Not the parent poster, but as a programmer I think it was an oversight to not formally define the VM. To me, this seems like a poor foundation to build resilient applications atop of. EDIT: And when I mean formally define, I mean something

$30K is the loan which is usually 1-2% APR. In Finland, which more or less copies Sweden policies, also gives you subsidized housing (50% or around 250€, which ever is less, median where I went to was around 400€ for 1bd apartment), subsidi

To my anecdotal experience, more like a market makers dream. If you do speculative HFT then for the unexperienced you may get crushed by huge slippages when exchanges crumble under a load. Notice that exchanges in the Bitcoin world either d

Not really. Copied it from somewhere else where the placeholder value was 7. 1 came to my mind before 0. Zero seems like it could be UB.

You could also push static HTML pages to the git root which have, e.g., <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=' https://news.ycombinator.com/ '" /> in the header.

> Can Rust be used also for compute? It can, but it's worth noticing that the programming paradigm is different. For this reason, I would assume you are still writing a DSL within Rust which can use Rust's type checker to help

Many vendors make routers which have 4G modem which then send out a WiFi signal + have Ethernet ports. In rural areas the ADSL prices started climbing up a few years ago and most moved to cellular (60 euros for 21Mbps ADSL vs 25 euros for 5

Sure, but compared to the 3080 I'd say that the main deal is the bigger RAM for copying reason than the increased core count.

by Jhsto 6y ago
Most parallel processing scales linearly with core count. But the 3090 is more interesting for machine learning because of its RAM, which it has 24GB against 3080's 10GB. With machine learning, you spent most of the time copying memory

You can run OpenCL kernels on Vulkan at least in theory: SPIR-V supports OpenCL memory model. CUDA might be machine translatable if you can compile into LLVM target (clang seems to have experimental support developed outside of Nvidia) whic

I think this guy will have no problem getting hired. Being conscious enough to push code online works so much better than the CV preparation courses. You know you're on the right path when you are asked to play up your CV abstract than

The way I see it is that academia and self-entrepreneurship are much alike. Comparing working in academia and for a company is apples to oranges, as working for a company is literally about working in company, i.e., not by yourself. It&#x27

In a sense GPU programming is similar to cellular automata. Each cell is an invocation on the GPU, and you can assume that you may have unlimited number of these invocations. You can freeze cells infinitely or temporarily, but you cannot gr

Similar experience with IDN domains. Most places altogether reject them, but those which accept them, only a subset accept IDN recipient in the mail address.

I refactored some scikit functions to APL and I found Python inscrutable in its own way: call flow bouncing from a file to another, from Python to Cython, method shadowing, and explicit parallelization. From a productivity standpoint Python

Yet the representations are bijective, no? Doesn't it imply that (assuming a complete and consistent translator, a huge assumption I know) that any SPIR-V works as-as in WGSL? Regardless, I appreciate your efforts. A huge disappointmen

Thanks for the correction! I don't know the details on the second iteration (assumed same applies as with the first gen), so I assume you have better information.

More like Excel killed APL. APL was mainly used by "domain experts", i.e., people who were not software engineers. According to Dyalog's YouTube videos, APL is still there for these people who started doing spreadsheets way b

Do you think that software should be architected as autonomous agents for it to scale infinitely? I watched an Alan Kay video [1] some time back. In the video, he had an argument about how software systems cannot scale unless the basis is t
