While if closed source is a dealbreaker for you, I can understand your conclusion, but otherwise just use CUDA. It is better in simply all the ways that matter, with a simpler API and a lot more resources.

The main issue with this approach is that it fails to address my biggest grip with local online shopping: delivery speed. Amazon offers 48h delivery for most products even with COVID. On the other hand, I ordered stuff from a shop based in

It really is not the bad, most of the time when there is actual abuse there is a social outrage and they back off. Bill 101 was created to protect the only French-speaking group in America. It's by definition a lesser evil to protect F

Not the commenter you were replying to, but at my uni it's usually feature based. Basically, you are evaluated on whether your code accomplished the task and not code quality. I've never heard of people having that choice in intro

While I absolutely get your point, Netflix is the service provider here, they exchange that data for money. If I order from Amazon and Canada Post refuses to handle my parcel, I will have my money back as Amazon fails to deliver, because th

If that's the case then I am sorry for my earlier comment, Wikipedia is a treasure and you are doing amazing work!

It is absolutely an overreaction, and I don't see myself going through with something like that. I use the site probably daily and feel like I have to donate.

They got a 50% deal. From the article: "At least NASA seems to have bagged a good deal from AWS: The Register used Amazon’s cloudy cost calculator to tot up the cost of storing 247PB in the cloud giant’s S3 service. The promised pay-as

As a Canadian that was supposed to do an internship at FAANG this summer the situation is looking worse everyday. I know some managers at Microsoft are considering remote interns but it will be far from the same experience.

I'm not a frontend dev, in fact I know little about the current "cool" JS framework. That being said, I donate to Wikipedia/Wikimedia every year and I will reconsider if this goes through. This is exactly the kind of blo

While I do think that this is a very real problem that should be addressed somehow, I think Tim Berners-Lee should stop making useless statements to capitalize on being "the inventor of the Internet". It just feels more and more l

While I don't know the exact component that needs 12V, you have to keep in mind that your typical computer draws about 300W under a small load. 300W/12V means 25 amps. Reduce the voltage without lowering the power consumption and

In that case that would make sense. From the other post on that website, it seems clear that the author is too knowledgeable to make that kind of mistake.

While I never read Tolkien's notes and letters, I did read the Silmarillion and it does not consider Gandalf/Olorin/Mithrandir to be an elf. He is a maia which is not the same thing. We do know that whatever Maiar are, they c

I missed the power draw measurements if they did some, but normally AMD list their TDP as a maximum while Intel can push over their rated TDP. They also didn't address Intel CPU shortage which maybe hasn't affected their server se

This is plain false, with no legislation protecting women from marital rape and punishment for women who report rape, nothing indicates that Saudi Arabia actually has "the least amount of sexual violence in the world" this is a la

Has anyone on Hackernews ever worked or interacted with Joseph Redmon? From his CV/Twitter/GitHub he seems insanely eccentric.

From experience, it's not that they get upset as much as they will come back to it in random conversation about how they should earn a similar salary because "Do X and it's much harder!".

Not all blockchains are distributed and vulnerable to 51% attacks. I suppose that's what the GP was hinting at.

The parent is probably referring to Brexit, soon the UK will need to make a new trade deal with the US. Until that's done I doubt that we will see them say "no" to the US very often.

Ethics are part of the curriculum in my software engineering classes, but the idea that it makes anyone less likely to do something someone else might consider unethical is dubious. You can almosy always justify your actions with consequent

This is such a weird take on Canada. Feel free to comment on the situation in BC but in Ontario and Quebec the population density is such that there are no "Vast stretches of wilderness" for the greater proportion of inhabitants a

Maybe I am taking this too seriously, but I find this kind of parallel unhelpful at best. Smartphones themselves are a huge time sink for a lot of people that is absolutely true and I have no doubt that it can also be considered an addictio
