    [Trial] Regarding Reddit Spam Filter on the subreddit

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 09:57 PM PST

    As you might know, recently Reddit turnt all its subreddit's spam filter to high, which resulted in a lot of unusual removal towards even legitimate links like many tech website and youtube.

    Effective immediately, we'll be turning down the spam filter back down to low to see whether there'll be any surge of post spam. If the trial shows that its just fine, we'll keep the spam filter on low permanently.

    If there's any post thats still not showing up, please either report / modmail us directly to see whats going on.

    In theory, could you make a very cold, but very underpowered CPU with today's tech?

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 01:45 PM PST

    So it's a well-known fact that CPUs get very, very hot - and as tech marches on, they remain very very hot. But in theory, could someone make a CPU that is in tech terms very outdated, but in temperature terms very very cool?

    [DISCUSSION] Which battery tech claims have actually been put into production?

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 04:20 AM PST

    Seems like every year we are getting the battery news of this battery can charge in 1 minute, lasts a whole year, and thinner than a piece of paper yet none materializes.

    That being said, I think there have been a lot of improvements in batteries compared to what we had 10-20 years ago. Cellphones have 5000 mAh now, while back then, you'd be lucky to get 1/4 of that.

    Phones with bulging battery were also a lot more common back then, while newer iPhones in general have never, or at least very rarely get bulging battery.

    So, what are the battery improvements from the last 10-20 years, and if you happen to know, how was the technology hyped back then?

    Was it hyped as being thinner than a piece of paper?

    [Discussion] Won't Apple's next chips be absolutely huge?

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 05:56 AM PST

    I've been thinking about Apple's bigger chips that were leaked a week ago, and when imagining the die sizes, I can't make the numbers work in any way where they won't be absurdly huge.

    The M1 is ~120mm, which doesn't sound like an insane amount until you realize how dense TSMC 5nm is. Adjusting for the much higher 5nm density, M1 ends up in the same ballpark as the two CCD and the IOD in the 5950X combined - mind you, that's not an entirely fair CPU-to-CPU comparison, since the M1 is a system-on-a-chip with other stuff in the package like the integrated GPU and the RAM, but it does set the general tone that the M1 is already huge for a chip, and even moreso for an entry-level laptop chip.

    The leaks from last week seemed to indicate that we'd see a chip with 16 big CPU cores and 32 integrated GPU cores (of 128 ALUs each) in 1H2021, a 400% increase over M1 in both cases. Looking at Anandtech's breakdown of the M1, the big CPU cores, the integrated GPU and the SLC cache for the two make up around 40% of the chip, so scaling up only these by 4x would give a chip size of at least 264mm on TSMC 5nm, equivalent to 390mm on TSMC 7nm EUV or 1039mm on Intel 14nm. That's absolutely huge for a (with the exception of RAM) monolithic chip, and even moreso for something that's expected to go in a high-end laptop and not a server/HEDT desktop. This is a low-balling scale-up too, since there's probably other things that Apple will want/have to scale up too, although the RAM potentially going off-package might compensate for that in the total chip size.

    This is before we even get to the rumored 32 big core CPU, or the 128 core GPU, which were expected later. Am I missing something, or are these chips just going to be unprecedentedly huge for the higher-end personal user market?

    How are instructions per clock measured on processors?

    Posted: 14 Dec 2020 11:47 AM PST

    Given pipelining, branch prediction, and differences in instruction time between simple and complex instructions (add vs. multiply), it doesn't seem like there is a concrete number to refer to. Additionally the type of program can affect which instructions get called and how well pipelining/branch prediction works. What is a fair way of assessing instructions per clock?
