AMD64 is an extension of x86, it still runs older 32-bit code just fine. I don't see the relevance of IA64, the point wasn't about what Intel have done but about code running on different vendor's platforms. For the most part

The GPGPU situation is absolutely ridiculous. Imagine if you couldn't run code for an Intel CPU on an AMD chip, who would buy them? But somehow we accept that our GPUs, small super computers that often cost 50% of the total computer co

What did USA gain from joining the allies in Europe during WW1 and WW2? Besides the moral and humanitarian reasons, which I actually believe played a big role even though I'm not American and I know it's easy to be cynical online

The US would be unanimously condemned if that would happen, but that reasoning is dependent on Russian propaganda that this war is because of NATO provocation. If that was the case, why haven't Russia invaded Finland? Why does Putin sa

I haven't used any plugins like Wolfram, but previously today I tried to get ChatGPT to calculate the width of my monitor. It answered something that was almost right, but actually wrong because of both a logical error, and a misplaced

Is tungsten really brittle, or are you actually referring to tungsten carbide? I often see people mixing those up.

The first time I saw them used in gaming was when John Carmack showed off Doom 3 running on Geforce 3 at a Macworld keynote in 2001. It was very impressive and felt like a huge leap into the future. https://www.youtube.com/w

I don't know anything about space launches, how come the first orbital launch site in mainland Europe is in Esrange in northern Sweden, latitude 67° N? Are different latitudes good for different trajectories?

I would prefer if you spoke clearly instead of using insinuation and false equivalence. "The people on here absolutely will not, for any reason, consider both sides of the situation". So why not in your own words describe the side

What would you expect any national leader to say if their territory was invaded? And what about the rest of Ukraine, was the people in Kiev asking to be liberated by the Russian army last year? Russia is currently containing the war on not-

> No. It was to destroy the Soviet Union. And it mostly worked! It was to defend western Europe against Soviet expansion. NATO has never attacked Russia, and the economic downfall was of their own doing. The scars of Soviet rule are stil

So what do you mean by "consider both sides of the situation"? Russia invaded Ukraine, what's the other side of that situation?

What was the point of NATO, to attack Russia? If that's what you're implying I don't agree, as far as I know the treaty doesn't say anything about attacking others, only about defending everyone that has signed the treat

Did Ukraine invade Russia? Was Ukraine a threat to Russia in any way? Don't believe Kremlin propaganda, if there's one thing you can trust about Russian diplomats it's that they lie, even when they know that you know they&#x2

Russia wants to push the narrative that the war is about NATO or Ukrainian nazis or helping suppressed Russians or whatever they're claiming today. The truth is they started the war in 2014 when the Ukrainian people made it clear they

A few years ago I read a paper where they checked the correlation between CT measured body fat percentage and a lot of easily measured and calculated figures, in the same style of BMI (w/h²). I haven't been able to find it again,

According to a comment on Reddit this only happens when "Scene Optimizer" is active in the camera. I don't know if this is the default, it probably is nowadays, but my phone camera's equivalent is labeled AI. I think the

Perfect deconvolution of a gaussian blur is only possible in theory, or in ideal cases where you control the signal end to end, like a programming assignment. In reality there's plenty of sources of errors, like discretization noise, l

Will this make it easier to ship ML models to consumers? Let's say I'm making a photo editor, can I ship trained models for various image effects and generation using this, and it will run on the client's best available hardw

Microsoft has DirectML for hardware acceleration on Windows, but maybe you can run OpenXLA on Windows anyway if the GPU drivers support it? It would be preferable if they were on board, I don't want to be dependent on Nvidia or AMD.

So your argument is that stock photography of humans are unethical unless every model signs a new model release for every use? Is it immoral to use András István Aratós image in memes too? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
