Recompiling is not an option? Also seems weird that the binary only ships with a AVX512 codepath and not AVX2 as well. I remember there being also an issue of linked MKL libraries shipped with various software (e.g. Matlab) not using the ap

The number seems extremely low, especially considering this is completely before taxes, health insurance and retirement ('Arbeitgeber brutto'). The actual net salary after everything is roughly half of that.

But that's not inherent to the mode of transportation. In germany (and generally in Europe) taking the train is often a bit faster (~20%) than by car - assuming no traffic. Of course this doesn't apply to rural regions, but betwee

Of course that 90mph top speed is essential for the quality of life of its driver - especially during the 80% of time it's stuck in traffic moving forward at 10% of that speed :)

For me it's the single best feature about VSCode. Extremely useful for projects which have an environment that is a bit tricky to setup - so usually python. I can just run all my python projects on a workstation or even some powerful c

Not surprised, season 2 was rather lacking, especially after the amazing first season. If you liked the story and idea I would recommend breading the Novel trilogy it's based on. Season 1 was fairly close to the first book while the se

Another issue on the third generation of ICE is that the windows have a coating meant for blocking out heat which is also very good at blocking cell signal. The provided wifi is done via external antennas and multiple carriers and usually q

Deutsche Bank is not a state institution, neither is it partially or fully owned by a state entity (like Deutsche Bahn or VW). The national bank would be deutsche Bundesbank.

> While I say all of this, I should also point out that the top500 benchmark pretty much is not representative of most real-life workloads, and is largely based on your ability to solve the largest dense linear solve you possibly can - s

Even more impressive than the linpack result (2.8x faster than the runner up) is the HPCG result at 4.6x the result of summit in second place. That benchmark consists of more sparse matrixes which are a lot more realistic depiction of hpc w

In my experience high DPI actually works somewhat decently and those fractional stuff can be fixed with don't scaling. At least if you only use one monitor. I personally have two I would use with 1.25x and no scaling which is just not

Afaik pythons success in that field is relatively recent, only really taking of ~2010. The language was already 20 years old by then. Compare that to rusts first stable release in 2015. Building ecosystem just takes time.

Rust is very very new compared to Cpp. People have decades of experience with cpp, learned in in University. Why would you throw all of that overboard just to learn a fancy new language with a weird ownership system? Keep in mind that peopl

With the impressive performances of generative AI I'd raises the interesting question of what people actually want when they take a photo. Is it preferable if it looks great, even if the details aren't actually true and imagined b

The factor is not directly sensor size but rather focal length of the lens. But with smaller sensors comes a smaller field of view on the same focal length, such that you need to reduce focal length to keep it the same. I think for phone ca

In the end it's just an index linking papers usually hosted in arxiv with code usually in GitHub. It's more of a nice starting point for literature research rather than some content owning platform.

I use both extensively but settled for windows + WSL2 for now. In the end it's the little things: - (fractional) scaling actually works quite well. - the shell works a big better. Feels like a good compromise between gnomes simplicity

Turns out it is a lot more useful to (potentially) reuse the first stage than to carry a lot of additional weight to reuse the last stage.

In a lot of places in the world fresh water is not an issue and a higher rate of usage actually helps with sewer systems and prevents them from clogging. However recovering the waste heat from a shower, e.g. by running the drain water troug

The energy a car uses is insanely large compared to e.g. a fridge. You could probably run it at least a month with a smallish 40kwh battery. Even running everything as normal probably uses less than a kw on average so electricity outrages w

How did these work? The article says you could ssh into them, so they all had their own RAM and ran their own individual os? I don't think the CPUs were multi socket capable. How did they boot? Network? So the pcie connection was essen
