Ahh, I hadn't found that one! That's a great example, thanks for highlighting it.

The stuff at https://github.com/besm6 is great! Being much later, the programs are substantial, but it gives a better sense than the simplified examples like https://github.com/xldenis/besm/blob&#x

Yeah, that's why all the recent sprinter van conversions are using them for the "house" batteries.

If someone just says "AVX" they usually mean AVX(1). And that's what the article is discussing. AVX-512 forking into tons of different beasts is a separate, but related, problem. But it's more like how SSE2, 3, 4, 4.1 an

Some of the results on https://rhasspy.github.io/piper-samples/ are super impressive (via https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/04/27/year-of-the-vo... ).

Absolutely. Most development work for these things is just fine on a laptop. Each processor family has its own supported SIMD instructions though. For a long time, SSE / AVX / AVX2 were the only game in town on x86. AVX-512 introd

Today, they come back to the depot to be recharged. People plug them in and unplug them when done.

Yep! Our research team publishes a lot of work (waymo.com/research). If you're interested in Transformers and attention in particular, the excellently named Wayformer [1] paper is pretty easy to follow and SWFormer is impressive o

Part of this announcement is the completion of retiring our Pacifica fleet. So while we used to have the vans on the road in Chandler, you'll now see the same vehicles that were in Downtown Phoenix and San Francisco.

Yep, three in the back and one up front, driver seat empty. (The door won't open for you anyway)

Good summary! (I was away for a bit) I would only caution that people shouldn't overindex on mapping costs. When you're talking about entering a major metro area, you need lots of vehicles and depots and so on anyway just to provi

We currently only operate the public service in Phoenix and San Francisco. There isn't a wait list in Phoenix, anyone can ride, but there is in San Francisco. So... technically they're currently independent. But our goal in any ne

We post updates on our blog or Twitter account from time to time. There isn't an explicit, public roadmap of "On this date, we will open in < CITY >", but we have announced LA [1] as our next city for Waymo One (the nam

For folks that are interested, the discussion at /r/selfdrivingcars [1] picked out some of the salient numbers. Brad Templeton also did his own write up at [2]. I mainly hope that people take away that this service exists now. You

LA is employee only for now ( https://twitter.com/Waymo/status/1630326911648841730?cxt=HHw... ). We often do smaller announcements / updates only via Twitter, rather than a blog post on blog.waymo.com.

Sorry if that's unclear, if you set up the app, logged in, and are located in San Francisco when doing so, I think that's equivalent.

Yeah, mandating rbp on amd64 would have saved years of headache. There are still cases like tail calls that wouldn't work, but the vast majority of code doesn't need to care about dedicating a register to having usable backtrace

I think you're looking only at price and not total return. Because of dividends, assuming reinvestment, it would have been sooner.

Hmm? Chia seems to be a clear failure. The price and market cap both collapsed. https://www.coinbase.com/price/chia-network tells me the latest daily volume is less than $5M USD.

Sure, but when does that start? What set of small businesses have >$1M of operations per month and nobody to manage that? Or even just an owner who wants to "keep it all in cash" instead?

I'd be curious to know how much of the "overage" is from businesses that would be fine with narrow banking at the Fed. The obvious downside is that you still need regular banks and financial institutions for loans, but for

Sadly, I think this is true about a lot of the food in Manhattan: the middle got squeezed. There's low end, high volume and high-end, low volume. I'm always amazed Manhattan can support so many on the low end with the economics on
