Too specialized. You can't use GPUs as general purpose computers. The basic unit of operation is the warp, which is 32 threads operating in lockstep (simplified). If you're not using all 32 threads, then you may as well not be usi

I have doubts this is actually that profitable. More likely the company is rolling their labor overhead into the per-camera pricing. It's a small order too, only 1000 cameras.

I'll believe it when autovectorization is actually useful in day to day high performance coding work. It's just a hard problem. You can code ignorantly with high level libraries but you're leaving 2x to 10x performance on the

The same idea is used when doing complex IQ sampling of radio frequency data. I don't know if it's as obscure as you say, it's just not commonly considered when dealing with plain cameras. It's a bigger deal when working

Pip is mediocre for vendoring non-Python or binary dependencies. Wheels are OK, but sometimes there are still problems. Conda solves this pain point by being a general purpose package manager. Poetry is for the more reproducible builds peop

If this is really a big money saver, you'll see fast food restaurants reorganize their restaurant to be more like old Sonics - multiple ordering stations that are serviced by the window. If you've never seen a Sonic, it's org

I still find it funny that somehow the idea of runtime function dispatch via function pointer is called the "strategy" pattern.

I have doubts that a simple adaptive building model-based controller wouldn't be better, and interpretable. I wonder why you'd go with a perceptron... those are so limited.

I'll bet against that. NVIDIA's margin is so large that Google/Microsoft and others can fund / are funding large teams to make TPUs and other dedicated hardware competitive. I also believe LLMs are part of the hype cycl

Ah, I remember using IRC when I was young. Occasionally I've used hexchat to lurk on efnet. Feels like discord killed off IRC for good. Any reason I should switch to an alternative client for the yearly IRC log-on? Maybe I can find my

Uh, are you saying that Iran wouldn't erase Israel from the Middle East if they had the capability to do so? Where are you going with this? It's indisputable that Iran sponsors anti-Israeli militias across the Middle East, which w

Nah, C++ needs more than that. There's some ridiculous template heavy code out there where the majority of time is spent linking. You can't even do a debug build without optimizations on Windows with these programs because the cof

Somehow, I think it's just cultural. I spent many years outside of the US, and I think expectations for space are too inflated in America. There are many happy families in Europe raising two kids in a 500 sqft apartment.

I don't really have a horse in this race but you're basically denying the ability of science to have anything to say outside of the hard sciences, which I disagree strongly with. "Can't be used to make predictions".
