I admire Fabrice Bellard. He is almost certainly a better overall programmer than I am.

@modretro Please extend your mission to other hardware, there is a need for a mod retro mp3 player, monkey proof like the chromatic. This is the way!, for us and our kids and our future grandchildren. Thank you, I ll support you on your awesome ❤️

@Cyber_Trailer Yeah it may seem clever to someone who hasn’t used a Tesla yet, not having to touch your car to open the charging port is next level clever design. 😎👌

@lauriewired Congrats! Sub for a couple of years now. Love the fresh perspectives, insightful passionate content, top notch!👌😎

@lucaronin Don’t think so, it will be recognized as a mistake, heads will roll over this.

@cleoabram Sorry, not buying your sales pitch, don’t really get why you would create the illusion of being a sellout this way either, this doesn’t come over as genuine and reeks of an advertisement packaged as an interview. Feels to me this will backfire on your reputation Cleo.

@rsg The interior looks nice, the outside should loose the outer shell, underneath it looks like the car from the future.

I have been very impressed by @SemiAnalysis_ . I think of myself as a wide ranging systems engineer, looking for value at every level from the chip specs to the user interface, but SA exposes me to additional levels of "the system", both above (datacenters) and below (semiconductor fabrication). It probably puts me in "just knows enough to be dangerous" territory.

Neat things I learned today:

Some of the 800VDC datacenter design choices leverage parts commoditized by electric vehicles.

There is now a SiC MOSFET that can operate on 10kV electricity, opening up the possibility of working directly with medium (ha!) voltage AC power transmission lines without stepping down.

@Figure_robot As much as I love robotics, taxes should be paid if the humanoid does a real human job and if it does multiple shifts, that are multiple real jobs. Also contribute to a fund for every role that is replaced this way. This the only way to coexist, without human retaliation. MMW

@MarioNawfal The outside looks like a playmobil toy.

@MarioNawfal Mu design looks better already. Lol!

Dont like this at all.

Researchers at KIT (germany) just demonstrated that ordinary WiFi routers can identify individuals with near-perfect accuracy.

No phone required, no special hardware, no line of sight. The system reads unencrypted beamforming feedback that every connected device already broadcasts. 197 test subjects, nearly 100% identification rate.

The surveillance infrastructure isn't being built. It's already installed in every café, airport, and office you walk through. The only question is who starts reading the signals first. Source: science daily

Pouca gente sabe mas a Fuji não faz apenas câmeras e filmes. Ela também domina o mercado de máquinas para circuitos integrados. Esse modelo clássico CP-643 com 20 cabeças trabalha em um ritmo insano de 40 mil componentes por hora para criar as placas de circuito dos eletrônicos.

I just can’t get over how neat CXL type 3 is.

Imagine having a 1TB bucket of memory.

But! Instead of 1TB of DDR5, you have a tiered CXL accelerator. To the OS, it *looks* like regular memory, you address it in the same way.

Maybe your accelerator is actually 100GB of DDR5, and ~1TB of high bandwidth flash. The first 100GB is your buffer, and a little controller slowly flushes it out.

Many, many workloads are not hammering RAM enough for you to notice.

Wait! You could get even more clever.

With regular memory, bouncing cachelines between CPU cores is annoying. Often, you’ll program your way around this (avoiding a shared counter) by having each thread maintain a temporary local state with occasional global syncs.

But, if we have a custom CXL 3 memory device, that slow global merge could be implemented in hardware instead. You’d never have to have cores fight over the same cacheline, because the shared-counter would be local to the CXL device!

Aka, a remote atomic!

This is essentially the concept of NDP (near-data processing), and of course there are much, much more fancy algorithms you can do with it, that’s just one example. But you can imagine, especially with database-style operations, how much bandwidth you could save not having to round-trip to the CPU and back for every operation.

Imagine if your RAM could run a regex for you! We’re getting really close to that world.

@cryptogoos I sure do hope so, the current dram pricing is destroying the personal computer space at breakneck speed.
