How NVIDIA GB10 CPU Performance Compares To Vera
Since delivering NVIDIA Vera CPU benchmarks one month ago and follow-ups like how the ARM Linux server performance has evolved in 8 years or how Vera compares to Ampere Altra that is still quite common in the marketplace, another frequent discussion point and inquiry is about the performance of NVIDIA Vera relative to NVIDIA’s GB10 chip. For those curious about the per-core performance and the like, here are some benchmarks of the GB10 up against those initial Vera resul … ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh my goodness, what an adventure, hahaha! :-) https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-06-25/0/POSTING-en.html

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon section numbers are not really needed for articles. But if you number them, the anchors should probably not contain the section number, just the title. Especially for articles that may receive updates.

It’s probably another story for specifications. They’re kinda fixed and thus I found it useful in the past to include the section numbers in the anchors, so they show up in URLs when linking to specific sections. W3C RFCs only include the numbering in the anchors. This makes URLs fairly short, but it would be also nice to directly see what kind of section that URL actually links to.

@thecanine@twtxt.net I don’t know if the Dinosaurs TV series is a meme, but this cute thing surely reminds me of that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right. A Go programmer eventually knows that its nanoseconds precision. Keyword arguments like in Python are just sooo superior to unnamed positional arguments. I wish that Go had them, too.

We went to the source of the river Fils this evening. I couldn’t believe it, but as I was promised, there were just 20°C. That was super nice. Almost chilly. We only met two others with their three dogs right at the beginning and had everything to our own. We enjoyed the firefly and bat show on a bench. Now back in town and the temps are cooking at 27°C. Fuck me!

It was already fairly dark for my camera, so all the photos are even more blurry than usual. Sorry!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mhm, yeah, I also think I like date := time.Date(2026, time.June, 19, /**/ 17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC) the most. 🤔 (My only gripe with this is that it isn’t obvious whether the third 0 is milli-, micro- or nanoseconds. These days it’s probably nanoseconds, but you never know.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I admit, it’s something different in the pitch dark. Noises are a hell lot more eery. I do wince every now and then, too. :-)
