This seems to be about people who think they are smarter than they are. There are dumb and smart people alike who fall in this category, but also plenty who do know their own limits.

The whole thing scrolls in a very weird fashion. Despite only taking up around 1/6 of my screen it manages to scroll so that part of the map is hidden. The whole thing lacks instructions on how to play, along with rules. What units do

This review seems to miss one of the most important competitors. The Ryzen 5 7600 costs only $20 more, and performs a good deal better for not a whole lot more power. I don't think there is a lot of customers to whom the iGPU differenc

It is certainly very broad. And as much as some people try, you can't make any complete generalisations about what autistic people can or cannot do.

We do actually have some methods of calculating an expected performance. For instance we know that a Zen4 CPU can do 4 256 bit operations per clock, with some restrictions on what combinations are allowed. We are never going to hit 4 outrig

As a cryptographer I can't stand this quote. Nothing against Neumann, but the people who choose to spread it as sage wisdom really only manage to convey misinformation. In context it is a superfluous philosophy quip. We have had fast r

So you suggest transferring a trit using 3 wires. Wires for data transfer already take up a tremendous amount of space in a lot of CMOS logic. The primary point of CML is that a differential signal is interference resistant. Therefore it ca

The way we use transistors does not leave any room for tri-level circuits to be more efficient. The high clock speeds we get rely on fast switching of power levels, this is generally done by targeting a voltage well beyond the switching thr

Wrong prices. Anyway, you'd get even lower graphics performance. The 8700G is 12 CUs, and those two models come with 8 and 4 CUs, making them even less compelling alternatives to a dedicated graphics card.

I wonder how many times that has happened? Specifically someone intentionally modifying the behaviour of a closed source program by changing an LGPL library that it depends on.

They are produced on an older processing node than the AM5 lineup. So if AMD switched to only produce AM5 CPUs and Radeon 7000 graphics chips, the old factories would lack something worthwhile to produce. Therefore AMD can negotiate much lo

A quick check puts a Ryzen 5 5600 and a Radeon RX 6600 at $360 combined, where the 8700G is set to $330. And a RX 6600 will deliver around double the graphics performance. So even without factoring in motherboard and memory the 8700G is har

It also degrades the visual quality of the sprites by not rendering them in 1 to 1 scale. From a modern standpoint where a bit of 3D does not have a wow factor I think it actually looks worse.

What I read is that it is the best theoretically possible error correction mechanism, given a convolutional code as input, and thus also the highest cost mechanism that one would consider. This doesn't mean that it is universally the b

This is about error correction. The probes add a redundant convolutional code to their signal. Decoding this is easy as long as the error rate is low, a computer program can simply guess what bits have flipped. The issue becomes harder with

The problem is, nobody cares if the can actually says Play-doh on the label. When kids become brand aware it matters what phone they get, not so much the brand of a toy gun. You can pump them full of commercials to sell stuff, but anyone ca

"A spokesperson for Nord Pool said it was up to the market participant to resolve the issue." That is no way to operate a power exchange. This is not just money being made and lost, the whole grid will go down if such an error is

Of course the prevalent reason to make a service is that it can be monetized to Hell and back again. Does it fit the customer's needs? Who cares, as long as they have no clue what they will end up paying until it is too late to migrate

The computer part of this "quantum computer" is not really developed. So mostly they just have some way of storing a qbit, of which they have built more than 1000 copies, but no way of making them do anything significant.

For the last 10 years you have been adding stuff that did nothing but increase the complexity. Now you wonder why new people can't keep up with the complexity.

I still haven't figured what a vector DB is, beyond something something AI.

If you do a rewrite you can throw away the memory buffer and handle all data with opaque pointers, thus allowing complete integration with the GC. And yes, you could just leave the buffer dangling there, and tell people not to use it, but i

It wouldn't solve the issue, but it would remove all the things in the way of one competent person sitting down and writing a spec.

The DOM is garbage collected, you cannot hold a reference to a DOM element in a non-garbage-collected environment without having to manually mark as held and free. Remember that some old IEs had memory leaks because one could make circular

It is a virtual machine by the normal definition of the word, doesn't mean it can't be AOT compiled. The part of parsing that can be skipped is a minuscule part of compilation, won't do much for performance. I guess that the

It has been almost 6 years since all major browsers first supported WASM. Can you really call that early?

The lack of integration with anything. The primary method of storage being flat memory that cannot hold a DOM reference in a way that doesn't break garbage collection. The lack of string handling. I'm not saying that it is impossi

I really don't get the WebAssembly design. It is not Assembly, it doesn't offer any of the benefits of Assembly. The only thing that makes it assembly-like is that it is completely unreadable and mostly unwritable to humans. For t

If that is what they want then they should scrap WASM and start over. The design is just fundamentally wrong for a JavaScript replacement.

by NohatCoder 3y ago
You can write all your HTML/CSS/JavaScript by hand and have no weird integration issues. WASM is designed not to be written by hand. It is the only component that forces you to use a compiler chain.
