This kind of crap is exactly what I don't want to spend energy worrying about, so I'll wait a few months for the models I can host to catch up.

The rounding itself is, but the operations leading to what gets rounded are not associative and the scheduling of the warps/wavefronts isn't guaranteed.

My favorite part of re-upping every five years is the investigator indignantly asking why I spent multiple years in all these different countries and showing him the government orders that posted me there. There's really a "left h

Whenever I traced them, those bugs were always in the logic of the makefile rather than in the compiler. A target in fact depends on another target (generally from much earlier in the file) but the makefile doesn't specify that.

I thought to myself that I do this pretty frequently, but then I realized only if I'm going from make -j8 to make -j1. I guess parallelism does throw some indeterminancy into this

If you've got a fixed GPU that doesn't degrade at all during the process, I think? If you switch GPUs (even another one of the same model) or run it long enough the feed-forward of rounding will produce different results, right?

If they weren't, then reproducible builds wouldn't be possible. The trick is being able to control the input tuple exactly.

It's subjective in the philosophical sense (the subject of the predication is involved with the judgment itself) but that doesn't mean it can't be "right" (and probably more importantly, "wrong").

Taste is a key concept in aesthetics and has had some great thinkers write about it. There's always some tension on whether taste can be taught, but I think the broad consensus is that it can but it's hard to do.

We have, haven't we? That was what was so nice about rails 20 years ago; you just said rails new app something and had a functioning web app that could even just read your database and generate all the model files.

My last job was COTS where we still sent out physical DVDs to customers (because some were on air-gapped computers) so we weren't just maintaining LTS branches but had to actually make patch installers for all of them. A big benefit wa

The model works well if you're developing version 3.2 (which is not ready yet) but also non-trivially maintaining 3.1.
