Distributed tracing is a term for tracing that span between systems. With distributed tracing you can follow request traces across your various services. With pg_tracing enabled in postgres this would extend to your database.

My guess would be cache related. 5k probably fits in L1-L2 cache, whereas 20k might put you into L3.

The FCC and the FAA are two federal agencies that really don't want to mess with, so I hope for their sake they didn't actually spoof it. (.... I wish there were an FBB as well)

Wow, someone in the github comments[1] noticed that one of the bug numbers assigned internally for the issue matches to the day the number of days the driver would stay up. 1: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-m

shrug YMMV. I was definitely a bit of of a luddite for a while, and I still definitely don't consider myself an "AI person", but I've found them useful. I can have them do legitimately useful things, with varying degre

Imo programming is fairly different between vibes based not looking at it at all and using AI to complete tasks. I still feel engaged when I'm more actively "working with" the AI as opposed to a more hands off "do X for

I watched Night Crossing in my german class in high school. I remember it being intense.

Slightly off topic, but they want to move from solid to react? Isn't that the reverse of the newest trend? Would be interesting to know more.

I've always liked the idea of intelligence in the autonomous ships of the Revelation Space universe. Little agents reporting to progressively more intelligent and higher level ones.

Wouldn't this bound the overall memory bandwidth, not the per core bandwidth? I've sort of assumed that just providing more line fill buffers wouldn't be sufficient, and that the number of LFB is chosen in tandem with a numbe

Wouldn't this be the limiting factor moreso for overall throughput, not per core? I believe with Zen 4 for instance it goes through a central memory controller.

Hm... I don't know that I buy your argument, since just as you point out, traditional jets are already very optimized. One would assume there's less slack to pick up.

I assume these must be really expensive? Otherwise it seems like a great way to improve throughput on low concurrency tasks.

If you're curious, you might also be interested in Cauchy-Reed Solomon coding. This converts Galois field operations into XORs by treating elements of GF(2^n) as bit matrices. The advantage then is that instead of doing Galois field op

They blew up the air defences and reportedly had help from a CIA informant, but there's nothing to indicate that it was a coup.

Ehhh. I think if you're trying to show the overall costs of something to someone that conclusion makes sense, but interactive flame graphs are the best way imo to look into things. Especially making use of sandwich views, which allow y

Honestly? Good. Puts them on a more even footing with other infrastructure. If trains aren't free neither should highways be.

I'm not trying to be too pc, but you can't really tell based on someone's name where they were born. That said, the US only has some 5% of the worlds population (albeit probably a larger proportion of the literate population)

I'm a little surprised at the outrage here. I guess sure if you're using tiny self-hosted runners this would be significant, but if you're using even an 8 vCPU machine from blacksmith for instance (16 cents per minute), this

Presumably they wanted to continue working on sourcegraph? Or maybe they want to have something left if amp flops?
147.
by foota 10mo ago
I have no insight, but I would assume it's a 1-1 sort of split, that is that everyone that previously had one share of sourcegraph now has one share of sourcegraph and one of amp? That seems like the least legally fraught way to do it.

While perhaps not practical for oceanic shipping as is, it's a fun exercise to demonstrate the energy density of nuclear power.
