They compete head to head in machine learning applications. Xilinx's latest Versal device added AI engines to accelerate ML further. In a situation where AMD owns Xilinx, I would think they execs would decide not to add those types of

It's amazing to me how lawyers can spin the same set of facts in opposite ways, to tell any story they want without telling a lie. In college I dated a girl in her first year of law school. This technique was something they are taught

This bothers me as well. Using "he" generically is accepted use of the English language so one could be forgiven for continuing to use it. By using "she" you are going out of you way to choose a gender, when you could

He is just claiming no evidence and cherry picking data. I can just as easily point to other countries that have limited their Covid cases to single digits. Do we really need a controlled experiment to prove to you that wearing masks l

I would think that the number of people turning 18 would be offset by the number of 29 year-olds living with their parents that turned 30 in the same time.

The piece that people are missing is the concept of SNR, or signal-to-noise ratio. These streaks are noise, which raises your noise floor and thus raises your detection threshold. Think of the way your eyes adjust to bright light - you ca
