I agree. It appears that Google is trying to pat it's own back in a room full of people who have never seen a modern place of production.

I would argue that it is better because it gives you the ability to tier your hardware higher. Low end SKUs like mobile hardware can get less physical components and more abstraction while higher end SKUs like server hardware can have more

Why doesn't anyone ever bother to mention that the M1 is a RISC CPU when discussing that it can do more IPS than x86? There are 1024 possible Armv8 instructions [1] as opposed to 1,503 x86 instructions [2] and 3,684 x86-64 instructions

He doesn't want a whole new chip. The M1 was hailed as an entry level chip, and merely the start of greater things to come. If that were true, logic would hold that they would have a higher end version of the existing M1 chip available

It seems more like a parser than a compiler. It doesn't write a binary, it just translates brainfuck to C source code. In the OPs defense, they did say "by abusing everything."

I can't believe we're just glossing over the fact that everyone who has been compromised probably has an intruder still sitting on their LAN, or at least a big hole in their network somewhere. The request came from somewhere, and

I understand the sentiment, but the reality of the situation is if your WD device is hacked while on your home LAN network, you have a much bigger security problem than where your data isn't .

Because security mitigations contained in micro code updates regularly impact performance. I mean, no offense, but that is literally the focus of this article and this discussion.

Let's look at this scientifically. Being successful takes 100 units of energy. If one monkey starts with 0 units of energy and another monkey starts with 90 units of energy, how many units must each monkey spend to become "success

Then offer them training and experience. Give your best worker a fancy title in lieu of a raise to pad their resume. Enabling someone to grow doesn't mean you get to keep them forever. Unless, of course, you truly are giving people job

It isn't the thought of not being lucky that makes this sting. It is the connotation among the wealthy that people in poverty aren't working hard enough. It creates an environment where the job creators create jobs with nowhere to

How would we know if Intel started disabling features that they explicitly marketed? I believe removing or reducing the functionality of a product that was sold under the pretense of a certain level of performance would warrant class action

Also, the chip obviously doesn't need to wear out to become less preformant over time. Reliability is perhaps the wrong word, I think quality would suit better. But in any case, if you have one chip that decreases in performance 10% pe

Because Wintel has always displayed bad sportsmanship and anti competitive practices. I don't want a winner who wins because they cheat. Also, AMD almost lost everything. At one point they had to sell their own HQ and lease it back to

You know, just 10 short years ago whenever someone had a problem with an AMD chip, the overwhelming response from the tech community was "dude, just get an Intel. They are way better." So pardon me, but from a lifelong AMD enthusi

This technology was used as early as WW1 on diesel-electric submarines. The primary electric drive motors could be driven by the diesel engines to recharge the batteries while on the surface.

We have space based astronomy (Chandra, Hubble, ect...). There are more missions with expanded capabilities on the horizon. However they do not negate the value of a ground based system. You wouldn't use a hammer to drive in a screw in

Let's see if I got this right... 1) SpaceX was unhappy with a regulation they are legally forced to comply with. 2) SpaceX blames the regulating authority for costing SpaceX time and money. 3) SpaceX offers to "help improve"

I believe there is a point at which we will be emulating silicon so fast that we will be able to realize true Single Instruction Set computing. Such a machine would be nowhere near as efficient as a CISC computer in terms of work per clock

Apple would have no problem bricking a fake iPhone that ran a cracked ios. They regularly try to lock in hardware components with software and firmware. And in the case of a counterfeit low level component then they should. If China wants t

by zelon88 5y ago
Probably an unpopular opinion, but if you have a bricked device with counterfeit components you should go to the manufacturer of the device and demand they make you whole. Also call into question their quality control mechanisms and supply
