Strawman, what is absurd is your own reduction. Hopefully you see the difference between running a build/install command that pulls 100+ dependencies from the network that may change any moment without notice versus downloading a stand

No? The point is to keep the user's system free of non-free dependencies. As a user, I don't want to audit the several hundred packages that a single Rust application might decide to pull in; I'd prefer if such a thing were e

The FSF's stance is still a WIP. Per this update: https://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-is-working-on-freedom-in-machin... > All software included in a free ML application has to offer every user the four freedoms that

You still don't need the unwieldy blog post to explain that. The SIMD section is unnecessary. Comparing the naive dot product on CPU vs GPU (+round-trip transfer) would have sufficed.

Terrible post, really. Did they need 5 pages to say that a silly dot product micro-bench that is PCIE-bound loses to a CPU implementation? Why are they even comparing computation vs computation + memory transfer?

Yeah, you're quite literally in a bubble.

The significance is that this has been posted on HN if you hadn't noticed.

I guess we'll soon find out how well the NSA normalizes its databases. Bring on that schema, folks.

The real question is: who calls their company "Snowflake"? It's just crying to get stomped on.

Never trust a corporate dentist / dental chain in the US. Look for dental offices named after the actual person doing the work.

Your first sentence is exactly what the US has done since the Cold War through recent history. Why is it different when China does it, which it also hasn't to the scale that the US has?

If you want to see how much the US cares about democracy, read Noam Chomsky's How The World Works. Or just look down south to Latin America.

Yeah, I was being generous in the argument :)

I'm not sad about Google ad-driven blogs disappearing, good riddance. I'm not positive about the new web either. I'm sure it'll be worse and surveillance will only increase.

Seems like a good thing to me. - The clickbait, SEO-optimized garbage that today fills 95% of search results could entirely disappear as a business model because they have nothing interesting to offer and the LLM company won't pay for

The anti-cheat also goes hand in hand with the predatory business models of "always online" and micro transactions. Those things sell because of advantage over other players or just social factors in the case of cosmetics. Wouldn&

Nobody questions that the impact of those changes can be large. That still does not take away from the fact that the genetic makeup of humans is by and large nearly identical. My neighbour is still an homo sapiens and genetically near-ident

pvaldes is saying that biologically/genetically, the difference is irrelevant. And it is because we're >99% identical. https://www.genome.gov/dna-day/15-ways/human-genomic-variati...

Not to take from your earlier point, but the evangelisms were not written by him. His teaching was oral and experiential, not written.

And the fact that this pseudo-science was broadcasted on national television is a disgrace for Spain and embarrassing for the Spaniards quoted in the article who are trying to do actual science.

We've been spoiled, walking over the puddle isn't particularly interesting anymore :) But in all seriousness, things like electricity or the atom are more interesting discoveries than a guy misjudging the size of the Earth and bei

7M tainos by the hand of Columbus and his crew? I don't question that what the Spanish accomplished was a massacre. I just question whether that can be attributed to Columbus himself. He did 3 trips to the Americas, none of which laste

And you're disregarding the entire point of the article and the historians that contradict what you just said.

You kind of cherry-picked two paragraphs and butchered the article. The article's point is that Reconquista, with capital R, is not a good designation for the historical events that took place. It does use the term throughout the artic

I did provide the evidence, but it was in a different sub-thread: https://www.lavanguardia.com/historiayvida/20191208/47205574...
