Matrix multiplication is usually done by a platform-specific BLAS library (BLAS is an API, there are multiple implementations, e.g. Intel MKL, OpenBLAS, cuBLAS). There are some other linear algebra APIs/libraries, but this is what&#x27

Not true. The fleet of Russian icebreakers relies mostly on nuclear propulsion. Wikipedia lists four different cargo ships equipped with a nuclear reactor at some point of time. The regulations and infrastructure are lacking but the interes

I remember my whole family was in gtalk and other jabber talkers. The funny thing they were usable on mobile long before android/ios phones. There were JavaME clients that could run on many common phones. I still miss T9. GTalk was rea

Cortana was doomed the moment Microsoft gave up on Windows Phone. It could never become as integrated with the mobile os as the competing assistants. Even if Cortana was better, it wasn't always listening. And on a desktop the assistan

My operator made roaming outside the EU very expensive (EUR 35 for 1 week, with a limited amount of calls and messages, and 150 MB of data traffic, yes, megabytes). But being able to use phone normally anywhere in the EU, even if only with

As it works in Europe, businesses and residents can get a (usually paid) permit to enter such areas, or there're hours when traffic is permitted. The same for building sites, they get an approval for a temporary modification of the tra

I wonder how TetraPak recycling works (and if it works at all). It's a very common packaging material, but it's a composite of aluminium, plastic and paper. Can they be separated?

For startups it's more important to deliver what they promise. For a startup which boasts to replace telephony, it is about being available to everyone with a phone. iPhone first strategy may have worked for Instagram (an app for phone

It's not so difficult to "infer" structured data from sources like Wikipedia. Dpreview is also an easy example. I don't see any proof the feature is actually about automatic inference, and not about hard-coded rules how

iPhone-only social app = public beta, in terms of maturity. Unless it supports all three mobile platforms or has published a full-featured API (or protocol specs) from day 1, any proprietary communication app is a non-starter for me (Hangou

Better description: an iPhone app for sending links to a subset of your friends which use an iPhone, don't care about privacy and install each and every stupid app just after it is released. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Assuming that user contrbutors, commenters and silent visitors ratios are typical 1:9:90, we may guesstimate 2M daily commenters and 20-30M daily visitors. I suppose that most Facebook users on Flickr contribute few images and logged in wit

I have tried it. In the default configuration, it tries to upload all photos online whenever it finds itself in the known WiFi network. I didn't like this. Direct transfer to other devices is possible, but the configuration UI is hor

Footprint is 2×5 m. Sheet volume is 2×5×0.002 = 0.02 m³. Titanium density is 4507 kg/m³. That gives 90 kg. Without the aluminium deflector. Normal Tesla Model S curb weight is 2108 kg according to Wikipedia. Extra 90 kg is 4.2% mass in

Assuming the underbody plate is only 2mm thick, the Model S is suddenly accelerating 5% slower. To put it otherwise, every acceleration now takes at least 4% more energy (> 0.01 kWh for an acceleration from from 0 to 65 mph). Sounds grea

That's nothing. Standard Italian layout lacks tilde and backtick completely… and one needs three fingers to type “{” or “}”. I use only US layout for programming. Actually, I switch between three layouts on my machine (the third one is

It's a pity King targets Stoic Studio. Their first title (The Banner Saga) is amazing. And I really hope that Stoic Studio will have the resources to finish the trilogy. The statement by the developers: "Two years ago, the three o
