@timbray Rumor (and reality, so far) is that M6 will be the ONLY “6”-series M chip, so no M6 Pro, M6 Max, and M6 Ultra. Apple is skipping straight to the M7 generation.

(Also, the M4 series never had an “Ultra” chip.)

So, a plain M6 is much smaller/weaker than an M5 Pro, let alone an M5 Max or Ultra.

But the M6 does have 2x the “Neural engines” of the M5 Pro and M5 Max, so it might be able to win a very specifically designed benchmark on that.

@timbray Apple’s ”M” chips come in multiple sizes for (most) generations. (Replace n with 1-6.)

* Mn - The plain, no-suffix M chip. This is the smallest and cheapest, with the narrowest busses and the least cores, etc.

* Mn Pro - The next size up: more cores, wider busses, more PCIe lanes, etc.

* Mn Max - The biggest “single chip” M chip (though the M5 Max does use separate CPU and GPU dies now).

* Mn Ultra - Two Mn Max chips stuck together, so double everything the Max has.

快十年的Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen5在Tims
我得说照片不论怎么拍都拍不出来不同阶层Thinkpad的区别
但就个人使用情况,X1 Carbon放咖啡店里是100%没有任何违和感的,即便周围还有什么联想惠普荣耀华为苹果外星人啥的

两部关于高空逃生的剧情片 Fall,对于稍微有攀岩常识的人来说,里面的设定实在太离谱,所以只是当作搞笑烂片来看。

但看着看着突然有一种近乎解离的感受。我仍然不自觉地用登山攀岩的经验,来尝试处理片中每一刻出现的状况。但这片子太离谱了。我觉得危险的地方影片里完全忽略,影片角色面临的所谓绝境,对我而言是完全可以轻松解决的,而电影里也完全没有按我预想的方式解决,而是通过种种貌似合理但违背人体逻辑的方式给自己加戏……于是每一幕的状况,都是一系列荒谬的结果,都是不存在的存在,编导们在臆想出来的危险场景里,让角色藉以展示情感,并且期望观众们能感受到这种传递过来的刺激紧张。而观众也确实会买账。——我知道当我看武侠片或者奇幻片时,可能和看这种臆想片的观众也没区别。但这一刻体验到的荒谬感是新奇的。

tzdata 更新,以为加拿大又去折腾IANA了。
结果是古巴。为缓解电荒取消今年冬令时。利用傍晚自然光照,削减约 126 兆瓦的晚间用电高峰负荷,减少停电。 至于早晨天色过暗问题,古巴政府宣布在 2026 年 11 月 1 日至 2027 年 3 月 14 日期间学校和企事业单位的上班上学时间均推迟 30 分钟。

This is FASCINATING. Researchers were able to pin down the cause of measurable global 60 second power spikes to software that does regular checks on the minute mark. They found large scale battery installations as one major cause, but obviously this is true for any other computerized system that does cron jobs and has a synchronized clock. As weird as it sounds, adding random 0-59.999s delays to cron jobs in Linux distributions and other software would actually help the power grid.

Mystery of 60-Second Fluctuations in Power Grids Solved Why do our grids show a brief spike in electricity demand every minute? A team led by Dirk Witthaut from Forschungszentrum Jülich has now demonstrated that this is due to regular power checks carried out by large-scale battery storage systems. These findings could help to make our electricity supply more robust, as the team reports in an article published in Nature Energy. www.fz-juelich.de

和 Steam 验证器搏斗了半小时,终于通过邮箱 + Recovery Code 移除了验证。​:bgm38:​
手机验证在玩 rom 的时候早就扔了,而且神秘风控让我收不到短信验证码
我再也不开手机验证器了。或许密码+邮箱二步验证足够。

@samhou 之前我也为了移除这个搏斗了一阵,后来听说好像可以用一个十几年前版本的app adb backup出里面的totp secret,或是桌面版的steam authenticator好像也可以挖出来

RE: https://mstdn.social/@MCDuncanLab/117531939009503540

In the past month I have pointed two wrong chemical structures in ACS journal figures. One published, one manuscript in review. If you use AI to make figures, at least check

MCDuncanLab (@MCDuncanLab@mstdn.social) Well, that was sad. Helping a novice scientist with their presentation and every single illustration is AI generated. They acknowledged that the images were not what they wanted but they don't know how to do illustrations. I asked whether their lab had a bank of illustrator files or old ppts that they could take illustrations from and they were uncertain. OK lab heads, if you don't want your labbies using bad AI illustrations, provide them with something else. mstdn.social
