OpenCL would have been a bad fit for Xeon Phi.

OpenCL is very specifically tailored for GPUs (though FPGAs may benefit). The concept of "constant memory", "shared memory", and "global memory" is very GPU-centric, and doesn't benefit Xeon Phi at all.

I'd assume that any OpenCL program would simply function better on a GPU, even compared to a 60-core in-order 512-bit SIMD-based processor like Xeon Phi.

---------------

Xeon Phi's main advantage really was running "like any other x86 processor", with 60 cores / 240 threads. But you still needed to AVX512 up your code to really benefit.

Honestly, I think Xeon Phi just needed a few more revisions to figure out itself more. It was on the market for less than 5 years. But I guess it wasn't growing as fast as NVidia or CUDA.
The majority of software engineers at NVIDIA write software that runs on the host CPU.

The majority of software written at NVIDIA (by any metric, lines of code, number of projects, etc) runs either solely on the CPU, or on both the CPU and the GPU.

I think the critique on the code quality was wrong and right at the same time:

- Wrong, because the model may have other problems (it has been criticized because it did not reflect reality in some situations, for example when applied to Sweden) which aren't related to code at all;

- Wrong, because it would have been far more important to discuss on the merits and demerits of the model, rather than its implementation;

- Correct, because bad code in academia is a known and widespread problem (I am guilty of it, too).
If mental models are so great, why is most software refusing to give us one for how it works?
Since Unified Memory. UVA, or Unified Virtual Addressing, just ensured that a GPU-private object wouldn't have the same address as a CPU-private object.

Let me help.

I worked as a developer using a Mac since 2006. My workflow was defined by it. Prior to that, I was a Linux guy. But back then the Linux UI was just terrible.

In 2018, I convinced my company to get me a system76 laptop. Pop_os is Ubuntu based.

I spent days getting my workflow to where I wanted it. Yes manually getting gnome how I want it is possible.

Right now I switched to elementaryOS because I get 95% of my flow out of the box.

I am not looking for a clone of OSX but I want general concepts to be the same. ElementaryOS is considered to be copying OS X.

I wanted out of the hardware that Apple required but their UI is top notch. So yeah, I picked a Linux distro that copies a lot of OS X
Personally I favor governments investing in carbon sequestration + other alternatives that let people live the kind of lives they want to live (and dont favor people who are already comfortable having come up in an older regulatory regime). There is no reason why reducing CO2 has to automatically be coupled with forced lifestyle changes or wealth redistribution.

Edit - I see this very much along the lines of healthcare, we are better off focusing on keeping people healthy and not trying to force a lifestyle on people. I know there are those that disagree, but I think that largely comes back to my puritain comment
I think it's a possibility, but I don't think that explains all. Personally, but this is just a hunch without any hard data to back up, I think March/April were an exceptional event, and the "regular" way the virus infects and kills is what we're seeing now.

A sculpture made out of Lego is not a recipe for making that sculpture. A photo of the sculpture is not a recipe.

You can't "clean room" copyrighted works, if you coincidentally made an identical plane (same parts) without having ever seen their plane or instructions, you could still be infringing on their copyright.

There are limits, just as you can copyright a story but not a sentence, there are likely combinations of bricks that are too simple to be copyrightable.

Copyright holders can grant blanket permissions for use of their works, or derivatives, with certain parameters. What you're going to do with your copy of a work matters, that's where fair use (or "fair dealing" in some nations) may come in. Whether commerce is involved matters. Some things are technically copyrighted but are considered to have no value; a court may not grant damages but could still compel the defendant to stop distributing the work.
What a great man and what great storytelling. Thank you for sharing.

I happen to have an Eisentraut ‘Limited’ of similar vintage. I bought it off of a retired aerospace engineer a decade ago. It's equipped with the same classic Campagnola and while the frame is a little tall for me I still get great pleasure in riding it around town. It is beautifully made, very light, and a piece of art.

Not mentioned in the story but Albert Eisentraut was building his bicycles in Oakland.

The "therapeutic" dose of HCQ in COVID-19 patients is usually 600mg and up. The therapeutic dose for e.g. rheumatoid arthritis is 400mg or less. These higher doses were linked to arrhythmia and very little evidence of a beneficial effect has been found.

HCQ has been used in petri dishes against many viruses and been successful there. Whenever they use it in vivo, it fails. This is not a new phenomenon. The link below is somewhat dated at this point (May 2020), but I believe it still stands.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01663...

In any case, if the FDA is saying "may not" the drug is not a slam dunk even if it has some beneficial effect. Winning the rhetorical war on HCQ isn't going to make COVID go away or be less serious in a substantial fashion.
Do you have a reference for “Chinese premiers have stated that they would sacrifice half their citizens if necessary”?

I don’t mean this as a ‘citation needed’ dismissal. I’d like to learn more about when such a statement was made.
So it turns out these names refer to actual lakes indeed (of the remaining three I mentioned, the two are in Ontario and one in Minnesota). It did not occur to me to search Google Maps directly: seems they are not notable enough to have Wikipedia entries, which is where I checked.

Still, the bigger point is: what purpose do such compound names serve? Early on the codenames were simpler, e.g. Katmai (Pentium III), Banias (Pentium M), Yonah (Core Solo/Duo). Specifically, what additional information is conveyed by the "Lake" categorization, where within the same broad product group (CPUs) some projects are called "Lake," and some others are "non-Lake?"

If there is actually some distinction (client/server/embedded perhaps?), wouldn't such a codename be self-defeating by revealing too much ("Something Lake" announced makes it obvious Intel is working on a client CPU)? And if it's meaningless then using two words when one would suffice seems redundant.
Have to agree with this. It’s part of why I stopped going on Reddit so much, because seeing that kind of attitude was affecting how I viewed things. I mean, imagine if you were talking face to face with someone and they responded with that amount of negativity. It’d kill the conversation and the mood.

It's amazing what you can find if you know where to start digging.
The Democratic platform is more popular. Far more people voted for Democrats for president and Congress in 2016 than voted for Republicans. Therefore their platform is the popular one, measured by the number of votes.

But due to the electoral college and antidemocratic structure of the Senate, votes in Republican strongholds have 3 times as much weight as those in Democratic strongholds.
I was interested to find out that the youtube app on an amazon fire stick is supported as a chromecast target now.

It doesn't support casting a browser tab or a desktop though (the latter isn't surprising as I'm under wayland which the parent says doesn't work, but I'd guess a browser tab should work? would be interested in other peoples experiences of this).
The rumors were that 5mn was going to take a lot of work and so AMD delayed until their following CPU architecture iteration Zen4. Now it seems more likely that they were outbid by Apple which is why Zen3 is stuck on the older process. The risk for AMD is if they can get 5mn or equivalent from another fab for Zen4
So in other words. You can't give me a number, not even a ballpark number. Why do you think that is? Why isn't it important to you if it's 10% or 51% or 99%?

“There may not be any programming a thousand years from now, but Iʼm willing to wager that some form of Dahlʼs ideas will still be familiar to programmers in fifty years, when Simula celebrates its centenary.”

I wonder if the former is at all possible, will programming transcend to some higher level of sophistication that obviates the need for code, or language for that matter?

Or is there a way for code to attain the level of pure math, something independent of any specific language?
I find that Dijkstra's essays often rub me the wrong way. He readily admits that high-level programming languages are a huge improvement over machine code, and then says (I'm paraphrasing) "BUT YOU MUST NOT TRY TO GO FURTHER". What?! That's just crass!

Here it's like he's buried his head in a bucket of sand ensconced safely in his ivory tower, never having to interact with real people who have real desires for real things that could be solved with real programs if only baking apple pies from scratch didn't first require inventing the universe.

The first two sentences show this well, where he conflates dreaming of a more interesting future with blaming the machine for being just a machine.

> They blamed the mechanical slave for its strict obedience

They just want a more forgiving interface that makes developing programs easier and they're probably frustrated that it doesn't exist. That's not the same as blaming the machine. Like, at all. That's blaming _us_ for making obscene devices that you can't program without a fuck ton of training and practice.

How has one of the fathers of modern computer programming forgotten about the value of layers of abstraction and interactive feedback?

He's dismissing the very same drive that causes us to write libraries and wizards and not just programs. It's the reason why we can now just magic up GUI windows and shit without having to think _at_ _all_ about what it actually means to construct blobs of pixels that can resize and move around and scroll and receive clicks and blink and marquee and and and. It's why we can now send an email to our friend Jeff in one line of new code and have it actually work, because there are thousands of other lines of code behind the scenes doing the work for us that we don't have to even think about most of the time.

Would it really be so bad to try to keep going further down that road? To add abstractions for using real human sentences as well?

Would it be so terrible if we could one day say "make a window called 'my window', and put a button in the lower left, and when I click on it play a trumpet sound" (with default behaviors for size and padding and fonts and stupid shit like that that normal people don't actually care about) instead of having to copypaste a thousand lines of greek from some website?

Is it really so hard to imagine that a billion people are newly able to satisfy a billion simple desires over night every time we remove a small piece of that _need_ for always using bullshit symbols with unhelpful machines? That "but it won't automatically be precisely X" is a stupid programmer thing that only programmers say?

Is it hard to do? Yes. Would it be bad if we did it? Wtf, no.

X Windows? Don't you mean "The Window System named X?"
Interesting. That looks like—mostly—what I was aiming for. (Though I would prefer lisp to haskell for this application, mainly because of metaprogramming.) However, I'm somewhat suspicious of this:

> A target is a file we want the build system to produce

This is somewhat arbitrary, and shouldn't be mandated by the build system. You say 'the secrets are that you need a more abstract concept of "targets" or "dependencies" that aren't just files', but that doesn't seem to be corroborated?

They do show examples of 'phony' targets, but why not simply eliminate the conflation of build targets and files entirely? Phony targets are just a holdover from make.

______________________________________________________

The other reason I would prefer lisp (over haskell) is the lack of 'compile time'. It looks like, with shake, you have to recompile the build file every time you change it? With lisp, loading a file will be pretty much instantaneous.
"Algorithms and Parallel Computing" by Fayez Gebali covers the parallelization of IIR filters in chapter 12. This is going to be a field that I need to study for a few days, or weeks before I'm really comfortable discussing results.

I will say that I thank you for submitting this to the discussion on Hacker News. It didn't get a lot of upvotes, but I'm still intrigued by this problem.
Just as likely, it could be evidence that humans gain the ability to time travel in the future and decide to go 120k years into the past.
Daryl's approach works, at least for him. I suspect others can learn to do it, too.

I have seen no evidence whatsoever that refusing to interact with people deradicalizes them. The filter bubble phenomenon suggests the opposite.

I'll take a strategy that's known to work with unclear scalability over a scalable one with no evidence it works, every time.
And attention seeking clowns used to around before the Internet. I used to be one.
A lot of these scripts that focus on rendering just wrap around mathjax/katex and md processors that do the actual heavy lifting. To me the real innovation needed to advance math authoring lies in processing cross references. Browser tech has yet to be fully utilized to present arguments in a manner that best facilitates reading instead of the linear fashion that comes from the constraint of printed documents. To be sure there are some work done in this direction in online open textbooks, but the tools and formats are too heavy for wide adoption.
This is a well-thought-out and super interesting piece about "why global problems keep getting worse, and how to fix this". The author discussed the large-scale relationships of public and private organizations in a way I haven't seen before. And makes really solid arguments explaining why we are in the spot we find ourselves today.

It's a 45-min read but well worth it IMO.
And that sucks for them at this point in time, but it’s just business, and business has risks. Apple does a lot to mitigate risks to their business, and if AMD really was outbid, then that just means AMD probably also tried to mitigate as much risk to their business as they could, but they clearly didn’t mitigate it enough.

At this point in time, this is the situation, but no one here should expect this to remain the situation in perpetuity. From what I heard, prior to this, Apple and AMD were jointly buying up all of or almost all of TSMC’s 7nm fab capacity. AMD has risen from the the dirt, and then later again from the ashes and is presently making the best x86_64 chips you can buy today. I’m actually disappointed Apple didn’t try to shop around for the 2019 Mac Pro CPU because they could have gotten much better all-around parts buying the equivalents from AMD for less and with lower power consumption. Ah well, can’t win them all.
That bright shining feeling has been tarnished by cancer hot-spots, mutated frogs, depletion of the ozone layer, nervous system damage from ethyl lead.

They were right, though: none of those are permanent. The Earth will survive us without difficulty.
This is why we have legalese, which people who aren’t lawyers tend to look at in the same way that people who aren’t programmers look at code.
> CCP has a policy of reuniting Taiwan with the mainland. If they could do it today, they would.

Then we can conclude that so far they haven’t been in a position to enact that policy, and that unless circumstances suddenly fail to no longer obtain, they will continue to be impeded.
OP's claim is quite bold and they did not offer evidence. I would describe it as 'unsubstantiated'.

To correctly say it is untrue, you must show another strategy actually converted at least hundreds of KKK members (perhaps more, as it's possible people beyond just Daryl got results from this strategy).

1. It isn't for sale.

2. TSMC is much larger than Apple's manufacturing requirements. To keep it running, they would have to commit to doing a lot of contract work for other companies, which really isn't Apple's style. Moreover, many of TSMC's current clients (like AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm) might be uncomfortable with Apple controlling the company, as that would introduce conflicts of interest.

3. Owning TSMC would put Apple in charge of the company's technology development, and would expose them to significant financial risk if TSMC suffered a failure, much like Intel has been harmed by their failures to develop a 7nm process. Contracting out their semiconductor manufacturing allows Apple to switch foundries if needed.
The HyperCard language, or a relative of it, still lives on in the form of AppleScript but honestly it’s a pain to use. The verbosity gets annoying really fast.

HyperCard seems ok to get something basic up and running quickly, but variations on it have existed for decades and never proved popular. I think Excel took over that role as the gateway to programming for many non programmers.
I wonder what the copyright status of these shows is? I wish I'd been a little more aggressive with wget a few months ago when IA was posting a lot of textbook .PDFs.
