That's a stretch. Oracle is claiming copyright on a specific API with a specific name, specific organization and specific individual components / attributes. It is not claiming copyright on all standard lib APIs. In fact, there is no evidence that Oracle has any intention whatsoever to sue Google over Go or Dart.

Dead end. Train researchers to be engineers. Not the other way around.

I wish you luck though. We’ll see in ten years whether programmers are as effective as researchers, or whether researchers are as effective as programmers. In 60 some years of computing, no one has achieved the latter, despite many attempts.

Also, I was surprised that this webpage is basically a waitlist and nothing else. No discussion of technique, no docs, no substance. Just a “you like pytorch? Pytorch rules!” type hype.

I do like pytorch, but I also like knowing one or two substantive points about what the proposal here is. If you want to train a model from your laptop, it’s a matter of applying to TFRC and kicking off a TPU.

The whole ecosystem is in need of massive overhaul. I like the ambition. But I dislike trying to pretend we aren’t programmers. ML is programming, and pretending otherwise will always cause massive, avoidable delays.
That really depends on the type of data, I think. For example, I'm quite sure restaurant owners love it when their restaurant address is shared far and wide, so people can find the restaurant.

When the data is your USP, sure. But there's a ton of data that's not.
Could be an extra factor but a decision like this takes a lot of consideration and would have been in the works for months if not years
This. If they cant get it under control, it wont effect intel as much as you think.

Some say its yield issues, but who knows. 4900HS laptops are selling out like crazy and not keeping up with demand- New laptops arent using the chips because of lack of inventory. They are absoultely beasts though. The zephyrus g14 absolutely dominates on performance + battery life.
If you want to know what changed to get 20% performance increase - everything basically - but they focus on the 8 cores on a die can now access 32mb L3 cache directly rather than two sets of 4 cores on a die accessing 2 x 16mb L3 cache.

Here is the point in the video about IPC improvements:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but ublock breaks almost nothing because it just allows trackers on pages where blocking it would break something.

So if blocking a doubleclick tracker will stop a video from playing on some page/site, an exception will get added to the block list to just allow it on that page/site.

It makes it 'just work', but imo it's not clear enough in the UI that this is happening and I would guess that most users don't even know.
No 5700 w/8 cores price point? Annoying
ECC is supported on the Pro series as well. My home server is running Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G (yay for integrated graphics) and Asrock B550M.

I went through the effort of using qvl memory, but actually testing ECC is a bit more difficult. While ECC is supported & active, memory errors are sadly not reported to the OS. I remember seeing a forum post somewhere of somebody overclocking/undervolting the ram to force errors, but I can't seem to find it right now. There's a fine line between stable, stable with recovered errors, and unstable.

It's often not the the government "cannot" reveal those details (maybe not immediately and directly in some cases, sure, but certainly with the distance of time that tools such as FOIA requests require), but that they "won't" and have no interest to. It should be the public demand with each attempt to increase surveillance to increase oversight. Sousveillance (watching the watchers) is the best known defense we have at keeping surveillance in check. The hard part is speaking those demands to those in power, embedding those checks/balances/required transparency in the surveillance processes in such a way that they cannot be circumvented by those in power.
A very good way to undercut low end Xeons which were bought solely for their insurance against an out of the blue crash.
But this is an architectural tweak on the same node. Zen2 was 7nm TSMC, while Zen3 is 7+nm TSMC.

TSMC must have optimized the heck out of their transistors to deliver such a large benefit. Or the AMD Zen 3 architecture really found some low-hanging fruit or something to grossly improve performance.

I am extremely pessimistic for ML ops startup like this. At the end of the day, cloud service providers have too much of an incentive to provide these tools for free as a cloud value add.

The other thing is that stitching together other open source tools like this is simply not enough value. Who will be incentivised to buy?

Can it be used that way ?

Yes, I think the semantic web is suited to big companies with large teams and huge processing capabilities – they hoover the data up and add it to their own graph. As you've pointed out, the trend is for Google to pull it out of the website and display it on the results page, cutting the content creator out entirely.

Building a tool or service on top of the semantic web is out of reach for most developers because of inconsistencies and complexities, unless they use the tools provided by the giants – and that goes directly against the principles of the semantic web.

The exception here is niche use cases and academia working with huge datasets, where the semantic web seems to be incredibly useful.
Shouldn't head return "Maybe a", since the head of an empty list would be "None"? (Not sure if I got the Haskell terminology correct.)

And speaking of tax havens, it's also likely why a lot of movies are now made in cities like Vancouver is because those places decided to give favorable tax incentives for films to be shot there. So it's not really because of unions.
The FPS improvements on some of those games are huge, makes me think that they've also improved memory transfer efficiency as well as IPC improvements.
Which IBM is making the mainframes? I couldn't tell by reading the press release.
Gaming workloads are strict superset of almost any other workload (because they are extremely taxing on almost any metric a platform can have). Game benchmarks are abundant and reproducible. They are a good indicator of how a platform will deal with almost any other software.

AMD did have a CAD benchmark thrown in.

Not a bad choice at all (wait for that 5000 TR announcement), however, a *950X comes close to TR for much less. My 3950X has made a striking difference for Rust compilation times and I'm strongly considering a 5950X.

I wonder how they came up with 19%. Surely they could nudge it up to 20% and no one would notice. These are synthetic tests after all right?

This is unrelated to multicore, but Ocaml is a language I want to like. I wanted to learn OCaml with the make a lisp project. That is, until I realized it doesn't have Perl regex built in (yes, I have been spoiled by Python, which has practically everything in the standard library). The best way to get Perl regex was a rarely updated 3rd party library which was missing key features like lookahead and lookbehind.
No news on Threadripper?

I second this reaction. Historically, clock speeds scaled inversely with the # of cores. Seems like the efficiency is overtaking other constraints at this point.
I think the question is whether developers actually care if users with cheap devices can't use their SPAs. If you're trying to sell them something, you probably want customers with deep enough pockets to afford a somewhat modern phone. If you don't want to sell them something and you just want to provide information (e.g. restaurant website, digital flyer, event RSVP, etc) you could serve a simple static page, or forego the website entirely and post your information on social media which can then be consumed by optimized native apps.

If you don't want to sell them something and you don't want to tell them something, why are you building a complex SPA at all?

That's already what Google does with Schema.org

They'll make the experience nice enough that your aunt looking for a scone recipe won't want to leave their ecosystem, even if a more free, de-centralized alternative is available.

Sure but without some way for smaller players to get access to the same data that the giants have, there's no way to compete. There's a reason Google, FB, LI, et al have spent as much energy as they have siloing their data, cutting off interop, and consolidating their services. Technical or product or user experience superiority means nothing when you don't have the data; a polished, quick search engine means nothing if it has no results to search through.
I'm searching now but does AMD have an alternative/answer for Intel's QuickSync? Turning on HW acceleration on my Plex server (so that it uses QuickSync) is a game changer. From struggling to handle 3+ 1080p streams and pegging all the cores to being able to do 6+ without going over a load average of 1.
Sounds like a great reason to acquire a startup like this for $XX million. Might be a great outcome if the team is lean with minimal investment.
Hi Guys,
I am new to this group and I am a thinker at UnBiz startup, which is looking to help businesses and individuals to reach untapped and remote clients to expand their business and contacts via new generation digital business cards.

Your help will be massively appreciated and also rewarded with a Enterprise PAID account version and happy to return the favor.
Thanks :)
"This will be the only processor (at launch) with a 65 W TDP" that is shame. The 3900 got good reviews, but it is very hard to buy, while 3900x is available. So I assume same will happen with 5900.

Today you can, but then when the app owner drops a column (or worse, stop populating it!) in a month that signal will break, and the data lake maintainer will be in the unenviable position of navigating the completely undocumented dependency.
I believe this entire technique is known as SSR - Server-Side Rendering. It's built in to Vue and React and you can find examples on their respective sites.
I definitely need ram way more than I need CPU, but there are still plenty of things that CPU helps me save time with as a dev, and often those things are somewhat parallel. So more cores is good too.

Introduction to WASM for Dotnet Devs: Building with Uno Platform, XAML, and C#
AMD guarantees ECC works with their workstation focused Threadripper line. On Ryzen, it only works if you do your homework picking hardware.

It's a shame they made the TR platform much more expensive in the last generation.
The train could offer a better service though. More leg room, proper internet connections, better food (the altitude won't make it bland) being able to move around etc. You could even make the train overnight and people could sleep in them.

The other thing is that the airport process isn't very friendly.
I think this is a matter of opinion. I'm personally a fan of reified properties, but this is the source of differences between property graph databases and RDF triple stores.
Yeah I noticed that comparison and was surprised at that given the amazing single thread benchmark performance improvement. We really have to see the benchmark.

One might end up in a situation where for developers the older generation cpu being cheaper and more available might make more sense.

I wish somebody really did some suitable benchmark suite for developers.
The proposed pressure was equivalent to 70k feet altitude, IIRC. So a pressure of about 3.5 kPa.
Honestly it's not.

What it is, is badly documented. If you can't work out how to use it from scratch you probably don't know what you want to use it for, if that makes sense.

The actual VM makes quite a lot of sense, you just have to read a lot of kernel samples and txt documentation to work out how to do it properly.
A team of small engineers inside AMD created Mantle, and AMD management did fuck-all with it; they donated it to Khronos for Vulkan, but some lawyers got involved and patent claims held up the release for a few years (Vulkan being late? That's AMD's fault!)

So the team that mostly created Mantle left AMD, got hired by Apple, where they built Mantle 2.0, aka Metal.
>>Many professionals, including developers, don't need such CPUs too.

Lol, sorry, but our C++ projects have an average build time of 40 minutes on an 8-core/16threaded Xeon CPU in my workstation. Even using Fastbuild/SN-DBS it still takes 5-10 minutes. We'll take any number of cores we can get, thank you.
Using monorepos to increase velocity during early stages of product development
All Facebook apps at the time could request the same permissions as the CA apps - I know this because I built many of them for ad campaigns, such as contests and games.

A lot of game/contest mechanics relied on things like posting on friends' timelines, or your own timelines, etc.

In my case there was no real interest from our customers in taking the data and doing something with it, but if the intent was there, it could have very easily been done.

Furthermore, when my firm did security and pentesting projects, we routinely found exploits that could eventually lead to us getting the access tokens and secrets for their user database, or the app token and secret. If I had to guess - 70% of the game/contest applications that we audited had these vulnerabilities after they had been launched leading to companies approaching us us panicked, asking for help with users who were cheating. Many were aghast to learn of what could have potentially happened over and above rigging the leaderboards.

It's not enough that there were apps out there who had the ability to get this data. It's also not enough that there were apps who wanted to get the data intentionally. You also have to consider the number of apps that had this data and had weak security. Someone could have just broken in, taken the keys, and taken their users' data that way. Nobody would have known. At best it may have emerged in Facebook's "auditing process" in 2017 that they conducted to see which apps performed these kinds of queries - does anyone believe they did this in good faith and disclosed 100% of such apps which looked at social graph, friend posts, messages, etc?

I am pretty sure the Obama 2012 campaign did something similar with their outreach Facebook apps too, as it was reported in the press at the time (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/feb/17/obama-digital-...)

Most users were uninformed and blindly hit accept at the permissions screen because they could win a car or an iPad or a Playstation by entering the contests.

In my view, the entire story was exaggerated and turned into a public spectacle, for very obvious reasons that nobody likes to admit to.
As far as I see/understand it:

Gaming is a single-thread use case that resonates with a lot of people and is generally easy to understand / relate to.

AMD could have used some other single-core use case like high frequency trading, but that would not have been grasped by so many people like the gaming use case.

Now add the huge success of youtube channels like LinusTechTips and similar and you get the point: the gaming use case helps deliver the message to a wider audience.

Roads and rails can have small gaps to allow for stretching from temperature changes. Pipelines solve this with U-shaped segments. Hyperloop can't do either, requires something with airtight-enough seals or some expensive materials.

At such high speeds as proposed, any sagging is impermissible (again, unlike pipelines). Of course it's solved engineering problem but it markedly increases the construction price and complexity.

So, no, hyperloop is not really comparable to pipelines.
