The 2 smaller chiplets are for core complex, the memory controller is on the IO die(the other bigger one) that these 2 CCX share. So there is still one single memory controller, and hence, not NUMA.

I find it very amusing that they use the name "Feng Shui" for placing the victim page.

For those who don't understand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feng_shui

But if you look at the launch price 2700 was $300 and 2700X was $330. I think the difference is so small that it drives people who don't want to manually overclock buy the X version to skip the hassle.

Not sure about VC++, but in gcc you can use -march=native to let the compiler compile the code with all instruction sets available on your CPU, I think there is a VC++ equivalent.

As for already compiled binary, depending on how it was compiled it may or may not work of a different CPU. Also the compiler doesn't do the runtime checks.

And yet facebook wants to be more like WeChat[0].

Let's just say the "customers" are impatient for a good enough solution that is part of a iterative workflow :)

In the specific area I worked on, minutes are borderline tolerable so I didn't think twice before posting. But now that you said it, I totally see how it can go on for days.

I worked on both GA and SA and I think it really depends. There are some effective evolution strategies that can speed up the evolution, combine that with a parallel implementation GA can be really fast. But yeah it can take time to figure out a good evolution strategy and SA can solve some problems just fine.

Genetic algorithms works well when

0) there is not enough data for you to train a NN, and

1) you have a really huge solution space for the problem that you cannot brutal force, and

2) you can encode each solution into a simple ``string'' (chromosome), and

3) the problem you're trying to solve is not very time critical (GA can take seconds to minutes depending on your problem)

Also, GA can actually utilize many CPU or even GPU cores to solve the problem much faster.

That's pretty cool! I knew tech reviewers/writers get free stuff all the time but didn't know sysadmins do to. Thanks for sharing.

May I ask why would Intel send you a server for free or what occupation comes with perks like this?

Unfortunately employment opportunity doesn't help in this case. They are already offered jobs/interns but cannot legally start working (anywhere) because they have to wait for the work permit (OPT) to be approved.

> I'm also curious if it will support PCIe Gen4 since Apple has obviously worked closely with AMD

Probably not. In order to have PCIe 4 working, you have to have CPU support as well as mobo chipset support, neither is there in this machine.

Yeah I was having trouble accessing my Gsuite apps, had a couple of 502s, which led me to check HN. While it doesn't give me 502 now, it's abnormally slow.

I don't own an iPhone and the watch was 2x more expensive than the iPod.

I bought the previous gen last year when it was on sale and mainly use it for gym or jogging because my phone is too big to carry around. If only they had a up-to-date, small form factor phone (hoping a SE2) then yeah I would switch my phone altogether.

What you said is true. However, if the said country is determined to go full-on isolationist, they have other means to prevent people from using the "holes", like creating laws to go after the people.

To answer your last question, there not a significant Chinese-equivalent to GitHub yet, partly because GitHub is still largely accessible in China. A lot of Chinese tech giants have been active on GitHub and have plenty of repos:

https://github.com/Tencent https://github.com/alibaba https://github.com/bilibili https://github.com/baidu

I wish the same. But the sad reality is probably more "segmented internet" instead of a "decentralized internet".

Other post[0] has mentioned Terminus Project if you know Chinese. Or if you don't know Chinese, backing an mirror might probably help.

Those that do not conflict with the browser still works. e.g. 'Ctrl + `' to open terminal, 'Ctrl + p' quick open. I'm using Firefox and 'Ctrl + Shift + p' will open a new private browsing page instead of the command palette.

In fact, Southwest had very little choice purchasing new planes: their entire fleet are 737s (of various versions) so that they can lower personnel training & maintaining costs, which is part of the reason their prices are typically lower. So if they were to expand their fleet while still trying to minimize the cost they had basically no choice but to keep buying new 737s.

I don't blame Southwest though, after all the FAA and Boeing gave the green light for these jets. It would be interesting to see where Southwest is going if 737 Max is discontinued after this.

I am all for raising minimum salary to rule out abusers, but my point is there are also a lot of other factors to consider here in addition to absolute salary number, and if you ignore those factors, it will be unfair to a lot of people & companies just as lottery is unfair to a lot of people & companies.

This is a complicated problem and the solution has to be non-trivial. Both lottery and salary-sorting seems too trivial, and are therefore prune to cheating. For example, abusers can just pay their employee $200k but then charge them $100k "legal fees" for "immigration processing"? (I know some companies are already doing something similar)

Every time I see an H-1B related thread comment like this will pop up. No, it cannot "be very easily solved" by sorting salaries. For example, what about other industries who also need foreign talents? $100K might be top wage for some other industries but no where near the top in tech. Even in tech, how do you expect small start-ups or small businesses to compete with giants like FAANG who can just throw money at the problem? Also, what about the cost of living factor? Is $200k in SV considered more competitive than $150k in some other rural area?
