The SEER rating for modern AC systems is a joke. It's a well known fact that it takes a lot more energy to de-humidify than simply bring the temperature down. So it's no wonder that with modern AC (single stage) system, having the humidity level above 60% is not uncommon. The only way to truly de-humidify to a comfortable level at the proper temperature is to have a two-stage system. But that involves a variable speed motor and a two-stage compressor to go with it. Easily north of 5 grand on up for installation as the entire heater box has to be replaced as well to accommodate the motor and controls.
I don't see the problem with this. It's not sacrificing market-share, rather opening it up to what otherwise would be a no sale. I've been to various restaurants where I much preferred dining in vs taking out, but I've done the takeout as well. For that exact same restaurant, the advantages of dining in include a hot meal, service, no cleanup, and socializing. With takeout, the food is just placed in plastic buckets or foam, isn't as appealing, but can eat when I want, how long I wish, and where at home. Bonus, can watch a move and whatnot.
There are many problems that can be solved multi-threaded yet share the same memory pool. NUMA is a bitch when you're having one CPU cross over to another bank of memory located on the other side. It's why when possible you want to avoid NUMA spanning. AMD's application attempts to prevent that.
They exist on desktop processors because many business use the iGPU/APU only, yet streaming video benefits being able to decode H.264/H.265 in hardware. For the DIY gamer or Workstation build, yes, it doesn't make sense as you're going to have a GPU card installed. But via volume of new PCs sold, yes, absolutely there's a market beyond your myopic perception of the industry!
Modern OS kernels handle multi-threading better too. Because it can allocate threads to the most free cores, it substantially reduces latency. And as you've pointed out, a far more responsive user environment and experience.
There is a balance however. At a certain point (for your average user workload), there's no need to continue pouring money in additional cores. After having 4 to 8 cores, the extra money would be better thrown towards higher clock rates. For example, I'd much rather have the fastest clocked i5 over the slowest clocked i7. That's because many problems can only be calculated sequentially (non multi-threaded), and a faster clock rate will burn through those problems much faster.
there's no way we can keep up with them through mid-century.
Remains to be seen, but no one at the time could have foreseen the fall of the Soviet Union. Say what you will about China's progress, I still say it's un-democratic government will ultimately be it's undoing. Time will tell, but the US might not have to do anything to "surpass China".
The biggest part of success in rocket building is the ability to accept a failure...
This is China. Even IF it was a 100% failure, it will still be funded by their government as part of the R&D to the rest of the military industrial complex. Never forget that!
There's no need to go full-tilt graphics on requirement. VR is best with high frame rates and high resolutions. As such, I would be totally down with a new version of Starblade in flat shaded polygon joy. Or how about a VR release of The Last Starfighter? Sega's arcade of Starwars? Any retro 3d shooter "on rails" would be a killer game for VR. Bonus if multiplayer where you've got a pilot and gunner.
Guess I'm lucky. I've ran into some pretty nice oil paintings of gardens, landscapes and whatnot that were dirt cheap via a no-name artist. I would think they might be worth thousands if not more. Nope, maybe a hundred buck. Possible just 20 bucks. Anyways, you don't have to spend a lot to acquire good art. And yes, "art" is subjective. I'm pleased my tastes arn't that expensive.
But how hard do they squeeze? That is to say, could or have the Chinese government forced Apple to put backdoors into iOS to spy on other nation states?
Democrats are in favor of illegal immigration. Indentured servants to the state all too willing to climb over themselves for a free handout; it's a South American mentality. Essentially, solidified one party in power in perpetuity like the CCP is in China. People vote out of fear of the "benefits" being taken away rather then for any particular candidate.
When you let illigal immigrants in, what you're really doing is inheriting their problem that spoiled their own nations from which they left. They should be at home reforming their own countries, and that involves a revolution, so be it - NOT OUR PROBLEM!!!
Uh huh. Let me tell you, inflation is a bitch! The most fucked up thing about our economy is that it's more profitable to be in debt than hold hard currency which devalues over time. It's why property is a good investment; it's like a boat that rises with the tide (inflation). Gold and other precious metals would be a close 2nd, except the banks have won that war. Paper gold (by design) killed that market!
Not to mention that take a lot of energy to heat and form glass! Plastics OTOH are in fact stored energy in of itself, we just refuse to burn/combust them (a form of "recycling") back into useful energy for our electric grid.
It depend on the card, but with newer GPUs, the latest driver from nVidia that's WHQL was released Oct 11, 2018. However, the latest WHQL for the oldest supporting CUDA GPU (8800 series) is Dec 14, 2016. It's possible a newer version for the 8800 series was released only through Microsoft; in which case it could ostensibly over-write the latest public version direct from nVidia's website.
I'm not an expert in semiconductor fabrication. That said, if the issue with 10nm was due to incomplete fabrication tooling and/or management, that's one thing. But I fail to see how Intel will fare better with 7nm or 5nm if the problem was purely of physics. If it's the later, we might have effectively hit the wall in terms of being financially feasible.

Magic Mushrooms, Flower Power, Star dust - nope, those weren't drugs. No siree Bob!
On August 23, 2018 - Theo de Raadt with OpenBSD even recommended disabling HT in BIOS. His e-mail below.

Close this thread up. dgatwood nailed it!

Slashdot needs a new logo for AGW. How about planet Earth with a blow torch roasting it like a marshmallow?

Exactly who is the PSA aimed at? The Chinese still smoke. The additional air pollution is just bonus over there.
Since we can't control their nation, we can in fact control where products are manufactured. But no no noooo....we can't have that...
Breath in, and suffer together, for that is the world of our own making.
After their empire expansion into Asia, Africa, Middle East, and South America bankrupts them.

You know, some people love wallowing about at the bottom of a cesspit; and Twitter is that cesspit as most social media.
Nope! It must be that way so as to protect the priesthood of those that are ordained to practice the faith (law).

Not might, it would. Coca-Cola contains a fair amount of phosphoric acid.

It's my understanding that MS will only load their WHQL version if the version direct from nvidia.com is older.
