That would explain the lack of records about them, at least.

I was not here arguing in favor of explicitly tiered memory. The implied answer to your original question, "why not have a pin to cache functionality?" is that it's effectively the same as having another OS managed memory lay

It's well known that best sellers lists are manipulated in this way, but there's not a lot you can do about it. If I just ask 400 friends to buy my book, and compensate them in home cooked meals and quality time, is that unfair ma

What would it do when you pin more things than your cache can hold? Trigger an interrupt? It basically becomes another memory layer you'd need to manage.

Elected officials get into office with majority support of a constituency, but that's very far away from the majority of people supporting their collective actions while in office. In the US, politicians do what money wants them to, no

It's not really clear what you mean by the brain accumulating noise. An analog computer can suffer from compounding imprecision, because error bars carry forward. We are analog computers in a vague sense, but as humans we aren't i

Passwords work to a point, with some effort. Perhaps people just need to expect a level of security that is proportional to their efforts. No free lunch, it's all trade-offs. For people who are not capable of managing it themselves, th

This is like suing somebody for using chopsticks to eat a meal you sold them. Where is the financial damage? Do they sell their own automation products? Even if that's the case, and they're fork-sellers on the side in my analogy,

Perhaps it's a filler article picked from a pile: either a pile of prewritten articles or a pile or preselected topics.

CEOs generally have to do work to make sure that everyone else is executing well and toward the right goals. Successful CEOs either need to be hands-on and skillful, or get lucky with subordinates who execute well and toward the right goals

5G is junk for household internet.

Last I checked, Firefox no longer offers the Facebook container feature on fresh install. It was a hidden feature I had to go into about:config to set up... :(

Agreed. The first time I used Openshot it was a buggy mess that ignored my output settings when rendering... Within a year or two of that, I gave it another shot, and the glaring issues were fixed. It just did what I needed with no problems

Social media not designed to be addictive includes hacker news and PHP bulletin boards. Early Facebook might qualify as a relatively unaddictive UX as well, though they quickly started with the "optimizations".

Security work for an otherwise solved problem is finite. It's only infinite if they make it that way by continuing to pile on new (likely unwanted) features. Otherwise the frequency of needing patches will trend towards 0 and eventuall

It's as if writing "not a bribe" on a check passes muster. But we've also got superPACs, revolving door regulatory capture, legally exempted insider trading... Corruption is mainstream.

I think the idea is that if they did that, they'd be caught? There are mixers and monero and stuff, but maybe that's not enough.

They just "verbed a noun", I believe.

I find it annoying that other social networks offer "hide this" or "see less" features which are ineffective. E.g. Facebook won't stop putting clickbait "shorts" at the top, no matter what I do. YouTube ke

We have a substantial portion of the worlds knowledge available via smartphones, but it's obscured by a bunch of dishonesty, misinfo, attempts at manipulation, etc. In aggregate it's more like a battleground of thought than a utop

Realistically I think they long ago should have been banned from npm, with all submissions deleted.

Another way of looking at it... If you create something from iron oxide in the first place, it can't rust.

War is both a product of civilization and capable of bringing about the end of civilization.

I could have qualified "can't" with "reliably" or "consistently", I suppose.

What's the "literally" here? Try: They mention that they built on top of llava, which was released half a year ago.

It is tragic that we can't seem to use ports for their intended purposes because of crude attempts to limit the utility of a connection.

DIY is practice at learning new things and implementing what you've learned. It's a very good thing in that sense. Also, a healthy DIY (or maker, if you prefer) community is good as a check on commercial offerings. If businesses t

Memory speed is much less relevant when you have a giant L3 due to 3D stacked cache. I don't think you're trying to mislead anyone, but I'm pretty skeptical that you're getting 5-10% more than an X3D, even with memory ov

Toms has always had a slight bias towards Intel in their assessments, I think. Their picks are pretty reasonable, but the "highest performance for gaming" category with the 7950X3D and 13900k doesn't make a lot of sense to
