Please, just stop. The engineers I've talked to did not misread the leaks and found non public information confirming it. The diffie-hellman stuff has explicit evidence in the leaks. Yes, the Utah data center is newer than the leaks.

Eh, they call TypeScript a tier 1 language too.

It's also only 45 frames uncompressed at 4k. It's remarkably easy to hit that if your base assets are mostly raster rather than vector for a dynamic scene. Obviously, they should try harder, and this is an explanation rather than

Microsoft explicitly de-emphasized Java in favor of C# after their J++ lawsuit. That's why they created C# in fact. Python for windows application development never really got there and is kind of a technically runs if you want to run

I think there's a chain of trust. The sensor signs raws, and the private cloud takes signed raws, does minimal processing so they're at least coherent, and re signs that output (maybe even including the original signed raw as wel

Calling everything "whatabouting" when someone is just responding and expanding context to an existing comparison is what's actually last decade.

Optimized != optimal Optimal means there aren't any optimizations possible remaining. Are you seriously going to suggest that there aren't any potential optimizations left in the iPhone's mainboard?

So, then how are today's pcb layout techs solving these Np-hard problems in your mind, armed only with Altium?

Well, no, it's not. If anything, it's closer to the bin packing problem. The cost function isn't expressed in terms of lowest cost between nodes, but instead fitting all of the traces with the lowest board layer count while

They're also NP-hard for the humans doing the majority of the work currently, meaning that good enough heuristics dominate as it is.

The model works pretty well up to much larger systems than you'd expect. If a particular interrupt has a hard real time constraint, it sounds like a great candidate for a higher priority interrupt which will let it meet that requiremen

Mostly tons of speculative state that needs to be unwound, combined with spectre mitigations, plus tons of committed state that the interrupt prologue needs to save, plus a huge song and dance to do that correctly (that FRED should help wit

I've found that it doesn't matter except for something that you want at the absolute highest priority anyway, which then by definition doesn't need to jump through the same hoops because nothing can preempt it anyway.
21.
by monocasa 14d ago
FWIW, just having a mask in the interrupt controller is normally enough to give you the same thing at the cost of a dozen or so cycles in the critical path. Basically you just keep a mask per priority that can be built up cheaply at init t

They're real fun. I'm building a vacuum tube computer and want to use some somewhere, even though everything I've come up with is very shoehorned in. Best I've come up with is showing progress in the reset sequence. Alt

This project uses the same AG1171 SLIC module; it's just not enough by itself and still requires a microcontroller (or at least non trivial logic) even before you get to processing the audio streams.

Edu saas is some of the worst crap I've ever had to deal with. It's one of those unfortunate cases of procurement not involving anyone who actually has to use it. I could absolutely see a combo of a super short session timeout wh

Eh, I think we're going to run into the same issues we're seeing in software. That is, junior and lower status positions (so SDETs in software, paralegals in law) are rapidly being downsized, and that's going to have a big i

Texas was bussing the Venezuelan migrants out of state to blue cities and pocketing a lot of the money that was to be used for integrating the migrants. That's how places like Denver ended up with 40k Venezuelan migrants and little f

Basically for Telum II, (I don't know what changed here from Telum III, the core under discussion with the ARM decoders) each CPU core has a giant 36MB L2 cache. Then, rather than a discrete L3 cache, the cores keep track of L2 reside

And in fact it was basically a Cell PPE with a larger vector unit strapped to the side of it.
