It sounds like TSMC is leaving everyone else in their dust which is great for AMD. Downside is that these factories cost so much that the barrier to entry to new players is extremely high to the point even intel are scared of building new fabs by the sounds of it. AFAIK / not an expert.
Well, look on the bright side, he's an idiot that can easily be seen through. OTOH, our politicians know exactly what insidious crap they are pulling and they are far more cunning about it, they tend to do their best to operate under the radar (UK). The EU is no better.
No, his tweets are all pure genius, he's fucking with SJWs and journo's and rubbing it in their faces that he can constantly lie with absolute impunity. If anyone calls him on it then all he has to do is lie again and he doesn't give a shit if anyone calls him on anything anyway because you know - that's just fake news right. ~
So, the pimax is doing the upscaling, I think the newest generation Nvidia would likely do a much better job of it.
It'll be a long time before a lot of games can play at 8k native with a good frame-rate especially because they'll be aiming at getting a good frame rate at 1080p and increasing visual quality at that resolution. Which is why I think it'll be up to video card manufacturers to use fancy interpolating techniques to fill the gap. Downside with Nvidia's new DLSS is it needs to be supported by each game to work and currently that = zero games. The card makers need a back-up good upscaling technique which is quick and doesn't need to have the game support it.
From what I've heard, upscaling is the best thing to do, you get the visual benefit of the smaller pixels without the problem of being underpowered for the resolution.
"Two-thirds of British people think the government should ditch the policies that have all but killed off the UK's onshore wind industry, according to a new poll.
Since new rules governing the construction of onshore turbines were introduced following the election in 2015, planning applications for new wind farms have plummeted by 94 per cent."
They actively stopped new on-shore wind farms. A very bad step.
"Fracking opponents have reacted with anger after ministers unveiled measures to help projects through the planning system in England, which campaigners said would make drilling a shale well as easy as building a conservatory.
Shale gas explorers will be able to drill test sites in England without applying for planning permission and fracking sites could be classed as nationally significant infrastructure, meaning approval would come at a national rather than local level."
Communities OTOH don't want any fracking, they know about the leaks, the use of toxic chemicals, the use of extremely large amounts of water and the earth quakes that result. The gov't has had to over-ride planning permission and write new rules to ignore earth-quakes and other environmental issues. The government is actively ignoring their own reports that warn about the dangers of fracking. Another very bad step in the wrong direction.
"And large-scale solar has been excluded from Government auctions of contracts to supply electricity to the grid for the lowest guaranteed price"
= a de facto subsidy for fossil fuels.
And the gov't has introduced a whole bunch of taxes and rules to destroy solar from rooftop solar to large scale solar. For instance, if public schools want solar panels then they would have to pay business rates - like WTF?
So, in summary lots of new rules to decimate solar and on-shore wind at the same time as new rules to make fracking easier and more tax brakes and subsidies for fossil fuels. So, what's this right step in the right direction?
It's not a step anyway, this is what the UK does went they don't want to do anything, they deflect criticism and say we're studying it, we're commissioning a report, which is nice for their think-tank friends who they pay millions for some report to get mostly written by some intern, whilst their school friend chum pockets some nice wedge, nudge nudge wink wink.
"But the CCC is warning that the UK will drift further away from this goal unless new policies are introduced." AKA they're not actually doing anything meaningful.
First coal power station 1882 First wind farm 1980 First 1mw solar farm 1982 Coal has had a 100 year head start, there's not much efficiency gains to be had. Wind and solar OTOH are both improving rapidly, in terms of efficiency and in terms of rapid cost declines. New factories producing cheaper solar panels and wind turbines are mushrooming, those factories being built now will produce premium priced product for a few years - and then the price will decline - it'll decline and they'll either be producing cheaper turbines/panels or they'll be out-manoeuvred by other newer factories producing even cheaper turbines and panels. We're no-where near the end for the best panels and turbines, todays solar panels can last a hundred years, todays turbines can last over 40 years, contrary to the BS FUD the coal and nuclear industries like to spread.
So whether or not Germany has plowed a fortune into renewables is largely irrelevant because this game has barely begun, Germany simply helped by getting the investment ball rolling.
Renewables are the future of energy, everything else is storage / supporting.
In the UK some supermarkets pick from stores and some pick from dedicated delivery warehouses. Getting your shopping from a dedicated warehouse is obviously preferable and the fresh food quality is noticeably better because a) it hasn't had a bunch of people prodding at it to see if it's ripe b) has been stored optimally and c) staff don't care, they will simply grab an item which will be queued in a methodical first in first out system (assuming the supermarkets aren't complete idiots) .
Lol, and how ethical is spying on people and selling that information!?!?
I've read 1984 and in many ways what we have today is worse, most of the population is brain-washed and the majority can't think beyond their genetic programming, hell the majority don't want to think, they find it too hard and want other people to think for them.
Yes, but can it be better than a good alert professional driver with a decade of experience?
Or do you only want the cars to be marginally better than humans including the ones that are drunk, too tired to drive, on medication etc? Would you get in a cab if the driver was drunk?
The title is stated as fact what the summary clearly states is just a guestimate. Amazing how pretty much every thread here so far has missed that and is discussing this like the title is 100% fact.
Use the flag, users who abuse mod points like that shouldn't get mod points.
I am surprised Europe isn't doing better, the UK has been doing a good job of reducing CO2, but we tories in power now and they're only paying lip-service to doing anything. They're more keen on doing the most crony things possible and wasting huge amounts of money on white elephants like hinkley.
That is the moral of the story here, after reading this article I can't imagine anyone here thinking Tierra.net is a good registrar to use. AKA dumb as fuck.

Yet another boring security issue that is only an issue if you allow the attacker to run their malicious code on your machine.
The overlooked issue is that windows runs far too much unnecessary junk that no-one is using on everyone's machine.
Yeah, clearly she's to dumb to be able to use anything other than an iPhone.
You don't need to know what an OS is to use a phone, Samsung are selling hardware, the software is incidental, it's not even their own software.
FML, there not their.
My friend was an office drone at the US embassy, had to get rid of the phone the Russian govt gave her the week she started their.
