Depends on whether that hardware is shared between threads or not. Physical registers are usually shared.

Surely there are more Android users than iPhone users worldwide, and if you target Android you target Vulkan.

The RX 7900s are pretty good. You get 24GB of RAM in a consumer GPU. If you're interested in GenAI that's a good offering for your "gamers, students, hobbyists" category. And they announced a workstation version with 48G

The title is just weird framing in general. In a large company, the CEO's role generally shouldn't be having ideas, except perhaps in companies that are still founder-led (though even then I'd be skeptical). Instead, their ro

That's basically the thinking behind some of the flavor of market socialism. Allow private companies, and allow or even encourage market competition in many areas, but have some mechanism by which large, established companies move to b

Yes, but isn't the effect on the network a different one now? With encryption and authentication, your single character input becomes amplified significantly long before it reaches the TCP stack. Extra overhead from the TCP header is s

Not really, for two reasons. First, merge only ever allows you to arrive at a single commit, so it's strictly less powerful than rebase. With rebase, you could start with a sequence of three commits, "A", "B", and &

Market socialism. Or some in-between that recognizes that wealth and corporate power has a genuine responsibility to society as a whole. Myopic focus on profit as the only metric is the biggest problem, after all.

There is never a good reason for cookie banners, by definition. The rule is that if you have a good reason for your cookies (i.e., basically one that isn't user-hostile), you have nothing to worry about and don't need a cookie b

A crucial difference to the other examples is this. Compilers and spreadsheets are deterministic and repeatable, and are designed to solve a very specific task correctly. LLMs, certainly in their current form, aren't. This doesn't

They mention that there's a rare freeze bug. That does sound like it's most likely one of those orphaned lock problems or similar.

Sure, but that's because you've clearly thought about the matter a lot. A sibling comment mentions that teacher go through mandatory reporter training -- if that's the case, then maybe you're right (depends on how freque

I don't think it's insane for a teacher to forward evidence of problematic stuff happening with a kid to the kid's parents. After all, many parents think their kids are angels who can do no wrong. Granted, in this case I agre

Maybe I'm a dinosaur, but I wouldn't just approve an individual Copilot subscription either. The problem isn't the money, it's the copyright and whether trade secrets are being leaked. Those things can surely be solved,

I'm maybe in a similar situation as OP so let me clarify what I would ask -- might be the same as them. Citizen and resident of an EU (Schengen) country, de facto working for a US company, though the employment contract is a standard e

... but only on the volume it is explicitly given access to. So, if the library was IO-less (and didn't use unsafe code), you could embed it in some tool, e.g. for forensics, and not have to worry about it compromising the security of

And you would iterate through that sequence? That's exponential time in the bit length of the input...

If the property of "io-lessness" becomes something statically verifiable as part of dependency handling, it also seems potentially beneficial as a guard against supply-chain attacks.

If anything, the HDMI situation is an argument to put more code into closed source firmware, not less: https://www.phoronix.com/news/HDMI-2.1-OSS-Rejected

> CPUs don't really have firmware in the same sense. How would you classify e.g. the Intel Management Engine and the firmware that runs on it?
385.
by atq2119 3y ago
Yes, that's a problem, but it's also a bit of an unfair dunk. After all, your CPU almost certainly runs firmware with all the same issues. Not to mention all other GPUs from all other vendors. Despite all of the noise-making, I do

I haven't seen the original comment, only what is quoted in the article. What you're writing is a pretty gross misrepresentation of at least that quoted part, which simply makes a statement about gender ratios and that they can ha

Nit pick: SRAM is not built out of flip flops. It's carefully sized inverters and a whole lot of analog magic (writing a bit involves overpowering the inverters of the bit with larger drivers). You may be thinking of latch arrays.
