To expand on this:

GPUs are (basically) hardware devices for doing vast numbers of matrix manipulations very very fast in parallel, with limitations on the size of the matrix.

CPUs can do matrix manipulations, with less parallelism.

Things like TressFX uses the tridiagonal matrix algorithm[1] to solve a linear system representing the hair constraints system. This could be implemented on a CPU as well, doing exactly the same thing with the same algorithm. It would run slower though!

Every year 100s of billions dollars of black money/corruption money goes from the 3rd world countries to the rich countries. Terrorist financing got the west to monitor the movement of black money but they still have left loop holes and were not going after developed countries and other tax haven countries. Panama leaks and other data breaches have started shining a light on this and the developed countries have had to do something.
In GA you have to pay the deductible unless you opt for additional glass coverage.
This isn't new, nor is it only related to China. Mexico, Russia, many middle east countries, and whole slew of other places has poured billions of cash into Canadian real estate. It's done via regulated banks who turn a blind eye because there nothing illegal about how it's being done. The are skyrises being built in every major city in which 95% of the tenants are not Canadian, and they sit practically empty. Some city blocks are a virtual ghost town of empty buildings the most Canadians can't even afford.
The model 3 is more efficient too. The model 3 gains about 5 miles per kwh, but the model S only gains 2-3 miles per kwh. You get less in cold weather because a lot of power is diverted to heating the batteries. Even in San Jose, in the winter, charging outside dropped my miles gained to 1 mile per kwh on L1.

Higher amps are also more efficient. I believe the tesla mobile charger on L1 is 70-80% efficient whereas running at 40amps is 80-90% efficient.

The car’s energy meter can’t be trusted. The energy the car sees vs the energy the power company sees is different.
The fact that Tesla is not entirely vapourware doesn't mean that Musk hasn't lied or even committed fraud to get here. Lying to investors to fund a billion dollar company that is actually worth a few hundred million is not that different from funding one that is worth 0 dollars.
Censorship was and is still never the right way. Who is checking those private "fact-checkers"?
I think this is a Google Translate feature, and one of my favorite examples of "Do what I mean" UX. If you click again, for any word, it guesses that you didn't get the pronunciation the first time, so it speaks slowly. This is what humans would do too, in this situation.
Collisions of light produce matter/antimatter from pure energy
Caring about something and announcing that you care about something are two very different things.
No, they are trying to execute exactly the same code. To quote the parent:

You can see that the fundamentals of bitboard manipulation (using the 64-bit number to represent the 64-squares of a chessboard) remain the same whether or not you're on a CPU or GPU.

In this case, you want the code to be shared between the two sides. Why write the code twice? Both CPUs and GPUs are very good at 64-bit integer manipulation.

The ceremony around co-ordinating threads and memory access is different, but the code that is being run is exactly the same.
This has to stop, unfortunately a lot of people like the money coming in, and politicians often don't have the most effective policies.

I think the inflow is fine, but there should be hefty taxes associated with the fact that the property is made valuable by the civic infrastructure in place in the country which only citizens are paying for.

One thing they could do is build apartment buildings in less sensitive areas, and designate them as 'foreign ownership allowed'.

Literally buildings would get built and remain largely empty, as a form of 'investment' (this happens in China) and so long as it wasn't affecting local prices too much, it'd be fine.

I wonder if they should pick a spot in Southern Ontario and declare it such a 'zone' where they only build 30 story buildings for this purpose.

Of course, the nature of the economic waste is laid bare.

It might be more appropriate for the local governments to be selling a special kind of bond or some other financial instrument designed for this purpose.
So? Wrong information is fine, misinformation is the problem.

If the entangled pair is measured precisely at the same time, both parties get the same value instantly. However this fact itself does not allow for actual communication/information passing. For that there needs to be a way to actually control the state. Or something like that Lol
I believe the correct number is over 2100, and it's up nearly 15% week-over-week.

Hopefully we are near a peak, but it never seems to register with some people that deaths lag cases by a few weeks, whatever the ratio may be.
House prices were soaring in Canada during the pandemic and the media couldn’t blame foreigners for once because of travel restrictions. Also the news reported on the rise of anti-asian racism. They should look in the mirror for blaming high r.e. prices on foreigners when it was proven that they only made up a small percentage of the market.
Halve of that is still based on naming things . TSMC's naming is still very optimistic about size.
>I always say that important scientific discoveries arise from better tools

I dunno, from Archimedes to Newton, and from Maxwell to Einstein, most important scientific discoveries arose from thinking breakthroughs (and led to better tools, as opposed to having been caused by them). The "better tools" at most helped verify it after it was expressed, not reach it.

It's the incremental, evolutionary stuff, that's mostly helped by better tools...
The Dutch had a great system where buildings that had been empty for over a year could be squatted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squatting_in_the_Netherlands

I learned about it after a trip to OT301 with some friends from the CouchSurfing meetup in Amsterdam in 2013. Apparently the law has changed though, and now people are being criminally charged for squatting empty buildings.
God forbid we have a housing market correction.
The amount global electronics waste the disablement of 2G and 3G is going to be astonishing. 15 years of perfectly working devices, rendered useless.

And no 5G is not a replacement. I can manage perfectly fine doing remote work with hangouts/zoom calls on 4G when needed and jumping to 3G/2G for calls and text. If you need security then you can jump on internet.

The 2G/3G spectrum is not open for amateur development.

5G is just for pushing more data faster down people's throats.

The only got feature out of 5G will be open RAN.

Another form of manufactured obsolescence.
Yes! I coded many games with Flash/AS3, which is regarded as low level these days, but it actually had a lot of abstraction over the rendering. For years I would battle with the opinions of the framework, usually attempting to smooth over it with my own even higher level framework.

It wasn't until I start coding directly with HTML canvas that I was finally able to produce code and workflows without the battle. I don't understand why pushing and popping to transformation stacks isn't the norm, when it is just sooo much cleaner. As soon as an underlying framework introduces an object hierarchy for rendering state, in the form of a display list or scene graph, it takes away so much of your ability to structure game state how it best makes sense. I would even say that ECS (entity, component, system) is often times an attempt to smooth over the opinionated framework problem, but it isn't all that great compared to plain and simple data structures for your game state.

I wish more people were using rendering libraries such as Kha (http://kha.tech/), building tooling on that sort of tech, and making those lower levels more robust and portable.
There are several factors driving housing prices, it doesn't mean that one vector shouldn't be regulated.

Have a look at the source, there is no server for this at all, it's a front-end only app. It's published via Netlify. You can also run it on docker locally.
I don't think this is generally true, there are lots of examples where you measure something with higher resolution than the tool's manufacturing precision (for instance, an STM) and similarly lots of examples where you use a lower precision tool to build a higher precision tool (for instance, a mill or lathe but optical focusing would also allow for a shrink if it weren't for the diffraction limit).

But moving a generation forward in precision is good, you only ever get close to perfect with diminishing returns.
In hindsight I agree the parent blog does appear to be baiting attacks under the guise of legitimate discussion, which I fell victim to.

They shouldn't be though.

What they don't realize is that the 'step above' them is getting way out their ability to move into, and they're getting stranded in the tranche they are in.

It's a big new problem with globalism that needs to be addressed.
That's not really a good analogy. Every interesting technology has its share of unhinged fanpeople. And it's not interesting to judge a technology by the behaviour of its fans.

There's only one real Achilles heel of EV tech and it's a big one—the limited supply (and the consequent high price) of batteries. If there was an unlimited supply of battery cells at a low price, EVs would be generally superior to comparable ICE vehicles in core objective metrics.

There are numerous secondary limitations of EVs, such as the availability of charging facilities where they are needed. But this class of problem is directly aligned with uptake. They solve themselves as more EVs are adopted and market share increases.

After switching to standing and seeing incredible gains in my body health, it's hard for me to consider spending on a good chair. I have a standing stool at the ready if I really need a rest, or at that point it means I need a break anyway. Oh and I started without a standing desk: just repurposed a piece of high furniture to find out if I can work this way. I was tired the first week but you quickly get to where sitting for long periods is unappealing!
Ironically it's people trying to get money away from the CCP etc. that is driving this.
> foreign buyers are only able to buy newly built homes

In theory, yes, in reality the largest single residential purchase in the country was $35m and splashed all over the front page of newspapers.

It took them 5 years later to realise it was an illegal purchase by a foreigner after he had a different dispute with the tax office.

If that sale slips through what hope do you actually have for any others?

> My experience with some early Android sliders (HTC Dream and HTC Desire Z) is that the keyboards don't have all the keys I need.

That's what the Sym button is for. Pop-up a menu on screen showing other, less-frequently used keys. Several apps included similar workarounds.

The LG F3Q did a good job with their keyboard, only omitting tab and pipe, but it was possible to remap keys to get those.

But then again, I'm from the dumb terminal days... I'm used to systems which are missing common keys, and using combos (e.g. Ctrl+i for tab) instead. Doing that on a physical keyboard was infinitely more productive than an on-screen keyboard, even Hacker Keyboard.
This is from April, I wonder what happened to it. What a stupid idea.
Yep. The proponents will point out the prebate, which is nice. It means that someone making below the poverty level income will get either a small bonus or pay 0% (it's reasonably safe to assume most people at that income don't have, unless they're a dependent, much ability to save). It helps. However, once you start getting to middle incomes and upper incomes it quickly becomes regressive, like all sales tax-based proposals. People earning $1 million a year aren't spending $1 million a year, or would be able to spend or invest it on things that this tax doesn't cover. A family with $100k/year gross income would find themselves paying a higher percentage than that millionaire.

Because, increasingly, doing your job is a mind-numbing, passionless activity? Most people retire as soon as they have an opportunity, and if they don't it's because they need more money. Imagine a world where people often take pride in their jobs and keep working past retirement age because they enjoy it. Is that fantasy or science-fiction?

If it looks like either the stock market or the housing market is about to crash, the fed will print unlimited amounts of money to prevent that.

The only problem is that the rational action with that knowledge is to buy in as soon as possible, with all your cash, thereby making the bubble even bigger. It's a death spiral of inflation.
Totally agree, I cook more food, learned more recipe, wash my clothes more frequently, my house is more clean and organized.

Contrasting to a 9-5 job, I would rather just order takeaways after getting back home from the office.
Probably not wrong but…

If I’m not shooting anything “important” i.e. no one is paying me to get the shot, i generally just use either JPG or JPEG + Raw but make changes in the camera.

I love the film simulations that Fuji give you. It’s a case of set white balance, set the film preset and go.

There’s something satisfying about the simplicity it.

Learning post processing really well is as much work as learning to use a camera IMHO.

I don’t have enough time to do that as well. Plus, I’m ashamed to admit, I think occasionally I’ve occasionally done a worse job in post than straight out of camera.

I think I’d be too terrified to that for something important though but then I don’t shoot weddings anymore.
Because that's extra work to wire them up? Until recently Windows wasn't even in Git.
Overseas buyers just get permanent residency and citizenship and buy houses. A few years ago you just needed ~$NZ5m invested in the country and you get permanent residency. There is no way the prices are driven by domestic money.

My factory supervisor brother has a house in Mangere Bridge, a blue-collar suburb, built for ~$100k 20 years ago is now well over $1m. It is batshit crazy. I hear of eye-watering prices in Manurewa, Otahuhu, Papakura.

I don't, sorry! That's how much I use on a prepaid SIM card now in New Zealand, and is typical for my (very low) phone usage.
For my first book (https://www.amazon.com/Learn-TypeScript-Building-Application...), I have gone down the classic path. Overall, that experience was far from great. I suffered through the process, and it was painful towards the end, as more parties got involved, and often created more problems than they brought solutions. Of course your mileage may vary; I have no doubt that there are much better publishers out there.

I was forced to use specific tools/platforms to edit the content. Those tools were slow, buggy, didn't clearly show what was changed, etc. This was incredibly painful.

Obviously, one should not do it for the money. You can get quite a lot if you're lucky enough to be an outlier and write timeless content, but it's very unlikely. I personally went through the process as I was getting started with freelancing and wanted to boost my visibility. It served its purpose, but the opportunity cost was huge.

Once the book was released, my publisher didn't invest a whole lot in marketing the content. I did what I could on my end, which kept the sales going, but I felt left alone. Again, it depends on your publisher, and on their belief in your project; your mileage may vary there too...

For my new project (https://dev-concepts.dev), I have decided to self-publish. Here are my reasons:

- Freedom
- Ownership
- Financial
- Responsibility

While self-publishing, I can write at my own pace, without external pressure (apart the one I put on myself). I can set my own rules, my own process, use tools of my choice, etc.

Importantly, I keep full ownership. Everything I write remains 100% mine, and I can repurpose anything I want to create new content (e.g., video courses, blog articles, etc). This is a key point for me! I also get to decide if I want to give away free copies of my book.

From a financial point of view, 100% of the benefits will be mine. This means that I can sell ~5x less copies and still make as much money. I also believe that self-published projects that have a solid copy and are marketed correctly have much a better chances to generate money.

The thing is of course that if you're alone, you're alone. Noone else is going to help, review the content, find technical reviewers, provide you a toolchain, fix typos, etc. Personally it doesn't bother me; I find that liberating and empowering!
The quote is from further up this thread we're in:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28002731

It's verbatim from Elon Musk on Autonomy Day 2019, per this article:

This is the same event where he promised a million Tesla robotaxis on the road by 2020.
The brakes latch in Hold mode so while you aren't using the brakes, the car is using them.

That being said, they don't engage until the vehicle has come to a complete stop so there's probably little if any wear incurred.
Even ignoring the extremely explicit Robin Hood example that's already been pointed out, there's a hell of a lot of fiction centered around going to the lair of a dragon that does nothing but hoard gold, and killing it. Possibly you missed the subtext when reading those stories, but the gist of it is that society is totally fine with not caring about an extremely rich person losing a tiny fraction of their wealth.
It doesn't work like that: you can only measure the state, not set it. Measuring the state does change something (it collapses the wave function, in the Copenhagen interpetation) but not in a way that's measurable by the person at the other end. You can't tell if the wave function collapsed just by measuring one of the entangled particles.

There's a theorem in QM the guarantees that you can't use measurements on entangled systems to communicate:

I love that video. I tend to link it when I want to explain Dwarf Fortress to someone.
I was referring to the "David Cutler (designer of VMS & Windows NT) criticizing UNIX i/o architecture" comment above, which apparently refers to Dave Cutler's criticism of Unix as "Get a byte, get a byte, get a byte byte byte", which seems to me to refer to the Unix/Linux style of programming (in which programmers overuse things like getch() and putchar()). Whew.

But. There's another, much bigger difference between Unix and VAX/VMS/WinNT: The way I/O operations are handled in the kernel itself. In Unix systems, the kernel just passes I/O operations directly to the driver code, which immediately tries to do the operations on hardware. It's a very microcontroller-ish view of the world. WinNT treats I/O operations as sort of a "packet" which encodes the operation to be performed. That packet passes down through the layers of the kernel, including 3rd party modules and eventually drivers, until the operation is performed on hardware. Then, another packet percolates back up the stack to your app with the result.

Things like antivirus, dropbox, etc. can insert themselves into the stack and intercept/modify/reroute I/O operations and results globally.

I think that Linux probably has something like this, or you can probably cobble it together by using async I/O, io_uring, and/or eBPF.

Thanks? I'm a ML researcher. I thought the comment about ViTs would have been a dead giveaway. Is this nerd-splaining? Because it is really demeaning and you're missing the entire point.

While you're right, inference is not training but accuracy and inference speed is still important and hardware dependent. YOLO still can be faster and more accurate. Everything I said still holds true. You want to do inference on larger images because larger images have more information. More information helps you get better accuracy. You want bigger networks because bigger networks correlate strongly with higher accuracy. If you read any object detection paper you will see different sized models showing these tradeoffs. You want faster hardware because you still want your algorithms to be fast. Inference is still done in the car. Better hardware still makes all that perform better.

> The really hard part of this project is on training, not inference.

If you pay attention to the YOLO series or other real time object detection you will know that inference is still something being worked on. Inference speed matters. Throughput (different metric) matters. Hardware helps with both even if we use the same pretrained network. A network will have faster inference and higher throughput on an Ampere card than on a Kepler. So I'm not sure what you're debating here, it really feels like you're just trying to tell me you know machine learning but missed strong clues that you're talking to someone else who is aware.

TLDR: hardware still matters.
