Only if you're hoping to have people use them as application cores, running the same binaries off the internet or a CD for various different users. But there are lots and lots of roles that aren't like that from managing hard dri

Hue bulbs should work with any ZigBee LightLink controller. Or if they don't, I'll be very upset about the times I flew out to the LightLink gatherings to make sure all our products worked together.

High color temperature in the morning to wake you up versus low temperature in the night to let you get to sleep quickly is the main benefit.

Even regardless of that, we have hand calculators now so raising height to the 2.6th power instead of squaring it isn't too hard a piece of math to ask a doctor or military recruiter to be doing on their own.

Unless Intel is planning on deprecating SSE then this is already baked in and AVX10/128 existing or not existing won't be changing anything.

I'm not sure the parenthetical "including Asymmetric MTE" in one doesn't mean it isn't present in the other, especially since the lists are otherwise in different orders and just generally seem to be written by diff

Scalable because this one can work in a vector length agnostic way. That is, you can write code that works with 128 bit vectors and also run on a machine with 512 bit vectors without recompilation.

Clearly the Chinese construction companies that got the contracts won, but to the extent that the loans aren't paid back its money from Chinese taxpayers going to the people who own those companies. Japan had a big problem with this s

The problem with Bulldozer was mostly the wonky cache hierarchy, not the modularization. Well, the shared front end was a big problem but AMD fixed that in Steamroller and the A510 isn't making that mistake.

I was using SF because it's known to have had a much higher house price inflation than other places, in order to try to be charitable to your case. If you look at the overall US housing market then you need to go back a lot further

It's not uniform. The inflation of housing prices in SF over the last decade has averaged somewhere around 6% leading to a ~100% increase, way higher than the roughly 2% average inflation. But comparing a ~100% increase over a decade

I don't believe you that the inflation rate for housing or education is at 100%. If you mean that there's been 100% inflation since some point in the past then, well, yes that's true but it's also true of every other go

I'm also not sure that people should be counting on regular, non-robotic delivery drivers to keep their mouths shut if they see any crimes.

For a moment I was afraid the drogue shoot had failed to deploy. But congrats to NASA for getting an asteroid sample safely back to Earth!

Probably just as much a wonderfully successful effort at commoditizing their complement[1] as altruism. But the fruits they gather are good, so they get my good will regardless. [1] https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/

Something Carmack calls out but the OP doesn't is that if you can break out logic with no side effects into its own function that's usually a good idea. I think the left side would have benefited from pizza.Toppings = get_piz

If you could get your hands on a Fujitsu A64FX you could get some really wide SVE vectors but those aren't really supposed to be for consumers.

If by fair you mean the same cost to produce on the same process node, then an Arm V class core should be the same as an AMD compact core, roughly. The Arm N cores are a lot smaller, closer to Intel's E cores. Full sized Intel P core

It would be helpful to get some numbers as to how radioactive this boar meat is. Bacon is a known minor carcinogen, would bacon made from these boars be 100 times as carcinogenic as normal bacon? 1% more?

A hypervisor is something that might run an exokernel or a more traditional OS. And an exokernel can be run on bare metal rather than a hypervisor.

I'd be inclined to call them multiple cores myself, but if they all share the same pipe to main memory that would be a plausible reason to call them all the same core.

In this case photonics is used to transport data from one place to another. An electrical bit is converted to a photonic bit, moves across the chip, and then is converted back to an electrical bit. I'm not aware of any even vaguely p

It's great to see a hobby OS with some interesting ideas coming out of a developer's need to scratch their own itch, pointing to a real potential for improvement. I'm not sure, but my guess is that the author might want to ch
