When someone asks you to please not speculate on their personal life, it's the polite thing to not do it: https://twitter.com/LinaAsahi/status/1575450309907795968

Incredibly fun hack to make it work (start of the video): TLB flushing is a bit hard, so let's reset the GPU after each frame(!!!). And at the rate this advances, this comment will probably be obsolete in less than a week !

Wow, thanks for the pointer to the devel branch. I retract some of my criticism, this seems to be done fairly properly (except in 2021 when I looked where the commits where basically time dumps). I don't get the need to squash though.

Bash nowadays is developed in git, which is nice. Good luck finding incremental changes, though: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/?id=74091d... https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cg

How much were the contracts worth ? Did the SEC just shield Oracle and their staff from having the same charges in those three countries ?

This "standard model" had a SoC refresh too. And as said elsewhere in the thread, it's now cheaper in USD (how components are priced) than it was when GBP was at 1.30+.

PS5s are relatively easy to buy in bundles; if you're lucky you'll have a game you wanted, except at list price instead of market price, but most of the time you'll have useless overpriced accessories and average games. In fa

It's crazy that amidst this cost saving, Sony is still going forward with the price increase in some markets.

If only it was the only thing... Did you know Dolby is actively fighting open source software like VLC behind the scenes ? Anyone having a Dolby license is pressured to stay away from VLC, even when it's a superior technical solution.

I just started a rewatch recently, and it seems it's not an exact copy of the original show's script. For example, in the US version, Denom makes a second call to "disregard" firing the entire floor that doesn't wor

While this is true in the absolute sense, it's one of those things where you have to think about non-technical users: something like this would just confuse them, unless you make it very clear in the message that either one of those ar

The Edgerunners anime is really good, so I guess it did help with the nostalgia.

As usual with these things, it's a convergence of factors. People caring, both in and outside Apple. French repair index (this update earned them 0,5 points / 10 compared to previous gen). Internal cost pressure on warranties, etc

Funny, I initially thought that BSL was the infamous Business Source License, a proprietary source-available license with an automatic switch to (usually) Apache 2.0 four years after each release. But no, it was the Boost Software License.

Yeah, I was including that in the budget (server fans), but technically you're correct, DC cooling is powered separately.

You're right, it's not that much for 2U. But for this config, I think they'd probably go for the 1400W power supplies: - 16 x 25W SSDs - 2 x 225W CPUs - On top of that, add RAM, cooling, etc. Honestly, it's still managea

Not much, see sibling comment. It used to be the minimum quality for enjoyable 4k. (4k Blu-Ray discs have much higher bitrates with HEVC). But since, Netflix heavily optimized their encoding, greatly reducing the bandwidth needs.

Yep, that's correct. It looks like Netflix forgot to update their support pages for this: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306 .

How do you deal with the higher power density of these servers that needs to be put at the ISP locations ? Don't they have some constraints for the open connect machines ?

At 15Mb/s for a start-quality 4k stream (5 times higher than the average ISP speed measured by Netflix), that serves 53k simultaneous customers. In the US, the fastest ISP for Netflix usage seems to be Comcast ( https://ispsp
