That's exactly how I felt. As a kid, I actually planned on a different career in something less fun like chemistry or biology because I thought there's no way people would pay me to write software. Thankfully people informed me I

We need to regulate Google and require it to have a transparent appeals process.

I didn't drink any alcohol for the first 40 years of my life for religious reasons and I really don't think it's that big of a deal to say "no thank you". If you're in America or Europe, alcohol is going to be

I think it's the opposite. Theft and economic instability were the norm until we developed things like economic regulations and a banking system. The Wild West was not known for its economic stability for example. Neither were the Dark

The regulators are acting in the interest of society, to a first order. People actively don’t want privacy and decentralization because it means crime, theft, and economic instability.

The only reason to say grandma can’t pay her property tax is because grandma’s house has appreciated substantially and now grandma is wealthy. Wealthy people should pay their taxes.

Grandma is a millionaire. She can take out a reverse mortgage to pay her taxes and she'll still be a millionaire. Or she can agree to a lien that pays her taxes upon her death or move. We don't need to worry about grandma losing h

All of us are going to need a lot of therapy to deal with the PTSD from this pandemic. It's very difficult to know how to weigh small but measurable risks. Meanwhile the unseen risks of years of lockdowns will reverberate through gener

1. There's no real limit to how slow you can make code. So that means there can be surprising large speedups if you start from very slow code. 2. But, there is a real limit to the speed of a particular piece of code. You can try findin

Numenta was founded in 2005. They’ve been pushing their idiosyncratic views on AI for almost 20 years with no impact that I can see. I guess they are upset that other people are doing AI without them.

This functionality has been rolled out (shipping) for the past year. From the blog post: "This was made possible by the phased rollout of the GSP driver architecture over the past year, designed to make the transition easy for NVIDIA c

I didn't work on this but I have watched it with interest for a very long time. It has been a strategic initiative in order to improve the GPU compute ecosystem. No one loves having a tainted kernel and everyone who uses a GPU with Lin

This passwordless signin process sounds neat, but will it increase Google’s power to lock people out of things? I don’t understand why Google doesn’t have an ombudsman - consumers have no recourse when Google locks them out, and it seems th

Ordinarily I’m not this pedantic, but given the subject of this article I just have to point out that it has been incorrect to refer to NVIDIA as nVidia for well over 15 years. Nvidia is what the WSJ and Wikipedia use and seems fine if one

It's a 32-bit format in memory and the additions are done with 32-bits.
114.
by bcatanzaro 5y ago
The user does see 32-bits and all bits are used because all the additions (and other operations besides the multiply in matrix ops) are in FP32. So the bottom bits are populated with useful information.
115.
by bcatanzaro 5y ago
Well the addition is done in FP32, and it's a 32-bit storage format in memory, so calling it a 16-bit format isn't right either. It's really a hybrid format where everything is 32-bit except multiplication. Given that it&#x27

For a website that is all about user interface design, I was surprised I couldn’t get the Ukrainian profanity to go away at the bottom of the page. (I do support Ukraine but this user interface is bad.)
