Yeah I checked benchmarks for the A750 when speccing out a budget gaming computer for a friend in India, and the A750 handily beats out competitor cards at that price point.

Funny, because it doesn't sound good to me really. I prefer more of a rumble (like that from my Subaru's flat boxer engine) than a drone sound like the Ferraris.

I know very little about hypoglycemia (though I’m naturally prone to sugar lows rather than highs) and your problem is likely more complex than diet. That said, wouldn’t it be better to be doing the opposite of what you’re being told, and c

Wait the ratio is only 2:1? From the original article and your first sentence I was expecting Xbox to be on the verge of a death spiral, not getting as much as 50% of PS5 sales.

Given inference costs and ability to run on devices, there's an argument to be made for training models that are smaller than Chinchilla-optimal though, especially if you can still eek out improved performance with longer training time

Yeah funnily enough I think "no GC" would be a much better feature in Julia, which would make it a great language for real time applications.

GP claimed the decline was in absolute terms, not just percentage of population. On that note though, WW2 killed 3% of the world population in the span of 6 years.

Not true. The 20th century saw more civilian deaths than the total world population for most of human history.

Yes, but their chosen solution is vulnerable to the media itself altering, which is not the case with CDs (which aren’t vulnerable to licensing issues either).

Nacelles are part of the airframe, so yes.

For the Ukrainians, it's a place to stall and bleed out Russian offensive capability while the Ukrainians their western-trained forces and equipment for the offensive they're planning. For the Russians, it's a place to achiev

He did a similar complaint a few months back too. Seems to have a knack for getting around red tape / corruption by going public.

Oh. Well, even more reason to make sure you use proper dithering.

Spotify compresses it anyway but for digital audio you'd want to encode in 48 kHZ/24 bit whereas CD only supports 44.1 kHZ/16 bit. Anyone who can hear the difference would be an exceptional listener with an exceptional sound

I don't get it. You understand the tactile appeal, retro-ness, and listening intentionality of vinyl, but you don't understand interest in cassettes?

It's CDs that ensure music doesn't change. The music changes every time you play a vinyl record, as well as simply while the LP is on the shelf. CDs by contrast store an immutable copy of the music.

Not really analogous. No matter how much you tune the GTI's ECU, throttle curve, ESC, etc., you won't be able to precisely replicate the handling of the classic car, though you might get close. By contrast, one can digitally captu

That's just ensuring anyone over the insured limits participates in a bank run on every bank that isn't too big to fail (and the first to do so get rewarded by getting to keep their money).

Not "probably". The government is the ultimate backer of the FDIC and would be obligated to step in if FDIC were somehow unable to cover its obligations.

No, that has not happened in 15 years. Every bankruptcy since IndyMac has ended with depositors being made whole. The precedent is a lot older than the recent bank failures.

That's a statement about a potential future, not a statement about past actions.

Why would they be any safer than the too-big-to-fail megabanks?

SVB bought mortgage backed securities as well, not just treasuries.

You can't deduct inflation from the interest earning, so yes the interest rate has to be high enough to cover inflation after tax.

Imagine having machine learning model weights just be encoded in blocks of SRAM right on the CPU die.

Motherboard manufacturers certainly have to consider DRAM trace lengths when supporting modern DDR5 clock speeds, which are now 6,000 Mhz for top of the line hardware. The CAS latency for RAM is considerably higher and has been decoupled fr

That’s what I do. I’d like to make the switch to Brave but iCloud passwords is a must have feature for me so I’m stuck with Safari on iOS and Mac.

That shouldn’t stop DDG from using their own index instead of the Bing search API for organic search results though right?
