Looks like max 50GS/s per their site. That also looks reasonable with the screenshot they have in the article showing 1ns / div horiz. But clarity on the data would be lovely. =)

Actually I take it back: For the series 6B spec page... Real-time: 50 GS/s (2 channels), 25 GS/s (4 channels), 12.5 GS/s (> 4 channels) Interpolated: 2.5 TS/s

Yeah, I used to work at Tektronix, this looks like an A unit.

Also, the 50GS/s is actually more like 25GS/s as it has a Nyquist frequency of 12.5 GHz. This is because they take 2 samples at the same time, instead of 180 degrees out of phase. I wish they had made that clearer to customers, it felt misleading to some.

Rob Pike and I (and probably most of us) work(ed) on different kind of things.

Notice my use of the word "Novelty".

I get hired because I'm very good at building specific kinds of systems so I tend to build many variants of the same kinds of systems. They are generally not that different and the ways in which the applications perform are similar.

I do not generally write new algorithms, operating systems, nor programming languages.

I don't think this is so hard to understand the nuance of Pike's advice and what we "mortals" do in or day-to-day to earn a living.

Can't be but so obvious if the first comment I saw here was that the first two rules didn't seem so important. =)

Looking at the comparison btw M class machines and the Minisforum MS-R1 that is the same chip, I'm not sure Apple is being proved wrong here.

How is CIX CP8180 the same chip as any of the Apple M chips?.

Also, a very different approach to GPU.

Toyota Sienna == Toyota Highlander

It's all the exact same chassis, drive, suspension, pretty much you name it except the doors and body style. So that's not quite true...

I eagerly await being able to play it on Steam and iOS/Play. =)

Ok fair, but in that case isn't it missing the words "I think" prepended to the factual assertion.

As in: I think it's missing the words "I think" from that statement. (Which is educated speculation on the statement that has yet to be rigorously explored)

40% is a rounding error? I hope not ;) (edit, fine 34%... but I'll say THAT might be a rounding error grin)

I said specifically it's not a rounding error. You would, at minimum, round to the nearest hundred million years, which was done.

No. First, if the best known number is 66 mya, why throw away almost all the precision and call it 100 mya?

Second, the number it was being compared to in roenxi's comment was 9 million years, not 4 billion years.

So, yes, it is in fact a rounding error.

;-)

As numbers get bigger the amount of rounding gets more acceptable. 100 to 101 is as 1e100 to 1e101, despite te latter technically being off by 90%.

I think 100mya is perfectly fine. It doesn't undermine the point and this isn't trivia I plan to remember more accurately than that.

Huh, I just disabled it in Preferences and kept on rolling. This is the other viable option: Settings->Pointer->General and disable cmd-click opens filename/URL.

I enabled it because github's "turn this push into a PR" link is such a timesaver.

Yeah, that would be convenient. It feels like users do get the power to choose utility (enable) vs skeeved out (disable), which is all you can ask for =)

Completely unrealistic… more constructive to recommend melting them down and re-casting/machining =)
