That's wider than the streets near me in San Francisco :). Lots of our "two way" streets, are only one vehicle wide, because we allow parking on both sides of the street, too.

You're confusing us with Cruise. Lots of reporting did the same, but we're expanding a lot across California. For example, now anyone can use our service in Los Angeles: https://waymo.com/blog/2024/11&#x2

That's not how I remember it. I thought proto3 was all about JSON compatibility. No?

This is neat work, but I also love the (presumably intentional?) backronym of BLT.

I mean Larrabee did already back in 2008-ish, but with BSD. That was a real advantage of the reuse of some x86 cores. On the flip side, until somewhat recently, NVIDIA GPUs didn't have the kind of hardware protections you'd want t

Oh! My edit didn't go through. I had tried to change "the article" to "the article at https://on.ft.com/41jw5ZY ".

The article discusses this and disagrees. Even in the same sectors and with the top 7 companies removed, sectors in the US have higher P/E ratios due to higher projected growth rates.

I love this space, and I have tried and failed to get cloud providers to work on it directly :). We could not get the Avere folks to admit that their block-based thing on object store was a mistake, but they were also the only real game i

This is what ULPs are for ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_in_the_last_place ). It's easier for most building blocks (like transcendental functions) to be discussed in terms of worst case ULP error (e.g., <=

While people are excited about AI and datacenter use, it's still tiny in comparison to global energy consumption (1-2%) though that excludes all the crypto folks who are another 100 TWh per year or so: > Estimated global data centre

As others have replied, this is reasonable general feedback, but in this specific case the work was done carefully. Table 1 from the linked paper ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.05007 ) includes a variety of metrics, while

You'll have to see what the instruction set / features are capable of, but most likely the "hardware ray tracing" support means it can do ray-BVH and ray-triangle intersection in hardware. You can reuse ray-box and ray-t

Wow, that's really unfortunate. As I just wrote in a top-level comment, Denver to Salt Lake is definitely the highlight. You get to be up high above some of those creeks and passes where the road doesn't go. I hope you're abl

You can also do any segment. Having done Chicago to Emeryville, I'd suggest folks focus on the Denver to Salt Lake portion. Chicago to Denver is mostly flat, and at least when I did it, mostly in the dark. Salt Lake to Reno is also bor

Rustc lowers to LLVM IR, so it can target anything LLVM can. For a long while, that meant there were obscure architectures that were excluded, but IIRC coverage has improved and the Linux kernel has decided to drop support for them. The mai

I've used ofxtools to download things locally. It basically supports the old Quicken/QuickBooks interfaces which many US banks, brokerages, and credit cards support. It's pretty clumsy though.
