> Actually, techwise AMD has outperformed Nvidia.

Pretty much false. Having the worst GPU compute stack in the whole industry is not "outperforming", and that's very much part of the tech aspect.

> Nvidia was only able to keep up because they used Samsung 8nm which is extremely cheap.

They got cheaper to produce chips at pretty much a perf/W parity with the competition's GPUs.

NVIDIA were able to avoid using the latest nodes because of their architecture advantages, keeping their 7nm allocation where it's needed the most: high-margin datacenter products.

Can someone explain why neon is critical for "lasers used in chip manufacturing" ? I don't think they'd be using He-Ne lasers, and if they are I would think those could be replaced fairly easily with solid-state lasers.
I don't believe I have ever 'looked' for ideas. As far as I can recall, I build stuff to solve a problem I have. There are 2 classes though

1. I have a problem but I think it's just a small thing or very unique to me.

2. I have a problem and I see that other people have the same problem but they have simply learnt to live with it. Or I have this problem and it's driving me crazy ;)

For stuff in group 2, I first try to quickly build something (no matter how hacky) and then as time goes on, I try to expand it/get others to use it (this is how I got my current project). This in turn leads to more feedback which either helps me refine or abandon trying to commercialize it.

I also check out forums for the area that I'm working on and also look at bug trackers if it's public. Those are 2 places to get information on user requirements/pains. For example, my current project is on Google App Engine so I check the Google Groups forum for Google App Engine regularly
There's cost in the CPU because

- Every register must be usable as a pointer, so if you make your addresses (i.e. pointers) too big for no good reason you're wasting silicon.

- A solution to the above is picking a subset of registers that can address memory and making them big and leaving others as is, but this complicates the architecture and makes it ugly and complex

- Another solution is to alias names so that registers are accessible either as monolithic 128/512/1024 blobs or as smaller subslices (A32_1 is the least significant 32 bits of the 128-bit register A, A32_2 is the next 32 bit slice and so on). This lessens the waste because when you don't need a 128-bit register you have 4 32 bit register instead and there's no such thing as too many registers. x86 does something vaguely similar but it's super ugly for different reasons, I don't see any problems with an architecture designed like this from the start, someone better at Computer Architecture might.

- All functional units in the CPU will have to be the size of the largest register N, this would be a waste if they don't have the ability to function instead as N/n parallel n-bit units instead, and designing this into the architecture might be complex and entailing a lot of decisions. (e.g. If a 128-bit adder is functioning as parallel 4 32-bit adders, where do the 4 separate overflow bits go?)

It's been a toss up for me. Some juniors are super self motivated and can take advice and run with it. In these scenarios I really enjoy mentoring because it feels like a back and forth process. Others need their hands held a lot and tend to just assume they can't figure things out on their own which becomes exhausting to deal with.
Incentives for governments to deliver good results are much lower than in the private markets(not non-existent though), which is why governments are so bad at capital allocation. Its almost like the government wants to look like they are doing something, without ever actually following through.
It's not yet clear whether or not this war will end like the one with Georgia, or with a worse outcome.

> basically a non-story

I don't think this is the right take. I'm going to venture that pretty much everyone thinks it was worse than this, i.e. that the more young people feel depressed than happier in COVID-time. So "it's actually on average no effect" very much is a "story", it would be something that would cause most people to substantially update their models of the world if it's sound research.

Put differently, "1 in 3 young people felt depressed" isn't surprising at all. "1 in 3 young people felt happier" is surprising to me. So leading with the surprising bit makes sense for a lede.

All of this is meta-level, I have no opinion on the object-level validity of the research.

Just in terms of the scope of the problem ... is there any evidence that these findings apply to humans eating products from livestock fed with soybean oil? If not, surely what matters in this context is not how much is "produced and consumed" but how much is consumed by humans?
> Open Source is made up by the organizations that represent Open Source. As such if the Organizations are hostile to Free Software, then Open Source is hostile, you can not separate the 2 like you are attempting

In my mind, it's only licenses and the software they're applied to, not organizations, that can be open source or not.

> Sure under a technical definition Open Source all Free Software is open source, however not all Open Source software is Free Software.

Neither category is a subset of the other. For example, SQLite is free software but not open source, because the Free Software Definition includes public domain software, but the Open Source Definition explicitly excludes it. And prior to Perl's adoption of the GPL, it was open source but not free software due to the Artistic License 1.0. Anyway, keep in mind that these examples are really rare, and that the vast majority of programs are either both or neither.

> That is the core of the problem, as we move forward in time, the amount of software that is "Open Source" while not being Free expands, not contracts.

I can't think of any programs in recent times that are open source but not free software. Do you know of any?
> I don't understand the reasons for the invasion of Ukraine.

I think I do.

It seems to be the same as the reason for invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Ukraine also started a transformation, slipping away from Russia's influence and opening to West. Russia's rulers (whether that is Putin or whomever) understandably got pissed by this loss of influence "in their backyard" and they decided they have to do something.

It was clear to Russians for a long time now that NATO was fractured on Ukraine and that even the hawkish Western powers won't go into direct war with Russians because of Ukraine. It's not that important to anybody in the West.

Considering the fact West won't fight in Ukraine, and it did not provide any real concessions to Russia's demands, it is not surprising that Russia has taken initiative. It makes perfect sense, for Russians it is the only way to make sure NATO/EU won't happen and also win control and resources in Ukraine at the same time (which may be a substantial reason as well, despite the fact Putin does not talk about it).

Considering the disproportion in military powers, I think now it would be best for Ukrainians to capitulate, admit defeat and avoid unnecessary deaths. Also, the West bears some responsibility for this misery in Ukraine. Even from western point of view, West should have never started this overture process with false promises and predictable bad results. Unless the Russian invasion was actually a desired result in some secret mastermind plan made in the West... which does not seem likely.

As someone who lived through 4 years of war, my advice is to get out while you still can. As incredibly difficult as it is, it will only get more difficult to leave and it is unlikely to get any easier to stay. I have absolutely no knowledge of the current situation in Ukraine, I'm merely advising based on my own personal experience.

To everyone questioning why Ukranian population haven't heeded the warnings from Biden/West and left already - I can only assume you have never been in a comparable circumstance.

Deep-ultraviolet excimer lasers, I think (?). Not a domain expert!

- "Excimer laser gas mixtures are a combination of rare gases (argon, krypton, xenon, or neon) and halogen gases (fluorine or chlorine). The mixture of gases determines the wavelength of DUV light produced. Argon+fluorine+neon (193nm) and Krypton+fluorine+neon (248nm) are the two most common mixtures used. In terms of volume; neon makes up approximately 96–97.5% of the mixture."

I think he is gambling that he can "Shock and Awe" his way across Ukraine in a few days with minimal casualties. And then quickly install a new government or declare Ukraine a Russian territory.

This is probably why he gave such a strong warning against NATO intervention (re: veiled nuclear threat), he doesn't want anyone interfering with that initial push, which could then lead to a long drawn out conflict.

And this is also probably why Trump, Tucker and other hard right leaders and factions are still parroting pro-Putin propaganda. If "Shock and Awe" works, then the "post-war" narrative is going to switch to something like "See that wasn't a big deal, the media was just scaremongering, the Ukrainian people did not want to fight, and prefer to be a part of Russia. Everyone needs to chill out and move on."

This is not to say that I don't think Putin is crazy. But just trying to read between the lines, I think they think they can get away with this. After all they did invade Crimea with little pushback. On one hand, I hope Ukraine will pull through, but on the other hand, I do worry that the longer this draws out, the further we get away from Putin's playbook, and then more erratic he will be. But if this thing is over in a few days, watch for the right wing to start pushing for a quick return to normalization with Russia.
"no, but we want our customers to have an immersive brand experience"

- egos
They've used a constructive approach to this, and I think what flips from "Electoral Autocracy" to "Electoral Democracy" relies on a threshold calculation of "polyarchy":

"We claim that Dahl’s theory of polyarchy (1971, 1998) provides the most comprehensive and most widely accepted theory of what distinguishes a democracy based on six (1998,p. 85—originally p. 8 in his 1971 book) institutional guarantees (elected officials, free and fair elections, freedom of expression, alternative sources of information, associational autonomy, and inclusive citizenship). This conception requires not only free and fair elections but also the freedoms that make them meaningful, and thus avoids the electoral fallacy (Diamond, 2002; Karl, 1986). "

I don't know how they made and weighted that calculation, but you can see how any country near the threshold would have lots to argue about. US I imagine scored low (or high, not sure which way is +ve) on inclusive citizenship in earlier years, less clear on the others.

Flush performance varies by 6x and is not necessarily correlated with overall perf or price. If you are doing lots of database writes or other workloads where durability matters don't just look at the random/sustained read/write performance!

High flush perf: Crucial P5 Plus (fastest) and WD Red

Despite being a relatively high end consumer drive the Seagate had really low flush performance. And despite being a budget drive the WD Green was really fast, almost as good as the WD Red in my test.

The SK Hynix drive had fast flush perf at times, then at other times it would slow down. But it sometimes lost flushed data so it doesn't matter much.

Purpose-built for GCP: Ternary is redefining application health to include cost
