2 cycles or so, I think. In my experience, this cost is usually overwhelmed by the inherent (to this class of algorithms) cache misses.

What sick minded individual thought this is important to find out? So many of these science experiments amplify the reverberations of eugenics in my mind. Justifying the torture of animals in the pursuit of knowledge and good deed.

No. On 64bit machines, a 32bit index saves you significant memory, and if you can use a 16bit... even more. These savings matter a lot in some domains of computing.

Initial cars will have a reasonably high power consumption requirement. Vehicles with adequate voltage supply will probably have an advantage compared to less sophisticated energy distribution.

Can somebody explain why GM would want to provide competitive advantage to its competitor for a fixed price? Either GM has licensing fees in its future, or the project is proving to be too capital intensive. Or could there be an effort tow

It takes approximately a year to learn to walk after you are born. But almost everybody figures it out. And once they know, they practically never forget. So I don't know, is it not trivial? I have never had to support all of the mo

This is possible and actually pretty trivial. You install all 3rd party dependencies into some directory. The command line entry point is then a simple BASH script which sets the PYTHONPATH to the appropriate installation location and then

No party has ever had a bowl, however, it may be possible to research opportunities for introducing them in the future.

Haha, you're too crusty to be listened to! Yeah, you're right. In some respects, things haven't changed.

The rapid change in C++ syntax may destabilize it. For example; `auto OpenFile(const string& filename) using future_coroutine<File> [filename]`. Okay, I get it. Or the operator `[<-]`. But as the idioms find their way into pr

I appreciate your comment and its perspective. I spend a lot of my time optimizing code switching between,01 and 03. I am genuinely very worried about the trade-off between optimization and pragmatism. At the same time, I am limited. This

I kept reading and reading wondering, what is the point of this document? I make it 1/3rd through. It seems well informed, but it lacks any coherent structure. And throughout I couldn't deduce what the point was. Like a well ed

I am not familiar with ISAAC, but it appears that ray tracing would be relevant in this case.

Every time a person comes out and proclaims they have acted cruelly towards others, and states that they will work on changing their behavior they should be celebrated. Congrats to Linus.

Don't forget that NVIDIA is not only a gaming company. They are involved in a lot of computational geometry fields, localization reconstruction, machine learning, etc. There are a lot of use cases for ray tracing that are not games.

Soaking them, I have been told, also removes some of the less healthy elements within them. Selling unsoaked nuts is IMO comparable to selling dry rice. I feel food packaging should do more to inform you.

There are different stages of composition in music. By the time you're playing music, you ideally should not think this way. But it's nice to have a visual way of seeing substitutions that work with your progression as you write

It is very disturbing. The notion that artificial intelligence can intercept information from individuals, and properly classify its accuracy seems dangerous. It works with much of internet content, because formal communication has proper

The AMP thing continues to make me a little perturbed. Because theoretically the damn thing should work - Google's QUIC protocol is often the only protocol my shitty internet can support. It's wonderful. Shouldn't AMP be usi

So is the presumption that Google would write a more honest and correct encryption algorithm than the NSA? The irony is at least a little funny. People distrust the NSA because they use highly invasive technology to identify suspicious be

Not long ago Venmo's ability to pay at the website was "Under Construction"... and it never came back. They forced all of their users to perform all transactions via their cell-phone. When I signed up, that was not the deal.

So I was curious and went to look at a few of the servers online. The top server was an unending stream (like, more than once a minute) of Richard Stallman automatically posting political references from some other service he apparently ru

It's a shame you were so downvoted. I can call several occasions watching 90% of the software developers walk out of the office if the internet went down. Many of whom had jobs not involved with maintaining or developing remote hardw

They are testing performance of a heavily modified and secure Xen type 1 hypervisor against a native computer with unspecified security policies? This seems like a meaningless measurement.

There are R&D departments outside of academia. But in both commercial R&D and academic R&D, some code really needs to live on for future people to benefit from it. It's just not a good use of research time for people to
