The problem with garbage collection in most cases isn't really performance but correctness.

The only thing the garbage collector does is allowing you to not think about memory. And you can not write good code if you do not know how your memory is being used.

It is a massive disservice with barely any tangible benefits.

anandtech is reporting that the chip might be for the LGA2066 platform[1] for home use. ;)

Before you get too excited, the current generation of 28-core xeon running at 2.5G costs you over $10k each [2]. I won't be too surprised if Intel sets the price of a 5G 28-core Xeon at $15-20k.

That being said, having more choices is always good. Can't wait to see how AMD is going to respond to this using their Epyc line of chips.

ATLAS physicist here -- you're mostly right! The existence of a Higgs boson has been confirmed with extremely high confidence. And this news... it's exciting in the sense that it's an important result, but it's a bit of a damper on those of us who were hoping to discover new secrets about the universe.

Interestingly, the primary production mechanism for the Higgs boson at the LHC proceeds via the fusion of gluon particles from the colliding protons. This seems strange at first glance, since the Higgs interacts with particles proportionally to their mass, while the gluons are massless. In the standard model, there is a higher-order process wherein the gluons annihilate into a virtual "loop" of top quarks (which are very massive), which then "lend" their mass to produce the Higgs.

Because previous measurements have been consistent with the Standard Model prediction, we already had some evidence that the coupling to top quarks was nominal. However, there are other possible scenarios involving exotic physics that could mimic this production mechanism, which could imply the existence of new forces/particles, and that the Higgs boson does not couple to "normal" particles in the predicted fashion. Because of the nature of these heavy virtual loop processes, it turns out that it's pretty hard to distinguish between different such scenarios by examining the kinematic properties of the events. Hence, the main observable is the rate, and even that can be made to match a wide range of values with or without standard couplings, given a clever enough theory.

This recent result demonstrates directly that the Higgs boson does indeed couple to the top quark in a matter roughly consistent with the Standard Model expectation (the CMS measurement shows an upward fluctuation, indicating even stronger coupling than expected, although this is probably just a statistical fluctuation). Therefore, no fancy/exotic physics (such as string theory, strong gravity, etc) are required to explain the observed production of Higgs bosons so far at the LHC.

"TCP+IP should have been split differently"

After reading I agree with some of the divisions that occur, but think that if more layer splitting happens it will be laterally (with defined interfaces in a 'meta' protocol layer).

* IP shouldn't fragment
* Connections should only exist in higher layers

Connections probably should be divided in to different logical parts, but interact as closely related components of a validated and reliable "pipe". Supporting mobile endpoints (in my mind) clearly means dropping the implicit authentication of an interface address and instead using a stronger cryptographic one. That's also why the connection layer needs to remain unified, even if the components within it are distinct: attacks on the connection are equivalent to packets that failed checksum.

Compare a 500 with a Panda on the same platform. The latter has much more internal volume and looks just as ... bland.

Consensus and Compromise
I was a bit involved in the ATLAS result. IMHO, it's not really that fancy. Basically, there's a boosted decision tree that is used to select signal-like events, and it was re-optimized some new features and a larger training set. Also, they dropped a statistical categorization that was of interest for a related process in favor maximizing sensitivity to this ttH production mechanism specifically.

I haven't looked too carefully at the CMS result, so no comment there.

And text cause you know...

Intel's 18-core i9 CPU is still impressive, but that's last year's news. Today at Computex, Intel SVP Gregory Bryant demoed a 28-core processor running at 5GHz. It's the first time we've seen a single socket desktop CPU cram in that many cores, and it's certainly powerful. In Cinebench, it achieved a score of 7,334 on stage, something that's only bested by multi-processor systems. Better yet, Bryant says it's not just a concept, as Intel plans to sell the 28-core CPU by the end of the year. Time to start saving.

I'd probably suggest that if neither you nor your clients release the code then it doesn't really fit Stallman's definition of Free Software. Business decisions to not release it publicly are exactly what he's talking about when he claims the code is limiting freedom of the users, without source they can't modify the code.

They don't release the code nor the software itself, as it is for internal use, not for redistribution. That's in accordance with the philosophy:

"Distributing a program to users without freedom mistreats those users; however, choosing not to distribute the program does not mistreat anyone. If you write a program and use it privately, that does no wrong to others."

Neither of these statements is true.
> Microsoft tried to kill Windows gaming

Huh? If you mean "gaming on Windows", I can't imagine how that could possibly be true, and if they tried, either nobody got the memo or they did a really bad job at trying. PC gaming has always been defacto Windows gaming. If you mean "Windows Games", that's still a thing, they're just integrating closer with their XBox platform, which makes perfect sense given that XBox is integrating closer with Windows 10 from the other side.

> they tried to kill Firefox

So did Google (they're still trying). So did Apple. Are you holding grudges against either of them?

> Their operating system design is nearly abusive

Heavily subjective. Windows has had its regressive moments, but overall it's consistently been more usable than anything on the market. 95 was a joy, 98 was a joy, XP was a joy, Vista was bad, 7 was a joy, 8 was bad, 10 is amazing. Compare that to MacOS* which only started competing with OSX and peaked at 10.5 (Leopard) and has been basically going slowly downhill since, with regressive behaviors, hostility to anyone that doesn't want to live in their walled garden, hostility to legacy software (many Windows XP programs still run perfectly with explicit compatibility settings, meanwhile OSX barely supports apps that are built for 3 major releases back-- that's only 3 years of support) and deprecation/removal of core OS APIs with zero intention to replace them. You want abusive? Try developing on a platform that competes against its own developer community and keeps APIs private for competitive advantage. Try developing on a platform that strong-arms you into paying yearly fees just so you can deploy applications that work out of the box on client machines. Comparatively, Apple has been much more hostile to developer communities than Microsoft ever has.

> I want nothing more than for them to disappear

Clear indication of an unhealthy long-kept grudge. Even if Microsoft has done all the things you claim, you don't really have a moral high ground if you're sitting there rooting for their failure. You can feel free to not use their products, but to want them and all of their customers to fail because you don't like what they've done in the past isn't really a "moralistic" viewpoint, it's just brooding.

...and you're going to have to move past the brooding if you want to make it to Acceptance.

There is a certain beauty in not only accepting that you might be wrong, but actively wanting to be wrong because that could be so much more interesting!

And a certain sadness in the disappointment some obviously have when they accept that the less interesting outcome is the one that they receive.
Take a look at recent technologies they tried to push. UWP for example. I don't see any change in direction here, to be honest. They try to lock-in developers on every step.

Many devs are looking elsewhere, so they paint themselves as having changed. And they did, to an extend. But you if they ever get in a position where they could reign in developers, you can count on it that they will try.

If we assume this design is based off of something similar to the 28-core 8180 which has a 2.5GHz base frequency and (generous, likely understated) 205W TDP, this chip could easily have a TDP north of 300W.

Those boxes on stage sure don't look air-cooled to me.
The plumbing seriously resembles that of a phase-change setup, which would actually make sense here as an extremely low operating temperature would help tame the leakage power tremendously.

In summary though, it ain't gonna be cheap to buy or cool.

Microsoft specifically also stated that Linux "mutates" in anti-Linux advertisements, for example https://doraj.com/wp-images/2005/03/microsoft-vorteile.jpg

This fits pretty well with Microsoft calling Linux a "cancer".

(Note that you also have to carefully review licensing of libraries used with proprietary licenses; that's not a problem caused by open source unlike the quote wants to imply. Proprietary licenses also tend to "contamine" a project and make the entire project non-free, so that is not specific to open source either.)
I too was around in IT in the 90's, but I have a different take.

To me Microsoft under Nadella have changed substantially. they're more open and more collaborative. Sure they want to make money, but that's a given for a corporation.

As to NIH, well I was at KubeConEU and the Microsoft engineers on the Microsoft stand were running Macbooks, and the Microsoft Keynote speaker was running an Ubuntu desktop, so it maybe isn't quite as cast-iron as it used to be.

There's a third option, which historically arose out of the issues you describe with your first approach. This is to deny that quantum theory is a description of an objective, observer-independent reality. Rather it is a kind of "personal rule book" which informs an agent's beliefs about future interactions with the world.
