No, in classic HBM multiple RAM dies are stacked on top of each other, but they sit next to the CPU, not on top. Edit: well typically it would be a GPU not a CPU.

The part that’s inaccurate is calling it a 128-bit data path. It’s not, it’s just a higher speed 64-bit path

The real kicker here is that this functionality is blocked not only in China but globally. That is indefensible, at the very least provide some timeline or assurance that such restrictions will be limited to users of that particular country

Right, I don’t have a lot of love for EU bureaucrats (thanks cookie law!), but this criticism misses the mark in many places. You can have E2E encryption, as that term is understood, and scan the communications, you just have to do so local

I don't think anyone really holds this position sincerely. Where people disagree is where the line should be drawn and how to do the cost benefit analysis of regulation.

Yes I couldn't really understand what the thesis was. Definitely the shift to overseas production has affected local manufacturing, a story we have seen over and over. But the consumers are unhappy because... It is cheaper? And $reason

You're actually onto something, I think. Half of the fed's job is setting interest rates, but the other half is setting interest rate _expectations_. If people expect rates to hold steady or decrease, they may not change their beh

Roku had nearly half a _billion_ uninsured at SVB! I get how a small startup maybe overlooks their cash management, but how do you get to the size of Roku and have that? Treasurer/CFO should be fired.

You can do your part by not putting plastic in the recycling. Put it in the trash instead where it goes to safe, well regulated American facilities. I have totally lost faith in recycling anything other than aluminum/glass/some pa

Of course they are free to add new "more powerful" instructions to SVE at any time, just like Intel could for AVX, etc. Also, I think it is supposed to be easier for compilers to autovectorize SVE than, say, neon. Whether that

Not confusing the two, and maybe it is quibbling but changes in market value have nothing to do with liquidity as that term is used in finance. Just because you can't sell a bond at par doesn't mean it is an illiquid market.

I mean, my Chase checking account is still only paying 0.01% interest. Many many people seem to be ok with ~0% interest on their day-to-day cash needs.

Treasuries are some of the most liquid instruments available, it is not a “liquidity” issue like “How do I line up buyers for all these weird, hard-to-price assets”. And the measure put in place by the Fed is not a liquidity back stop, it i

Just to be clear, SVE is similar to AVX512 but the “Scalable” part is that the length is not hard-coded to any set number of bits or elements. It is more like the vector computers of old, such as the Cray-1. This means there is no need for

No, if you have to sell your bonds with, say, 9 years remaining, you won't get 100B for them. Think about it, you paid 100B to get 10-yr treasury bonds paying 2%/$4 billion, annually. Now someone can go to a treasury auction and p

Well what do you mean by cash? Keeping cash in a vault is of course highly impractical, and also doesn't produce any money for you or the bank. If that's what you want, I think you could find it but it would be at a security compa

You're making a lot of very specific assertions in this thread about what bank officers or regulators would/should have done, or what the effect of SIFI stress tests would have been, without any actual evidence to back this up. Do

Not to support the “what about the children” arguments, but 1) try thinking a little harder, and 2) probably a good thing that nothing comes to mind for you.

Why do you think YouTube isn’t profitable? Plenty of ads in it and bringing in something like $15 bln/year in revenue. Don’t know exactly the COGS, etc., but hard to say they aren’t making money. Android is probably a much better examp

That is likely way too much melatonin than is needed or helpful. Try taking 1 mg or even 0.5 mg a few hours before you want to fall asleep. Lots of easy to find evidence that common dosages are way too high. Typical person produces anywhere
