Good video indeed. Extra points for featuring Satoru Iwata!

IMHO it is just unethical to have to reverse engineer your hardware to program for it.

This 21 billion will be spent on a similar project someday, anyway. This kind of research cannot just be written off... It is also nothing compared to (for example) the amount of money being spent by private companies on useless gimmicks. Y

Are you suggesting that we should just forget about it? What do you mean by "inherently flawed"?

I agree and would like to add that people have been proven to be very bad at making at least certain kinds of predictions. Humans may still be around after 100 thousand years. The electron had not even been discovered just 130 years ago.

Just switching is a few tens of instructions. Tens of microseconds should be more than enough to also build a non-trivial page table.

I think (because you talk about exiting from and entering into dimensions) you are referring to the conjecture that our universe is embedded in a hyperspace and that gravitational pull from objects inside our universe could be detected by o

> The question is: Where is the energy stored in the meantime? Where does the extra energy, if the ship falls into a heavier planet, come from? You can say it came from the fact that there existed a point in space with a lower gravitatio

You could say this because it is true, but the term "encoding" is mostly used to refer to the binary representation. The textual, human-friendly representation of an instruction is often referred to as an "instruction mnemo

I do not think there is anything to obtain yet. The only two designs that I am aware of and that are out-of-order are Berkley's BOOM and Alibaba's Xuantie 910. And then you also need a complete and standardized platform, i.e. ch

Besides the fact that software is a relatively young field, it also aims to exploit hardware devices which have been evolving ridiculously quickly.

For HPC it is a huge handicap, though. Intel's 10nm process offers about 10 to 12 times higher transistor density than their 32nm process, for example. So, if you want to be fair, you should take this into account when comparing chips.

Manjaro Architect's installer is really neat btw.

Except that the TPU does not simulate real neurons in any way. It just performs simple arithmetic using an architecture that is suited to the ANNs we use today. If you managed to understand how the brain works and tried to run the model on

I am also in no way an expert, but I would not say it is "really a hardware problem". There is already serious research going on neuromorphic computing, but you have to know what hardware to build and how to actually use / tr

I also use KDE Plasma, but even the experimental Debian repository does not yet have 5.18. Otherwise, I would just use Sid.

I do not have an informed opinion on the different aspects of snaps, because I haven't had to deal with them at all. That said, the feature "automatic updates whenever the system feels like it", is an annoyance for me, even i

And our bodies are full of those. Enzymes are catalysts.
