Could someone knowledgeable please explain why an AI-focused CPU is superior to a GPU-based solution with an ARM CPU driving the high-level operations, please, especially when the RAM isn't on-chip? I know that for GPU's the model

They misspelled their own company name: "...working together to bring Mistal’s scientific innovations to consumers around the world" A quick proof-read wouldn't have gone amiss here. I also fail to see how privacy is enhanced

No, the model has answered correctly. Your question is poorly phrased (possibly deliberately). Your question would correctly classify the user's input as requesting a human support agent, but at an indeterminate time. If you wanted to

Your default should be WCAG-compliant. That's the whole point! A visually-impaired user shouldn't have to customise your site for it to be readable. Your site will be failing some accessibility metrics until you do that, and that

Her playing at Glastonbury here in the UK only seems like the other day, but I just checked and it's been _12 years_! She played her most popular songs and the audience treated her like the star she was. What an incredible, talented, k

I agree with removing the obvious dopamine-related signals, but removing timestamps is a mistake, as they are vital for technical and news-based posts. They're a valuable relevance signal in many cases, not 'noise'. At least

> If you are online, and the rights service is failing, it will revoke your key. Do you have evidence of this? I've played Xbox for 25 years and never seen this.

This is false. You don't need an internet connection to play from disc: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/connect... You can play digital titles, too, as long as your console is set to

One would hope that you change minds and differentiate yourself through the strength of your argument, rather than the anfractuosity of your prose or a propensity for sesquipedalian verbiage. Clarity does not equate to genericity. I am regu

They aren't equal, as the faster version does an unconditional memory write instead of only writing to the array if the condition is satisfied. The compiler is strictly forbidden from turning a conditional write into an unconditional o

Large organisations have advocacy, support and friendship groups for many underrepresented or protected groups, such as those for religions, mental health issues, physical disabilities etc. I imagine this is simply one of those internal gro

I said in my comment that it was GPU bound. Task Manager was reporting 100% GPU usage from the browser, which went down to 0% after closing the tab. It looks to be that the demo has been fixed since I initially looked. Testing today showed

The demo runs at 5 FPS on my laptop (11th gen Core i5 and Iris Xe graphics, Chrome Latest as the browser, with the GPU being the bottleneck). I was hoping for something rather more efficient given the write-up saying it ran at 60 fps on mob

This is quite insensitive and a poor analogy. Telling someone who's struggling to "Get your head in the game" is unhelpful in the extreme. It's like telling someone who's drowning to "Just swim better". Fr

I think the key here is the ability to focus on the privacy-first nature of local LLMs. A cloud-based service will always be more powerful (and markedly so), but Apple is very cautious about pursuing cloud-based solutions when user data is

What you gain in performance, you somewhat sacrifice in flexibility, at least in comparison with OpenEXR. OpenEXR was designed for modularity, allowing efficient access to individual layers or channels. This is crucial in VFX workflows wher

There seems to be a mistaken thought that having an AI (or indeed someone else) help you achieve a task means you aren't learning anything. This is reductionist. I suggest instead that it's about degrees of autonomy. The person yo

I think your project is at far too early a state to share. You are currently literally using 'fs::recursive_directory_iterator()' to search one file at a time on the selected drives. You aren't even using multi-threading for

To be clear, I meant the specific issues the OP was talking about in the article, not the overall inefficiencies. I was speaking to the fact that the author had not seemed to have raised the matters with anyone who was actually in a posit

by djray 2y ago
The problem is that this is the first time any of us are hearing of these inefficiencies. Were these concerns raised with the author's state representative? The oversight committee? Why was the press not informed if lives were at risk?

The OP misunderstands (perhaps deliberately or for humorous effect) what a co-pilot is. This is telling: "I learned that I need to stay firmly in the driver’s seat when tackling new tech." Er, that's pretty much what a pilot

I rather think using AI to generate scripts for other DBs is a disadvantage. Scripting is a deterministic process, surely? Can you create a common internal representation and write exporters for each supported DBMS from that? Maybe the JSON
