When some rando with a mod package plugging into an undocumented ABI can dramatically improve the performance... Yeah, it's not optimized at all. Don't let them excuse themselves from due diligence.
We either need to rename Uranus to the traditional spelling of Ouranos to stop all this childish teasing, or we need to lean in harder and have the Onion get final edit on every single scientific publication on that planet.
Im missing a lot of charm that w2 and first starcraft games had, and i did not see any open engine recreations, nor clones that lived to this day. With warcraft 3 i only ever finished half of the game, by the time sc2 came out, i was already too old to even bother trying.
I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it.

I'm a software sales engineer. I was a systems administrator that learned a really in demand product front to back, and incidentally had good people skills and presentation skills. The company contacted me when I left that job and I joined on.

I mean, there's intelligent, sapient, conscious, instinctive... It's a multi-dimensional spectrum. The problem with trying to label things and put them in boxes (which we instinctively do as a species...) is that we tend to ignore evidence that doesn't fit into a box neatly.
We'll have to see. Usually transistor count isn't a valid measure of performance unless the chips have identical clock, IPC, and architecture. It's possible they made the same chip on two different lithographies with the same clocks, but it's pretty rare.
But... boost clocks often directly impact performance? And why only increase boost clocks when after a lithography switch they'd gain so much headroom? Seems a weird place to draw a line in the sand.
But all of this is speculation. What we do know is that RAM speeds are increased, and that will directly impact performance with or without CPU improvements.
Single nm in this case is a 15% improvement. The number of nm isn't the important part.
And Valve isn't Nintendo. Their hardware strategies, developer strategies, and manufacturing strategies are wildly different and really shouldn't be directly compared
What can Euclid do that the James Webb Space Telescope cannot?
Where Webb can observe extremely far back in time and zoom into the details, Euclid can go fast and wide. In a single observation Euclid can record the data from an area of the sky more than one hundred times bigger than that imaged by Webb’s camera, NIRCam. This means that Euclid can map a third of the sky to the required sensitivity in six years in space – a feat that would be impossible with Webb.
Don't besmirch Red Hat this way. Red Hat is as dead as Sun Microsystems at this point. They're just being Weekend at Bernie's-ed by IBM. Despite IBMs promise of independent operation and business as usual.
Red Hat is gone. The leadership, vision, people, and culture that made Red Hat Red Hat are gone. IBM has completely taken over internally. Red Hat's logo is being paraded around to keep people complacent due to their former reputation.
Stop trying to address the root cause of thie actual issue and humanizing these people. You need to act performativly OUTRAGED and have a moral panic fueled by your repressed sexuality!!1!

Best depiction of highly advanced space combat I've read is in The Culture series. Extraordinarily brutal, measured in milliseconds and hundreds of kilometers apart at minimum, but usually more like AU apart.
There's one scene where a human(ish) woman is aboard a true warship during a near-equivalent tech engagement. The human is strapped down, armored, and pumped full of exotic nanite foams just to survive the momentum changes, and has to have the combat played back to her over minutes to understand what happened.
I'd say its fairly realistic within it's own world building, but that world building is supposed to represent a type 2 civilization in it's prime, capable of manipulating higher dimensions, so not hard scifi.
