This is great! I'm looking for a way to run serverless (Amazon Lambda style) GPU operations (preferably using OpenCL). Are there any plans for such a service in your platform?

It was indeed an Optiplex system. You can find reference to it in this KB article[1] about replacement system boards. [1] http://www.dell.com/support/article/be/nl/bebsdt1/sln145409/...

Care to explain what you mean by that? As far as I can tell, vendors ship crapware as software installed on Windows, and you can always remove it by reinstalling Windows or often just uninstalling the bundled software. Do they ever go beyon

Sorry for the late response! I've just checked and I could not find it for most models. I could find it for the OptiPlex 7450 All-in-One, but not for the Precision line. At [1], you can find a screenshot of the setting that reflects th

You can also order Dell machines with ME disabled. Additionally, most current Dell systems can disable Intel ME in the BIOS settings as well. This is a trap door setting - once disabled, there is no way to turn it back on. From what I'

Openness of their component parts was a key goal. Reusing a legacy keyboard and using a super-closed platform like an iPad to get a display going seems really counterproductive in that regard. Additionally, how would you link the iPad displ

I use my Linux desktop through VNC roughly 50% of the time I'm using it (though, honestly, most of the time I work locally on my laptop). It's convenient to have access to the desktop session I left running the night before remote

Oops, I misread the comment about the bridge. I would assume German bridges would use metric measures.

An M4 Sherman weighed about 35 tons when including fuel, crew and ammunition. So technically, it could hold two, though it would be a risky endeavor.

But only Emacs users use those keybindings with those widgets, so that's not a good argument to say "emacs keybindings are well known by novice users".

Granted, but bash and other readline applications generally have a very different mode of operation compared to a text editor. They operate on single lines of input at a time (most of the time). Editors like emacs operate on a multi-line bo

by sspiff 9y ago
While emacs is a terrific editor (or platform for editors), it is not easy to use. It has a unique set of keyboard shortcuts, which means that for most newcomers, their familiar hotkeys or key combos will do things that they don't expe

I have a question regarding the new library generation: is this also supported by futhark-c (or are there plans to support this down the line)? I'd like to be able to fall back to CPU execution when OpenCL is not available on a platfor

Hooray! I've been playing with Futhark from time to time (and it's lovely). I have eagerly been awaiting this development! This is great! I write much of my code in Rust these days and being able to generate plain C entrypoints to

I meant that as in, there have been plenty of dedicated discussions threads on this site and many others regarding the Intel ME. Most people here know about the ME by now, and we don't have to bring it up in every single Intel-related

I find it funny how Intel claims it wants to compete on merrit in a market locked by Qualcomm, where this is an almost exact replay of the tricks they pulled in the late 1990s to mid 2000s.
