Which the white house immediately walked back. That's happened at least 4 times now so it's definitely a deliberate strategy. A strategy of deliberate ambiguity, one might say.

Many of these CPUs (I'm tempted to say "the vast majority") will be sold in prebuilt systems. Even for enthusiasts CyberPowerPC, Maingear, etc. sell lots of systems.

If you reduce the power target of the RTX4090 to 60% you still get 90% of the performance[0]. This is becoming the norm for new hardware it seems. [0]: https://youtu.be/60yFji_GKak?t=1020

I haven't investigated how true this is, but I've long suspected the reason that PostgreSQL remains relatively difficult to install, configure, replicate, and cluster is that most of the development is done by companies who sell p

It's funny because one of the most common arguments I see inside Reddit communities is irrelevant posts getting upvoted in a subreddit, and wanting the mods to step in - or not. People just see a post on their frontpage that they like

Chinese law should almost never be considered something that constrains the government, and especially not in grandiose cases like this. The government will do as it pleases, regardless of the law. That is more of a strong press release tha

What a nested rust iterator is doing, semantically, is creating a struct containing a struct containing a struct... that calls a method that calls a method that calls a method. The compiler has to do a lot of work to make that into anything

I remember a Rust AWS library worked like you describe (An old version of rusoto, I think, deprecated now). I wasn't familiar with how AWS credentials are usually managed so I was very confused why I had to make my own struct and imple

As an aside, I've been trying to learn basic GIS with PostGIS and QGIS and it's been quite frustrating. I had a dataset of roads which were broken up into short segments, which I wanted to merge back together based on a key. Theor

Not that it makes much difference, but "knowledge base" is a much older term than 1-2 years. The Microsoft knowledge base is the first thing that came to mind, which started in 2003. Tools like Lotus Notes were using the term befo

Things like HomePlug GreenPHY are used for smart meters. (Also electric car charging for some inexplicable reason) I don't know how they're typically deployed but I'd think at least a few miles? It wouldn't make much sen

That is a useful measurement, but it's not quite what I'd want. In that test, the CPUs are running on an open-air test bench with a 360mm AIO liquid cooler with the fans running at 100%. I don't think any of us are going to b
