4080 12GB did its task. It send the gamers a message that do not wait for cheaper 40 series cards go by 30 series now. Now the best thing Nvidia can do is wait until navi 3 has lau…

That 12GB 4080 had compute bit above 3090 ti. But memory bandwidth between 3070 and 3070 ti. If it the cache hit rate is similar to Navi2 of similar size. It would have effective b…

Here's something to consider. The cells that affect sleep are in such direction that the light coming from overhead has highest effect on it. Oh. And about using phones or computer…

Air conditioners are sold out every summer when you would really need one.

It's good day to announce this. People are taking all announcements today very seriously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v53EUMNSdQs

Something about all pages being under limit the limit instead of every page being under the limit changes the exact meaning to something that I cannot agree with. Which was the mea…

The old site looked liked it's exported from org-mode files. New site looks less like that. Probably still done by exporting the same org files in emacs. The workflow to build that…

The use youtubeDL for music would probably fit the fair use in Finland. The fair use allows personal copies of legally licensed material but not redistribution of said copies to th…

That's the Blizzcon 2018 Diablo Immortal reference... Shouldn't take it's literal interpretation as gospel. But overall direction of company seems to be making mobile games for Chi…

Sounds to me that they needed to move people from Starcraft team to making mobile version of Starcraft for the Chinese market. They also recognize, that Starcraft is such a phenome…

Just that new and shiny is here doesn't mean the old system became slower. The compilation improvement of 9%, for me it means that most important thing didn't get significantly fas…

If we split the cycle time in two components, one is transistor and one is interconnect. Interconnect delay per length increases as much as the length decreases in each shrink. The…

On package interconnection latency and power is way lower than going off package, AMD also doubled the L3 cache size to compensate for increased memory latency. The issue of puttin…

I thought so also, but decade of small improvements do accumulate to a large number. Something like 20% improvement 4 times would be doubling the IPC, but single threaded compilati…

I was planning on same thing, until I estimated how much faster modern PC was at single threaded compilation tasks compared to my old one, and how it impacted my productivity. I sh…

Also the compression algorithm seems to be too computationally intensive for poor server to be hammered by Hacker News crowd.

I think the Babylonians used impaling instead of hanging.

The problem is deciding categories, and what to account for what and duplicate accounting of same operation in different sources and differences in accounting and not everybody doi…

It is my personal opinion that you don't need "*" character ever there are other alternatives available always. And if avoiding that character makes it far safer I'm all for it. rm…

I told you what I did when my first real transformation from unhealthy to healthy happened in my early 30's . Now I'm 41 and I'm having second transformation beyond what happened i…

Taking care of health is interesting optimization problem. Too bad that almost advice in the topic is given by people trying to change fit bodies to professional bodybuilders. Or f…

I looked Agner's tables, and was curious how Intel fared with it. All numbers are reciprocal throughput. So how many cycles per instruction in throughput. zen 2 has it's gather var…

As a Zen2 owner I'm very disappointed in VPGATHERDD througput, that's so 2013. On the other hand I like the loop and call instruction performance a lot.

Or more likely the 10nm process yield issues are the reason Ice Lake Xeon's are late. One potential is that Ice Lake Xeons are less relevant because it is on market short period be…
