They are bragging now, but by end of next Q4 their leads may have been largely diminished or evaporated.Ĭlick to expand.I wanted to ask you.with this Apple thing of scaling, from core design from A17 to the M family.how hard is for Apple to try to let or modify the clock freq based on the thermals that goes in it. There is going to be enough improvements of AMD/Intel stuff in that narrow subset of packages they are trying to cover now. If Qualcomm just took this die baseline and just moved it to N3E with some improvements to various subsystems that would be a more sane next move than to try to branch out into trying to cover more AMD/Intel stuff. If going after phones then likely will need some E-cores ( smaller footprint and power ), and that also will soak up resources that will limit die instance number creep. So there is lots of other places that they want to take these cores and likely only have a finite set of folks to do the work. Qualcomm talked alot about pushing these Oryon cores into phones SoC, XR headset SoCs, etc. Elite X gen 2 might be broader in number of physical dies. Qualcomm talked about that this is just the first generation. They might loose against AMD's upcoming 8000 updates that slap a much larger iGPU into the package, but I don't think that is going to be in the same price zone either. Most of the real competition is against Intel's iGPUs so they have health margin lead. I suspect that Qualcomm has probably stretched their iGPU pretty far and this will be as big as it gets. I don't think there is a Max coming at all. which for a M2 Max likely gets better performance. Also Qualcomm likely doesn't have the P-core clusters on as tight a bandwidth consumption limiter as Apple does ( Apple needs to save bandwidth space for their GPU. That is somewhat tractable if uses some highly optimized N4P versus Apple's trailing edge N5/N5P of M2. But if they choose to 'dial back' to the same constraints as Apple. So they designed something that ranges out further into the TDP consumption zone than Apple does. Their main competitive is the AMD/Intel which do. What Qualcomm is saying is that if you just want to get a score of 2,841 ( the lower score), they can do that at 30% less power than the M2 Max.įrom the diagrams is looks like Qualcomm's package will shot past where the Apple packages tend to top on power consumption. "not beating it" isn't really questionable. In the graph, their processor is getting a score of 3,227 which is this universe is a larger number than 2,841. That's pretty impressive for a 1st gen product. I knew Qualcomm would do fairly well on 1st gen and will likely take share away from AMD and Intel. Like I said, it's impressive for 1st gen though.ĭisclaimer: A bulk of my investment portfolio is Apple stocks with a tiny bit of Qualcomm stock. There's no doubt that Qualcomm wanted to do this press release before M3 otherwise, they'd look stupid comparing it to M2. If Apple is more aggressive with clocks, I could see 3,700. Therefore, one can reasonably expect M3 Max to reach a 3,500 ST score at minimum. ![]() Right now, PC makers compete with Apple Silicon by over-prescribing RAM/SSD to create more value and use more expensive Nvidia GPUs - all of which eats into their profit margins.Ī17 Pro is 26% faster ST than A15. Quite honestly, PC makers desperately need this to have any decent competition with Apple Silicon. It's still impressive for a 1st gen product and should take some market share away from Intel/AMD. It will actually go up against M3, M3 Pro, M3 Max given that Apple is rumored to release them next week or Spring 2024. Are they using TDP? Average? Max? ISO power? However, it's not exactly clear how they're measuring power. Oryon CPU looks like an M2 Pro class product, not max. Also, they should probably be comparing to M2 Pro - not Max for ST. But to get the 3200 score, they might be using 30% more power than M2 Max. So if they downclock to get a 2800 score, it uses 30% less power than M2 Max. It says "matching" uses 30% less power - not beating it. Note that the Apple Silicon comparison is a little misleading. ![]()

He is often accompanied by his animal familiars-the wolves Geri and Freki and the ravens Huginn and Muninn, who bring him information from all over Midgard-and he rides the flying, eight-legged steed Sleipnir across the sky and into the underworld. Odin is frequently portrayed as one-eyed and long-bearded, wielding a spear named Gungnir or appearing in disguise wearing a cloak and a broad hat. Old Norse texts portray Odin as the son of Bestla and Borr along with two brothers, Vili and Vé, and he fathered many sons, most famously the gods Thor (with Jörð) and Baldr (with Frigg). These texts make up the bulk of modern understanding of Norse mythology. Forms of his name appear frequently throughout the Germanic record, although narratives regarding Odin are mainly found in Old Norse works recorded in Iceland, primarily around the 13th century. In Old English texts, Odin holds a particular place as a euhemerized ancestral figure among royalty, and he is frequently referred to as a founding figure among various other Germanic peoples, such as the Langobards, while some Old Norse sources depict him as an enthroned ruler of the gods. References to him appear in place names throughout regions historically inhabited by the ancient Germanic peoples, and the day of the week Wednesday bears his name in many Germanic languages, including in English.

In wider Germanic mythology and paganism, the god was also known in Old English as Wōden, in Old Saxon as Uuôden, in Old Dutch as Wuodan, in Old Frisian as Wêda, and in Old High German as Wuotan, all ultimately stemming from the Proto-Germanic theonym * Wōðanaz, meaning 'lord of frenzy', or 'leader of the possessed'. Norse mythology, the source of most surviving information about him, associates him with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet, and depicts him as the husband of the goddess Frigg. Odin ( / ˈ oʊ d ɪ n/ from Old Norse: Óðinn) is a widely revered god in Germanic paganism.

Indian Removal ActĨ Incredible Inventions of the Indigenous People of the AmericasĪndrew Jackson had long been an advocate of what he called “Indian removal.” As an Army general, he had spent years leading brutal campaigns against the Creeks in Georgia and Alabama and the Seminoles in Florida–campaigns that resulted in the transfer of hundreds of thousands of acres of land from Indian nations to white farmers.Īs president, he continued this crusade. As President Andrew Jackson noted in 1832, if no one intended to enforce the Supreme Court’s rulings (which he certainly did not), then the decisions would “…still born.” Southern states were determined to take ownership of Indian lands and would go to great lengths to secure this territory. Supreme Court objected to these practices and affirmed that native nations were sovereign nations “in which the laws of Georgia can have no force.”Įven so, the maltreatment continued. Several states passed laws limiting Native American sovereignty and rights and encroaching on their territory. State governments joined in this effort to drive Native Americans out of the South. They stole livestock burned and looted houses and towns committed mass murder and squatted on land that did not belong to them. Many of these whites yearned to make their fortunes by growing cotton, and often resorted to violent means to take land from their Indigenous neighbors. In Illinois and Wisconsin, for example, the bloody Black Hawk War in 1832 opened to white settlement millions of acres of land that had belonged to the Sauk, Fox and other native nations.īut the Native Americans’ land, located in parts of Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee, was valuable, and it grew to be more coveted as white settlers flooded the region. In the southeastern United States, many Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek and Cherokee people embraced these customs and became known as the “Five Civilized Tribes.”ĭid you know? Indian removal took place in the Northern states as well. ![]() The goal of this civilization campaign was to make Native Americans as much like white Americans as possible by encouraging them convert to Christianity, learn to speak and read English and adopt European-style economic practices such as the individual ownership of land and other property (including, in some instances in the South, enslaved persons). Some officials in the early years of the American republic, such as President George Washington, believed that the best way to solve this “Indian problem” was to simply “civilize” the Native Americans. June 11 Nadine Caban, 17, of Canarsie, Brooklyn, is killed when the car she’s riding on the fast-moving Super Himalaya at Coney Island lurches off the track and pins her against the ride’s wall.White Americans, particularly those who lived on the western frontier, often feared and resented the Native Americans they encountered: To them, American Indians seemed to be an unfamiliar, alien people who occupied land that white settlers wanted (and believed they deserved).

I think it would take me an entire essay to discuss all the themes, ideas and observations Doctorow puts forth in Ragtime, and many of them I truly believe are still currently applicable in the modern era.įor instance, throughout the entirety of the book we are treated to repetitive events, processes and imagery, showcasing the idea of the American people spinning round and round in circles as time moves on and brings decay with it. However, I do believe the rewards are very much worth the effort put into it. It’s definitely one of those works which requires the reader to put in some real effort, pay close attention to what’s happening, and most importantly, use their brain to derive a meaning from it all. The Undeniable Heft of RagtimeĪs I think you might have gathered by this point, Ragtime isn’t exactly the type of book you can breeze through in a Sunday afternoon without paying much attention. The good, the bad and the ugly all come floating to the surface, and Doctorow dissects the country down to atoms like few ever have before or since. Through their various stories we are taken on an expansive and layered tour of the United States of America, its people, and the forces driving them onward. ![]() It was evident to him that the world composed and recomposed itself constantly in an endless process of dissatisfaction.

Once the stage is set, the story takes a turn for the wilder realms as we follow both sets of characters through the various trials and tribulations they face, seemingly unconnected from each other. After we learn about his life, we are presented with our second set of main characters, a struggling artist and his daughter. The beginning is simple enough, taking us to New York City in 1906, presenting us with a typical American businessman belonging to the middle class, running a business selling fireworks and patriotic bunting. So what exactly is the whole thing about? As a matter of fact, I think there is definitely some room to argue this book created a new genre of its own, but one most authors aren’t exactly capable of contributing to. While the book is labelled on most shelves as a work of historical fiction, I don’t think it does the entire scope of it real justice. Doctorow‘s classic Ragtime comes along, and essentially defies any type of classification we might be attempting to give it. Speaking for the vast majority of books, they can all be classified pretty soundly in at least one literary sub-genre, if not more, allowing us to much more easily curate what we want to read. ![]() ![]() Where are iPhone backups stored on Windows?

Many companies are responding by adopting a new operating model for workforces one that sees skills as the fundamental building blocks of work. More than half of companies around the world cannot find the skills they are looking for. “The magnitude of the skills-gap crisis is astonishing. It counts a number of FTSE100 companies amongst its growing list of clients. Spotted Zebra is a rarity amongst startups that announce seed funding, having already gained significant traction in its target market of the UK’s largest corporate employers. The applications draw on this to put skills at the heart of all people-decisions, and currently include hiring, succession planning and employee reskilling. The skills cloud provides a common skills taxonomy that is contextualised to the organisation’s unique values and operating principles. The company powers skills-based workforce management through its integrated skills cloud and suite of applications that sit across the talent lifecycle. However, challenges arise for companies attempting the shift towards becoming skills-based organisations and this is where Spotted Zebra comes in. A skills-based organisation is one that recognises and leans into this reality by making skills, rather than job titles and academic qualifications, the common operating currency of workforce management. In the modern workforce we already see a tendency of employees to contribute value beyond the limits of their job description. In response, the world’s largest companies are transitioning to a new operating model for workforces one that sees skills as the fundamental building blocks of work.įor over a century, jobs have been the dominant paradigm through which workforces have been structured, often trapping people and value in job-related silos.

In the USA, there are over 11 million job vacancies but less than 5 million unemployed. ![]() The World Economic Forum estimates that 50% of all employees will need reskilling in the next few years. Scientists also explains that zebras lacking their stripes typically don’t survive long due to the abnormality of their nature.The magnitude of the skills-gap crisis is astonishing. Thus, resulting to lack of stripes or unusual patterns. Tira’s polka dots is a manifestation of an abnormality wherein melanocytes weren’t able to distribute melanin normally. The stripes on zebras are caused by their unique distribution of melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation. Sadly, zebras with such condition usually don’t survive for more than 6 months after birth. In fact, there are other cases of newly born zebras manifesting an unusual pattern on their skin in other parks in Africa. But this is actually not the first time that such case occurred. The unusual appearance of Tira was actually a fist for Maasai Mara National Reserve. Moreover, news about the rare foal has remained the top story in Maasai Mara for several days. All of them have their eyes peeled for the unique zebra with polka dots. Right after photos of Tira circulated throughout social media, the reserve has been flooded with curious tourists. The discovery of the zebra with polka dots has attracted the attention of photographers and tourists. But upon closer examination, he found out that the newly born foal actually has white dots instead of stripes. At first, the tour guide thought that the unique foal has been painted or marked for some purposes. Tira got its name from a renowned tour guide named Antony Tira who first spotted the incredibly rare “blacker” newborn zebra.
