In case anyone is interested, V8 pre-ignition/TurboFan had different tiers [1]: full-codegen (dumb and fast) and crankshaft (optimizing). It's interesting to see how these things change over time. [1]: https://v8.dev&#x

You mean the rockets that are intercepted? Which civilians have been hit, compared to the tens of thousands in Gaza in a few weeks? Those interceptor rockets cost Israel (and the US) much more than it costs Hamas to manufacture. That's

Israel has been begging for the US to get more involved. Like how they are provoking Hezbollah with their "double-tap" strikes.

If the purpose of keeping emissions low is humanitarian, then there is a much bigger humanitarian concern at the center of all this.

I don't think this applies to any of the incidents mentioned in the article.

Density is one of the main ways to get cost savings. But there are others too, and there's also a lot of hype around them. Chiplets for example. Or CXL for memory.

Yes, but no customer wants to give Nvidia monopoly money forever either. So like it or not they need alternatives.

These stats can be misleading for other reasons as well. The US and EU have a lot of existing infrastructure, construction of which required enormous amounts of CO2 emissions. Countries that are still building out their infrastructure shoul

Yes, the main difference would be that distributed systems have more failure modes to be concerned with and that dictates a lot.

Just a minor point: while tsan is extremely helpful, it is not guaranteed to catch all data races.

The Palestinians are not intermittently but continuously oppressed. Israel can stop it at any time but chooses not to, hence the retaliation by the Palestinians. What Israel is doing now is not retaliation but doubling down on their standar

You can implement the interface from other packages through embedding type ColorWrapper struct { color.Color ... } ColorWrapper will implement color.Color. I don't know what the point would be, but another

I believe 1.87 MB was in the context of CPU processing time, not network.

Catching up in this space requires a significant, sustained investment over multiple years and competent software engineers. It's not a simple thing for a hardware company to suddenly become competitive with Nvidia in AI/ML. Inste

The faster-cpython folks seem to be working towards a JIT ( https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/tree/main/3.13 ) and both pyston and cinder have JITs. So I don't think anyone has ruled one out.

What did they discontinue? https://v8.dev/blog/speeding-up-v8-heap-snapshots was posted less than a month ago.

C++ unfortunately does textual inclusion for header files. So "-std=" does not automatically work for those. You need to sprinkle in #ifdefs rather than getting automatic forward compatibility.

I hadn't thought of this, but this is an excellent point. Oracle vs IBM, who wins? The lawyers for sure, but for outsiders there would be no downside.

It's also about reuse and fungibility. AMD has used the same IO die across multiple generations of Zen hardware. This cuts the dev and validation costs for using new processes. Fungibility helps reduce the cost of making SKUs. Want mor

I don't agree and my job requires that I program in C++. It's different, yes, but it's only strange if you learn about C or C++ first. Whether you agree or not, I definitely think that promoting loop variables to be heap allo

In Go, you can take the address of a local variable and return it. It will be allocated on the heap automatically. This is weird for C++ programmers that think about the stack vs heap, but perfectly natural for Go. In Go, stack allocation f

It would be a bit odd to build capacity for spot instances. The whole point of low priority, preemptable instances is to fill up the capacity that you have available, but have earmarked for scheduling big jobs or handling failures (say a po

Intel is still making plenty of server CPUs (and other components).

Samsung and Intel exist and can serve TSMC clients for bleeding edge nodes. More fabs exist at older nodes. So if something happens to TSMC, there are options. Though it would require significant work to move. And the alternatives may not p

A lot of software might not need to be implemented in C... but it is. Not just one piece either, but there's ecosystem effects at play too. Rust interops much better with C than most languages, including Java, and offers a smoother tra

It sounds like the energy capacity and power output can be scaled independently of one another. But as this article is meant for a wide audience, I think they simplified the discussion by making some assumptions about the desired power outp

At 10% it's approximately the same. But say 50% instead. If it takes 1/2 the time to do something, you can do double the work in that time. If on the other hand, you can do 1.5x the work in the same time, it means you've made

Unless it says otherwise, it's generally safe to assume that an article put out of a university is in the early research phase.

This works when your serialization format is designed to be either big or little endian. But for some programs, the serialization format is memcpy the structure to disk. This isn't a good strategy, but unfortunately it can be difficult
