Hardware design of a contemporary CPU is much more difficult than software design, assuming equal competence levels of both crews(However, SOOO many software developers are incompetent AND lazy, so you end up with the huge messes you mention....)
As for Centaur, they've verified small subsets, based on the Verilog, and not the actual finished hardware with varying frequencies or voltage levels etc etc.
All I see from you and the parent post is that you don't use anything really bandwidth heavy above SD streaming.
Living in a household with multiple gamers(Me, GF, 2 kids), as well as streaming instead of cable TV etc, 100/100 is the absolute minimum I'd consider now for a primary connection, not to mention the work aspects. Which is why we're happy with our 1Gbit/s symmetrical for â90/month.
The US is one of the most protectionist and jingoistic countries in the whole world, basically on par with China and Russia, rattling their swords every time someone even thinks about moving away from the dollar for international trade. There were even veiled military threats when the Euro was introduced.
The real thing here is that the US and the UK want to bring in full corporatism, which is one of the 5 pillars of fascism, and the EU does not want that crap again. We remember the horrors of company stores, company credit, companies setting national policies etc etc
It still comes down to how the PCI-E root complex is setup. There are situations where communicating over Infiniband to a different GPU in the same machine is faster than going through the root complex.
+5 Perfect Sarcasm really should be a mod option, because even after determining that it is sarcasm, I still had "... but, this is the kind of shit many OSS developers say......." going through my mind...
Everything requires training to get used to, even something as simple as knowing where to look for information. In this case, some of the bridge crew on duty were on temporary reassignment from a cruiser, which has different controls, but had not been properly trained. But the lack of training pertained to more than just the UI. Many sailors in the US Navy have not done some required qualification training etc, due to overburdening of duties and the optempo.
I wouldn't be surprised if they ran out at sea for that long. Consider, for example, patrols down and around the Falkland Islands. I know they also had talk of 9 month deployments a few years ago.
Yeah, but according to the report, after issuing the order about about reducing speed, he seems to have remained quiet, yet not handed Conn back, which leaves the crew in a confused state(or, more likely, it'll turn out to be like on the Porter recording that leaked, with massive confusion, everyone talking over each other etc).
In the Royal Navy, officers are specialized for their roles, so as a bridge officer, yes, he'd spend most of his duty time on the bridge.
And if they ran the Traditional 2 Section RN dogged watch, he'd have spent on average 36h on watch every 72 hour period. Which would give you 2160h watch hours logged.
Yeah, but as I mentioned, he didn't keep the grasp of the situation, and never handed conn back either, which causes confusion, which is part of the protocol breach.
One of the issues that has been highlighted is how little bridge watchkeeping experience US Navy officers(including CO's) can rack up in their careers, hour counts that wouldn't even qualify them as a 3rd mate on a commercial coast freighter, much less anything really big:
And from another article, published more recently:
"Mitch McGuffie, a former U.S. surface warfare officer who served in an exchange with the U.K. Royal Navy for two years as a bridge officer, said that other navies place a higher value on navigation and ship handling than Americans.
âoeI was the go-to office of the deck on my first tour, and I thought I knew a lot of stuff. And then I went to the Royal Navy and I went through their navigator school, and it was the hardest class that I have ever gone through, with a 50-percent attrition rate,â he said.
British sailors specialize in a specific discipline at sea, unlike the U.S. surface warfare officers that are generalists. As a result, narrow specialties like navigation or bridge watches maybe given short shrift.
âoePeople squeak through the system. They may be great officers and they may great engineers, but they might not have had a lot of time handling ships in busy waterways,â McGuffie told USNI News in an interview. âoeWe have guys that are commanding ships right now that have 400, 500 hours of bridge watchkeeping time in their career.â
In contrast, as the bridge officer on a Royal Navy frigate for a six-month deployment, McGuffie stood watch for more than 2,000 hours â" all of them logged."
Despite Ars Technica's single-minded view on the incident, there were multiple levels of failure, including but not limited to:
Insufficient lookouts Overcrowded bridge interior Insufficient training(What Ars Technica neglects(possibly deliberately) to mention is that parts of the crew on watch on the bridge were on temporary assignment from the cruiser Antietam, which according to the report has a different control system) Contrary to protocol, the CO issued orders, without announcing that he was taking direct control, and then didn't keep a firm grasp of the situation. Insufficient bridge watchstanding experience in general in the US Navy officer corps, partially due to the generalist nature of US Navy surface officers, rather than the specialization found in the Royal Navy for example. As highlighted by a USN officer: "âoePeople squeak through the system. They may be great officers and they may great engineers, but they might not have had a lot of time handling ships in busy waterways,â McGuffie told USNI News in an interview. âoeWe have guys that are commanding ships right now that have 400, 500 hours of bridge watchkeeping time in their career.â

The Fitzgerald was both better and worse. The OOD had 0 situational awareness, ignored technical tools such as AIS that'd have given him sufficient situational awareness, ignored warnings by the junior OOD, insufficient lookouts posted(none on starboard side), the OOD had no knowledge of the TSS(despite being based out of Yokohama!!!!), and the TSS was not mentioned in the navigation briefing.
And, as on all USN surface warfare ships, non-pilots seem to be chronically sleep-deprived.
So, you have systematic issues at multiple levels, of which the UI was just one small part
That sounds just like the FUD propaganda that was spread here in Sweden by the tobacco companies lobby groups ahead of the smoking ban in bars, restaurants etc.
What happened here instead was that the restaurant/pub/bar/hotel industry got a massive increase in trade and profitability, with more customers and less turnaround in staff.
Turns out, a LOT of people had become utterly disgusted with the fact that even if they weren't smokers themselves, they'd come home after a night out, spitting smoke-tainted saliva, everything smelling like smoke, including hair etc.
Actually, the Swedish power grid hasn't become that much cleaner, despite the build-out of more wind power, simply because we already had very few oil, gas or coal fired power plants.
Read carefully: He said that setting the pointer to NULL would be in ADDITION to zeroing the key, to reduce the risk of the key remaining in memory. Now, let's just hope the compilers don't pull any "clever" tricks to undo those measures.
AmigaOS did not support virtual memory by default until 4.0, though there were some 3rd party solutions that kinda-sorta added virtual memory functionality to Exec.
But even then, it wasn't until WinNT and 95 that Windows had anything comparative to what AmigaOS had in 1985 in terms of useful multitasking.
The foundation IS managed in accordance with the will, as upheld by Swedish law. Swedish law is incredibly strict in regards to modifying foundations after establishment, especially foundations built upon a will. The reason for that is because the potential for fraud is too great without those strict laws.
And for all those observations, you are speaking out of ignorance.
The reason the Nobel prizes are awarded as they are, is because the strictures for the foundation, as laid out in his will, were based on how science was conducted when he was alive. Those strictures are upheld by Swedish law, and are incredibly difficult to change. For the Nobel Foundation to change how they award prizes/recognize scientists would be a crime, with serious jail time.
Yes, those laws mean that we have, as a conservative estimate, over a thousand dormant foundations in Sweden, simply because the strictures laid out no longer apply to our society, and can't be changed without massive legislation changes that would in turn screw over almost everyone in Sweden, because of how it would change how wills are handled etc. The only way the Nobel Foundation could change would be if the strictures were found to be illegal when it was founded, which they weren't.
Ergo, there's not much that can be done with it. You can keep whining from your position of ignorance, or you can accept it for what it is, a legacy of a different time, and perhaps convince someone else to set aside a huge pool of money to setup a different foundation with what you perceive to be a more appropriate method of recognition.
However, I'll say this, based on my own time in Academia: Partial fault lies with academia itself, and the absolutely silly author crediting, for example. I've reprimanded 5 students I've mentored who've credited fellow students etc for such ridiculous things as handing over a bash script for batch renaming of files etc.
If you want to complain about terrorists getting it, don't forget Menachim Begin, leader of Irgun, bomber of the King David hotel, equal partner in ethnical cleansing raids against arabs together with Lehi(more commonly known as the Stern gang)
" Moving past that, why did Alfred Nobel, who was Swedish, pick the Norwegian parliament to select the committee? I don't know, and I don't believe that anyone knows for sure, but there's reasonable speculation that he did this to show respect and, perhaps, to help foster good relations between Sweden and Norway. All of the other prizes are awarded by Swedish committees."
Actually, we do know: Because at the time, Norway was part of a unilaterally forced union, after Sweden had captured it from Denmark, who had held Norway as a subject state before that. Alfred Nobel felt that the Norwegian parliament would hold to more peaceful ways than the Swedish parliament, and be less inclined to stupidity(hindsight does prove him wrong....)
64-bit is superb for desktop, being able to do various hobbies with less disk thrashing(and don't bring out that old NA geek chestnut about non-geek users just needing a browser, it's not true at all).
Look at all the non-computer geeks doing video and graphics as hobbies. Live streaming with live greenscreens and effects. Or playing games and watching movies at the same time etc etc. All things that nowadays can become almost impossible on a 32-bit system. The combination of being able to use more than 4GiB of RAM efficiently, and more general purpose registers does a lot for many non-geeks for whom the computer is just a tool for hobbies and entertainment.
The interesting thing about the study is that due to the fairly high amount of inbreeding in Iceland's native population, you can observe more clearly some aspects of mutation, but for the same reason, you can't in any objective way generalize it across other population groups
