There are out-of-bounds writes in the BLAS libraries for gfx803 GPUs (such as the RX 570). That hardware might work fine for your use case, but there's a lot of failures in the test suites. I agree that the official support list is ver

We have many prime meridians for longitude. The location of 0° on Earth is not the same in every datum. We also moved the traditional prime meridian by a hundred meters back in 1974 with the adoption of the IERS Reference Meridian.

Seaweed grows very quickly. The historical production was much higher a hundred years ago, but there's been relatively little need for seaweed in recent decades. It would not be hard to farm more of it, if there were demand.

MIVisionX is probably the library you want for computer vision. As for kernels, you would generally write HIP, which is very similar to CUDA. To my knowledge, there's no equivalent to cupy for writing kernels in Python. For what it&#x2

Tech companies in general seem to struggle with consent. Even when they bother to ask, they often refuse to take "no" for an answer, only offering "maybe later."

As a licenced professional engineer, I disagree. The whole value of my licence is that I have the power to take responsibility for my work. If you strip me of that power by making excuses for irresponsible engineers, it errodes the value of

I'm starting to feel that one of the lessons here is that individuals invited into trusted positions should be identifiable. Jia Tan is not a real person. We don't know who they are, so there is no way to hold them accountable.

Trees take hundreds of years to grow that large. If we replanted the forest today, it would take until perhaps the year 2500 to restore the forest to its former glory. A redwood forest is, on the scale of a human lifespan, a non-renewable r
