That's how Amiga OCS/ECS color palette works as well, 4 bits per primary. For whatever reason my brain considers it important enough I still remember $dff180 is the first color palette entry address. :-)

Looks bad for Intel in the datacenter. I hope both Intel and AMD can stay in business long term, or at least until there are other serious contenders.

Of course it is. The question is, how does that justify excessive subjectivity and misleading exposure on completely unrelated issues?

You better watch out. There are over 1000 recalls in 2021 affecting 35M vehicles according to NHTSA. For some reason recalls are mostly only news when they're about Tesla. I guess it generates clicks? https://www.nhtsa.gov&#

The article you linked says credits are "over 20%" of overall profit. Carbon Credits matter less and less for Tesla. In Q3 2022, CCs were $286M, revenue $21.5B, GAAP net income $3.3B. So CCs were only 8.7% of the profits and 1.3%

If it is confirmed that energy production relieves Yellowstone Caldera pressure, should we build geothermal energy plants there? For the greater good, despite conservation efforts.

Lucky you. Issues like one device got a slightly different baud rate, enough to make it either not work at all or having a lot of transmission errors? I have, and I'm sure a lot of other people have their own horror stories. Having a c

Your drag area figure for Tesla Semi is absurdly high. Note that drag area is cross-sectional area times drag coefficient. If your numbers are otherwise correct, Semi's "drag area" should be 0.36 * 7.3 m^2 = 2.62800 m^2. 2.

Nothing prevents compilers from compiling in multiple paths for anything performance critical. That's how it's already being done on x86. If AVX-512 is available, use it. If not, maybe fall back to AVX-2. Else fall back to SSE2. E
