    Browsing separate tabs really shouldn't be taking cpu at all. Haven't looked at Firefox's source but I will typically have a hundred plus tabs open and notice very little draw on my cpu resource. Right now it's pulling 5.1% on a quad core cpu with a guess at around a 100 tabs open and and at least 5 that are interactive. Streaming once again suspect the optimum use of the dollars is buying a higher end graphics card.

    You have an application that can support fine grained parallelism , why run it on 18 cores of X86 when you run it on 1500 cores off a graphics card ?

    Because a graphics card is not just 375 traditional CPUs jammed into a single package and just because something can scale to 18 cores doesn't mean it would run better on 1500 GPU cores.

    You really have a desperate need to learn how to read or at least learn what the relevant terminology actually means.

    Unless your desktop is doing something that parallelizes really well

    I thought I was pretty clear saying that. Just how much of a performance boost is your web browser going to get from extra cores when it should just stop running scripts/vidoes in windows/tabs that don't have focus ? or for that matter your word processor or video game ?

    Chores like raytracing, video transcoding and export, photo editing filters, science applications, and web-servers generally like this kind of processor

    Well ray tracing is almost certainly better handled by a GPU these days, same for video transcoding. Web Server that needs parallelism is a server application not a desktop application. Some science applications certainly but if they parallelize easily and well then it's back to the GPU architectures once again.

    Sounds about right. I am sure it would be the cat's pajamas at simulating a small network of processors and testing your program on them.

  8. Oh yes you did. It's perfectly clear that when you say NAZI you mean anyone you dislike.

    Hell you didn't even include an axis for legitimacy/illegitimacy of nation states which is the only axis they have in common with any American conservative thought.

    On every other question you can think of they are well aligned with the left.
    1. Is it ok to kill children: Left yes, NAZIs Yes
    2. Is eugenics acceptable : Left yes NAZIS yes
    3. Should the state dictate the economy : Left Yes , NAZIS Yes
    4. Is having an upopular opinion enough to take violent action against someone: Left Yes NAZIs Yes
    5. Should the state insure citizens have employment and are provided for for life: Left Yes, NAZIs Yes
    6. Should the Entrepeneurial Class have it's gains limited : Left Yes, NAZIs Yes
    7 Should the state act as a parent to the people : Left Yes, NAZIs Yes
    8 Here's a real big one, should precedent and cannons of justice bow to immediate needs of the state: Left Yes, NAZIs Yes

    The list goes on and on and on.
    The only difference is the NAZIs were NATIONAL socialists and the Communists were INTERNATIONAL socialists.

    For almost all desktop use.

    Unless your desktop is doing something that parallelizes really well you probably will never notice the benefits of this.
    Even things that benefit from parallel processing are far better served by running them on truly parallel architectures. You have an application that can support fine grained parallelism, why run it on 18 cores of X86 when you run it on 1500 cores off a graphics card ?

    Libertarian = Right Wing because they believe in law, and property rights, and the individual right to discriminat
    NAZI = Right wing because they believe in the order and inequality

    So Libertarian = NAZI

    And if you think their views on economy are the main defining feature of Nazis, you are willfully ignorant.

    No the defining feature of NAZIism was totalitarianism the state controlling all aspects of life, the same as it is for socialists and communists.

    Add in some propaganda machine's, ranging from populists to anti-populists, and more and more people realizing this is all propaganda. Why is it so hard to deal with fake news? Because the line between fake news and propaganda is blurring. And the civilian? Can choose between getting brainwashed or become cynical.

    Well put only issue is that the line isn't blurring, it's that people are finally starting to have enough information they can see there never was any line.

    Expect this to be eliminated or subtly fudged, maybe a new number like "Validated Followers", something mostly useless for people to negotiate with.

    Much of the stagnation in wages over the last few decades has been because of too much consumption, too much debt, too little savings, and too little capital investment, which has been worsened by declining workforce participation. Wage stagnation has NOT happened in countries with high rates of savings and investment.

    Err no. The overwhelming cause of the stagnation of wages over the past 40+ years is allowing an unlimited amount of legal and illegal immigration of people willing to work for slave wages.
