No need to apologize, but I do think you are reading a bit too much into it.

I don't see how "the whole [assembling] to make laws" is any more possible now than in the 1700s. Are you thinking drafting laws by wiki, or what?

I'm not sure - CA has permanent vote by mail available to all eligible voters, and saw about a 38% voter turnout yesterday. Texas does not, and saw about a 40% voter turnout. If getting to the polling place is the bottleneck, I would e

Lambda labs has done some benchmarks. > MIOpen[1] is a step in this direction but still causes the VEGA 64 + MIOpen to be 60% of the performance of a 1080 Ti + CuDNN based on benchmarks we've conducted internally at Lambda. Let that

The original post is about how to make a C++ program run on a GPU via relatively minor annotations.

Whitted published the first paper applying recursive ray tracing to the problem of rendering an image. Quibbling over this is like saying no one invented compute graphics because Renaissance artists knew how projection worked.

"I'm new and totally lost" Then I'll give you some unsolicited advice: 1. Don't assume it's someone else's fault - "What's wrong with the code" is the wrong first question. 2. Read the origi

I haven't been on any public transit where this would be seen as normal. I'm very curious in what region smiling at randos during a commute is typical.

I absolutely agree that fins has a point, and I'm serious - if it doesn't work for you, move away. There is certainly no lack of people. I also dislike the strip malls everywhere; I was serious about the orchards part too. I wish

Trying to make eye contact with and smile at strangers on BART definitely is.

> I do wonder if just smiling and making eye contact would be a better time No, it would not. This is a good way to look extremely creepy and make everyone around you uncomfortable.

Yes! It's super lame here, please move away or don't move here - I'd like to bring the orchards back to my hometown.

As I understand it, that is not the "whole point" of cda 230. CDA 230 gives providers immunity from being treated as publisher when they host user submitted content, and as such doesn't apply when the provider embraces the ro

You and I have a very different idea of "TSA style." Prior the 9/11, there were essentially no restrictions on what you could carry onboard, and you weren't required to show ID. An associate of mine regularly carried his

Not every curve is a straight line. This is always the response to any hint that technology isn't the greatest thing ever. But it's like a no-op. The questions that it leaves open: 1. Were the people saying it earlier wrong? 3. As

I think I see what you are trying to do here, but I don't find it particularly effective. When people say stuff like "guns don't kill people, people kill people," in my experience they usually mean something like "w

And yet they motivate all the decisions. Here we are, 17 years later, still in a "state of emergency" and the TSA has become normal.

Interesting thing about Summit and Sierra: the CPUs and GPUs are connected via nvlink rather than PCIe, which reduces the well known cost to move data to GPU.
