You Can't Afford to Be Fooled by the Chase Sapphire Reserve's Apple Perks and 100K Bonus

Chase/CNET The Chase Sapphire Reserve®* has several new annual credits and features, like an Apple Plus and Apple Music membership, valued at $250 a year (ends June 22, 2027). Chase updated the card last week, and all the details sound good on paper (aside from the higher $795 annual fee), but there are some fine-print changes that aren't so great. Cardholders will now have to do more work to get enough value from the card to cover its cost. That likely means the average credit-cardholder won'

In this article, I will try to explain what this is all about, namely on how a provenance model for pointers interferes with alias analysis of modern compilers. For those that are not fluent with the terminology or the concept we have a short intro what pointer aliasing is all about , a review of existing tools to help the compiler and inherent difficulties and then the proposed model itself . At the end there is a brief takeaway that explains how to generally avoid complications and loss of opt

Chase Sapphire Reserve Launches New $250 Apple Perk. I’m Not Falling for It

Chase/CNET The Chase Sapphire Reserve®* was updated earlier this week and now includes a number of new annual credits and other features, including an Apple Plus and Apple Music membership, valued at $250 annually (ends June 22, 2027). Chase also upped the card's annual fee. It now costs $795 annually, so you'll have to do more legwork to get enough value from the card to cover the cost. That likely means the average credit card user won't even want to consider this as an option. Which is fair

How much slower is random access, really?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-29 06:49:31

by Sam Estep, 2025-06-23 You may know that, because your computer has different caches (L1, L2, L3...), and memory operations operate on cache lines of about 64 bytes each, you should write programs that exhibit locality to get maximum performance.

Iroh: A library to establish direct connection between peers

You say “connect to that phone”, iroh will find & maintain the fastest connection for you, regardless of where it is. The fastest route is a direct connection, so if necessary, iroh tries to hole-punch. Should this fail, it can fall back to an open ecosystem of public relay servers. To ensure these connections are as fast as possible, we continuously measure iroh. Built on QUIC Iroh uses Quinn to estab

Chase/CNET The Chase Sapphire Reserve®* is well-known among travel enthusiasts and average credit card users as a great travel credit card. However, its accessibility to the former crowd is likely to change. The Sapphire Reserve was an expensive card before Chase's recent update at $550 annually, but it now costs $795, which is even more than its top competitor, The Platinum Card® from American Express. Aside from the higher fee, the biggest changes to the card are a greater emphasis on annua

How to store Go pointers from assembly

news.ycombinator.com Francesco Mazzoli 2025-09-09 15:40:24

2025-06-23 How to store Go pointers from assembly The standard Go toolchain comes with an assembler out of the box. Said assembler is highly idiosyncratic, using syntax inherited from Plan 9 and choosing its own names for platform-specific instructions and registers. But it’s great to have it readily available. More mundanely, Go comes with a garbage collector. This post explains how to make these two components play nice, if we want to manipulate Go pointers from our assembly. Preamble: Go’s

Homotopy Equivalences

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-07 08:56:06

Previously: Fibrations and Cofibrations. In topology, we say that two shapes are the same if there is a homeomorphism– an invertible continuous map– between them. Continuity means that nothing is broken and nothing is glued together. This is how we can turn a coffe cup into a torus. A homeomorphism, however, won’t let us shrink a torus to a circle. So if we are only interested in how many holes the shapes have, we have to relax our notion of equivalence. Let’s go back to the definition of home

Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos. Overview We introduce AllTracker: a model that estimates long-range point tracks by way of estimating the flow field between a query frame and every other frame of a video. Unlike existing point tracking methods, our approach delivers high-resolution and dense (all-pixel) correspondence fields, which can be visualized as flow maps. Unlike existing optical flow methods, our approach corresponds one frame to hundreds of subsequent frames, rath
