If someone can round up 51% of Bitcoin's miners and hold them at gunpoint, then they have full control over Bitcoin's rules. Well over 51% of bitcoin mining happens in China, so Xi Jinping can probably change Bitcoin's…
Technically FLP impossibility only applies to deterministic algorithms, not randomized ones, otherwise no consensus protocol would work. So you could imagine a complicated technical solution that could work (eg.…
These instructions are not for the Neural Engine. That is a separate hardware block outside of the CPUs. Apple refers to this feature as "AMX" in their marketing documentation. While AMX could be used for deep learning…
Most recent tape standards have multiple "bands" and "wraps" placed in parallel. The head reads only one wrap at a time, so it takes many passes to read the whole tape. For example an LTO-8 tape has 52 wraps each within…
It may be interesting to look at a more completely labeled die image (eg. a recent AMD laptop chip [1]). I/O controllers, various PHYs, the display pipeline and the media engine account for a significant fraction of…
