Pony! Its actor based, with a really interesting type system

Taco Bell may not be the hero we want, but having a trademark on “Taco Tuesday” is insane and I’m glad they won

I’m gonna bet a lot of it is business. They could use a risc-v core, but that could require a lot more in-house expertise. Paying arm for a license also means you get a lot of support from arm on integration, performance, etc

It’s clear we can’t have a conversation if you think theres no difference between x86 and arm lol

If you have an iPad and a little money to spend, Shapr3D is an excellent CAD app

You don’t understand what microcode is, it’s not a magic spell that can hide all problems of an instruction set.

The goalpost never moved, you just didn’t understand what we were talking about :)

Why are you so confident about a subject you clearly know nothing about?

x86 could always compete in raw performance, but never in efficiency. If we were to compare two hypothetical cpus on the same node size, one arm and one x86, that can both run a program at the same speed; I guarantee you the arm one will use less power.

We can argue the pros and cons of x86 vs arm all day long but suggesting that the choice isn’t impactful is just wrong.

Oh boy!

Yes there are a lot of factors that make the M series chips so impressive and their incredibly small node size (which is what they get from tsmc) is one of them. The choice of arm is another huge one.

And of course the kicker is that none of these cpus actually run x86 or arm. Haven't done for decades, the machine code is compiled down to a chip specific bytecode at execution time. Bloat isn't a problem because the cpu doesn't run x86.

Are you talking about microcode? Because that is not at all analogous to compilation. I don’t think you have a good grasp of the hardware that you’re talking about.

At the end of the day, the processor does still “run x86”. The implementation detail of most instructions being microcoded doesn’t change that. The x86 isa is large, complex, and old. It has compatibility decisions that date back all the way to the Datapoint 2200.

Okay buddy, stay ignorant

Well yes, but not just because they’re cheaper. x86 is ancient and bloated. Computers could be just as fast but use way less power with a more modern ISA like Arm

The future is Arm!

It’s a storage unit company, so presumably they have their own moving service or often connect people with other moving services. They’d be able to see the trend

Oh wow, TIL! I guess I'm not surprised, consumer GPS is kneecapped at a lower accuracy for similar reasons

Do I need a background check to buy a CNC? Or a lathe?

Sounds like hairpin NAT. Don’t worry, the traffic never leaves your network

Yup! Its been a bit since I did Windows administration, but you’ll want to look at sysprep
