Efficient Computer's Electron E1 CPU – 100x more efficient than Arm?

news.ycombinator.com Dr. Ian Cutress 2026-01-04 18:30:44

We've been building general-purpose CPUs wrong for decades, apparently. That's the bold claim from Efficient Computer, a new startup stepping into the embedded market with their Electron E1 chip. For too long, our processors have been stuck in a control flow model, constantly shuffling data back and forth between caches, memory, and compute units – a process I think we can all agree that burns significant energy at every step.

Never write your own date parsing library

news.ycombinator.com Zach Leatherman 2026-01-04 20:36:25

Never write your own date parsing library. Never. No exceptions. Never have I ever… So… I’ve written my own date parsing library. Why? Our story begins seven years ago in the year 2018. I made the very sensible choice to adopt luxon as the Date Parsing library for Eleventy. This parsing behavior is used when Eleventy finds a String for the date value in the Data Cascade (though YAML front matter will bypass this behavior when encountering a YAML-compatible date). This choice was good for El

Delta’s AI spying to “jack up” prices must be banned, lawmakers say

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-04 21:13:52

One week after Delta announced it is expanding a test using artificial intelligence to charge different prices based on customers' personal data—which critics fear could end cheap flights forever—Democratic lawmakers have moved to ban what they consider predatory surveillance pricing. In a press release, Reps. Greg Casar (D-Texas) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) announced the Stop AI Price Gouging and Wage Fixing Act. The law directly bans companies from using "surveillance-based" price or wage set

How to configure X11 in a simple way

Speaking about xrandr . I tried some GUI applications, like arandr, to switch between various multimonitor configurations — but found that they all are using just a limited subset of xrandr features.

Elon Musk Swipes Back at Trump After Apparent Peace Offering

Yesterday, President Trump seemed to offer an olive branch to his former “first buddy,” Elon Musk, amidst their ongoing spat. In a post made to Truth Social, Trump claimed that he didn’t wish any harm on Elon or his businesses. “Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon’s companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large-scale subsidies he receives from the U.S. Government. This is not so! I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before!”
