Status quo bias. The previous behaviour was also affected by government policies including taxation and infrastructure spending. There is no objectively neutral baseline of preferences here as long as civilisation exists.

CMake can't do everything autotools does, but the stuff autotools does which CMake doesn't isn't relevant anymore in today's world. The fundamental curse of build systems is that they are inherently complex beasts that h

I'm not particularly fond of the whole "privilege" discourse, but this comment is a great example of somebody completely failing to understand a privilege they have. Which they share with many other people, sure,[0] but there

Not generally, no. This is true for some chips, especially (very) old or simple cores, but it's not something to lean on for modern high end cores.

Possibly somebody downvoted because "thank you" in all caps is not a substantial contribution to discussion. It feels like the kind of low effort stuff you'd see on reddit. Also, commenting on downvotes is generally frowned u

Ironically, that last point has come true! (Though to be fair, the button tends to be labeled both start and stop)

Has that really been established? The observable universe is finite, yes, but I wouldn't think that automatically implied that the universe as a whole is.

It doesn't, but whoever sells it needs to contribute back whatever they did with it is almost as good. It's not quite as good because some games still get griefers who sell versions on some market places without otherwise giving b

A lot of compensation works that way, to be honest. First order is that you get a percentage of whatever river of money you sit close to, regardless of effort or skill.

Calling it a red flag may have been too harsh. It's certainly not an immediate no. However, like it or not, it is a signal because it means you deviate significantly from the mode of the distribution. And a sober application of Bayes

Wearing a suit to a technical interview is an immediate red flag. Everybody knows you don't wear suits in this industry, so what's your motive? Your ability to wear a suit is irrelevant for the job, so what weaknesses that are r

A couple of things. In practice, most goods are actually priced as cost-plus, with very thin margins, and any response in prices is highly asymmetric. If the purchase costs for a good suddenly increase, retailers will increase prices very q

I actually agree with you, but the point is the balance. Don't steal. Don't share embarrassing or humiliating information you may come across. At the same time, there should be safety from prosecution overreach. I ask for this mos

The interesting bit is that social expectations matter. There is a social expectation that people can generally only enter your home with explicit permission, and so if they didn't invite you it's trespassing even if the door is u

Maybe? I'd love to hear if there are some good tools for it that can be integrated into typical setups with Git repositories, Jenkins or GitHub Actions, etc.

I agree with your assessment of how stupid this is, but I'm not surprised. To be clear, there are good reasons for this different mode. The fuck-up is not testing it properly. These kinds of modes can be tested properly in various ways

Why would a 25% drop in energy use necessarily indicate an energy crisis? Isn't it far more likely that a shift in economic composition changed the energy consumption? That shift might be a bad thing, but it's not an energy crisi

I would argue that Triton is in fact higher-level than HIP. Plus, it is more specialised for specific use cases.

by atq2119 2y ago
HIP is essentially the same as CUDA, CK is not a language but a library, and assembly is basically used in the Nvidia ecosystem as well, in the form of PTX. There is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary here. Yes, it's multiple langu

If that is indeed the case, then it was not a vote for what Republicans are doing now. It still points to a systemic problem: the system gave certain individuals the power to do things that they don't actually have a mandate for. I&#

NVidia decide how they allocate their wafer starts at TSMC. Consumer chips have lower margin than datacenter parts, so they almost certainly allocated comparatively little volume to consumer chips. On the one hand, this is a great situation

Isn't most law enforcement in the US at a state or local level? Why would that be completely different from a year ago?

You don't have to check the assembly instructions of compiled code because armies of compiler engineers sweat the details of making damn sure that every single step of compilation is done by algorithms that are correct. And they fail o

Image diffusion doesn't suffer from this, does it? So why would text diffusion?
