I hadn't heard of Furthark before, very cool project. I've actually had "Learn How to write a compiler by writing an APL that supports GPU-optimized numerical ops." Part of the reason that I was interested in working on

I work in one of the labs that helped build M2S! Small world. Unfortunately I had no role in the matter (just got here) but it’s really cool to stumble into some users for the type of software I work on. I am not entirely sure how you imagi

I recently had the experience of taking my first graduate-level probability course. It assumed quite a strong familiarity with real/complex analysis, and I suffered quite heavily. Something of note was that once I finally managed to &q

I don’t know if all of the details about the microarchitecture have been verified, but the writeup on the branch predictor is particularly interesting.

Some other commenters have offered really good replies, but I’d like to reiterate the sentiment that most major (American) news outlets have heavily prioritized ad revenue and television ratings over their public duty to inform the people.

I am far from the first to say this, but please do push hard for languages that aren't commonplace (or well-developed) on other platforms. My language of choice would be Farsi.

Quick clarification: I am not an author of this paper, I just found it while doing literature review and thought it was worth sharing, as its probably similar to what is done in industry to prevent future designs from being vulnerable to Sp

Update: I was wrong about pages, but the fundamental notion that we're moving towards "solving" latency issues with bandwidth hasn't changed. Paging strategies don't change CAS timing (which is what I should have re

So at the consumer level, DDR2[popular standard c. 2005] could be clocked up to 266 MHz whereas DDR4[popular now] clocks in at 1600MHz. So a little more than a 6x speedup in transaction times. Unlike processors, whose features make it quite

I think a big reason that AI/ML/Robotics is closely associated with FAANG companies is that these are very expensive fields to get into compared to web development or CLI utilities. FAANG companies can also move much faster than F

IIRC, minimizing left turns was a massive cost-saving measure for UPS (or was it FedEx?) back when consumer-facing GPS systems were becoming commonplace.

The progress we have made towards changing the conditions humans live in has evolved immensely, but the progress we have made towards a different human condition from our ancestors is almost nonexistent.

I would like to clarify to those of you who go to the comments first that I chose to do this with firefox, so the result opens a new tab in browser. However, replace firefox with w3m and it will work just fine.

pro-tip: I think a lot of people would really appreciate it if you put a quick blurb about installation at the top of the GitHub README and on Broot's landing page. It took me about 30 or so seconds to find the installation page, which

There is some really good discussion on this in the 2018 thread, but I'd really like to see a ROS 3 that conforms a little more to the more widely-used alternatives to the stuff they had to roll for themselves back in the day.

I keep an idea list on my personal website. I like the thought of my ideas being valuable enough to hide in plain sight, but interesting enough to be worth saving and sharing with my fellow nerd friends on occasion.

Looking back at my comment I see how my language wasn’t as clear as I thought. Thank you for clarifying, this is what I was trying to say. THC/Cannabinoids weren’t the issue, contaminants in the oil were.

The deaths caused by the THC oil are definitely nothing to scoff at, but they are more reflective of cannabis' 70+ years as a black market product than they are of the effects cannabis has on the human body. The CDC has determined that
