Everything that isn't single thread IPC dependent like gaming and photoshop.

They need a good launch cadence to put up 14,000 satellites in the next few years.

Even at 60 per on a fully-loaded F9 that's nearly 250 launches.

At 420 per launch it's achievable at 33 launches, or just under two years after Starship/Heavy are going.

JRTI is headed to Panama now to wind up at the Cape. Probably getting retrofitted for Starship/Heavy stack landings.

I'd say it's more that bulldozer was a wrong tool for the market at the time. In that architecture, it was a conscious decision on part of AMD to sacrifice IPC for more cores. And at the time, parallelism in software for CPUs was still in its infancy on desktop side. It was just a wrong design choice.

Today's software market with much better multithreading optimization across the board works a whole lot better on "lower IPC, more cores" parts.

What I found amusing is that a tech article found it necessary to explain what 79% is:

I'm disappointed in the direction Slashdot comments have gone over the years but there is only so much the Slashdot editors can do working today's "high tech" articles.They have my sympathy.

That's a whole other can of worms. Photoshop for example still performs far better on Intel than AMD CPUs. Yes, this includes the new ryzen 3xxx parts.

Current situation is mostly "are you looking for a CPU for gaming or photoshop only? Intel is your choice. For everything else, get AMD".

But I don't think this is so much on Intel as lack of resources on AMD's side. Intel has a dedicated team that works with software vendors to optimize their software for Intel's CPUs, and that team is wildly more successful than AMD's. And yes, that includes the anti-competitive BS like "make it work like crap on competitor's part", but it's mostly about genuine optimization for their CPUs. AMD's software efforts in general are clearly worse than competition both on CPU and GPU side, and they really need to invest in that. This remains true from early days, to this day.

But to be fair to AMD, this has improved a lot. Back in ATI days, the drivers were so bad, that you literally had to install specific drivers if you wanted game x to work well and having wrong drivers would have everything from BSODs to just random weird glitches that were near impossible to figure out, so you just tried other versions of drivers to see what would work. And I still remember having to fuck around with my K7's motherboard's bios to get some less mainstream hardware like an old PCI TV capture card back in 2000s when K7 basically destroyed everything Intel had on offer in terms of general performance, IPC etc. Software, be it optimizations or compatibility has always been the weak spot for AMD. They really should put more effort into mitigating against this.

How will I remember what my nephew's girlfriends' dog looks like?

... it's all artificial intelligence anyway.

The water that is available has ALREADY been brought there and the demand has exceeded the supply of economically available water in some cases. Putting in a nuclear power plant to desalinate water is a VERY expensive way to irrigate land. There are other places things can grow. If we get to the point where desalination is the best available option then we are in very desperate times.

Quite possibly but not for desalination in the US.

You are aware that China has more solar capacity than the US AND is actively installing nuclear plants right now. Currently 11 are under construction. If you rip on China then you are ignorant of what is going on there. I've been to China. They are well aware of the pollution problems they have there and are working hard on them. They are trying to bring hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and they don't have the luxury of waiting for the perfect solution to be at hand.

I don't know where you are getting your numbers but that's as a general proposition. There are circumstances where solar is cheaper and circumstances where nuclear is cheaper but it is absolutely certain that nuclear is not a clear winner. It's also clear that solar is getting cheaper faster than nuclear is. Stop being a nuclear fanboi. It's an important part of the puzzle and I agree with need it to replace fossil fuel use wherever practical but it cannot and will not be the magic bullet solution. There is NO version of a fission plant either existing or in development that does not carry significant and dangerous failure modes risks including but not limited to one or more of radiation leaks, waste storage, and/or weapons proliferation. Despite a lot of smart people working on them the physics has been unyielding on these problems.

Gun safety. That's the problem.

No, so-called Republican Keven McCarthy, you insane NRA politician, video games are NOT the problem.

Right now there are TWO top news stories in American news, both about mass shootings. Actually, Japan did have a mass murder last month, but it was arson and it's still the top news story because it's so RARE. In Japan last week a top news story was the names of some of the arson victims with short biographies.

And yet the long-ago-progressive GOP wants to blame the video games. Violent video games are NOT the problem. The Japanese have LOTS of violent video games.

It's the guns, stupid. America needs gun safety and gun sanity.

Maybe the Socket 775 stuff. The previous Socket 478 ones certainly all supported floppy drives.

All in all, stacking nanosheets appears to be the best way possible to construct future transistors. Chipmakers are already confident enough in the technology to put it on their roadmaps for the very near future.

Apple released patches for its hardware against KRACK back in 2017 - first on the client side, then later on their routers. Despite discontinuing the hardware, they've pushed a few firmware updates for their base stations during the past few years.

345 acres is a bit more than a half square mile. That's a lot land just to walk around on, much less cut down the trees. The contract should have cost a lot more. Any proper engineering firm seeking federal money would have needed over a million dollars just for the site inspection alone.
This is really suspicious. What hasn't the media gotten proof of who is really behind this? It's got to be a coverup.

Not entirely sure I can follow your arguments. You seem to base your claim that C is too painful and too unproductive on the fact that you do not know a C programmer?

Chef Ramsay actually gives legitimate advice, he is one of the few celebrity chefs that is actually renowned on the basis of their proven ability in the kitchen rather than renowned for being on TV.

Few? Who among this group can't cook?

* Mario Batali
* Chris Bianco
* Heston Blumenthal
* Anthony Bourdain
* Emeril Lagasse
* Jamie Oliver
* Wolfgang Puck
* Gordon Ramsay
* Peter Reinhart
* Michael Ruhlman
* Charlie Trotter
* Alice Waters
* Marco Pierre White — trained Gordon Ramsay

90% of everything is crap, but the 10% still makes for a long list, if you eff yourself. Many of the true old-timers on that list were culled from the following article:

AMD briefly had mobile athlon 64 dual-core processors which were very good value for money, but they didn't support them very well at all (they were bad with windows, and worse with linux) and hardly anybody used them. And the original Athlon and Athlon XP processors were much better than then Intel processors for power consumption on the desktop. Intel has always had superior process technology to AMD until now, and yet AMD still had better power consumption there.

Growing up in the north has little to do with your tolerance for heat. I was born in and have spent most of my life living in the northern parts of the Midwest. I've also spent plenty of time in Florida. Yes it gets hot but it's not even close to as bad as you pretend. You're as bad as those wimps from Southern California who see a centimeter of snow or a thermometer anywhere close to freezing and break out in hives. (just teasing so relax) I understand having a preference (I sure do) but it's not like its hard to find air conditioning in Florida and there is a reason it's one of the states with the largest population. I've had a good time being out all day at Disney World or down in the Keys in the middle of summer.

That said, while I don't mind some snow and cold, I'm usually tired of "4 seasons of weather" around the middle of January when we still have 2-3 months of winter weather left. Forced to pick between tropical and arctic, I'll take tropical every time. I'd rather be on the beach than on the tundra. If winter lasted just 1-2 months I'd enjoy it a lot more than I usually do. My wife tends to prefer colder climes than I do (she'd be happy living in Alaska) so I joke that we live in the midwest so we can both be unhappy half the year.

Anyway go live in Florida for a year or two and you'll probably find it VERY uncomfortable to come back north. My sister lives in Texas and has trouble handling things when the thermometer goes south of 50F now. She's not a wimp but it's what you are used to.
