Yes. While I don't know what they do internally, API remoting has been used for GPUs since at least rCUDA - that's over 10 years ago. LD_PRELOAD trick allows you to intercept and virtualize calls to the CUDA runtime.

No offense, but your solution reads like a typical idea that Sillicon Valley startup could come up with, i.e., throwing technology at a wrong problem, ignoring human factor and applying monetization where it doesn't belong. It reminds

I don't know this particular interview, but it's not necessarily about not liking Lex. I listened to many episodes of his podcast and while I appreciate the selection of guests from the CS domain, many of these interviews aren&#x2

We don't really have suburbs like the one in the US. Having a perfect lawn that requires constant watering and meticulous care is not common.

Great advice for any PhD student or researcher! Do you have any other valuable advice? How about just give up and quit your job? It would have the same effect.

I travel on a B1/B2 visa for conferences. When asked for the purpose of my visit, a common follow-up question is if I am going to receive any remuneration for my talk. It's a tricky question since sometimes speakers receive a reim

This problem of late announcements also applies to travelers that don't need visa. Recently, a major CS conference announced accepted papers two months before the conference date. Since it was a large federated conference located in a

The last mile argument is often ignored, but it's very important in this discussion. What's the point of traveling fast by a train, unless you're going exactly to the downtown? Without a reliable public transport, it might be

We were able to show the evolutionary behavior on the microscopic scale. And there were multiple experiments doing it so far - your statement on the lack of observability is false. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._col

Catholics teaching includes the existence of a unique soul in each human - this obviously cannot be a product of evolution.

I wouldn't use "believe" in the context. Catholic church does not specifically endorse evolution, but it finds no conflict between scientific concept of evolution and its teachings. I would call it "acceptance". Man

That sounds strange, Catholic church and schools never had problems with evolution and enforcing literal creationism. It's a issue predominantly common among some of the Protestant denominations in the US. While attending school in Pol

For someone who constantly applies bothsideism in the discussion of the Ukraine war and uses "Putin's regime" and "Zelensky's regime" in the same sentence (you can find an example in a very recent interview), I

No, it's a different issue. I did my BSc in Poland, then MSc in Germany and now finishing PhD in Switzerland. There is a huge difference in the quality of teaching caused by decades of bad practices, lack of respect towards students, c

Soldiers do not go into action with their phones. That's OPSEC 101. That's why we see so many smartphone recordings made by civilians, but not by the military.

Many restaurants don't have a website anymore. Yes, you can google for directions and opening times, but you can find menu or daily lunch on their Facebook only.

How does it happen that in such discussions there is always at least one person who ends up equating everything they don't like to socialism? Are "socialism" and "communism" the only words they know? Clearly, they d

While I'm not denying the value of trade jobs, it feels like cherry picking. An electrician in Alaska? Wouldn't his salary be inflated by high COL? Couldn't be the case that most people don't want to live there, and skil

I recommend Solaris. I think it's a wonderful book focused on our inability to communicate with other forma of intelligent life. It's a pity that the US movie was such a disaster. For me, the first part of HMV was quite tiring and
