The underpinning of information theory is Shannon’s formula for the entropy H of a discrete probability distribution P. Derived in 1948 in the paper “A mathematical theory of communication”, this is given by \[ H[P] = -\sum_{i=1}^N p_i \log p_i \] where \( p_i = p(x_i) \) is the probability of sampling \( x_i \) from…

I had to pause some of my work getting a current-gen AMD graphics card running on the Pi 5 and testing a 192-core AmpereOne server to quickly post on the M4's efficiency. I expected M4 to be better than M1/M2 (I haven't personally tested M3), and I hoped it would at least match the previous total-system-power…
