On linux mint, zoom works fine, with bluetooth headphones, attached speakers, bluetooth speakers, etc. Has for years (well, I started using it (bluetooth headsets with linux) in 2008 or so, and it worked then as well).

On windows, brand new Dell laptop for work, with an insanely locked down version of windows 10, zoom often crashes, especially when sharing my screen. This in turn takes down many other applications. Generally making the whole windows experience far from optimal.

My Sager Laptop a few years ago, and now my HP Omni (personal) laptop, I regularly drive 2 screens and the laptop display. Works. Out of the box. Work windows 10 laptop, its a crap shoot at best. And I can't use the NVidia card very much in windows 10, simply because the system is so locked down. Thus I'm stuck with an expensive and useless feature. One that works flawlessly in my locked down linux box.

On different scalings for different monitors, its built in to mint.

I'm guessing you are either running a very old version of Ubuntu (literally all the complaints you made are many years out of date, having been solved long ago), or you copy-pastaed from somewhere else. My priors on this are 60% the latter 40% the former.

On my linux laptop, I run windows the way it should be run (if you really need to run it). In a kvm instance. Never touching real hardware. And whats funny about this, is that the virtualized Win10 is faster than the far more expensive windows 10 work laptop right next to it.

Go figure.

FWIW, I've been using Linux on my desktop for 23 years, and as my primary OS on my desktop/laptop for 20 of those years. So ... YMMV.
Nope. Hay.
About the same as for leaf blowers.

It still is. According to TIOBE (yes, I know it's not reliable) Pascal is currently more popular than Rust, F#, Cobol, Lua, Nim, etc.
Thunderbolt to DisplayPort cables aren't a thing. Thunderbolt 2 was already a Mini DisplayPort connector that used normal cables for that; Thunderbolt 3 uses USB Type C and you can get USB C DisplayPort cables (using DP alt mode). No Thunderbolt features involved there either.

Converting Thunderbolt to DisplayPort is technically possible, but completely pointless because both TB2 and TB3 are natively DisplayPort compatible, at both protocol and connector level.
As a monolingual English speaker I often wonder about the subtleties of this dynamic among newer developers.

Is the difference in cognitive load among folks who speak different languages is consistent or even measurable? Does it bias a developer toward any specific pattern/mistake/misunderstanding/bug? Are there subtle mental-model-building advantages to decoupling software commands from their linguistic meaning through a language difference even if it's initially more difficult? Does the presence or quality of English instruction affect adoption of development beyond the first few weeks?

Could be cool to explore these things to see how they might inform pedagogy or even language design. Then again, my relatively naive suppositions might lend entirely too much weight to it.

The facial recognition battle is lost. The only power we have is over how we behave as the losing side.

Of the few options we have, one is normalizing wearing recognition-scrambling makeup/masks. Another would be to get stickers of eyes, brows, and noses, and place them in random places around your face.

It'd be interesting to see some studies of the effectiveness of the different methods.
Let me get you straight: you say that the process is trivial, yet you admit to have a worse than 50% failure ratio? What does “unsuccessfully” mean in this case? Is the part completely ruined? At what failure rate would you consider a process not-trivial?
No, you meant : "Rouille, c'est vraiment LA merde !"

Which, of course, while it is a diret word-for-word translation, has perfectly antinomic meaning in each language.

Uncooked meat has vitamin C, but is harder to digest and risks food born diseases. Cooking is the issue rather than the lack of it in chicken or beef.

DO does not have a good support channel. My droplet died. I couldn't reach it, and neither could the world. There was no emergency button for getting help. Just send in an email. After a small time window, I had to just delete and rebuild my droplet. Two days or so later, they got back to me and because I deleted it, they couldn't debug it. Two days to get back to me on a dead, non-reachable droplet. I don't think that is acceptable for anything running in production.

> So in theory one could install a GPU or HBA in one of those x1 slots on the motherboard if one isn't terribly concerned about bandwidth. Except most of the motherboards use x1 connectors which doesn't have an "open back" for larger cards... so much for that[1].

It's not so simple, there's another factor other than the number of lanes: power. According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Power), a x1 slot is limited to 25W on the 12V pins, while a x16 slow has a higher limit of 66W; the power pins are the same, but the maximum current is higher (2.1A vs 5.5A).
Could be. As far as i can tell they do not market themselves, word of mouth only work so far within their (German?) tech savvy audience. I was a student in Germany since 2003 and use Geizhals extensively for purchasing stuff, especially computer related stuff.

I was ranting about this with a colleague the other day.

I remember having a gaming machine in ~2009 running Windows 7, and outside of me screwing with it (overclocking, etc) it's been rock-solid despite being heavily used; I can't actually recall a bluescreen or crash that I couldn't blame on my own doing.

In contrast, 11 years later, my M1 Macbook despite getting nowhere near the abuse that gaming machine got (it only really runs a web browser and I definitely don't mess with hardware or low-level settings - I don't even have System Integrity Protection disabled) will randomly crash or sometimes fail to wake up and will require a forced shutdown every couple weeks.

You know, it's funny, while reading this thread I've been trying to remember if we have any such laws in my country. Then I realized that it probably doesn't matter, because we have a law prohibiting employing temps unless it's absolutely critical, i.e. you must offer full time employment.
As a WSL user at work, this addresses exactly zero of my problems with running Windows. Windows Defender is still going to randomly spin up and bring my machine to a halt. The Windows Start Menu with its ads is still there. There are still 15 pieces of device driver desktop experience crapware running in the background. The RAT required by our IT department is still resident. Adding GUI support doesn't move the needle: the missing feature is freedom.

But computers can behave differently based on user choice. Right? So there could be a user option to cut service beyond a fixed spend. It wouldn't be hard to implement, and tons of people would use it. They don't do it.

It's not a tragic case of priority and limited engineering resources. They like surprise bills, just like hospitals do.

Businesspeople love it when you come to their service and click through their Russian novel of a service agreement that would take a team of lawyers to parse. Once you do that, your money belongs to them! It's their court, their rules! They love it!

It's not bad faith. It's 'providing the resources you signed up for'.

Does it mean you have to go into your planning with more consideration as to cost? Yeah.

But how would you feel if your start-up finally goes viral, you're having your best day ever, and then your app just stops working because someone forgot to remove a hard spend limit?

Most people would rather see their app continue running.

And what does turning off the lights look like? If your database hits your cost limit, do you stop serving requests? Delete the data? To what extent do you want 'cost protection' for resources you signed up for?
How about reducing beef production for all of the other problems it causes besides climate change? Antibiotic resistance, pandemics, supply-chain fossil fuel demands, deforestation, resource waste (water and calories), animal cruelty, and air/water/soil pollution.
1.Sorry for the cynicism, but this approval is by Jair Bolsonaro's government, perhaps the most relevant Global Warming denier today. If it were meaningful it wouldn't be approved.

2. The overwhelming majority of beef production in Brazil is done by small producers that just don't care and are Bolsonaro's main supporters. The main problem with them is not even methane cow flatulence, is deforestation of the rain forest for making pastures.

3. The beef importers that could put some pressure on Brazil (e.g.: European Union) already gave up on importing Brazilian beef (since Bolsonaro began insulting Angela Merkel an Macron's wife).

4. JBS, the main beef processing company in the world, might use this as window dressing and to present a polished image overseas. But they're powerless to inspect how ranchers handle their cattle.

It is true in practice. The older style of mining rigs for certain types of cryptocurrency rely on a ton of gpus (6-18) connected via risers to every available pci-e slot on a motherboard, most of them being 1x slots. There are special motherboards for this that don’t even come with 16x slots, instead breaking that out into 16 1x slots to allow for more gpus to be connected.

Apple only takes credit card in most countries. This makes sense in countries where credit cards are the norm, but not in countries where credit cards are not the norm and far from ubiquitous.

OTOH, external payment providers (eg: stripe) often integrate with local payment mechanism.

In my case, local payment mechanisms are far simpler, easier, and secure. Using a credit card requires me moving money into my Wise account before I can pay anything, adding so many extra steps. Not to mention that I have to remember to transfer money every month before subscriptions get charged.

Plus, the whole online payment system with credit cards is utterly unsafe: share your "secret number" with all merchants and pray none of them leak it or overcharge you.
It's not a luxury at all in some regions. In higher altitudes for example where warm weather cycles are too short to grow a lot of crops (other than some type of grass) keeping livestock (for meat, eggs, milk) is essential for survival.

That's an economics issue, not a technology one. Books are mass market items where it makes sense to translate it once and sell the translation thousands of times. Putting a whole book into a translation software would generally be more laborious than tracking down an edition in the language of choice.

But in 1954 there were no web pages and reading articles or papers published in foreign languages was extremely rare. Nowadays, these are all translated instantaneously for free by modern web browsers with reasonable fidelity. And odds are these make up the overwhelming majority of the foreign language material a modern person consumes.
You have it backwards. Motorcycle riders are not going to swing over to electric at any time soon:

Bikers keep their rides for decades and

ICE motorcycles can last just as long and cars, if not longer, and

The price for entry on a new electric motorcycle is so far away from the price of ICE motorcycles it financially can not work for owners. And

There is little benefit to the environment to switch. Modern motorcycles have been sold with catalytic converters for decades, and they also get 40+ MPG.

Disclosure: I work for Neural Magic.

Hi ml_hardware, we report results for both throughput and latency in the blog. As you noted, the throughput performance for GPUs does beat out our implementations by a bit, but we did improve the throughput performance on CPUs by over 10x. Our goal is to enable better flexibility and performance for deployments through more commonly available CPU servers.

For throughput costs, this flexibility becomes essential. The user could scale down to even one core if they wanted to, with a much more significant increase in the cost performance. We walk through these comparisons in more depth in our YOLOv3 blog: https://neuralmagic.com/blog/benchmark-yolov3-on-cpus-with-d...

INT8 wasn't run on GPUs because we have issues with operator support on the conversion from PyTorch graphs to TensorRT (PyTorch currently doesn't have support for INT8 on GPU). We are actively working on this, though, so stay tuned as we run those comparisons!

The models we're shipping will see performance gains on the A100s, as well, due to their support for semi-structured sparsity. Note, though, A100s are priced more expensive than the commonly available V100s and T4s, which will need to be considered. We generally keep our current benchmarks limited to what is available in the top cloud services to represent what is deployable for most people on servers. This usability is why we don't consider ML Perf a great source for most users. ML Perf has done a great job in standardizing benchmarking and improving numbers across the industry. Still, the systems submitted are hyper-engineered for ML Perf numbers, and most customers cannot realize these numbers due to the cost involved.

Finally, note that the post-processing for these networks is currently limited to CPUs due to operator support. This limitation will become a bottleneck for most deployments (it already is for GPUs and us for the YOLOv5s numbers). We are actively working on speeding up the post-processing by leveraging the cache hierarchy in the CPUs through the DeepSparse engine, and are seeing promising early results. We'll be releasing those sometime soon in the future to show even better comparisons.

If you are happy and satisfied with your current life, then you don’t make any mistakes, no matter if there are cryptocurrencies or not. If you don’t understand cryptocurrencies, do not risk your fiat money. If you want to understand, use demo accounts and learn about every crypto product and why it has trading volume, is it because of market manipulation or there are many people who believes in it and even use it in some game, applications, etc.
Probably the same incentives as a farmer doing organic farming. If you can make a brand that is significantly more eco friendly that may be a selling point in itself. Then if it is significant in the amount of carbon it reduces some governments may start insisting it be used as part of their greenhouse gas reduction plan.
For me most obvious implication is that I mix english and german in (internal) comments, docs and spec drafts.

I also regularly can’t recall a german word, when there is an english one that is more precise and vice versa.
> standard American diet, which is practically vegetarian already

Not by any reasonable definition. Americans consume more meat per capita than any nation on earth. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_meat_cons...)

I'm guessing you're basing that statement on the article you shared showing that 70% of calories consumed by Americans come from plant-based sources.

1. I believe your calorie-percentage data points more to the high amount sugar and corn syrup in the standard American diet. Those two plant-based, calorie-dense ingredients skew the data. A McDonald's chicken nugget value meal with a regular Coke has a high number of plant-based calories due to the Coke, but it is pretty far from being a vegetarian meal.

2. Calling 70% vegetarian "practically vegetarian" really stretches the definitions of both words. Most Americans consume meat with > 2 meals per day.
None, the product grew from being controlled by a single-user desktop app to a multi-user web-based GUI (built with ASP.NET Core).
