There, I said it. It's got me reading about system-on-a-chip and ARM. This is a talk by Sophie Wilson of ARM fame. She talks about the problem with modern core-focused designs. She says that in current multi-core systems that 50% of the cores are actually disabled at any one time lest the chip melt.

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
