FCNTX


FCNTX has given me about 450% growth since 2011. Pretty stable & steady, but these days I think I’d just go with QQQ.


question is DOES OLIVE OIL HAVE THIS COMPOUND? HOW MUCH?


> And while [beneficial compound] naturally occurs in olive oil and mature olive fruit, the researchers note that its concentration in those sources is most likely too low to deliver these metabolic benefits.


I'm really sure that drinking olive oil increases bodyweight, not decreases it.


well I wouldn't be so sure. if you cook with it or add it to dishes (not drink it on its own, who would do that) it certainly has beneficiary effects and it is less of a cause for weight gain than all carbs.


very cool, also the coding style looks good.


Yes, he was first like, we're totally doing this on AMD! A few weeks later he's like wtf@#! this is the buggiest thing ever


"it’s not that hard for a customer to get their software working on a competing hardware platform and cut out a bunch of Nvidia’s enormous markup"

Agree and yet none of the contenders were able to work out their software play (Intel, AMD, chip startups) for more than a year which shows how corporates move slow.

Google is not selling their TPUs AFAIK and their tooling is completely focused on internal use.

So really interesting to see no one else is properly addressing the need even though they have chips (and the chip itself is much simpler than a cpu, a systolic matrix multiplier array).


I’m not taking about the chip suppliers moving fast. I’m talking about the users. For example, here’s Stability pulling it off:

I’m sure this was a lot of work, and Intel surely helped a lot, and there are probably plenty of kludges involved. But it worked, and there’s a lot of money on the table to do things like this.


It all depends on whether fortune 500 can improve their business processes using AI. It seems like it is able to do so, which translates to vast numbers of AI chips being sold in the next 1-5 years.


Don't waste time fixing superiors or whoever you work with, you are not in this world to correct those people, try and join another functional organization.

One option is to bring up those todo items that are not getting done. You aren't necessarily in personal conflict by explaining their priority and the fact that they are not getting done.

There is also a very likely possibility you should think of, that sometimes the director sees the big picture and what you think is important is actually lower priority.

If you considered paragraph 2 and 3 and they don't help, do the first one.


It is not open source. The source code is open but with an evaluation, i.e. proprietary license:

https://github.com/azure-rtos/threadx/blob/master/LICENSE.tx...


With the odd provision that you can only ship the software on certain devices:

https://github.com/azure-rtos/threadx/blob/master/LICENSED-H...


Article author/submitter here.

This is out of date; the announcement was only days ago, which is why I wrote TFA, and they've not updated the licence files on Github yet.


there is a lot of money made (100m paid users?) by everyone and momentum so groupthink is forced to occur kind of.


this is already done by libraries and how new instructions are leveraged on cores that have them. During init a library checks availability of instructions and sets function pointers to relevant routines.


Yeah, and you could set the process cpu masks at init time in your own code and do the equivalent. Hell, Intel could add that init step as a flag for their compiler.

As mentioned elsewhere, I'm not sure this is hardware design being forced to adapt due to software implementation difficulties, so much as avx512 as a whole may not be worth the hardware area going forward. Even on the larger cores.
