Is PyOxidizer going to make it any harder to 'decompile' one of these Python executables? Of course, once you have the bytecode it's easy to recover the source code, but I wonder if something could be built into this tool to

'octahedral' could mean it has the same symmetries as an octahedron, not necessarily that it's an octahedron.

Believe it or not, performance.. Embree holds up against Nvidia GPUs and Optix, at least it did in 2014 (see: https://embree.github.io/data/siggraph2014_embree_paper.pdf )

Worth mentioning that this is just a box-shaped room. How many early reflections are calculated?

Yes but they are limited in size and in precision to FP16, which is not sufficient for most applications, especially scientific computing... What this person is asking I think is: Can you actually think of another concrete application?

Can confirm that. Have this box (with 8 K80s) and we measured 90dB next to the box..

There's something I've always wondered about.. what do you do if you upload your journal submission to arxiv but it's later rejected? That possibility has always been a deterrent to submitting to arxiv for me. Seems to me t

No word on double-precision performance? Could replace the Titan Z and Titan (black) as a good CUDA-application card..

Yes, we should. If the general statement about fans is not true, then the general statement about how South Koreans believe in fan death loses validity. The author didn't do their research.

Not to the mention the fact that the FFT is an algorithm to compute the DFT. So calling the Fourier transform an FFT is even more of a misnomer.
