I don't believe so. The issue is that x87 is 80bit floats which is awkward. As such, it still requires dedicated hardware. Intel has proposed and abandoned pushing a new x86 architecture [1] which tweaks x86…
Lawmakers should have outlawed EULAs the moment they first showed up in software. The idea that someone could sell you a product which is completely broken until you sign away all your rights on a contract you don't get…
You only need an external server if you want to make it so the end user can access their device remotely. Otherwise, an app can very easily just scan the network for the device. Heck, the app itself could be the thing…
Not to mention the size difference as well. The JVM stack is 2^16 in size while x87 has 8. The java compiler can practically pretend like the stack is infinite in size while a compiler dealing with x87 has to contend…
LG sits at exactly the location where screenshots are possible. Eventually, a digital signal needs to be converted into pixels on a screen. Once that happens, it's trivial to also pipe those pixels into a screenshot.…
Pretty much the exact reason I stopped using Roku. I bought a streaming device to stream, but apparently roku decided selling devices wasn't lucrative enough so they started selling ads instead. I really wish there was…
x87 is such a weird architecture. It was designed the same way you'd design a chip for a scientific calculator. Heck, It's almost a perfect fit for an HP RPN calculator. But for a compiler to target, it's just so…
> So they are claiming that ACR is done entirely through audio processing, and no visual data from the screen itself is used? That...doesn't seem plausible. It's probably easier to do and every bit as accurate as just…
I'm not sure of the current state of it, but a few years back specturm was selling access to a private network based on consumer routers. Tmobile could partner with them so that one of their customers could go through…
They should flat out be banned for consumer electronics and goods. It's insane that something you purchase can force a post purchase EULA before it can do anything. Imagine buying a shirt but there's a 10 page EULA that…
Especially since I think there's a pretty easy to understand mechanism for a hot drink to cause cancer. Hot liquid damages the cells lining your esophagus which potentially damages the DNA of some cell leading to…
In some ways I wish that sample size and delta were manditory parts of these sorts of headlines. Like "In a study of 900,000 people, those that drank their coffee were 5% more likely to develop esophageal cancer". At…
I agree, that'd be a great way to approach things. The problem is a lot of the regulators are instead looking at doing tax breaks for these data centers when they should be taxing them (and other businesses) for the…
It's not the only GW datacenter planned [1]. AFAIK, a majority of these big datacenters are going to produce their power via natural gas turbines. I don't know of any that are actually planning on powering themselves…

That data centers need a lot of power and some cases a lot of water isn't some sort of conspiracy theory. When you have data centers like the box elder county DC that is planed to consume more power than the entire…
Vote strategically. Democrats aren't by default better on this issue vs republicans so you need to be more involved than just voting in the general. If you are in a D leaning district, then register as a D and vote in…
What's worked really well for us is not having the DBAs as gate keepers, but rather having them as guardians and experts for devs to rely on. Our DBAs are the first line of defense when a DB starts to struggle. They…
Those are only a fraction of what oil becomes (around 10% total) everything else is burned.
Leyden has been relying pretty heavily on training runs which I get, but man is that a pretty hard burden to setup. The tooling for doing these sorts of training runs doesn't really exist, you end up needing to do…
woof, yeah, Just did the test myself (because I was curious) and it spat out the answer pretty quick.
