That is precisely the argument, and it is a perfectly reasonable one, especially in the right context.

Considering that "followed only" is far simpler to build, that's a pretty lame excuse and doesn't do anything to change my opinion about whether they're priorities are healthy.

If you actually read the article, do you think your strategy would have worked in China when communism took over? The article itself presents a much better reasoned account of all this than your comment.

From the same Phoronix title page today, Steam Deck accounts for 40% of Linux Steam users. This means the other 60% are split roughly evenly between AMD and Intel.

AMD GPU drivers come with Linux distributions by default. There's literally nothing you have to do, unless your GPU is very recent.

Continuing with the off-topic, the E in ETH is pretty significant if you're going to loosely translate, as it stands for "Swiss federal", which is a big part of where those institutions' standing comes from.

All 3D rasterization techniques ultimately put the camera at the origin. That's why you have different coordinate systems (model vs. world vs. view/camera) and transforms between them.

Totally agree, but to stick to traditions here, the phrase is "it cannot be overstated ".

That's a bit too cynic. It's a good rule of thumb, but people shouldn't take it as 100% true. I personally have left academia, mostly for personal reasons before I could really know for certain whether I would have made it or

Also, having to throw out basically everything in GPU memory is largely a thing of the past in the first place. I still have this instinctual reluctance to change screen resolution in a game's setting screen, even though 99% of the tim

A lot of it is confused, but they do have meaning of a sort, often with a touch of newspeak. For example, I like Matt Bruenig's take on "equity": https://mattbruenig.com/2023/03/05/equality-and-

Somebody decided that the word "master" is bad enough to become taboo, so the same thing happening to "dead" is not particularly far-fetched.

This is an interesting observation but it matches my perception of traditional project philosophies: "we know what's best for you" (Apple / Gnome) vs. "here are options, have at it" (KDE / Windows)

When you're in a typical salaried position, it's unlikely that you'll be able to extract more money out of your work proportional to the additional effort you put in. So the question becomes: what else do you get out of it? S

What, exactly, do you think one could see on the back of a flip chip? If anything, BPD means there are more layers that can be shown.

SIMD instructions are generally not microcoded though because they are not actually complex. A SIMD addition has pretty much the same microarchitectural complexity as a scalar addition. If you're looking for truly complex instructions,

Your points are entirely orthogonal to mine. There may well be cases where net government spending must be reduced -- but that is identical to increasing net government income .

De facto, austerity tends to be used to argue for cuts to social programs and reduced investment in common goods or to argue for privatization of common goods. This tends to benefit the top 0.1%: The living situation of the the majority is

Sure. All aggregated data is ultimately derived from raw, unaggregated data. One can make the argument that training an LLM is "just" an unusually complicated form of aggregation. Whether that would hold up is another question. Bu

The LLM itself is a form of aggregated data.

That misspelling of "corporation" severely breaks the meaning you almost certainly intended.

L2 is unified on all CPUs I'm aware of. Only L1 is split between instructions and data.

I think this is a reasonable concern. The most recent episode of drama out of Rust is a pretty clear example of problematic behavior by some leadership person, and so it'll be interesting to see whether equally clear consequences will

Quite the contrary, having the browser be the password manager is the way to go, and it works well today. My only complaint is around data portability. Exporting and importing passwords should be hassle-free.
