I didn't say the memory necessarily has to be moved into the GPU. The other way around would also be a possibility.
You can't have a union of silicon valley engineers who weild power by deciding what is and isn't acceptable to say online.

The problem is that the judgement is to do with perceived 'impact'. No normal person is going to be prevented from saying 'when the looting starts the shooting starts', you prevent trump from saying this because its 'dangerous'. The situation is awful. Its a cluster fuck of people with too much power welding it in unprincipled ways.

Fb employees walking out in some display of outrage at the companies behaviour when what they should ACTUALLY do is NOT WORK FOR FACEBOOK I don't understand. These are not impoverished coal miners with no choice where to work. Get a different job you idiots. Stop working for an obviously not ethical company. You're part of the problem, don't pretend to be virtuous by 'protesting', you're achieving nothing apart from making yourself look stupid.

Anecdotal, but I have never seen any of my colleagues with PyCharm work more quickly than me in Sublime Text. I think if you "struggle" in an IDE or editor, it's not really the IDE or editor that's the problem. A "jump to definiton" key and plaintext search tools (I use grep or ag in the command line) tend to be enough for me 99% of the time.

I also think there's something to it being forced to think about your code rather than just relying on your IDE. In the past I saw random functions getting extracted to random modules and imported everywhere because PyCharm makes it so easy to do so, with no real thought as to where it belongs, which led to some weird circular import error happening pretty much every month.

> However, in the specific context of stand-alone or freestanding programs, the "void main()" definition would be absolutely nonconsequential

One possible consequence I can think of: If your program is safety-critical (or even otherwise) you might be interested in running static analysis or verification tools on it. These tools implement the C standard, so they would emit a diagnostic on the use of void main.

Other than that, sure, the language police will not come and break down your door. If your compiler's docs say that it accepts this construct with the meaning you want, it is indeed an inconsequential, though also completely unnecessary, deviation from the standard.
I've used Dark Sky API to plot temperature against COVID-19 cases[1], I found its coverage to be better than other historical weather API.

But, there's need gap in all these weather API's; they lack actual recorded historical weather data and provide only forecast data. Actual recorded weather data is important for any research conducted with historical weather data.

Number of drawcalls is usually not a problem because it saturates memory, though. It is often because of CPU overhead it incurs and (possibly redundant) commands-processing work on GPUs front-end causing bubbles in the whole pipeline. Where DX12/Vulkan-esque APIs help immensely is the first part mostly -- CPU overhead.

Memory interfacing of GPU commands-streaming/processing front-ends and system memory are very efficient, employing pre-fetching, etc.

Despite the Russian society reality is based on explicit corruption, fear and no respect for human rights, I do still find it much deeper than the US society.

Nevertheless I'd rather live in the US than in the USSR or modern Russia.

One person did that (or possibly a small group; I'm not certain of the details). Are you suggesting that an entire nebulous, poorly-defined movement is responsible for one particular action by one particular person?
"Would the response have been the same if all the heavily armored folk were black?"

There's precedent for this. In the 60s the black panthers open carried in California to protest, of course, police misconduct. Reagan signed in the Mulford Act [1], banning open carry in CA.

If BLM want stricter gun control laws (not sure if they do), all they need to do is arm themselves at protests.

Yep, that's not what I intended to hint at, either. What I mean is, it boils down to the familiar problem of diminishing returns to have huge caches inside GPUs.
How do you fix those things? What are the protesters demands? Are there any concrete demands other than "f* rich people" and "f* capitalism"?
Yeah i guess. I think it's that it's more useful in distributed systems, and most people don't need it.

But when you do need it, you really need it.

English is not my first language, honestly I am trying to understand here.

I am confused why there are racial justice protests over George Floyd. Please hear me out.

yes his death was wrongful, and yes he was black, but I don't see anything that implies these factors were connected.

The officer did not have a history of racism.

In fact, it seems like a statistical certainty that these two factors would eventually collide and it would be caught on video.

So really I am starting to feel like I'm missing something - that this event is just confirmation bias on a massive scale combined with other external factors (virus masks, economic unrest).

I post this here because we are logical people and this is where I am with my logic right now, and I'd love to have my mind changed because I'm feeling crazy that I don't get it.

He's an example to illustrate that leftist sympathies mean nothing. Not worried about Corbyn anymore, obviously, since he's a spent force.

I'm not a political wheeler-dealer. I know where I fall short and I'll be easily bypassed in any attempt to put these safeguards in (even were they possible) by people with vastly more experience and skill at this than me.

> I've never seen anyone make the argument that looting is helping the cause

I've also never seen anyone make the argument that excessive use of force by US police officers is helpful.

That gives us two extremes that we can eliminate from the discussions. There are no people who think illegal force used by the police is good, nor is there people who think looting is helping the cause of stopping the police from using illegal amount of force. Two strawmen done and dusted.

> "Funny how one bad protester labels the whole movement, but a few bad cops are never supposed to represent all cops."

101 in in-group and out-group human behavior research. The in-group is always made out of individuals and a few bad apples can never represent the group that a persons self belong to. The out-group however is in contrast a homogenic group. The purpose of having a clearly defined group to define as "them" is to avoid having to spend the energy to individualizing every member. It is a type of lazy thinking. Both the police and the protesters has bad people in them and good people, you only need to look at the individual level.

> The problem, which shows up in plenty of posts on social media, is that people's concern should, first and foremost

If we expect every post on social media to include boiler plate signaling then it kind of losses meaning. Everyone already agree that illegal use of force by the police is bad and should be prosecuted. We have democratic created laws that says so and no movement to remove them. The problem lies at the pseudo kinship relations that a band-of-brothers style police force has when it is tasked to enforce those laws against the in-group.
Interesting case scenarios:
1) a Site has a stupid big gif that shows logo and staff parties, basically adding nothing but sucking up bandwidth(Not your case)

2) Your case, where you actually add value-content with the gif.

Now the speed metrics are just that, speed metrics they "report" in isolation from "content".

So now my question is: Is Google's OTHER-content-signals good enough to overcome any penalty that might have been applied because of the speed ?
You know, humans have a lot of built-in reactions that are very hard to resist in the face of certain stimuli. It's hard enough to get people to talk peaceably in an online forum where we aren't smelling pheromones, feeling an adrenaline rush in reaction to physical threats to our well being, etc. It's vastly harder to stay calm and behave "competently" in the face of that sort of thing.

My ex was career military. One day, I was seriously set off by something and he accidentally got up in my physical space and bumped into me and his military training apparently had prepared him for how to de-escalate in the face of imminent physical violence because I was quite ready to hit him over it. The end result was that I left the house to go cool off elsewhere.

So I've experienced first-hand physical de-escalation tactics and my ex was one of the calmest people I have ever known. I'm the only person he ever raised his voice at (when we were fighting). Most people were incapable of getting a rise out of him.

So I think I have a pretty fair idea of just what it takes to actually de-escalate physical violence when faced with imminent physical violence and most people have neither the temperament nor the training. He had been in the military quite a few years at that point.

I don't intend to argue this further. I've said what I wanted to say. I was surprised my initial comment got any upvotes at all instead of being just stomped into the ground, given the current climate out in the world.
That is certainly a thing. But on HN, we really do have topical trends. When an article gets popular, and piques our interest, people keep researching it. And finding related topics and articles, and those also get posted. We also see it impact the "Show HN" posts - before coronacrisis, we were seeing so many curated job postings sites that it got to be a bit of a joke. Just in the last couple week, we've see an uptick in blogging tools, and in the past couple days, an uptick in data gathering sites for police action. Trends do exist.

I do not think that I have far-right views, I do not follow their "party" line however, for example I am pro-free speech for everyone.

I was accused twice by antifa people of being fascist myself. Once because I expressed my pro-archiving/anti-copyright views and another time when someone accused my friend (who is an actual anti-fascist that organises non-violent anti-fascist events in real life) of being a fascist because he does not agree with their violent policies and I went to defend him - in neither case they explained why they think that I am a fascist and I had no prior interaction with these people.

Regarding antagonism, in general people reply only when they have something to add or when they disagree with a post. If they have nothing to add but agree then they just upvote instead. I can't guarantee that this is the case here however.
Sorry, what’s the connection to replacing police de-escalating with social workers de-escalating? You’ve lost me.
It may or may not have happened with tanks; it sure happened with horses:

To understand how their AI reached decisions, Müller and his team developed an inspection program known as Layerwise Relevance Propagation, or LRP. It can take an AI’s decision and work backwards through the program’s neural network to reveal how a decision was made.

In a simple test, Müller’s team used LRP to work out how two top-performing AIs recognised horses in a vast library of images used by computer vision scientists. While one AI focused rightly on the animal’s features, the other based its decision wholly on a bunch of pixels at the bottom left corner of each horse image. The pixels turned out to contain a copyright tag for the horse pictures. The AI worked perfectly for entirely spurious reasons. “This is why opening the black box is important,” says Müller. “We have to make sure we get the right answers for the right reasons.”

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/nov/05/computer-say...

There is, in general, a great deal of work on explaining the decisions of neural net. Explainable AI is a thing, with much funding and research activity and there's books and papers etc, e.g. https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-28954-6.

And all this is becaue, quite regardless of whether that tank story is real or not, figuring out what a neural network has actually learned is very, very difficult.

One might even say that it is completely, er, irrelevant, whether the tank story really happened or not, because it certainly captures the reality of working with neural networks very precisely.
Back when I had a Saturday job at my local library I used to roughly sort the books alphabetically on the trolley that had the books to be shelved first then go round the shelves.
Not the same. sshfs is acceptable if you only want to do basic file editing, but is unusable if you want to say use language services or search in your directory.

What you want is for basic text editing to run locally (to minimize latency) and heavy duty services (like language services or search) to run on the remote server where accessing a file only requires a file system call instead of a network call. Then, after gathering the required information it can send that over some kind of pipe to your text editor.

This is the workflow that VSCode has set up and it's very good. In many ways, even if you're used to vim, VSCode's setup is preferable to vim over ssh shell due to lower latency.

Why must officer names be anonymized? They are public servants and they are obligated to provide name and badge numbers during the course of their duty.

Were you actually there and see it in person, though, or did you hear it from someone else? Because if it's the latter, it smells like horseshit from a mile away. That's why in a conflict you need to hear _both_ versions of what actually happened and try to be impartial.
> As interest in the early music movement has grown, performers and musicologists have increasingly turned to period instruments, smaller ensembles, and faster tempos to try to more faithfully recreate the music of the past.

This is misleading. The interest in baroque music grew strongly in the 50s. The turn toward period instruments, smaller ensembles, and faster tempos appeared at the end of the 60s, and was steadily established in the 70s with great leaders like Gustav Leonhardt and Nikolaus Harnoncourt. There have been little changes over the past 30 years.

This looks like a fun but futile project. Though I strongly relate to the desire to know more about Bach's music. As Émile Cioran wrote, "Bach's music is the only argument proving that the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded as a complete failure".

My reasons to release my low-code development platform as open-source
Is it not necessary to confirm with a source besides the driver (e.g. Tesla) that Autopilot was actually on?

I feel like "I had Autopilot on and it didn't work" is a pretty convenient excuse if it's not on and you have an accident all on your own.

Because to me that is entirely plausible, yet we're all operating under the assumption (and having lengthy discussions about) this "failing" of Autopilot.
It doesn't really help. One is just a shorthand for the other.
how much does a Tesla know about the state of its driver, e.g. to detect distraction, tiredness or intoxication?

Does Tesla see when you speed and increase your premiums?
One of the most anti-fascist people in history ended up being Stalin. I mean his forces were directly responsible for Hitler committing suicide.

But he was a horrible, genocidal maniac.

Just because you are “anti-fascist” does it mean that you can’t be evil, especially when you use violence to intimidate your political opponents and cause injury and loss to innocent civilians.

Requiring people to have a Google account or similar is probably the primary reason why competitors such as Zoom had any chance to begin with. They can call it a security feature as much as they like, though I suspect "loss leader" is more correct. But for business use, it means Google Meet is a no go. We simply can not require customers to have this or that account before they can join a video conference.
Not 50%, but a significant portion - IIRC the South Korea studies had 30% prevalence of smell loss for infected with mild symptoms; but it generally was temporary, unlike the cases described in this article.
A bit sensational on the headline (as they do), the criticism in this case is pretty tame, imo.
