probably cause they didn’t invest much in cybersec…like most companies…and they deserve it, for not hiring such essential engineers

CopyQ is awesome.

busy week huh

Intel unveiled its first direct mesh-to-mesh photonic fabric at the Hot Chips 2023 chip conference, highlighting its progress towards a future of optical chip-to-chip interconnects that are also championed by the likes of Nvidia and Ayar Labs. However, the eight-core 528-thread chip that Intel used for the demonstration stole the spotlight due to its unique architecture that sports 66 threads per core to enable up to 1TBs of data throughput. Surprisingly, the chip consumes only 75W of power, with 60 of the power being used by the optical interconnects, but the design could eventually enable systems with two million cores to be directly connected with under 400ns latency. Intels PUMA Programmable Unified Memory Architecture chip is part of the DARPA HIVE program that focuses on improving performance in petabyte-scale graph analytics work to unlock a 1000X improvement in performance-per-watt in hyper-sparse workloads. Surprisingly for an x86-centric company like Intel, the test chip utilizes a custom RISC architecture for streamlined performance in graph analytics workloads, delivering an 8X improvement in single-threaded performance. The chip is also created using TSMCs 7nm process, not Intels own internal nodes. After characterizing the target workloads, Intel concluded that it needed to craft an architecture that solved the challenges associated with extreme stress on the memory subsystem, deep pipelines, branch predictors, and out-of-order logic created by the workload. Intels custom core employs extreme parallelism to the tune of 66 hardware threads for each of the eight cores, large L1 instruction and data caches, and 4MB of scratchpad SRAM per core. The eight-core chip features 32 optical IO ports that operate at 32 GBsdir apiece, thus totaling 1TBs of total bandwidth. The chips drop into an eight-socket OCP server sled, offering up to 16 TBs of total optical throughput for the system, and each chip is fed by 32GB of custom DDR5-4000 DRAM. Intel fabbed the chip on TSMCs 7nm process with 27. 6 billion transistors spanning a 316mm2 die. The eight cores, which consume 1. 2 billion transistors, run down the center of the die, flanked by eight custom memory controllers with an 8-byte access granularity.

If it uses internal storage as swap, thats ofc way quicker. but u know what quicker ? real lpddr ram. if its 24 gig lpddr ram then i am all in :)

24gig ? thats probably with swap enabled (like all chinese phones, false advertizing). any rooted phone with enabled swap could help extend the ram this much too. heck there s a paid app that could enables limitless swap using any class 10 sd card. also 120w would only make since if it would charge a 10k mAh battery or something.

Infinix Note 30 has an option where when plugging the charger and using the phone at the same time electricity would be used to feed the phone directly, instead of charging the battery (since charging the battery (33w fast charge) while using the phone causes it to heat and lose from its life) thus it stays cool during simultaneous usage and charging: now one could do work on a plugged phone without the risk of ruining the battery

thats how it will pan out: google is just adding an extra step to flight booking: making it booking with extra steps.

we need less planes anyway, so good news. no offense to pilots thou, but its not all about them. could retool their skillset by learning train conduction or something…like something more eco-friendly

yea, using linux or there’s revanced that recompiles/ repckages ? the youtube apk file into an advanced youtube installation file, with sponsorblock and all. this way if u had an android u could stream Youtube with all the enhancements to ur tv using chromecast. its free territory this open source universe !

tech bro busy creating wild life on mars by destroying the one on earth

how do u add extensions to an app ? unless u repack the apk file, which is the same way as revanced, right ?. i use extensions on pc thou. firefox feeling like its own os with the amount of extensions and scripts i am running on top of the thing rip

Why are u downvoted

i should have known: i didnt have a browser to download anything, i could have downloaded firefox.deb with phone or something then install it

of these package managers can be confusing at times

exactly.

2nd Fedora recommendation in a week!

i didnt use irc before but i hav a matrix account. nonetheless i ll look up how to reach u through this. and thank you for being easy on me for my linux takes: if linux is to be mass adopted, new comers need to be handled this way, and not to be shamed for their lack of knowledge.

You don’t. The tools to do this without the gui are likely included in your distribution as a base

i could barely do it in gui, let alone in cui. i need colors to know what i am doing (consider me ur average joe!, and i kinda am)

That’s up to your distribution, but typically the answer is ‘users can install it through the package manager if and when they need it’.

please do, i really like to be recommended a distro which comes with many common tools installed. package manager (if u mean by that snap and the like ?) is buggy as hell, i would rather use terminal than deal with that

Windows, for example, still had everyone using an Administrator account for day-to-day stuff until Vista / 7.

i miss those days, now can’t do nothing with my win 7 :(

If you’re comfortable with the terminal, get used to basic commands like cat, grep, find, etc - the command line tools are often more available (and more powerful) than their hypothetical GUI counterpart!

yea i guess i ll have to: already bookmarked a common sysadmin commands guide, and probably would have to learn more in the process. again as u mentionned, as much as it is tiresome, i start to think the reason why things are the way they are in linux. also i like the harmony between my android and linux apps when syncing: it feels like being in a macos/ios environement on a budget, but with also the advantage of being able to upgrade hardware, and very wide array of apps to choose from, and the open source community willing to offer help.complaining apart, i will dedicate time and effort to learn linux and make the best of it.

also, seeing that ur an admin of an instance, i really wanted to self host…myself too, since i was on linux, but i am kinda following docker guides blindly and didnt get much far with my endeavour so i had to bail for now

Just be careful what partitions you remove/format, but I guess that’s obvious.

i am learning the hard way :/

its a 3in1 30$ wifi inkjet canon: as long as kept from dust and humidity especially, the thing is a beast: printed almost 20k pages with one before it broke. cartridge infinitely refillable and a 1L ink bottle lasts to infinity and cost 10$.

Disagree

tbh i wish it weren’t my opinion too. but since the occasion presented itself, op is struggling with setting up a software for his needs on linux: i wish there were viable options for his case.

It really isn’t.

maybe i am simple minded, but why do i have to install gparted just so i could partition my disk (in windows disk partition is a given), or have to install fuse so i could run .appimage files; why don’t these functions come preinstalled ? maybe i am now starting to understand why is linux invunerable to viruses: u kinda have to sudo ur way through everything so u could u achieve ur need. maybe i am venting, but as a newcomer from windows, its kinda overwhelming haha: wanna copy to a readonly directroy: sudo cp; edit a readonly file: sudo gedit…even the terminal isnt in favourites, i have to ctrl alt T so i could find it 😭😭 again, i am no dev, and i kinda have a day to spend and work to get to xd
