apple: "Out latest laptop has !" consumer, at the store: "why doesn't this thing have !? bring me something that has !!!"

Intel has spent the last 25 years training consumers to look for the "intel inside" sticker. It's the only thing that's kept intel afloat while they butcher their engineering talle…

Guy is an employee of raspi, so of course he's going to write code that ships chips.

No there isn't. Let's take pytorch as an example. CUDA is an API. OpenCL is an API. Pytorch is not. Pytorch is very firmly GLUED to CUDA. It will probably NEVER support anything el…

They are only moving because AMD is finally providing that competition, but it's not fair to say that "if only AMD had gotten their act together sooner, intel would be a better com…

ultimately it was a focus on marketing that led them to kill engineering (if itanium and the many failures and lucky breaks that led up to it hadn't already convinced you that inte…

Honestly, they'd probably be better off if they ditched all the sed/awk/macro BS and just went back to bash scripts (or perl/TCL, if you don't like weird syntax issues) that spat o…

Oh, side note: Safe interps now have available time limits and a few other measures, though it seems memory allocation limits are a harder nut to crack due to all the places a memo…

Still blows my mind that TCL includes a firewall and virtual filesystem layer. https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/firewall https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/VFS https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/…

Continue forever? no. Be performed once at no cost? maybe. I'm kinda sceptical that a computation to which the 2nd law is indifferent would occur spontaneously without immediately …

Congratulations on supplementing one impossible thing we can't do yet with three more. There are very good reasons these artificial hearts are strictly temporary while waiting for …

The heart is massively more efficient. Just about everything in all of biology is massively more efficient. Take a moment to consider that your entire body runs on an energy budget…

Sounds a lot like TCL's Safe interps?

The verifier is mostly targeted at not letting a program run forever.

inside the TB link there's no such thing as "3.0" or "x4" hector goes over this as well, but basically you've replaced all the lower (physical) layers of PCIe's networking stack. i…

bots pay for blue checkmarks, and they'll pay to tweet too. twitter needs the money to stay afloat, and elon doesn't really have a reason to say no his initial concern over bots wa…

Ford knows how to build cars after building them for 100+ years. There's nobody who has ever tried to fly a helicopter on mars before. NASA built in lots of margin to help ensure t…

Drag isn't relevant for a helicopter. Thin air means you have a very hard time just trying to hover in place without moving.

There's an odd dig at the FSF in there that I wish had more context. What must have it been like to watch GNU clone unix, having worked on it?

Nice dodge, but I'm referring to the dumb data-structures mimicking sentient human words.
