Maybe I should be more clear; no data needs to be fetched from disk/network, and the "writes" don't need to go past memory. As for the second point, you might have a different definition of "naive" and "re

FizzBuzz has many properties that make it very suitable for these kinds of optimizations that might not be applicable to general purpose code: + extremely small working set (a few registers worth of state) + extremely predictable branching

Take it down a notch and call it 2.5 meals a week for $150/year. 115 cents a meal. Food as a loss-leader does lead to funny math in a few other situations. Consider getting a $10 pizza at Costco every other week (which may be conservat

At present, it's _not_ clear that lidar would solve their issues, because from the FSD beta footage that we've seen it doesn't look like the problem is with _perception_. Perception-wise, the car seems pretty solid, but its a

There may be similarities with the Tulip bubble but the underlying "asset" seems to not be comparable. Bitcoins in theory are almost infinitely more durable than turnips, and even casino chips as noted below. Like it or not, bitco

I bought a "beta edition" regular PinePhone and it seemed anything but "beta." Random crashes after boot every 30 seconds, even with "workarounds" such as patching the memory frequency (really?). This may have

It looks like this is a meta-analysis, and the line "Twenty studies met the selection criteria representing 171,802 participants with 157,778 meat consumers and 13,259 meat abstainers." suggests that this is a post hoc analysis so

Sold a 4-year old car to CarMax for $22k, (bought at MSRP @$27k in 2017). Didn't need another car immediately, so I was comfortable placing an order for a new car at MSRP (with ~3 months needed for delivery). As unfavorable as the hous

FYI those are all valid concerns, but even recent Teslas have the age-old 12V lead-acid battery!

Note that a further complication is that some don't have a compartment but literally an indent on the tablet compartment where you're supposed to pour some prewash/detergent and it just gets incoporated into the mixture as it

I like to think that most of the open-source/free software solutions the author mentions aren't _that_ bad. I've run a pi-hole and barely noticed it. Raspberry Pi or old Arch Linux laptop as a NAS? Worked for me and required

Does this mean you are attempting to use an IP range block to avoid this "service" while continuing to use Apple hardware? How does such a block deal with say, Apple software conveniently "routing-around" what appears to

It's interesting that many of the comments here are from people who have the luxury of only typing, knowing that they won't forget how to actually write by hand. But not all languages have this luxury: https://en.wikipe

If it has CUDA support it might make sense post-hashing for a cheap deep learning setup. I have two P106-100s (last gen "mining-only" cards) that were very cheap (compared to a GTX 1060) secondhand. The only hit is in PCI-E bandwi

What happens when the perturbed images are processed by some noise removal method? On the crude end, even something like aggressive JPEG compression will tend to remove high frequency noise. There's also more sophisticated work like De

At a few hundred microseconds per step, the benchmark steps start to approach the overhead of GPU kernel invocation and memory allocation. 1875 training steps means a batch size of 32, which is hardly optimal given the extremely small mode

In a single workstation form-factor, once you get enough powerful GPUs, it takes a good amount of CPU power to feed them, even for pure CNNs that GPUs are supposed to be great at. Think data augmentation for training, etc.

ISAs are somewhat orthogonal to performance these days, so this move is more or less switching to Apple CPU designs. Apple has rapidly iterated and improved in-house designs since basically the A4 iPad.

It's just a standard vision convnet like ResNet-18, or ResNet-50. It gets fed facecam with an audio spectrogram concatenated to it (pretty hacky, but seems to help). All it does is binary prediction of {interesting, not interesting}, a
