I think klelatti is doubting whether AMD could trust Intel to pursue AMD's best interest.

I mostly disagree with this line of reasoning. Yes, financialization is bad, but Intel would have been fine if its process went fine. We probably will never know what exactly went wrong, but I think the current best guess is this: Intel set

I very much doubt this. When EUV decision was made Intel was at the top of the world and had more volume than TSMC. As I understand Intel's reluctance was mostly about doubt whether ASML could deliver, and while ASML delivered I must s

US is not lacking in CPU design. I agree OpenRISC (and RISC-V) is worthy of support, but they benefit China more than US, and it would be poor use of US tax money to benefit China more than US.

Customizable pattern matching is in fact unusual, although not unheard of. Traditional pattern matching is very much not a function call, because it is compiled with assumption that it can't be customized and no arbitrary user defined

Python is not the first language to have customizable pattern matching. Scala can do the same with extractor objects.

My understanding is that protein folding is not a bottleneck in drug design. Yes, once you identified a target protein, its structure is useful to selectively target it. But the main bottleneck is identifying such targets. In other words, t

Note that Portunus still uses OpenLDAP, it's just "OpenLDAP server is completely managed by Portunus". lldap doesn't use OpenLDAP at all.

As a former South Korean student, I'd say it's focused on standardized test but that doesn't imply rote learning. At some level of test difficulty, it starts to be more efficient to actually understand the material, because y

If you are talking about Figure 1 of https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.04426 , you are reading it wrong. Y axis is bits-per-byte and lower is better.

The title is somewhat misleading in that Virgil has native x86 backend as well as WebAssembly backend.

Dereferencing a null pointer in C++ doesn't reliably crash, but dereferencing a null pointer in GCC and Clang C++ compiled with -fsanitize=null does reliably crash, with useful error messages, and it is documented to be so. You are not

If you are interested in hot-swapping, I highly recommend OpenAI Five paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.06680 . It includes 10 months log of how they adapted the model to releases of Dota 2 version 7.19, 7.20, and 7.21.

Automotive companies, in fact, have product liability. It's about liability, not morality.

They can (and do) revoke API access from bad guys. They can't do that to downloaded models. Look, I don't like what OpenAI does, but "API access, but no model download" makes sense if you are worried about misuses.

I think analogy with medicine is fruitful. Small molecules can't be held responsible either, but they can be recalled from market and they do. Our pharmacology isn't good enough to design, say, vaccine that works worse for Asians,
