imo there should be a requirement for the gov to tell you within a reasonable time period (a year?) whenever a search warrant is granted for your data. currently there is no ability to check the government because you never learn that you were searched.
AMD unfortunately didn't actually get faster this gen. panther lake is faster than zen5 mobile for both cpu and GPU (except for workloads where avx512 matters)
Yes it was a bit weird how the latest generation AMD laptop chip was a sideways step. I blame the useless NPU wasting silicon, but what do I know.
I still got it as it was better than Intel's last year's offering, and it's still a fine chip. But kind of highlights how good the previous 7000 series chip was.
it's worth noting that the neo is running at 3W compared to 15W for the i5. Just putting an $8 thermal pad on the neo gives you a 20-30% perf improvement by letting it run 5W continuous.
the normal way to do that is by hiring/firing to meet demand, but in the fab business, you have 10s of billions of dollars of capex with relatively little opex. if you're running at <90% capacity, you're losing money.
That is the common way, but there are companies that manage without hiring/firing. (or they hire temp workers). There is a minimum level of capacity you need to run just to keep the lights on, and figuring out how to get that low without impacting your ability to serve the highs is hard. Memory manufactures have not gotten very low, probably for good reasons, but it is something they should work on.
turns and degrees are both basically fine. radiens are a bit of a mess because taking remainder mod pi really sucks, but radiens end up being much more natural or you need too do calculus, so oh well...
