Hopefully that's it. In the previous generation only the PRO parts had ECC and those were only sold to OEMs.

Now that's annoying. That specs page for the 8700G used to say "ECC Support: Yes (Requires platform support)" three weeks ago. They've since removed it.

The coolest hardware in the cheap router/APs that run OpenWRT is the programmable Ethernet switch. VLANs on such cheap hardware is an awesome tool to split up stuff at the ethernet level without having to have a bunch of NICs. This doe

Seems like there's no need to wait for the PRO versions as the 8700G has ECC support: https://www.amd.com/en/product/14066 Power can probably be limited in the BIOS to whatever level you prefer. There's

AM5 has iGPU in all parts which makes it easier to use as server indeed. But normal AM5 parts are chiplet designs so they idle at relatively high power. These are monolithic dies from the laptop line so they have that going for them. Accord

These parts could also be interesting for NAS and other home server setups if the monolithic die leads to better idle power usage and they haven't lost ECC support. Unfortunately getting verified ECC support in AM5 seems to be quite di

It's the cost of RFID tags that makes this not viable for grocery. Grocery has much lower value per item so the cost for each tag is prohibitive. Last time I ran that math it would wipe out the entire margin of the business. Grocery re

Isn't all of this obvious for a modern C or C++ codebase? Is the state of Android baseband so bad that these are useful suggestions? Are they at least properly ring-fenced from the host CPU/RAM these days?

Golf carts have used mainly 48V for traction for a long time. And there are now great options for 48V LFP batteries for them. So far that usually means also running a 12V converter to power accessories. If the automotive world finally gets

There are a few on YouTube already if you want to check them out. And for an old Golf that's probably even easier. EVWest and others probably already have a drop in kit for those.

The Chinese manufacturers are definitely promising but it's still an import ordeal for a dubious quality product. For now we're making do with some second hand lead-acid UTVs and planning on doing lithium conversions mostly to get

For a farm run around I'd love an EV version of this with just a small motor and battery. Even a simple golf cart costs more than this these days. A 50kW motor and 25kWh LFP or Sodium battery would be plenty and should allow hitting a

The 5800X3D had all cores with extra cache just like the 7800X3D. They didn't do a 5900X3D or 5950X3D so the problem didn't exist before.

AMD has had heterogeneous cores since at least the beginning of the year with the 7900X3D and 7950X3D. The differences between cores there are even bigger than with these parts. Some cores clock lower but have more cache than others so depe

Isn't that exactly what has already happened? Nvidia has released a fully open-source kernel side driver for their current hardware, probably because of pressure from the hyperscalers that don't want to run closed-source code in t

Lipo chemistries used in hobby applications are often rated at 5C charging for example versus 4C here. To get a good comparison in a car we need a manufacturer to actually do the development work and release a car that can be tested in real

250 to 350kW chargers are already in common use. And batteries that charge this fast too. What's news here is that they've done it on an LFP battery which is the cheaper kind of lithium chemistry.

If it's putting out the power you need with good efficiency just gear it for whatever torque you want for the application. The idea that torque and power represent different qualities out of an engine comes from manufacturers quoting j

That's clearly not enough. There's a continuum between producing exact input copy and having genuine creativity because the model actually learned something. A model that just reformats code and changes all the variable names woul

It's not clear that "data mining" covers this use. These models are huge, big enough that they can just contain direct copies of copyrighted works. They've been shown to reproduce them relatively easily. The argument is

Total drag is the coefficient multiplied by the frontal area. It may have a very good coefficient but with a much larger area and thus much more total drag.

GPU drivers are notorious for being out of tree and even there most GPU drivers over the years have been upstream. Even if you limit to just GPUs AMD are not the same as Nvidia. The in-kernel AMD driver is the primary one these days and eve

That's a good nitpick. In recent computer chess discussions MCTS is usually shorthand for the search that was novel with AlphaZero and then copied by LeelaChessZero. But you're absolutely right, MCTS doesn't even need to impl
