So, could it be a feasable for a Zen CPU to have multiple microcode banks it switches between, so that it can run code in multiple architectures? For example, in addition to x86, some microcode for running WebAssembly or Java bytecode with native performance and no JIT overhead?
If you are going to specific devrooms instead of specific talks, you usually don't need to wait in line before getting in. At least that was my experience last year: I got there early in the morning and the rooms were not very full.
From what I understand, this core tries to ourperform the A75 in IPC whilst using less area. However, the P550 cores run at a lower frequency (1.4GHz) than the A75 (2GHz). I wonder if this optimization for area, like in Zen4c, makes it impossible to drive the core at a high frequency, hindering its maximum performance. Nonetheless, it's a great RISC-V core, especially when compared to what brands like SpaceMit and Alibaba T-Head offer.
If these vapes are disposable, wouldn't it be cheaper for the manufacturers to use non-rechageable battery technologies like the many ones on AA(A) batteries?
From what I read, Greece's policy was (partially) due to labour shortages during the tourism season, while Japan has lots of workers who work many unproductive hours (some just go to the office for the sake of going). I'd say they're different policies for quite different contexts.
If the tablet has both mainline kernel and uboot, it shouldn't be too hard for someone with embbeded Linux experience to port other distros over. However, there's quite a learning curve to doing it yourself.
That was possible before when targeting RV32. If I understand correctly, this makes it possible for LLVM to use all RISC-V extensions supported by the core with a simple command line (the patch describes what features the core supports), resulting in better-optimized code.
However, to run any language on the Pi Pico, that language still needs to interop with Pico's SDK, which you'd have to do manually if no one created bindings yet.
Even if someone got unsigned machine code execution on V8's or SpiderMonkey's JIT, the same could happen on JavaScript Core. All browsers could be vulnerable to something like this (it's just a matter of time before a vulnerability appears), and Apple should be focusing on securing their app sandbox.
In terms of privacy and third party apps, isn't the protection domain name based? Those are native apps, so browser protection wouldn't work.
Most people are just concerned about economic and social issues, and the implications this proposal has on freedom of speech and what that means to democracy seems to be unknown to most.
In Portugal, this proposal was not debated nor was it present on most parties' electoral agendas. Furthermore, I got no replies from the MEP candidates I emailed about their opinion on chatcontrol. Even if I wanted to vote accordingly to this proposal, I simply couldn't.
From an ethical perspective, tech monopolies aren't a very good idea. However, from a purely economics standpoint, tech giants make up a not insignificant part of the US's GDP.
Yes, but the part that got me was the halving of the result followed by the clamping. SIMD generally makes sense, but for something like this to exist usually there's something very specific (like a certain video codec, for example) that greatly benefits from such a complex instruction.
But charging through many ports requires extra circuitry to support more power on every port, while booting from multiple ports just requires the boot sequence firmware to talk to more than one USB controller (like PC motherboards do, for example)
