My understanding is that the culprit is partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs). Which are chemically the same thing (it seems?) as polyunsaturated fats. We need our carbon chains to be consistenty hydrogenated one way or the other, but not with

It costs a lot of money to develop an advanced CPU and deploy on an advanced node. You need a market for the chips to justify that so it's a bit of chicken or egg problem. The gap is slowly closing and I'm looking forward to a RIS

One of the things making x86 hard to implement is the flags register. Flags are set as a side effect of many instructions. I'd be really interested to see how Intel or AMD handle the flags in a modern processor. RISC-V gets rid of ISA

>> If what you say is correct about the comparison with Zen 1, you should keep in mind that Zen 1 (of which I also still have one) has an IPC equivalent with that of Intel Broadwell, a CPU launched in 2014, i.e. 10 years ago. So I jus

Can it connect to a serial port? I need a terminal to connect to a UART on embedded devices. This should be basic functionality on any terminal, but many don't seem to have it, they're just fancy local shells.

Is there a probabilistic test for Mersene primes? I thought they just wanted confirmation via independent calculation.

I sold the last of my vector arcade games to a friend when I was moving (Tempest and Space Duel). I threw in a PCB from Major Havoc too just to give it a good home. A few days later I decided to price check that board and some collector had

Maybe they just use pressure sensors to tell where the fluid is within the tank. Even a real-time simulation should have some measurements to self correct to some degree. Otherwise it'll diverge.

Was the explosion intentional? I thought they were hoping it would float for recovery but if not I makes sense to sink it.
