no. IEEE splits the power of two exponent from the base 2 mantissa. Yes, the exponents are added during a multiply, but the mantissas do an ordinary multiply. The idea is rather than storing a number x as (exponent,…
It was more than one minute.
> her "rational objections" were not be-all and end-all of the situation. I hope this is not what you think my position is. If you want to change someone's mind, you need to understand it. If someone believes false…
I got the covid shot and every booster. I have no qualms about mRNA messing me up, and I think it was a tremendous life saver. As stated, there was also a ton of misinformation floating around, and people believed that…
There is a legitimate discussion of what can be mandated you do to your body. However, that discussion was largely side-tracked by the massive amount of disinformation (eg, "Plandemic") that circulated online. There are…
Which is worse, when people noun verbs, or when they verb nouns?
nvidia doesn't make chips -- nvidia designs chips and TSMC or Samsung or whatever foundry makes the chips. nvidia can't build either GPUs or ASICs.
I've experienced this recently. My wife has osteoporosis and her doctor told her to eat sardines with bones to get more calcium. She doesn't like eating them straight, so she makes hummus and blends in two cans of…
First convince the DRAM suppliers to drop their prices for you and then maybe nvidia will drop the DGX price for you too.
It is really fast and ... really hallucinates. I asked "Does the Wang corporation still exist? If not, what happened to it?" and it replied (in part): "Yes, the Wang Corporation, the company that originally developed…
The article claims: > The Z80 is fully binary compatible with the 8080 instruction set. It wasn't in regards to the flag register. The parity flag behaved differently for some ops. And of course it would be possible to…
The sailing-around-the-world (and similar) market is obviously miniscule. The isolated communities probably tend to be on the less affluent part of the world, so it doesn't seem to justify a 100x expansion.

What suspicious link? The person is in their AI-powered page that google provides with pre-cooked suggested prompts. If the user clicks one of those and triggers the security explait, is that what you are calling…
I often embarrass my daughter when she has some new friend over. If the topic comes up, I give a demonstration. I'm 62 and I've never tried to get a tan and work indoors, and I haven't had a serious sunburn in close to…
My mistake -- what I wrote was from memory so I got the bit wrong about the multiplier ROM. I must have confused that detail with the design of the Wang 2200 computer, which had double precision BCD float math and did…
Northstar made an S-100 card which did FP math, using BCD arithmetic. It had a ucode ROM and a 4b (single digit) ALU, and a few small RAMs to hold the digits. If I remember correctly you could program it to select how…
Recent Climate Town video on the move to trucks and SUVs: https://youtu.be/JPm4de6-eTg?si=Eu1y3uQIeCGnkR_2 If you don't know Rollie Williams, Climate Town videos are informative but suffused with a lot of humor to…
Ages ago, my girlfriend at the time worked for a company that routinely got SIBR (small business innovation research) grants. Such grants made up part of her total workload. The crazy thing was that if she worked for 10…
No kidding. When I zoom in on a few square miles around my house and ask to see restaurants, it shows only a few of them even though there is plenty of space -- it isn't like it has to prune some to make it readable. I…
I just did. I had been using FUTO voice, but I see that FUTO keyboard also supports voice input, so I'm not sure if I should delete FUTO voice as being redundant now.
Thanks for your thoughts. I use FUTO voice usually, but there are situations where typing out a short message is better -- eg, in a restaurant or doctor's office or someplace where voice input might bother other people.…
I've been using Graphene on my Pixel 7a for about a year and I'm happy I made the switch. For sure it is a bit rougher than using Google's OS, but not enough to make me regret it. The main things I miss are (1) when I'm…
How is this ethical? The ethics section of the summary simply asserts it was OK, but I don't see how this being done in a private practice excuses them from normal strictures. They say this wasn't an experimental…
You must be talking wet weight. 5g of dry mushrooms is about 50mg of psilocybin, which has been referred to as a "heroic dose" for decades.
