Are you referring to the ballpark "specifications" in the article? If so, I don't know of any material that can withstand the stresses of the weights and speeds mentioned in it ... unless you are going for really low wing loa

Current inflation is mostly supply-side driven. Having said that, M2's biggest jump in its history was in early 2020 (see https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2SL ). Its slope before and after is more or less the sa

It also looks like that study is still in the peer review process. It has the "Accepted Manuscript" flag ( https://academic.oup.com/aje/pages/Instructions_To_Authors ) and has at least one major error, ht

I was referring to the RTL-based IP that goes into each subsystem of the CPU, hence the analogy to code. You're talking about compiler instruction scheduling, a lot of which are a bunch of non-AI algorithms. If I'm missing somethi

IIRC, the data structure that they used was not thread-safe. There eventually had to be an interlocked compare exchange operation which slowed throughput. Also, I couldn't imagine this working correctly in out-of-order cores without me

It's been a while, but didn't the performance turn out to be similar to other data structures in multi-socket scenarios because it requires interlocked -type instructions?
