If I'm understanding you right, what you're suggesting is that the individual silicon modules will be fixed, but they will be contected in a single package in lot's of different ways. If that's correct I'd love to see…
> a new architecture that could in one fell swoop kill off the general purpose processor as a concept and the X86 instruction set as the foundation of modern computing. Do you want me to think you're a credulous idiot?…
I think if you look at the incentives in that situation it's very understandable to not speak out. If you're a good employee working at Riot and you have a problem with the culture you have two options: Speak out or…
Well let's be clear - Barry is a product manager. It's not really his area of expertise to change an entire culture, and arguably it shouldn't have been his problem. So it's hard to criticize him for his attempts to…
Well he says he doesn't know why, but that seems disingenuous. If they had said they don't have confidence in his abilities to take the company forward that would be a reason - he could disagree but he would absolutely…
You don't just get rid of the founder and CEO for shits and giggles. I'd love to know what it was that prompted this, although I'm not sure if we'll ever find out.
The key is that if your design goals are ambitious but achievable then you end up with a killer product. If your design goals are unrealistic or unachievable you tank what's achievable chasing a dream. Being frank the…
It's remarkable how little we've seen from that acquisition. It's perfectly possible that Intel has butchered the acquisition the same way they have with many others.
Uber seem to have two really key problems: The first is that self-driving is super difficult, they don't really have the expertise, and a lot of their progress seems to have come from being able disregard proper safety…
That's impressive, but I don't really have any use for a 5 Watt CPU. I've literally just pulled the trigger on moving to a 15inch MBP because of the 47 watt TDP of the parts. The challenge for ARM is crawling up to 45W,…
I think when you look back at the pedo comments, and the market manipulation tweets you can easily see him as being in the middle of the breakdown. The question isn't whether he'll break down, but what his next…
> Efforts are underway to find a No. 2 executive to help take some of the pressure off Mr. Musk, people briefed on the search said. I don't know how anyone could read this and not realise that's a direct search for a…
That's actually incredibly complex - generally the way the revenue model works is that the Movie company will negotiate a certain percentage that depends on how old the movie is. So in opening weekend 100% of the…
Well last time I looked, the answer to question 1 for the Intel OpenCL SDK is actually no. And while yes, it's expected to be slow compared to the native functions, that's not the problem. It's slow compared to…
While I agree with you that software projects aren't unique in having difficulty trying to estimate things, I think that emotionally it's different. If you're digging a tunnel and hit a seam of unobtanium you can go to…
Actually it's not as clear cut as you'd expect. Obviously you can't represent every number in floating point, so you have to choose a way to round numbers - and for simple operations like add you can correctly round the…
There are a number of real issues with the emulation approach even now. Firstly, emulation isn't accurate - if you do floating point math in your application it will give you different results (within the tolerances of…
