  1. Re: The Browser is now the desktop on Changes in WebAssembly Could Render Meltdown and Spectre Browser Patches Useless (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Speculative execution has been a mainstay of both RISC and CISC cpu designs since the 80â(TM)s. Intel were one of the last CPU producers to implement speculative execution. IBM power chips, sun sparc chips, Motorola 16k chips, they all had speculative execution 10-20 years before intel introduced it in the pentium pro.

    Seriously? RISC was supposed to be simple originally. It used to be pipelined, but speculated? Pentium Pro came out in 1995. You're claiming that POWER, SPARC and 68k had this in 1985 at the latest? Well, let's check the facts: SPARC was first released in 1987, POWER1 came out in 1990, in 1985, Motorola had the 68020. Only the 88110 introduced speculation in 1991

    Stop. Lying.

    Wrong, 100 GW of solar power at about 20% capacity factor is about 6.3e17 joules of annual output, which is about 2% of 775 Mtoe = ~3.25e19 joules.

    and have you eve considered how many more additional opcodes are required to run to emulate one single opcode for different architecture

    That greatly depends on the similarity of the two architectures and the cleverness of the dynamic translator, so it's impossible to make a blanket statement.

    My phone has a Snapdragon 850 with 4x1.5GHz + 4x2GHz cores, 3 gigs of RAM, and 128 gigs of eMMC SSD. Frankly, Acrobat Viewer runs faster on an ancient, creaky 15 year old Compaq Armada m700 with 500mhz Pentium III, 512mb, and a noname PATA SSD from China (that probabiy has microSD cards hand-soldered to an ASIC inside) than it does on my phone.

    And your phone and the PC are otherwise running the same OS?

    Not necessarily. True, a high quality implementation is going to be large because quality emulators are compilers, but there might be great demand for x86-on-ARM emulators and therefore a correspondingly large funding for those efforts.

    No they are limitations of display.

    But there's no "display" in self-driving car's "brain". Only an FP framebuffer which doesn't have these limitations.

    Also you want to capture realtime video in HDR with almost no compression?

    You're *not* trying to store it so it's irrelevant what a dashcam can or cannot do. (Your brain is not trying to store it either after all.)

  14. Years before Tesla was an idea, there were already small networks of hydrogen fuel stations in some places in Europe and in United States.

    And they still are...small, that is. Mostly because hydrogen is either an either failed or at least very premature technological bet from the investors. Picking the right stuff to do is very important.
