If it interests you - stated at the bottom of the press release, they appear to be presenting a conference accepted paper on this. Looking at the ISSCC program, I presume this is what they're talking about: "A 20nm 6GB Function-In

Not the first PIM, it claims to be the first industry HBM-PIM for DL/ML. It's actually a practical use case for hardware DL.

Last year, I went on vacation to Alaska. Me and my friends airbnb'd an off-grid home/cabin in Talkeetna, about several hundred miles north of Anchorage. It was powered entirely on solar panels on the roof and right by the house. W

Unless you were planning to graduate in 3 years or less, I've personally never seen anyone experience this. Advisors should have worked with you to make sure your semester workload floats at around 40-50 hours a week, 60 hours at most

I took this course a while back. Before every exam, students would create a massive crowdsourced google doc and attempt many problems in the book / fodder. Granted, we had TAs to review our results - but even they don't access to

Huh, anything skeptical of American media is borderline conspiracy these days. After Weiss, Greenwald exposes, you still don't believe they're capable of colluding to stir division or drive certain narratives?

What I've learned over the past few days is that there is an overwhelming consensus among tech, SV, VCs, founders that really really despise the SEC / see it as complete ineffective. Curious - how do people on HN feel about the SE

I don't think we're disagreeing. Looking at this as the worst case, GameStop has 5 years of cash flow to transform their brand - as they should. And this is only for a single aspect of their business. PC was never their primary ma

Why people are undermining the physical medium for video games? Comparing it to Netflix/Blockbuster? What? Stadia is currently on the verge of flopping and we're not even sure where other streaming services may go. Streaming video

I'm not really alarmed by the negative perceptions, rather surprised how completely off the mark these takes are, even this one. I think Mark Cuban pointed out how this is a result of the media being lazy rather than nefarious. But thi

I agree with your sentiment, but for people who have used RH for a while, this is basically par for the course as far as RH support/PR goes. I'm surprised people haven't dumped them in the past for their reliability issues, a

Even Wall Street has losers, of course not every DD will touch gold. People in a forum like HN would ought to know Wall Street has been gamified for the longest time. People will gamble irregardless if they do so on the stock market or not.

Sorry about your friend, I knew someone who went through something similar and it's awful. To rephrase, mental illnesses are very real and horrible. Seek the right resources when you encounter such issues. I just want people to avoid r

I would say avoid blanket advice like "don't push yourself hard you'll burn out". Burnout is a real thing but it's ridiculously overblown. I get burned out often but it usually only lasts a few days. Successful peop

This is one of the best implementations I have seen thus far. The fact you can go "outside" reminds me of Second Life and its unfortunate most other ventures didn't capitalize on this.

Some commenters are missing the point. They are narrowing their mindset by focusing how it would scale in a team environment. However, this post is coming from a freelancer perspective - it's a perfectly good set of principles, even fo

Only 2.6G too, partial is understating it. That's like less than a percent of the monster IIRC. It likely doesn't even include any of the tooling to build it. It notoriously takes days to build.

Its sometimes worth going the DIY route, especially in this case. Drag and drop could cause all sorts of compatibility issues if you try very hard to generalize, sure. I wrote my own as well, not in 100-200 lines granted. Dependency free ~3

If we go by most definitions of a distributed system, say Lamport’s, it still is. It’s networked, asynchronous, has group membership and replication. Provides liveness guarantees with a coordinator for requests and locks. GFS/NFS preda

Code quality and performance/correctness are not at all correlated. One could argue an obsession towards code quality can even be detrimental towards true system optimizations.

The whole mess has demonstrated why ethical AI research is important. It's so easy for people to disregard why and how biases exist in their systems when it doesn't affect them personally.
