That's not quite accurate. Every core has access to the entire L3, including the L3 on an entirely different socket. CPUs communicate through caches, so if a core just plain couldn…

First off, it's not a direct comparison. The Epyc has one L3 cache per chiplet. This means that latency is not uniform across the entire L3 cache. This was a serious concern on the…

There used to be! In the U.S., the top marginal tax rate was 90% or higher from 1944 to 1963 and was 70% or higher from 1918 to 1920 and 1936 to 1980. Source: https://www.irs.gov/s…

"There's an issue in the system" doesn't absolve you of responsibility. Right now, unless you take it on yourself to do some research and pay a premium, you know for a fact that an…

You're right. "Exploitative" is a matter of opinion. The term is "fraud". That is what will be proven in court.

The option costs $10,000. It does not work as claimed and there is no reason to believe it ever will. People have died due to the system malfunctioning. Others have died due to fal…

>Tesla is leagues ahead if I’m not mistaken You are. Pretty much every other manufacturer offers adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and the like. They're just honest about thei…

Who cares? Tesla's dead in the water anyway. How does it compete with the real players?

It's Tesla. They've been selling fake self-driving systems for five years and building $50,000 cars in a circus tent. There is no level of incompetence or malice I would find surpr…

It's a shame that the necessary work of criticizing our media is so often undertaken dishonestly. >When Donald Trump made the same calculation, saying he couldn’t cut ties This is …

So do arrays. You can never have an "inline" object. It's always a reference. Java has another problem because each node is an object, though. Every object has (I believe) about 16…

Why ditch the mainframe? It sounds like the software is the problem here, not the hardware.

I certainly question the orthodox view that software should be fault-tolerant and horizontally-scalable. If programmer time is more valuable than machine time, then why can't my te…

This is about the least biased opinion you will ever find in the cryptocurrency space. David Gerard is trying to sell a book, sure, but that incentivizes him to appear knowledgeabl…

They aren't teaching the same things in public schools. (I doubt they're teaching them in that prep school, either, but I haven't looked into it.)

I was very excited about Triplebyte when I first saw it. I did very well on the test (>80th percentile straight out of school, as high as their scale goes) and was looking for juni…

I would propose that we stop sending people to Stanford and paying them $250,000 a year to do a job that can be learned in three months.

This does not, by the way, imply that the machines are working correctly and human drivers are the problem. These cars are rear-ended more often than human drivers, which suggests …

This is of something I've often seen in GPU-accelerated code: people get really amazing speedups because they're comparing to something that started out dog slow . Every example gi…

If you were to choose someone to lead one of the world's largest charities, would you choose to hire some random guy and train him from scratch or would you choose an expert in pub…

You're right, I couldn't. But I could buy one off the shelf for $25k! That's how much scoreboards cost if you want to show the score, not play full-color video. LED panels are chea…

The problem with that is, in part, that they ignored the spirit of the donation, but also that the proper amount for a university to spend on a scoreboard is twelve dollars and thi…

Well, Gates is a bad guy. He was a robber baron who decided that stealing a whole lot of money makes him the world's leading expert on everything. He has no training in pedagogy, e…

The misinformation about Prop. 47 is stunning to me. It did not change anything relating to violent crime, nor did it make petty theft legal. Petty theft is still punishable by jai…

Tesla is cash-poor. I entirely believe the penny-pinching story. This makes blowing so much money on Bitcoin all the more awesomely stupid.
