Similar "stats" to the Seawolf class. Planned: 29 Completed: 3 Canceled: 26 Active: 3 Yet, unlike the Zumwalts, they are considered a good boat.

No, it was a third driver. Per AMD >Notably, AMD's closed-source Vulkan driver currently uses a different pipeline compiler, which is the major difference between AMD's open-source and closed-source Vulkan drivers.

Perhaps, but the percentage of Americans foreign-born is at a 100 year high. And the percentage of under 18s who have a foreign-born parent is at an all-time high (25.6% of students, the previous peak was 21.6% in 1920). And if their childr

ASML has a large factory in Wilton. & Zeiss is further away from missiles. So they're less concerned about that.

Well, they're killing the animals before feeding them to the lions etc. So it won't have much of a hunting experience. But perhaps a scavenging experience is enough for them.

Note that it says they are gently euthanized first. Otherwise I don't think there is a single horse-owner who would go through that. We have all seen what cats do with their living food.

IBM has kept researching in Albany. They license manufacturing technology to other parties even if they gave up trying to build their own fabrication facilities a decade ago.

And I don't dispute that. Simply that Ferrari is the Ford of super cars, building in large quantity for that market. And I really doubt the applicability of the luxury approach to software. People will vastly overpay to have a 5% fas

AMD is making money on x86 servers. Is anyone making money doing commodity (i.e. not captive) ARM / R5 server chips for sale? Ampere is losing money and hoping for acquisition.

It's international but I wonder how many people know that about third of ASML scanners and steppers are made in Connecticut. And all their light sources are made by ex-Cymer in San Diego.

Identification verification doesn't solve that either. His friend could still hand him his phone after logging in and verifying, right? Unless they're doing facial scans the entire time the user is reading adult content. It seems

I'm genuinely curious. The parent buys the phone/laptop. And when little Timmy logs in to his phone the account should be in a family/group as a child account. What's with the obsession with actually verifying identity?

I didn't, as far as I'm aware. They are indeed beholden to their shareholders and I said nothing of value. Investors desire shares of profitable companies with consistent growth. As an AWS customer, you are the consistent growth.

They seem to be close? The RX 9070 is the 2nd most efficient graphics card this generation according to TechPowerUp and they also do well when limited to 60Hz, implying their joules per frame isn't bad either. Efficiency: https:/

I heard the opposite. The next is gfx13 and that it is more like RDNA with more bolted on. Which makes sense given the version numbers. MI350 is still gfx943 or gfx950. RX 9070 XT is gfx1201.

The EUV light sources are all made in San Diego. Currently, there is no single country that can make an 3600D or equivalent machine. Which shouldn't be surprising given the complexity.

What ARM core is available for AMD to use that is better than what AMD has been shipping in Turin? Adapting Zen to a simpler-to-decode architecture would cost more than licensing a core from ARM. The Zen 5 front-end is adapted for working a

Cymer was the best purchase they ever made. But it also means they're totally beholden to US export controls. That light source is made in San Diego after all.

Skymont is an improvement but... Skymont area efficiency should be compared to Zen 5C on 3nm. It has higher IPC, SMT with dual decoders - one for each thread, and full rate AVX-512 execution. AMD didn't have major difficulties in scali

The stock value didn't drop because of CUDA but because most stocks and tech stocks dropped in 2008. AMD was also down 80%, Intel down 40%.
