Basically any parallel map-reduce operation using non-commutative reduce operators[0] is non-deterministic unless you specifically sort after/during the gather, or block on the gather (and gather to a thread-determined memory location). Sorting and blocking takes time. If you remove the sort/block, you will get a non-deterministic answer when operating on floats for a wide variety of reduce operations, but it will be faster. This is true of any parallel map-reduce, done anywhere (MPI, cuda kernels, openMP, spark, etc.), and is not unique to gpus/cuda.

> If you ask them to add a million floats in order, you get the same result every time.

There are a bunch of ways to add a million floats in order on a gpu, but they will all get you different results.:

* split the million floats into ‘n’ chunks, each chunk is summed, then you sum the ‘n’ results.
* if you sum results as they are gathered (you don’t need to block) you will get a non-deterministic result, as the threads finishing (outside of a warp) is non-deterministic in order.
* if you change ‘n’, your result will change.
* if you sort after gathering , your result will change.

TLDR: parallel race-conditions are nondeterministic. Map-reduce has an underlying race-condition that you can prevent, but it costs time/performance. Sometimes you don’t care about the non-determinism enough to pay the performance penalty to fix it.

The thing about Pinterest is that it seems to be offering something that it never delivers. A few years ago I was doing an image search and I was like, fine, I’ll sign up, I just want to see this image I’m looking for so I went through the whole process and they still wouldn’t show me the image I wanted to see. Have you ever had one of those dreams where you’re trying to run forward but you’re not getting anywhere? That’s Pinterest, at least in my experience.

I live in a high crime area 4th gen Altima is the most common getaway car in the city. If if am at a gas station with an Altima with full tint just parked I keep one eye on it all times. It seems like there was a time when honest lower income people drove used old trucks and cars that they maintained. But the US wealth level has increased to the point that we are essentially casting off 10 year old cars to be used by a criminal class that won’t bother to maintain anything, just constantly acquires cars and uses them until they break down.
If you date only within your "age group" there is little likelihood of having children. Why should you marry unless you're marrying to have children?

That is, give up on marriage and focus on making your partner happy.

Your suggested title is both vaguer and probably more wrong too: the thread claimed that cloud literally reflected the sunlight, causing less heat to go to the sea surface, there is no "masking" involved.

The current title is precise, the tweet chain is about sea surface temperature and the cause-effect of sulfur emission on the temperature. While it is related to global warming, and there might be other causes to sea surface warming as well, that is not what was discussed.

In my personal experience, you avoid repetitive stress injuries by shaking up how you type. Reaching for the mouse, moving where you hold your hands. It's the old way of teaching typing with a rigid posture that causes carpal tunnel, not the rectangle frame in itself.

Ergo layouts are nice in theory but they make it harder to touch type. The modern keyboard layout is an example of a standard that works: everyone can sit down at a keyboard and start typing, even if function keys are different here or there.

EDIT: Ah, of course I am just one singer in the chorus of self-taught typists responding.

Verge doesn't really do journalism that makes me worried about who owns it.

rtings does colour profiles of plenty of slightly less popular monitors that no one else does. It's been an invaluable resource for me.

This comment is genuinely nonsensical. I'd think that it's obvious that rich owners tend to push a conservative economic spin to preserve their wealth.

Most people end up on goodreads from search to see the reviews people left for the book....

Indeed. I use "curators" like KEXP[1], regularly check out what my local venues are playing, and just randomly click on stuff people have bought on Bandcamp in the purchases feed.

That said, I've discovered a lot of stuff I like using Spotify which I use when driving. Yeah it follows my initial genere choice a bit much, but could be a lot worse.

The first tweet has a picture (graph) that shows the North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly data over the past few decades, and the data for so far in 2023 is significantly higher than any previous year. That's the context.

The linked tweet was also the first in a thread which went on to establish the rest of what people are discussing. Twitter only shows the first tweet if you're not logged in though, so you may have reasonably thought it didn't continue beyond that.
Yeah, I thought the same thing. edit: of course the coloring book is a $40 CAD hardback. I mean $40 isn't a lot of money but I have a hard time justifying that for a disposable gift for my tweener kid.

I do not, this is not my area of expertise. Cross integrations are ongoing, for example the model presented in https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/11/11707/2011/acp-11-117... (among others) was cross integrated for CESM2 by relatively recent contributions: https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/15/8669/2022/ (the latter incidentally explains some of the challenges)
Anecdote: Small client-side scripts for Starseige:Tribes were probably important in leading me to software development as a career.

There's a certain poignant sadness to how that era of relatively open modification has vanished--no longer can you customize a crosshair simply by replacing a bitmap file.

>The misconception is that data isn’t slow and graphics aren’t fast, at least relative to one another.

depends on the data/graphics. modern commercial GPUs are beefy (even when talking about integrated ones) and I suspect the Matlib kinds of tools aren't even tapping into a fraction of a percent of its power.

But at the same time 5 billion draw calls raw will bring even a decent gaming GPU to its knees, at least for responsive, real time applications. The trick is to first understand your data (e.g. that 5 billion triangles are useless on a monitor that has 1-4 billion pixels). As you said, even Nanite isn't truly trying to process a trillion triangles raw.

The steps from that understanding to a good enough approximation are indeed some dark magic.
it took them like 30 years to completely dissect a single amino acid which would hold huge medical breakthroughs. AI found it's own way to do the same but to every amino acid saving decades of tedious work. in two years we've gone from barely knowing the full innards of amino acids and how they work etc, and now we know all of them.

Earlier this year, an AI research lab basically cured a rare cancer in a week time.

Imagine having 200 MDs and biologists in a virtual world working 24/7 with real world Drs and biologists. Nobody will know who is who they just work together on aspects then use the virtual lab to analyze potential results before trying in a real lab.

The regular researchers of course won't be able to go 24/7 but while they sleep the AI researchers could solve 2 years worth of problems.

We are way more advanced than we know because we have knew, never before realized potential to quadruple research in scientific endeavors.

That's blatant misinformation, this A580 seems on par with RX 7600, same price, AMD has lower TDP, it was released May 2023, and the journalist dare to say AMD has been slacking off?! What Intel doing for releasing same GPU as competition 1 year later?!

>> Most prog-rock seems to me to be the band sort of "incohesive aimless noodling around for a while".

You made a point. Certainly one of the most common complaints about prog rock.

Interesting you mention African-American since King Crimson, one the granddads of prog is influenced by African-American music... which is jazz. Not blues though, like most rock bands in the 60s e.g Cream.
One of their nature is to write compositions that involves odd time signatures (not easy to hum to) and weird rythmical patters that doesn't feel natural, at least to average music listeners. Indeed very experimental. If you are into that stuff, probably you'll like Sun Ra. He's more difficult to grok, though.
That is weird. If you visit the Harz National park it will say the opposite:

Harz was a commercial forest, turned national park. The beetle is a danger for the monoculture required by the former commercial forest. By letting the beetle kill off the mono culture, more varied vegetation, trees and nature will spruce up from the decaying dead trees. These varied and original species are resistant to the beetle and the problem will solve it self. In some areas they man has planted indigenous plants to help speed up the process.
Even if the previous generation of star systems were teaming with life it would seem to be still incredibly unlikely to find fossilized life in asteroids. You have to think of how much rock there is in a planetary body vs how much would have ever been anywhere near something alive.

It's an interesting observation but I would want to know if bunker emissions from ships matched coal emissions from high sulfur coal or diesel emissions prior to the around year 2007 transition from low sulfur diesel to ultra low sulfur diesel had as much of an impact. Remember there was a huge concern for acid rain in the 1980's and 1990's and cutting atmospheric SO2 pretty much eliminated it.

Not discounting that coal is terrible for lots of reasons but there's a ton of variability on types of coal. One of the core reasons the coal industry pulled out of Appalachia is there were lower-sulfur deposits out in Wyoming... Some gov data: https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=37752

EDIT: https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/emissions-of-... Transportation is a small % of emissions compared to energy generation. There's been a regional shift though as North America moved to sulfur controls earlier for energy generation (1990) than Europe, and Asia has begun to climb as these regions went into decline.

This is the result of GPU computationally intensive tasks not being as simply defined as the CPU workloads. It was always thus for the various accelerators and HPC designs. They must make design choices that favor a relatively narrow range of computational patterns whereas the CPU will happily chew through a wider range of instruction sequences with the same performance.

The corresponding GPU software complexity is something that feels not quite appreciated. Yet if we are going to see the massive adoption of GPU's that the market projects, with multiple providers of hardware, we'll need some serious advances of the software side.

I have an a770 as my daily driver and it’s a great card. Especially at the prices. 16gb of vram, av1 encoder, can play most modern games with decent settings, good blender integration and the oneAPI libraries for compute are slowly maturing. If you don’t need CUDA or bleeding edge performance, it’s a great mid-level card at a price thats hard to beat.
The customer isn't the regulator here though, Costco is, and Costco can only do so with market power.

People aren't picking Costco because Costco has the best printers, they're buying their printers at costco because they're already at Costco buying groceries and clothing.

It's the same thing with apple -- monopolizing power gives corporations regulatory power.

> normal existing rules about truth in advertising would make sure the sticker is trustworthy

Take out one regulation, while leaving another overlapping regulation, and the regulation still works? This is switching the conversation to which regulations are the most effective, rather than saying that regulations are irrelevant.

So you are minimizing the pressure towards using cards instead of cash in the last years as contingent only. At least in Austria. And you are suggesting that now it is over.

You are also minimizing the point that Austria is not a disconnected independent self-ruling entity, but part of bigger systems and a subject in bigger systems. I said: are there still traditional bank cards in Austria, not readable from a distance? The wave to remove them seems to be international. Not only the apparently last international circuit (Maestro) using them was ceased one month ago, but I am not aware of traditional cards working in at least local circuits. Austria seems to be bearing "alien" pressures like the rest.

You have to see the waves coming to prevent them. That of Covid is suggestive: in the Fall of 2020 in Austria it seemed to be regarded as just an "Italian predicament".
Red Hat is not using that option. In fact GPLv3 restricts that option to physical products, which RHEL is not. By distributing the packages via SRPMs, Red Hat has a single method that complies with GPLv2, GPLv3 and also with the attribution requirements of permissive licenses.

Devcontainers are indeed the answer if you’re using VSC. I use the docker-outside-docker feature (there’s a few flavors of these) so my app can be defined with docker-compose. The experience is nice once you’ve taken the time to customize your image, settings, and extensions.

> Probably because the "bad parts" never applied to them since they had the right socio-economic background (connections to the party), and they knew how to game the system so that it worked in their favor (did no actual work but were reaping the rewards).

Without having to "game" the system, one could easily fall for the rose-tinted glass effect. I have seen it a few times in people that have lived through the war (WWII) and would have happily told you how their leader weren't so bad (including the one in bed with or directly associated with Nazism).
If I understood what you mean, it doesn't sound like it works in any practical sense, because Red Hat wouldn't take you as a customer for release n + 1.

1. You purchase release N

2. You distribute the source code to release N.

3. Red Hat terminates you.

4. You needed Red Hat N. You're doing enterprisey things or using software that runs on Red Hat.

5. Red Hat releases N + 1.

6. You try to get release N + 1 from Red Hat, because you're in the ecosystem, doing enterprisey things, using software that runs on Red Hat

7. Red Hat remembers what you did on release N and doesn't offer you release N + 1.

It doesn't quite seem like the purchase model. This barely seems to get you anything over what a Rocky or Alma or whatever scrape to put together with Red Hat damming distribution, so you might as well resort to them right at release N instead of paying Red Hat for it.
And they are all needed at the same time?

Quite the glowing review... enough to get me interested.

Do you have any specific examples or reasons you can share that might help force my hand?

I'm definitely tired of Google search, but not sure I'm tired enough to take on another monthly sub just yet.
there are indeed several reasons, but in this case I suspect the problem isn't even with the matplotlib (well, most of it). You mention traces that are GB's in size and that's the first big problem.

For reference, the newest Zelda game is a total of 18.2GB of storage, and of course Zelda isn't trying to audit the entire game on every load. Games spend a lot of time making sure their assets are lean, and at the end it is deployed in some binary format to further reduce its impact on a game. trace files that focus on human readability lose this compressibility.

So regardless of how fast the graphical plotting capabilities are, I imagine such an app is CPU bound from simply trying to parse that trace data. That'd be the first place I'd look to optimize (you know, without properly profiling your app. Probably something I'd say in an interview setting).
It make sence to not map all soviet people to russians after Russia started invasion and killed 150.000 civilians in Mariupol only and people in Russia support that. Many of them have Ukrainian family names and nationalities. Also many people in Ukraine resist invasion with Russian family names and nationalities. If Bogolyubov was alive then he could decide what side to support. So calling him soviet is correct way to go.

What practical use case could be for that new material? Can we make a battery with it or something practical?

I dunno, I was only a few months into my first job when covid hit. Going down all those rabbit holes alone was a massive learning experience. I'd much rather do all that head-wall banging and figure it out myself. I'd have felt smothered if somebody was checking in on my every couple of hours. But this does seem to be a fascinating difference with academia and industry. E.g, in gradschool I got 30 min a week with my advisor, and by some standards that is actually a lot.
OK. Let’s say Red Hat Linux Distributors Inc. is the software licensor. And Red Hat Support LLC is the support provider. RHLDI distributes software (and source) in compliance with GPLv2. RHSLLC has a provision in its contract that a support customer may not re-distribute any source that it receives from RHLDI.

Where’s the breach of the GPL? The reference to “You” in that instance, about not being able to impose additional restrictions, would have to be give additional words and meaning not present in the contract for that line to mean what you say it means.

If that’s what the license is supposed to prevent, it really needs to be written in a way that clearly addresses this fact pattern.
I had never priced it and expected something reasonable and it is $426 on Amazon…
