   Although it fundamentally is curve fitting, I'd venture to say that at some point, having to handle millions of parameters makes the curve fitting problem unrecognizable... A change in quantity is a change is nature if you will. IOW: t

   ok I see but at the same time, I guess there is a ton of knowledge about previous planes floating around. You don't do it from scratch, do you ? Processor are really hard to do, as well as software for physics simulation, as well as a

   Coding for GPU is more than language support. I'm currently rewriting a CFD engine that is implemented in Fortran with computer shaders and there are several cases where the logic of the code has to be rebuilt from scratch to fit the G

   I think the choice they had to make was: either building one of the top AI on earth under total control of OpenAI investors (and most likely the project of their life) either do nothing. So they bowed.

    ca65 is very complete but the linking phase is tedious. I prefere something more direct like acme which just spits the bytes.

    I find it surprising that nobody talked about Jupyter so far. I still think that Jupyter is an overly simplified realisation of cweb's vision.

    If they want clean aviation, they can just do it. But please, could they make sure they let the customers pay for that through their ticket price ? I don't want my tax money to be used for that.

    My experience is different. I had to code various instances of "parallel reduction" and "prefix sum" and it's not easy to get into it (took me a day or two). Moreover, coming from an age where 640KB of RAM where con

    That's exactly my point. Thanks for putting it down in words :-) A car is not a luxury good: it's something I buy because I have to. I'll go Dacia this time.

    Moving away from the GPL is a very bad idea for such critical component. Exactly for the reason you give. (this post is just here to insist on the issue)

    didn't read the article, but : "... to cause systematic changes in the temperature fluctuations during the last 200 years." they seem to talk about fluctuations, not extremes. Are they ?

    That's already twice too much for my budget. But since we need to have less cars on the roads, maybe Tesla is just puching in the right direction :-)

    Einstein and Schroedinger have built something that is useful to that many people and they didn't earn much out of it. It sounds as absurd to me.
