12ft.io and vercel have servers in US, so what's your argument here?

Kim Dotcom believed so too, didn't fare too well.

More like the DRM folks demand this, or the platform will be no longer "HDCP compliant".

for compute only (restricted to openCL), not graphics workloads.

AMD's APUs or the Windows Display Driver Model did not support USM until very recently. They would explicitly carve out memory at boot for graphics use and physical pages could not be shared between GPU and CPU. They'd still make

I hated the wellnomics software at Intel, but it was annoying enough for me to just disable it instead of tinkering with settings to make it bearable.

Yeah, because fed is stupid about inflation. That'll just mean higher rates for longer.

Spinlaunch would disgree but here the trouble is getting off the ground; Take-off is the most demanding phase of flight in terms of propulsion demand.

Really seems the other way though

The kernel team doesn't use either version, they use release monikers internally (ie. Threshold, RS1-RS5, 19h1-22h2, Sun Valley 1, SV2 etc.) But also, internal interfaces and external interfaces are rev'd so teams tend to talk abo

> Many (most? citation needed) current, mainstream CPUs use the same bit width for all three (address, data, register). This is quite wrong, for most x86_64 processors: Address bus is 42-48 bits Data bus is 32-128 bits Registers are 64 b

> Theoretically: why not? Kernel is not something drastically different from userspace. Sure, some rules are different, but I don't think that it's completely impossible to adapt Rosetta to the kernel. It's not impossible

That's only for userspace apps. In fact even on Mac, only userspace code can be handled by rosetta2. For most applications this isn't a problem but a lot of games these days come with kernel components for anti-cheat.

Take it with OP, I'm just pointing out what he meant. Regardless - I do agree that the debt and deficit situation is getting a little out of hand. We're running deficits in late cycle which is quite dangerous. Also your [1] link i

Well I guess they learned from Microsoft's mistakes and are lowering their exposure while their Mac install base is still low enough? It is getting ridiculous that I have to run multiple VMs for accessing old programs and data; but the

Anduril I guess? but they're exclusively focusing on the military applications. What about zipline? There's also some other startups focusing more on use of drones rather than building drones from ground-up.

Are you sure it isn't based on number of instructions retired by the CPU? or the number of pixels rendered by the game?

Sure, but push/pop are not the only ways to access stack. Moreover, I'm still wondering what you mean by this: > Yeah I’m also amused that they didn’t get into the fact that downward bump is just not what the HW expects you to
145.
by zeusk 3y ago
And? > fact that downward bump is just not what the HW expects you to do. What fact is this? and what does it have to do with stack being bounded? (bounds of stack are unknown to most micro architectural state and only stored in OS struc
146.
by zeusk 3y ago
Your stack is entirely data, why do you think a CPU couldn't predict access patterns on stack? Prefetchers can predict negative offset/decrements since 1980s
147.
by zeusk 3y ago
> fact that downward bump is just not what the HW expects you to do. Where do you get this fact from? ARM and x86 have a descending stack (<= ARMv7 supported stack growing in either direction).

Microsoft has sort-of used heat dissipating lids but that's because the lid itself contains the CPU (surface book, surface pro).

Windows 11 now enables VBS by default; so all modern PCs are running a hypervisor as well.
