> So currently chips are printed into regions that are limited in size by physics, to a 3cm square.

It's not quite that direct a limit. While performance almost always wants bigger chips there are counterbalancing forces (yield and heat dissipation) that want smaller chips.

Chip manufacturing is (roughly) limited by defects until you reach the physical size of a wafer. The larger your chip the more likely that some critical circuit hits/has a defect and fails. For example, if a wafer has 10 defects, but you are producing 1500 chips then at worst you will get a yield of 99%. If you are producing 100 bigger chips, you may get a yield of 90%. If you are only producing 10 (big!) chips, you may get a yield of 0%. This drops as the square of the chip dimension.

After you manufacture the chip, chip size is limited by power distribution and heat dissipation. The bigger your chip the more it needs of both until you can't supply it or cool it anymore. This is why "3D" chips don't really win--getting power in and heat out scales as surface area--not volume.
> it’s already been in place at big cloud providers.

I think the big cloud providers scanning your private data is of dubious ethics, but it's like complaining that your mail carrier is reading the content of your postcards.

So long as you send unencrypted data to a third party your privacy will be limited, regardless of what our laws or norms say. People usually know this, and so many do avoid uploading things to these places or encrypt what they upload.

When its your device itself doing the scanning, ahead of any encryption-- then that protection goes out the window.

Sometimes the same violation of privacy is made more acceptable by a clear boundary that you can stay on one side of to protect your privacy. Your devices vs someone elses devices is the most clear historical boundary in this case, and apple is breaking it.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the erosion of the private boundary to have an effect. And we can't say that the scanning by providers does nothing, -- the convictions prove otherwise. We can only hope that all those convictions were deserved, the nature of this crime is such that its hard to prove someone wasn't framed.
The "local history" feature is not just undo... it can also recover deleted files. I could be wrong but I assume vi doesn't do that. I'd also argue that it's friendlier (surely not faster) to navigate if you need to find the exact point at which you made your mistake.

I know that some editors have a lot of advanced features / plugins for coding. I still think a lot of people prefer editors over IDEs because they don't debug, or lint, or test... not because they're terminal wizards that are slowed down by any sort of GUI.

Intel still has 90%+ of the server market. It only just started moving over to AMD. They did gain a lot of ground over Intel in the desktop market though.
I'll have a glass of whatever you're having.

Intel's first proper competitor to Zen is coming out soon, and from what I've seen so far it looks like a monster. Couple this with them launching GPU's into the most demand-heavy market we might ever see, they don't have to do much to have a good few years.

Also, every measure I've ever seen has AMD still at least a doubling away from parity with Intel, so I find your figure very hard to believe.

I mean, don't you feel like this at least somewhat changes your conclusion then? Yes, the vaccines are quite effective, but now it means that the unvaccinated are only doubly overrepresented in new cases, which at least changes the calculus in my mind.

It's especially ironic because Intel had also previously "glued together" chiplets for the C2Qs and their equivalent Xeons (e.g. X3200 series).

> The 2 × 2 "quad-core" (dual-die dual-core[17]) comprised two separate dual-core die next to each other in one CPU package.
You are right AMD has done that. I don't know if it is the reason they are leading -- they have better process technology and in many ways better core design as well.

But this story is about Intel. Though it depends on how you define "chiplet". In this article it looks like 4 identical chips wired on a package each with their own IO and memory controllers. That's very different from from AMD's core chips wired to an IO chip, and is nothing new for Intel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-chip_module

It's the expected response from Intel when they are unable to compete on throughput per socket with a single chip (they went to DCMs during the period of Opteron dominance too). I don't know what the story is really -- they said the latency was too high to do this before but they've already done something effectively the same (and multi socket SMP systems have even higher chip to chip latency again, so clearly it can be done). I guess they just improved the on package interconnect performance a bit, but almost certainly they would have done a multi chip to compete with AMD even if they were not able to improve that latency.
If you only need a way of calling 911, you don't need a plan or even a SIM to do so.
re: powering through, any tactics you used? Or literally just there in bed promising yourself not to move?
I agree the API is a bit expensive. I'm fortunate that this particular use-case is fit for caching.

It caches every result and only invokes OpenAPI upon clicking the "Generate More" button. The response is then saved for all future users of the site.

So far everything on the page has been generated for under $10. But I can see how it would become prohibitively expensive if generating unique text for each user.
I have essentially this setup -- A decently powerful Win10 machine connected to three large monitors and I connect via X11 over wired gigabit Ethernet to my Linux work machine using Mobaxterm in Win10. It's the best of all worlds -- personal and work machines are completely separate, work apps show up as individual windows on my desktop machine, pure Linux dev environment that matches the prod environment, and no messing around with multi-monitor HiDPI setups in Linux when it "just works" in Windows.
Yes. The article (second paragraph) clearly states that this is a first for Intel, not for Data Centers.

Given that this is a trade-ish publication, I think writers/editors will more or less assume their audience understands the smackdown that AMD has been laying on Intel and AMD's chiplet strategy.
Ah yes, such great tricks to fool the eye. Like programming tricks to fit into small memory footprints I suspect the "how" of these things will get lost over time.

Contemporary with these game developments was an excellent series called "Graphics GEMS" which highlighted different ways to achieve various cool effects. Back in those days I felt a real sense of accomplishment when I got something to both work and "look right" (your eye is a very harsh critic!) and its a bit sad for me that you just call the right Unity of Vulcan API and voila, effect you were looking for on your scene appears.
During an interview process with Goldman Sachs, I was told I would be given a Leetcode interview to 'assess my abilities.' I asked them if this was the usual process for experienced engineers, they said yes. I declined the rest of the interview process. At the time I worked at a major well-known tech company with 5-year tenure.

My thought is: If this is how these companies treat people they actually want to hire, I wonder how they treat people after they're hired?

I think parent’s point is that a one time slap (as big as it might be) as we do with other crimes wouldn’t solve the issue. The punishment has to be more structural, legislating for instance as you suggest, or dramatically changing the entity’s structure as we did with past monopolies.

Sapphire Rapids is more similar to AMD's "Naples" Epyc from 2017 which also used four identical dies. Intel's mesh and EMIB should give Sapphire Rapids dramatically more internal bandwidth than AMD designs. It counts as chiplets IMO because the dies aren't intended to be used standalone.

I'm not sure I like the `$1` and shell function pattern. It might avoid the -I minilanguage, but at the cost of "being clever" in a way that takes a minute to wrap your head around. It's a neat trick, but I don't think it would be easy to understand if you are reading the code for the first time.
I do properly grasp statistics, and your conclusion is unwarranted. If 79% of people are vaccinated, then if hypothetically 79% of the hospitalized people were vaccinated, it would mean the vaccine had absolutely 0% effectiveness.

The fact that only 60% of the hospitalized are vaccinated means the vaccine is more effective than nothing (and the data on death is even better), but as time goes on it becomes clearer the vaccines are not the silver bullet many of us thought they would be.
Neuroscientist Anil Seth: ‘We risk not understanding the central mystery of life
Regarding the Cleveland Clinic link, a random one I picked out to verify, the confidence is actually very low, or more specifically, the statistic most relevant to your quote has a 95% confidence interval of zero and infinity:

> vaccination was associated with a significantly lower risk [...] but not among those previously infected (HR 0.313, 95% CI 0 to Infinity)

I'm no mathematician or statistician, but that sounds like the conclusion should have been that no reliable recommendation can be formulated without more data.

Regarding your chosen quote specifically, there the sentence continues and says

> vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before.

The keyword being "prioritized"; not that they don't recommend vaccinations if you already lived through COVID-19, which (to me) your comment is suggestive of.

Don't know about the rest, I don't have time to check them all out now. Hopefully someone else has more time to properly look at this because your suggestion goes against what most countries are currently implementing so that's interesting.
Not that Intel is in a good spot, but Intel for about the past 4 years has been in the position that AMD (and TSMC) had been in for much of the past 30 years (with some brief switches).

Actually it's not even that in the case of Intel vs AMD because Intel continues to have large revenues and profits (gross margins slipped from usual low-60s to low-50s in the past few years). Whereas AMD was really struggling as a company for long periods.

Could Intel be in terminal decline as a CPU design and/or silicon manufacturing leader? It's possible. Is it a done deal or are they "finished" any time soon? No way. It will be many years while this plays out.

> Java is LL(1)...

Java hasn't ever been able to be parsed with one token look ahead, the earlier versions had a section on how to modify the grammar to be LALR(1)[0] but it was dropped in later versions of the specification -- probably due to added features which made it unfeasible like generic classes.

It's actually quite a good resource since they explain the reasons why the parser needs to have more than one token to figure out what's going on.

Should it be any surprise that the governments are so heavily communicating with these select private companies?

It being unchecked is exactly the point of Google having an intelligence apparatus and governments being A-OK with that.
The state department, hell, a big portion of the entire government is a joke when it comes to cybersecurity.

This comes with the turf of refusing to pay competitive compensation. I'd personally love to help secure the government, but I'm not going to take a massive hit in QoL just for a sense of patriotism.

During the Black Hat 2021 closing keynote, the Secretary of Homeland Security was begging for more cybersecurity engineers to join the government, but there was no acknowledgement of the compensation problem, which is one of their biggest roadblocks. It makes zero sense to whine about getting hacked while paying a fifth of the compensation of private industry. The government ought to put up or shut up.
