Basically Intel does fine when the lowest 2 levels of management are able to keep the company functional. The decision to bet the company on 10nm came from the top (Krzanich). If the entire company is dysfunctional, no amount of low-level w

Sell last year's Epyc workstation on the used market and buy a new one. (Seriously - I'm about ready to buy a used Zen1 workstation.)

Was good to hear Lex Fridman's take on where we're at. Honest question: how have people's experience with OpenAI Five been so far? I haven't had the time to check it out in detail so I'm paying close attention to wh

It's likely they have both. What they're shipping right now is the latter. What they're selling to investors is the former. Planet scale.

Your original post states: Apparently one of the big factors in Supermicro success is that it has over 900 different motherboard designs, and hundreds of hardware specialists which can customize them further to client wishes. How is

Your post is a non-sequitur. I'm not disagreeing that Supermicro makes customized designs.

Yeah, the Openmoko situation and OsmocomBB really highlights the nuances of the situation. I wish the FSF RYF requirements explicitly allowed a later release of a flash tool. (It seems like this only improves the user's freedom - sudde

Just speaking as one free software lover to another, I am happier that the Redpine Signal doesn't need downloadable firmware to function . It means that there will be just one version of firmware shipped. Just one version of firmware

That's a pretty bold claim to make. I assert that AMD is competitive [1] [2] and is definitely cutting into Intel sales [3] [4]. Even Intel's CEO thinks so [5]. Care to back up your claims with well known, respected, repeatable be

I'm not the author (he'll probably comment here in a sec), but if this is a problem, perhaps this project could become a patch to git itself. I'd be fine running a patched git that knows about bugs. Of course, then I'd w

Well, I can estimate my performance will surpass last years' shipping CPUs too. Because I'm the one making the estimate. ARM is definitely a juggernaut these days and it's great Intel has competition. But it's not an App

I was hoping they would at least make a passing reference to Amdahl's Law. As you optimize one part of the system so that it is blazingly fast or lower power or whatever, then the amount taken up by the rest of the system increases pro

There's a balance to be found by each app developer between roll-your-own and just-use-a-web-browser. There's room in there for Ultralight, Awesomium, Chromium, Dear Imgui, SDL, Cairo, WPF, even GDI+. That's basically because

I've seen that as well. I believe it boils down to a few AMD motherboard integrators that have rushed out products that are marginal - they work ok for simple use cases, but maxing them out reveals some edge cases they didn't work
