I think it boils down to which GPGPU camp you are in, AI or HPC. AI has relatively simple workflow, less thread divergence, so the SIMT abstractions add very little value. HPC workflow on the other hand is lot more complex. Writing a good s

My understanding is that Google search is a lot more than just Pagerank (Map reduce for example). They had lots of heuristics, data, machine learning before anyone else etc. Whereas the underlying algorithms behind all these GPTs so far are

I do not disagree that this was a peaceful move, I rather disagree that Yasser Arafat is an example of someone getting the peace prize despite acting against American/Western interest.

You're mistaken about Yasser Arafat. He wasn't awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for fighting Israeli apartheid; rather, he received it for ceasing that fight in line with the Oslo Accords- a deal brokered by the United States. Here&#

As a Bangladeshi who came to know this son after coming here in US, perhaps I can provide some context. The original post was about a witness, a Hindu witness, who refused to testify against the Islamist guy (saydee) government is after. Hi

While ideologically I agree with this sentiment, is there any good neutral take on this issue? One specific criticism I heard against Lina Khan is that while her heart might be in the right place, her lack of legal expertise is in big part

I'm in a similar position as you were right now: a PhD student in HPC domain who really wants to/ needs to use C++ for everything ( I love Python but has now come to terms with its limitations). Your last sentence is scary for me

This clearly falls into the federal government's definition of plagiarism. (I'd know, I just had to do a mandatory course for grad school on research ethics, exactly this scenario was used there as an example.)

You're right, and yet I disagree with your main point. For every article about Azov or other far-right nationalists, there are like 100 saying Russia is spreading misinformation about Nazism in Ukraine (which can of course be true too)

A little nitpicking about GRE, it really doesn't seem to matter anymore. There is a wave of schools making it optional, and often outright banning it from submission. Anecdotally, I have a near perfect-perfect GRE score (334/340,
