Ha. Sounds a lot like the one 10x vs. predictable mediocre guys with a scaffolding of processes. Aim high and hit or miss or try to grind predictably and continuously. Same with humans and depends on the loss you can afford.

That chip was hitting a sweet spot in terms of DRAM controller and distributing memory bandwidth between CPU cores and fabric. Xilinx was very afraid of screwing this up and running into bottlenecks. One of the best balanced chips in that regard with a great controller. Your best bet still was to keep everything in blockram as much as possible and only read and write DRAM once at every end of the computation...

You could also collect thrown away disposable vapes and pierce them with a nail. Heat for free...

I gave it the ending of Molly Bloom's Monologue and it went "confused" ;). But Joyce wanted it to be the most positive ending possible. Hm.

For a while and a certain mood, Ostkreuz's album "Motor" worked shockingly well and I coded like in the most focused flow ever...

How does the age of the camera influence physics? The only thing that really helps would be increasing the aperture.

Newer backside illuminated sensors have better quantum efficiency and are sensitive to a greater fraction of the light hitting the sensor thanks to the lack of electronics physically blocking the photosites. Not to mention advances in read noise and other stuff (less relevant for high end CMOS sensors for short exposures, which are shot noise dominated, but still).

Lower noise sensors and better image stabilization for longer exposures

3.0 to server 2008 which makes that period 18 years.

Microsoft Office abandoned the normal Win32 UI conventions for the Ribbon interface before 2008.

Office 2007 introduced it, then it was implemented in Windows Live Essentials suite and in W7 applications. If I'm not mistaken LibreOffice got it not so long ago but with a different name to avoid any problems.

That is why I cheated a bit, they were introduced with Windows Server 2012... ;)

For me, Windows 2000 was peak Microsoft UI.

Does that mean, you can also _remove_ AI with one line? What is holding you back?

lol

But why? I just replaced my Huawei P20 after eight years and only because nobody cares about app sizes and compatibility.

Because the phones stop working well? I write part of a post, open another tab to go look up some information, come back to the post and what I've written is gone, because the memory got dumped. That's the reality of using an old cheap phone.

And would you consider yourself representative of the phone-buying public in general?

My desktop PC is from 2008 but I'd never consider this to represent anything like common usage. In fact it's so unusual that I get to point it out in posts like this.

You just answered your own question.

There's also the issue of phones occasionally getting broken, of course.

It is pretty insane to have an 800MB app where you need to create an account, just to be able to change two settings on a DJI microphone.
