Although I am rooting for Intel, the leadership is just not an execution machine. Pat is a very good CEO, and he understands technology as much as the business. But the next level simply doesn’t have that charisma to deliver. I wouldn’t be

I don’t get it. If security is so important, then it should be okay to sacrifice performance. Why is there such inertia in accepting this? If security is all that is needed, get an in order completely non speculative core with no branch pre

Wow the guys in the newsroom didn’t believe what they were saying and still said it. If there was a word for journalistic non-integrity, I’m searching for it now.

I have always found myself more engrossed and wanting to run if I have a great podcast series or a great audiobook to listen to. Lately haven’t been getting any good recommendations and feeling like it is a chore to run. Maybe having a bet

As someone from India, this is far more acceptable than the alternative. Folks around my age just got married before or during the pandemic and as most of us had moved back home (people travel to Bangalore to work although there are decent

Something I learned to do is to only water the leaves (ie make them wet). And if the soil is very dry, to pour water directly to the roots. My reasoning being that rain unless it is heavy, doesn't actually reach the soil directly and t

Nah.. That's how much they get paid. The consulting company will charge about 5-10x for this resource though. (source from a friend who was there)

You really need to look a little more at Jim and his style. He has been around from the time of DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation). And has been a great engineer. But what sets him apart is not his technical competence, but his ability to

So, there are 2 teams. 1 is in traditional computer architecture (OoO, Branch prediction, memory, prefetchers etc) and the other is in AI/ML accelerators. If you have AI/ML software engineering experience, I would encourage you to

Wow. Now it makes sense. When I told my first client I wanted to increase rate after finishing a basic prototype (which was the full scope of the project), he ghosted and left me a bad review on Upwork. Well, all in the game..

Optane will be seen as a really big main memory by the OS and that's it. So, I don't get why there will be severe changes in software..
