I agree. Most articles seems to be about VMS. I want to use cgroups and namespace to manange apps I use daily and that can be easily compromised. Things like, neovim plugins, the terminal (kitty now edits the zshrc) etc. I am aware of sandb

Isn't the training done at FP32 and quantized aftweards? Not that this would make this GPU more appealing. The FP32 performance isn't great either. The memory bandwidth seems pretty good though.

Alcohol has long shelf life, can be easily produced at large scale, etc. Selling flower buds of a plant will hardly be accessible. But the industry will eventually find a way to make a viable cannabis product from waste.

> Toxic distilled alcohol isn't. Do you realize this ideia of poison alcohol was propaganda done by the government during prohibition, right? We know how to distill from millenniums, and selling poisonous alcohol isn't a very s

Looks neat. I've though about using tree-sitter DSL to generate zsh completion. Your project seems to be a better candidate for this. Tree-sitter DSL, with some extra annotations, could be used to generate the specification. With the

In some countries "piracy" of itens you own is a gray area, because in the past you could make copies of medias, such tapes, as backup.

I hate how complex it to write a decent zsh completion. It is not something you can realistic do in a weekend. You can implement a simple one without much effort. But doing anything a bit more interesting need to dig into zle, and there is

I think their previous design was counter intuitive and we just got used to it. The changes they made actually makes more sense to new users. For example. In the past, they used filled buttons to indicate unselected option (like follow butt

Standing ground, specially when we are wrong, helps to learn a lot more about the subject.

I don't think you are completly wrong. For instance, last year there was a whole debacle at one of those top conferences because someone from nvidia, that was in the board of this conference, made (and posted on twitter!) a black list

The comparison of power usage is often done in the context of external memory. When talking about in-chip memory it becames an apples to orange comparison. For start, it doesn't make sense to power gate a SRAM. So they are always leaki

The parent post used the number of papers at the top conferences in their respectives fields. It means they are unquestionably pushing the state of art fowards. Or the system is completely broken. I see your point though. This is a recurren

Memory cells are the thing that uses the vast majority of power in a CPU. And they are used everywhere, cache, uOP cache, BTB, etc. Async CPU solved a problem that would have marginal benefit in a metric we care about Also, I imagine, they

> think also companies owning private prisons push anti-legalization propaganda. As they say, just follow the money... There is way more propaganda in favor of legalization. And more money can be made selling cannabis than was ever made

Good point. But doing two concurrenct desing would allow as backups for failures not in the telescope itself. For things like lauch, assembly, handling, etc. If everything goes as planned, having two observatories sure would be appreciated

Were they made togheter? I think the spy hubbles are better examples. Can you imagine the added complexity for the Hubble design for it to work as space observatory or earth observatory. I wonder if the he Hubble was myopic because of this.

Network application. The CPU probably works on just one endianess and convert the data format when reading from memory. The overhead is on kepping track when to do it. But Im speculating, havent looked into this.

Most company can't afford to make custom chip at 7 nm. The IBM Power is one implementation of the Power ISA. The chips used on the mars rovers and nintendo Wii as ppc as well.

They are target at datacenters. The last iteration has hardware support to decimal floating point, flexible IO (DDR3, DDR4, DDR5. GDDR6, HBM, PCI5, nvlink), Cores with SMT8, Tbps intra chip network, etc Can change the endianess at run time.

Intuitively, it dosent seems to be a good idea. We should hear what someone with strong Bayesian statistics knowledge think about this. But running tests on many people to do individual prognostic is usually a terrible idea.

I'm also somewhat familiar with PDF format (wrote a tiny one "by hand" for fun few years ago, read the spec). It is an interesting format, and like OP said, designed for computers from another generation. It has many cleaver

Something related. Brazil exports more water in form of grains and meat ("virtual water") to China than the huge South–North Water Transfer Project.
