Obviously there's no point in trying to entirely prevent people from DIYing dangerous devices, medical or otherwise. But that's not what's at issue here. The problem here is the absolutely stupid idea of using a desire for da

The point is to have an avenue for recourse/accountability when the developer is not behaving.

Turning your iPhone into an unregulated DIY medical device really does not seem like the kind of use case that any serious business would be swayed by. What you're asking for would be pretty terrifying for the lawyers. You shouldn&#x

Even using `uv add`, you don't have to limit yourself to declaring exact versions when your intention is to allow newer versions.

Can you elaborate on the reasons why a package would need to declare that its dependencies must be installed from source rather than from pre-built binaries? I'm having trouble imagining a scenario where that capability would be used a

Nitpick: the "Platinum" color in question was part of the "Snow White" design language introduced in 1984 (and originally using a different color before switching to Platinum) so this is the wrong filament for emulatin

Yes, we know that floppy disks and drives will wear out, and they have few if any sources for new repair parts. So the fact that the system is still more or less working today doesn't mean it isn't doomed and needs to be replace

The drive in question is a low-end consumer part using QLC NAND and a DRAMless controller. It's hard to conclude much about the scalability of an operating system's IO stack when using a single drive that has such limited performa

You're completely ignoring that there are several distinct market segments that want hardware to do AI/ML. Matrix multiplication is not something you can implement in hardware just once. NVIDIA's biggest weakness right now

That doesn't really change anything. The use cases for a GPU in any given market segment don't change depending on whether you call it a GPU. And for low-power consumer devices like laptops, "matrix multiplication coprocess

The ability for an app to keep running without a window was a godsend back in the days when we were all running on hard drives and large apps had splash screens to amuse you during their multi-second launch process. If you were done with a

Yes, only the 32-bit target, and only the gnu toolchain. Compiling on Windows using the Microsoft toolchain to target 32-bit Windows will still be on the Tier 1 list: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/platform-support.htm

Memory usage can vary, but video codecs are designed to make it practical to derive bounds on those memory requirements because hardware implementations don't have the freedom to dynamically allocate more silicon.

Is anyone using EUV for SSDs? I don't think it's economical for NAND manufacturing. I'm not sure if SSD controllers are using EUV yet; they usually aren't on leading-edge process nodes.

The craziest thing about Intel's AVX-512 story is that from 2015 through 2020 they were shipping consumer CPUs with die space reserved for the AVX-512 register file, but no actual AVX-512 capability. Then they shipped one short-liv

AVX-10 was mostly just a way for Intel to provide an excuse for why they're still a few years out from having AVX-512 in their E cores: they're targeting a standard that's not here yet. But the excuse doesn't really work

If it's pure TFLOPs you're after, you do want a more or less statically scheduled GPU. But for CPU workloads, even the low-power efficiency cores in phones these days are out of order, and the size of reorder buffers in high-perfo

This issue is less about Intel's fab failures and more about their inability to decouple their architecture update cadence from their fab progress. They stopped iterating on their CPU designs while waiting for 10nm to get fixed. That l
