I’ve had the HP lineage from the HP 49G all the way to the current HP Prime G2, and I have to say: these are excellent devices.

One immediate advantage that rescheduling-capable cores have that rigid compiler-based ones don’t nor ever would is that reschedules can notice patterns in execution in the current…

EPIC was Explicit Parallel Instruction Computing, the underlying engineering architecture of AI-64. Epyc is an AMD brand name. And pivoting to concurrency on a rescheduler-intensiv…

Yeah EPIC pushed too much effort onto compilers and removed the context awareness of out of order reordering etc and the result was just a lame duck.

Open Source and LLMs seem to be complementary technologies that have resulted in an absolute surge of productivity multipliers.

“It runs quite slowly, (486-levels of performance on a Ryzen 5000 series according to this discord channel)” I’m sure there’s a joke about that being a huge leap in performance for…

This is personally mildly disturbing because I remember beta-testing Windows 2000 on DEC Alpha back in late 1999, and eventually running Windows 2000 and BeOS on a dual PIII-450 ma…

Your comment reminds me (no insult intended) of the old adage that every doctor has a favourite disease.

Windows 9x and Me weren’t really the predecessors of Windows 2000; it’s real predecessor was Windows ant 4.0. They are very different lineages, with the former descending from 16 b…

Yeah I keep thinking that Reticulum & QUIC are the TCP/IP of the future.

Oh, a polemic. However justified, how unexpected. As long as systems can inter-operate, who really cares?

I’m a naturist and though we’re butt of many jokes we exist and there are perfectly functional and happy FKK families with perfectly normal kids that will be shattered by this if i…

I have one of these linked to a LimeSDR running GNUradio and it’s absolutely up to the task.

I’m still running an AppleTV HD because my TV is only 1080p (Toshiba Regza) because 4K “smart TVs” spook me.

Personally I hate chatbots and natural language interfaces. Give me a well-structured window with widgets or better still a command line. Case in point: that now when you double cl…

The nostalgia welled up within me from depths I didn’t know I possessed.

I’m a nudist and I know FKK families with kids. This is going herd them into discrimination for their own good. To Most people we’re the punchline of a joke but we exist and we hav…

That’s all fine and well until somebody says “okay that’s great for the letterhead, but give me a half tone for the business card divider”.

Implications of this made me so utterly furiously angry I actually hate-calculated the fundamental physics flaw in the premise of Ascension and wrote a Medium post about it: https:…

Personally, I consider Ethel Cain’s American Teenager (2022) to be the most definitively “2020s sound” yet, but that’s probably just an elder millennial who doesn’t get modern cult…

There’s certainly a Baudrillard reference to be made here, but I’m not awake enough to exactly phrase it (yet).

I present you the Interior Designer’s weapon of mass disruption: NCS. Worse still: European urban development projects have adopted it. I never knew there could be so many varietie…

None.

This is truly a huge leap forward but I’m addicted to Mathematica like a starlet to heroin.

Ah so let’s avoid analysis paralysis by having only black, as Ford famously ruled for the Model T. Of course that’s a reductio ad absurdum, but it’s also completely arbitrary to ma…
