looks like there will be a network split if sha3 is not accepted

wow, according to the 7 day chart on here:
miningpoolstats.stream/monero , the network spiked to 2 gh/s at some point
-
asymptotically
gingeropolous: respectxmr had a counting bug, their hashrate spiked to 500 MH/s for a few moments
-
gingeropolous
ah
-
hyc
a counting bug? is it in the upstream pool code?

Dubbed the the BlackBerry Optics Context Analysis Engine, the tool utilizes “unique” processor telemetry from Intel’s Threat Detection Technology and a mix of machine learning and artificial intelligence in order to thwart the malicious programs, often dubbed cryptojackers.
-
sech1
hmm sounds familiar :D
-

"Intel’s Threat Detection Technology" aka checking rounding mode flag :D

I'm glad to see randomx-sniffer finally implemented, lol
-
hyc
LOL
-
selsta
so Apple announced that they will fully transition to ARM in the next 2 years
-
selsta
guess soon it will be possible to test RandomX on Apple chips with JIT
-
hyc
that announcement has been a long time coming
-
hyc
did intel stock price move?
-
selsta
0.79% up according to google
-
hyc
lol stupid markets
-
selsta
first hardware will be out end of year
-
hyc
Intel has lost the plot, and everyone knows it now. That's why Apple is announcing at this point in time
-
kinghat[m]
does apple make up a large portion of intel sales?
-
selsta
2-4%
-
hyc
but they're a flagship, halo product
-
hyc
apple usually gets the high spec processors unavailable to any other vendor
-
Inge-
But we want Intel to find the plot again, don't we?
-
hyc
meh.
-
hyc
breaking x86 dominance is a great thing, IMO.
-
hyc
it's a shitty ISA that has caused endless years of pain in software and compiler design
-
hyc
if ARM finally released a chip worthy of being called a server processor, and took over data centers overnight, it would be a blessing
-
hyc
if x86 became extinct overnight, computing efficiency would immediately jump by at least 20% worldwide
-
gingeropolous
how does randomx fair in an x86 extinction?
-
hyc
works great on ARM
-
hyc
ARM is head and shoulders above x86 in terms of coding efficiency
-
hyc
-
hyc
it's easy enough you can write ARM asm by hand and still get good results
-
hyc
without much effort
-
hyc
but frankly most ISAs still in use in the world today are superior to x86
-
hyc
Intel could conceivably swallow their pride and switch to manufacturing ARM too, if they wanted to
-
hyc
technically they already are an ARM manufacturer, there are little cortex-Ms inside the security engine of every modern x86 chip, IIRC
-
hyc
noteworthy that when faced with a need for a compact, secure processor, they didn't use anything x86-derived
-
Inge-
They bought strongarm
-
tevador
hopefully someone will start making ARM chips with reasonable cache sizes
-
hyc
I would guess Apple has no choice but to do so, given this direction
-
hyc
but yeah, would be nice if some other companies did too
