I got a battery powered vacuum cleaner, and it's pretty nice to not have a cord. The one thing I don't get is why the battery is at the top where you hold it instead of near the bottom: it would be much lighter to hold for the wri

Interesting stuff! If a shuffle is just crossed wires without any logic (as far as I know shuffle is a completely predetermined bit permutation), wouldn't it fit on the E-cores easily enough?

I don't understand why intel doesn't make their E-cores use double pumped AVX512 to solve this issue (or just make P-core only CPUs for desktops like it should). They have had years to fix this by now. It's annoying that desp

What does cooping at AMD mean, does it mean a contract job? What is a 80186 clone group (a division at AMD designing 80186 clone CPUs, or a hobby group of 80186 PC enthusiasts?) But these machines are from 1988, wouldn't one be designi
