Indeed. My mobile.twitter.com traceroute prefers going through that path, as does en.wikipedia.org (both of which have sucked for me) while a Google route (to 172.217.6.78) hops through 12.122.149.186.

Not yet, it’s too crappy :). I only get to it every once in a while and it shows. As an example, until last weekend, I would just hardcode an access token rather than doing an oauth dance. Luckily, tame-oauth [1] from the folks at Embark wa

Right. The Nitro cards speak PCIe, and Thunderbolt is “just” PCIe plus DP in one: > Thunderbolt combines PCI Express (PCIe) and DisplayPort (DP) into two serial signals,[7][8] and additionally provides DC power, all in one cable. From th

In your original comment, you’d said “toxic”. toomuchtodo was right to note exactly what your source explains: they’re mostly recyclable (though many places aren’t ready for the blades because they’re so big!) and if not they can be scrappe

I hadn’t seen the “why did some get a half dose” earlier. The press releases made it sound planned :).

More than anything, gcsfuse and similar projects that don’t put a separate metadata / data cache in between, reflect GCS’s latency and throughput (with a bit of an extra burden for being done through fuse). GCS has pretty high latency.

Your upcoming flexibility sounds awesome. I assume many people would just mark the entire bucket as “compatible” to support arbitrary renames/mv of directories, but being able to say “keep this directory in compat mode” for people who

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud. If Filestore (our managed NFS product) is too large for you, I'd suggest having gcsfuse on each box (or just use the GCS Connector for Hadoop). You won't get the kind of NFS-style locking semant

Sure, but other folks have to make use of it, too. Not everyone's code will be abstracted from CUDA. They're trying to get folks on Summit to test out HIP more strongly. Repeating my comment from last summer [1] that linked to the

That’s kind of the make-or-break plan for Frontier and El Capitan [1]. They’re having all the science folks try using ROCm and the HIP recompiler thing. We’ll see how that shakes out in practice. [1] https://www.anandtech.com&#x2

Most likely they emulated the cpuid corresponding to a previously existing Intel part. cpuid is used to fill in those “GHz” numbers you see in these reports.

Off-topic but this seemed off to me: > paid 1200 euros in cash like I was buying half a kilo of heroin and luckily, the UN has some nice historical data on this [1]. Looks like the EU averaged 50 euros per gram or so. You’d have only got

(Hi Dean!?) But how would you synchronize the poor weather days of Seattle with the nice days the Bay Area? Then again, it’s definitely something I miss from doing research at school. Nice day, go for a hike. Bad day, time to finally rerun

I’m currently shifting my schedule to work Saturdays and take off Mondays (I don’t have children, and my partner is flexible). Before the pandemic, I tried to block off time for deep work by booking multiple hours on my calendar each day. T

Isn’t the person you’re responding to saying exactly that? Tesla is prioritizing utility storage over home storage (and your links provide helpful evidence).

Ooh! With Dave’s compression suggestion, I wonder if that gets you below the 16 GB of a T4 (which have RTX).
