I'm sure that it must be true based on how other people act on little sleep, but for me the effects this article claims are blown way out of proportion (or just seem wrong). > longer than 48 hours and you’re looking at behavior tha

Slightly off topic, I find it kind of ironic that there's so much debate surrounding the intricacies of dark mode support on a forum with no dark mode support (even though it avoids 90% of the gotchas).

Can someone explain the appeal of this to me? I love playing with fpgas but if you're not working in an hdl then what is the value? Typically you'd use an fpga as a dev tool to design an asic or maybe even use the fpga outright if

They can, what I'm saying is that a single application doesn't scale well over multiple cores. Multiple instances on a single cpu generally works fine, but the biggest impact on performance is per core speed. Edit: I was really ju

Fluid flow and most particle simulations with a large number of particles. The limiting factor is the inter particle interactions, so all the calculations have to feed back into each other.

If you spawn 100 independent instances, it's not really the problem itself scaling. The point is that given a single set of operating conditions you won't see any meaningful gains going from 2 to 100 cores. Using idle resources fo

Yes but it wasn't a (if not amd). It was a series of checks based on specific families of Intel cpus, such as haswell, sandy bridge, etc. So it was never actually querying whether the cpu supported instruction x, it was asking what fam

I happen to know of several companies doing physics problems that scale poorly across cores that spend far north of that, usually building out small clusters. Then you run 100s of independent simulations since each individual one doesn&#x27

Like I said, the original goal was to have something to stream old movies. There is no service I could reliably find things pre-1970, especially the cardboard era of special effects. I'm a huge fan of the hammer horror films and every

This is why in my circle we set up the town pump plex server. Originally it was for streaming older movies (pre 1970) which you can't stream from any major service but the new era of fragmentation has drastically expanded it. We bought
