Hydro has a natural limit. After you have put a dam to every river that’s it. And the Swiss aint far from that. There are also cloudy days without much wind, and those are quite harsh during winter. What should one do then? Just shut everyt

Is there any need for that? Just have a few good CPUs there and you’re good to go. As for how the HW looks like we already know. Look at Strix Halo as an example. We are just getting bigger and bigger integrated GPUs. Most of the flops on t

CDNA is based on the older gcn arch so they share the same as pre RDNA ones and RDNA ones.

I tried it out. I asked if it can generate a voice clip. It said it can’t on the chat. I asked it where can it make one. It told me to use Audacity to make one myself. I told it that the advertisement said it could. Now it said yes it can h

They were around $60 or your regional equivalent. This means $140+ today assuming 1990 dollar.

And that is why we use products made by companies in California. Non competes are good for the big incubent companies, but bad for the economy and the workers.

Another issue are non competes. Everyone wants to get a tech sector like California but insist on having non competition agreements being either valid or conditionally valid meaning there is a gray area that stifles innovation.

Inverse fourier transform of a non transformed signal gives you basically the fourier transform with some changes (I can't remember which, were the numbers conjugates or something?). Applying it the second time gives you same result as

Depends on the place. This sort of interoperability is explicitly allowed in the EU.

It was a joke. Obviously there was no contact whatsoever between the two. Gemini basically forces the current US ethnical representation fashions to every situation regardless of how well it fits.

It was extra hilarious when asked to generate a picture of ancient Greek philosopher it made it a Native American. Because it is well known Greeks not only had contact with the new world but also had prominent population of Native Americans

Not just that. It does require Atkinson cycle to reach the efficiencies they have. It just means that the compression stroke is shorter than the power stroke. Basically with that cycle they can get massive compression ratios. As an example

It may be choking on too large of a threadcount. By default Starfield creates as many workerthreads as what you have cores. And it scales really badly. For your setup it likely makes 32 threads like it does on my 16 core Zen4. I limited min

My old iPhone X that’s now a video player for my kids is 7 years old and receives updates as usual. It did not cost $10k.

1) Probability of that is so miniscule as to be nonexistent. I’d suspect foul play at that point. As in someone just transporting the animal there. You can’t really get identical DNA on earth. It’s to be expected that it would be even harde

In 2020 Apple invented unified memory? More seriously people need to stop with the Apple comparisons. Unified memory has been a thing for a way longer time. Heck around 2014 AMD had integrated GPUs with not just unified memory but fully uni

Browser doesn’t really have limitations in that regard. Thus it offers nothing unique in that sense that’s not already in normal windows/whatever desktop platform demos. If some frontend developer would make a demo without using webgl

by sharpneli 3y ago
With browser it’s the bog standard WebGL and now WebGPU. They bring nothing over just doing normal demo using native graphics apis directly. They are good ways to distribute programs for customers but that’s it.

It’s the same mechanism that triggers the game mode in Windows. You can tag a program in the Xbox game bar as a game if it hasn’t recognized it by default.

Even better: Make the train stop right before lights turn red. With careful timing you can wreck the car with no harm to the train.

On that I fully agree. And the reason why scala approach doesn't work is because it's horrendously inefficient. What actually does work at massive scale is the GPU style workload. Intel tried with their Larrabee on what happens if

Not just X86, the older X86. Before Pentium Pro there was not even register renaming. So one was both register starved and the registers you saw where actually the registers you got. Even after that it was still somewhat starved but it alle

One reason is that they are already here. It's just called the GPU which happens to be way more parallel than puny 128 cores. That's a major reason why just bunch of low power CPUs are not really a thing, as they get trashed by GP

AMD has a really weird view on how the programming world works internally. Some years ago they had some ARM server chips. Did they allow people access? No. They only allowed it for "Serious customers" and the whole thing failed as

Does this mean that if I have released some MIT licensed, or contributed to a MIT licensed project, I can just call up a big company and tell them to pay me massive amounts of money now or stop using some product I have contributions in imm

That means the piece of software will work also in the future. Personally I only use python for throwaway scripts. Whatever is written in Python likely won’t work in 10 years anymore. So they’re all lost in time. Whereas I can continue some

That part is bit weird because checking data dependencies is precisely what the OoO does. If that was strict part of what superscalar is then OoO moniker would be redundant. If one doesn't execute things out of order then checking for

The negligent part is relying on npm. If you want reliability then pay for it. Corporations crying about morality is just a smokescreen for them to avoid paying.
