    I'm starting to think you don't actually love the things you claim to love? But yes, several communities are having trouble with these things. Here's one: https://lakelandgazette.i…

    It always made more sense as the host CPU; the Knights Landing product was vastly more useful. The problem has always been hanging your compute on the far end of a PCI bus. In AI w…

    They "shoot themselves in the foot" by only offering it in a billion-and-a-half-person market? Not sure how. The sales numbers in ROW are probably a rounding error compared to Indi…
