Simulations and pretty much any large scale modelling task. Why do you think people build supercomputers? Now that I mentioned it, I think supercomputers and the jobs they run are the perfect analog for AI at this stage. It's a probl

Yeah, I mean, 9 women can make a baby in a month so why not? Oh wait, it takes years to do all that and in the meantime you're wasting energy on not staying at the forefront of a hot tech trend.

Don't forget that "CUDA" involves more than language constructs and programming paradigms. With NVDA, you get tools to deploy at scale, maximize utilization, debug errors and perf issues, share HW between workflows, etc. The

I have been stranded twice because of Subaru firmware bugs which they knew about and failed to notify me. First one was the battery charging bug(which still happens even with the firmware fix, just more slowly). The second was the fuel ga

I hate that ikea uses the smaller sockets for so many of their lamps. I'm still shopping for floor lamps. Too many of them come with a reading light which I don't want .

I am sensitive to bad CRI and color temp(3100K FTW). I really like the cheap "torchiere", floor lamp/uplights on Amazon but am finally giving up on them due to issues with poor CRI. I find standard screw-in LEDs from Philip

Seems like you could get many of the benefits of a ribbon by using a laser to measure the vibration of the ribbon vs measuring the voltage. Of course the ribbon won't vibrate the same without a magnetic field applied so you could stil

Maybe to a small degree. Grazers might keep the non native grasses and invasive weeds in check (although that has historically been the job of wildfires). Grazers aren't going to eat mature oaks, toyon and other woody natives though.

This. Fire is an integral part of CA ecosystems and the native plant communities are dependent upon it. It does burn more frequently thanks to man, but citing climate change as a reason for the fires only makes you sound smart to the ill-in

Better battery isn't really an issue for factories. Same with sensors if you're saving the cost of employing a human, especially for dangerous work.

The allusion to trespassing makes me thankful I live in the western US where much more of the land is public. I don't know why that's my takeaway from reading this, but there you have it.

Funny, I just posted this story a couple of days ago. I think it was from 2014. There was a lot of noise about this sort of tech and then it just went quiet. I really doubt this tech is going unused. I suspect something like this was use
