I wish there was a hard requirement for ECC, as a developer working on GPU drivers, there's a huge amount of reported issues that just... don't make sense? One offs with slightly different symptoms, memory dumps of nonsense, jus

If they "fake it" and it tastes better... then why are you going out of your way chasing some marketing term that tastes worse to you?

I also like the "ritual" of brewing a coffee to help me wake up in the morning. And even then, it's less than 10 minutes total preparing a pour over, it probably takes less time than cleaning out a filter machine would. And f

And yet they seem to be the only people picking the apparently "Low Hanging Fruit" in ARM land. We'll see about Qualcomm's Nuvia-based stuff, but that's been "nearly released" for what feels like years now

Also depends what buttons - it makes sense to have the "Might need to push quickly in an emergency" buttons big and physical - they're already shown to be treated differently in the current implementation, being larger and re

A fully rendered modern webpage is BIG - no matter what engine rendered it. IIRC both current big engines drop the rendered state in the background under memory pressure, as it's pretty much the only way of dealing with it.

> Desktop GPUs only got instruction-level preemption not that long ago And even then it's often limited to already scheduled shaders in the queue - things like the register files being statically allocated at task schedule time mean

Aside from it being an obsolete proprietary format, what subset of swf should they implement? It's extremely complex for an image format, and many of it's features seem a little out of scope. Not much use for an interactive animat

I know it (the A100) at least has the texture pipeline too, so it's certainly got more "Graphics" optimized parts than this. Really nomenclature is a mess, everyone hops on the next big term until you're not sure what it

Isn't a GPU with no rasterization or texture hardware a DSP?

I thought the "failed" result of the project was more due to economic factors, and the reduced need due to other actions in the war meaning a waterborne carrier was less useful. Not some issue with the mechanical properties of pyk

"restrict" is getting around language issues where it's easy to "accidently" block things like vectorization, or having to reload values multiple times just in case pointers aliased. There's no compiler in the

Also the files have been modified to remove some personal information - as discussed on the last HN post about this. For "Purists" should timestamp now be the time those modifications were made? Surely backdating them with modifie

I think some of this is selection bias - for many their local peers of similar age are often in the same industry, and of similar education backgrounds. I assume on a site like this it's likely tech-aligned. Most people do NOT know h

Isn't that just the same thing in different clothes? Just a different protocol offering the same features of authentication and encryption - often using exactly the same primitives? Is it "Security through obscurity" assuming

I assume there's a bit of outdated information in that article, or the annoyingly common issue of journalists misunderstanding actual research results - the claimed efficiency of ~14% for LEDs seems much too low, the latest LED lamps p

POSIX is an api, not kernel interface, and the MS CRT still supports much of it. And there's stuff on top, like cygwin and mingw, if you need more.

From my experience it's the thing gamers enable after getting 120fps "ultra" in rasterization already. Rasterization-based estimations of many of the visual features are very good now, and most people I know tend to have

Is there much use for a partially resident LLM though? Then I don't see much of an advantage over just vanilla bittorrent - if you realistically need a full local copy to even start working anyway.

It should - linux's simpledrm driver should work with uefi framebuffers using the "standard" user interfaces.

Plus good time overlap to hand over ongoing issues - there's a reason why there's an uptick in deaths at shift change time...

I also get somewhat scared when I hear about things like shift lengths or "on call" times from my doctor friends, even on "well staffed" shifts. If you're on your feet and working for 14 hours straight with no rest,

Are we getting old for knowing that Reentrancy was an issue before multi-core processors became the norm for consumers?

As someone who went through a MacOS APFS migration, I can certainly say it wasn't smooth. Maybe the limited capabilities that mobile device APIs give apps and user was helpful avoiding issues - can't have multiple partitions or

I think it was more "hiding" as vendored code rather than really being in that category. The git repo never contained that "vendoring", as the m4/gettext.m4 file doesn't exist autoreconf just copies one from a

the "build-to-host.m4" file seems to originally be from gnulib, and if that is installed on the system is not required by the build. So I see that as "part of the build system" myself. I mean the github repository with

Having a "simple" declarative build definition won't help if the thing that interprets and executes that definition is shipped with the package, as said interpreter is likely orders of magnitude more complex and harder to per

As a brit living in the US I also get tired being "corrected" on pronunciation or spelling too. And I always find the "Internet Stereotype" british (or Bri'ish :) accent amusing - it's like an inconsistent mix
