- Comment on The decline of Intel.. 1 day ago:
I believe my first amd was a desktop athlon around 2000. I needed a fast machine to crunch my undergraduate thesis and that was the most cost effective.
In recent years I can’t buy amd for a strong desktop, went with xps and there’s no options. Linux is a requirement for me, so it narrowed down my choices a lot. As you’d expect, it’s a horrible battery life compounded by being forced to pay and not choose an NVIDIA card that also has poor drivers and power management.
x86 and it’s successor amd86 instruction set is a Pandora box and a polished turd, hiding things such as micro instructions, a full blown small OS running in parallel and independent of BIOS, and other nefarious bad practices of over engineering that is at the roots of spectre and meltdown.
What I mean is I prefer AMD over Intel, but I prefer riscv over both.
- Comment on EU warns Microsoft it could be fined billions over missing GenAI risk info 2 days ago:
That’s the first fine, plus more if they delay complying.
I’d imagine if the report is bad there will be requests for improving it as well, accompanied by due dates and more fines.
- Comment on How come hotel check-in time is always 3-4? 3 days ago:
Agree with your principles but I have questions on details
If there’s several rooms to clean and assuming good planning the last rooms will be ready by 3pm. However the first rooms will be ready by noon or earlier.
I’m not saying customers deserve it, but the math says it’s possible for the poor guy on a 20h connection that arrived at 6am.

How many years is that, roughly 30? I should try something like it but with a bigger number

You’re the negative

Australia is great at this. It has a crazy number of migrants, if I’m not mistaken 50% of people is either 1st Gen Australian or 0th Gen like OP and me.
- Comment on How do you handle family requests that you disagree with? 1 week ago:
Yeah this is the only post that I agree with so far.
To op, also have in mind that re watching movies many years later can feel a bit cringe even with great and recognized movies. People change their expectations over time and the collective aesthetics do too.

That means the same as fossing the tcp so it bootstraps your privacy.

Jumping off a building is the Russian way.
American way is walking into a school in the middle of a shooting.
Australian way is going to the mall to bet on the ponies and running into a stabber. (I’m really sorry this is too soon, but next week nobody would understand the joke)

- Comment on Here’s your chance to own a decommissioned US government supercomputer 2 weeks ago:
When you get to write and benchmark your own code you’ll see technology has limits and how they impact you.
You can have as many raspberry pis as you want, and accomplish faster computation if you can use the same budget with Xeon on dozens of MB in cache and hundreds of gb in ram with gigabit network cards.
10 years from now these Xeon will be like rpi compared to the best your money can buy.
All of those things have to fit in a building, not a desk. The best super computers look like Google’s data centers, but their specific needs dictate several tweaks done by very smart people. Super computers are supposed to solve 1 problem with 1 set of data at a time, not 100 problems with 1000,000 data set/people profiles at a time which are much easier to partition and assign to only 1000th of your data center at a time.

I came to share exactly that conclusion for different reasons. Like they remember people and always attack the same ones and leave alone the same ones.
- Comment on Here’s your chance to own a decommissioned US government supercomputer 2 weeks ago:
If you have too many “slow” modes in a super computer you’ll hit a performance ceiling where everything is bottle necked by the speed of things that are not the CPU: memory, disk for swap, and network for sending partial results across nodes for further partial computing.
