Isn't remote a disadvantage in that case as the pool is larger? If I'm the employer I don't need to hire everyone. I just need to hire a small subset of people, relative to the overall population in the pool who meets the qua

Not completely in the wilderness sure. But they also have many operating systems to consider. The other obvious ones are Linux, BSD, and, until very recently, macOS. Are you sure it's possible to do a micro-optimization for one with

Not exactly the same, but close. https://github.com/eniac/faas The purpose of the FaaS (Factoring as a Service) project is to demonstrate that 512-bit integers can be factored in only a few hours, for less than $100 of

Amazing how times have changed. Took just over 15s inside Mathematica on an old Intel MacBook Air with dozens of other apps running. Didn't even spin the fans up. In[*]:= Timing@FactorInteger[RandomInteger[{10^70,10^71}]] Out[*

It seems off because the jobs just a byproduct of the investment, not the end goal. i.e. Say I invest $10M to make a precision machine shop and I employing 5 machinists, as a crude example. Here my goal was to make a machine shop capable o

One should never loose to the complier, after all you can see it's output and it can't see yours. Also, the programmer can "cheat" by doing things the compiler would consider invalid but are known to be ok given the larg

HW vendors that want to race to the bottom, sure. But if I want to differentiate, commanding a higher price, then I'll probably be different.

I saw that too and I wondered how they accomplished that. Can a commercial grade line be tweaked produce more automotive grade parts? Or were they forced to take down entire lines and retool them? If so, that would definitely have... repe

That's the general consensus I see too. i.e. https://www.electronicdesign.com/markets/automotive/media-ga... The other issue is the "car industry" doesn't order from fab. They order from a su

My guess is anything that produces an ordered sequence of numbers that need to be dealt with. For example a network card or any character based IO device. Just a couple of examples of the top of my head.

The architecture looks fairly different than Transmeta's architecture to me although the purported multiple ISA user feature is similar. They presented some high level stuff at ISC 2020. https://www.tachyum.com/assets&#
