It looks more like a cascade of a P controller (theta setpoint to gamma setpoint) with a PD controller (gamma setpoint to torque). But yeah, basically just classical control.

Excluding the coast and the east bay, it is not really a concern. A tsunami would have to come through the golden gate channel and make a quick turn to get to Mountain View with any strength. The inundation map for Mountain view is here: h

This seems potentially backwards to me. If we apply a voltage source across the terminals, parallel coils between the terminals would result in higher voltage across each coil than would series coils. With series coils, the total voltage ap

I understand that it's a stretch; thus the "in some sense" and "close". See my last sentence. It's not clear to me how you could reformulate analysis, which in many ways is the study of the infinite, into discr

Yes. Here is a paper from some Japanese researchers in 2015: http://www.hapis.k.u-tokyo.ac.jp/public/hiroyuki_shinoda/res...

In some sense, don't the modern formulations of real analysis, etc. already start from as close to discrete maths as you can get (set theory)? Sets -> Naturals -> Rationals -> Reals I don't understand how you could reform

I'm pretty sure they recently restructured by creating Rocket Lab US and making the existing Rocket Lab NZ a subsidiary to get more flexibility regarding some arms restrictions.

Last I heard, you had big claims and have yet to test your ideas in physical hardware. People will probably be less likely to ignore you if you have something that you can demonstrate being able to manufacture reliably and that you aren&#x2

No, it's like saying the only compiler for x86 is created by Intel (paid for by the sale of processors) and they therefore don't have an incentive to make the compiler particularly good at optimizing. If it does a better job at op

Xilinx has a pretty clear disincentive to optimizing Vivado for minimum area. If it does a bad job optimizing, the user is forced to switch to a larger FPGA -> more $ for Xilinx.

> more CPU vendors more risk averse Seeing how Itanium went, their risk aversion seems pretty wise. Itanium seems to satisfy most of your desires with its VLIW/EPIC architecture, which exposes much more to the compiler.

Higher frequency on power lines would be less efficient, not more. High voltage DC is the most efficient, but is most expensive because you can no longer use transformer for step-up and step-down.

TI definitely did not have a monopoly on ICs for those 25 years. Those first patents were on Kilby's process which was essentially abandoned. Fairchild and Intel did a tremendous amount of work getting ICs to be more useful over that t

Frankly, I don't care if the page is titled "FUBAR license XYZ123" since I was asked to agree to the EULA at the third link alone. The third link is presented and you agree when you try to download the GeForce or Titan driv

My apologies, I misunderstood. The CUDA toolkit license online doesn't appear to have this clause at this time.

by andars 9y ago
CUDA requires the kernel driver. All three licenses matter.

by andars 9y ago
No. Tesla and Quadro are definitely exempt from this potential update to the EULA, and you can have a lot of GeForce cards outside of a datacenter.
52.
by andars 9y ago
It probably depends a lot. There is the SXM vs. PCIe distinction plus discounts for bulk and all kinds of negotiations.
53.
by andars 9y ago
But you can already not buy a datacenter's worth of GeForce; they have limitations on the quantity per customer. That seems like a far more effective measure than this clause.

Sometimes. The GeForce GTX 690 used the same chip as the Quadro K5000 (the GK104). More recent generations typically have different silicon (or bins with defective regions) in the pro and gaming lines. For instance, high end pascal gaming c

Just curious, what cards are you comparing when referring to the 10x multiple?

I just tried for Titan V on Linux through geforce.com and got a EULA without this clause. Downloading through nvidia.com probably gets the no data center EULA.

by andars 9y ago
Of course it matters which version we are looking at. It was not initially obvious to me that this clause was added, not removed between 2009 and now. See my edit: Two different driver download pages link to different EULAs.

So, my summary: Unsourced Japanese news outlet published an article claiming this clause was added to the EULA. (Edit: located here: https://wirelesswire.jp/2017/12/62708/ ) This version of the EULA, located

Anyone else bothered by the 2009 in the url? Edit: Some driver download pages currently link to this page.
