According to Agner Fog's manuals, the physical register file of a Zen 2 FPU contains 168 vector registers of 256 bits each. In total the vector registers hold 5 kB, so much less than the 32 kB L1 data cache, which isn't that large

This is good news. However, the repo doesn't seem to contain any ARM code for the platform security processor (PSP), so I suppose that part would remain an encrypted binary blob?

If the point is to limit the scope of specific variables, wouldn't it be simpler to write void foo() { { auto [a, b, c] = std::make_tuple(x, y, z); /* [...] */ } }

Is Conda actually moving towards making mamba the default? Last I heard, they were distinctly uninterested in that, since mamba is implemented in C++, and they would rather rely on their own slow Python code, which they can more easily modi

That would work only as long as the route does not change over time, and does not depend on which direction the packet is going. They probably did not want to make that assumption in the protocol, even if it turned out to hold most of the t

Sorry to hear that. Indeed it seems none of the current Dell Latitudes or other professional models have a pointing stick any more. It looks like HP has also dropped the pointing stick from its latest professional laptops. Interesting how t

Is there precedent on model weights being copyrightable in the first place? I suppose the recipients of the DMCA notices are unlikely to be willing to contest it in court, though.

At least for rust applications of your own, you can use the library https://github.com/dirs-dev/directories-rs to follow XDG on Linux as well as platform conventions on Mac and Windows.

You allocate either on the stack, or on the heap with make_unique and make_shared. Deletion occurs automatically once the object is out of scope.

Instead of git add --patch, there could be a --patch option to git commit. You can already edit the latest commit with git commit --amend, so you'd have to do git commit -p to get the commit started, and then continue with git commit -

You don't need any complex algorithms such as SAT solvers for makefiles, because make does not need to choose from alternative ways to build an out-of-date makefile dependency. Either the dependency file already has a date newer than a

The largest number of high-performance ARM cores you can get in a single socket is the Ampere Altra Max with 128 ARM Neoverse-N1 cores. At 2.6 GHz the processor consumes 190 W, and at 3.0 GHz up to 250 W. This is a server chip, not somethin
