Memory is slow, Disk is fast – Part 1

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-20 09:50:01

TL;DR Hardware got wider, not faster. More cores, more bandwidth, huge vector units — but clocks, IPC, and latency flatlined. Old rules like “memory is faster than disk” are breaking. To go fast today, you have to play the new game. “CPUs keep getting faster every generation” Over the past 20 years or so computer hardware has evolved such that some facts we “know” about computers are wrong. Even among computer scientists, or perhaps especially among computer scientists, intuitions are off tar

Drew Barrymore Wants To Remake Cult Horror Comedy ‘Death Becomes Her’ With Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-10-24 05:59:53

Hollywood remakes—be they sequels or reboots—are so extremely in vogue that they verge on being among the only movies that seem to get made these days. So it makes sense that Drew Barrymore is soft-pitching a remake of the 1992 cult classic dark horror comedy film, Death Becomes Her. Speaking on her eponymous talk show, Barrymore said she wants to work with friends Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler to revive a bunch of older films. And chief among them is Back to the Future director Robert Zeme

Slate Auto’s sub-$30,000 EV pickup is due next year—here’s the factory

WARSAW, INDIANA—The Blank Slate pickup scratches a particular itch for some, fulfilling the desire for an EV powertrain without all the bells and whistles associated with a modern vehicle.

Why the Pixel 10’s UFS 4.0 storage upgrade won’t actually speed things up

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Our Pixel 10 AMA was filled with great questions, but a couple of them stood out to me regarding the upgrade to UFS 4.0 storage. If you missed the news, Google has finally ditched the aging UFS 3.1 flash storage type for the far more impressive data speeds of UFS 4.0 and Zoned UFS (ZUFS) technology to improve age-related wear and tear. That is, as long as your new phone has 256GB of storage or more. The 128GB Pixel 10 and 10 Pro still have UFS 3.1 memory, just

JBL’s Grip Is the Tallboy of Portable Bluetooth Speakers

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-24 14:00:01

I’ve seen a lot of influences for wireless audio products (single-use pill packaging and cassette tapes, for example), but JBL’s Grip is a first. According to JBL, the Grip, a new smallish Bluetooth speaker announced at IFA 2025 that focuses on portability, is modeled after the proportions of a seltzer can. To be honest, my first thought was a tallboy, but maybe that says more about me than it does JBL. No matter what you think of when you see the Grip, it sounds like a solid Bluetooth speaker

India’s Offgrid raises $15M to make lithium optional for battery storage

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-10-24 22:30:00

Lithium has become the default choice for battery-powered systems, but its limitations — from volatile supply chains to short lifespans — are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Offgrid Energy Labs, a deep-tech startup based in India, wants to make lithium less central, especially when it comes to battery storage. The seven-year-old startup, incubated at IIT Kanpur, has developed a proprietary zinc-bromine-based battery system as an alternative to lithium-ion technology. Called ZincGel,

New Galaxy S26 Edge battery leak keeps piling on the bad news

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might be the most polarizing Android phone of 2025. The device has a very slim and light design, but this form factor comes at the expense of battery life.
