Well, Mooress original statement coupled transistor density to cost. With the current RAM pricing, it looks to me like Moore's law is not only dead, but in fact reversed - the cost of a fixed density of DRAM cells double roughly every 12? Months.

Well, they changed that rule as well. If the float is less than a set percentage, then it is weighted as a much higher percentage. Something like the minimum for weighting is 12% where SpaceX's float will be below 5% (those are the numbers I recall, but I don't have a lot of confidence in them.) That means they will be weighted as if the float was 12%.

Technically it's connected via 8 PCIe gen 5 lanes (two 4x connections), allowing ~100Gbps per port.

Well, currently if you want to run the last version of Xilinx ISE 14.7* in Windows, Xilinx will have you download a linux VM to do so (14.7 was originally supported on Windows, but support was dropped after it broke).

On a side note: ISE was discontinued in 2013, but AMD only announced the acquisition in 2020, so I found it strange that those events appear to be linked in your comment?

*ISE is still required for any FPGAs older than 7 (like Virtex/Spartan 6).

That page compares models that easily fit inside the ram on either GPU. The biggest difference comes when one card can fit a model and the other cannot.

Then he'll rebrand SpaceX to " X" (a space followed by an X).

Your Movements May Vary?

Yes, in that case I completely agree. Using it everywhere is a mistake IMHO. I know there might be a stylistic reason for using it everywhere, but I believe less code is better, unless more code makes it easier to understand.

Why would anybody think more words more better?

That gold rating was last tested with wine 5.0 in 2020. I have tried many times to install Office 2016 after that, and failed because Microsoft keeps changing their login/activation front-end. The last time the issue was with some Edge-dependency. For a while it was possible to get it working with Crossover, and then it broke again. Currently I'm using WinApps for the infrequent project that requires MS Office.

That said, I haven't tried Office on wine in the last 2 years, and there have a lot of development in that time...

Even the unnecessary microcontrollers in modern devices irk me. A fridge does not need a microcontroller. (My issue is primarily repairability - discrete components can be sourced and replaced, microcontrollers with the correct programming usually cannot.)

The wifi devices are cheaper IME, so I created a IOT VLAN that does not have internet access, nor access to my normal network unless it was initiated from the trusted side.

> Can't understand why manufacturers make this hard as it sells hardware.

Because a lot of features that cost a lot of money are only software limitations. With many of the cheaper cameras the max shutter speed and video capabilities are limited by software to make the distinction with the more expensive cameras bigger. So they do sell hardware - but opening up the software will make their higher-end offerings less compelling.
