Where does it say that? The pricing page says on "Writes" in the info tooltip: "Each write operation (INSERT, DELETE, etc) consumes write units depending on the number of rows, columns, and partitions it writes to." This

It doesn't explicitly support but today people work around it with one-time in-app purchases for all the functionality. Two apps I can think of doing this are Halide and Darkroom. But yes, you can't just pay $X upfront in the App

Honestly that's something they can probably offer separately, but I really prefer this pricing for most use cases where I want a database that is always available but has bursty request/response patterns. This means I can have an

You can in theory clock the Agilex/S10 parts up-to 1GHz, but something like 600-700MHz sounds more realistic, yes. (Note that this is in the same ballpark as what Virtex UltraScale+ can do too.) Also, regarding point 1 -- and I'm

Yes, but that's not the problem. The problem is these Agilex devices are insane overkill for that task, and you likely won't be able to buy the SKUs in a reasonable form factor or price for that use case. The Mister worked so well

Orin has support for FP16 of course, it would be insane not to have it when INT8 isn't viable for a lot of models anyway. There are some preliminary benchmarks that can confirm this that weren't hard to find.[1] The number juicing

Yes, Stable Diffusion performance will improve the more VRAM you give it. This is generally true of almost every ML model, because ML models are often limited by bandwidth. There is a constant need to shove more data into the accelerator, b

Yeah that's fair, VR titles are still a place where GPUs need more performance. I personally have no interest in them but yes the compute needs are in general way higher. Not to mention Flight Sim is a particularly intense case...

The 3090 Ti series was already pushing 450W so this isn't new.[1] And it's because they clock these things incredibly high, well beyond the efficiency curve where it makes sense. Because that's what gaming customers expect, b

No, go pick up a 3090 Ti from Best Buy instead. It's $999 right now -- over half off, maybe more with this announcement -- and has 24GB of VRAM, and can chew through Stable Diffusion requests in seconds versus dozens of seconds or minu

No, but not for lack of interest. I simply upgraded from 2k res + 2080 Super to 4k res + 3080 at one point in the last year or so, but I had already beat the game by then and haven't returned to it.

Eh, the current 3080 can already do 60FPS @ 4k HDR on every AAA title I've thrown at it, and that's with an mITX undervolt build (cliffing the voltage at a point). "60FPS @ 4k is readily achievable" has been sort of the

The example code uses an atomic store instruction in order to write values from threads to a memory location, and then an atomic read to read them. The system guarantees that a read of a previously written location is consistent with a subs

I am very happy to see this. Phabricator is an incredibly well written and deeply thought-out tool (even if people may disagree with some of its philosophies regarding e.g. patches and code review) and it had a tremendous influence on my ca

Yes, I have used it with languages like Bluespec and Lean v4, which have very little data (FOSS code on GitHub) for the model to work with. It's nowhere near as accurate as it is when using Rust or TypeScript but it's still mostly

Trial and error. You need to dial in the right point on the voltage/clock frequency curve for your workloads, AKA "just play some games and look at the results." Just use whatever your overclocking software for your motherboa
