You forgot about server market which is Intel-dominated and growing well.

Honestly, nothing that commodity x86 servers can't do.

Even ignoring the curvature of the Earth, the signal source was not necessary located on the straight line between two LIGO locations, but rather at some angle to this line. For example if the signal origin was on the line that is exactly b

There are ongoing efforts to build accurate cellular models, incorporating all processes and networks to such level that predictions can be made. There was a rather big breakthrough in 2012, when first bacterial model was published.

Same could be said in 1913. It is probably true in the long term, but local maximas of human suffering are no joke.

It is deeply disturbing article, down to the point where it looks like an attack on fundamental science. Without science providing the explanation how all the fancy technology works, inventors would be blind and deaf. For example - how can

Crap. So what are the immediate countermeasures? Switch to elliptic curves cryptography?

I've seen NonStop solution failing due to completely mundane reason of insufficient disk space after a burst of transactions. One condition for those 30-year uptimes is also a 100% predictable environment.

Modern combined cycle powerplants are exactly that (exhaust from gas turbine is used to heat steam for secondary steam turbine)

Royal Bank of Canada for sure. Other banks from Big 5, probably too.

I feel enraged that option NOT to enhance humanity is even in the picture. I guess that's the inevitable part of any new medical advance, be it vaccines, anaesthesia or even washing hands when dealing the pregnant women after working w

Our company had switched from Postgres FTS to Elasticsearch and saw huge performance benefits without loss of relevancy.

One should really look into works of Russian publicist Sergey Pereslegin. He (plus other people) produced a lot of fascinating speculation on such concepts (superorganisms composed of humans and organizations)

3D stacking. Heat dissipation is the limitation in this case, not the process size.

Note the difference - "technologies used in Bitcoin were in development for X years" vs. "Internet as a whole concept of network of network was in development for Y years".

by AnonNo15 11y ago
Except Internet was in development since 1969 by the time it became available to public. Bitcoin whitepaper was released in 2008. Before that even the concept of cryptocurrency hardly existed.

That's incredibly defeatist approach. Space travel it is.

Lets not forget things like BRL-CAD or SPICE. Also I wonder how old is the code in IBM JCL runtime/interpreter. The secret to longevity is continuos support, so it seems.

Chassis power consumption with system(s) off: Xeon: 0W OpenPOWER: 11W HP Moonshot (Avoton): 121W HP Moonshot (ARM): 218W This is mostly due to chassis specifics, though.

- Intel Xeon provides the best performance. - Power consumption of Intel systems at off, idle and full power states are less then of ARM64 and POWER8 ones - ARM 64-bit and Power 8 are currently providing a significantly lower performance &#

Actually the reverse happened in 70s - instead of pursuing indigenous R&D, it was decided to clone Western hardware and software instead. This really crippled Soviet computer science and engineering. In 50s-60s Soviet computers were not

Seems like the fear of Apple monoculture is now less of a concern. Android marketshare is larger now then Apple's.
