And in the meantime we were drilling cheap 720k floppies. Strangely never had an issue with these.

Well, all the bad things happens in the real world, we can’t keep kids away from it. We need to give them tools to cope with it.

I’ll be yodeling while typing from now on. Happy open-spacing everyone.

You mean that the sound of each key is unique and sufficiently different from the others? Or it has to do with how a person is typing?

Workaround for me is to change bank then. Would love getting away from iOS spying on me.

For "security" reasons banking apps generally disagree running on anything rooted. Is there a way to circumvent that?

AI version is so much better!

Dang, that wouldn’t play nice for MPI then.

That won’t be long now…

I don’t see how this is working. The QC audit will just testify that a bolt, somewhere, has been tightened. Or we need nuts with chips that communicate with the wrench and the part it’s fastening.

Exactly the point, it’s not bringing any value to the society beyond what any currency is already providing.

Impressive and frightening. Trying to patch an ecological horror with an ecological horror.

Meshing the building volume at 20 points per wavelength at 20 kHz is going to require around 10^15 elements. Untractable with today’s hardware… Modelling detailed individual sound sources and mixing their contributions at a particular point

Is there evidence that the pipe harmonic response can be neglected so the audio signature can be extracted solely from the acoustic cavity modes? I’m tempted to run an harmonic analysis of the fluid-structure system to figure this out…

The "world" is a very different thing than what you mean: "our current, energy guzzling, way of life"

That’s right, thinking about your point, with cancer our cells still know how to turn immortal. But what’s the point if it’s at the expense of their carrier. I need to reflect on the implications.

On the end a "competitive advantage" is a thing that helps to nicely explain a lot of things like vision, self-consciousness, feelings… Does nothing to the reason why Von Neumann machines appeared on our planet thought.

Maybe immortal organisms did exist at one point. Issue is that being immortal prevents you as a specie to adapt to changes. Death of individuals can be simply seen as a competitive advantage within the framework of the theory of evolution.

Any comparison is nevertheless flawed as we are not paying for the 100 000 years long problem that nuclear creates. We act here in the same way we are doing with fossil energy: we live the good life now and let generations to come pay our b

You’re making all valid statements, but we see CEOs driving businesses into walls, and refuse to take responsibility. I size things for a living, a mistake can mean injury or death. If this happens I tell you I’ll have to bear the consequen

So no saving grace from the ISA… humans just lost ground on CPU design, and I suspect the situation will worsen when AI will enter the picture.
174.
by bobim 3y ago
Are new ISA solving this? Time to move to Risc V?

We need to keep programs small so they fit in the cache.

What would be the typical size of such a constraint-based problem, and do we have the compute power to translate the rules into an implementation? And what if one forgot a rule somewhere… Deeply interesting subject.

by bobim 3y ago
Is it even possible to design a cpu with out-of-order and speculative execution that would have no security issue? Is the future leads to a swarm of disconnected A55 cores each running a single application?
178.
by bobim 3y ago
Exactly! But if it’s energy density hasn’t increased since the middle age it’s probably only good enough to support middle age lifestyle.

My understanding is that there are no clean sources able to replace fossil fuels. Or we would need to cover useful land with solar panels (largely produced in China with coal electricity btw). Anyway, we should transition to EV and these ca

Well, global surveys show how oil, gas and coal are going. https://ourworldindata.org/energy-production-consumption
