Comment Re:You can't compile for these CPUs any more (Score 1) 18

Thanks. I misunderstood what the hardware does. I saw it as "a bucket of Pentium chips on a PCIe card" but really those are just an interface to the vector units, which is what you really paid for. And I guess even if Intel crammed 80 Pentium cores onto the card, it would still be outperformed by a pair of 40-core processors designed thirty years later.

that happened long after the car replaced the horse, you ignorant shit

Rather USA later protected prosperity sources and got 1000 to one return on investment. You can't make any similar claim about EV, the overpriced toy for the wear the nails crowd, not a solution for the majority of the populace. EV aren't building our civilization and driving progress, unlike fossil fuel

Your trying to make a false smokescreen for Fauci, the reason he gave wasn't about any run on masks (and there are plenty of kinds of masks medical profession doesn't use, the P100 I use to spray paint is better than any N95)

His very words:

âoeThereâ(TM)s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When youâ(TM)re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but itâ(TM)s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences â" people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.â

Your definition of "critical thinking" seems to be whatever random thoughts make you feel good. No, you can't scientifically say surgical masks are good for walking past a room full of covid patients, there is no study proving that! Yes there are other studies with surgical masks, like Standford's in Bangledesh with 350K people (nice huge sample size) of actual face to face encounters after 8 weeks where there were 11% less covid infections than control group .... but that's not a huge 50% plus difference, is it, you'll PROBABLY still get covid in two months, wonderful.

More like living as a god in some stupid Democrat's heads.

Fauci was just a bureaucrat with no accomplishments, who managed to get his name on some papers... hilarious those papers, in which he did nothing, popped up in wikipedia after his life of utter non-accomplishment questioned. Certainly never practiced medicine nor cured any disease.

Fauci did send funding to Wuhan lab after lying about it, that is fact.

Fauci flipped flopped on covid mitigation measures, hilarious his rant about not wearing masks before flip flopping

My are you an optimist.

Credits can be money down a sewer for a boondoggle too.

Ignorant and wrong to say tax dollars have to fund something new, that's now what history showed.

The automobile replaced the horse from 1907 to 1917, without tax credits. Turns out an organism making over 15 kilos of shit and 15+ liters of urine a day is a pain in the ass. to feed, keep and clean up after.

Advancement can be done without tax dollars, for profit.

Comment Re:How does it compare to Apple Silicon? (Score 1) 26

I find it interesting the press release from ARM does not include specific numbers on core count. Instead they're talking about a "micro-architecture" for cores, which sounds like obfuscation.

That's because ARM doesn't make chips, they design architectures that OEMs license to build their own chips. The OEM can put as many cores in whatever configuration they want to on their SoC.

Here's the configuration for the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon:

Apple designs their own architectures, but still licenses the ARM ISA.
