My god, the latency on a wafer sized die must have been incredible. Certainly such a beast wouldn't be used for logic... A 4 inch image sensor would be quite interesting though.

Up until recently every CPU generation was on a brand new node - there was no second gen on the same process. We never had reliability issues with CPUs before.

The FAA provides time to fix issues if its deemed to not be a critical issue - because if every problem results in grounding planes then people just won't report issues. The added stress of millions in losses could also result in subp

It’s not clear the AOA disagree light would have saved the two flights, so waiting for the next release was reasonable. The critical jump pilots had to make was that this was a trim runaway event. AOA indicators were not connected to the tr

When they disbanded the team in 2009 I thought we'd never see a proper replacement for Flight Sim X. The visuals look gorgeous but the real test is whether the airplane models have realistic physics - otherwise this is just a toy like

That's a myopic view of the situation. Under income based repayment most students' loans will actually increase despite the payments. The massive debt will prevent common middle class milestones like getting a mortgage. Further

This seems to be more like a negotiating position. With the liability laws the way they are I don't see any way for private power delivery to be economical. When the costs of a single fire are in the billions only a government can in

> My point is just that there are payoffs other than monetary ones. Nothing wrong with monetary, but nothing wrong with the others if that drives you. The issue is that college imposes a very real and life changing monetary cost on peopl

Jails are run by the local municipal or regional governments and generally speaking only house inmates for sentences of less than a year. San Diego appears to be an outlier with that 6+ year figure. A prison is run by the state and is gear

Yes, but the dirty secret is the earning potential of a college student is bimodal - yet people often use averages to discuss the benefits of a college degree. The $30,000 in additional earnings figure is propped up heavily by those making

That’s a really interesting theory. It’s probably more iron clad than most schemes because of the video rental case law.

I suppose it just depends on your frame of reference.

Oh absolutely code can be shit. But I’ve also seen code that’s made the company millions of dollars and run flawlessly for 20 years be called “shit” because it doesn’t look like modern code. The replacement naturally consumes many times mo

The problem with past movies is you only see the good ones. I've spent some time watching the bottom barrel movies from the past and they seem even worse than Today's movies - because while both suffer from horrible plots usually

Here we get to the real heart of the problem. Engineers of all levels seem to default into “this code is shit - I could do better” instead of having some empathy and considering they don’t have the whole picture. But the wrong lesson seems

I don't fully agree with the linked thesis, but it was a convenient link to show the average picture and his affect on consumers. Rockefeller absolutely participated in predatory pricing within local markets. Of course if you only lo

I should be more clear: From my perspective as someone following this closely little progress has been made. With the notable exception of io_uring.

All mechanical devices will fail eventually. While a test actuation might reduce the risk somewhat - its not going to be a sure thing. Remember the table didn't kill the last patient that stepped on it - why would anyone suspect the

The book is just a bunch of interviews with founders. The vast majority of content is not from the author - so perhaps it’s worth another look.

John Rockefeller was an old man by the time the antitrust suit came - the gouging phase never came with him at the helm. Further, his peak market share occurred long before. At the time of the anti trust he had 65% share, vs the 85% at St

That's a common misconception about Standard Oil [1]. In fact they were instrumental in lowering prices (albeit not 1:1 with their reduced production costs). John Rockefeller was a conflicted man in terms of ethics - but it was clear

The kernel is still quite slow at handling TCP/IP packets. Its the bane of my existence with KeyDB. I'm still experimenting with io_uring which should help a little bit but that was only released this year.

Kik is a Canadian company, and based upon most Canadian business owners I know their personal assets are most likely off-shored in one of the popular Caribbean islands used for this purpose. Tax evasion is rampant here.

Not with local backlight dimming it isn't. The contrast ratio is totally fake using that trick.

That's an incredibly high bar. I'd honestly be shocked if even the hardcore NT Kernel developers had built a microcoded branch predicting processor.

As a fellow Ontario driver it is of course polite to move over to the other lane if possible to give the merging car some room. Then you can move back of course.
