I don't believe people should be defined by the worst thing they write. Sometimes, people can mishandle a situation and it escalates into something shameful...

How long is your warranty? I'd not hesitate to run it as hard as you need, in hopes that it'll die in time to get a free replacement. I wouldn't do...

Excellent satire.

I push against a decent share of mediocrity, in my professional life. Yet, you may lump me together with them, if you don't...

This is what I'm talking about, with the whole victim complex.

If you go back to the first post in the thread, there are different ways one...

[coder]

I don't disagree with that statement, but that doesn't really speak to my point. I was just trying to illustrate what low precision this format has....

[coder]

What happened to this?

What good do you think your posts are doing? You're not going to change minds by insulting them, or playing the victim...

IMO, the decisions underlying the design of a framework has a lot to do with the intended usage. For instance, I would expect a framework used by mobile...

[coder]

Fair enough, I thought it was made by Glo Fo, but I see it was TSMC. Anyway, I already stated the transistor counts.


Wrong.

Perhaps you could even find an i3 or Pentium/Celeron Gold on ebay.

Do note that the LGA 1151 motherboards either support Sky/Kaby Lake or...

[coder]

Uh, all Xeons support ECC. Plenty of i3's with graphics, too. You just need to add the filter for FCLGA1151:

Thanks!...

As I said, I think the half-floats specified in IEEE 754 are more generally useful. That's what GPUs have used, to date.

To wit:

[coder]

Because they both make GPUs, which are kinda that.

Specialized hardware blocks make more sense in cell phone SoCs because power-efficiency...

*sigh* you could've defined or linked to DNF. Not being a Fedora user, I had no clue what it was and had to wonder whether it's something I should know....

[coder]

Speaking of which, I think I heard that much of Silicon Valley is actually below sea level!...

[coder]

Yes, that as well - it gives the optimizer more context and allows it to optimize the inlined function on a per-call basis. I didn't want the details...

[coder]

The chips are from different fabs, so it makes more sense to compare transistor counts. And that wide memory interface is costly at the board level. It...

Google wants to get into to the housing and accommodations business? Wow, stealth attack on Air BnB!

If Elon Musk has his way, a network...

It's pretty uncommon, but it happens. Modern CPUs are designed with cache hierarchies where the first couple levels are somewhat isolated from other...

One former compiler engineer, with whom I worked, said they would consider it a bug if someone could write assembly language faster than the compiler's...
