I'd like to see a comparison running different speeds of memory, different CAS latencies, etc. Can you run this thing safely with 3200mhz? or do you really need 3600mhz?

Well the OODA loop part is totally off. IT'S NOT A LOOP! Also, it's not a decision making process, it's a learning process. The decisions are supposed to be instictual like walking is. The worldview is there, but if you don&#

Already sort of happened in the mechanical watch space. When the quartz crisis hit in the 1970's all the traditional Swiss watchmakers had to move upmarket with fancier complications. I expect the same thing to happen to ICE automobile

Don't forget Tandem! The original distributed/nonstop database (in 1981 no less). And the originators of the 5-minute paper. HPE truly is where greatness goes to die. https://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/tandem&

You're suggesting Julius Steicher shouldn't have been charged in the Nuremberg trials? There is a direct comparison to the actions taken leading up to and during WWII and now. It's the exact same material being published agai

A trove of emails between Steve Bannon, Breitbart, Milo and I think Paul Joseph Watson were released a while ago. In those emails Bannon instructs Milo/etc to target specific groups. There were multiple instances of this throughout the

Back in the 1990's when the AMD Athlon first came out Slot 1 was supposed to share the bus with the DEC Alpha. The idea was you replace the bios and you could use the same motherboard for both DEC Alpha or AMD Athlon. Of course, that n

This thread is a little perplexing. There's some great commentary going on here, and some fantastic references. However, why does it have to be a binary Text OR visualization? Code gets loaded from a file into an AST, from there you

Quantrix modeler is actually the successor to Quantrix for nextstep. Quantrix was a contemporary of Improv. Not sure I remember which came first. But Quantrix was the better of the two. I'm collecting a pile of "good ideas"..

One note is that perhaps people roll the dice because they want to feel some control and forward momentum. But if you're sitting in the car, being autonomously driven somewhere will you be so impatient? I assume the car will give you a

Just as a point of reference here - I'm not taking sides in this debate, I vividly remember reading about the 1999 Toronto 87 car pile up. Fog on a straight road caused an 87 car pile up after a trailer jackknifed. The point in the art

Essentially a compiler would have to add energy pressure alongside its existing scheduling for memory atency/pressure. Doable, but someone will have to take the first jump.

Can this run a RISC-V core? It would be very nice to bring the cost of experimentation in CPU cores down to something easily accessible to even students. In the same way that RPI brought computing and hardware interfacing down to basically

The article says they have a range of 500Miles and a flight time of 1hr - that's 500M/hr. Do current radar systems track a plane with enough frequency/detail to observe an aircrafts performance (turn rate, climb, speed, etc)?

The response to the exploding offer is incorrect. The correct response is "No thank you." For extra style points tack on "But it was great talking with you, I'll be sure to tell my colleagues about you."

On the opposite team Al-Qaeda and ISIS snipers learned to use wool blankets. So if you're ever in a war-zone and see a nice wool blanked in the middle of nowhere, take cover.
