Aren’t private donations supposed to go to the treasury where they are then allocated by congress?

No, they were optimizing for FLOPS/$.

It's definitely not registers; the SPEs had 128 128-bit registers each. In some ways it's like cache, it has the latency of L1 cache (6 cycles), but it's fully deterministic in terms of access.

Eugh, maybe? The PS3 only had 256mb of main memory so you'd be pretty limited there. Memory bandwidth, great at the time, is pretty poor by today's standards (25 gb/s)

I have a curious mind too but I don't go cutting up neighbourhood cats to see what they look like on the inside.

I mean at one point I had LLVM targeting Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii so I'm sure it's possible, it just needs some imagination and elbow grease :)

Maybe they can resurrect the C backend for LLVM and run that through their proprietary compilers? It's probably not straightforward but the users of NonStop hardware have a lot of money so I'm sure they could find a way.

Will there be a publicly available post-mortem when the root cause has been identified?

Flatbuffers satisfies those requirements and doesn’t have varint shenanigans.

Just because something works for you to lead a normal life doesn’t mean it works for everyone.

That's why I said 32-bit Win32 :-)

Callee clean-up was (is? is.) standard for the 32-bit Win32 API; it's been pretty stable now for coming up on 40 years now.

There are two ways to make a population healthy. You can either eliminate sick people through treatment, or eliminate sick people through death. I think this administration is picking the latter.

This is quite possibly the most anti-semitic comment I've ever seen here.

The only thing he has ever directed that has been a net positive to society, Operation Warp Speed, is something he disowns because of the rabid anti-science stance of his base.

It’s because he only knows how to destroy, not build, and destroying is always easier than building. It may be impactful but it is going to set America back decades.

Every evolution of the web, from Web 2 giving us walled gardens to Web 3 giving us, well, nothing, to what we have now is taking us further from a network of communities and personal repositories of knowledge. Sure, fidelity has gotten bett

I'm not quite sure what this means? DMA is the only mechanism that the SPUs had to access memory outside of their local store; it wasn't a matter of getting it right or wrong. Reading RSX memory by SPU DMA wasn't any faster t

I can't recall exactly but that sounds right. It was exceptionally slow.

The PS4 and beyond is entirely creditable to Mark Cerny who spent a lot of time talking to developers who had spent years pulling their hair out with the PS3.

All the time. I don't like LLMs, and don't trust them. I tried to use copilot but ended up shutting it off because I spent more time trying to decipher and ignore its (wrong) suggestions than I did solving the problem.
