If it requires physically contiguous RAM to work, then it's not really participating in the full virtual memory system, really. It would be using an exception to it, that can be accommodated to some extent by the OS, but not sitting in

Maybe. The use cases have always been around FP arithmetic over arrays, because that's what is easy to parallelize. I saw a standalone systolic array box attached to a MicroVAX circa 1990. Lots of PIM approaches in the mid-90s, too, bu

What does "watch your arguments" even mean? It's just "Dont say anything I disagree with" with a threatening tone.

Thanks for this. RISC-V brings out the armchair critics for some reason.

I love how there's a section called "The SuperML Take" when the whole thing is obviously written start to finish by Claude or GPT. I'll save you a click: it'd be bad if you can no longer choose what underlying model

Well, VHDL was heavily based on Ada.

That's certainly an interesting data point, but it was a 90 minute programming contest, not peer-reviewed research.

They weren't exotic, they just weren't part of your writing style The reason "--" autocorrects to an em dash in practically any word processing software (not talking about browsers) is that that's the accepted way

Complexity of the fab processes is isn't what the parent was talking about. They're talking about the major changes in the relationship between fabless semiconductor companies and commercial foundries. The complexity of actual fab

The site looks nice, but I think you'd benefit from having some beta testers who are not familiar with HW design already. I mention a few issues below, which I hope you take as constructive suggestions of how to improve the site, and n

You are buried in the details. The guy is a hero who opposed a fascist takeover of the US government. He's not going to have any difficulty finding employment.

Yeah, this made me laugh. The chip industry spends literally billions of dollars each year on simulation and formal verification tools.

I had a CS professor as an undergrad who would teach a couple of advanced seminars in his own research area. His approach to those simplifications was to announce, "I'm going to lie to you now, but just go with it and I promise t

According to this link, Paulo Coelho has a net worth of over $500 million and didn't get there by giving away books, so perhaps your example is not well-chosen. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/how-rich-are-jk-rowli

Pretty presumptuous to tell someone that they shouldn't be paid for their life's work, and then to tell them they should be happy someone pirated it. For the exposure!

At the top of the readme it says "There will be no attempt at making this synthesizable (at this time)!".

Yes, the site and the video are complete vaporware. But from the examples, it sounds they are targeting architectural and RTL-level design. There's no indication that they are trying to replace the physical design flow. So it wouldn&#x

I hope we get more concrete information on this. It's very concerning if verified, especially with the Spain and Portugal blackout being so recent. Remote bricking has already happened on a small scale through normal internet connectiv

Do any of those techniques use unmodified DRAM or are you talking about processor-in-memory approaches?

PP above says working on a grounds crew was their favorite job ever. I think that's what they're talking about.

To allow the sender to set the TTL, right? Without adding another field to the packet header. If you count up from zero, then you'd also have to include in every packet how high it can go, so that a router has enough info to decide if

"Suárez, a 33-year-old native of Caracas, Venezuela" is in the second sentence of the Mother Jones article. He is not a Salvadoran citizen, he's been sent to a third country by the US.

Here's the thing, there's never going to be convincing evidence for you to decide that it wasn't what your hunch said it was. That's the nature of suspicion. You could Google "national plant services van" on im

This is really interesting just for the details on the microcode mechanisms inside the chip (and there's a link to similar research on Intel chips.)

Over on Android it's the opposite situation. The voice interface to Google Assistant was very reliable for simple things like reminders and appointments, and even for general knowledge questions. It was part of why I didn't switch

Just to be clear that's a similar story about a different university (University of Pennsylvania vs. University of Pittsburgh).

The purpose of firing Inspectors General en masse is so that there are no independent overseers to investigate illegal or corrupt actions within the executive branch during your term in office. Reversing it four years later is just too late

There's a famous annotated version of Unix V6 that falls into this category. I heard that it had copyright issues for years, though. It'd be interesting to see people write more of these about open source code. https://
