Bingo. They're being subsidized by a government with access to cheap funds, and in Abu Dhabi's case, a lot of oil wealth. In contrast the unsubsidized bids are much higher

hopefully we can now move to using real artifact repositories.

It's a good thing then that most people don't use it in its technical sense An easy fix for this not problem is to use distinct instead of unique

expand an analytic function in its taylor series then find its values on the unit circle. There's a Fourier series. But the Fourier series uses global data than the taylor series which uses point data so they aren't perfect analog

i wouldn't be surprised if someone discovered that a RNN was a way of compactly representing a markov chain with more than one history state or wasn't in fact all that much better

HCCI is difficult enough--high compression ratio requires strengthened materials. Plus there's the hydrocarbon issues that come up with low temps. Maybe the heat retained by not having a cylinder head would be able to compensate? High

Thoughts: Tessellation shaders could get around the vertex shader limitation on weird clips Would vulkan/dx12 reduce much given the AZDO style techniques used? Having the GPU do work queueing might be cool as well--have it deal with th

It's a closed-source color temperature changer on a timer. I don't think it's gotten any new features in years, and they didn't patent this feature so sucks to be them.

Haskell has asynchronous exception handling for this reason but it feels like this is the equivalent of signal handling which is notoriously subtle

yep, imgtec has been trying to make MIPS happen for a while, presumably as a hedge against ARM. Not that MIPS is bad or anything (the bunny in Super Mario 64 was named MIPS after the CPU in the N64!) but there's no particular reason to

Iirc certain bits of it eventually found their way into shipping products I think they actually did have a working os that could play media and do other things but it's unclear what the broader goal was other than pushing the boundarie

Reducing context switches is probably just as important.

It's a damned good course and worth a lot of time.

36GB is totally fine to store in memory but it wouldn't have led to this seriously awesome article on algorithm design.

PowerShell is far more usable than sh or even bash as a scripting language. It's more like perl or python were integrated into a nice little command processor, since you can use all the .net libs (though not without some irritating eff

HM is basically a tech demo. It's not meant to be a production encoder.

Concrete Mathematics is also a good background.

Very similar to how GHC parallelizes work items/sparks/threads onto native threads.

I wish this would come out in an ebook format. The physical copy is a doorstop.

As far as I can tell, the stars aligned here. You have a brilliant founder who has a background in the tech (Chem Engineering) and the upbringing and connections to take research trips out to Singapore. Second, you have the tech: microfluid

Sure and then when production errors happen I'm left with having to deal with debugging a VM process rather than a User mode process :) Enough can go wrong in the packaging and distribution that it's a real risk. At the end of the

ADTs and pattern matching go together. Having tagged unions is awful without a good way to discriminate upon them. Switch statements are ok but not typesafe since nothing prevents you from desynchronizing the tag and data

Sure but then I'm limited to OCaML and have to run in kernel mode when developing apps. Occasionally a good tradeoff, but a significant one.
