The issue is that many of the desirable farmed fish like tuna and salmon are carnivores. Farming them still requires catching mass quantities of less-commercially-useful fish along with the issues that has. Edit: I should say part of the is

Surely the NSA can tell companies about their vulnerabilities without having to actually log in and fix them? "You have a server on 23.117.25.208:3999 which is vulnerable to CVE-2021-1120, fix it."

I've been using KiCad professionally for 2 years, and I'm pretty happy with it. I made a token effort to try some commercial offerings but at this point the transition cost seems higher than the benefit for the mid-range boards I&

Wow, Blender's video editor is really coming along. I'll have to try it out. Might be the best open source video editor available.

My understanding is that LLVM already does software emulation of floating point for const evaluation, in order to eliminate any variation due to the host architecture. https://llvm.org/doxygen/structllvm_1_1APFloatBase.

Something I would like is the ability to disable extensions on specific domains. I don't need any of my extensions on my webmail, GitHub, my bank, or local intranet dashboards. I only install a few extensions that I need and trust but

I remember reading (in 2012 maybe) that ISA doesn't really matter and decoders don't really matter for performance. The decoder is such a small part of the power and area compared to the rest of the chip. I had a hypothesis that a

Its his style to feign ignorance, do something stupid, then explain what happened. He has a masters degree in electrical engineering and, well, does so much bad stuff that it has to be on purpose.

I'm surprised. There have been many failures in the past to outdo ARM's cores: Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Samsung, Qualcomm. Granted, some of those are ancient history or were more management failures than technical failures. It seemed t

Wow that was very good and comprehensive. Glad Wendover decided not to burden the runtime with an unfunny joke every 25 seconds.

It's even being discounted! $50 off MSRP at Microcenter and $30 off at Amazon. Insanity! Pandemonium!

You can't "just" do it, but it is possible as shown by Intel Rocket Lake.

MooresLawIsDead suggested this as well and I think it's a good idea especially in the current climate, though it's hard to react situationally when it takes >12 months to launch a product even an iterative one. Take the 5600XT

The Iranian government is not a significant source of ransomware, to my knowledge, so I don't see how that's relevant at all.

Chips are recycled, at least the valuable ones. Go on AliExpress and you'll find lots of expensive FPGAs reballed, iPhone chips for repair, classic computer chips that are no longer made, etc.

Samsung stopped custom CPU core development because their cores weren't very good and because ARMs got better and their R&D cost is shared amongst the industry. Samsung still makes CPUs, they just use licensed ARM cores.

Nowadays RISC seems to mean "load-store architecture" but I think the term should be left in the 90s. CS curriculum is slow to evolve.

If you're talking about the python cryptography fiasco that was dropping support for S390 (31-bit architecture discontinued in 1999). S390X (64-bit architecture introduced in 2000) is supported by Rust, though not necessarily by Python
