Probably because they want people to buy the W/MI series cards instead. Though looking around you can get an MI60 on ebay for $500, seems really good for 32gb and still seems to be supported by rocm (as it's just an MI50 with more

Also taking the risk on assuming it'll get stuff like microcode updates, notable for the constant churn of new speculative execution attacks or other things that can cause those impossible-to-track-down occasional instability issues.

The lack of concept of "knowledge" is a big one for me - if that's an emergent thing it hasn't even shown hints of this yet. This to me seems a pretty hard line right now, as it limits their capability of things even ine

I'd guess it's not restricted to the /etc/shadow file and could leak the contents of "any" memory in the system - that is just used as an example that can be (relatively) easily searched for in memory due to ha

They now have Xilinx's AI cores since they merged (acquired?). https://www.xilinx.com/products/technology/ai-engine.html seems to be a high-level overview. I think their latest APUs for laptops have this IP i

We've also done some initial experiments, and seen no improvements in productivity, and the comments from the people using it were rather negative. Maybe it's sector dependent? Maybe systems programming doesn't have enough re

It feels like the "natural" development of VC funded websites - they offer a service that's heavily subsidized and losing money hand over fist to displace other services (I guess in Reddit's case it was self-hosted forum

True - the majority of the BART maintenance cost is the rolling stock not the track. How much does the average commuter spend on car maintenance and fuel? Or even the capital expenditure in the first place, if that commute is the difference

I had a similar issue - the glass on the back of my Pixel (5 I think?) cracked right by the power button, and it seemed to be kind of OK but I got a new phone anyway, but left the old one in my glove box of my car where I used it for the bl

That versatility comes at a cost though - nothing in silicon is free. It clearly couldn't compete with GPUs in their strengths, and couldn't find it's own niche, which is why it was cancelled. And I'm not sure it'll

Depends on why they "pass" - it might be "They're solid, but not a good fit for my specific team". Assuming each interviewer is focused on their specific group and the skills they actually use and need day-to-day. D

One issue is that the memory model isn't just a flat space that can be addresses by any pointer value - it may look similar to one if your compiler and OS let you, but doing things like accessing memory allocated as a different type

As far as I can see it doesn't override the default font sizes at all for the body text. If that's not legible I see that as a client default problem, not an issue with the content.

For the pedestrian problem at least, it seems even cheaper to just use a button. That also completely bypasses the problem of trying to detect if they intend to cross. Is there really much of a disadvantage? The pedestrian has to be in a sp

I think the underlying question is to see if regret (or other difficulties like financial hardship or things that require a state actor to intervene) are correlated with planning and consideration. Measuring that is the difficulty. And as t

One big difference is that if you decide that art isn't your thing, you can move on and try something else. But Children are a big commitment. For many people it's well worth it, for others maybe not. And that's fine - so lon

That "hope" appears to be founded on statements made to them by Reddit themselves, according to the linked post and it's communication snippets. Or at least a much larger time to recalibrate that "hope".

Expert systems used to be considered "AI". Certainly some optimization algorithms like genetic algorithms were "AI". Pretty much any system that makes a decision was considered "AI" at some point. The problem i

Pretty much anything "evil" that can be done with the Intel Management Engine stuff can be done in SM mode, which was introduced in the 386SL and in every x86 since. And that's before we get into update-able microcode, or eve

This feels like an acronym that takes longer to mentally decode than just writing the thing out. I've never heard of this one (or at least not seen it commonly enough to actually be worth remembering), and at least for me formulating a

I think I edited it within seconds of posting, it was just "Or worse" IIRC, and noticed I'd missed it when rewording it just before posting. I guess you were lucky enough to see it immediately :P It's a bad habit of mine

In my experience a memory error is often the result of a logic bug - that is the "first failure" of an existing issue in C++ is a memory error, but the originating logic error still exists and would just cause a different issue un

It's what the UK does too - I never had to file anything for taxes if I only had reported salaried income. Even stuff like interest or investments is mostly automatically handled, you often need to be doing something a little unusual i

One question is what proportion of the memory is being used for different things, and which of those you'd notice. The actual text representation is tiny compared to (for example) the framebuffer of said text rendered to the screen. I

Just to clarify: I'm not saying there isn't an issue, I don't know the "acceptable" failure rates and proportion of sales to judge, but there's certainly enough to investigate. I'm just questioning the spe
