bschne: according to the title, I believe this should link here: https://www.lighterra.com/papers/modernmicroprocessors/

hashtag-til: This is the kind of website that needs to come back! No "cookies bs", ads everywhere, "plz sign up to my mailing list", "share your location", "comment where are you from", "buy my ebook", subscribe, share.

Pay08: I've recently come across a language learning website that was nothing but HTML and a very light bit of CSS. It was beautiful.

alberto_ol: link?

Pay08: I should specify, it was explicitly for Hungarian.

AtlasBarfed: You forgot notifications

appplication: Ah, HungarianText Markup Language.

Pay08: I meant the website. It's http://www.hungarianreference.com.

kkkqkqkqkqlqlql: Still has a gigantic blocking ad on mobile

Pay08: Who isn't using an adblocker these days?

MarkusQ: I'm still waiting for the update that explains why, after going from clock speed to FLOPS, etc. (which I understood) we suddenly started measuring processing power in GW. It makes as much sense as measuring automotive motors in decibels.

hephaes7us: Speaking in terms of GW makes sense when we are discussing performance of an individual datacenter since power is, kind of, the limiting factor.Also, FLOPs per watt hasn't changed as much lately, so thinking in terms of watts over a few-year time horizon does at least give you a ballpark of how many FLOPs.If you're talking about a chip, you obviously want to know about FLOPs moreso, but, even down to the level of individual rack-units, wattage is a serious concern. Not every facility is built for these crazy 200kW racks.

hashtag-til: You're right. I can't edit it now but follow me for more content like this. /s
