VSC != VS I'm sure VS chugs power like IntelliJ too

IIRC PC power supplies are most efficient at around 80% utilization. Below that they are not able to hit their "rates" efficiencies.

It's price segmentation. If you NEED the slight increase in power (and specific features like float8 at full speed) then NVIDIA charges significantly more for that. Gamers are more price sensitive than ML developers.

Amen I thought I was just doing something wrong! What is the best alternative to Elastic Beanstalk on AWS? Is Kubernetes overkill?

What is the current sentiment on the pandemic like in California, given that they've been on lockdown for the longest? Are people getting antsy? Is there an "index" that measures sentiment across different states?

The "biodegradable" plastics can still take a _long_ time to decompose if not put into a city compost collection bin. The city has to "biodegrade" them via a method different from what you would do at home (throw it into

There is an element of truth to this. I agree -- people are out of touch with the world around them, on average. But it's a double-edged sword. The abstraction has been hugely beneficial to society as a whole. Specialization lets us cr

It is a hard problem. Historically, people often grew plants in heterogeneous environments because they grew their own crops. Even if it wasn't _all_ of their food, it was still a subset of their food. But it was very labor intensive.

I think there are a few benefits that they're (poorly) trying to articulate in the article, so I'll fill in with my own (biased) thoughts. :) - Growing trees in rows alongside feed crops (like hay) is more profitable for farmers b

I think that "mixed" farming like this article describes has a huge potential for automation by the software field. Monocrops[0] (homogeneous fields of crops like corn or soybeans) are easy to build automated robots for. We'v

This starts to blur the line in my head between the low-level system concepts that your compiler/OS has to think about and the concepts you have to think about for distributes systems. With the hardware systems and interconnects today,

Make sure you soak beans before you put them in the slow cooker. Or else you're poisoning yourself! Uncooked beans contain bad proteins because they are legumes. You either need high heat or to do soak them and pour off the water. htt

I took the opportunity to donate to Mozilla as well. I'd encourage you to do the same! They are one of the "good guys" on the internet and they need our support to stay alive.

I bet somebody could make a business refurbishing those old 5K iMacs into usable monitors. Either yank the panel into a new case w/ a custom board to drive the display, or hack an input into the existing system (maybe with a minimal bo

What about using your phone as a thin client of sorts? I've used Docker-Machine on an external VPS before when my laptop didn't have enough RAM. The experience was pretty decent (npm install didn't run locally). I would run m

Could that actually effect the life of the chip though? Annoying to have your system crash, but that isn't a longevity problem by itself. Does a stray ray cause the gate to wear prematurely?

Is this data available in raw format? One of my hobbies is foraging for plants + mushrooms, and I'm often struggling to find good enough topographic data. If this dataset is available, I'd appreciate some pointers! Also: Are there

What is the difference between bandwidth and throughput for memory?

by freeqaz 6y ago
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying!

by freeqaz 6y ago
You’re right that PCI-E bandwidth is the bottleneck for CPU-to-GPU communication. Game devs often have to think in “number of draw calls” being sent (especially before DX12/Vulcan). You can easily saturate that channel. I believe what

Are there any resources to read about this more? This is crazy!

I’d certainly watch it if you made a video by giving the talk again, if you still have your notes :)

When I lived in SF parking was $400 per month, plus as a young male my insurance was $200+ per month. Most of the time I could take a bus or public transit, but when I couldn’t (like buying groceries) then I’d use an Uber. It was significan

I agree with this and it makes me chuckle to think about how much Google has distorted outer world view. A tech company isn’t nuking their legacy software!? I’m shocked!

I think the book is very polarizing. You either read it as “compassionate” or as “manipulative”. For me, I’ve often been teased for missing certain “obvious” gestures my whole life. But I’m not bad with people. Since I’m naturally an optimi

I found Deepness in The Sky an incredibly frustrating read. I _really_ didn’t enjoy the switching between perspective of human and alien. (Especially the personification) I was able to get about a third of the way through the book because m

Would you mind elaborating on this a bit? I’m curious and that link doesn’t provide a ton of deeper detail. Does this extend the RAM of the laptop you dock in it? Or is it just peripherals?
