If you’re lucky enough to have one of AMD’s high-end Ryzen Threadripper CPUs 2990WX (or the soon-to-come 2790WX) , AMD has just given you a cherry for the top of your sundae. A new piece of software called Dynamic Local Mode will boost performance on some tasks by rerouting loads in Windows. Robert Hallock of AMD introduced Dynamic Local Mode in a blog post on Friday. Dynamic Local Mode was created to address a specific performance characteristic of Ryzen Threadripper. Instead of a single chip, AMD’s massive 32-core and 24-core Threadripper CPUs are built by connecting four dies using a high-speed fabric…

The service allows you to navigate through apps, compose and edit text, and talk to Google Assistant. It offers a deeper integration with the OS and the control of apps, allowing you to “tap” buttons with the application itself. You can say “Scroll forward” or…
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory is launching a four-year, $3.2 million project to develop software that will bring the power of exascale computers to the computational study and design of catalytic materials. Ames Laboratory scientist Mark Gordon, also the Francis M. Craig Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Iowa State University, will lead the laboratory’s project. Old Dominion University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Virginia Tech, and EP Analytics are named as partner institutions in the effort. The scientific inspiration behind the project, said Gordon, is mesoporous nanoparticles, an area of expertise for the laboratory’s Division Chemical and Biological…

Dental production facilities typically receive hundreds of custom design files daily from multiple customers. Previously, the industry lacked a single suite of software that could handle all the operations required…
In the extensive deep dive, de With outlines why the new iPhone’s images look so vastly different to those taken by the iPhone X, even though much of the hardware was carried over from last year. Notably, the developer offers an explanation for an alleged skin-smoothing effect that made headlines over the weekend. Computational photography is the future Apple long ago realized that iPhone’s future is not necessarily in its hardware. That is why the company generally shies away from publicizing “tech specs” such as processor speed or RAM, and instead focuses on real-world performance. The same holds true for the camera. Instead…
The PDF apps have received a major update that includes dozens of fixes for flaws that would allow for remote code execution attacks if exploited. Other possible attacks include elevation of privilege flaws and information disclosure vulnerabilities. Fortunately, Adobe said that none of the bugs was currently being targeted in the wild – yet.

So now we have school principals begging for money (“Begging for a budget boost,” Tuesday Review-Journal), while headlines rave about the piles of marijuana taxes raised in excess of predictions…………….SUBSCRIBE FOR UNLIMITED ACCESS.
Given the amount of money we spend per student and our relative socioeconomic advantage, the ACT’s education system should be at the top of the class. Unfortunately, debates on performance rarely go beyond playground arguments. Claims that any criticism of public schools is talking down the system are toxic and must be rejected outright. Equally, empty rhetoric about failing our students by the opposition must also be rejected. Voters deserve viable alternatives to current government policy, not just name-calling. The ideological inertia of the Labor and Liberal parties in the ACT has squandered our opportunities. The vacuous Future of Education…
