A lot of things go into benchmarks:

• RAM speed
• other services running on the machine
• CPU lottery
• ambient temperature and cooling efficiency

This isn’t necessarily quantum level behavior or even the processor isn’t “speeding up,” it’s just being used more efficiently. In this case, it’s better use of CPU threads.

Nor did paying for it apparently. And it certainly doesn’t exist in whatever replacement OP wants…

1. Got nothin’
2. Addiction to whatever caused 1 (i.e. they probably can’t afford it)

Why are people like this?

Why shouldn’t a US drone be there? Mind your own business.

Yup, 7 and 13.

I just put in dimmer switches where I want to dim my lights. I have to get up, but honestly, I’ll just dim on my way to the couch.

I honestly don’t see the point of smart lightbulbs, but I’d probably go zigbee if I wanted them for some reason. I’d much rather have smart light switches instead though.

My point is just that the energy difference is minimal, so it really isn’t something anyone should worry about. Turn them off when you leave a room and you’re good.

It could, but not because it’s borrowing processing power from all lost another universe, but because we find something out about quantum mechanics that only makes sense if parallel universes are also a thing.

The quote is stupid and should never have made it out of the lab where it was likely intended as a silly joke.

Exactly. There isn’t some finite limit on processing power per universe AFAIK, that would be absurd.

There’s a good chance parallel universes exist, but this has chip has nothing to do with that.

That’s a pretty high estimate, this article claims to have measured it at 0.5W/bulb (0.15W for zigbee). That’s still 3x or so higher than Zigbee, but still decent.

I have about 50 bulbs in my house, so that’s:

• ~5.4kWh/month for zigbee
• ~18kWh/month for WiFi

At $0.15/kWh, that’s $1.89/month savings with zigbee. That’s not nothing, but it’s not something I’d switch out a bunch of bulbs over.

It may make sense for an airbnb rental property or something, but I don’t see a point for average homes, and I’d expect adding dozens of WiFi clients would cause problems with WiFi quality.

Yes for free. I think it’s the same as installing Windows without a license, except you don’t get the watermark.

It’s also covered by being even.

She seems very much alive at the end.

It would be cool if I could exchange my Steam Deck for a discounted refurb OLED. I’d like one, but I don’t need a second Steam Deck.

I thought they hosted their own LLM…

Why would you expect that? I understand if he was being weird, but just being dressed a certain way shouldn’t impact whether you can buy something.

I highly doubt he was refused service, he probably just took the picture and left.

Nah, they’re quite pointy.

Acktschually… noone cares, it’s a meme.

Got you fam.
