Um, Linus never said that SMT didn't improve performance. He just said that people who care about that level of security have already disabled it, so why make bother ruining the performance for people who don't care?
Most companies will use this kernel. Although Spectre is bad, it isn't an issue in many workloads. The vast majority of Linux servers wouldn't be affected by Spectre in reality.
If you accidentally install a kernel then I doubt you care about security. If you care about security, don't run intel, or disable Intel's insecure SMT implementation.
Moore's Law has been dead for many years now. We can only expect single digit improvements in CPU performance from now on. Of course, someone will reply with "what about quantum computers?" but those people don't even understand what quantum computers are.
It has nothing to do with the weather. The fact is the EU doesn't want to do the hard work to reduce emissions, they just like to talk and sign treaties.
No one is interested in that garbage. Kids are playing Fortnite and such which run on mobile phones and tablets. What is the point of a 4K game if the playability is crap?
That is because the online ad system is a joke. Google shows the same ads over and over and are completely irrelevant. I don't know why companies still pour money into online advertising. It isn't targeted well at all.
Transit pays for itself by keeping pollution out of your stupid lungs. People are stupid and short sighted. The problem is that automobile infrastructure in the US is subsidized and socialized.
I never understand people. What is the alternative? The same trip will cost you $20 in taxi fare, or even in your own car. Bizarre. The only cheaper alternative is a bike. Surely the alternative is to raise wages.

I never said it was CPU "speed". It is transistor density which directly maps to performance. And Moore's Law is dead.
There is no fix for Spectre, only mitigations.
How would you express performance loss? Percentage by workload is the only meaningful measure. What are you looking for?
Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that. You forgot to mention "what about quantum computers" and "but video card processors".

Thanks for the tip. Some pedant always points this out. No one cares. The end result is that CPUs have hit a dead end.
Moore's Law is dead and applies to computers based on transistors. It says nothing about "the cloud".

Virtually everything used to post your comment, from your local computer to the network to the server, was written in C++.
Because the US is the second largest manufacturer on the planet. It has nothing to do with efficient cars.

Exactly. And why did the EU emissions RISE in 2017 and is projected to rise in 2018? Apparently the EU doesn't care. https://www.reuters.com/articl...
It is pathetic that Slashdot considers Uber and Facebook "tech". They are just businesses and won't be around long.
The obvious solution is to arrest all academics from Amsterdam.

In America the vast majority of the market is decaffeinated tea.

Yeah, one of the biggest problems of my life is how can I get reservations at Dorsia on a Friday night.
Finally AI has arrived and is being put to good use: playing Chess, Go and making dinner reservations. Applause all around for the "AI researchers".
In 2018 any computer program with an algorithm is considered "AI" or "Machine Learning".
