plus, we're not working on mission critical server stuff here. Those are code used for data analysis which probably could also be found on Stackoverflow anyway. If it works, it works.

@falkerie71@sh.itjust.works avatar

Why? If you know how to incorporate "boilerplate" and modify it correctly into your own code, what difference does it make if its from ChatGPT or Stackoverflow?

Wrong chat dude. What does that have to do with AI anyways?

How personally identifiable is your ear though? It's not connected to your thoughts, you can't use it to determine your age height and weight, which ad company would need that data? IMO, it's no different than sending a mold of your ear tube to a CIEM company to get your custom molded earphones.

Which I don't think has anything to do with GenAI. Though, I admit I'm not well educated in ear scanning and 3D audio reconstruction, so good sources are appreciated.

I see. I still don't think it's cause for concern yet, but good to know. Thanks!

Where did you get your information that airliners send planes back to Boeing for maintenance? My quick search tells me that they generally don't, and they either do it themselves, or rely on third parties called Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) providers for heavier maintenance. In the case of United airlines, their MRO provider is called United Technical Operations, their own division.

GCam and photospheres! I'm so mad they dropped photospheres on the Pixel 8 line, it's so good for travel landscapes.

More 128TB SSDs are coming as almost no one noticed this launch — another SSD controller that can support up to 128TB appeared paving the way for HDD-beating capacities (www.techradar.com)

@falkerie71@sh.itjust.works avatar

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I remember that SSDs lifespan mainly depends on how much you overwrite the drive. For 128TB, it should take you a very long time to overwrite the entire drive, let alone couple hundred or thousand times to kill the drive. I know that bit rot also happens on SSDs, but that applies to HDDs as well, and good drive maintenance practices should alleviate the issue. Though for archival purposes/cold storage, tape drives are probably better.

To be fair to Apple, the AVP is first of it's kind. Literally nothing else functions the same way it does. But based on its naming, you can bet a lower priced version is already on its way. For regular consumers, that's the one you should get, not this, especially when 3rd party apps are still being developed.

@falkerie71@sh.itjust.works avatar

There are plenty of things to not like about Apple, but this ain't it, dude.

Is Framework actually "good" for the industry?

Framework as in the laptop company, just for clarity. https://frame.work/. For those unaware, the idea is that these are laptops built with a high degree of modularity so that you can replace far more than a single stick of SODIMM with the goal of even upgrading your CPU and mainboard a few years down the line....

falkerie71 ,
@falkerie71@sh.itjust.works avatar

I don't think you need to be that worried about "tightening control to the likes of Apple". Given that they encourage people build their own cases for the motherboards, design and 3d print custom expansion cards, I won't be surprised if some 3rd party designs a whole new motherboard to fit in their chassis since the size is supposed to be standard. Iirc, Louis Rossman did do a video on them in the past that confirmed Framework would be willing to work with repair shops to provide them the schematics that they are able to provide to aid in repairs.

On the other topic, I agree that most people won't be needing to swap out parts that often. But that's also the beauty of modularity though. You buy the parts that you actually need and nothing else. Framework can sell the exact same chassis that still fills the need for different people who have different needs for ports. And since they're supposed to reuse the same chassis down the line, you are almost guaranteed to have parts still be available multiple generations after, unlike modern laptops where parts would be much harder to find after a couple of hardware refreshes.

Framework is still a niche product, thus they will definitely still be much more expensive than regular laptops due to scale and whatnot. Most people would be better off buying those tbh. But if you care about upgradability or repairability multiple years after purchase, I think they're still worth considering.

falkerie71 ,
@falkerie71@sh.itjust.works avatar

I mean, with modularity you can pick your needs and make that choice yourself. Some people are willing to carry an extra dongle, and some prefer having the ports sit flush and nothing extra that they don't need, up to you.
