Size of index is pretty low, to be honest. First thing I tried was 0x5F3759DF , and it found nothing. It deletes non-quoted symbols such as + from queries and pretty much ignores parentheses. I tried few more queries and came out disappo

I, for one, hope that more research would be put into lowering the cost of atomic clocks, not into precision, so it is possible to put atomic clock into everyday devices.

I believe that expendable upper stage alone costs 10 million. It can't cost them less than that.

The thing is that it can deliver that 100 tons to LEO at a lower cost than a single Falcon 9 launch. You would see fundamental changes in how the industry behaves. Now you have incredible engineering efforts that are put into weight reducti

> Well, the issue is that baseline level of commitment is extremely low, to the point where I don't think it's an actual relationship if you only talk once a year. Once a year and zero are practically the same. If your interac

I don't think that's a good idea. If you set aside some time every few weeks to do that it won't fell good. You will be contacting many people in the little span of time and won't be able to have a conversation with all

Not everyone is good at socializing. Just live your life is a terrible advice for someone who is struggling with people.

But if you have those skills, it's pretty simple. And most people here do have them.

Think of it as the lowest common denominator. It isn't "this person is not important, so I will contact them only once a year", it is "this person is important enough for me to contact them AT LEAST once per year".

Shit happens, you might have crunch at work for some time and spend much less time on social activities in that period, which means that you loose contacts with anyone but close friends. It requires conscious effort to leave that state. And

It is much easier to get protected from radiation on mars, than in the outer space. Nobody knows for certain how would childbirth look like in zero g and it's just the one of many problems. Mars is much more hospitable than pure vacuum

Definitely not in a single launch, since ISS weighs around 500 tons. And I think designs for space stations in starship era would be different(more heavy, but orders of magnitude cheaper to produce), so something like ISS in a starship era

Steam developer agreement forbids such practice. You can't set base price of your game any higher than in other stores. And, to be fair, situation isn't as dire as you described it, you can still download and play Rocket League wi

dietPI is still Linux, and all performance limitations that come with Linux are still there. They compare it with Alpine, which is much slimmer than dietPI, yet, Alpine still looses in application performance by quite a margin.

It is definitely not only crypto miners. Gaming market exploded like crazy. PS5 is somewhere in 800$ price range, for example.

Sorry, I confused it with Archive access tier. Still, you need to spend at least 50$ to download it from AWS.

Glacier cost in the cheapest region is 3.6$/TB/month. Plus at least 50$ to download that terabyte once it's needed(if hardware that you're backing up is not in AWS), and I don't even factor in retrieval costs. You c

You don't play on the highest settings in competitive shooters even when you are CPU bound and your machine outputs same amount of frames regardless of performance. Higher settings means more distractions for them.

Because of memory bandwidth limitations. There are EIGHT memory channels in M1 Max. To pull off that amount of bandwidth you would need to do a lot of crazy engineering and get not that much in return, because this approach doesn't sca

But you can't get all these things in the browser. You don't just increase CPU frequency and get free performance anymore. You need conscious effort to use GPU computing, conscious effort to ditch current I/O stack for io_uri

But you can't get faster hardware cheaper anymore. Not naively faster hardware anyways. You are getting more and more optimization opportunities nowadays though. Vectorize your code, offload some work to the GPU or one of the countless

AMD is increasingly competitive, but still doesn't have good software compatibility outside of gaming. GPUs are not the priority for them. They basically make 10 times less cards and aren't going to make more. Which is sad since w

If you look at the source article it is clearly stated. > Year over year, total AIB shipments increased by 25.7% this quarter compared to last year at 12.7 million units, and up quarter-to-quarter from 11.47 million units in Q2’21.

They take up chip capacity on different fab. You can't produce gaming Ampere on TSMC. They are built on different architectures that have only name in common. The difference between "Ampere" and "Ampere" is bigger t

This is definitely not the case. A100, which is used for most "AI supercomputers" is manufactured on TSMC fabs, while Nvidia's gaming cards are produced on Samsung fabs. AMD produces their gaming GPUs on TSMC, but they are so
