Probably wouldn't work in the general case, as each of the bytecode streams would generate memory accesses that are completely independent. Not to restate the obvious, but SIMD relies on locality of data access to keep the SIMD unit fe

Ah, if only. To the first point: the GPL is not used nearly as much as it should be. Thus there's still a strong selection bias on court cases in general being about the GPL, since the GPL is not selected very often. (And there's

Cool! A discussion where the anarchists are represented clearly! Do I understand libertarianism the way sgentle does? He compares anarchism:libertarianism::permissive license:GPL, so I guess he's using libertarianism in the sense of &q

I won't respond to replies. There is an undocumented pin which, when properly pulled {up|down} on startup, a.k.a. strapped, causes the ME to bypass its internal boot ROM and read from an external bus. It is used internally to develop t

I honestly doubt Google has thought of this. Their modus operandi appears to be (1) launch edgy experimental stuff, (2) forget it exists, (3) be reminded it exists, (4) ruin it by killing it or rewriting it.

I'm disturbed seeing this article as well, but if the tech industry is going to face the facts, this needs to be upvoted. Gamergate? Uber's woes? It's indicative of a larger problem. I would prefer less commentary and more ca

Of course, his last point is probably the most telling: "Dig more coal...the Teslas are coming." One of his major sources is eia.gov, and their 2015 report has electric power use at 38% of total use. Transportation is another 28%

> Who else today is like them? > PARC still exists, but Google advanced technology projects is probably the closest. Neither of these is that close to the old Xerox PARC since they tent to focus on near term commercializable projects.

The click bait title is clickbait. But there is an interesting nugget in there: the article claims Detroit plans to start doing ride sharing and other services where they can lease their autonomous tech as a fleet. Uber seems to be behind o

I do appreciate the reply! I did indeed just mean clustering of laptop choices in the past, with no "company blessed" laptop to date. I then went with the idea that the company could bless one in the future. Thanks for explaining

I think something that "goes without saying" is that their first-rev design has some essential simplicity to it: - No control flow instructions (though apparently some operations can have a repeat count) - Fundamentally simple arc

Probably (until they change the telemetry traffic pattern). I don't know what it is. Why engage in their game and try to whack-a-mole their software, if you have a choice. I admit, for some, there is no alternative. And that's why

I would think with a team as large as Ubuntu, they already have their "favorite developer laptop," and it just might be the XPS. (Disclaimer: I honestly don't know what it is.) But his suggestion has merit: in addition to the

The accuracy and dynamic range comparison plots seem to say there are some "NaN" conditions, with the note that it aborts the calculation. It might be worth digging into the bit representation to find out exactly what happens, for

Sure, the burden is on them to make this real, but not for them to prove it to _you_. If they want to prove to the chronically homeless that they can get a home, they only need to follow through with the home. Or perhaps they want to prove

Neutralizing the ME is not a full "disable," because Intel has made that exceptionally hard to do. Even this "neutralized ME" still boots before the main x86 CPU, and still runs even when the machine is off (if it's

What are you wondering about, "if true"? That the Intel ME can be neutralized? That the Intel ME on Librems has been neutralized? I can't tell.

The linked article here is surprisingly accessible! I would add just one small tidbit of advice that might help interested people get up to speed: skim the paper, then look at the implementation. Being able to work with actual code can make

This is just a guess -- being very late to the conversation -- but in case someone even later is curious, this may be the well documented case of the .NET framework recompiling libraries in the background after an update. It seems like it w

Thank you, Mitch. Thank you, Freada. Though I doubt real, lasting change can happen while Kalanick continues to lead, this is the kind of leadership I had hoped investors would be giving him right now.
