Re:Forbidden planet: was Pluto's 2006 demotion a big mistake? on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @10:15AM (#49522322)
Okay, so Pluto should be a planet, but then are you fighting for planetary classification of Ceres? Eris? Haumea, Makemake, Gonggong? Quaoar, Orcus, Sedna, Mani, Achlys, Aya, Chiminigugua, Varda, Ixion, Goibniu, Ritona, Uno, Varuna? 2005QY182? 2002XW93? The other 200-10000 that is very likely to lurk out there?

If you aren't you are totally inconsistent and just want what you were taught in elementary school be true.

It's manufactured in Taiwan.

That's not how Unicode works, A Α and А are different characters (latin, greek, cyrillic).

It wouldn't, performance was horrible.
Re:OpenAI Leans Toward Waiting Until Next Year for IPO on Saturday June 27, 2026 @07:45AM (#48697406)
Fiber is good for a hundred years, nothing in a data center will last ten.
No it isn't, DRAM is made with a different process and those are chiplets, perfectly possible to outsource, and the only possibility really as TSMC does not make DRAM.

All animations are just wasted time while you can't properly interact with the UI, it's much better to just turn every one of them off.
Psychiatrists are useless because LLMs don't respond to drugs, psychologists are also useless because LLMs don't learn.
Ebola will never create an epidemic anywhere with a working health care system. And it's not mincing words, a few countries on a single continent is not global in any form, the WHO never said global, that's just something the nyt made up.
The flu kills 300-500k every year, and did not make the list, while absolute bullshit like Zika and Monkey pox did.
The only actually serious one on that list is Covid, and the title and the nyt are lying, they declared an international emergency, not a global one, there is no chance this spreads outside of sub-saharan Africa.

If you want to get diarrhea.

In an OoO CPU it won't even hit an execution unit because it's handled as a dependency chain break.

You could buy a 8087 for your 8086 or 8088, the 486DX just moved it on chip.
Be that as it may, carpet bombing has a specific meaning, and it's not bombing one's not on board with.
Re:RISC-V Is Sloooow on Wednesday March 11, 2026 @11:49AM (#47337188)
Aarch64 is just 15 years old, and shares pretty much nothing with 32 bit arms apart from the name.
Re:10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips on Thursday March 05, 2026 @08:05PM (#47269463)
I haven't seen a single firefox or chrome crash in months now, you should really stress-test your hardware.
That was Zen 1, the later ones don't have per chiplet memory controllers, it's all on the single IO die, and they are not NUMA for a single socket.
I assume you mean EU directives and not Belgian law, and the thing is it's incredibly hard to pass an EU directive, it needs to originate in the Commission, then pass qualified majority in the Council then pass a vote in the Parliament. Nothing without a broad consensus can get anywhere near.
Re:How Taalas "prints" LLM onto a chip? on Sunday February 22, 2026 @11:22AM (#47112269)
These are chips that become e-waste the second a better a model comes out, and nvidia is already limited by TSMC capacity.
Re:Claude's C Compiler vs. GCC on Monday February 09, 2026 @03:51AM (#46943121)
It's less impressive when you realize CCC happily compiles invalid C without emitting any errors.
Re:The AI boom is causing shortages everywhere else on Sunday February 08, 2026 @07:37AM (#46933727)
These AI optimized GPUs are criminally bad at 64bit, so no you won't use them for that.
Re:Canada slashes 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to 6% on Friday January 16, 2026 @02:36PM (#46651056)
It's a bit more than a quarter (25.6%) of the whole world's GDP, so pretty much everyone.

They are slow and memory-hungry.

Re:Cloudflare outage should not have happened on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @06:32PM (#46063526)
But it wasn't the culprit, the code could have been in anything, or could have bubbled up errors to main, and it still would have failed with for an incorrect config.

Who lost a hundred billion dollars?
Re:Cloudflare outage should not have happened on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @06:20PM (#46063435)
Was it a memory error or a data race? No. Rust only promises that those won't happen in safe Rust. What is embarrassing is trying to pin this on a specific programming language.
Re:Microsoft's lack of quality control is out of control on Monday November 10, 2025 @11:07AM (#45877273)
Skyrim on day one came out with a game breaking bug in the main quest, and it crashed a lot too. Starfield's problem is that it's a very boring procgen hell.

Mainline linux never supported 16 bit cpus.
