It does give some insight into what you seek, at least. For example, “We ﬁnd that for smallern≲262144, JesseSort is slower than Python’s default sort.” I’d like to see a much larger n but the charts in the research paper aren’t really sel

I think the worst part of Reddit is the moderation/censorship. I think anything allowed by the First Amendment should be allowed on Reddit. I think disenfranchising bigots, racists, et al. does more harm by driving them to a true ech

Because they need all the money they can get, they are a sinking ship. Next question.

I’d actually wear my Apple Watch if I didn’t have to charge it every day. Battery life is paramount.

I just want the card, not an entire server with a cluster of them. You can’t get an MI300X on eBay. But yes I didn’t realize they don’t come in the standard PCIe form factor. Their previous Instict “GPUs” did. They should have considered th

To be fair Nvidia is the de-facto king of “planned obsolescence” and “remove features for no reason other than to force people to pay more $$$”. I think they’re even worse than Apple in this regard. My favorite one of many examples of this

I will say AMD seems to have come a long way since 2020/2021. I also messed around with an RX580 and ROCm on Ubuntu Server and while I wasn’t as experienced in the world of ML/Data Science then, I remember encountering a roadblock

I recognize that selling enterprise hardware one or two units at a time to people like me is not cost effective and is why AMD isn’t doing it, but I don’t think there’s anything stopping them from relying on distribution partners like Sapph

Can you provide a link to where I can purchase the MI300X? The only way I seem to be able to buy one is to contact AMD Sales who will surely laugh at my request for “less than 1000 units.”

Intel and Windows have been birds of a feather for 40 years, and it frustrates me that to this day Intel is still designing its CPUs around Windows. Yes, Windows is “#1” in market share. It’s just sad that the world accepts the ads in Windo

Now if only I could purchase one* *I realize enterprise “GPUs” are difficult to purchase as an individual whether they’re AMD or Nvidia, but AMD might be well-served to mimic their RX 480 strategy (“make a competitive mid-range GPU, distrib

I on the other hand DO get this complaint. It’s less about the “word order” and more remembering the words to type. As a software engineer I have to google stuff all the time. I haven’t touched C#’s PLINQ in five years, I doubt I could do i

This reminds me of the Al Jazeera America (“AJAM”) news channel. They weren’t banned per sé, but it’s obvious they were doomed from the start. An Arab news network operating in the United States… if you think TikTok had a target painted on

Yeah I was never able to get that to work on M1/M2 Macs. Intel, sure, but none of the workarounds (including BetterDisplay) worked on the ARM Macs. Do they now? I last tried in 2022.

Yeah the Pi is way too expensive. NUCs are a better deal (and roughly the same price), and x86 is obviously going to smoke ARM in certain workloads (e.g. running a VPN server that has to encrypt/decrypt all traffic). The concept of the

I bought one of these once. The specs on paper look good, but the CPUs are weak. They’re like those U series Intel CPUs where you could get say an i7-7700U, with 4 physical cores and 8 total threads, but at 15W TDP you were never really goi

If your 1440p monitor looks “fine” or “good”, it’s because the scale is 1x - for many people, including myself, UI elements are too small at 1x 1440p. I had to buy a 4K monitor so I could have larger UI elements AND crisp UI elements.

by gymbeaux 2y ago
In my experience, you can’t do any sort of scaling with sub-4K displays. This is “since M1”. Intel Macs, even on the latest macOS, can do scaling eg 1.5x at say 1440p, which last time I bothered with an Intel Mac required a workaround via T

I find my fellow Americans generally lack empathy, and hypocrisy runs rampant. People are very harsh and critical until they’re in the same boat.

I find NASes to be a waste of money except for the “no one ever got fired for….” aspect in an enterprise environment. $600 for a NAS with a Celeron and 8GB of RAM is absurd.

I’d give my left nut for a Google Home Mini powered by ChatGPT, but the article is suggesting this device will have a touch screen interface so it’s probably more like the Rabbit R1. Knowing Ive, it’ll be thinner than anybody asked for, hav

What are the assumptions for the “132 miles” figure? At the very least wind is going to affect that- if you’re in a headwind you could probably make it closer to 150 miles (albeit not a huge gain).

Honestly that’s probably more accurate than anything else they’ve tried so far. I’m tired of hearing about “arcs”.

It depends on the model you run but generally speaking you want an NVIDIA GPU of some substance. I’d say like a 3060 at minimum. CPU inference is incredibly slow versus my RTX 3090, but technically it will work.
