No dock required. With Samsung DeX you just need a cheap USB-C to HDMI cable. Plug the phone into the monitor and you can switch to desktop mode. It only works on Samsung models that have USB-C video though. My mid-range Samsung phone do

That's interesting. I've been tethering for years using Android phones, and using a 4G standalone router. I've never seen a client be allocated any IPv6 address in either case. I know the phone gets one for itself, but I d

MMX didn't add new registers. It uses the same FP registers as those present all the way back to the Intel 8087 in 1980. You could say the MMX registers are older than the 32-bit x86 architecture, and therefore older than EAX, EBX, E

The House of Lords are usually the sane and reasonable ones that block abusive legislation created by those in the House of Commons. The latter are far more political, and almost all the scandals, drama, grifting, public lies and human righ

No, because GPT-4 has finite memory, its context length, and its random number generator for output selection is probably pseudo-random with finite memory. If the random number generator is pseudo-random, this makes GPT-4 a deterministic fi

I think just seeing double the balance (or much more for high income disparity households) on bank statements due to being assigned to the joint-account cohort seems likely to make a lot of people feel more psychologically secure by itsel

Better relationships on average . What works best for you might not align with the average for your cohort. Adapting average-based advice to your individual characteristics often results in a better match to what's best for you than

snprintf_l() is not standard, but you can simulate it with uselocale() to save and restore the per-thread locale, which is standard (POSIX.1-2008) and supported by Glibc, FreeBSD, MacOS and other OSes, though Windows requires its own, diffe

Few hundred? When I looked at adding my ideal RAM and storage onto the base MBP M2 Pro model, the RAM upgrade came to $1634.56 (£1250), and the storage upgrade came to $2876.83 (£2200). That's enough to be a long term purchase, so I de

It's a typo. The BXM-4-64 is advertised by Imagination as doing 4 pixels per clock, and 64 FP32 per clock. At 50 GFLOPS, that's roughly 3Gpixel/s, not 3Mpixel/s.

That sounds similar to the account state storage used in blockchains. In some of those, high performance and high space consumption are technical challenges, and the tendancy to have a lot of random keys (hashes) adds another. I wonder if T

It depends on the type of glass. Some glasses are incredibly resilient, and some of them are flexible. They all look the same, so people who don't know tend to think of all glass as the same substance.
