Of course it’s against the law, and so is not obeying the speed limit. And both are being done every day widely and more or less blatantly with little to no chance for consequence. In fact you’re probably more likely to get a speeding ticke

Speaking as a small business owner/entrepreneur myself, there are lots of tax deductions available to people like me that aren’t to some collecting a salary. And that’s without doing any of the borderline or outright illegal stuff that

It is a bit silly to ban a useful drug like pseudoephedrine while large parts of the US is in an opioid crisis. Kind of like how lawn darts have disappeared from stores but you can still buy all sorts of weapons. That said, a lot of laws ar

But you'd get 95+% of the same benefit with the v-cache on just one CCD, which is what they did with the 7950X3D.

If they make one with extra cache on both CCDs, it would probably get some kind of AI branding and be at a significantly higher price point. Current games would hardly benefit from 16 cores all with that much cache.

15 years is a long time and reshaped the entire economy around basically free credit, so any change to that was going to be painful. And one of the real disconnects between economists and regular people is around the term inflation. Ordinar

I think a lot of people forgot that before Covid hit, Trump was headed for a fairly routine reelection. Many people thought he was doing a solid job, especially on the economy. All American elections still come down to the James Carville tr

Also nice to be able to boast a bigger uplift in the following gen due to regressing this one! But they definitely did need to get their efficiency under control since their parts were turning into fairly decent personal heating units.

I think it’s because AMD has been the “if only…” company for decades. It used to be in relation to Intel’s x86 dominance, and now it’s relative to Nvidia. The x86 fairy tale did eventually come true, which made a lot of money for investors

Well Nvidia is just 30 days away from going out of business.

I discovered TwoSet during the pandemic lockdowns and have enjoyed both their content and seeing them grow as people. It’s sad to see their YouTube channel coming to an end, but I think it has the potential to be a good move. One of their g

One can only hope we can get a browser the same way we got Linux, but as RMS was fond of pointing out, Linux’s success had a lot to do with the existence of a full suite of GNU software that could run on top of a new kernel. If only we had

Just want to add that a lot of military equipment is already designed to be airdropped in addition to any other expected battlefield stresses, so they’re probably some of the best candidates for rocket transport in existence.

Any studies done on potential health effects due to Ramadan will need to deal with the issue of noncompliance, i.e. to what degree do people observing Ramadan actually stick to the fast and not “cheat” at all. But I can imagine that due to

It’s very hard to do, but it is possible to have a high/low mix for a premium brand. The best example I can think of is Ralph Lauren. You can get their stuff all over the place, often at or under $50, yet it’s still a respectable brand

How else will people be able to go on independent aerial excursions to watch the ice sheets melt in real time? Kidding aside, we’re really going to name the company using a homophone of the most famous missing pilot in history?

Notice the “most of…” and “diminishing returns”. The vagueness is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that statement. Since world records are often broken by mere tenths or hundredths of a second, I would think that an Olympic games would err o

On the other hand, I want the Thunderbird master password to be distinct from my login password. It probably should be a configurable option.

I’m old enough to remember reading articles during the Clinton presidency that were handwringing over what would happen if the U.S. paid off all national debt and there were no more treasury bonds to purchase. Seems like a parallel timeline

Oh, certainly there are significant architectural advantages, especially for the vcache SKUs in gaming. It would just be interesting to see how much TSMC is still (or maybe further) ahead of Intel. Intel was so used to having the process ad

Is there any good estimate of how much of AMD’s power efficiency advantage can be attributed to TSMC’s process vs Intel’s? I know in GPUs AMD doesn’t enjoy the same advantage vs nVidia since they’re both manufactured by TSMC, and with nVidi

Had a minivan door close on my shoulder. The censor retracted it immediately, but I still felt a fairly decent impact from it. Definitely wouldn’t want to experience that with my head or anything more crushable.

With Lenovo it could be either. Thinkpads have historically worked pretty well with Linux. The more consumer oriented stuff can be hit or miss. Generally the more newfangled features (dual screens, detachability, extra eink displays, etc.),

Obviously $18m isn't enough to do a credible modern phone that's modular. Google couldn't bring one to market after investing probably at least an order of magnitude more in Project Ara. Plus the OS would be an even bigger ch
