Or a circle template (rectangular with holes of different sizes). That would aid drawing the small circles, as well as drawing straight edges and right angles. It can be kept in a notebook like a bookmark.

No, maybe you're thinking of Intel Lunar Lake.

If the renewably sourced power is purchased from big hydroelectric dams, the institutional price might depend on how full the reservoirs are. Power costs might be higher in drier years.

Note that "The benchmark data shown above were computed with Julia v1.0.0" (2018)

Complain to website owners about sites that don't work on Firefox. Try to provide detailed steps to reproduce the error, detailed error messages from the console (control meta J), and screenshots.

I think Firefox enforces some security constraints more strictly than Chrome. One error I've seen often has been blocked resources due to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing without the proper permissions, such as via Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers.

For security related errors, I emphasize that this is a potential security issue and I use FireFox for its security.

Recently rumored: impending AMD layoffs in China, in the Radeon Technology Group.

Speculation: Maybe RTG is moving development elsewhere due to increasing US restrictions that block sending high-end GPUs and HPC accelerators to China. And/or increasing competition for expert employees, with Chinese domestic GPU chip companies that are receiving government grants. (Implies next generation Radeon may be slower to develop as new GPU software teams might have less experience. New teams might be difficult to motivate to learn intricacies of waning GCN GPU generations as well as current RDNA GPU generations, even though CDNA accelerators are similar to GCN.)

Freight trains have been getting longer to save labor. Tight schedules encourage skipping the effort to rebalance the train in a safer car ordering. When braking, a long line of heavy cars at the back can push empty cars at the front off the tracks. https://www.propublica.org/article/train-derailment-long-tra...

Do you have very large hands or a narrow keyboard? On a normal 85-key "75% keyboard", I cannot reach the up-arrow key with my pinky while the rest of my fingers are on the home keys.

I've had similar cursor problems with those keyboards that have page-up and page-dn next to the up-arrow key. Just a little finger displacement when trying to left-arrow and the cursor is suddenly inserting my subsequent typed text far from the intended location.

Maybe you mean an 85-key "75% keyboard". It's a popular request on the frame.work community discussion of "The keyboard".

On keyboard layouts like Framework's, I still have trouble trying to touch-type the right control key with my ring finger-nail. I prefer a "75% keyboard" with an navigation/editing column which provides room for the right ctrl key further right. (And full size arrow keys. And makes shift-End easy for selecting rest of line.)

Maybe we can hope a Kickstarter keyboard maker will make a Framework version in a few years. Main limitation is the thinness, only 3.7mm.

AMD Blog: "Our AMD Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 21.12.1 or Radeon PRO Software for Enterprise 21.Q4 (or newer) drivers are required to use Cycles in Blender 3.0. Support is currently validated on AMD Radeon PRO W6800 and AMD Radeon RX 6000 series desktop GPUs and enabled on other AMD RDNA™ and AMD RDNA 2 architecture graphics cards." https://community.amd.com/t5/radeon-pro-graphics/blender-3-0...

Maybe the issue raised is that libraries/APIs that define an ABI (Application Binary Interface) can be used from multiple programming languages that share calling conventions. So a question is about how Julialang libraries can be called from other programming languages. The "Embedding Julia" chapter of the manual says that from C there is an interface layer to lookup function objects, box parameters, and call.

1. What widespread laptop applications need 20+ GB of random access memory? With the low latency of PCIe storage, virtual memory could cover the non-random access cases like editing UHD or DCI-4K videos, or data mining large datasets.

2. Apple might be looking forward to future generation processors, which might add on-package memory with lower power and faster bandwidth. If that on-package memory is limited to 16GB, then Apple could be preparing its software ecosystem to deal with a similar 16GB memory window and latency/power cliff, thus saving power and boosting the battery life in the next generation to come.
