Apperently the M2 #apple #silicon is pretty #battery #efficient https://youtube.com/watch?v=P0h8q6D0s74 It's great that there is someone else in the #cpu space, but terrible that it is #apple ...
Whilst #stablediffusion is #complex and works, I #suspect it could be done more #efficient https://jalammar.github.io/illustrated-s.. Excellent #description and #stepbystep #explanation in this #blog anyway.
Very cool that you can potentially #grow #plants from the #lighting from a single #watt of #power https://hackaday.com/2022/10/31/a-single.. Potentially mass scale #hydroponics could be really quite #energy #efficient .
#magnetic #gears are pretty cool, I never considered this: https://hackaday.com/2022/09/02/magnetic.. I wonder how #small and #efficient this can be made?
Surprise, C is one of the most #energy #efficient #languages out there: https://hackaday.com/2021/11/18/c-is-the.. C generally scores well on #time , #memory and #energy ...
Just a #reminder that #sorting can be super easy (in terms of #algorithm #complexity ): https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.01111 Of course, it's not that #efficient ... But there could be a lot of #opportunity to run it in #parallel or make #domain specific #shortcuts ... As the #hackernews #comments point out, it's been #discovered many times before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=287.. Could be really fun to take a look at this at a later date!
Looks like w3c are #rejecting a #proposal for #unique #decentralized #id 's: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/pub.. Apparently this is on the basis that it is not #energy #efficient due to the use of #blockchain - I somewhat have to agree. *Anything* that relies on blockchain will eventually grow to an #unsustainable #size , #computation or both. #proofofwork is simply not going to cut it.
