Maybe I'm missing something, but the prices look bad for what is offered. Why would you use them over say a managed server, for example from Hetzner [0] or Netcup [1]? [0] https://www.hetzner.com/managed-server [1] ht

Yeah, I thought so too since Nvidia owns Mellanox and Intel having their own NICs, OmniPath etc.

Could also be a bit of both. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's mainly Samsung giving Nvidia a great deal. For years it's all over town that Samsung seems to have the best wafer prices in the industry.

Yes, 1 or 2 years ago I saw a short piece about recycling plastics and what really is getting recycled in the end. Many products which would be easy to recycle didn't get recycled because they had fancy labels on them which made it har

Maybe you can rent a sod remover machine? I've seen those rented out for ~40 USD per day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8Qd33NhflQ With those machines it's more comfortable then the spade method [0], especially

Yeah, especially if battery life is important as it will feature LPDDR4X-4266 support (0.6v instead of 1.2 and low power modes).

I think much of that will flow into their GPU department. They have the node advantage compared to Nvidia (TSMC 7nm vs. TSMC 12nm) but can only match Nvidia in power consumption and performance. Once Nvidia get's to 7nm with their new

You can use a steno mask so your voice doesn't disturbs others but also so that the voices from coworkers and other background noise doesn't disturb the speech-to-text software. It would look funky though, and I've read from

Maybe better and more time consuming optimizations? 2 mio LOC vs. 26 mio LOC probably doesn't help either. Maybe there is some bottleneck somehwere in the software or hardware?

Back when Ultima 9 was released around 2000 my PC had 128 MB of RAM. Now Threadripper has the same amount of L3 cache in total (Epyc twice as much).

Yeah, and finally with LPDDR4x support which should, in addition to 7nm and the improvements Zen 2 has, further help increase battery life. Not to mention that the better bandwidth (if they use a 128 bit interface like the MacBooks) should

As a layman I would describe them as implicits like in current Scala [0] but better (easier to reason about). One thing which they allow is ad-hoc polymorphism like typeclasses. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.01895.pdf ht

> [...] Metal is one year older than Vulkan [...] Is it really though? Vulkan is based on AMD Mantle which AMD gave to Khronos. AMD Mantle (2013) predates Apple Metal (2014).

Interesting, this seems more flexible then the solution AMD previously used in their Radeon Pro SSG [0], in which they connected a 2TB NVMe SSD RAID directly to the GPU by placing it on the GPU PCB (which the application sees as 2 TB GPU me

Since 2 lanes of PCIe4 are as fast as 4 lanes of PCIe3 I think it can make sense for more IO if you don't want to go for Threadripper. On top of that the motherboards I have read about thus far have better VRM setups for the CPU so for

Both the PS5 and Scarlett sound like a console implementation of AMDs Radeon Pro SSG. The Radeon Pro SSG has a PCIe3 x8 NVME SSD on the GPU PCB directly connected to the GPU and managed by HBCC which uses the 16 GB HBM2 memory as a first le
