Aromasin

I'd love to know if there was an equivalent one for species native to the UK.

EDIT: Found a great list after a little investigation! https://www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/tasks/projects/miyawaki-for...

They still sit at roughly 50x PE Ratio though. You'd have to expect such high growth (way more than even they forecast) to make sense of buying into that if you're not reliant on making money on hype and brand awareness, which is brutally fickle.

Water + Fish Stew seemed to break everything for me!

I always find it incredible what just a few short years of rationing during WW2 did to British cuisine for decades after. It was as extravagant and flavourful for the middle and upper classes of the 19th century and prior as any other culture. Just looking at a few menus from the period, they were decadent to the extreme and could hold a candle to the cuisines world over.

The UK started rationing in 1939 and finished in 1954. In that time, the tastes of the nations changed to the extent that we still feel that impact today, with the fondness for beans on toast and other beige foods. Think about how many times we've all heard the running joke that Brits have poor taste and don't season their food. It's sad really.

This is more a case of industry doing something with no meaningful input from the government, and politicians acting like they made it happen.

Applied Mathematics certainly has the intention of using Math to solve problems from other fields though. I studied Robotics, and shared several classes with people from the Applied Mathematics course; * Transportation Modelling (using math to model transport on roads, rail, and shipping, and solve optimisation problems) * Computer Vision (using math to recognise patterns in images) * Biomechanics (using math to model the movement and formation of all things biology; we did everything from a sperm cell locomotion to an Achilles tendon spring strength)

There were others, but all of them had a very practical purpose, and most of the people I spent time with on the Applied Mathematics course were actively pursuing a career in engineering of some sort, while the Mathematics course was made up of either Pure Math people looking to go into academia, or people destined for finance.

I'm quoting a journal article I read probably nigh on 5 years ago, but as far as I remember yes. It depends on the size, so it won't remove all but it will remove the vast majority.

The rumour mill through the distributors suggests they will be available on standard though, as they're targeted at customer with lower cost centres.

When I was 16, I spent way too much time playing Leagues of Legends. My life would be so much easier now if I started practising what I do now that early!

Look up Agilex 5 and 3. Announced some time last year/early this year. Low to mid range devices. Early access customers are working on designs for 5 now.

I know a Altera folks personally. From my understanding this is happening - new shares and all. They'll stay on Intel stock until the new entity is finalised (some time next year). Apparently the plan is to go private and create a new IPO 3 years from now like they did with Mobileye.

Counter point to this, we use them almost exclusively. Their Agilex 7 and Stratix 10 devices make up most of the compute on our acceleration cards. The fact they have market ready CXL IP when no one else does has been a recent win for us. We work closely with Microsoft, and they use mainly Intel/Altera too.

I mean, he had a phone too. The firestick is a red herring the BBC are using to sensationalise the situation.

It can be, but the divide isn't as pronounced as it was in the late 90s and early 00s. I know that RTL engineers tend to make more than most software engineers nowadays.

My previous housemate worked in the tech recruitment industry, and he told me that the top end of the semiconductor industry tended to always pay better than the software industry, provided you excluded finance from the mix (where hardware engineers don't generally get a foot in outside of designing chips for HFT). Equally, though, the bottom of the scale was lower.

My personal experience supports that conclusion. As a graduate, my starting salary was dramatically lower than my university friends who went into software, but the jump in pay between grades proved to be much more dramatic.

I've bounced around a few companies, and all the smartest people I know are in the semiconductor industry. Some of them - self-proclaimed hardware engineers - would write better code than what I've seen come out of lifelong software devs. They have crazy deep, specialised knowledge on so many fields it boggles the mind.

There's no real divide between startups and corporations in terms of talents from what I perceived. The industry was in general seething with talent.

I work for one of their big competitors, and all my conversations with customers tend to follow the same string; "NVIDIA is milking us dry, we want an alternative, but all the alternatives require significant redesign in languages and tools people are unfamiliar with and we can't afford that overhead". It tends to be very cut and dry.

Until university labs get people working in open frameworks and not CUDA, every student joining the industry will default to NVIDIA GPUs until they're forced otherwise. The few people I've managed to convert have been forced by supply constraints, not any desire to innovate or save themselves money. As long as NVIDIA can keep the market satiated with a critical mass of compute, they'll sit on their throne for a long ol' while.

To be honest, provided none of the tax/profit makes its way back to Russia through illegal channels to circumvent sanctions, I don't see the problem. I know plenty of my colleagues migrated out of Russia to Germany, Israel, Turkey, and Greece following the war and started businesses there or continued already existing ones in a new locale. They wanted a new life for themselves, not under the rule of a crazed dictator.

Project Catapult as other comments have spoken about, and the newly announced Azure Boost has FPGAs on board too.

Note that Microsoft has been using "custom chips" for years; they've just been on FPGAs not ASICs. They've developed IP to accelerate a whole bunch of processes, so it's not like they've suddenly come around to a magic sauce that Amazon and Google have been doing this whole time. It would surprise me if over half of the new chip is just based on RTL from their FPGA design.

The only thing that's changed is that they're scaling like crazy now and can justify overhead that comes with designing ASICs versus using off the shelf parts.

Is this not the classic story about the 50 students who make 1 pot well, versus 50 who make 100 pots quickly? The people who make 100 pots always end up with the best pot. Why then do architecture schools, from what I'm reading, believe the reverse to be true?

I can reconcile with the thought that perhaps things move too fast, but if that is backed by spaced repetition of the same task, then the outcome is generally superior from my experience. Why does the same logic not apply here? Reiterating the same design 20 times over seems just as rigorous, if not more, tham doing it once.

Precisely this. Most modern CPUs would be better called SoCs, with CPU/GPU/XPU cores all on a single package. If you want any sort of stopping power in terms of the number of cores or the clocking speed of said cores, you need massive amounts of cooling, hence why GPUs are sold as bulky PCIe cards.

I had a very similar experience. I used to do a lot of "urban exploring" in the UK, and as part of that, I visited Paris for it with some friends. We went with a guide I met on a forum to a secret resistance shelter recently uncovered at the time, and there was still litter from the 1940s. Old cigarette and match boxes, wine bottles, old posters and the like. It was exactly as you describe; intimate, in the way that visiting a mausoleum or cathedral is compared to a museum. I'm sure it's been picked clean now, but the memory will stick with me forever I suspect.

I can't tell you how many people I know who must have read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" once and became parrots whose only contribution to the conversation was to ask me questions and say my name repeatedly. That does not make a good conversationalist.

Damn, that's a memory unlocked there. I forgot it existed completely. It was huge during my university days, and led to some very entertaining posts about things happening around the campus.

In hindsight though, a huge amount of the posts on there were misogynistic. I keenly remember "slut-spotting" being a trend, with people commenting on girls walking home still dressed up from the night before, telling people to look out for them. Led to a lot of jeering out of windows and the like. Plenty of racist threads also. Targeted cyberbullying too; calling out various people by name and publicly insulting them under anonymity. I distinctly remember having to console a friend who was in hysterics because someone posted a thread about something relatively harmless that she had done, and she was publicly shamed.

It was an entertaining way to spend a few minutes at it's best, but at it's worst was a social weapon for a lot of people who shouldn't have had that level of reach nor anonymity.

My friend - a notorious luddite - bought a newer iMac recently. He was sold by the marketing and videos/reviews of it. I've yet to see him sit at his desk to use it once beyond the first time. It's a paperweight. Same goes for my parents; they went to Currys (UK electronics retailer) to get a cheap laptop to view photos on, and to my dismay walked out with an iMac for 3x the price of a similar spec device that they use once in a blue moon.

These SKUs are categorically not meant for the likes of you and me. They're meant to target technologically illiterate people who want a pretty looking PC that everyone raves about because Apple are expert marketeers. The fact it's got 8GB RAM and 256GB of memory means little to nothing for them. They want an Apple device, but want something cheap, so they buy the cheapest one. Any other consideration is irrelevant.

Genetics absolutely has something to do with it. If a non-native Australian came along and started self-identifying as an aboriginal they'd be lambasted, and excluded from this advisory body as it's not meant for them.

States and nationalities =/= ethnicities. Someone can be an American by being a citizen of that country, past or present. Someone can be Californian by being a resident of that state, past or present. Someone is Aboriginal Australian by virtue of being born to another Aboriginal Australian. Nation states and ethnic identities are utterly different concepts. When I fill in a government form, I am a UK citizen, and identify as a British person; not as any of the other multiple options available to me. There are two separate boxes. I can become a US citizen, or a Canadian citizen, or a Mexican citizen, and identify with that nationality. I can't decide one day to become an Arab or Gypsy ethnicity, even if I lived on the Arabian peninsula or replaced my car with a horse and trap.

Reconciliation is a concept that I've not been able to wrap my head around, and I'm interested whether anyone here has read books that have swayed them one way or the other that they could recommend, especially with what's happening in Israel and Palestine at the moment.

In my eyes, it seems unreasonable for anyone in today's day and age to expect something from someone else based on the actions of their ancestors, or people with similar race/ethnicity, particularly in the case of giving any one other race/ethnicity political or capital power over others. Social groups ranked by birth should be something left in the Dark Ages, like feudalism and the worlds various caste systems.

Having "the advisory body of the whites/blacks/asians/indigenous/aboriginal/etcetera" enshrined in a constitution seems utterly bizarre to me. It enshrines that there's a specific difference between races, and some deserve more power over others. It's ratifying into law that different races have different privileges.

They state in the article that "it's been their home for 60,000 years". Am I crazy for thinking that's it's not been? It's been their home for 0-100 years, depending how old they are; same as non-native Australians. It's been their parents for 130 years perhaps, and their grandparents for maybe 160. When are we going to stop reaching back into ancient history to try and find power to use over one another, and focus on the power disparities of today's society which whirlpool around the sinkhole that is monetary wealth and try to seek equality there?

This is by no means an opinion I hold strongly, and I'm happy to be convinced out of it.

It's worth investing some time in it now. The tools are a bit more fleshed out along with the documentation, so it's not the pain it once was. It's been a godsend for some image processing work I've been doing of late. The performance improvements have been phenomenal.

Altera were roadblocked by relying on Intel nodes. Their new product lines (Agilex 9/7/5/3) are excellent however, despite being 3 or 4 years too late to the market. I've been lucky enough to have early access to them. It's going to be an uphill battle for Altera to win back lost business but based on current performance, and looking at AMDs roadmaps, I wouldn't put it past Altera to take the lead again.
