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

if a country has a housing crisis, the state should either afford social housing, or just control birthrate by some child policy. u cant allow people to impregnate each other like rabbits then wonder why everyone is on the street: but its in fact intended, it leverages companies power over the workforce by having everyone competing over a decent salary to afford rent

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.

00:00:00 In this section, the video highlights the dire state of Britain’s economy and public services, attributing it to the austerity measures implemented by the government starting in 2010. These measures, introduced by David Cameron, were aimed at reducing government debt, but instead, they have resulted in a decline in education, healthcare, safety, and other essential services. The video explores the reasoning behind austerity, which was to save the British state from the bond markets and stimulate economic growth. However, with rising interest rates and a struggling economy, the policy has seemingly backfired. The debate between Keynesian economists and proponents of expansionary austerity is also discussed, with the latter arguing that reducing government spending could lead to a stronger economy. Ultimately, the video sets the stage to examine how austerity, meant to save Britain, has instead ruined it. 00:05:00 In this section, the excerpt discusses how austerity measures implemented by David Cameron’s government in Britain ultimately led to negative economic outcomes. Despite the theory that reduced government spending would stimulate economic growth, the reality was quite different. The private sector investment remained low, and the economy faltered while countries like the US, which avoided austerity, continued to grow. Government services suffered as a result, including the NHS and education sectors, which were promised protection but now face budget shortages and staff shortages. The failure of expansive austerity can be attributed to the fact that the anticipated investment and consumption boom did not occur, and the jobs created were of low quality, limiting real economic growth. 00:10:00 In this section, the speaker highlights that austerity measures in Britain resulted in a more unequal economy, favoring firms and capital owners over workers. The state’s attempt to make it more efficient led to a shift in employment from frontline personnel to policy consultants, negatively impacting the quality of life. The speaker argues that even sectors believed to be spared from budget cuts, such as the NHS and education, were affected due to population growth and inflation. The overall conclusion drawn is that austerity, in theory, could have saved Britain, but the evidence overwhelmingly shows that it instead ruined the country. The speaker emphasizes the need for nuance in evaluating austerity measures and points out that there are cases where properly implemented austerity could be beneficial, such as in countries like Kuwait. Nonetheless, the damaging effects of austerity on Britain are evident, regardless of one’s political inclination.

00:00:00 In this section, the creator discusses the issue of consumerism within the study community online. They clarify that while purchasing study trends and products can be fun and not inherently bad, the problem lies in the promotion of these products without any reasoning behind it. This creates a mindset that students can only be successful if they have the right items and products, which can be exclusionary and misleading. The creator reflects on how the study community has evolved over time, starting with a specific aesthetic on Tumblr and expanding to platforms like YouTube. They acknowledge that while the study community provides helpful advice and resources, it can also be toxic by promoting a culture of comparison and excess consumption. The creator also shares their personal experience of feeling pressured to conform to these trends and accumulate products, eventually realizing that it was not necessary for success. 00:05:00 In this section, the creator discusses the consumerist nature of the StudyTube community. They explain that while they own and showcase various products in their videos, it doesn’t mean they are promoting them as essential for studying. They highlight that creators have a responsibility to be transparent about the products they feature and clarify that not all products are perfect or necessary. The creator also expresses their belief that many StudyTube trends are overrated and may not be available in all countries. They emphasize that the visual aspects and material possessions within the community do not determine one’s success as a student, and that free resources can be just as valuable. They mention that the video is sponsored by Notion, a free organization app that they have been using exclusively for over a year and a half. 00:10:00 In this section, the YouTuber discusses using Notion as a study tool, noting that while some features are limited on the free plan, such as not being able to add new members, users can still share specific pages with classmates and export notes to PDF format. The YouTuber encourages viewers to start using Notion by clicking the provided link, as it supports their channel. They also emphasize that if Notion doesn’t work for them, there are many other alternatives to explore. Lastly, they advise against relying on any one tool as a solution to all study problems, and instead encourage viewers to keep trying and find what works best for them.

00:00:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the controversial changes that occurred after Audacity was acquired by Muse Group. These changes included the introduction of Telemetry, which raised concerns among the free and open-source software community. However, the speaker reassures viewers that the current privacy policy only includes minimal Telemetry such as update checking and error reporting, which can be easily disabled. Additionally, Audacity no longer sends data to Google and Yandex for analytics and has removed the clause about sharing data with law enforcement. Overall, the speaker concludes that there is no need to worry about Audacity being spyware and that the software is safe to use. 00:05:00 In this section, it is mentioned that the pushback from the community against the planned changes for Audacity has had an effect, with certain changes, such as telemetry, being scrapped. However, one concern that remains is the Contributor License Agreement (CLA), which requires anyone contributing code to Audacity to sign a legal document. While the Muse Group, the new owner of Audacity, has stated that it will keep Audacity free and open source, the CLA gives them the power to potentially repackage the code as a proprietary application in the future. Despite this, for end users, there may not be much cause for worry. The section also highlights some improvements made to Audacity since the acquisition, including the ability to drag elements with the mouse, non-destructive editing, support for VST3 plugins, and a few interface changes. Additionally, while there have been several forks of Audacity, most of them are no longer active, with Tenacity being one of the few that is still actively updated. 00:10:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the current state of Audacity and its forks, specifically Tenacity. Tenacity has had a turbulent development history, with the original maintainer stepping down due to receiving death threats. The previous maintainer of Sawstacity is now in charge of Tenacity, which is considered to be the most prominent fork. However, Tenacity is still in beta and may contain bugs and possible data loss, so the speaker does not recommend using it full-time. Additionally, Tenacity is lacking some of the new features that have been added to Audacity. In conclusion, the speaker suggests sticking with Audacity as it is currently in good hands and is a reliable choice for audio editing

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

sync barely sends me notifications when there are ones. also i have to go through hoops to reach saved posts or comments. idk the menu isn’t all that intuitive. Back in the day, there weren’t only sync as a 3p client, so give other people some chance to prove themselves.

.

taxpayer money is free, no there’s no loss to begin with

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

big oil get subsidies collected from people to build renewables (the source of which is free), renewables help corporate get extra cash by cutting costs, but those cost cuts dont translate to lower prices for consumers, fucking the environment in the process. corporates are just leeches on humanity and the universe. socialize the costs, privatize the gains.

downvotes: /woosh

i had a tab s2 with 28nm soc, 3gig lpddr3 ram running android 7 and the app quickly crashes, now i use an infinix (random asian brand, but way better than the rest) with a 12nm soc 4 gig of ram (4 doesnt seem enough) and 10w slow charging, the next phone i consider buying would run android 13 with 16 gig of ram (swap included, well, unlocked at least), also includes 33w fast charging and a 6nm soc, kinda finding myself reasons to upgrade, but as u said i am waiting this out too: i wanted to run the app on my pc but also i would have to upgrade my laptop ram so my os could support the android emulator without hiccups. i considered running my own instance for this sake but kinda extreme…lemmy is addictive not gonna lie

I use Connect: i filter alot of undesired coms and instances so i could browse only interesting stuff. I filter alot that i get a runtime error, due to server overwhelmed with requests. Connect Dev said that the app will be optimized in a way that u could browse infinitly without compromising said filters or encountring such error. I feel my only bottleneck now is android ram, since browsing down the feed causes the phone to become sluggish and cause other background run apps to crash: probably considering getting a phone with extra ram (8gig with swap enabled? )

Why are u downvoted
