priznat posted:On device encoding is becoming the rage with the controllers on nvme devices able to do differing levels of encoding/decoding on the fly and in the background. A lot of custom options exist already, it’s pretty neat. Unrelated but in some of the smart ssd demos I’ve seen they show off a full fledged Linux SoC setup that you can ssh in to to setup your jobs or whatever. What is the process for maintaining those or are enterprise and cloud companies now going to have a bunch of unpatched Linux distros running on their network with direct hardware attachment to sensitive data

holy poo poo. Overall company performance is figured into my bonus calculation as well but it's only part of it, there's no mathematical possibility to get to $27, wtf is that. It's supposed to motivate, not make everyone quit.

$0 is probably less demotivating. The only people who should stay there are people who are already at their Peter-Principle position or looking to squeeze out what they can for their career and leave whatever mess behind. That isn't a great look for a company trying to turn itself around.

I suspect everyone Intel lays off in the US could get a job in Detroit for example.

yeah you're going to have a real hard time bouncing back after this Effective immediately: - suspend merit increases - suspend the QPB and QPB+ program - suspend all employee recognition programs - reducing company US 401K match from 5% to 2.5% Effective March 1: Reducing base compensation for Grade 7 and above exempt employees - CEO by 25% - ELT by 15% - G12+ by 10% - G7-11 by 5% WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Feb 1, 2023 |

What's funny is they gave just about everyone a pretty decent-sized raise in April of this year in order to "fix" years of being under-paid vs the tech market and having a decade+ of raises coming in under the inflation rate. So much for that! Dividends? No way, we still have to pay those out to shareholders. To the actual, literal people working on the products, get hosed!

Yeah promos used to be easy double digit raises but managers started figuring out they didn’t need to be so generous and also could obfuscate by throwing out pay range quartile nonsense. So yeah now you can find yourself getting a pay cut after getting promoed out of a junior position

I will say in defense of the dividend, once Intel cuts that then whatever bottom is left of that stock is getting blown out

lol yeah cut everyone's pay and bonuses, that's surely going to motivate them to turn things around at Intel. I feel sorry for the rank & file, but Intel can get hosed. There's no such thing as 'too big to fail' (a widely debunked myth) as some goon said earlier, the market will decide that.

SourKraut posted:Are you talking about the Arizona fab? Because TSMC pivoted to turning it into a leading-edge fab and it's further along than has been publicly indicated. yea but it's 5nm 2024 right? Intel is going to be on par with them anytime they get intel 4 working on a delivery product, and TSMC taiwan has already moved onto 3nm which is supposed to be the same as intel 4 and also pretty hosed up (enough that N3 is not N3B and the real thing is now N3E). Like both Taiwan and Intel are onto 3nm tier and TSMC Arizona at 5nm is obsolete even if it's ahead of schedule.

As soon as someone breaches that 1nm barrier, fab process marketing names are going to get even stupider than the barely-adjacent-to-real-measurements ones that they're currently using. I can 100% see marketing people refusing to call something an 800 pm process because 800 is too big a number and will make their tech look twenty years obsolete.
