One benefit of hard resetting a stack, register or even a variable after each use is that it is a step towards making your code more deterministic, by setting it to a known safe state.
For some of the driver code I develop, the ability to do that in a strict manner, without a compiler overriding my design, is why I use some assembler.
What's really impressive is that in addition to the raw performance, the Pascal series is even more power efficient than Maxwell. Polaris seems to have caught up with Maxwell in terms of power efficiency, but Pascal is quite a bit ahead.
A new Nikon DSLR body with this storage would make me as a hobby photographer happy since it'd make it easier to capture RAW sequences at high resolutions.
It is egregious: The electrical specifications for PCIe only allows for 75 W max sustained power draw from a PCIe slot, and some leeway for transient spikes in power draw. AMD had a sustained power draw above even the transient spike limits.
The PCIe electrical specifications allows a card to draw 300W max, using slot+connectors to PSU
Yeah, but when the variability is so high against the same IP, just by switching browsers, and the test performed before the morning surge starts in the US, shows that it's highly flawed. And as I mentioned, moving my cursor around caused latency jitter.
It's not just because of the Sourceforge servers being unreliable, it also depends on what browser you use. With the latest Palemoon, I had 180ms latency according to SF's test, and 50Mbit/s download 60Mbit/s upload, while with Vivaldi I had 108ms latency and 79Mbit/s download, 120Mbit/s upload. With Opera, I got 120ms latency, 85Mbit/s download and 25Mbit/s upload. So, it's totally worthless as a test.
Oh, I should add: Moving my cursor during the latency test added to the latency jitter...
It's not as if we don't have that problem either, plenty of buildings built before the 50's, a fair amount of 19th century buildings, and still some even older buildings.
Depends on the structure. Sometimes, it's external conduits, sometimes they use existing conduits for telephone or TV. And sometimes, they do it the way you suggested. It's often up to the owner to decide. In rental apartment complexes etc, the local network can often belong to the entity that owns the buildings, and the ISP's just provide administration, tech support and external connectivity.
Where I live, they use the same conduit that the cable TV proiver uses, and then break out to a RJ-45 port.
Running Cat-5e or Cat-6 to each individual unit is no problem, it's the standard approach for MDUs etc here in Sweden, with one or more RJ-45's inside each unit.
He's not talking about audio, he's talking about EM, which could indeed be snooped upon via induction in cables etc, even when you couldn't snoop in on the monitor directly.
25 years ago? Try the late 70's, when multiple groups all over the world independently discovered it, one of those teams being engineers at Ericsson. The first public description of the issue was in 1985, by Wim Van Eck.
Not really, there are plenty of families that use even more.
As for what we're using the internet for? Well, it's several hours of streaming every day, including news, documentaries and educational. Often multiple HD streams going at the same time. It's gaming, with Steam, GOG etc. It's backups. It's video calls with grand parents. It's sending photos and videos back and forth with family members. It's updates for multiple OS's and applications.
AmigaOS handled PnP nicely. I'd say that AmigaOS 2.1 and 3.0 handled PnP at least as well as XP, and Linux anno 2004. Parts of that is that Commodore early on introduced a hardware manufacturer ID registry that Autoconfig, which also predates PCI configuration, could use.

AMD reference design, so AMD's fault.

If they do it like here in Sweden, it'll be strictly VLAN'd
Ewwwwww.... Such an ISP would lose customers so fast compared to an actual* fibre ISP here in Sweden.
*Under Swedish regulations, FTTC+DSL does not count as a fibre connection

You run Cat-5e or Cat-6 for Gigabit.
If anything gets named after the Alchemists Guild, it'd be something more volatile than FOOF, and it'd be called Explodium or Disintegratium...
Elements being named after locations is not exactly new, so I don't understand the submitters whining.
Terbium, Holmium, Ytterbium, Erbium, Thulium, Lutetium, Hassium... The list goes on...
Denmark is on the list, so a nordic country is represented in there. And I'm not entirely surprised by them being on the list either.

And I did mention PCI Configuration in my post, but that still needed the OS to be aware.

Then your family is extremely lightweight in its internet usage.
We're not extreme in any way by swedish standards, and we use on average ca 280GiB/month down and 80GiB/month up on the non-work VLAN.

The SGI TPU was not merely a rebadged DSP. You had multiple application specific pipelines on it for example.
Now that I check, there was also an XIO board with a TPU for the Origin/Onyx 2/Origin 200 machines
Tensor Processing Units are not new. SGI used to offer that for their Octane, aimed pretty heavily at the satellite image analysis crowd.
