The title here, although it matches that of the linked page, conveys little information to anyone who doesn't already know what it's about.
("Modern GPU is code and commentary intended to promote new and productive ways of thinking about GPU computing. This project is a library, an algorithms book, a tutorial, and a best-practices guide.")
Perhaps something like "Modern GPU: NVIDIA's guide to making effective use of CUDA"?
- bluehex 13y agoTotally agree. However every single time I've tried to editorialize a title like this one to make it better the mods have changed it back to the page's title. I imagine a lot of people have given up on even trying to make informative titles. It's the worst part about this forum in my opinion.
- flatline 13y agoAnd the suggestion to make a blog post about it, then submit that, is really just encouraging blog spam, which typically gets flagged into oblivion. I know that I will do so - a one or two sentence blog post should not IMO be submitted in lieu of the article itself. I personally thought the ability to editorialize with only flamebait titles being changed by the mods was way better. Yes, it led to arbitrary decisions by the mods, but I see two problems with the current system: - Information is often missing from the original, as it is here - The mods are not always so quick to rename, and it's frustrating to see an article that I previously read changed to another title, resulting in confusion when I see it. Further, The current system actually incentivizes over-editorializing the title to get a post boosted onto the front page, knowing it will be causally re-titled by the mods in due course.
- ot 13y agoI absolutely agree, but I stopped editorializing titles because they were either reverted to the original title, o re-editorialized by the moderators. I can't change the title anymore, hope some moderator will.
