That reminds me of when I visited Vienna many years. I went to the information counter at the train station. I didn't want to be rude and presume the information person spoke English. So, I asked if he spoke English. His bemused reply was "Yes, I speak English and 7 other other languages".

Having a GPU is better than not having one, even if doesn't having tensor cores.

If you are on a tight budget, his advice is to pick in this order:

> I have little money: Buy used cards. Hierarchy: RTX 2070 ($400), RTX 2060 ($300), GTX 1070 ($220), GTX 1070 Ti ($230), GTX 1650 Super ($190), GTX 980 Ti (6GB $150).

How do you sync your local vaults across different machines?

Swan has only been CEO for 18 months. Renduchintala has been charge of technology group including fabs for 5 years.

Maybe the other way around. Your link says Qube came out in 1998. The G4 Cube came out in 2000.

What is EA?

"The EA movement has a ton of programmers ..."

TB3 is an optional part of the USB4 spec.

It's very likely that Apple will support USB4/TB3.

AMD’s supply issues have improved significantly since Apple is moving from 7nm to 5nm this year. AMD is now TSMC’s top 7nm customer.

Using it 12/7 was enough for me for me to be become proficient. ;)

Re: tree named streets were converted to numbered streets

I came to the same conclusion by looking at the maps in the article and looking for the Avenue Hotel. You can it is at the corner of Congress and Hickory St.

Hickory St (now 8th St) is 3 blocks south of the Capitol.

I guess at some point the tree named streets were converted to numbered streets.

It is illegal in Ontario. From the Ontario Highway Traffic Act:

Are you sure you use T495s?

T495s -> max 16 GB T495 -> max 32 GB.

I use the T495s and it is a great laptop. It is slighter thinner/lighter than the T495.

I don’t see a “MacBook” for sale on the Apple Store. Did you mean MacBook Air Retina or MacBook Pro 13”?

I wouldn’t buy these until they update the keyboard.

Wikichip is neutral. I follow David Schor on Twitter and his coverage of the semiconductor industry is both informative and unbiased.

Btw, here’s the full paragraph from Wikichip: “All in all, WikiChip is happy to see Intel remains committed to furthering Moore’s Law for the foreseeable future with an ambitious roadmap. It remains to be seen whether Intel can execute on this roadmap.”

Why not Perl 10 or Perl X?

My HP-28S still works after 30 years. The battery door is missing a corner but it still works!

I didn't know this was a common problem.

These days I mostly use PCALC on my iPhone. I like the ability to customize the number displayed lines from 4 up to 8. There's free version too : PCALC Lite

I do use local-only RSS. I am still running an ancient version of Netnewswire (maybe 2.0). So, I do appreciate that option.

Physicists do have a problem with it.

Sabine Hossedfelder also discusses it in her book Lost in Math.

Two books on the subject are reviewed in the Booklab podcast, episode 20:

Quantum physics has been with us for more than 100 years – but what is it actually telling us about the world?

Wearables, Home and Accessories category had quarterly sales of $5.5B.

That's a lot of nobodies.

(compared to Mac $5.8B, iPad $5.0B)

Maybe I am missing something here, but Excel can already import a PDF and convert it into a table.

Also Excel recently added the ability to scan an image and convert to a table.

Keyboard is a big difference.

I got 11/13. It helped that I recently did a study of education vs gender vs country development using Worldbank data for a data analytics course.

(Interesting result : in many regions women have high rates of post secondary education than men.)

Some get around this by ordering bison - totally different species ...

See Geekbench database. The ones with high scores seem to have memory around 2100/4200

For example : https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/13481225

Single-Core Score Multi-Core Score 6178 56017

Memory 65536 MB DDR4 SDRAM 2101MHz

Name Intel Core i9-9980XE

Try PCalc. Not sure about time calculation support. If you email the developer, James Thomson, maybe he'll add it.

(I requested > 4 vertical lines a while back and he added it)

What do you expect with the 10nm CPUs?

I didn't notice any condescension in the article. I thought it was fairly positive towards the mission. Also, India was mentioned in the article.

Here’s some related material:

"It turns out that [amyloid-beta proteins] form [plaques] because they're trying to help us. They're trying to fight an infection," said Robert Moir, an assistant professor of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital.

"The Alzheimer's disease dementia that comes after years of this battle, are something like collateral damage from their actions. But it's not that it's intrinsically bad what they're doing. It's just that if you keep doing it for long enough the amyloid that is generated in this battle starts to become a problem in itself."

If this theory, which Moir outlines in a review article published in the December issue of the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia, proves true, it could mean researchers' current strategies to combat the disease — fighting the plaques — is misguided.
