You are wrong. https://img.purch.com/o/aHR0cD... Ryzen 1700 uses 35W less than a 7700k and 1800X uses 25W more. In gaming a Ryzen uses around 15% less which is typically the upper end how much slower it is in games compared to a 7700k. E.g. it is as efficient (games) or tons more efficient (when all cores can be used) than a Intel i7
Intel however is certainly ignoring their own power envelope with their factory overclocked CPU and from all news, their Skylake-X are worse, even the low end chips, in their mad dash to beat AMD. I doubt this will change with Threadripper which uses the same dies as Ryzen.
It doesn't matter if it's AMD or Intel: they always ignore your mythical "power envelope", especially when they are behind like Intel now and AMD before or when they have to press out the last bit of performance from an aging architecture like Intel now or AMD with the 9590.
No, NASA is very sane and totally right to use nuclear power for this use case. Nuclear power for earth side, widespread usage is utter lunacy due to the eternal waste, the immense costs and lastly the inherent incalculable dangers. Idiocy like thorium reactors and reprocessing are insane, not this.
For a small bootstrap colony or a science station on mars, nuclear power is by far the best option right now: proven and fairly reliable, small (think reactors from subs), easy to transport and set up (you have to insert the fuel rods on mars, transporting a mostly inert reactor). These small reactors are then used to build the infrastructure and bootstrap industry on mars so they can produce their own industrial base with solar power cells or hopefully fusion power or whatever else one can use on mars.
So as long as the nuclear reactors are limited in power and numbers, this is the exactly right solution until fusion reactors are possible.
This time it does: it encrypts the main memory. So in the DRAM only encrypted data is stored. It gets decrypted on the fly, transparently when loaded into the CPU, so there is no special support needed by the OS or any software. This does increase latency of course.
This encryption can also be used to encrypt VMs running on the CPU, where every VM has a different randomly created AES key, isolating VMs from each other.
The old Microsoft was backwards compatible to old software. Yes it was hard, yes it meant to support shitty old protocols like SMB v1, but they did it, and lots of stuff worked, just worked together, Microsoft code that actually worked!
When they disable SMB v1, one cannot put XP or anything before it in the same network as a current Windows to share files. E.g. a XP VM for some old scanner or printer that you can still use via VM and the current host OS can access.
Sure.... How do you find it, who pays for channel distribution (broadcast or hosting for electronic media)
broadcast is actually free: so called "free TV". In fact it even makes much more money via ads than it costs to distribute this way: those freeTV channels pay money for the right to distribute it and earn a profit themselves on top of that. Infringing Internet distribution is paid by the infringers: they store it on their own media and use their own bandiwith to distribute. So no money needed either there.
, who pays for storage and display (physical media)?
Same. See above: the copyright infringers do that themselves and are happy about it.
How does the artist eat, pay rent, afford school fees for their kids, etc.? Money is required to function in the economy, and artists are not exempted from that requirement.
Question: how did the painting caveman eat? How did Shakespeare eat? Both created lots of art before any form of copyright. I think Shakespeare didn't have kids, instead he had a whole acting troupe to feed. No school fees but feeding them all might be worse than schooling the statistical 2,1 kids we have today. Especially when school education is free in all reasonable countries.
Netflix was the company who paid the ISPs so they wouldn't throttle them. For years. Netflix is the other part of the net neutrality violators: the one that pays the money for preferred treatment of packets. The ISPs are the sellers of this. Violation of net neutrality cannot happen without both, and netflix being as big as it is, and being the first guys who paifd, made sure that violation of net neutrality will forever be thought of as a great business move by all ISPs.
So netflix is slightly less evil than the ISPs which basically shook down netflix, but still very very evil.
So if they would have automated all this (deleted torrents without tracker) or let it be purely crowdsourced by the users (tagging), etc. In short, made a site which doesn't do manual intervention by admins, then it would be legal? Or would the court find another convoluted reasoning to end up with a judgment they want?
To get a job with actual AI (aka machine learning, it's not really AI or if it is only a very narrow part of it) you'd need to have started already in college and then done your master thesis or Phd about something in this area: pattern recognition, genetic algorithms, neuronal programming, whatever your chosen field would be. There are no jobs in AI actually, at least not a lot of them. There will be the aforementioned people who do the heavy lifting but they are part of a few small teams in mostly big companies and few small ones, many of them then bought out by the big ones resulting in a few small teams at big companies.
There will be many many sharecropper jobs where one writes stuff for some AI platform by the big companies. E.g. something that adds an interface to website or service X to the AI platform Y's API so Y's and X's customers can use the platform with their cool AI toy. Or many guys massaging geodata, placing of roadblocks of varius kinds etc into the databases for the so called "self driving cars" which are anything but self driving, etc. Those are not "AI jobs" however, they are pure McJobs without anything special, same sort of monkey webprogrammer like before. At most you need to know what JSON, XMLRPC or whatever the API uses ist.
The whole point of "AI" is to not needing many people doing the jobs. If you do want a job, create something with this buzzword "AI" aka machine learning, start whatever you want yourself and get totally obsessive about it 36h a day. That's about the only chance to break in from such an outsider position as you seem to be right now.
It's Microsoft. This ComputeCard itself is just a typical Intel Techdemo: mostly useless and overpriced. The real job is for Microsoft alone: it's possible to build a Windows Phone which is a Windows Phone when mobile and an actual real, 100% Wintel
Desktop PC with Office, Active Directory, legacy programs from the 90s, etc. when in a dock. Of course they have to kick useless bullshit like "windows store only" concepts to the curb. This is tech which would allow Microsoft to build a real Surfacephone with Hyper-V: one VM has the Phone with Windows Mobile, the other VM has a real Windows 10 when you are docked and have a real 27" Display and a mouse.
As always, the Microsoft executives and CEO are too stupid when an opportunity is handed on a silver platter.
Seems we have less obvious crapflooders but even more imbecile, juvenile teenage boys nowadays on/.
This is, if it ever is implemented, braves the FDA, etc, a real revolution for medicine. All kinds of stuff like pacemakers, implanted insulin pumps simply need this yesterday.
However it also is the first and most important step to make cyborgs out of humans. All that new cool cyborg tech the Pentagon wants to create its super soldiers needs power to operate and regular surgical procedures simply for changing the battery would really kill that concept immediately. As always, a dual use technology.
Yes. The same way the key to open and free roads ist the power of the government to make laws how everyone can use said roads.
Both, internet and roads, are essential infrastructure for society to actually work and therefore cannot be left in the hands of private interests. So even if either of them are (partially) privatized, one still needs very strict laws and regulations.
I know of drug and bomb sniffing dogs, I don't know of any drug or bomb sniffing humans.
Maybe we have as much processing hardware dedicated to smell as dogs, but we still don't do it as well as them. Maybe our sensors in the nose are worse, maybe our software running on that processing hardware is inferior. The end result ist: dogs do it better.
This is no nuclear facility you can "improve", which you can make better in any way: it's a waste dump of highly toxic, highly volatile materials. These exist and transmutation of them is a bullshit theory of people too stupid for physics (meaning it is damn expensive in research and then energy to transmute, so expensive it's a pipedream one stop below a perpetuum mobile).
This is one of many waste dumps around Hanford that you have to watch over for a few tens of thousands of years. Now think what happens in 12.000 AD: does anyone then even know that there might be a radioactive waste dump in the area when such a hole opens?
Your phone has a shitty recognition rate, especially when it's in your pocket as it normally is when not directly used. This thing has an array if microphones, not just a single one, with some DSPs so it can record your voice much much better for the voice recognition.
With this array of mics, the "computer, lights 20%" from Star Trek TNG is possible, with your phone it is not.
I don't see how this Echo thing is any creepier than the smartphones, with mics and front-facing cameras and touch screens, that we all carry around all the time.
If Echo creeps you out, your smartphone should be giving you nightmares.
Even with Smartphones and the Google/Siri/Cortana assistants (mine is rooted, without any assistant and with the last version of CM, Lineage one of these days), I don't know of any instance where Smartphone voice data from them, or video have been subpoenaed by murder investigations. Echo is a lot younger and I already do.
These assistants would be awesome imho if they would run purely on my own hardware, have really open APIs where everyone can write software for it without golden cages by megacorps, no "developer keys" and shit like it. Ideally fully open sourced software. Then it would be a cool thing Apart from the baseband, my phone is all this (yes I still have google play services installed, so sue me), every Android is. Echo is not.
If the banking system uses the CA Network and CAs of consumer browsers as their web of trust, to secure financial transactions, then they need to be defrauded of every single penny they have so they can go bankrupt in the next 5 minutes hopefully. We'd all be better off, seriously.
Not just a few banks or lowly consumer creditcard companies, but SWIFT itself, the system that all banks use to transfer money around the globe. Not just traffic but actual inside data. Not to mention a ton of routers inside various banks all over the middle east.
So what exactly will they do to prevent misinformation spread by the 50 US governments (federal and all 50 states)? Those are by far the worst spreaders world wide by a wide margin. Past highlights which have been all proven to be false are especially all war related news from 120 years ago up to today. Every single one of them, from "Remember the Maine!", to Gulf of Tonkin, to babies in incubators, responsibility to protect, WMDs, sarin, etc.
So how are partial shutdowns like whatsapp or twitter or youtube (bad videos which insult maximo lider) handled? And how are these youtube shutdowns vs. shutdowns for alleged terrorism, copyright infringement, etc. handled? How is a youtube shutdown for insulting some powerful asshole worse than shutting down a site for infringement or propaganda? Or even: the many year long ban of music on youtube in Germany since there was a lawsuit against youtube by GEMA? Is this a shutdown or not, is this a government action under this new bylaw of AfriNIC or not?
They go on very very thin ice here, which will be politicized in no time. They'd be utterly stupid to even consider this. But they are politicians and functionaries, so stupidity is probably an entrance requirement.
When they strike now, what do you think will air in autumn? Stuff has to be written, then shot, edited and then broadcasted. If nothing is written today, then sometime in autumn there is nothing to broadcast anymore and your summer reruns become all year reruns into summer 2018.
That's GDDR5 so it will be counted as quadpumped. In reality it's 1700MHz, slightly slower than a 170€ RX 470 right now. At the stated throughput it's 384bit wide which is fairly obvious with 12GB of RAM. 40CUs with Polaris CUs means 8 more than a RX 470, but it only has "some Polaris features", not all apparently, no real Polaris level GPU then. RX470 has 4960 GFLOPS with 1206MHz clock, so this one will be clocked at ~1150 or less to be able to reach 6000 GFLOPS (they like to add in the few GFLOPS of the CPU cores to inflate the numbers). A RX 480 you can buy off the shelf usually reaches 6000 GFLOPS too. The CPU seems to be the same higher clocked Jaguar core, same cores just with more L2 cache than before.
So: the original XBox One was a Kabini 8 Core with a DDR3 crippled Radeon 7850, the new one is a tweaked Kabini with a beefier RX 480 videocard and finally decent RAM for its purpose.

It is not. Polaris was the node size transition from 28nm to 14nm. Vega ist a supposedly totally new and better chip architecture.
