I wouldn't say so, because it was a co-processor: e.g., it depended on the 8086 to even generate addresses for memory operations. I think the IBM 7030 Stretch CPU (from 1964) would be a likely contender for being one of…

The levels tool maps a subset of the channel range to the full range, effectively changing the brightness and contrast in one step. The center point controls the gamma correction, so you can map a biased distribution…
You can do something similar in GIMP: 1) Colors > Components > Decompose > LAB 2) For the layers of the A/B (chroma) channels, Colors > Levels > "Auto Input Levels" (maximize the contrast), and move the mid point to the…

Looks like it messed-up and they're just for padding, remove them and it makes sense. I never noticed that before. As such, I propose a replacement :) : To accomplish this, append the following warnings to the software.…

The more popular your software is, the more likely you'll get bug reports from people with just bad hardware. I know a few applications now that perform a simple memory/CPU test when sending a bug report and reject…
I meant that it's a difficult comparison between platforms without having all the details like memory latency, how the memory controller load increases latency (can increase by 4x on some platforms), cache latency, TLB…
Thanks for this, really interesting parent project too, I went down a rabbit hole on that one :)
It's higher bandwidth than any dual-channel DDR5 desktop machine, but Apple never quote the memory latency, so hard to compare otherwise.
It installed and runs perfectly on my VM with an RTX 4080 passed-though using VFIO. It uses the nvidia module rather than nouveau (at least on my GPU).
For those not on macOS, is there a video?
Same, having worked on firmware that controlled relays (and NAND chips) and managed to burn them both out surprisingly quickly due to software bugs :p
That's not very efficient
Encode every 0 as 10 - then decode every 10 back to 0. Or more efficiently, the first 0 as 10, then decode the the first 10 as 0.
OAuth is designed so that an end-user never needs to see an API key (OAuth refresh/access token) or even know what one is. When it is implemented to the spec, that happens well. I think that most of the "just give me an…
Amazon Route 53 is $0.40 per million DNS queries - which would terrify me if I used it, considering a typical 10Gbit server connection hosted at a unscrupulous ASN with no egress IP filtering is capable of sending a…
> I feel like IPv6 is overengineered In what metrics? IPv6 is more simple to implement than IPv4. In Linux 7.1.1 IPv4 is 84kLOC, IPv6 is 59kLOC.
I can think of a few reasons: There wasn't any such features for x86 when the patch was created, other than AES-NI. Many hardware platforms that have TPM, have it connected via a low-bandwidth LPC bus which would have…
There was a patch called Tresor that did this, but I don't think it was updated for a long time. You have to store the encryption key in CPU registers and ensure it's not saved to RAM during task switching or power…
