The stockpiled chips would have been made before the shortage, so that doesn’t follow.

Today, things like PyTorch are AD systems, optimization systems, libraries of high performance interoperable common blocks, and more. This massive complexity is why there is no standard. If you have a compiler front end that can AD arbitrar

I would say that integrating AD at the level of LLVM IR is deep compiler integration. The AD has to consume IR and then emit more IR to actually take the derivatives. If you’re using a Python wrapper for this you’ll need codegen for interac

Graphics APIs and deep learning frameworks are really nothing alike. In graphics, save for a few new features, the goal every year is the same: draw more and faster. Deep learning is evolving much faster than that. The answer isn’t an API;

Maybe practically this doesn’t prevent most students or faculty from doing anything, but it is a huge reputation problem. How many universities (or organizations in general) are banned from contributing to the Linux kernel? When people sear

Even easier than removing the tag: thieves could just remove the tag from the object.

The automatic color calibration looks be really nice. Most TVs are not well calibrated by default. I wish it would let you export the results to change the settings for all connected devices, but that’s probably too TV specific.

The old model supports HDR. I think the new high frame rate HDR is new, though.

To expand on this a bit more, the corrosive water they swapped to permanently stripped off the inner coating (that I think was just mineral build up?) from the lead pipes, so now they leach endlessly. Most cities will have lead pipes somewh

It seems like Tesla should at least have a safety feature that checks if someone is in the drivers seat. Cars already do this for warnings about seatbelts and enabling the air bags. Maybe the sensor is already even there.

I would expect “we’re investigating this issue and/or taking corrective action” because that’s the actually empathetic thing to do when a child has died and others have been injured. No PR department should be putting out knee jerk rea

We know that GPUs are really good at far more than ray tracing and matrix multiplication. Oversimplifying a bit, they’re great at basically any massively parallel operation that has minimal branching and can fit in memory. Using a GPU to ju

That’s assuming that they have a truly L4 system. I don’t think it’s that simple. Danger can go from 0 to 100 fast in a car. There are so many corner cases that it isn’t hard to imagine a few stacking up and serious accidents happening. Tha

The problem is that, unlike Uber, they need to pay the cost to maintain their fleet of vehicles. I’m guessing they aren’t comfortable enough with their tech to deploy it everywhere. What happens if it starts snowing on your trip to Denver,

Referring to scientific theory as science fiction is a bit strong. The extinction of the dinosaurs isn’t Star Wars. Can we ever know exactly what caused that extinction event? No. Did a massive meteor hit the earth that likely could have do

The density increase is similar between those two jumps, isn’t it? Density significantly drives the price of chips since you can use it to create more chips per wafer. Maybe developing chips at 2 nm will be much more difficult due to quantu

They could have given a limit with adequate margin for safety to begin with, too. I suppose they still could change the limits. Shipping companies that have ships over the new limit would be pissed, but it’s not like there is a real alterna

Unionized workers get what they negotiate for. Given how tech works, a Tesla union very well could demand options. It is absolutely false that unionization precludes employees getting options.

Flour is the key component in a roux. The only difference is cooking the flour in some butter to remove the raw flavor. FYI, that combination is called a béchamel sauce. Edit: actually béchamel had some milk also, but yeah

For one, you can’t make mac and cheese with just pasta, cheese, and seasoning. The cheese won’t melt correctly. You need to make a roux or use a modern method like incorporating evaporated milk or sodium citrate. Lack of knowledge of how to

If I had to guess, your problem is type stability. Are you using NamedTuples to store your state and items you’re iterating over? If the keys and are not all the same and value types don’t stay the same (e.g. something initialized as zero(I

Your relative skill and time invested in Julia vs Go makes that a not very fair comparison, I think. A 100x difference in performance is probably a sign of something that could be fixed in your code (common one: type instability). In genera

It’s kind of irrelevant whether or not a cow is carbon neutral by some definition. The point is that greenhouse gas emissions are effectively reduced using this feed. Sure, it isn’t as great as getting rid of all fossil fuels, but it’s some

Generally that’s the trajectory computer tech startups take too, except with even less experience. That’s probably a reflection of the difference in the barriers of entry.

It seems kind of odd to blame academia for this. Almost all founders are clueless in all fields, and, additionally, they’re pretty much supposed to be aggressive about their idea in order to get investments. The role of the VC is to invest

Guessing I think is too strong of a way to phrase what super resolution does. The broader concept of, for example, regularized solving of inverse problems is used widely in things like CT and MRI where the reconstructed imagery is used for

I think it’s more useful to think in terms of how well sampled the observations are relative to the size of the output space. SISR is very undersampled, and MISR is oversampled. SAR reconstruction techniques can fall in either bucket.
