Re:End of the Road: An AnandTech Farewell on Friday August 30, 2024 @10:01AM (#41400819)
I remember reading their review for the Core 2 Duo E7500, which was my first foray into PCMR back in 2009 along with a GTX 260. FSB multipliers were fun!

Quite sad, we lost two of the greatest tech journalism of yesteryears, Game Informer and now Anandtech. Maximum PC barely hung on and later were boughtout by PCgamer.

I doubt anything will replace the in-depth tech journalism of Anandtech without visible paid biases and manipulation by big tech. I think Video centric media tech houses will rule the roost like Linus Media, GamerNexus and HuB.

Hoping Igors lab, chips&cheese and der8auer to carry the baton forward. I will kiss an old LGA 775 processor in their honor, rest in circuits.

Does this mean we can aggressively volt mod, add/replace memory modules to our liking?

Ask HN: What extent can LLMs be used to simulate the operation of silicon chips?

If they are complex enough, can they simulate data handling and manipulation, for e.g. amplifying a soundtrack while the conventional norm would be to run the audio track through a set of hardware devices for amplification.I have also read instances where LLMs are used as eyes and render the environment on a virtual canvas as they "see it", they are simulating the operations of a complex...

Re:Flowblade: Open-Source Video Editor on Wednesday January 17, 2024 @02:01AM (#39024225)
How does this compare to shotcut, because most video editors are just unintuitive unless you know the layout of timeframes and the separate frame windows. Why cant we have a single film strip where we can trim and splice videos with ease.
Re:Single-Electron Transistor on Monday September 04, 2023 @01:28PM (#37382716)
A single-electron transistor (SET) is a sensitive electronic device based on the Coulomb blockade effect. In this device the electrons flow through a tunnel junction between source/drain to a quantum dot (conductive island). Moreover, the electrical potential of the island can be tuned by a third electrode, known as the gate, which is capacitively coupled to the island. The conductive island is sandwiched between two tunnel junctions modeled by capacitors.

So does the same follow guns? [shooting a projectile from a distance to its intended target with accuracy] In a MadMax like future, guns/making ammunition is worthy for not being a blood bag?

wait, don't the USAF claim they haven't lost a single SR-71 ever? or is that caveat "haven't lost during combat"?
Try Azuqua, I was their remote employee when they were raising their series C, albeit I wasn't cut out to handle their amazing product at the time when I was just fresh out of college, so we later parted ways. They were acquired by Okta, so I don't know their status now, but you could have a call with their sales team and work out a decent pricing or custom APIs for your product needs. https://azuqua.com/

Re:Making The World's Most Detailed Print Maps on Tuesday July 27, 2021 @12:56AM (#27968793)
I have a controversial question for you... let's say I order a map of India from India, would you give me a map with all the sections of the country intact (Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh) or would you give us a china approved section of India without Kashmir or bits of the east (like how google serves its maps)?

How do you manage to withhold or incorporate sketchy borders with geopolitical issues, or do you refrain from serving such locations altogether to avoid any backlash?

I came across this for the first time in Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift, when Takashi's yakuza uncle would quote this
Critically useful OSS has the same effect as giving someone water, people don't think where the water was sourced or what were the difficulties in sourcing said water to reach them and quench their thirst, they only think about their thirst being quenched; OSS has such altruistic contributors who chose to lend humanity a hand, but humanity just wants to be lent a hand and not care what that hand had to go through to give them these digital delights. Those useful lives of people that have been used to create such amazing wonders of software without any economical motives. Sad to see that we have created this scenario for our selves, by rewarding selfishness and laziness will only yield more selfishness and laziness, see: e-commerce, tinder or any digital service which starts off as a service to ease our burden, will only eventually push the benchmark of how much burden can be eased collectively,soon pushing us to be connected to machines and making them simulate a reality of our choosing so that we all be kings and queens in our own not-so-tiny simulated universe. Thank you for indulging my weird tangents of thought, I wish you all great health in these trying times.

It was 2001, programming using LOGO with a 5 1/2" floppy disk. I was playing with FD 50, RD 30 etc. and went crazy with all repeat statements, to made a CD like image with a hollow circle in the center, but I saw my teacher make complex flowers and curves using LOGO, so mesmerizing as a kid
I believe they are chopping some segments within Intel to strategically play the next coming months with the release of their dedicated DX2 GPU (400-600$)by outsourcing its fab with either TSMC or Samsung...and they'll kill that also after a year, smh team blue cant catch a break these days.

Re:Baby girl born from record-setting 27-year-old embryo on Thursday December 03, 2020 @12:31AM (#25285738)
Delaying genetic traits to the new world can have its disadvantages, as the embryo would not likely posses the genes/mutation sets required to live in the current world. 27 years is alright, but to think in terms of 500+ years, that's where they pull the ethical handbrakes on this whole thing (if anyone of our generations make it that far). However, this should pave way for men and women to delay having kids and save that decision for the future.

IMO there should be a personal gene bank for men and women on the Moon or the Antarctic, so they can save on cryogenic costs, it's tricky as it is the success rates are really slim, 'A New hope' or 'The last Jedi' scenario awaits
