”A Miyake event occurring in modern conditions might have significant impacts on global technological infrastructure such as satellites, telecommunications, and power grids.” No word about small disconnected devices. I’m guessing they’re go

Probably they want to have all and any compute they can have. This doesn't exclude Dojo nor the previous generation nvidia chips they already got.

"... All transformers are blown. ..." Sure, that's possible. Long powerlines are affected. "... All electronics are fried." What? All? How could that happen due to solar activity? My guess is that even the worst eve

Great to have some open source competition to FreeRTOS.

No.

Perhaps its only purpose is to keep adversaries guessing?

How does it compare to Boeing, Lockheed, etc.?

I'd say gains from M2 Max to M3 Max are pretty reasonable. Of course same might not apply to M2 Pro to M3 Pro.

Mac OS and Atari ST had both Motorola 680x0 CPUs. So both had a flat address space.

AmigaOS was pretty competitive for the time in 1985. Like you mentioned, pre-emptive multitasking, but also nice intertask (=process) communication, layers & windowing library, a good graphics library, a good set of GUI gadgets (=widget

Probably tooling and developer mindshare. Might not have much to do with git vs Mercurial technical merits.

Agreed. Only way it could be left unclear is if the storage medium was damaged and the relevant bits were corrupted.

Perhaps a result of overcharging lithium cells? That's known to cause metallic lithium plating, definitely not a normal or a desired state in a Li-ion cell.

My understanding is that lithium ion batteries don’t use metallic lithium, but salts, like lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide. Are sodium ion batteries somehow different? If so, how can they keep metallic sodium stable at all?
735.
by vardump 3y ago
A really bold claim, any sources? Please remember there are a lot of different sodium-ion chemistries.

Sorry, you're right! I'd delete grandparent, but can no longer do so.

I don't hold any sympathies for Meta/Facebook, but seriously: former disgruntled employees are always going to exaggerate negative aspects about their former employer, no matter what company we're talking about. Maybe it&#x27

Sigh. I wish you were wrong.

Unless it’s an integer multiple. Shrug.

My M1 and M2 Macbooks will happily charge to 100%. How to make them to stop at 80%?
742.
by vardump 3y ago
Not all charge cycles are equivalent. By limiting charge to just 80%, your battery will last many times longer versus to letting it charge up to 100%. That's also the reason why EV manufacturers set charge limits to similar numbers.

That'll wear out the battery quickly.

I have a 16" 32 GB Macbook M2 and I generally feel 32 GB is too little for development tasks. M2 chip itself is very, very fast and requires little power (and thus is cool), so I don't think performance or cooling will be an issue

How small the features need to be until electromigration destroys the devices in a matter of days/weeks/months? Although I guess "3 nm" is nowhere near that small in reality.

Other than using copper to change palette entries at desired scanlines, Amiga 500 can display 64 colors in EHB (Extra Half Brite) mode with 6 bitplanes. Since there are only 32 palette entries, the upper 32 colors are otherwise same, but ha

~8-10 fps is about what this game gets on an Amiga 500 without true Fast RAM. Early 1990s me would have been more than happy with that.
