Hi #fediverse. -
Is there single/multicore benchmark for CPUs that makes current-generation CPUs comparable with stuff from say the mid-90s onwards?@thomasfuchs It looks like a few people have submitted Geekbench 2 scores from M4 Mac minis. https://browser.geekbench.com/geekbench2/search?q=PowerMac10%2C2 vs. https://browser.geekbench.com/geekbench2/search?q=Mac16%2C10 would seem to show that a 10-core M4 is ~30 times faster than a 1.5 GHz G4. That sounds impressive at first blush, but that would mean that it's only three times faster per core, which is obviously wrong. Rosetta 2 would account for some of that, but not all of it.

There's a lot of discourse on Twitter about people using LLMs to solve CTF challenges.@lina Yeah, of course – and in reverse, I'm sure online competitive programming competitions are staring down the barrel of the same problem!

There's a lot of discourse on Twitter about people using LLMs to solve CTF challenges.@lina For in-person CTF competitions, would it be possible to do like programming competitions (specifically thinking of ACM ICPC) and disallow Internet access entirely? That would at least limit GenAI use to local models, which I suspect will remain uncompetitive at this sort of task for a very long time (due to the nearly inherent context size limitations).
