All animations are just wasted time while you can't properly interact with the UI, it's much better to just turn every one of them off.

Psychiatrists are useless because LLMs don't respond to drugs, psychologists are also useless because LLMs don't learn.

Ebola will never create an epidemic anywhere with a working health care system. And it's not mincing words, a few countries on a single continent is not global in any form, the WHO never said global, that's just something the nyt made up.

The flu kills 300-500k every year, and did not make the list, while absolute bullshit like Zika and Monkey pox did.

The only actually serious one on that list is Covid, and the title and the nyt are lying, they declared an international emergency, not a global one, there is no chance this spreads outside of sub-saharan Africa.

In an OoO CPU it won't even hit an execution unit because it's handled as a dependency chain break.

You could buy a 8087 for your 8086 or 8088, the 486DX just moved it on chip.

Be that as it may, carpet bombing has a specific meaning, and it's not bombing one's not on board with.

Aarch64 is just 15 years old, and shares pretty much nothing with 32 bit arms apart from the name.

I haven't seen a single firefox or chrome crash in months now, you should really stress-test your hardware.

That was Zen 1, the later ones don't have per chiplet memory controllers, it's all on the single IO die, and they are not NUMA for a single socket.

I assume you mean EU directives and not Belgian law, and the thing is it's incredibly hard to pass an EU directive, it needs to originate in the Commission, then pass qualified majority in the Council then pass a vote in the Parliament. Nothing without a broad consensus can get anywhere near.

These are chips that become e-waste the second a better a model comes out, and nvidia is already limited by TSMC capacity.

It's less impressive when you realize CCC happily compiles invalid C without emitting any errors.

These AI optimized GPUs are criminally bad at 64bit, so no you won't use them for that.

But it wasn't the culprit, the code could have been in anything, or could have bubbled up errors to main, and it still would have failed with for an incorrect config.
