Its an interesting design for sure.

4x Stacks of HBM2 means 1TBps memory bandwidth at 16GB. Only 60-compute units enabled (maybe 4-CUs are expected to break during manufacturing? Its a weird number for sure...).

Since it shares dies with the MI50, the Radeon VII will have 1/2 speed double-precision, making this the cheapest high-performance double-precision card in existance.

------

FP16 compute is supported at double speed, but there are no tensor cores. So FP16 matrix multiplication / tensor ops are still a major benefit to NVidia.

But the memory size and bandwidth is quite salivating. That's a lot of bandwidth, and a number of problems are known to be memory-bound. Deep learning enthusiasts probably will stick to NVidia cards, but other compute problems may want to start playing around with this thing.

------

Video gamers seem meh about the specs. But I think anyone looking at this card for its compute performance would be impressed.
It doesn't take much energy to keep a modern car moving at highway speed. With regenerative braking and a limited top speed a small generator should be able to keep the car moving well enough.
A communist country like Cuba, where life expectancy is higher, infant mortality is lower, and healthcare costs are a small fraction of the USA's?
Happy to see lots of progress in this update. Each month I'm saving towards purchasing the Librem 5 after I hear confirmation that it works on T-Mobile networks in the US.
Yup this can be true.

If you read something like duo(3) it could be a measure word for flowers (朵) or maybe mean “to hide or avoid” (躲)
Probably just keeping the chiplet orientation wrt to the iochip (as compared to their bigger products) simplify design and validation.

You'd see the vias for the empty chip if it were planned to share the interposer among chip combination SKUs.
Where are the "mixed reviews"? I can't think of a single person who would opt-in to this program, so they can get "better ads".

How about an option to opt-out of a duopoly telecom market ?
It feels like you're arguing against something that isn't really what Kondo is offering, and she specifically discusses in reference to vacuum cleaners and screwdrivers (tools you don't need every day, but the frustration of not having is an "anti joy"). The joy concept isn't so rigid as delight in that moment, though it can be misconstrued that way.

What I think she would say about a workshop is that a well-organized (tidy) space, where everything has its place, so you know where to go when you need something, and where it goes when you have finished using it, is going to make you a happier person than having to dig through a toolbox/drawer/scrap pile to find the right tool or piece of wood.

In my experience, workshops are not devoid of joy, unless you work only on things you don't enjoy or find pride in, which seems unfortunate. My workshop memories are of my granddad making wood products of all sorts, my dad working on the car and various household projects, and my brother creating toys of various types (e.g. making our own cornhole set). The frustrations in the workshop were typically of not being able to find something I knew was there, but perhaps that isn't what you are after or expressing here.
I don't disagree with your takeaway, but one nit: games are less sensitive to latency than they are to unexpected latency. You can deal with latency through a number of techniques so long as it's consistent. (IIRC, this is one of the reasons for some of the interesting hardware on the Xbox 360 shrinks - reconfiguring the CPU/GPU package meant that the hardware team had to gimmick it such that games didn't have to suddenly deal with less latency than they'd been intended for.)
I much prefer a mature cheddar. In particular an apple smoked cheddar.

A close second would be a blue cheese such as St. Agur.

Both with a lot of umami goodness on the burger.

I will happily eat a burger with American cheese. It is good - but not cheese to me. It is more an oily softness than the smooth fatty softness from (dare I say real) cheese.

Maybe this comes from growing up where a "cheese shop" actually is a thing :-)

But cheese fries with american cheese are truly sinful and a very guilty pleasure. They're not common around here for which my heart is eternally thankful!

> Then why do you ask me?

Because from my perspective it seems like you had an opinion and then you backed away once I challenged it. You dance around it enough to pretend that the author didn't make a clear opinion.

> I only mentioned one aspect (a question, not a conclusion by the way)

It sounded rhetorical. Like with other religious wars, we can agree to disagree. From my perspective, I still feel that your original point was that you felt Jackie Chan was wrong "to focus on the end result, his success as an adult" instead of contemplating more on his hard childhood. I'm not sure why you'd back away from that opinion. While I disagree with it, it isn't exactly controversial either.
Must have been an interesting twenty years.
From the article: "Mandarin is set to be taught alongside local languages besides other foreign ones including French and Arabic."

They could just as easily have titled the article:

"Kenya will start teaching French to elementary school students from 2020."

But of course that would have triggered fewer people leading to fewer readers (probably wouldn't have made it to HN either).

I'm quite wary about "Chinese neocolonialism" myself, but as a Kenyan Citizen who's seen the massive QOL improvement in the country over the last few years, I really don't see the issue with teaching the worlds most widely spoken language in schools.
That's not really true but, admittedly, it depends on where you're going. There are plenty of places in the US where you can go 50+ miles on the freeway without hitting a gas station. There are even signs on the freeways that will tell you "Last fuel stop for x miles" in some parts of the country. Also, considering that Teslas have a starting range of 250 miles, you're stopping just as much as you would be in a gas car, just for a longer period of time (30 minutes max).
When driving through Germany on the highway, it's not unusual for gas stations to be 50km apart. Tesla has a supercharger roughly every ~100km in all of western Europe (much closer in dense areas), meaning you'll be on average 50km away from one at any point. Not much of a difference in how far ahead you need to plan.

> AMD generally does well because of the large amount of cores/threads

True, but in this case they're comparing an 8C/16T chip against the also 8C/16T i9-9900K, so this is a pretty apples-to-apples comparison.
It doesn't have to be 24/7, but, please, not everybody has a stay at home spouse to do shopping in the middle of the day.

When I lived in Europe there was a furniture store next to my house. An owner had a large poster glued to the window about how beneficial would it be for the economy of everyone used his store instead of Ikea. Being a huge fan of small local business I honestly tried to stop by. But theres no way I'll take a day off work to do it. Ikea won.
From what I can tell, hunter-gather societies, and possibly all of our pre-agriculture ancestors, are serially monogamous with some fooling around on the side. Children probably received support from the whole band or tribe.

The sexual part seems pretty familiar from looking around current society, and the children support part isn't far off from now either.

100000 years ago humans had significantly less empathy than we do now. And they didn't have a grocery store with more varieties of vegetables, whole grains, beans, lentils, fruits, seeds, nuts, tofu, tempeh, seitan, cashew cheese, veggie burgers, vegan sausages, vegan pizza, vegan chikn, plant based milks... than one could possibly imagine, a short drive or walk from their home.
I think this might be a mischaracterisation. Rails merged with Merb because they were accepting of new ideas, and didn't see the point of 2 groups wasting their time implementing the same kinds of stuff.

Rails is an opinionated framework in that it has strong opinions for what the default configuration should be. They realise it can't be general purpose and stay as effective. But if you're doing CRUD apps, on the web, those defaults save you a bunch of time.

That's not hostile to differing ideas, it's just saying that some ideas don't belong in rails or rails itself becomes less good.

I used to be a messy sort, and my flatmate got a bit sick of it. We had two fairly deep drawers in the kitchen that we didn’t use for anything else, so they each became our “where stuff is” drawer.

I had the right to put any of his loose possessions in his drawer, and he mine. So, of course, that’s where ALL of my stuff ended up. His was mostly empty. :-/ Either way, I knew where my stuff was!

For a good many years when I was still commuting and otherwise driving locally more than I do now, I had a small 36mpg Honda 2-seater as well as an SUV for weekends and hauling stuff. I actually still have the Honda but it's very old and I'll probably get rid of it because I don't use it much. If a person or family has 2 cars, it makes a lot of sense for at least one of them to be something small and economical and (at least in the near future) EV--assuming home charging.
I'd think it's fairly uncontroversial to say that the Chinese writing system is harder to master (and it thus takes longer) than alphabetic ones.

According to the ASPCA:

That's an _extremely_ broad definition that says nothing about the condition of the animals.
Good point, and that makes a lot of sense.
EVs like any car have scenarios that work well and other things that don't. Driving your Tesla 250 miles, doing something for 10 minutes, and then driving home won't be a good experience. But driving 70-100 miles, even if going to Snoqualmie Pass or Mt Rainier, then driving home, that's fine in even a 4 year old model S 85D like mine.

First, did you know that going downhill your car can charge or at worst drive a long way without using any power. Second, the raw range of the car is such that I can go from Seattle to pretty much any place around here and back (Stevens, Olympic Peninsula). My car's modest 265 mile range is dwarfed by a model 3's > 300 miles.

If you don't live in a garage with any charging it can be a pain. I have just 120 volts in my garage, but I rarely need to go to a higher power charger, because I get 50 miles added overnight. If I am going to say ski two days in a row I can get enough charge at home to be ready to go the next day. If I was doing such a drive day after day I'd upgrade to higher power. If I was living in Seattle with a car on the street where I couldn't run power to it, or in a parking garage, I agree that it's too much trouble. But the key thing is the range and power used by your ev can be reliably modeled. Check out (among many such sites), https://www.evtripplanner.com/. Try planning a trip, picking a car, listing the temp, how many people.

It's true that you have to do a little planning if you are going to the limits of your car's range, but I almost never need to do this planning. When I used to go driving around the backcountry in Utah I also had to plan out where I'd get gas and decide if I was going to bring extra gas with me too. I never did that normally of course.
Right click and view source is probably the best thing about the web. You can learn so much. The source code for this game is simple and straight forward. I find it hard to come up with any critique - it looks like it's written by a pro! I like that he use objects instead of "classes". The game should adopt to window resize and aspect ratio.

You mean slightly better. The AMD CPU outperformed the 9900k. Wit the same core count. Which means AMD was likely turboing to 5GHz during the demo.
January release of Azure Data Studio is now available
Yep.

When I have the urge to keep something, I ask myself if I have definite plans for it. If I do, great! And that helps decide where it will go.

Otherwise, it goes into the donation box, recycling, etc.
Me neither.

I did use it religiously for a long, long time; then tried without for a week and never went back.

It's not like telling the difference between string literals and keywords was ever a major issue for me. I guess it could help short term when learning a new language, but I'm pretty sure it slows down overall progress.
It has almost identical performance at a little over half the power consumption. They're ahead.
> The point isn't that people in word processors spend absurd amounts of time deciding what fonts to use or might make stupid choices about formatting.

Except that's exactly one of the most common reasons I see given to people who are not programmers to use LaTeX. "You don't have to fiddle with formatting." "You don't have to worry about text flow around embedded images." And so on. It's absolutely one of the most common reasons people give when the first ones should be, "You require a typesetting language," or "You require portable, comprehensive, codified, standardized, plain text equation markdown syntax."

> In LaTeX you drop in a class file that defines your style guide and boom your whole LaTeX document is now formatted according to that style guide. If later you want a different style guide, switch out the class file and you've got something different. Need to write your bibliography in a different style, swap out the file defining that and all your references are changed.
>
> That's the point that advocates of LaTeX are making. You separate the content and presentation. Your LaTeX just contains the content and the style guide indicates how to actually format that content.

I don't really buy these because you can say the same thing about Word. Word has templates which need to be configured and defined just like LaTeX classes. Word has heirarchal styles which can be changed after the fact to completely reformat the document easily. Word has a citation and reference tool which allows you to change the style on the fly [0]. Yes, the features of the two systems are not identical. Yes, some things are more difficult in Word. Some things are more difficult in LaTeX, too. Now we're down to subjective arguments about which you prefer, which isn't quite the same thing.

> They are presumably not going to be able to match NVIDIA’s energy efficiency, and they won’t have feature parity since AMD doesn’t (yet) have its own DirectX Raytracing (DXR) implementation.

I assume this means that it won't support raytracing at all? Or will it, but with some non-DXR implementation?
I like the idea of LyX, and its GUI, the implementation is showing its age a bit. Starting from scratch today it would be better to implement in Rust using XML as the .lyx document format and XSLT and XSLs for transformations to LaTeX and other output document formats.

EDIT: And there are XSLs for such conversions. E.g., http://getfo.org/texml/

Affirming the consequent is a deductive fallacy. It is not a fallacy in probabilistic reasoning, because the consequent is an evidence of the antecedent.

Re: laboratory results, it is noteworthy smoking and non-smoking lung cancer have different molecular signature. Lung cancer probably should be considered two separate diseases, and this probably overstates smoking connection because some lung cancer by smokers is of non-smoking kind and not caused by smoking. This can be better understood by including such signatures in epidemiological study.

What are you comparing to what?

Price/Perf goes to AMD every time, and increasingly often; some parallel workloads can simply perform better on AMD CPUs.

I work on The Division 2 (My managing director was on stage during the keynote) and we get better performance in quite a lot of area's using AMD CPUs.

Interesting fact: AMD EPYCs in our DC run with less power consumption per compute than our Xeon Skylake servers. What I later learned was that Intel takes the average power consumption and lists it, where AMD lists the max. Not sure why that is.
My prediction: Eventually the Chinese companies will be known as premium brands.

When I was a kid, I remember my parent's and grandparent's generation talking about the cheap Japanese crap, and they would only buy American. A few decades alter the Japanese stuff was the good stuff, and the American's couldn't compete.

Well, you can leave the office at 4pm if you need to. It's also not uncommon to just take one of your 20+ week days off on short notice.

In many cities there are special days (thursday here) where many large and small shops are open until 9pm; one day doesn't break the bank. Big hardware stores, supermarkets and other larger chains are commonly open 9-9 every day. Smaller stores can not do this, and their owners also want normal work hours like you.

"Chinese people need to be controlled, otherwise they will do whatever they want."

Haha... wow, that circular reasoning is so tight it's almost not even a circle anymore. "Chinese people need to be controlled, otherwise they will not be controlled". I have a theory that all circular reasoning can be reduced down to a (probably faulty) axiom or assertion.
that's been the pattern for all of our industrialized history, there's no reason to be skeptical that it will suddenly stop happening
>You cannot write a function to enumerate all the real numbers precisely because they're uncountable, even if you had an infinite amount of time

Even with infinite amount of time your enumeration function will not generate all of the natural numbers even though the natural number are countable.

You're right that we can't write a function to determine an immediate successor but we can write successor functions.

>It sounds like you're suggesting we can store an irrational number in a finite representation by generating it with a finite function (e.g. multiply a rational number of times). But that doesn't work. You can't represent a number N in a finite number of steps if you can't represent all factors of N in a finite number of steps.

We are getting a few concepts muddled. Storing an irrational number as a finite representation is trivially easy. For example: "pi". Alternatively I could write an algorithm to generate the decimal expansion of the square root of 2. Where it's difficult is when we talk about numbers that aren't describable in a finite number of terms, i.e. Uncomputable. There is a certain unknowable quality to these numbers and I would suggest that this isn't inherent from the cardinality of the real numbers and that we run into similar problems when trying to compute some natural numbers, like random numbers.

They're being jerks, but why is an interesting question.

I don't think it's a cognitive dissonance thing, at least where I've seen that picture. I think it's an us/them thing. Specifically, the kind where one group gets the idea that another is out to get them. (That "militant vegetarian" you mention is someone I have heard about my whole life yet never met.) If they don't have a lot of vegetarian friends, you may be their first chance to have a conversation about it, and that's probably the only one they rehearsed.

It may not be as crystallized as other areas, yet, but I think this is also one more field for cultural proxy wars, as we all get drafted into us/them camps. Again, at the individual level, you might notice the person doing the attacking always thinks they're defending. Complicated big picture stuff at play.
I think that's a common misconception, as you've already alluded to - there is grammar, and it's easy to speak incorrectly if you don't study. There's just no inflection (do/does/did/done, der Mann/des Mannes/dem Manne/den Mann, hablas/hablaste/hablabas/hablaras/etc.)
