I assume unless you use software which installs it's cache/other stuff into the user home directory, right? Then you would also need to delete these dirs as well?

They stated at the analyst day that they will support TensorFlow, Theano, Caffee etc. And will release something called MiOpen.

They also stated this last year:

> On top of ROCm, deep-learning developers will soon have the opportunity to use a new open-source library of deep learning functions called MIOpen that AMD intends to release in the first quarter of next year. This library offers a range of functions pre-optimized for execution on Radeon Instinct cards, like convolution, pooling, activation, normalization, and tensor operations

There is also MRAM [0] which ships from a company called Everspin [1][2] and is produced by Globalfoundries. Unlike Intels/Microns solution it seems to be as fast as normal RAM, but at much smaller densities.

If it's adblock plus they let ads through for which they receive money.

Seems like it could be used for the same purpose as NetlifyCms.

The EPYC is 4 dies connected by AMD's Infinity Fabric. I wonder how much cheaper that makes the chip to produce.

Regarding the L3 cache: if nothing changed from Ryzen it will be 64 MByte.

Ideally with a message like "in stores now/tomorrow" or something along those lines.

They clearly never looked at the task manager or something similar. I'm running ~900 threads on my CPU which has only 6 cores and 12 threads. Magic! ;o)

They also announced Threadripper, which is AMD's new HEDT platform with up to 16 cores and 32 threads, they also showed Radeon Vega Pro SSG (16 Gbyte HBM and 2 Terabyte SSD on the GPU) and DeepBench vs Nvidia P100 (with an advantage of ~30%) etc .

Yeah, when Leslie Lamport was mentioned a few days ago I thought to myself that MS has many, many more employees that I know from reading/watching in videos compared to apple, google, ibm etc.

I hope self driving cars take the crown in the future. The more the F1 is regulated the more boring it get's (at least for me).

Since no driver is in danger they could make the cars faster and the race tracks more interesting. Maybe this will revive some of the race tracks that apparently are not on the F1 list anymore because they are to dangerous.

Or in the far future even high speed racing with weapons like in the games Rollcage, Wipeout, F-Zero and Extreme-G (of course with technology that is available...)

There is a amusing video from Runar Bjarnason about the GoF book, the Interpreter Pattern and functional programming (Free Monad): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmX2s3pe_qk

Yes, and the reader mode was not available to me a first too. I believe I used the option to request the desktop page and then the icon appeared in the url bar.

The google cache has at least the text: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:B5DWGh4...

Using the reader mode resolved the problem for me.

This is about the rumored Workstation CPU's of AMD and comes from a french magazine (CanardPC) which also leaked infos about the Ryzen desktop CPU's before they launched. The rumor seems reasonable to me when looking at the AMD Ryzen R7 1700 with 8 cores at 3 Ghz and a TDP of 65 Watt and the test's some user did on the forum of anandtech.com. [0]

I'm curious how much PCIe 3.0 lanes the motherboards will have. Since the CPU has half the cores of Naples maybe 64 PCIe 3.0 lanes?

Have you seen Contentful's webinar about lookbooks? Sounds like it could help: https://www.contentful.com/blog/2015/09/10/creating-a-digita...

Yeah, that would be nice to know, because that is one of the reasons I use Contentful at the moment. The source is on github and triggers Travis if I push changes, which in turn get's the content from Contentful, builds the static site with metalsmith and uploads the site through FTP. Or if the non-developer makes changes on Contentful this triggers Travis as well etc.

Works quite nice so far (especially since I didn't need to explain how to optimize the images) but would prefer a open source solution.

amd naples will also be used: http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/amd-collaborates-wi...

"This last bit may explain why Intel PR sent out a last-minute “call us before you write” email to most of the press, but not SemiAccurate, after hours last night."

Maybe to play around with genome data?

Maybe he/she bought when the stock was under 2 dollar last year? I know some people who invested their vacation money back then into AMD stock and are happy now.

Yes and no: here is a short article about it from Brad Wardell the CEO from Stardock [0]. Vulkan/Mantle/DirectX12 allow the game developer to really take advantage of multicore CPU's. Which is why we see the most gains with these new low level API's for AMD's FX chips because they are better at multi-threaded workloads compared to single threaded workloads like with previous DirectX versions.

A quote from the linked article:

  To to summarize:

  DirectX 11: Your CPU communicates to the GPU 1 core to 1 core at a time. It is still a big boost over DirectX 9 where only 1 dedicated thread was allowed to talk to the GPU but it’s still only scratching the surface.
  DirectX 12: Every core can talk to the GPU at the same time and, depending on the driver, I could theoretically start taking control and talking to all those cores.

  That’s basically the difference. Oversimplified to be sure but it’s why everyone is so excited about this.

Absolutely, nothing is really known at this point. The leaked power consumption results that we have show that a Ryzen engineering sample uses slightly less power than comparable Intel CPU's (i7 6900k). But we don't know if the leak is real.

So let's wait for real benchmarks (at march 2) before saying Intel is better in power consumption @ sparkling. But keep the following in mind: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13736809

"This last bit may explain why Intel PR sent out a last-minute “call us before you write” email to most of the press, but not SemiAccurate, after hours last night."

So nothing but a rumor at this point, but considering what Intel did in the past I'm at least inclided to believe it.

Doesn't seem to be the case for modern games [0]. And this comes from a side which sometimes is called NvidiaBase or IntelBase. With the consoles having 8 (slow) cores, and Mantel/Vulkan and DirectX 12 emerging this will probably get more pronounced over time. Especially when Unreal 4, Unity and Cryengine optimize for more threads which means even indie games should take advantage of more cores.

btw: the 65 watt tdp Ryzen R7 1700 for 329 dollar is matched against the Intel i7 7700k and has double the cores. Yes it will be slower in single thread applications like ARMA 3 (having only Broadwell IPC and being clocked lower), but even at stock you will have better performance in modern games (where the GPU is more important anyway).

How so? The R&D budget is even lower than before AMD got the console deals.

Why not use drones to catch drones? The japanese, or more specifically, the tokyo police is doing that. Is that not really viable?

Found the answer to my own question: They made it into 4.15 but since they are experimental the features are not mentioned in the release notes. [1]

According to a recent video [1] some features from the new audio engine should have made it into 4.15, but I can't see them mentioned in the release notes. Didn't they make it in?
