Two things matter at cloud-scale: Compatability - does using a tpu require reworking significant parts of your software stack and application stack? If so, that sucks for most companies who's researchers are used to using nvidia libra

Does it blip planes when the radar scan rolls over them and they stay in a static position but fade until the next sweep? That would be so cool. Would also be amazing to look at device current gps altitude and location to determine the vis

I left $6000 of camera equipment and cash on a backpack on the Metro in Tokyo, and it was reteured to lost and found at the next stop, who promptly called me (internationally) to let me know they had it. Not a single thing missing. That&#x2

Given the diversity of the "CTO" role in terms of responsibilities and scale - what you should be reading will vary depending on your current size, composition, industry and your own personal experience level. One I find no troubl

Yes, obviously, but why? Good products are still out there but there are very few trustworthy sources of reviews that actually test the durability. Project farm comes to mind as a rare example. Consumer reports does a decent job but puts i

B&O has some home audio setups that are more expensive than those luxury cars with b&o upgraded sound systems (beolab 90 for example). I think they're probably not referring to their entry level b&o smart speakers when they

I think AMDs shady marketing where they claimed 1.4x over H100 is enough to just steer clear of the hype and wait for results. Summary: they cherrypicked legacy nvidia sdk's and used llama batch sizes that are not used often in product

Reading through some (admittedly very early) MLX docs and it seems that convolutions (as used heavily in GANs and particularly stable diffusion) are not really seeing meaningful uplifts on MLX at all, and in some cases are slower than on th

Does this translate to other models or was whisper cherry picked due to it's serial nature and integer math? looking at https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples/tree/main/stable_... seems to hint

Looks like you can get some interesting views from either end of the airport via either bridge, and with these steep approaches and takeoffs it looks like it makes for some great planespotting - mostly smaller E190/A220's though.

Advice for a wholesome activity with your daughter: Bring her to the closest road/parking lot/park at the inbound end of your closest international airport runway (Typically this changes based on wind direction). Park and watch

The solution seems pretty clear - buy a 3rd party opener OR use a different vendor that does play nice. I have a meross garage door opener that uses homelink (a standard that virtually ever garage door opener supports) to open/close th

Kind of odd that it highlighted the need for chargers and the lengths they needed to go to (relying on hydrogen?) to complete the challenge. I'm all for EVs showing their strengths (and own several) but tethering to a mobile charging t

I don't think x86 will ever get to the level of power efficiency that ARM has, simply due to the fact the arm cores and instructions are all built and engineered for low power usage. Performance per watt is only part of the picture, p

I think despite some other comments here, that the introduction of compelling (non-mobile) arm chips for OEMs to build into their windows laptops and PCs will do much more for pc/workstation arm penetration than Microsoft and Samsung p

Worth noting that every satellite and almost every cell tower broadcasts time at a much faster interval, not to mention NTP as the article states.

I remember going from 56kbps dial-up (getting about 5-6KB/s) to a T1 and downloading an mp3 went from 20 minutes to 30 seconds. Diminishing returns past that point for sure :)
