What? Since when is making nuclear weapons obsolete a noble goal? I am really confused. Rheinmetall is heavily investing into autonomous AI for ground vehicles. The drone swarm memes are starting to get real, except flying drones were a stupid fantasy fueled by cheap imported plastic drones rather any any capability that they offer.

>Sad thing is that 1. Whole EU has to suffer because of this 2. You can't stop thinking "What it would be like if Germany actually stepped up to lead with understanding"

I've worked in car sales for over a decade. I've always hated the service departments for their totally militant focus on extracting as much money as possible from customers, with any concept of value or honest recommendations be damned.

The last few times I've stepped into several vet offices, I get the exact same sense of money extraction and even see many of the same methods/training/tools/tactics.
I didn't make that comparison, and it has nothing to do with the conversation.

I found the introductory chapters (1-3) of this book[0] quite good. It is different from the NVIDIA CUDA C++ guide in that it uses modern C++ and has non-trivial real-world examples.

I also wrote a blog post [1] exploring CUDA to write a simple CNN inference module which you might find useful.

It usually starts with it being "fun", because you so release endorphins from playing/winning. The stage where they're only feeling numb is extremely late when they're already hopelessly addicted.

Not all fun things are equal however, otherwise you'd have to classify taking drugs and directly supplementing "fun" hormones as the best entertainment in existence.
DirectCompute is only the execution of fully trained neural networks, so they can skip all the gradient calculations, which are the compute-heavy and memory-heavy part.

To give you and idea, I need 24GB of GPU RAM to build a background separation model, but once it's finished, it's only 500kb of parameters and it can run on CPU in JavaScript in realtime.

As for the friction, CUDA is easy enough for motivated gaming kids to handle. AMD is not. But I'd predict that today's GPU enthusiast kids will become tomorrow's AI experts. As an example, look at the LAION chat which is a weird mixture of childish humor, gaming memes, and discussions about analytical approximations for probabilistic differential equations.

See my other comment, there was for some reason an incentive to NOT account for this. It seems stupid now that I’m out in the real world, but when you’re making £5/hour:

- stock or till shortfalls of small amounts like £20 that are threatened to come out of your paycheque feel much more serious than they were, especially when you’re a student in an expensive city and that £20 feeds you for a week

- the reason it happened is often known, there’s just a reluctance to account for it correctly. We are taking about very small amounts here

I'm glad somebody is making the distinction between scientific experimentalism and executing a protocol based on scientific research.

My data and Google's safety. Why does my phone needs access to storage ?
We have raw USB in a web browser. I can access my USB security token from the browser right now. I can access my raw keyboard USB connection from the browser right now. How is network access have less demand that raw USB? Even simple thing like mail client can't work in browser without using third-party server (and sending your password to that server). Same about ssh client, etc. A lot of apps are currently impossible in browser or security nightmare because of this artificial restriction.
Or, it's like they're incentizied to believe and promote what they're doing and new and different because it's a way to short circuit the current financial system and make money without having to have all the same connections and rules required to make that work in the current system.

Nice project though as someone else said it basically replaces one proprietary commercial VBA with another proprietary commercial VBA. There have been at least a couple of those who ended up being abandoned.

Also the cost is both very high (after a handful of months you'd have paid more than what VB3 standard was sold for and the IDE certainly looks way less functional than VB3) and lacks any perpetual license. Also it isn't mentioned anywhere in the preorder page, but since it requires a subscription, that means that it most likely uses some form of online checking DRM, which in turn means that when the company shuts down and/or abandons the project, all that money would be lost forever.

That said i tried the demo version a bit and seemed to be ok, at least unlike other VB-clone attempts this one seems to have a visual designer (though very primitive). The IDE was a bit buggy and very sluggish and the theme felt very alien and not that well made. Why not use native controls like the applications themselves? The way it looks and feels now is like those early WPF demos, full with sluggish motion and blurry text.
NVIDIA gets a lot of flak (and rightfully so) but CUDA is a really approachable API. Considering how much complexity it encapsulates, it could be a lot worse. The concurrency primitives, C(++) integration and memory management are quite good. The profiling and debugging toolkits that come with they CUDA stack are also world-class.
I really wish the could become a better citizen in Linux and OSS at some point.
Note that this is about pre-hooks react, see also the response from Dan Abramov at the bottom of the article. A lot of criticism isn't valid anymore in the hooks-style react (although it comes with is own problems).

You could do that on kickstarter. An audience exists there already.

In our case, we train on NVIDIA and then port to C++ with AVX. It's a bit more work, but deployment on AMD CPUs is even cheaper than on AMD GPUs.

Of course it is. Zig is an up-and-comer, so most established languages will be more popular at this stage. But Zig aims to be a mostly general purpose language (which is what the majority of mainstream languages are), whereas Erlang does not.
On older GPUs, that was the case. But ever since unified shader model became a thing, all the various buffers except textures are just generic chunks of memory similar to what CUDA deals with. In fact the 'modern' OpenGL approach is basically to tie together various pieces to get close to CUDA's model, where you deal only with generic chunks of memory with raw pointers to them (except for textures). The issue mainly being that it's a lot more boilerplate than CUDA's straightforward malloc calls.

I'm sure tattooed people would say the same about their tattoos. People are very bad at uncovering the origin of their behaviour and very good at retroactive rationalization.

That's a beautiful way to put it. Actually explains why some people find the books useless - they just didn't experience questions at the stage of their lives.
That "barrier to entry" line works for things that saturate broad markets... and that is definitely not the case with GPGPU. So when you try to use that line of thinking, given the incredibly well funded and hyper niche use cases it sees, it sounds as if you're saying that opencl is too hard for those dummies writing nuclear weapon simulators at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. And before anybody swings in on a chandelier with "but the scientists are science-ing, they can't be expected to learn to code - something something python!": take a look at the software and documentation those labs make publicly available - they are definitely expected to be comfortable with things weirder than opencl.
I think this is a bit of a fallacy (the decision to let people die). Do we know that all this money and processes (as described in the article) has led to better outcomes? Has the impact of the current methodology been objectively evaluated after excluding all other variables?

evil.example.com can easily set up a subdomain such that 192-168-2-44.home.evil.example.com resolves to 192.168.2.44, so requiring that UDP packets be sent exclusively within the same domain as the originating code doesn't help at all.

Interestingly, most of what they claim about MVC is false, and the problems they see with what they call MVC are mostly solved by following actual MVC, others by specific implementations of MVC.

I had only seen these misunderstandings in talks (particularly the "cascading", which true MVC absolutely prevents), which are difficult to refer to, so thanks for the link!

As I wrote elsewhere[1] : "having to say "the problems of MVC are solved by MVC" is less than ideal, because, well, you sound a bit like a lunatic."

Without making an attempt at implementation, you (the generic you, not the person I'm replying to) have no idea what the real issues are. Even failed or partial implementations are more instructive than armchair criticisms, or thought experiments where you can just handwave away all the competing constraints that need to be considered, whether in Git or in any erstwhile successor.

VPD | Remote | UK | Full-time | Full Stack Engineer | £70,000 - £90,000+

We’re a well-funded scaleup (no VC money) with big plans to revolutionise legal pricing: our software aims to bring an end to law firms overcharging clients, arbitrary pricing, and other bad practices that have existed for years.

Our two directors are recognised world authorities in this domain, and bring a number of signed firms ready to use our software. We've successfully onboarded one of the world's largest legal teams and we're now busy deploying to some of the top law firms, in the UK and abroad.

Our fully-remote dev team is small, and therefore you’ll have a lot of opportunity to make a noticeable impact, especially given the extremely flat hierarchy.

Our whole team is friendly, down-to-earth, and operates without ego. We think you’ll enjoy working with us, and we’re looking for similarly-minded folks.

The work is varied, challenging, and will be quite evenly split across the front and back end. Because of the need to get scheduled features out, fix bugs, and respond to the needs of newly onboarded firms, we’re looking for a seasoned React pro (hard requirement) who is also comfortable with Node.js, TypeORM (or similar), GraphQL,

A bonus would be if you’ve had any prior experience with Ant Design (our UI framework of choice), Storybook, CircleCI, Heroku, Jira, and any client support ticket work.

In summary, we’re looking for a versatile, full stack developer who (after a short period of learning the ropes on our specific setup) can hit the ground running and contribute to our fast-growing product and team.

I mean ... good?

People shouldn't be fighting for economic products and systems, they should be evaluating them fairly based on present capabilities. As such, even you seem to think we're 5-10 years from delivery on effectiveness (personally I'm on the 'never' side).

The current wave of speculation-mania and its associated out-and-out scams needs to come to an end. If there's any real use-case here, it'll emerge quietly and with little fanfare, because it can actually do things better than existing or alternative systems and will take over the market that way. It's not going to emerge from "HODL TO THE MOOOOON".

(And it's certainly not seeming to emerge from an incestuous community of 'funds' and 'investments' offering unrealistic returns while all speculating and investing with each other!)

(I see you agree that it's good these things get shaken out - great! My hope is they get shaken out so much that the regulators step and in and severely restrict anything marketed to the public, and anything related to PoW. After that, you do you, feel free to chase those unicorns)
