The issue is more "Offensive" depends very much on context - not a black and white state. There are contexts that quote would not be offensive to anyone (more casual settings with a group that trusts each other), but also contexts

Of course they're not cheaper - they're not subsidized.

-O3 shouldn't enable flushing denormals to zero on gcc, the standard optimisation flags shouldn't affect the results - if they do it's likely a bug. To enable that, you need to use -Ofast or -ffast-math, there's a reas

There will always be more demand for customer service jobs than people who "enjoy" them, That is why they have to pay them. I think saying "Don't enjoy it? Don't do it!" is misunderstanding the gulf between tho

As someone who was born and raised in the UK but since moved to the US, to my eyes there's a different general idea about what "good" customer service is. In the UK I generally saw good customer service is "I had a probl

My understanding is that for general purpose registers, register renaming and other hazard-avoiding optimisations means that the register file is significantly larger than the total of (register width * number of registers). Do the SIMD uni

I guess something has to give when you ship a laptop with a chip larger (and on a smaller, more expensive node) than a $1k high-end GPU. That thing's transistor count is insane

I have no idea how to do this without opening yourself up to near-trivial cheating either, as the validation of work isn't intrinsically linked to the actual effort like current crypto coin systems rely on. And if there's a centra

Indeed, you can get them all here - https://gpuopen.com/documentation/amd-isa-documentation/ And that's the ISA that actually executes on the gpu, including instruction encoding and whatnot - not just some IR

I don't know the implementation details - but I wouldn't be surprised if it kept a full-screen-size already-scaled/tiled/centered image somewhere in memory Back when win95 and co were being made, decoding an image was a

The question would be how does that balance against "productive" years, where they're paying taxes, their work increases the GDP etc.

I think the parent is saying that the jpeg will need to be stored uncompressed in ram - likely in exactly the same format as the bmp is stored in memory - for the graphics system to actually render it out to screen. Not that any "extra

Also there's "levels" of hardware acceleration - using CUDA (or any other shader-level acceleration) will always be less efficient than a dedicated hardware block. And there's multiple steps in decoding a video - some st

You do realise that to be useful currency has to interact with the real world at some point? No amount of cryptocurrency-bro tech is going to help with a DOA washing machine...

They don't have to though - asymmetric authentication has been a thing for decades. The issue with current card transactions is the size of the identifier string - 16 digits isn't enough to do anything particularly useful with t

But the idea of it being a "currency" requires it to have some value outside of it being stored (IE someone wants to buy it). If the only reason for it existing is to show how many you have, it has zero value outside the possible

It's so you can do exactly what's being done here - see if you have reached the end of the array by comparing the current position pointer. Lots of iterator designs have a special "end" iterator you can compare against b

M1 isn't a chiplet is it? It's a monolithic SoC, and while it is packaged with the RAM that's just closer integration of chips that would normally be on-motherboard or a DIMM?

I'd suggest that if they had clear images, they would be less likely to be "unidentified" flying objects, and then identified as mundane things. Like a known object with some unexpected angle or optical illusion making it app

Also "cpu->cpu" NVLink is interesting. Though it was my understanding that NVLink is point-to-point, and would require some massive switching system to be able to access any node in the cluster anywhere near that rate without s

No, "bin" explicitly has no format, but it's interpreted by the bootloader/whatever on the board - you can see the linker script setting this up manually here: https://github.com/ferrous-systems/zero

I don't know if an ARM chip really would be underpowered - remember the consoles are using the ultra-low-power jaguar cores. Probably not a million miles away from an A57, or whatever denver-based core NVidia could pull out of the bag.

The /vast/ majority of these bugs will be in the optimiser and codegen - not in the frontend parser. The bytecode provided in vulkan (and d3d) won't really help with that.
