I agree. Most articles seems to be about VMS. I want to use cgroups and namespace to manange apps I use daily and that can be easily compromised. Things like, neovim plugins, the t…

Isn't the training done at FP32 and quantized aftweards? Not that this would make this GPU more appealing. The FP32 performance isn't great either. The memory bandwidth seems prett…

Alcohol has long shelf life, can be easily produced at large scale, etc. Selling flower buds of a plant will hardly be accessible. But the industry will eventually find a way to ma…

> Toxic distilled alcohol isn't. Do you realize this ideia of poison alcohol was propaganda done by the government during prohibition, right? We know how to distill from millennium…

Looks neat. I've though about using tree-sitter DSL to generate zsh completion. Your project seems to be a better candidate for this. Tree-sitter DSL, with some extra annotations, …

In some countries "piracy" of itens you own is a gray area, because in the past you could make copies of medias, such tapes, as backup.

I hate how complex it to write a decent zsh completion. It is not something you can realistic do in a weekend. You can implement a simple one without much effort. But doing anythin…

I think their previous design was counter intuitive and we just got used to it. The changes they made actually makes more sense to new users. For example. In the past, they used fi…

I don't think calling her neonazi is fair.

Standing ground, specially when we are wrong, helps to learn a lot more about the subject.

I don't think you are completly wrong. For instance, last year there was a whole debacle at one of those top conferences because someone from nvidia, that was in the board of this …

The comparison of power usage is often done in the context of external memory. When talking about in-chip memory it becames an apples to orange comparison. For start, it doesn't ma…

The parent post used the number of papers at the top conferences in their respectives fields. It means they are unquestionably pushing the state of art fowards. Or the system is co…

Memory cells are the thing that uses the vast majority of power in a CPU. And they are used everywhere, cache, uOP cache, BTB, etc. Async CPU solved a problem that would have margi…

Scientific notation IS a floating point.

The least controversial post of the year. Well deserved.

> think also companies owning private prisons push anti-legalization propaganda. As they say, just follow the money... There is way more propaganda in favor of legalization. And mo…

Good point. But doing two concurrenct desing would allow as backups for failures not in the telescope itself. For things like lauch, assembly, handling, etc. If everything goes as …

Were they made togheter? I think the spy hubbles are better examples. Can you imagine the added complexity for the Hubble design for it to work as space observatory or earth observ…

Network application. The CPU probably works on just one endianess and convert the data format when reading from memory. The overhead is on kepping track when to do it. But Im specu…

Most company can't afford to make custom chip at 7 nm. The IBM Power is one implementation of the Power ISA. The chips used on the mars rovers and nintendo Wii as ppc as well.

They are target at datacenters. The last iteration has hardware support to decimal floating point, flexible IO (DDR3, DDR4, DDR5. GDDR6, HBM, PCI5, nvlink), Cores with SMT8, Tbps i…

The main goal is to keep them (and their knowledge) in America.

PDF only became open in 2008 and its doing pretty well.
