There's a shortage of photos that have a 50 year history in the field. By using this image you can compare directly to the 1973/4 paper. Using some other stock photo won't let you do that. This is ignoring that the photo itse

Just shows that he didn’t have much knowledge of other platforms or didn’t have much vision about where his project would go. Fact is if you squint enough every modern system looks like a VAX. The same abstractions fit nearly every architec

IT people are terrible communicators if they have to speak to someone outside their domain. I’ve seen plenty of miscommunications because people don’t try to grasp whether the other person gets what they’re saying. You can have network, sto

I, personally, wonder about how much of stuff we're seeing throughout society is due to COVID policy. How many people found themselves flush with money due to things like student loan payment suspension, tax credits, and etc. who went

In a normal year the target rate of inflation is 2%. Over ten years that will raise prices by more than 20% since it compounds.

It's highly likely that a workload that is suitable to run on hundreds of disparate computers with thousands of CPU cores is going to be equally well suited for running on tens of thousands of GPU compute threads.

Because no one is going to give you five hundred million dollars unless you dress up all your work with words that imply way more than is actually there. The language used in AI fields confuses the non-experts, reporters, bloggers, investor

On one hand this project just uses an Apple II as a front end for something running on a raspberry pi. On the other hand, the 80386 and 68000 are both '80s era CPUs. The 80486 just barely squeezed in in 1989, with the first systems ava

What a strange definition of rejected. Keeping 97% of the patch and changing 3% of the patch isn't what anyone would considered rejection.

No part of that document details out that if you fail to follow their exact ritual then they get to steal your code and include it as their own. In comments all over this thread you go on about OP not following the proper ritual to appease

We don't have to discuss what might happen. We have a specific instance of something happening. In this case someone submitted a patch, the patch with a 1 line change ended up in the kernel. There is no need to talk about maybes, conte

IF the code someone writes deserves to be included in a project, they deserve to have their name attributed to that code. You acting like there is some threshold of code to submit before someone's authorship is recognized is weird.

You're making some poor comparisons to justify how things were done in this instance. What actually happened here is someone encountered a bug, they diagnosed the bug, they fixed the bug, they brought the bug up on a mailing list, they

It's more of a problem of the number of nodes your users will be accessing than the number of users. It's a PITA to make mechanisms for password changes, for adding and removing users, for unlocking accounts, etc. when you have a

Unlikely. AI projects are tied to Nvidia not to Linux. They just port their driver to FreeBSD or Solaris or whatever. The AI crowd will follow. But they can also just release drivers that as part of the driver install patches the end user&#

Yet another example of someone security "testing" someone else's servers/systems without permission. That's called hacking. Doesn't matter if you have "good faith" or not. It's not your property

I suspect that RH is not complying with the GPLv2. I can use yum to install a package from RH’s repo and it does not result in me having the source, so 3a is out. They don’t offer to distribute source code at cost to any third party, so no
