The water use comes from evaporative cooling, not liquid cooling. Liquid cooling pulls heat away from the chips. Evaporative cooling takes it out of the building. There are alternatives, but evaporative cooling is very energy efficient.

They count as a different type of failure. We knew what to do but screwed up hard is a operational failure and we didn't plan for it is a design/planning failure. The people who are hurt might not care, but understanding the root

Are these the current prices or the prices at the time the models were released?

They had contracts which forced them to buy Global Foundries even lasting into Zen 2 (I believe they used it with the IO die).

Layoffs might have to with what a person is working (project is no longer business priority, just cutting based on performance might lead to delays) or what team a person is working on (whole org gets the axe).

How is 1 false? Log improvement means for 10x the cost the model is 2x as good. For 100x the cost, the model is 3x as good. Not a curve to be happy about TBH. You need to simultaneously find big efficiency wins and drive up costs substantia

Around the time the CoC was being established, Linus went to therapy. If I recall correctly, some people had spoke to him about his behaviors and he decided to do something about it. I think it was done in private so it's unclear how m

Go very much is memory safe in the absence of data races. Data races cause issues in all languages, though it's fair to say that Go is affected slightly more than languages like Java. Rust is a bit special by making data races hard to

ICEs have a lot of advantages that make them much better suited than EVs to certain tasks (extreme climates and remote locations, for example). They will likely stick around for niche use cases (at least) for quite a long time. As for why P

The chances of getting Nouveau working well on older Nvidia hardware are essentially zero. There are legal issues with firmware redistribution. > Little hope of reclocking becoming available for GM20x, GP10x and GV100 as firmware now nee

Which regressions for Nvidia hardware are you talking about? Nouveau supports seriously ancient Nvidia hardware. It's perfectly reasonable to make a clean break once in a while (both AMD and Intel have done it in their open source driv

The kernel driver manages things like display setup, memory management (isolation between processes), and funneling of commands from user space to the hardware. This is more a replacement for Nouveau than NVK. NVK generates the commands to

The problem with Nouveau was that Nvidia hardware could not be reclocked (the cores were basically always in low power mode) without a signed firmware blob. That blob couldn't be legally distributed except by Nvidia, so the open source

I'm sure this depends on engineering culture, but at Google, where Go was born, there is "one way to write C++" and that is dictated by the style guide. You have to learn many restrictions, a number of which feel arbitrary&#x

Not sure early versions of rust is the best example of refcounting overhead. There are a bunch of tricks you can use to decrease that, and it usually doesn't make sense to invest too much time into that type of thing while there is so
