Intel Patents 'Software Defined Supercore'

news.ycombinator.com Anton Shilov 2025-10-24 14:44:56

Intel has patented a technology it calls 'Software Defined Supercore' (SDC) that enables software to fuse the capabilities of multiple cores to assemble a virtual ultra-wide 'supercore' capable of improving single-thread performance, provided that it has enough parallel work. If the technology works as it is designed to, then Intel's future CPUs could offer faster single-thread performance in select applications that can use SDC. For now, this is just a patent which may or may not become a reali

Ports, price, performance, or support: What trumps all on a Google TV streaming box?

Joe Maring / Android Authority 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. Purchasing a TV streaming box is more daunting than choosing a new smartphone. With modern handsets, buying one that simply sucks is a rarity.

The Qweremin

The Qweremin I invented a new instrument: The Qweremin is a qwerty theremin. Background In the summer of 2022 I built a C64-based theremin, described and explained here. The theremin, of course, is one of the oldest electronic instruments. Its main drawback—and strength—is that it's incredibly hard to master. The performer has ultimate control over volume and pitch, but it takes months of practice before you can play even a simple scale. Meanwhile, I've also developed a line of instruments f

Why countries trade with each other while fighting

news.ycombinator.com Peter Dizikes 2025-10-21 08:58:28

In World War II, Britain was fighting for its survival against German aerial bombardment. Yet Britain was importing dyes from Germany at the same time. This sounds curious, to put it mildly. How can two countries at war with each other also be trading goods? Examples of this abound, actually. Britain also traded with its enemies for almost all of World War I. India and Pakistan conducted trade with each other during the First Kashmir War, from 1947 to 1949, and during the India-Pakistan War of

CarPlay Ultra could soon land on an affordable EV after luxury car debut

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-10-24 18:40:32

CarPlay Ultra arrived this year after taking a bit longer than expected to materialize. The only catch is that next-generation CarPlay is only offered in cars that start around $200,000. That appears to be changing soon with an affordable EV option coming soon. Apple CarPlay is super popular in cars these days, and CarPlay Ultra goes further than ever by taking over almost all of the carmaker’s user interface.

Growing Up on Alcatraz

On a gray May morning — that’s to say a typical San Francisco May morning — in 2014, my mother, my wife, and I convened at Pier 33 to ride to Alcatraz, along with a literal boatload of tourists. But we were on a secret mission. Hours earlier, before leaving the Peninsula, I had opened the box containing my father’s ashes and portioned out perhaps a pint of the coarse, bone-white powder.

U.K. law now requires pornography websites to verify their users’ ages through means such as face scans and driver’s licenses; it also requires that online platforms prevent children from being exposed to adult content (which is why sites like Bluesky and Reddit have begun checking some users’ ages).
