Agreed, how could we not have datacenter capacity for the GPUs when Meta has shown that you can go from a bare field to an operational datacenter in about 3 months by using tents instead of buildings?
It's been quite a while since I first heard about it, but IIRC they were seeding cryptographic PRNGs with entropy from multiple sources, one of which was allegedly this art installation. Seeding PRNGs with sufficiently…
Ian Banks' Culture series is the only one that comes to mind.
You missed Adelaide's O-Bahn, which is another way to mitigate the "buses get stuck in traffic" problem. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-Bahn_Busway
That's not countering the argument that steering is what is preventing the bike from falling over rather than the gyroscopic effect of the wheels. You'd have to tie off the handlebars with a static line before rolling…
IIRC if your brokerage reports everything to the IRS properly, you only need to fill out net short- and long-term capital gains on your schedule D rather than specifying every single transaction on a bunch of Form 8949…
This is exactly how Toyota's AWD works in the Sienna these days. It gets 35mpg city and highway, 1mpg less than the front wheel drive Sienna (which, to be fair, is also a hybrid)
If your threat model includes someone with a quantum computer intercepting all of your traffic and storing it to decrypt later, you probably don't want to share your keys over a non-PQC channel unless you can guarantee…
IIRC backpropagation was a very significant breakthrough on how to update weights when training neural nets.
I want my guests to be able to cast to my TV, add songs to the Spotify queue, etc. As far as I can tell, these sorts of features work via broadcast frames and thus require the relevant devices to be on the same subnet.…
Amazon Fresh also used it in a handful of locations. (and still does) IIRC there are 2 Whole Foods locations that use it as well.
Yeah, I'm going to be honest: I'm a cryptocurrency doomer so I've not followed things super closely, but a quick Google search turned up this article[0] from 2022: >While it is true that Nvidia cards are generally…
IIRC people were already converting their data into texture maps and writing their SIMD instructions as shaders operating on those textures before Nvidia released CUDA.
There's a quote that I love: >I'm a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem to have. Nvidia has been working hard(er than their competition) on the software side for almost 2 decades to be in…
Is the term you're looking for "cupping", ie the formation of "sun cups"?
Haha yeah, I was being charitable to avoid starting a flamewar ;)
I think that Javascript's massive success with the terrible syntax it used to have goes a long way toward confirming your hypothesis.
So that they can seamlessly upsell you on upgrading to a new phone that you'll pay off in installments over the next couple years. Also, many postpaid plans (like my home ISP) require SSN because they are providing you…
If you practice bringing a new datacenter online without any connectivity on the existing deployment, and you practice then joining two disjoint "clouds", then you've pretty much covered your bases. Are you making a…
>foreach will not be replaced behind the scenes into multithreaded version since it changes behaviour. It only (meaningfully) changes behavior if you're both iterating over an odered datastructure and the body of your…
One difference from most other classes of bugs is that threading issues can be quite nondeterministic, which makes it harder to automatically disambiguate between flaky tests and real bugs being caught. Also, the code…
Humans are bad at reasoning about multiple threads simultaneously, so I suspect the more practical shift is the trend we've already been seeing toward more declarative syntax. eg `for` loops are being replaced by…
>The part I don't understand is why the prices still go up at the same time for my ammo despite it not running low. Because many gun owners own multiple guns. (especially the ones who consume the most ammo) If they're…
The real way to look at it is via the marginal revenue minus the marginal cost. Generally speaking, it makes sense to keep hiring more workers if you're getting a net benefit from hiring each one. That being said, at a…
I'm sure you'll be able to use voice commands to take pictures/videos hands-free with these. jperras just said that THEIR ideal workflow would rely on a button.
