Does anyone know more about the Linux scheduler? Like, how does it behave when some tasks are pinned to certain cores while others are not? Does other tasks naturally tend to stay away from those "reserved" cores?

I would appreciate any resources on this topic. It's interesting.

I always wondered why my 3900X with 64 MB of cache performs so much worse than a 5700X3D with 96 MB of cache. It's only ⅓ more cache, after all.

Well, `lstopo` had the answer. The cache is split into 4 chunks (CCXs), so a single thread only really has 16 MB of cache available.

I actually managed to gain a few FPS through isolating a group of cores that share an L3 cache by manually setting CPU affinity.

Hello friends!
I am currently trying to learn how #hardware works.
Any beginner friendly tips/advice?
Thanks <3

I'm thinking 32GB/512GB in a Dell or a Thinkpad, but there are a myriad models I'm not sure sure why one with similar specs is $800 more than another. Any recommendations on sub-$1000 USD laptop for Linux? 2/2

I was thinking about getting a Framework 13 or a Macbook Air for tinkering and light development primarily on the couch in the evenings. I think I'd prefer to run Linux more than macOS at this point, but I can't see it unless the cost is also several hundred less. I'm okay with last generation and refurbished. (If I need more power I'll ssh to something else.) 1/2

Do you still buy paper books for technical books? (boost for wider range)

“When implementing an AI strategy, #companies have to look at all these aspects to find the best fit for their needs. This is harder than it sounds. A business’s decision on how to #deploy AI is very different to choosing a static #technology stack to be rolled out across an entire organisation in an identical way.

Businesses have yet to understand that a successful #AIStrategy is “no longer a #tech decision made in a tech department about #hardware”, says #MackenzieHowe, co-founder of #Atheni, an AI strategy #consultant. As a result, she says, nearly *three-quarters of #AI rollouts do not give any return on investment*.”

#PlannedObsolescence in terms of #Software and #Hardware is bad.

Cuz if people can play the original #Game they bought x years back and continue playing it then they won't buy the full-priced #remaster!

Basically instead of "#LiveService" we also have "#DeadService" to kill good games!

Post-quantum crypto resists quantum computers, not physical attacks.

On July 10, we're live with PQShield to show how side-channel and fault injection techniques still break schemes like ML-KEM, and how to protect your implementations.
