So how do you know its overpriced, did you measure its performance in ray-tracing and AI in particular?
Or are you a gamer and your meta-post is...

[discordian]

Cost & performance.
HBM2 needs to sit on top of the GPU, the amount of chips you can place there is rather limited. GDDR6 (on a similar bus)...

[discordian]

Yes, as does MMC (albeit at a lesser rate typically). The point is that that's something I would never transfer into the kernel or filesystem like it...

[discordian]

Well, you are wrong about that, they are preferred over SSDs in industry. first as I said - even if you only read then neighboring cells will be affected...

[discordian]

We agree then
In speed - certainly. The controller will still have to scrap together Nand pages that only have a few bytes changed, with enough...

[discordian]

I don't see why not having extensive RAM and controllers to accommodate for unfit filesystems is a valid critism of eMMC.

At the end of the...

[discordian]

Yeah, I don't think NUMA can properly deal with that (for now atleast), it usually has to correlate memory areas to CPUs. Here you have 2 x 8 Cores with...

[discordian]

Theres the issue: i would like to add coreboot to my board, but it would mean dissasembling my main pc, so you can fix a broken bios that certainly will...

[discordian]

It can, if the linking stage can rewrite code, its a form of pretty light LTO. Or you could take LLVMs approach which uses (close-to-assembly) byte-code...

[discordian]

Thats again explicit in code, and AFAIK wont inter-operate with symbol versioning. ELF relocation can further be listed by tools and are ready-to-run...

[discordian]

Yeah, that has other drawbacks, as now every function call is now explicitly using this struct, if you want back/forwards compatibility then things get...

[discordian]

and as always, that means docs & release notes for the next version (7.0.0) are not available on the homepage anymore, everything is nextnext (8.0.0)...

[discordian]

Agreed, bit I dont find pragmas to be the ideal solution - its akward to use conditional directives for compilation (import/export or static library)...

[discordian]

Yeah "looked like a good idea" to someone, very concise, logical and clear. Sorry, but that problems had been known for a long time, you need...

[discordian]

Yeah this drove me nuts for a while until I found the reason. I had a even worse issue enabling the "Places" extension, plug in an USB and crash...

[discordian]

Doesn't work so fine if you want to build static and public variants of the lib. Then you need macros and ifbutting. And if you place that pragma before...

[discordian]

I would not call this (symbol interposing) a crappy design, but it should never have been the default.
If you ever wanted to trace library calls,...

[discordian]

shared libraries that are otherwise unused could still run some initialization (like modifying state of the running threads),
or a shared library...
