Yeah, about every other time I use it... it crashes at some point... also intellisense crashes after a few minutes and quits working untill I restart VS.. I'm running VS 2012 with no plugins being used.
Libre/OpenOffce perhaps, GIMP for sure, and KiCAD a little... but they aren't that bad. I have used very expensive software that was no better... OrCAD for instance (whatever it is called now, Xilinx's toolcina etc..Visual Studio crashes on a whim...
Not a large inverter... at least 50-100 giant inverters, or many more smaller ones.
While there may be a larger one now back in 2012 the largest was 1.4MW. Thankfully, you don't need a single inverter.. you can just operate a bunch of inverters in parallel because that is how a power grid works anyway.
Also, I imagine each battery bank has it's own inverter... just to cut losses and cost of that much DC power having to travel any distance at all.
I was just referring to the architectural complexity they have demonstrated... I don't think anyone is going to make 8086 compatibles.
IF they were going to make a CISC chip though... the 68k wouldn't be too bad... about twice as many transistors as a 8086 and much nicer. The 68010 with included MMU would even run Unix back in the day... and was fast enough to self host essentially even at 10Mhz. One of those running at 20Ghz wouldn't actually be all that bad.
Personally I think a compressed instruction set + risc backend is the best bet for speed. Basically take what x86 currently does and run with it... designing an instruction set to explicitly be dense... then keep a decoded cache of the actual program.
Yep, and one way to get around this is superconducting computers.... which DARPA is investigating. You can get circuits operaiting in the tens of GHz easily however, getting ALUS + RAM + Mass storage and IO all working together at those speeds and temperatures is an enormous challenge.
But once they do get there... it will be a matter of scaling it up from the approximately 8086 design complexity level it is at now. It might be a bit funny waiting on your CPU to reach running temp before it can boot up as well...
It isn't as far fetched as you might think.. I work for a company that builds sorting equipment. Ours is some of the nicest and gentlest to packages out there... as well as being very quiet.
However, I've also heard of literal high speed box slappers, pneumatic box throwers and even on our systems a box can get "eaten"... though we design our systems to minimize this unlike some others. Thankfully the industry is moving away from that and toward systems like we make or like those Amazon uses (which is solving the problem from the other end that us) Sometimes sortation systems are used to sort items they were not originally designed for (sorting boxes on a sorter designed for poly bags or vice versa) as well... and this leads to nightmares of 100+ packages crashed into each other and destroyed but that is down to mismanagement honestly.
In the end if you want a good sorter... you have to buy one that has thought put into it instead of being a cookie cutter system. And the place I work is only company in the US that makes them (everyone else is German or Japanese). If you go with the German or Japanese systems you are going to get a either a cookie cutter system or a giant erector set... both of which have problems of thier own versus a high quality engineered solution.
Your senses themselves are in of themselves a sort of firewall or floodgate... however you want to think of it.
What Elon suggests is direct brain-digital interface.. unfettered, such an interface could theoretically bash your brain into whatever it wants... we drive our senses but what happens when the steering wheel isn't in our hands but controlled by the machine.
Sure whatever... maybe I've just mentally blocked Opera as an option.. old Opera was great and ridiculously fast/efficient. New opera is merely what chrome should be...
Ghostery is effectively a wrapper around the default browser as far as I can tell... which means you'll be browsing with an old out of date browser on most phones.
I certainly doubt they built a browser that doesn't use the built in webkit in under 2.5Mb.
So in that sense no... it isn't a "real browser" in the same sense that Opera Current/Vivaldi aren't real browsers... they're just skins on the built in or bundled webkit... if it bundled a recent webkit ala Chrome it wouldn't be so bad but it doesn't look like that is what they do.
You mean like my Xperia Mini Pro used to be... it still works it has just been left in the dust RAM/CPU/Storage wise... even had a very nice Qwerty keyboard.
gEDA... I'm pretty sure the consensus is it isn't even the best Open source and Free tool... KiCAD probably has that title these days.
It has actually improved a lot of the parts of gEDA that were bad... not that they are the best on KiCAD yet but certainly from what I understand not bad like gEDA which was never seen as a competitor to Eagle... unlike KiCAD which acutally has people that use it because the like it and not just because it is free.
There are difference costs to entry into using software.. sometimes it is $ and sometimes it is complexity, KiCAD is as free as gEDA but reduces some of the latter. What is the point of developing Free software if in the end the net cost of using it is extremely high.
The Neural net stuff isn't entirely new... its been used for awhile for branch prediction apparently.
Now it could be that using it for larger scale cache prediction is new... brach prediction alone just means you can start executing that branch however the data might get thrown away if it was a misspredict. Whereas cache prediction is likely looking a bit farther ahead... and in the past it was rather simplistic oh you just requested X1... lets get X2-4 as well and queue up Y1-4 as well or something of that nature.
That would be Atmel-Microchip... seriously though that is a solved problem.
Just about anybody can build a satellite. NOAA has alot of smart brains, they'll carry on just as they always have. And some wasted funding going to NASA will be eliminated.

I'm considering the 2nd option once my work computer gets upgraded... not bothered enough for the first option.

I did say carry on...
Possibly, and that is why you should pack things like this double boxed.. and label the inner box as well.
Such as buying a plane ticket and putting them in your carry on... as a bonus you get a nice visit to the scenic USA :P

You don't *have to* accept anything... you can and should sometimes try to come up with alternative theories...that explain things better.
... but one is more elegant, or less complex etc...
Sometimes 2 ore more theories may explain the data equally well
Sounds like you are volunteering...
Sure whatever... maybe I've just mentally blocked Opera as an option.. old Opera was great and ridiculously fast/efficient. New opera is merely what chrome should be...
If that is the case perhaps I should have said ... the only browser that lets me run extensions on android.
Because I don't have root... good tip though. I'm looking to get a rootable phone next time.

At blocking ads on my phone. No other mobile browser allows this. In fact many firefox extensions run in the mobile version...

Higher compression produces more not less NOx

AMD is about to shove a ton of Ryzen down Intel's gullet ... so in a sense Ryzen is "ricin" to Intel.
I agree with you on that one. But then again we're probably in the minority here.
That would be Atmel-Microchip... seriously though that is a solved problem.
