90%+? It might make more sense to support the 90%+ case than the rest. I wonder if at some point this is going to hurt Oracle through lack of Oracle Java support for Open Source libraries and even ISV software. Certainly it feels a bit risk

680[01]0 had only 23 address lines (A1-A23), 16-bit word size, thus 16 MB addressable memory. There’s also LDS (lower data select) and UDS pins for 8-bit I/O chips.

I haven't seen any Windows/Linux laptops with a good trackpad. Apple seems to be unbeatable in this regard.

Zero ROI? Isn’t SpaceX the largest launch provider in the world and for the U.S. government? Many times than the rest of the U.S. space industry combined.

Most likely they don’t, but safety margins for experimental rockets need to be large.

Not sure whether I'd like to send potentially sensitive documents to a lesser known provider. Or even to a well known.

I think those GPUs cost between $25-40k each.

Sounds pretty useful. What are the system requirements? Prerequisites Hardware GPU Family Memory # of GPUs (min.) H100 SXM or PCIe 80GB 2 A100 SXM or PCIe 80GB 2 Hmm, perhaps this is not for me.

Agreed, it looks pretty nice. I remember admiring it in a computer store. ST is also a bit faster. Although I take my blitter, copper, hardware display overscan and flexible per scanline resolution & color depth, sprites and 4 channel P

If freight trains are so good, why do we use trucks? Freight trains carry a lot, but are really bad at branching. Same with GPUs.

32-bit ARM-based systems supported up to 1 TB of RAM. 32-bit x86 only up to 64 GB. Unless you want to map more than 4 GB in a single process, you could very well stay 32-bit. But AArch64 (or ARM64) and AMD64 did bring a lot more on the tabl

Scratch all that. The main issue in 2004 preventing hardcore mode would have been server stability, or the lack of it.

I should have remembered to mention "in addition to all the other gold currently owned by other parties."

Say USA had 375k metric tons of gold and wants to use it for paying the debt. This would just crash the gold price and the debt would be nowhere near serviced.

So many different cores. Dual M33s, VPR, consisting of PPR (a low power 16 MHz RISC-V RV32E? for external I/O) and FLPR (a RISC-V RV32E running at 320 MHz, for software defined peripherals). I wonder what the max square wave GPIO toggl

> The era of 4-digit Mac names was such a mess... Same goes for a lot of other products. For example CPUs, GPUs, TVs and fridges. Sometimes appliance names are nearly impenetrable.

8086, 80286, 680[01]0 all had a 16-bit word size and could only access RAM at 16-bit granularity (I/O is a different story). Of course they had the ability to extract just a byte as well. 68000 generates a bus error if you try unaligne
