It seems the higher-ups are gonna force us to use Slack instead of Jabber/email which we've used successfully for years. I'm not very happy about this, since it seems like a captiv…

If malicious program has access to GPU directly or via some buggy interface, the whole system is at risk. There is no "safe" GPU virtualization like there is with CPUs.

Yeah, why do they change options so often. They should keep some backward compatibility, qemu is not a new project.

> why the milestone isn't something classically hard but easily verified They're far from being able to do any such thing, so posing such milestone would make the field look stagna…

There is not much money in it for Intel . Intel tried to get into GPU-like products 14 years ago. They promote their consumer Arc GPUs since 2022, and still almost nobody wants the…

Yeah, but they can saturate fabs and provide income, which they need. Intel can't produce better CPU/GPU products than their competition now. Their design and manufacturing of CPUs…

The idea of another competitive GPU manufacturer is nice. But it is hard to bring into existence. Intel is not in a position to invest lots of money and sustained effort into produ…

Too late, and it has a bad rep. This effort from Intel to sell discrete GPUs is just inertia from old aspirations, won't really help noticeably to save it, as there is not much mon…

> you bring up Procter & Gamble, No, relwin brought it up, and I ridiculed the criterion. I don't get your point at all, sorry.

Why would you ask that? MIC = Military Industrial Complex. The complex is made of both the industry and the military.

If Ryan McBeth defines MIC as just the defense companies, or its existence being conditioned on these companies having greater official revenues than Procter & Gamble, then he eith…

It's a flop for people who expect that after 20months, they'll get 13%-18% more. Perhaps Steve did not know this "already well known fact" and thus wrote about flop and Intel 11-th…

Yeah, Moore's law seems to culminate and the rising tide with it. We seem to be entering an era where new tech improvements are mostly about integrated coprocessors and specialized…

Yep, after Zen 3-4/Alder Lake, we're now in another stagnation cycle like Intel Sandy Bridge brought in 2010-2015. For casual users, a good test if it's time to upgrade is - has th…

Steve's reviews are focused on gaming and he probably isn't wrong there. 9700X seems to bring very little for gaming, compared to 7700X. 7700X is almost the same performance, somet…

9700X system has materially the same performance and only a little lower consumption than similar 7700X system, which was released 21 months ago. It's stagnation like Intel 2010-20…

If you wanted to upgrade from Zen3/4, don't get your hopes up... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF_bMt9fVm0 On average, 9700X is few percent faster than 7700X, and has slightly lo…

Is this Russian authorities, or Google themselves, slowly leaving?

Not sure what your point is.

Why is the blog post wildly wrong? He states the seal joints were poorly designed, similar to your statement. His statements seem reasonable and in agreement with Feynman's and oth…
