When you want a clean room non-GPL implementation of something GPL that already exists, you ask the developers not to look at the original. I don't see how this is any different.

I'm not arguing that Sony are saints and Microsoft is the devil. I agree that Gamepass is awesome value and forced Sony to improve their PS+ offerings (competition is awesome!). However, there's a stark difference between Sony buy

Sony has created or acquihired many of its first party studios that develop original IP specifically for PlayStation. Or they just fund third-party studios to create new exclusive games. You could argue that, if not for Sony, many of those

But would have prevented many players from actually enjoying Blizzard games. Personally, I am not interested in purchasing an Xbox or installing Windows on my PC, even if the merger is finalized.

By cloud gaming they probably mean things like Playstation Plus and Xbox Game Pass, because, in the higher tiers, they come bundled with streaming access to the games in the service.

And then there's the SSD controller, which yet again tries to maintain the illusion of efficiently supporting random I/O. For software that tries to get the best possible performance of the physical media, avoiding the OS and cont

Astera Labs have a commercial version of this that works through CXL (assuming you have a platform that supports it :-)), meaning you can actually have load/store access to the memory instead of using the block interface. https:/

The host binary will include intermediate representation of the compute code to be compiled by the device driver. This already exists, see SYCL + SPIR-V. Intel's oneAPI is one implementation of this approach.

There's a significant momentum behind CXL [1]. Samsung already announced a CXL DRAM module [2]. From where I sit, it's all but inevitable that this technology will get broader adoption, at least with large CSPs. Its benefits are j

Many things. Capacity, Bandwidth, Serviceability [1]. It also paves the road towards disaggregated memory [2]. edit: The official Compute Express Link (CXL) website has an article about the benefits of this technology [3]. [1] - https:&#x2

Sounds like they have created a proprietary customer-oriented solution similar to zoned namespaces (ZNS) [1]. I wonder if other companies will follow, because there are some significant benefits. But hopefully they'd just use the open

Average salaries from these types of aggregate reports are misleading since they are mostly representative only of the low-end local range. The median salary for senior engineers (5-10 years of experience) in Warsaw, according to levels.fyi

Certainly, that's why I responded. Tech salaries are becoming bimodal (or even "trimodal" [1]), and different types of companies are targeting different segments of the talent market. This skews the perception people have on
