No, the symptom is being treated, not the underlying issue. And that's ok, but treating the underlying issue, when possible, is better, as the problem ceases to exist.

The M1 Max from 2021 has better memory bandwidth. The M3 Max can be specced to 128GB.

Nothing new here, apart from being able to use CUDA on a less power hungry system.

Flagged. Article is as AI heavy as the commits that people are complaining about.

Hard to read article. The writing is curiously more robotic and repetitive than those written by AI.

New comment by htk in "A new spam policy for “back button hijacking”"

htk — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 14:01:29 +0000

Popups were dealt in a way that could be useful here, they're only permitted when the user directly generates the interaction that creates the popup (not scripted). The back button could use the same algorithm back in history, only go back to screens that the user directly navigated.

Thanks to the kind soul who upvoted this horrendously typed reply. Unfortunately I can't edit it anymore.

Absolutely! I have both the AirPods Max and the Bose QC Ultra and even though my whole ecosystem is Apple, the QC Ultra is a lot more comfortable reliable on day to day usage. Comfort is due to weight, and reliability is the batter is predictably on the QC Ultra, but on the Max I never know if the battery went all down because I can't turn it off.

New comment by htk in "BitNet: Inference framework for 1-bit LLMs"

htk — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 20:12:33 +0000

So Microsoft is actually using 2 bits instead of 1.58. In this case they could represent -1, 0, 1, 2. As inhibitory synapses account for 20%-30%, this could map well to how biological brains are structured.

Does that make sense?
