This is a 40 year old story. Nothing has been done to curtail or lessen Microsoft's racketeering, buying politicians, putting competitors out of business, since they bought the Washington stare legislature to push their scorched earth tactics until now. So UK want's cheaper licenses for word, I guess. Same old, same old.

It's modded funny because OpenCL is all but dead for new projects. It got weighed down by industry infighting to the point that the big feature of OpenCL 3.0 in 2020 was undoing everything added to the spec after 2011.

So the idea of using OpenCL as a CUDA replacement, rather than something like ROCm or OneAPI, is funny. It's like rewriting C++ programs to use Pascal.

I get my minerals and vitamins from a daily muli-vitamin for older men, no iron. )Iron has been linked to colon cancer for people my age.) I'm really not sure what the big deal is.

You're forgetting that a LARGE percentage of Republicans think he is GOD. I wish that were an exaggeration.

Trump is the oldest serving president. When are we going to stop with the old Biden bull shit.

George Mother Fucking Clooney. I've been saying this for 12 years. Put him in a suit and talk French, and all the fascist's wives will landslide him to victory. That's is where we are right now.

I hate to tell you that "animal motion" is pretty damn good. We've had several million years to perfect it. Now the knee... that needs some work. Just not designed for longevity.

College is not a trade school. If some Colleges are transitioning to being trade schools, sure, why not. But don't confuse people by still calling it a college.

Per TFA:

These adjustments stem from Sonyâ(TM)s ongoing efforts to manage backend services and data feeds that support enhanced guide features on its Google TV-powered BRAVIA lineup.

It sounds like Sony is losing (or is not renewing) the contracts with their data brokers who providing the listing services for their TVs? In which case this is not necessarily expected, but it is par for the course.

There is no truly free source of OTA TV listings and other metadata in the US. The stations themselves do not provide this data over the air as an adjacent data stream (which is what a rational person would expect), so the only way to get listings is from third party providers such as Gracenote. Which as a technical solution works, but it means someone is always on the hook for paying for that service. And no one wants to pay for OTA metadata services, since the hallmark attribute of OTA TV is that it's free.

This is a problem that goes back to the earliest days of TiVo. Someone needs to pay for TV listings, but TVs and other STBs last too long; hardware manufacturers eventually tire of paying for an ever-increasing bill - it costs them money they don't get to make back if they give away the listings for free. And thus you eventually end up with required a monthly subscription just to have an OTA DVR.

The eventual death of linear TV should finally put an end to this nonsense. But until then we're all going to keep experiencing the same non-free listings issues we've had since the late 90s.

And for everyone who says they have an "open mind" on the issue, just give it up. There is no evidence of any alien craft/people/technology. EVERYTHING (that lends any credence) has been investigated with a fine comb. There is nothing that most physicists would want more than to find evidence of aliens. There is no way to keep it secret if it did exist. The US army would BROADCAST any alien technology to the world as a power play. I really don't have to argue this point; it should be obvious. JUST STAHP.

Huh. I am surprised to hear that Microsoft SQL Management Studio doesn't run. The usual problem children are either programs that are using specific x86 instructions (e.g. games with AVX2), or programs that need kernel mode drivers. MSMS doesn't fall into either of those categories.

So someone did a proof of concept on something that was obvious and actually quite trivial. So we have that now.

This is an especially bad example.

The SN850X has been rebranded multiple times as SanDisk has slowly split from Western Digital (taking all the SSDs with them). They still sell it as the SN850X, but the full model and SKU numbers have changed over the years. As a result, prices for the old models have been volatile, as some vendors treat the newer iterations as the same product while others don't. Which means that for the latter, they see the old models as an item they aren't getting more stock of, and raise prices on the remaining stock accordingly.

Oldest Model: WDBB9H0020BNC-WRSN (The original Western Digital WD_BLACK product)
Mid Model: WDS200T2XHE-00BCA0 (The WD_BLACK By SanDisk product)
Newest Model: SDSP81200TAH-000E0 (The current SanDisk product)

The SN850X has been a very long-lived product from a manufacturer who supplies their own NAND and controller, so I can see why The Verge would want to use that as a tracking point for SSD prices. But the brand/SKU changes make it a poor choice. Samsung's drives are probably a better point of comparison here.

France has been doing this since the 80s whenever they are negotiating for a better price out of Microsoft. Nothing to see here.

So it's slow as fuck, with memory leaks, impossible to maintain, lacking comments, nasty race conditions, 10 times bigger than the original, uses 10 times the memory, freeze trying to open files.... you know, the coding stuff.

Let me know when we can see some head to head QA. Hey, maybe we are there. But I've not seen anything more than vague "proofs of concept." I still want to see AI produce microcode for a new undocumented chop/board. Do you read it the API like a nursery rhyme?

Or to put it another way, if it relies on samples of code to exploit, how is it going to produce NEW code?
