You're not the first person to say so (and I don't mean to dispute it), but I have never been able to find a clear answer for /why/ those processes are incompatible. Is it built in different silicon, is it physical…
That's a negative framing and while I'm not going to call it /wrong/, but world population is increasing so of course our energy usage is going to increase too. If you scroll a little further down on your linked page,…
Could you point me towards the kind of code people programming in dynamically-typed languages produce? I have lived in statically typed languages almost all of my life, and even when I don't, I pretend I do, just…
Not going probably never even crossed his mind. Social status in Roman society was very strongly influenced by military success. He was a previously successful general. Historically (with all the accuracy you get when…
Yes and so we use HBM for AI (among other things), but that's an exception. For things like games or displaying webpages, its not very important and we generally don't put HBM into things for that.
I think you have misplaced a unit somewhere, because that would be a truly absurd amount of corn. A quick trip past wikipedia [1] suggest the figure was 383.6 million tonnes in 2021, which is still approximately a…
Your feelings are obviously your own, but a Starlink terminal isn't that big and can transfer quite a lot of tokens. Every single satellite has sufficient cooling for its power production, otherwise they would be…
The satellite moves, so every orbit it captures a globe spanning strip that is 50 miles wide (here uncritically accepting the 50 miles figure). And the carrier isn't going to be in the middle of the pacific, its going…
So, is there anything about GPU's in here right now? I didn't actually finish Act 2, but it seems to end in a conventional processor with the GPU first coming after another two acts currently under construction.
What is so unbelievable about that? Sure, its going to take decades to actually make the transition and the UH-60 will remain in service for decades more after that in less demanding roles. I expect by the time this…
The L2 already keeps track of what lines are somewhere in L1's for managing coherency. Divide the cache into "meta-caches" indexed by the virtual bits and treat them as separate from the L2's point of view. Duplicate…
Can you not take some of those virtual bits and get more buckets that way? I am sure it will make things more complicated if nothing else by them possibly being mapped to the same physical page, but it doesn't sound…
I'm sorry, I'm clearly missing something but why would page size impact L1 cache size?
Alas, no matter how the bits that makes up my bank balance looks, in practice its still a single point of failure where I might simply lose access to my money if the right service is down. Cash has much better uptime…
The guts of a LLM isn't something I'm well versed in, but > to get the first N tokens sorted, only when the big model and small model diverge do you infer on the big model suggests there is something I'm unaware of. If…
More or less, yes. Of course, defects are not evenly distributed, so you get a lot of chips with different grades of brokenness. Normally the more broken chips gets sold off as lower tier products. A six core CPU is…
Whatever our human laws and morality says about right and wrong and fault, the laws of physics usually judges the car a winner when it hits somebody. Placing yourself somewhere where pedestrians are not expected…
All of Mr. Devereaux's work is wonderful including the series you linked, but I think that one its overly focused on the household. I think his two part series on "Lonely Cities"[1][2] is a lot better at giving you a…

At least in my case, I got curious about the strength of /u/dustbunny's denouncement of Godot+C#. I would have have put it as a matter of preference/right tool with GDScripts tighter engine integration contrasted with…
I don't see how this article could possibly support the argument that C# is slower than GDScript It compares several C# implementations of raycasts, never directly compares with GDScript, blames the C# performance on…
Are there technical reasons to prefer GDScript over C#? GDScript is undoubtedly better integrated in the engine, but I would have expected C# compare more favorably in larger projects than the game jam sized projects I…
I'm unsure if you're making a joke that flies over my head, but no Greenland is Danish, not Dutch.
A lot of people have made careers out of telling you that it's a failure, but while not everything about the F-35 is an unquestionable success, it has produced a "cheap" fighter jet that is more capable than all but a…
And the fact that superman can fly is evidence that people are lighter than air. Otherwise it wouldn't happen. The costs (in money and energy) of the infrastructure to mine another solar system would pay for a lot of…
