The new Xeon looks very good. Much higher memory bandwidth than Threadripper and +5% performance at half the power budget of previous generation Xeon, and beats both previous generation Xeon and Threadripper on real world PCIe transfer speeds.

Looks like a beast for agentic workflows and high bandwidth applications. Fast enough memory to actually run som LLMs on CPU (or more realistically, run the cold layers on CPU and hot layers on GPU). The 24 core version best the snot out of Threadrippers costing up to 5-10 times more in certain agentic workflows.

The population density in Norway is less than half of the US population density, and the distance by car from the southmost part to the northeastern end is about 1700 miles, or longer than Houston to New York. We mange fine with EVs.

Tax rate on oil production is 78%.

155 mph / 250 kph is not at all uncommon on the autobahn.

That's what they are transitioning away from. EVs are rapidly taking over the market in Iceland.

The best place for radio telescopes is on the dark side of the moon.

The intended use for the product the spec sheet is hearing aids and earbuds.

If I'm not mistaken the 386 was the last 100% deterministic x86 chip.
The 486 has a pipeline and needs to clear the pipeline on branch miss (for 486, branch taken = branch miss). In the strictest hard real-time sense it's not deterministic. (It's deterministic in the sense that the branch prediction is static and various outcomes could be predetermined based on input, but the result would arrive at different times depending on the number of branch misses).

I don't have the Canadian prices, but I have the unsubsidized Norwegian prices. Should be similar in Canada.
Wegovy 2.4 mg - 4 weeks $285
Ozempic 1 mg - 4 weeks $100

PowerShell listes under fiction. Love it.

It makes sense in applications where there's no clean alternative now or in the foreseeable future (air traffic).

It's one of the best new shows this year. You have a lot to look forward to, it just gets better.

Tesla is definitely leading the EV market in Europe.

If you could start with a full battery at each end, you'd need to take three stops to do this trip in one day, total charging time just over an hour with a Model 3 or Model S. Driving 900km you'll need a few breaks anyway, it comes down to perhaps 15-20 minutes of extra waiting. My kids usually appreciate the extra ice cream stops along the way.

Having a fully charged car every morning is one of the best selling points of EVs. No more gas stations, no more waiting.
Having to go swap batteries 2-4 times a month would put us right back to the gas station problem.

I've driven electric since 2012. I've spent less time waiting for the car to charge during those 11 years than I spent going to the gas station the last year I had a gasoline car.
