It’s The Register. I love them but sometimes they go a bit too far with their inflammatory remarks in order to get clicks. In this case it seems like it worked based on the number of HN comments about it.
IIRC There was a Jim Keller interview a few years ago where he said basically the same thing (I think it was from right around when he joined Tenstorrent?). The ISA itself doesn't matter, it's just instructions. The way the chip interprets those instructions is what makes the difference. ARM was designed from the beginning for low powered devices whereas x86 wasn't. If x86 is gonna compete with ARM (and RISC-V) then the chips are gonna need to also be optimized for low powered devices, but that can break decades of compatibility with older software.
Jim Keller did say essentially that, and I think this is proven in two different facts.
First, x86 hasn't directly executed x86 instructions in a very long time.
Second, Rosetta 2.
ISA doesn't matter. Logic matters. Cache matters. Branch prediction and speculative execution matter. Buffers matter. Instruction reordering matters. Node size and packaging matter. SIMD matters for some workloads. Etc.
...my fingers are fat and 99% of my posts are from a cell phone. I should proof read more but I'm a lazy piece of shit who shits out shit opinions in between compilations/cicd tests, as my comment history can attest to.
I should probably be a better netizen, along with many other aspects I should improve on (of
which man, I'm trying to improve a bunch, I freely admit I as a human need some work)
(Also lol my phone initially auto corrected or more likely my fingers originally typed fat ->far)
Not every time. In my current place the cable is stapled directly to the studs so it would require gutting basically everything to replace all of it. Luckily most of the runs go to places that make sense but I’ll never be able to upgrade from CAT5e.
That’s how my house is as well. The builder used CAT5 for all of the phone runs. Fortunately it’s a one story with easy attic access. I’ve rerouted many of them to a closet (the originally all terminated outside near the electrical panel) and ran a few more by drilling through top plates in the attic. I don’t have jacks everywhere I’d want, and most of the cable is CAT5, but it generally hasn’t been an issue. Most of the lines seem to support gigabit speeds.
In my previous house an upstairs leak resulted in a downstairs ceiling coming down which was a boon for wiring up most of the house and adding in ceiling speakers and can lights.
In some jurisdictions, every wall will have a horizontal 2x4 about half-way down the wall. Drilling through the top-plate will get you started, but you'll need a special 4' long drill-bit to make the second hole you need in that 2x4. It's kind of fun to drill with such a long bit.
Yup! In fact Meta’s implementation is open sourced as Sapling SCM and includes both Mercurial and Git support[1]. Internally the main repository use Mercurial although I believe a few legacy projects still use git.
From the documentation, it seems like there is 0 mercurial support. It's its own separate version control system that diverged years ago. You can either use the sapling scm client or git.
Literally not how things work. The last time states tried to secede a little thing called the Civil War happened and we determined that no, actually you can’t just leave the US whenever you feel like it.
There is nothing in the constitution that says states can't secede. Just because some people in the 1800s went to war over it doesn't mean people in 2100's have to kill each other. Peaceful secession is always an option.
Are we looking at the same data? Cuz I see the temperature going up around 5ish degrees since the 60s and almost no rainfall the last few years according to your link. I’m on mobile so I can’t see exact numbers but it’s definitely noticeable.
