Interestingly, I've also seen a lot of EVE friends that have gotten jobs because of their EVE connections (logistics, computer security, state dept, ...)

For a daily use straight razor, about once a season or twice a year. Remember that you keep a razor sharp by using the pasted strop and having a good maintenance routine. After a while the cutting edge becomes more convex, which is where th

For honing I swear by the Coticule stone[1], you only need the one stone as you can vary the grit. Tip: the non-rectangular stones are just as good and a fraction of the price. Also guilty: I did start growing a beard after dropping my fav

Intel 4 is Intel. The Intel Alchemist GPU dies are fabbed by TSMC and Intel has clearly labeled those as being TSMC N6.

Not competition as much as complementary or even necessity. Institutional funding funds enables people to have a career in research. A career that allows them to build up the necessary expertise in order to have a stab at the research prize

Fundamentally they are the same SMT concept though: multiple hardware threads that have separate register (and other) state but share an execution unit. HT as an implementation tries to give long sequential execution windows to a hardware t

Truffle/Graal sounded almost like magic when we first looked at it. Its partial evaluation was one of the best efforts we've seen for speeding up R, which is notoriously averse to being compiled. ( https://www.graalvm.or

The Tilera [1] processors were a recent embodiment of the Transputer. (comedy option: the TIS-100 [2]) Modern GPU architectures are very much their own thing. They have more in common with Vector machines in how the ALUs are organized, but

By those criteria, the Benelux region would be more suited (two large cargo ports, dense road/rail/canal network, top universities in the field; plus: proximity to ASML and imec)

Yes, with the top-3 EU members being Germany, France and Italy; which are getting parts of the pie. I'm not counting the Poland and Ireland mentions. Those already have Intel sites and at least in the case of Gdansk those expansions ar

Yes, green tea needs lower temperature and controlled infusion time, but rewards that. The author definitely does not seem to be a fan and is not doing it justice.

Looks like the pie is being spread by order of EU member GDP: Germany gets 17B for a new fab, France an R&D center, Italy a 4B manufacturing center.

It also evades the many rules and protections that were put in for a good reason, which makes the crypto space rife with scams and other abuses.

Cool! I used CL for the same purposes in my PhD almost a decade ago. Interesting to see that others independently have been gravitating towards CL. I had a top-level pattern language with a dataflow-like visual representation, using the Li

Did they publish the study under their own name, being up front about their conflict of interest, or did they pay someone else for the study (and desired outcome)?

Not the same. They are not giving advice or recommendations, they are reporting the results of a study. That's the beauty of a good scientific study: you do not have to trust the author. In fact don't, the more people try to find
