Not being popular on this third-rate excuse of what used to be a real site is equivalent to not being popular at a Klan rally.
I take it as a badge of honor and objective evidence of my own intelligence.
But back on topic: Tell me again how much a 14-nm quad-core Gemini lake Atom is so massively inferior to these 28nm dual "coar" Bulldozer retreads in whatever fantasy world you inhabit.
Releasing a POS 28nm processing in Twenty-fucking-Nineteen and claiming they are "serious" about Chromebooks?
No. Not even close.
I find it amusing that Intel producing one model of chipset for desktop systems that happens to be on 22nm is somehow "proof" to a bunch of idiots that Intel can't manufacture silicon. The same idiots then claim that AMD dumping 28nm parts into the Chromebook market in 2019 means they are "serious" about Chromebooks. No. Just No.
"The DARPA grant will allow McCulloch and a team of collaborators from Germany and Spain to undertake a series of experiments that will apply QI in a laboratory setting for the first time."
Of course this is a whack-job fringe theory! Everybody knows that *real* physics like String Theory doesn't need experiments as long as the math is really really complicated.
TiL that properly establishing probable cause, lawfully obtaining a search warrant from a judge, and unlocking a device is PURE EVIL.
Now, if this guy had been nominated for some sort of position by Trump, getting evidence against him would have been completely unnecessary and, in fact, a blatant lack of corroborating evidence against him would be all that is needed for a conviction without a trial. But unless you are a Trump nominee, there clearly is an absolute right to privacy and all searches are always unconstitutional forever.
That's funny how those advanced Europeans who are so superior to those ignorant 'Muricans in every way seem to be stuck using stupid, non-metric, 'Murican dollars to buy those robotic lawnmowers.
Clearly those advanced products are not available to third-world non-elite 'Muricans, so why are all the prices listed in sub-standard non-Euro currency?
If I've learned one thing, it's that as long as you hate Trump you literally are a super-being of pure energy descended from a higher plane of existence and anybody who criticizes you is automatically evil fascist filth.
So given Europe's superior Trump-hating attitude, this must be a perfect law! Stop being fascists by disagreeing with people who have the politically correct anti-Trump emotional reaction!
Remember when demanding that the federal government destroy Microsoft and having every MS employee sent to a concentration camp was the ultimate proof that you were woke and therefore above all forms of criticism?!?!?
You know, because Netscape was freely available and would install and run fine on your computer but WASN'T PRELOADED AS THE DEFAULT BROWSER OMG HITLER! You know, just like how Firefox isn't pre-loaded as the default browser on a single smartphone anywhere.
If only Bill Gates had started calling Bush a Nazi, we could have all reversed ourselves and claimed that Microsoft was ABOVE THE LAW because they were standing up to Bush.
Where did Trump claim that football players should be banned from Twitter or Facebook?
Where did Trump claim that football players can't post their opinions on social media when they aren't on the clock?
There's a difference between being a consumer of a product (the NFL) and wanting the employees to act like adults who are showing respect for the country that allows them to get rich playing a kids game while they are on the clock in front of their customers vs. literally banning people from social media for having the "incorrect" views on whatever social justice topic of the day is hot.
For all the people about to scream about how he's hitler again (you're so original), not one of you would be happy if it was Commcast* *VIOLATING THE HOLY-OF-HOLIES NET NEUTRALITY* to perform the exact same censorship of the exact same people that your favored platforms have performed.
So let's cut the B.S. that all corporate censorship is fine and you're a nazi for opposing it. Even you only like corporate censorship when its the corporations on your allowed-list censoring the "correct" people that you personally don't like.
* Corporate owner of MSNBC and Rachel Maddow, BTW. So think about that before you claim that Comcast is a pro-Trump cult.
As long as you don't like Trump, literally everything else is inconsequential.
Oh, and we all know that Snowden totally heroically defected years before Trump ever even announced his candidacy to expose Trump's evil abuse of power.
Oh, it's the usual "ANYTHING THAT'S GOOD IS AUTOMATICALLY RISK AND ANYTHING I DON'T LIKE IS AUTOMATICALLY INTEL'S FAULT" reasoning that's one reason this site is dying.
Anyhoo, a *real* RISC CPU engineer hates all SIMD instructions and this guy at least has the balls to call out ARM too: https://www.sigarch.org/simd-i...
Not that I agree with his assessment, but he has intellectual honesty, which is more than can say for the usual koolaid ARM crowd around here.
We all know that AMD would dominate 5G modems and would give them away for free along with puppies to orphans if it wasn't for Intel ILLEGALLY bribing Dell to ship Pentium 4s 15 years ago!
"SVE is a flexible in terms of vector length, with maximum width of 2048 bits."
AVX can get wider too if it makes sense. The fact that an exotic purpose-built supercomputer chip that won't be in real operation until 2021 is clearly taking design cues from a 2017-era consumer-grade part that you can use to play video games kind of shows how this nonsense about "ARM" vs. "x86" doesn't mean anything in the real world.
Incidentally, for all the crap about "RISC" that gets tossed around here like a magic get-out-of-thinking-free card, anybody who actually knows what RISC actually means would tell you that any and all SIMD units violate RISC's principles.
To do this, they have replaced the SPARC64 VIIIfx CPU powering the K computer with the Arm8A-SVE (Scalable Vector Extension) 512-bit architecture that's been enhanced for supercomputer use, and which both Fujitsu and RIKEN had a hand in developing.
So the next-generation ARM miracle chip is basically copying AVX-512. Except it has noticeably fewer cores than a Knights Landing part.
ARM vs. x86: Completely fucking meaningless in this context.
For a 5,184 socket system a "Peak" performance of 2.3 Petaflops isn't that revolutionary.
I'm assuming that when they say "peak" they mean a LinPack "Rpeak" value which is usually (with a few exceptions) *higher* than the "Rmax" value that's actually used to order the systems by performance. There is no contra-indication in the story that these values are Rmax and in fact the story literally says "theoretical peak petaflops" definitely makes me think Rpeak?
For perspective, if you go way down that list to #82 you'll see the rather pedestrian Riken Energy Hokusai BigWaterfall system from last year that hits a noticeably higher 2.58 Petaflops peak and only needs 1680 sockets with rather pedestrian 20 core CPUs to do it.
Scale that system down by 10% as a rough estimate to 1512 sockets and you have a 3.4 to 1 socket advantage and 4.8 to 1 socket advantage for a rather generic commercial system from last year that isn't even using a single supercompute accelerator to get its performance.
Nice to see "Whataboutism" is alive and well and upthumbed when used against an alleged "Republican" who is a well-known supporter of Hillary. While we're playing the "whataboutism" game, how many times did Trump hypocritically defend Colin Powell? I'm pretty sure the number is zero.
But where was Powell's server exactly? Inappropriately using a non-official address is *not* equivalent to setting up an incompetently secured server in your bathroom.
How many classified emails were confirmed to have been hacked in Powell's account? Because the IG report has stated there's concrete proof at least one classified Hillary email in her server was compromised by a foreign government.

So there should be almost indistinguishable lung cancer rates between non-smokers and smokers in Europe.
Right?
Or maybe a website named "berkleyearth" that exists to promote certain political causes knows less about science than the average flat earther.

Nice talking point about "it's just a job interview."
So you are 100% publicly on-record as stating that there should be absolutely NO FBI investigation of any of the accusations against Kavanaugh.
After all, it's just a job interview.

If you agree with the Russian-led global warming agenda you are agreeing with TRUMP!
Don't do it! Trump's always wrong!

Dropping Master & Slave is an offense to Islamic cultures that regularly practice slavery right now!
Why can't we be more inclusive of Sharia law? Why are these pro-Trumpists trying to be islamophobic?!?!?

But the CIA, NSA, and FBI are our HEROES now because they hate Trumpler!
You may never NEVER question any of those agencies.

By not preventing publication of designs for completely impractical weapons Trump is clearly showing that he wants censorship just like Hitler.

Yes, and just like every good Democrat, Hitler didn't believe in borders.
Like Poland's borders, Czechoslovakia's borders, France's borders, Austria's borders, England's borders, the Soviet Union's borders etc. etc.

" I suspect the flops/watt will be a LOT better than the Xeon system you pointed out."
Not according to real-world tests of these chips: https://www.servethehome.com/c...
There's a long-held assumption that anything with the word "ARM" on it must be energy efficient because reasons. Well this isn't a smartphone SoC.
For a 5,184 socket system a "Peak" performance of 2.3 Petaflops isn't that revolutionary.

And you people hypocritically scream that Trump uses a regular cellphone to send Tweets that are intended to be public anyway.
"we still have the concept of "innocent until proven guilty""
Or in Trump's case: Guilty even after proving the crime never happened.
Because you are completely objective here.
