Most programmers are taught that L1 is the “top level” cache on x86.
It’s not quite true anymore!
Intel calls it the Decoded Stream Buffer (DSB), AMD the OpCache.
Only enough room for ~4,000 micro-ops, but there are interesting ways to take advantage of it.
16807 is a very special number in Computer Science.
You can find it in the Playstation 5 (freebsd 11), almost every Mac Classic game, and even the C++11 standard!
Give it the right prime number, you can produce an evenly distributed sequence for over 2 BILLION values.
There’s just no AI device that can meaningfully step in for smartphones being this generalized www.theverge.com/tech/885002/...
Let's hope common sense prevails for some time atleast.
No discord user wants their face scanned from three sides by groups closely aligned with governments. I don't at least.
Keeping the functionality part aside, those are some slick clicks!
Last year the company announced a $600 million investment in the U.S. in a bid to expand local manufacturing and stave off tariff threats.
The amount of ecosystem change this handheld did will be remembered.
Sad that I don't own it yet but happy that it's doing good lol.
That's a bit painful to see but I'm sure it'd be so convenient to use now.
I have become, sort of surprisingly, totally convinced that tools like Claude Code will change how we use tech. I've been learning and building a lot, and on today's Vergecast I asked Claude Code's Boris Cherny what it takes to make this stuff a lot easier to use www.theverge.com/podcast/8836...
Gambling used to be obvious.
Casinos. Slot machines. Sports betting apps.
Now it's dressed up as "forecasting."
It looks like data. Sounds like finance. Gets cited by journalists.

Everyday I wake up and there's something good happening with Proton, AMDGPU or Linux. What a time to be alive!
Contributors be prepping for the Steam Machine.
True, Similar looking characters are such a bad way to click on unwanted links.
On point!
I'm myself surprised how fun even old games could be.
Absolutely!
Initially I was afraid to try them out simply because of their age (esp HL1), but the moment I jumped into that train inside Black Mesa I knew that it's something special.
Same thing with Portal inside the sleeping chamber with that radio.
That's cute :)
Here I'm playing this game for the first time being 20 y/o lol. Just finished Portal 1 last week and couldn't just stop myself to jump to the next part.
Now I'm about to finish Portal 2. Just finished first 5 levels of Chapter 8 (The Itch). I'm loving it all the way!
It's crazy how far Proton has come. Just ended Portal 1 a couple of days ago and the experience was awesome to say the least.
