The US was and probably still is doing the same thing as China with its domestic surveillance programs. They just have a better marketing / PR department about it. But don’t be mistaken, if you speak against this in the US, you’ll commit suicide, or spend the rest of your life in prison or in exile as a traitor.

L1 BW.

When people use BW in their performance models, they don’t use only 1 bandwidth, but whatever combination of bandwidth makes sense for the _memory access pattern_.

So if you are always accessing the same word, the first acces runs at DRAM BW, and subsequent ones at L1 BW, and any meaningful performance model will take that into account.

There are already GPUs with >90GB RAM? DGX-A100 has a version with 16 A100 GPUs, having each 90 Gb.. that’s 1.4TB of GPU memory on a single node.

The fact that HR and senior management where in on it makes it systemic.

A tree... like a Directory tree?

I use a git repo, markdown documents, and one daemon on each device, to sync and share notes across all my devices.

I have yet to find something that beats this in portability, flexibility, note quality (from markdown to interactive jupyter notebooks), file support (all files), math support (latex formulas for markdown), graph support (mermaid), presentation support (reveal.js),...

How is the kernel tested ? There weren’t any tests covering any of this ?

I hooked a gopro this way. Their new drivers support using them as Webcams on macos and windows.

Beer Webcam I’ve ever had.

Nvidia makes arm processors, GPUs and SoCs, so this integration will be good for them if the arm sale is approved.

I don’t think it applies at all stages (example: spacex vertical landing).

No, that’s not what that it is saying.

It is saying that worse candidates get jobs over better candidates because there is an artificial minority quota that must be achieved.

I helped fill a PhD position in Germany, it took 6 months to fill, because the first 19 properly qualified candidates were men. The 20th was a women, their qualifications were significantly worse than most men, but she got the job because of the quotas set by the German research foundation.

I never helped with filling a position again and this was one of the contributing factors for my decision against staying in academia.

i3 and sway also allow windows to overlap, which is a very useful thing to do (eg for pop up boxes, pop up menus, etc.).

It’s just not the default.

If I want to work on N windows at a time, i3 handles their tiling semi-automatically. All windows that I’m not currently using are pushed into different workspaces.

But that’s not the case for Rust? Rust is backed by Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Intel, and many others...

The Rust development and specification happens all in the open on GitHub.

There is no single company controlling its future or direction.

I have an 8 year old MacBook Air. Still getting updates, still working perfectly well. Best 1000$ ever spent on a PC. Zero seconds invested in configuring or setting up anything.

At the end of the day, buying a Computer is a tradeoff. A lot of people would very happily tradeoff freedom for other values if the value proposition is good.

C++ templates are „untyped“ or very „weakly“ typed at the kindest, while Rust generics are „strongly“ typed.

That’s the main difference in these languages features.

Saying that Rust generics are „weaker“ than C++ templates is technically incorrect, since they are actuall „stronger“.

Using these terms to mean something else is definitely „weird“.

Why wouldn’t you enable RTX and DLSS in a 3070 or 3080?

I mean, I get that you can’t enable these on AMD 6000 series because the card doesn’t support these well.

Why would a data scientist making >200k$/year (~1k$/ work day) spend a single second of their time trying to “workaround” something whose solution only costs 1.5k$?

Spending a week/year working around ROCm would already cost you 5k$ plus the opportunity cost. For a whole team that’s a money sink.

Does it support pointers?

It seems this is only for shaders, but if that’s the case one has been able to use shaders with Rust via GLSL since forever.

Does it have an equivalent of build.rs ?
