Can you provide sources for this claim? If true, how? What is it that the 4090 has that the P40 doesn't to justify the price? I understand that 4090 is aimed at gaming and has a lot of extra bells and whistles like the RTX cores. But i

I suppose that, in a way, the chronological model is a reaction to the immense volume that the Internet grew into. Only focusing on new content can be a good way to drastically reduce the time spent deciding what to actually read or watch.

You are right in that interpretations have utility as helpful (mostly consistent) analogs that are easier to reason about when solving certain problems with the theory. One interpretation might be more handy than another in a given context.

This is probably reductive and ignorant. I do have some post-grad education on quantum computing, but I by no means have a full grasp of actual mathematical foundations of the theory. The main issue I have with the prevailing perspective on

I wasn't aware that this is the perspective from the French side, but I can easily believe it. There are a few factors. Generally the Spanish basque provinces have a significantly larger population, larger economy and more autonomy tha

The writing in this finding uses the iberian alphabet with some minor modifications. The iberian language has different indo-european roots, so it seems that indeed Vascones didn't have their own writing system, as was common for many

I mean, I can understand Basque medieval writings, and also the first word in the discovery the article highlights. Claiming that it didn't exist before the 70s is rather a stretch. Yes there was a large effort during the 60s to recove

I don't have a strong opinion on the matter, evidence is very sparse. There is a strong consensus that Basque is not Indo-European. It is also seems likely that the Basque language (or an ancestor) was used in the surrounding area befo

There is some research into proto-basque ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Basque_language ), although I wouldn't characterize it as purer. This is mostly a theoretical exercise, extrapolating back patterns obse

The alphabet is shared with other Iberian languages, with a couple of unique runes. It is most likely written phonetically but the underlying language is very different. Nowadays Basque is similarly written phonetically in latin alphabet, a

That is a good point about simple plans, I imagine it certainly applies to any challenge that plays out quickly in real-time. Even when it is not so, coordinating people to execute a plan is also hard, and predictions become much less relia

It's not an excuse not to have a plan. Strategy is dynamic and iterative. When you get punched in the mouth, you just adjust your plan based on new evidence, you don't throw it out the window. Besides, business and engineering are

Wouldn't a shortening of the "nostalgia period" indicate a higher degree of innovation rather than saturation? New ideas come faster -> the "good-old-days" come earlier. I am not claiming that this is the primary

Why focus on AAA? As in many domains, innovation is done through scrappy low-budget experiments and/or by newcomers that are willing to take risks to enter the industry. Once new ideas get some market traction, they are considered safe

Would be interesting to have some extra metrics besides line count regarding verbosity. My intuition based on experience is that Java/C# might have much longer or more complex lines. Alternatively, maybe verbosity is more about percept
