Xbox One sold 57.9M and Series family has sold 28.3M by mid 2024. PS4 sold 117M and PS5 sold 61.7M by mid 2024. Nintendo claims 150.9M Switch consoles sold as of the end of 2024. That puts Microsoft at around 20.7%, Sony at 43%, and Nintend

JS JITs like v8 is already do this to some extent. Objects aren't actually "untyped". Every object has a hidden class with a definite type or "shape" (a shape basically means the same keys with the same value types

Typescript doesn't do ANY of that. It is intentionally unsound. Rather than prevent the crazy from happening, TS gives loads of ways to abuse the worst parts of the language as it slowly expands to be one of the most complex type syste

JS could be an amazing language to work with if they'd just spec out a "use type" subset that uses an actually-sound Hindley-Milner type system on typed parts (verify types at the untyped fringes and throw if they don't

Getting funding and good job offers is mostly about marketing. Even worse, lots of people controlling the purse strings aren't domain experts. In a way, it's no different from getting published in specific high-profile publication

TSMC 7nm is 91MTr/mm2 and 10nm is 53MTr/mm2. That's a 1.72x increase in density while SiFive is claiming a 2x density advantage which still puts it pretty far ahead if the claim is accurate and that's without discussing

Was this copy protection to keep it from running on systems or does this happen on all 68030?

We're 12 years since the release of r7rs-small and there's still no standard library as r7rs-large is essentially MIA. I remember seeing that they'd done a preliminary release of just one small part of r7rs-large. It was exis

The comparison to MTG seems rather strange to me. There's a superficial relationship that both are dueling games, but the fundamentals aren't the same. MTG strategy relies on mana advantage, card advantage, card selection advantag

These models are nearing 2+ trillion parameters. At 4 bits each, we're talking about somewhere around 1tb of RAM. The problem is that RAM stopped scaling a long time ago now. We're down to the size where a single capacitor's

This lawsuit scared away any future startups from using ARM technology if they want the option to be acquired. This in turn means that all the awesome new chip IP is going to be designed for some other ISA and that's almost certainly R

The whole ALA essentially boils down to "you pay us because other companies made our ISA popular". This is why companies are pushing toward RISC-V so hard. If ARM's ISA were open, then ARM would have to compete with lots of o

Your statement that "RISC-V in 2024 is slow" gets followed by a crazy sequitur that this will continue to be the case for a long time. Ventana announced their second-gen Veyron 2 core at the beginning of this year and they are rel

No defamation was ever proven in court. It was a default judgement.

It was a default judgement. No trial took place and there was no ability for the jury to see evidence from both sides. The monetary amount was absolutely based on feelings.

The court gave a default judgement and nothing went to trial, so the court certainly did NOT prove what you're claiming.

Bosch REAX used compressed air cylinders to drop the blade without damaging it. They got sued into oblivion by SawStop because SawStop was somehow granted a patent on the idea of stopping a blade quickly. As a side fact, the Bosch sensor el

That would depend on how they designed the memory controllers. GDDR6 only supporting 1-2gb modules at present (I believe GDDR6W supports 4gb modules). If they were using 12 1gb modules, then increasing to 24gb shouldn't be a very large

Launching a new SKU for $500-1000 with 48gb of RAM seems like a profitable idea. The GPU isn't top-of-the-line, but the RAM would be unmatched for running a lot of models locally.

It seems like the type checker could call out polymorphic functions both when compiling and even highlighting them in the editor when checking for type errors.

If you work on a critical piece of software (especially one you can't update later), you absolutely can spend way more time validating than you do writing code. The ease of pushing updates encourages lazy coding.

I much prefer StandardML's syntax as it's far more consistent and doesn't have all the weirdness.

OJ Simpson payed 33.5M to the family of the woman he murdered. It's insanity that you can flat-out kill someone and get paid less in civil court than denying a murder ever happened.

Keeping old games running on new hardware is ESSENTIAL for continued profits. Let's do the math. PSN had 123M subscriptions in 2023. Supposedly, 70% were essential, 13% were extra, and 17% were premium. Let's get the highest (per

RISC-V makes the most sense. It means they wouldn't be locked into one CPU supplier. Requiring a GPU based on RISC-V (or a separate open GPU ISA) could further insulate them from the current AMD lock-in.

Hillary Clinton still complains about the election being stolen by Trump (there were riots by Democrats back then too). Democrats still complain about Bush beating Gore in 2020. To say that Democrats would simply accepted the results if Tru

Russia invaded Ukraine with ~170,000 troops. When it turned into an actual war instead of a quick regime change, they had to hire Wagner and draft prisoners until they could train up troops to send. Do you seriously think Russia was going t

I don't understand this perspective. Russia is gettin North Korean troops to fight for them because they are losing so bad, but Russia is also an aggressive superpower hell-bent on invading even more countries with far better defenses

That's not speculation. Qualcomm made a 216-page proposal for their Znew[0] "extension". It was basically "completely change RISC-V to do what Arm is doing". The only reason for this was that it would allow a super-
