DVI is a very large spec. It supports everything from pure VGA over it's analog pins as well as full fledged HDMI (its actually the other way around, HDMI is secretly just DVI). Finding monitors which support all of the simpler modes i

the reason for the change to GPL in 5.9: https://lwn.net/Articles/827596/ it's a little frustrating that things which used to be kosher, like nvidia and nvidia_uvm linking are all of a sudden not because they

RISC-V is inherently a customizable ISA though, whereas ARM implementations are very specific about what they require to be called an "ARM processor". This wouldnt change from this acq.

by jshap70 6y ago
no. they're isolated for a reason, with the RISC-V processor being used as the controller to manage the behavior of the other parts of the chip. beyond just licensing ARM is expensive because it's required to implement a lot. With

you do realize that Nvidia is a major backer of RISC-V and already uses it on GPU's Turing and newer?

> GPUs are generally black boxes that you throw code at. umm... what? what does that even mean? lol I could kind of maybe begin understand your argument from the Graphics side, as users mostly interact with it at an API level, however ke

You also inherit an entire chain of trust over code you yourself didn't write nor did anyone actually validate. The issue with leftpad.js wasn't that it was stupid, it was that it was dangerous.

there's a really interesting story around Lauda Air flight 004 where Boeing attempted to write it off as pilot error but Niki Lauda basically threatened to go fly one himself and recreate the conditions as proof it was not. Eventually

yeah... I don't know what numbers you're looking at but that's not true in the general case. and this isn't firmware, it's microcode. firmware is already on the chip. microcode is used so the os can take advantage o

by jshap70 8y ago
because there's a lot of proprietary stuff in microcode that's used for accelerations. gfx drivers too. it's the reason the closed amd drivers are so much faster than the open mesa ones.

by jshap70 8y ago
you talk about enabling signed firmware like it was done for a proprietary reason and not a massive security one. take a look at the fake Pascal gpu's on ebay where people are flashing unsigned firmware to old Fermi cards to fake windo

full disclosure that I work for nvidia, but not on drivers. many driver devs internally do actually contribute to nouveau as well. please don't make baseless claims simply because you're angry.

by jshap70 8y ago
you've talked about that before, "we very often have to do unsafe memory things", and that a lot of things done in game dev end up violating a lot of principles that are taught in college, but to be honest I'm not sure.

seems slow. Having to flush on every swap, I mean. I wonder if there wont be a move away from offering these kinds of offers: if offering 0.2 of a core means putting in 0.3 effort, that's a 20-30% drop in how many you can run per core.

`3/2 = 1` is a consistent answer as long as the programmer understands modulo. The way you're phrasing it makes it sound like there are languages out there that say "`3/2 = 2` because 1.5 rounds up to 2". just so lo

I'm not sure that's true. I think they both work, see: https://www.reddit.com/r/u_Shitty_Watercolour/ Maybe one is just an alias though? I wonder if you can make a r/u_$unused_username and then late
