That is an interesting way to frame the situation when AMD’s solution doesn’t even run hdmi 2.1 under Linux. and intel has a solution for this too, in fact…

JSON is too far, says the engineering culture still relying on a pile of shell scripts like it’s 1970. (that’s unfair, there’s probably tooling to build the shell scripts automatically I bet)

The other problem is that C’s engineering culture is termites all the way down. A test resource getting linked into a final build is, itself, a problem - the tooling should absolutely make this difficult, and transparent/obvious when

letting dist builds be linked against test resources is a design defect to begin with, and the fact that this is easy/trivial/widely-accepted is a general indication of the engineering culture problems around C. Nobody in Java wor

You don’t need to go to that extent even - simply properly segregating test resources from dist resources would have prevented this, and that’s something Java has been doing for 20 years. It’s not sufficient against a determined attacker, b

This is something that should have unit/integration tests inside the tooling itself, yeah. If your assertion is that X function is called / in the environment X then the function should return Y then that should be a test especial

In this world you either evolve to Elastic/Cassandra/etc or return to Postgres :crab: You really gotta search your soul and ask yourself: your cool idea really a database, or just a plugin for Postgres? And the answer is often the

The money isn’t in return for some stake in intel though. The money is in return for doing something sub-optimal to the interests of the shareholder. It’s compensation in return for a taking. If you take without giving something back, that’

Was looking through semiengineering for some more sources and some of them address it. Aging (I should probably say "aging" instead of electromigration, I'm not referring to just one effect here) is such a problem below 10nm

ROMED8-2T is one of the all-star boards of the modern era imo. Like that's literally "ATX-maxxed" in the Panamax sense - you can't go bigger than that in a traditional ATX layout, and there is no point to having a bigge

true, I am just pushing back on the idea that "abusing a chip is mostly a myth" and "if a CPU is working on the day you buy it, it's fine for desktop use-cases". For server parts that can't be OC'd - true

Yes. Writing CUDA that calls CuBLAS or CUB is still writing CUDA. Lots of kernels and functions (functors, etc) are "business requirements" moreso than math libraries. It's no different than the CPU code world, there are f

that's not true at all, XMP is very much within the wheelhouse of "typical desktop use-cases" and can absolutely damage a CPU from electromigration within a matter of years. (or rather, the overclocked/out-of-spec memory

Someone here recently drew the analogy to the rat dystopia experiments. Some of us become uncomfortably nervous to function, some withdraw entirely, and then there’s the “beautiful ones”.

That’s also a deliberate thing - cloud providers have consciously avoided increasing the per-unit performance of a vcpu, you still get the same Sandy Bridge performance in 2024 as you did in 2012. They actually go all the way to the extent

A ton of the problem is people turning everything into dynamic this or that. Wordpress culture, basically. Most pages can really just serve a jekyll/astro static-generated page and be fine. But if you shove a database and php in the mi

One might describe it as conservatism, had conservatism chosen to anchor itself to preventing change rather than social/human regression and the advancement of capitalism and laissez-faire regulatory/economic policy.
