I think we will soon see a dip in productivity.whenever assessing trends, you should never base conclusions on outlier events and we are basing too much of the wfh success on this past year. A year when you couldn't go out and do thing

powerpc/IBM is still a big player in the server/HP computing market. They do many cool things with their architectures since cost is less of a factor(dynamic smp, switcheable endieness, OMI) but they suck to build code for from an

I agree, this is a classic do as I say not as I do situation. Punish businesses for paying out ransomware ransomes meanwhile the government(mainly local, but sometimes larger) pay out routinely when their systems are compromised.

Instead of focusing on other countries successes with HSR it may be more applicable to look at our ongoing attempts at high speed rail. The California HSRA has been working toward the goal of HSR in california for over a decade. California

"A serious Man" is "fully based on the concept of Schrodinger's Cat" , what? It is a post-modern retelling of The Book of Job, not sure other than the main character being a physics professor. At one point a failing

oh then this is just approximating the values of the linear transform. I figured at least they'd use mlp to learn each layer of the FFT butterfly network, and the corresponding weights. What would be of interest would be if you could e

I don't see anything in the plan about reviving the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository. This is a key storage facility that's been used as a political scapegoat for far too long. No one lives near the facility, it's set

This is a pretty clickbaity title in my opinion. Bubble sort in lower level language X is going to be slower than quick sort in high level language Y. And bubblesort in high level language is going to be faster than merge sort for small dat

Smaller is probably better for evs. In this class of vehicles evs stand to get the full benefit of a considerably lighter and less complex drivetrain, that ice cannot come close to. Furthermore marketing them as short range, low speed peopl

Yes, not pointing out the difference between coding some novel technique and a well defined software project, completely misses the reason the code is often not well organized. Suggesting that researchers are bad programmers is just a lazy

It is the primary training method for Pytorch and Tensorflow models and thus essential for training artificial neural nets (such as AlexNet, weird they would randomly pick an architecture). It is often used for non-negative matrix factoriza

Awesome, just watched this two nights ago. fun to think even in 1992 it was still acceptable to show someone cracking a password by whittling down the passwords one character at a time. To their credit at least it was a bit better than war

I suspect we will not see a revolution in deep learning from GNN without a corresponding hardware(FPGA?) or optimization method(HSIC? HTMs?) advance. GNNs trained by backprop are making many of the same mistakes that LSTMs did: solve one im

I think this may comes down to interpreted vs compiled. Compiled language assumes some hardware instruction that interacts with primitives at some point. Where interpreted languages are using subroutines to deal with every object. So why no

It seems like they've made a battery that only ballasts heat, with a material that is tricky to move around and has a complex mechanical cycle. It will be interesting to see what the eroi is on this vs. lithium ion, pumped storage, or

Cool hack, however i agree with the poster, since it appears to only have a 500KHz usable bandwidth(less than rtl-sdr) at an albeit faster (5x) sample rate, i probably won't have much use for it. Definitely a great reverse engineer and

I like the idea, and have always been displeased by the lame underpowered inverters they often put in autos. That said, a compact, quiet 2.5kw inverting generator that weighs about 50lbs will only set you back about $300. Hopefully the addo
