Is Crohn getting more and more common recently?
hardware2win··on Google's Lars Bergstrom: Rust teams are twice as productive as teams using C++
I meant that people who write Rust may be more curious about tech, so they could be better devs
hardware2win··on Google's Lars Bergstrom: Rust teams are twice as productive as teams using C++
Ok, people with "passion" then

Probably hobbyists were more likely to join rust side after learning about its pros?
hardware2win··on Notes on debugging HotSpot's JIT compilation (2023)
There are side effects, but in real world, not abstract

Political thing, but bug created by removal is real :)
hardware2win··on Notes on debugging HotSpot's JIT compilation (2023)
Leave code without obvious side effects alone (this is different from dead code)
hardware2win··on Notes on debugging HotSpot's JIT compilation (2023)
Sometimes compiler engineers try to be too smart and they end up creating a mess :)

>When optimizing code for "dead store removal" the optimizing compiler may remove code necessary for security.

hardware2win··on Notes on debugging HotSpot's JIT compilation (2023)
It is written in other, more general "specification" called physics

Computers arent purely abstract, they exist in real world and are affected by it, so lets do not try to pretend otherwise

hardware2win··on Notes on debugging HotSpot's JIT compilation (2023)
There is a side effect like cpu temperature increase

If I put my leg on my desktop tower then I may feel enjoyably warm or if I put some chocolate on my laptop then it may start melting

Also fans will be louder

Why would you want to remove those calculations?

You would change behavior of this program

hardware2win··on Intel to Receive $8.5B in Grants to Build Chip Plants
No shock that profits are failing when they are investing heavily
hardware2win··on 6.2 GHz Intel Core I9-14900KS Review
>Why does everyone these days hate consumer choice and market diversity so much?

A lot of people got into CPU topics because Apple created their M1s and they think that ARM is some unparallelled thing that every1 must adopt and that Apple's design goals are most important (other market segments are irrelevant)

hardware2win··on CS 6120: Advanced Compilers: The Self-Guided Online Course
Haha, I agree

The kind of ppl who always when arguing about programming langs or compilers starts referring to C or CPP standard or its ecosystem as a holy bible

hardware2win··on Tech Job Interviews Are Out of Control
>its much better to know what its doing under the hood.

I agree when it comes to programming langs, libs, compilers and in general computers. Because knowledge of those things significantly affects your output (code)

But git? I treat it the same way I treat email client, power point or chat app used at work.

Hell, I could probably benefit more from high power point skills than high git skills.

hardware2win··on Tech Job Interviews Are Out of Control
Git questions are weird for me

Cuz, I use git gui and I switch to cli like a once a month at best, so I dont really remember the commands nor see the value in putting effort into it

It feels like people fixated on git details think everyone has the same work flow as they do, so for them it feels like git cli proficiency is really needed.

It is like asking about vsCode shortcuts (it'd probably be even more useful, since you spend more time in your editor)

Id really prefer being asked about algos, compilers, web dev, system design, whatever heavily software related (even religious topics like SOLID) than boring tools which can be used in various ways

hardware2win··on U.S. to invest billions to replace China-made cranes at nation's ports
Cannot they reverse engineer them just like polish trains geolock?
hardware2win··on A peek at Intel's future foundry tech
Well, it is not like they arent aware of it.

They were pretty open about this on some earning calls and how do I see it?

I see it as room for improvement and maybe some kind of potential edge over duos like amd+tsmc

hardware2win··on Apple reportedly faces €500M fine from EU
>Being able to configure hardware the way you want

Who is "you" here?

Company or People?

Because EU stands behind ppl here

hardware2win··on A peek at Intel's future foundry tech
The far ahead argument is something I read weekly on investing boards

Some claim tsmc is decade ahead, other say it is 3 to 5 years, etc, etc.

From my understanding both are in a race that will be decided in next 10-14 months and when it comes to the future, Intel has priority on next gen EUV (HighNA), so there is a chance

Various medias report that Intel has 1-2 year advantage due on tech like PowerVia

So, it is not that clear how far ahead TSMC is

_____

>TSMC isnt stupid

Yes, they arent, so arent their customers who want geo diversified supply chain and risk amortization (Earthquake? War? Drought?)

Also they will have leverage when negotiating deals with TSMC

hardware2win··on Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger: I hope to build chips for Lisa Su and AMD
Dont you think that itd be foundrys suicide?
hardware2win··on A peek at Intel's future foundry tech
>like China trying to cut it off from the world. Because that would risk it being cut of from ASML, and they are unlikely to be anywhere close

But... arent they already cut from ASML?

US disallowed ASML to sell advanced tech to China

Werent they trying to fight for this market segment with their partnerships with tower/umci?
hardware2win··on A peek at Intel's future foundry tech
I invested in AMD around 95 levels, but I started selling them on recent tops around 175-180 to buy more INTC when they dropped after their guidance for Q1

It is not that I dont believe in AMD, I just believe that their growth potential is lower than INTCs.

Foundry businsss is crazy and has waaay higher entry level

hardware2win··on A peek at Intel's future foundry tech
Ive invested in them 1yr ago and as the time is passing Im feeling more and more confident that it was really good bet

Im excited and cant wait to see next 3 years

hardware2win··on Japan bets $67B to become a global chip powerhouse once again
Well, current bleeding edge semicos require like hundreds of billions if you start from 0

Meanwhile what about those materials that could allow you to make 1000x faster cpus, but we arent capable of manufacturing them at scale and also their lifespan is way shorter than silicon.

Im not saying 7T is reasonable, but if thats what he want to do, then it is very interesting and expensive as hell
