I bet the Samsung SoC's were a lot cheaper though as less sophisticated. Samsung -> TSMC got them away from a competitor, possibly cheaper (US -> Taiwan) and onto better roadmap. This is quite different and possibly a further sig

I'm interested in the financial aspect of this. Assuming US Fabs are more expensive than in Taiwan that then must mean lower margins or higher prices. I wonder if Apple for example has said that they are prepared to pay a premium to en

I'd usually have some sympathy with this perspective but there were so many red flags with FTX that there should be no excuse. Just because sophisticated fraud can sometimes be hard to detect doesn't give you a free pass for probl

> Hindsight 20/20. Valid point if they had effective due diligence but they didn't. FTX on a cost basis was 3% of the committed capital for the fund that held FTX. A minimal amount of due diligence on FTX would have saved them

Well I’m on 3 and have no problem accessing archive.org. This seems to be an adult content filter which you can turn off.

I wasn’t familiar with the term but from Wikipedia it seems to refer to the same melodic phrase being played by different musicians. Lutoslawski assigns different phrases to different instruments which is not quite the same.

One piece that isn't explicitly linked in the article but which makes very effective (but limited) use of aleatoric techniques is Lutosławski's Symphony Nº 3 which premiered in 1983. From Wikipedia: > Many passages in the Symph

Fantastic work by Ken yet again. It's striking how many of the early microprocessors shipped with bugs. The 6502 and 8086 both did and it was an even bigger problem for processors like the Z8000 and 32016 where the bugs really helped t

That's great. Thanks for such a comprehensive reply and for sharing this project.

This looks like a fascinating project that you've all put a huge amount of work into. Can I ask more about the motivations / use cases you see for it? You hint at games engines but I'm not clear how this would work in practic

It's a fantasy because there is no democratic consensus for a US model as you have admitted. The UK isn't the US at all by any number of key measures - market size, resources, dollar. The Tories ejected Truss when she tried the &#

So tell us what entrenched social attitudes were locked in place by EU membership.

If you read my comment you will find no link between Brexit and inflation. Rather that Brexit had undermined the discourse about how to manage the economy. I gave two specific examples of how this is happening. This is clearly relevant to a

It might not seem like the biggest issue at the moment but the departure from fact based economics seems to me to underly lots of UK’s current issues. One example. They have to find Brexit benefits so we have pointless plans to depart from

Hi dang! Thanks for clarifying and I'll make sure not to post any of my links posts again. I'm honestly surprised I got this many upvotes and never expected to get anywhere near the front page. Thanks for all your work on keeping

That's really interesting. Anything interesting on the processor / SoC side on their VR/AR work?

Thanks! Presumably most retail x86-64 applications will have an execution path that avoids AVX?

Absolutely. I suspect that someone has had 'develop Rosetta 2' on their job description since c2011 at the latest.

Thanks. I guess I was thinking that any patents on the instruction in the original article and of FP behaviour would predate 64-bit, but you're right that there could be relevant patents on x86-64. Thinking aloud, I wonder if AVX 512 i

Back in the 386 days Intel sued AMD for copying their microcode (which is copyrighted) not for reimplementing instructions.
