If I recall correctly, these integrated "AI accelerators" from both Intel and AMD are actually rather underpowered in comparison to an actual GPU (even the iGPU), at least in their current forms. So they don't have any perfor

I think both sides have a point, it's just a matter of perspective. One person's "drawing a black triangle" can be another's "black triangle moment". It's turtles all the way down. From the perspectiv

Correct. Whether or not a card has official GPGPU support is irrelevant for its use in mining, you can use pure Direct3D or OpenGL for mining if you really want it. The decision to not support customer GPGPU by AMD only hampers other useful

Can't wait to see some PDP-11 machine code from Rust (the last time I checked, freestanding C compiling still worked on GCC).

It's a font resolution problem, serif fonts from a PDF generated by a modern LaTeX compiler like XeLaTeX are still more readable. If you zoom in, you'll see the fonts are bitmaps so it's low resolution with no anti-aliasing.

Not just "convenience vs. security", also the plain old "backward compatibility vs. security". The BlueZ vulnerability was patched years ago but it was not enabled due to backward compatibility concerns: diff --git

+1. Pop-sci explanations of the frequency domain and Fourier transform are too many already, but does anyone know if there's a similar physical interpretation or visualization of the Laplace transform and the S domain?

Good idea - If you really do want to encrypt some data with hopes that it's recoverable by future archeologists, just use 128-bit symmetric ciphers (and remember not to use 256-bit ones). Hopefully Glover's algorithm can eventuall

Right. Tech videos can be a source of infotainment, but video-only documentation and tutorials are just a waste of time.
