Note the results you quoted are for a test case in which all instructions are back-to-back dependent, which is good for testing the hardware and developing performance models, but not representative of well-tuned GPU codes. > doesn'

I just watched a couple of his videos, and it sounds like he got pretty close to landing with solid propellant ('echo'), but ultimately decided that it was too finicky and ended that project to move onto a liquid biprop rocket.

It seems like it would be really hard to land the boosters with no throttle.

I don't think it's useful to generalize about whether people 'should' 'stay and fight' or not - it depends so much on the individuals and on the circumstances, but anyway: Ultra was able to successfully decrypt

yeah, even without considering who is likely and able to emigrate, HK median income is higher than the median income of some U.S. states.

I agree for cars and planes, but for spacecraft, the crew doesn't really need to "keep their eyes on the road," so to speak (and it's not like the spacecraft controls can be done without looking, anyway, like turning up

No. People who are concerned about 5G deployment for non-conspiracy theory or ignorance reasons are concerned about unknown effects of increased exposure to nonionizing radiation. X-rays are very much different from the sub-100 GHz bands us

Einstein sent his papers to Planck, and Planck, as an editor of Annalen der Physik, decided to publish them in the journal. Here's what Einstein had to say about the modern peer-review process in which a draft is reviewed by anonymous

There are several reasons why people would do this, but the decision is often not made by the person writing the code, so it may be a red flag to you, but it doesn't point to inexperience of the author. In addition to the MSVC issue me

it can also just indicate that when it was written it also had to compile as C++ for whatever reason.

FP16 tensorcore = 312 tflops x 2 (counting sparse as dense) = 624 tflops x 8 GPUs = 5 "pflops" The missing 8x you are looking for is just because tensorcore math is much faster than their normal fma path.

I doubt Microsoft really cares. Microsoft will ship it in the linux kernel in WSL2, and people will use it, and if the upstream community doesn't want it I don't see why Microsoft would have a problem with that.

Yeah, reasonable, as in: the united states put full suppression measures in place piecemeal sometime between 0.2 and 1.6 deaths / 100k / week (depending on jurisdiction), and the actual number of deaths is trending to end up betwe

This article is not very substantive, so: what's actually wrong with the model (in terms of predictions), and what actions should the UK government have taken instead? For the U.S., the Imperial College team predicted 2.6M deaths if no

'brain floating point' is also bad, but no one cares because it's just bfloat16. If this becomes popular, it will just be tf32 or tfloat32 or something.

From a certain point of view, modern deep neural networks for audio are 'just' nonlinear adaptive filters on steriods. Linear adaptive filters have been around for a long long time, and nowadays are everywhere. They can't cap

My thinking is that the exemption allows for counties to have the opportunity to allow those businesses in critical infrastructure sectors to stay open. The order says that employees "may continue their work," and Tesla's law

Is this legal argument actually any good? It seems like the major claim is that Alameda County's order "overrides an express order of the Governor of California," which doesn't make much sense to me. Newsom's order

That presentation is pretty old - must be over a decade since the example uses G80. Nvidia has shipped 5 or 6 new architectures since then. Kepler introduced a 'shuffle' intrinsic to accelerate the kind of 'horizontal' r
