Ööö (uhhh), not really.

they’ll need to use twice as many chips, which could mean doubling the bus width (one can dream) to 512 bit (ala 5900)

I misread this part, thinking you implied a bus width increase is necessary.

For a 512 bit memory bus, AMD would either have to use 1+8 dies if they follow the 7900XTX scheme or have a monolithic behemoth like GB102. The former would have increased power draw but lower manufacturing costs, while the latter is more power efficient and more prone to defects as it's getting close to the aperture size limit.

I'd guess nvidia will soon have to switch to chiplet based GPUs. Maybe AMD stopped (for now?) because not their whole product stack was using chiplet based designs so they had way less flexibility with allocation and binning than with ryzen chiplets.

Clamshell design. RX 7900XTX 24GB | PRO W7900 48GB

Same GPU, same 384 bit bus.

NACK-ing rust at version 8 of the patchset is kind of a dick move. The 7 others were fine before? Ridiculous that Linus didn't step in in a definitive way.

Chapo.chat has the same access problem that led to the current state of hexbear.net so it is to be considered temporary.

Industrial diamonds are pretty useful for cutting.

We are in "free fall" around the Sun so that's why we don't feel its pull of gravity.

You would similarly feel weightless if you were in an orbit around Earth.

Remember having to use (a modified version of?) quincy for C. Trying to paste anything would put random characters into your file.

Still beats programming on paper.

Ice crystals can and do rupture cells. But it's not a good method to disinfect as a lot depends on the freezing rate resulting in different crystal sizes.

No, you just get a new set growing in the gums.

After the failed nazi coup in Austria, a referendum was organized to democratically decide whether to join Germany or not. But one day before the referendum, German troops marched in. The referendum was changed and postponed a month. Threats and coercion were employed to manipulate the vote, resulting in 99% approval for the Anschluss. While the population's true opinions are unknown, it has been estimated that about 70% of Austrians would have voted to preserve Austrian independence.

In hindsight it is obvious to us what was going on.
