FTA: "...which enables Intel to keep three of them for redundancy and get decent yields with an 88-core part."

This must be a typo, right? I don't think Intel is the fab or involved in this CPU at all.


They are talking specifically about ARM cores designed by and licensable from ARM Holdings (the company), not other designs that don't use ARM's designs (like the Apple silicon).


They repeatedly compare to Intel and AMD cores though, which are x86. If they’re worth a mention, then so are some of the other ARM consumer desktop chips on the market regardless of who designed them. Apple was one of the closest ARM chips they could have compared to.

Your “specifically ARM cores designed by and licensable from ARM Holdings” argument doesn’t hold any water.



Might it make sense for doctors or pharmaceutical companies, in some cases, to intentionally utilize grapefruit to increase absorption of certain drugs? Specifically expensive ones? Especially in the cases where the patients aren't prescribed other drugs that may interact with grapefruit.


Oh my god! Why such a long-winded product review/ complaint story with 65 upvotes? Jesus.


Is that one of the girls at the nearby dancing camp that played in the ash fallout and died?


If you're curious the linked article has pretty much all the infomation available.

It was written by Alex Wellerstein,

  a historian of science and nuclear weapons and a professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology. 
who has likely looked over almost all the unclassified US bomb test material, read a substantial amount of it, and at various time has had access to classified portions.

The article has three addendum, updates as more information came to light about the name of dancer, the photographer, the article series that was published, etc.

It's bound to more informative than anything I could tell you given I'm in AU not the US and know somewhat more about Emu Field and the Montebello's than I do about Yucca Flat.


Remember the movie Welcome to Marwen (2018)?


"Southern states like California and Arizona..." LOL.


What's up with the letter spacing on that blog? It looks bad.


Softbank has literally done this before. Several years ago, Softbank sold it's Nvidia stake and later regretted it to such an extent that Masayoshi Son expressed his feelings by crying. They're only selling Nvidia stock now to fulfill a prior giant cash commitment to OpenAI. Also, Nvidia is positioned to own a sizeable chunk of OpenAI.


I was just thinking that they must be selling because they need the cash...
