   Xeons have many, many PCIe lanes. Apple Silicon only needs enough HSIO for SSD and Thunderbolt ports, and they’ve released all of the non-internally-expandable machines already. They needed a chip that added 48+ PCIe lanes to the package so

   Folks, processors continue to give smaller and smaller gains every year. Something has to give. If you have critical path code that absolutely must max out the core, then this type of analysis (as pedantic as it is) is useful in the long ru

   I have a MY with FSD, and I do not trust it all. I don’t want to make excuses for the car, but if you’re paying attention then your car won’t scrub 35 mph and cause a pileup. My experience is I can hit the accelerator within 5-8 mph and the

   Insight and its crew were awesome. I’m anthropomorphizing Insight as Wall-E, diligently fulfilling its mission even as disaster nears.

   I presume dropping a few cores and replacing with PCIe lanes is what’s on tap. But man, the volume for that chip will be the smallest of any silicon, and the yield won’t be great.

   Happened a few years ago to YouTube[0]. I don’t know why counters that start at zero and only increment are stored as signed integers. 0: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/12/gangn...

    You could penalize it but if he had to do it on the next turn his sidewalls would have blown out. It’s definitely something to add to the end of race all-chips-in bag of tricks.

    A few hundred years ago it was common for folks (with the means) to keep commonplace books[0] to track information. What they did, what they read, etc. Outside of school & University, it's very uncommon for people to keep with this

    I was in HPC for a long time - Fortran was and is still popular! It’s a virtuous cycle. Science students learn Fortean because it’s what their professors know. HPC has a lot of regular scientists, not computer scientists, doing their own re

    Thanks. We're considering building our ideal home to live part-time and eventually retire to, and we'd like it to be free of natural gas. Obviously heating w/ natural gas is the norm up here, but induction cooktop, solar wate

    I'm in Wisconsin, and we peak in 90's Fahrenheit with humidity in the summer and will have a week in February where we'll never get above 0F. I know geothermal works up here; we had it in a previous house but we paid (in 2012

    On the other hand, federal employees are not paid very well and live in a high-cost area. Some are true believers, making their country or the world better by being a public servant and will stay for 40 years. Many leave because they'v

    I’ve got one of these in 1Password that is shared with my wife. It’s a great idea. When my mom passed away 18 years ago, we looked high and low for every paper and file to help my dad start to become competent with the household finances. I
