However, peace is an internal state of being, and it’s always there. It’s just that if you don’t visit often, it’s easy

So why doesn’t Apple increase the clock frequency too? Because higher clock frequency makes the chips hotter. That is one of Apple’s key selling points. Their computers — unlike Intel and AMD offerings — barely need cooling.

As far as I remember from performance benchmarks the newest AMD CPU cores, the ones called Zen3 are slightly faster than Firestorm cores. But here is the kicker, that only happens because the Zen3 cores are clocked at 5 GHz. Firestorm cores are clocked at 3.2 GHz. The Zen3 is just barely squeezing past Firestorm despite having almost 60% higher clock frequency.

If it helps, meditate on the image above for a few moments. What does that feel like? Close your eyes and really imagine it there inside you, an infinite well of calm waters.

The brute force way Intel and AMD deal with this is by simply attempting to decode instructions at every possible starting point. That means we have to deal with lots of wrong guesses and mistakes which has to be discarded. This creates such a convoluted and complicated decoder stage that it is really hard to add more decoders. But for Apple, it is trivial in comparison to keep adding more.

Then the next time you are rushing at work or on a crowded bus or anywhere that seems to be shifting your flow, pause. Allow yourself a moment to recall that feeling of stillness, let everything around you fade away as you imagine the undisturbed, cool, calm center of your being, and breathe.

A bunch of excited (and confused!) folks have reached out for advice as they think through possibly joining government service. I’m juggling a few things at the moment, so wanted to share my high-level advice. If you need more advice, search some of these terms on twitter to find lots of folks working on these issues who are super friendly and helpful!

n that lethal radiation could extend out a quarter mile from the point of detonation. That means with the use of the M-28, you only had a mile of wiggle room to play with when launching a nuclear warhead in order to not damage friendly troops.

This work is… not easy. The best way to prepare to make it through a day where you realize that a single person is the only thing keeping a critical system serving Veterans running is to make sure the end goal you’re working toward is close to your heart. To know what you care about, you don’t need to know anything about the structure of government. Are you worried about housing? Poverty? Corporate criminals running amok?

Imagine quiet, steady waves lapping at the shore of a small lake. Now imagine the waves suddenly growing loud, crashing against the wet sand, the surface of the water wild in an instant. A speedboat has passed.

And this is where we see the huge differences. The biggest, baddest Intel and AMD microprocessor cores have four decoders, which means they can decode four instructions in parallel spitting out micro-ops.

In essence, one could say Firestorm cores really are superior to Zen3 cores. Zen3 only manages to stay in the game by drawing a lot more current and getting a lot hotter. Something Apple simply chooses not to do.

But Apple has a crazy eight decoders. Not only that but the ROB is something like three times larger. You can basically hold three times as many instructions. No other mainstream chipmaker has that many decoders in their CPUs.

But that doesn’t help Intel or AMD, because even if those 15 byte long instructions are rare, the decoders have to be made to handle them. This incurs complexity that blocks AMD and Intel from adding more decoders.

One could argue as a counterpoint that CISC instructions turn into more micro-ops, that they are denser so that, for example, decoding one x86 instruction is more similar to decoding say two ARM instructions.
