Yeah; but then the police will compel you to put your finger on the button + get pissed when it doesn't work. https://xkcd.com/538/

In fairness, it still sounds better than the 1st gen touchbar macs. Those ran the CPU at 10% normal speed if you charged with the wrong USB port. The 8GB max DRAM thing is a brutal limitation though.

The article is a divisive Trump thing about how we cannot have free media anymore because the FCC is censoring stuff. Your comment about citizenship and tolerance makes sense, but that's also under direct attack by the Trump administra

A very small model is going to be, what, 8GB? That'll easily blow through the caches. You're going to end up bottlenecked on DRAM either way. So, I wonder if this is going to be any faster than the previous generation for edge A

For those, wouldn't hyperthreading be a win? Some fraction of the time, you'd get evicted to the hyperthread that shares your L1 cache (and the hypervisor could strongly favor that).

I'd be curious to know what group thought that Ukraine would be taken in 2 weeks, but also thinks that the Iranian war will be a quagmire. Either they have a lot of information I'm missing, are complete idiots, or are being dishon

This won't help Israelis. It will help multiple industrial military complexes on both sides of the conflict.

We're certainly paying more than it'd cost to just drive EVs. Retail fuel prices are already higher than that, even ignoring subsidies, military operations and environmental externalities.

This strike isn't even close to Hamas-levels of planning. If anything Hamas got the US to make an unforced mistake in a game of checkers three moves out. According to the IDF's analysis of captured Hamas documents, step 2 was: &qu

Remember: The opinions of people that either didn't vote or voted for Trump are all that really matter this November (unless the Democrats somehow lose voters, but the polls suggest that is unlikely). Those are the votes that need to

Iran has been bombing production facilities across a bunch of US allies. It's unclear how quickly those will be rebuilt. Also, the US is probably bombing Iranian production, which means countries like China will be looking for additi

I wonder if they can bin out ones that have a dead core or two specifically for this purpose.

Sort of. They can just sell even numbers of vCPUs, and dedicate each hyper-thread pair to the same tenant. That prevents another tenant from creating hyper-threading contention for you.

Yocto's for embedded projects though, right? I imagine that means less C++/Rust than most, which means much less time spent serialized on the linker / cross compilation unit optimizer.

So, they're selling this as an AI accelerator, with drop in compatibility with existing boards, and no boost to RAM bandwidth. As I understand things, it would be extremely unusual to ship a chip that was bound by floating point throug

Any experience with the mid-to-small cloud providers that provide un-metered network ports and/or free interconnect with partner providers? (For various reasons, I just care about VPS/bare metal, and S3-compatiblity.) I'm loo

Well, at least they're creating an easy litmus test the majority of the population can use to filter out propaganda sources. Ratings of news networks with Trump-mandated censors are already in free-fall. This pledge will provide addit

Trump got less than 50% of the vote, and less than a third of eligible voters voted for him. The real issue is that the two parties have created a situation where you cannot vote for a viable candidate. Case in point: approximately a dozen
