It seems that the complexity of state management in a modern superscalar CPU is orders of magnitude more complex than even this.

I've coded a JPEG compressor. It's clear the output of the machine isn't exactly the same of the input, being lossy, so I guess the output is not protected by copyright either.

If those weights are a derivative of GPL'd code in a different form, and the results generate things derived from that derivative, then the generated code is still under license. "How much change is enough" has always been a

I'm not sure if I really agree - the level of abstraction used for each is extremely similar. There's not really any "Graphics Pipeline Specifics" pollution in OpenCL or CUDA. You can pretty much translate something

As the pentium 3 used the chipset for the memory controller, it's likely limited by that, though you'll likely struggle to find specs at that sort of level publicly available. Though assuming it's the same as contemporary con

I semi-regularly get migraines, maybe a handful a year. Nearly every time it's associated with a night of insomnia - I do everything the same, no coffee or alcohol or anything, no late work or screens. The same bedtime routine, I just.

And not everything it gives is easy to see on the bottom line. I know of some great people (like "Best In Their Field" great) attracted to google to work on X projects. Then while they're there, they may as well spread some o

I read that the other way from the parent - in that you should keep drinking until your pee is clear. Then you're back to "normal" after a dehydrating event (the workout), so you can continue maintaining that level as norma

I mean "for" and "while" loops are effectively used in natural language all the time, even to the youngest of kids. "Do this action 10 times" "Put one item in each box" I fail to see how recursion is

CUDA of 18 years ago is very different to CUDA of today. Back then AMD/ATI were actually at the forefront on the GPGPU side - things like the early brook language and CTM lead pretty quickly into things like OpenCL. Lots of work went

If you think LLMs are overhyped, you likely expect a bubble burst when the "Emperor has no clothes!" moment happens - so it's rational to avoid the risk of being stuck holding the bag when that happens.

And just like pain, they show you where the (likely) problem is. If you didn't have pain you'd still get the same damage to the body, you just wouldn't be aware.

I think I see it as similar to the .com bubble, there's certainly useful and interesting tech involved, just the amount of money being thrown around doesn't look sustainable. Entire companies are putting huge proportions of their

Sure, but the PPE was "just" an iteration on their existing PowerPC core line - that wasn't really the focus of the "unique" Cell changes in the first place. If they just asked for a 3-core SMP version of a PowerPC

I'd argue that permissions aren't really enforced by binder, just binder is used to talk to the endpoints that enforce permissions. Binder has no interaction with SELinux outside the policy requirements to allow apps to open it&

I've always seen it with the leading zero part of the area code to make 4, then 3 then 4 grouping. The leading zero was always listed. e.g. 0123 456 7890 and 01/02 prefixes are landlines, 07 are mobile phones, 08 free, and 09 pre

Yes, for much of it's lifetime it was behind the 360 in worldwide sales, and might have been a disappointment for Sony, especially after the PS2 domination, but I wouldn't say it "Lost Handily" to the xbox360. It may hav

The amount of content required to call it a "Copy" is also a gray area. Same with the idea of "prompting" and the amount required to generate that copywritten output - again there's the extremes of "The prompt

I think the definition between "Lossy Compression" and "Trained AI" is... vague according to the current legal definitions. Or even "lossless" in some cases - as shown by people being able to get written articl

But if it links to the B9GDSIG series refrigerator, which has the 240v H and 120v Y subtypes, then it would be correct in suggesting that? Same with error messages - they often have timestamps, or local object IDs/memory addresses, whi

If you removed every case of "Undefined Behavior" from the C spec, you'd still have memory safety bugs. Because they're orthogonal (though may be coupled if they come from the same core logic error). This is what I mean

I feel the meme of "Undefined Behavior" has been massively exaggerated on the internet - the vast majority of examples appear to be extreme toy examples using the weirdest contrived constructs, or things that are expected to fau

I generally said hi to people in a ~50k pop city, and would regularly recognize people by face even if I'd never spoken to them before. Certainly in the ~1.5k village I grew up in you'd know most people, again if not their names,

I think this is pretty true for every really big city I've been to in Europe - such that I wonder if it's a city size thing rather than a location. Trying to talk to random people in London you get weird looks. A small town furthe

I think e-readers are pretty much a solved problem for books that consist of solely text - it's got to the point where they only differentiate themselves on things more related to personal taste than any technical merit. And price, of

I'm very much aware of issues mistakes around memory can cause, and we use many tools (including different languages) to avoid them or verify code. My point is even taking that into account there's a long tail of unexplained issue
