And yes, in most states/cities in the midwest tend to have that assumption, that's assumed because mass transit sucks throughout (except Chicago, which might count as north), and the only reason you'd use mass transit in these regions is because you don't have a choice, or you are extremely weird.
I don't know really. I just know several people without cars, who are constantly getting harassing calls from car insurance companies. Even telling them you don't have a car does not stop them.
Like the person I originally responded to - they aren't being forced to buy car insurance, just harassed to do so. Unlike that person, they don't actually have the option to do so (unless the also spend a lot of money on a car as well...)
That would make sense, but I was working with such a group and NONE of the commercial software exported any workload to the GPUs. Also, these days, GPUs tend to do almost as well with integer performance as FP performance, so either way, offloading is not a bad idea.
Yep. Lots of servers where I work. Lots of high-CPU-use stuff. About 30-40 different applications across the servers. The vast majority of what they do is integer math. I doubt we'd notice if the CPUs were sent with the floating point math faked by the integer side of the house in the CPU.
Mind you, another place I worked, had twice as many applications, and less than a dozen were integer intensive, and the rest were FP intensive. i.e., not everyone would need the large number of FPUs. There are different use cases, and if cutting the number of FPUs down reduces the CPU price, and the power consumption, some of us would be all over it.
Probably not. We don't say 'that there are' here in America. We would use 'than'. Come on over some time, it might help alleviate some of that burden of ignorance you have.
There are also these things called 'typos', when people make a mistake in their typing, usually because they are thinking faster than they can type.
I assume that they have 8 FPUs? I'm curious to see how they split up. Do the 6300s have a similar shared-FPU configuration?
Damn, according to AMDs site, they have a TDP of 140W and 115W. Then again, that's 8.75W/core and 7.1875W/core. At 115W, the 12 core 3300s about 9.6W/core. THe 3200s have the same thermal profile, but with slightly lower clock speeds.
The 3100s are 85W, 115W and 140W for 12 core (and don't have quite as high a clock speed).
Good numbers on the idle power would be nice too. I guess it's time to do some research.
You can, but to do so in a manner that will have a high probability of death rather than furthering injury (and hence suffering) is a trickier matter. The doctors can just make it less likely that your attempts will instead increase your suffering.
That's exactly what I'm arguing the OPs comment leads towards.
Just because one kind of messing around underground is dangerous, doesn't mean all kinds are. Fracking and this type of geothermal piping are rather different beasts.
I think the volume of ground affected by fracking is quite a bit larger than that hole being drilled into the volcano, and the goal with fracking is to mess around with the pressure under the surface, where ideally this is close a pressure neutral (volume changing, and that, I suspect will happen at/above surface level) system. Lastly, waste products from fracking tend not to be well controlled/cleaned except maybe on paper, the water (or other liquid) use here should be in a fairly closed system and shouldn't be introduced to toxic chemicals. Not that this is the wisest idea either, but an experimental site should provide interesting details as to the danger.
Your comment could similarly read as:
Stalin (who was once a baby) is horrible but other people are perfectly fine.
Yeah, I know. One is "human" the other is "a madman".
Yeah, but you have millions of chances to find both each time you are exposed - how much worse does the other way have to be to not get it as well, not just in one person, but in billions? With all the chances it has to form?
It reads to much like an impossibility or a 'bad idea' scenario to me.
Most flu strains are crossovers already. The point of this is that it will cover most of these strains. Your number (3) really is covered by my (1) and (2). These would be the most likely reasons why you would get (3).
Have you ever used one of those things? They were amazing chips for their time, especially with their bus architecture. They were great for SMP usage.
AMD and Intel managed to get ahold of a lot of the developers and IP related to these chips, and wedged it into their systems. I'd be very surprised if you still couldn't find traces of it in their systems today. I know not long after AMD got their share, their SMP performance shot up massively, and when it comes to SMP use, they are still better at it than Intel (though, their per-core lack of performance, sadly makes up for this).
So, yeah, with a die shrink, I could see these being amazing for a multi-core behemoth, and competitive with anything extant on the market right now. The only reason we don't see these today, I suspect, is because Intel got most of the IP, and used it to make the Itanium, and the wouldn't produce a competitor for their pet pink elephant.
There's probably a VERY good reason these conserved regions are not attacked by antibodies, even though it would be evolutionarily beneficial to do so. About the only good reasons are
(1) the way antibodies work, it is impossible (if that were the case, this article wouldn't be here for a few more decades - until we have better gene therapy and could change what antibodies can do) (2) targeting that site would lead to false positives on things that are more beneficial than the flu is harmful.
It also means there's no selective push against it.
The is quite possibly a good reason we don't create immunities to that target site - possibly because there are beneficial internal fauna that use similar proteins (including, possibly, phages that kill threatening bacteria), or we ourselves have something that would also be targeted.
I strongly suspect such a vaccine will have NASTY side effects. The problem is, you cannot unvaccinate.
I don't believe that it is an accurate representation, but have you seen the BBC show Survivors? I doubt it will spread like it did in that show (because I doubt we'd use such an inoculation method, or be as careless), but I could see a similarly unpleasant result to those who get vaccinated.

Did you still get harassing calls from car insurance companies?
If not, consider yourself lucky.

Here in the US it's like that with car insurance. It doesn't matter if you don't own a car...

AMD has lost performance/watt recently. These are intended as server chips (G34 socket, not AM3+).
These might bring back performance per watt, as AMDs have seemed to scale better in the the multi-CPU per box / multi-core per CPU segment recently.
I assume that they have 8 FPUs? I'm curious to see how they split up. Do the 6300s have a similar shared-FPU configuration?

It will probably be in single pill form - i.e. you can't take half of it unless you are seriously trying to screw yourself or the system.
You can, but to do so in a manner that will have a high probability of death rather than furthering injury (and hence suffering) is a trickier matter. The doctors can just make it less likely that your attempts will instead increase your suffering.
One more good reason not to stop for a smoke, eh?
Ahh, you seem to think they are mutually exclusive.
You've obviously never met my ex-girlfriend...
Yes. Probably not a bad idea. He probably wouldn't even finish his planning or organizing his wrenches (spanners) until the human race was extinct.
With a comment like that... Jeremy Clarkson could build it.
Or given his trips to the US, Hammond.
Let's hope those 'what's' don't go wrong.

OK. You can't trivially unvaccinate.
That does not sound like something I'd ever want to go through.
They are talking about creating a vaccine that would cause our antibodies to target a more conserved site.
Obviously, since they don't do that now, our antibodies aren't targeting it.
It's either impossible, or unfavorable given the other alternatives. Either way, there's probably an evolutionarily sound reason for this.
Maybe novel 80s. Pretty sure you could achieve this effect with TWM.

You probably won't get the chance.
