That's "Extended ASCII", basic ASCII only has upper and lowercase latin characters and things like <, =, >, and ?

And probably half of the control codes are still used, mostly in their original form too, teletype systems. They're just virtual these days.

We saw this with Blackwell Ultra. Ian Buck, VP of Accelerated Computing business unit at Nvidia, told us in an interview they actually nerfed the chip's double precision (FP64) tensor core performance in exchange for 50% more 4-bit FLOPS.

Whether this is a sign that FP64 is on its way out at Nvidia remains to be seen, but if you really care about double-precision grunt, AMD's GPUs and APUs probably should be at the top of your list anyway.

So focused on LLMs that they're hindering performance of general-purpose compute, going to be real great when people realise LLMs don't really do anything and are left with piles of useless hardware.

I like to imagine Gibbs just unplugged the monitor.

There’s a scene in The World Is Not Enough where James Bond shoots a powered parachute in the wing and we hear engine struggling sounds.

I know the exact scene you're talking about, but you're misremembering. He doesn't shoot it, he skis on it.

And then presumably dies from the hard landing as he broke the fall with his legs.

True, but at the same time it's their app. They already know what profiles you're looking at, what posts you're viewing, and the images you view, knowing what links you're clicking on is just another event handler.

Then you have to scan every single existing known post every time a new link is blocked, if you redirect it through a bouncer it's a single endpoint to block any link, regardless of the source of the post (since bluesky is in theory decentralized)

They already know your IP address, you're using their website/app.

It's either to track outbound clicks (And potentially block them if they're harmful, YouTube and Steam do that), or a much more unlikely option is to hide the referrer from the target site (Since browsers have better ways to handle that now, but old ones don't)

It's more "smallweb" oriented, but there's also Marginalia Search, independent index, operated out of Sweden, no ads, and warns about sites that use JS and include trackers.

A place I worked at did it by duplicating and modifying a function, then commenting out the existing one. The dev would leave their name and date each time, because they never deleted the old commented out functions of course, history is important.

They'd also copy the source tree around on burnt CDs, so good luck finding out who had the latest copy at any one point (Hint: It was always the lead dev, because they wouldn't share their code, so "merging to main" involved giving them a copy of your source tree on a burnt disk)

I mean, that's just plastic in general, it's also why you shouldn't reheat food in plastic containers because it can leach chemicals out of it.

Completely baseless assumption, but if there's enough chemicals leaching from the containers into your food, you'd be able to taste it and wouldn't be ingesting it to begin with.

It's apparently their most asked question, it has top billing in their FAQ.
