Yes, it is.

But my point is, even though they were already doing that, they were claiming 32GT/s last generation. But it's 64GT/s now. I don't think that's counting more pins, I think they're saying that each transfer is two transfers.

Not even. ROCm does not support any current-generation enterprise cards.

We're currently working on the data migration from V1! As long as you are using the same email as you did in 2019, you'll be able to see the image again!

As for a V2 generation, sorry, because the models are different, you'll have to discover a similar image again, if you want a V2 version!
>> I'm not Chinese, but I'd imagine that a country's image is more harmed by accusations of having backwards cultural and food habits

You forget the politics. CCP can never be wrong or do wrong. That would risk their rule. I'm pretty sure they would rather see the country burning than admitting guilt and incompetence. You can see that kind of selfish behaviour at most of the leaders(I would dare to say even in recent US history) but in an authoritan system this is made worse/more dramatic b/c there is no alternative(i.e opposition to replace leaders in a peaceful way)
In addition to the other comments: testing!

If people can disable iMessages, and also use other messaging apps, what is the issue here? If people don’t want to be in the “walled garden” are they not allowed to switch from iPhone to Android? Certainly someone willing to dish out the cost of an iPhone can afford an alternative device if they wanted one.
This is hilarious to me.

> How many messaging systems has Google had over the years?

The article answers that:

"Google's messaging history is one of constant product startups and shutdowns. Thanks to a lack of product focus or any kind of top-down mandate from Google's CEO, no division is really "in charge" of messaging. As a consequence, the company has released 13 half-hearted messaging products since iMessage launched in 2011."

I'll hazard a guess that most of those products were left to wither and die due to an inability to significantly advance Google's "eyeballs monetisation" strategy.

Totally agree. And I'd argue it's not even a new trend. Consider Infocom's Z-machine. What was that if not the Electron of its day? And the right decision from both a technical and business perspective.
> The term gigatransfers per second is essentially Gb/s

It's not really that either because PCIe 2.0 was "5GT/s" despite being only 4 gigabits per second.

You could make some kind of argument about pre- and post-encoding bits, but that still falls down in other circumstances. Gigabit ethernet has five voltage levels per lane, 125 milllion times a second. What's its MT/s if the answer isn't 125?

> the 256 GB/s is for a PCIe x32 connection

What makes you say that? The chart says x16.

I did this at Boston University (night school at MET) over 4 years. 10 total classes, they do 3 semesters a year, and I took 2 semesters off. Overall I liked it, solid program, assisted me later when the credential helped validate me to hiring managers and then later to investors. It also forced me to study deeper and become much more serious about the foundational knowledge.

The most hilarious part to me was that I did my undergrad at BU and it was ~$200k total over 4 years for a CS degree pre-2010 (BU has since gone parabolic in cost and is now over $75k per year!). My entire masters at night was ~$30k from 2012-2016, and I get the same institutional signal on my resume.

Why? Grad students taking night classes have to typically pay out of pocket, and want value for their money. Undergraduates, especially the enormous quantity of non-STEM majors, are not thinking rationally and take out huge debt for an experience.[0][1] This colors my opinion on why the government should not guarantee unlimited undergraduate debt - the cost problem would be solved overnight if students had to actually pay their way.

[0] BU has an indoor lazy river that they try very hard to de-emphasize and keep images off the internet of. However it does exist as a "recreation pool" https://legitcampus.wordpress.com/2013/06/01/hey-boston-univ...

[1] BU is a school full of rich foreigners and trust funders. When I graduated (granted it was shortly after the iPhone was invented) the total number of CS students graduating out of a total class of almost 4000 students was 30! 30 whole CS majors out of 4000! The communications school was something like 1000 students. CS classes were in the basement of the math building, and the ceiling was falling down, pipes were banging, and I'm positive asbestos was rampant. A rich donor has now funded a new enormous CS building, but the capital cost will continue to add onto BU's enormous tuition as it expands ever further into Kenmore and Brookline https://www.bu.edu/articles/2021/update-on-bus-center-for-co...

This is the standard ISP arguement that I never understood. Google pays their ISP and any other ISPs they are using for peering, but they don't HAVE to pay your ISP. You pay for your usage.

However, it could be something employers would want to use when you are working remotely. Unfortunately.
They've been making that tech for years, every office and school classroom I've been to in the last 10 years has that now. This is just another stupid shot in the dark. Maybe someday someone will actually find a useful purpose. We are limited by what we can't even imagine so there's always hope but until then, I'll let those with deep pockets spend the energy trying to find a good use for it.
Making it available via a static file host dramatically lowers the barrier. If you have an interesting dataset, you can even throw it on github pages and pay nothing; that likely is not true for your mongo db server.

A typical request using indexes will be less than 10 separate 1KB GET requests, not 50. But yeah, more work needs to be done on performance.

Whether it makes sense to fully download the dataset depends on the project; maybe it does not. But it doesn't have to be a monolithic file. You can use SQLite's multiplex VFS to split the SQLite file into many smaller pieces (and still update the db later!).

Modern applications languages: Clojure/ClojureScript, Java, F#, C#, Visual Basic, Python, Javascript, TypeScript, PHP, Swift, Dart, Go (included even if it's labeled as a systems language). Of those only Swift does stable ABIs.

Yep, not shipping (native) compiled code is usually how you end up with no ABIs. But these these languages and runtimes still don't really support optimizations of data structures very well, I think it's largely because they weren't specified and implementerd to do it from the start and now there are all kinds of ingrained things about the semantics and estsabilished implementations and user expectations that get in the way of doing big things like feedback based rewriting of data layouts.
Amazing now I can create my own anime girl!
I think the point is gecko is to blink, as firefox is to chromium. Sure, there are various browsers based on chromium out there, but they're not embedding blink. They're reskins of chromium with additional changes. How much more difficult is that compared to what goes into making iceweasel from firefox, I couldn't tell you.

But the "embedding gecko is hard, embedding chromium is easy" explanation certainly seems to be wrong, in terminology at least.
The html color attribute can be given either a hexadecimal string or a named html color keyword. I'm on my phone so I can't run their code, but it looks like it should work with both "blue" or "0000FF" (it might need to be "#0000FF"?).

So that actually makes naming it even more difficult, in my opinion :P
Totally agree...and the asymmetry in where people are sympathetic toward abused animals, but not towards people...is very fucking strange.
I think it's possible that the blue links do in fact derive from earlier work, but the article seems pretty muddled. The connection it makes from the earlier work to the web browsers seems to be via the impact it had on Tim Berners-Lee: yet the article once again argues (seemingly incorrectly) that it was Marc and not Tim who introduced blue links:

> Besides that, I was also bothered by the fact that even though I was able to determine that Mosaic was indeed the first browser to use blue hyperlinks, I was not much closer to determining why the hyperlinks themselves were blue.
Thank you for pointing this out. I kept out these differences on purpose, because it culturally divides us.

I am well aware of them: Croatian is not my native language. But, I learned it and I am conversational in the Shtokavian (Štokavian) dialect. I am Štokavski. This is the standard dialect of Croatian, in Croatia.

My family however were Čakavski. They spoke the Chakavian (Čakavian) dialect. They are from the islands of Croatia. Unfortunately, it is a dying dialect of Croatian that is Venetian in origin. It is not mutually intelligible with Štokavian, but everyone in Croatia seems fond of it.

I’m not sure what you mean by this question.

This is 16:8. That's not really fasting per se. The problem is that the term "fasting" is massively overloaded, covering the whole gamut from folks who skip breakfast (in 16:8 you can eat lunch at noon and dinner at 7-8pm) to ADF (where you eat ad libitum every second day) to some folks who from time to time don't eat 3, 5, 7, 14, or 21 days.

It's not really news that if you skip breakfast you can still stay fat. Ditto its not news if you don't eat for 3 weeks straight you super will. I think the interesting studies cover the in between. IMO.
> warned it could damage “international harmony”.

"international harmony" is just a front for hiding self-interest. Many elites, including the said virologists and bureaucrats, have significant financial or other ties with China. That's why any discussion of China and pandemics is very quickly buried with bullying and force [1].

Realistically, what are the odds that a NK launch could hit US aircraft traffic?

In fact what are the odds that any nation except perhaps Russia could? Could the UK? France? China? I guess they have the technology, but I bet they couldn't deploy it from thousands of miles away. For example, the somewhat heroic story of the UK bombing Port Stanley from from the Ascension Islands on the equator during the onset of the Falklands War ... (yeah, ok that was 1982, but still).

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

If NK had a sub off the coast of CA, then maybe, just maybe they could shoot down an airliner, although I'm still skeptical they could hit it with something that wasn't a sea launched Buk (i.e. built by Russia).
> it's a net negative for the end user

Indeed it is, however the end user is probably not the customer of the business. The business is serving its customers. Sometimes end user = customer. But often they are different sets of stakeholders with their own priorities. I'm not saying businesses go out of their way to piss off end users, but customer needs trump end user needs.
Have you never been asked to rate apps before? I heard about google "randomly" asking people to rate restaurants they recently visited, so "randomly" asking people to rate apps they installed doesn't seem too out of the ordinary. It's definitely not enough to think "Google is trying to create a facade of competition where there is none by stuffing the Play Store review stats".
I would say it's pretty obvious that the opposite is true: Almost all nation-states, corporations and militaries all march on perfectly fine regaardless of their leadership or management. You find only a few notable exceptions.

> Should everybody consuming every library fork it in case the author throws a tantrum?

Yes you should always fork open source projects critical to your project that are not mirrored somewhere safe, you never know when they may be inadvertently deleted, that's just common sense.

For dependencies, simply pin your versions and put library upgrades through a code review, that way no unknown code enters your system. Or just wait a couple days after a new release, the shit will hit the fan from all the incompetents.

> That hardly seems workable

Right, no one wants to do the work.

> For what? Sellers remorse. Author wrote something and gave it away, then regretted giving it away. Sorry.

For what? Buyers remorse. You blindly pulled code without looking at it, then regretted pulling it. Sorry.

There are surely economic niches where fossil fuels will survive for much longer than the 8–16-year transition period I'm talking about, for example in submarines and circumpolar research stations, but I think the picture for fossil fuels is considerably less rosy than you suggest. Burning fossil fuels requires not only continuing operational expenses to extract them from the ground but also capital expenditures to build machines to burn them with, unless you're just heating your house. And nowadays either the opex or the capex costs more than PV in many places.

Yes, undoubtedly ExxonMobil and Mohammed bin Salman will try to arrest this trend, just as Peabody Coal did. They'll fight like the devil. But they can't force their customers to pay them more than those customers would pay to get the same energy, ammonia, or Bitcoins from a renewable-energy-powered source. If it costs less to replace coal with solar power than to dig it out of the ground, it will stay in the ground. And that's why Peabody went bankrupt and ExxonMobil has been losing money since 02019.

Certainly could hurt. Saying anything related to China at that moment could sound like conspiracy theory, xenophobia or racism, certainly bringing in question the reputation and professionalism of these scientists.

Now... "Scientists believed..." Considering the realm of professional scientists, beliefs have no value and should be guarded unless sufficient evidence arises. They behaved well by not announcing it.

Their behavior maybe questionable if it has had any negative impact on the awareness of the problem. But that is another matter and not something one should omit if the problem, initially, turned out the be clearly serious. AFAIK, that was not the case.
That's only because it's a niche feature. If that was the official way to do it then it would be supported by everything.
Massive push for gag orders and having to sign in red ink over “severe punishment” for discussing anything related to COVID across the entire science community in China? Every virus related paper must be approved by CCP before publishing it or they’ll face severe consequences.

I have by default zero trust in CCP. So they would need to go out of their way to disprove it. Even then, I would question forgery and fake made up data to show to the world. Ethics goes out of the window when it’s party’s reputation.
