The US was and probably still is doing the same thing as China with its domestic surveillance programs. They just have a better marketing / PR department about it. But don’t be mistaken, if you speak against this in the US, you’ll commit suicide, or spend the rest of your life in prison or in exile as a traitor.
L1 BW.
When people use BW in their performance models, they don’t use only 1 bandwidth, but whatever combination of bandwidth makes sense for the _memory access pattern_.
So if you are always accessing the same word, the first acces runs at DRAM BW, and subsequent ones at L1 BW, and any meaningful performance model will take that into account.
There are already GPUs with >90GB RAM? DGX-A100 has a version with 16 A100 GPUs, having each 90 Gb.. that’s 1.4TB of GPU memory on a single node.

The fact that HR and senior management where in on it makes it systemic.
A tree... like a Directory tree?
I use a git repo, markdown documents, and one daemon on each device, to sync and share notes across all my devices.
I have yet to find something that beats this in portability, flexibility, note quality (from markdown to interactive jupyter notebooks), file support (all files), math support (latex formulas for markdown), graph support (mermaid), presentation support (reveal.js),...
How is the kernel tested ? There weren’t any tests covering any of this ?
I hooked a gopro this way. Their new drivers support using them as Webcams on macos and windows.
Beer Webcam I’ve ever had.
Nvidia makes arm processors, GPUs and SoCs, so this integration will be good for them if the arm sale is approved.
I don’t think it applies at all stages (example: spacex vertical landing).
No, that’s not what that it is saying.
It is saying that worse candidates get jobs over better candidates because there is an artificial minority quota that must be achieved.
I helped fill a PhD position in Germany, it took 6 months to fill, because the first 19 properly qualified candidates were men. The 20th was a women, their qualifications were significantly worse than most men, but she got the job because of the quotas set by the German research foundation.
I never helped with filling a position again and this was one of the contributing factors for my decision against staying in academia.
i3 and sway also allow windows to overlap, which is a very useful thing to do (eg for pop up boxes, pop up menus, etc.).
It’s just not the default.
If I want to work on N windows at a time, i3 handles their tiling semi-automatically. All windows that I’m not currently using are pushed into different workspaces.
0-1 FPS, playable.
But that’s not the case for Rust? Rust is backed by Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Intel, and many others...
The Rust development and specification happens all in the open on GitHub.
There is no single company controlling its future or direction.
I have an 8 year old MacBook Air. Still getting updates, still working perfectly well. Best 1000$ ever spent on a PC. Zero seconds invested in configuring or setting up anything.
At the end of the day, buying a Computer is a tradeoff. A lot of people would very happily tradeoff freedom for other values if the value proposition is good.
C++ templates are „untyped“ or very „weakly“ typed at the kindest, while Rust generics are „strongly“ typed.
That’s the main difference in these languages features.
Saying that Rust generics are „weaker“ than C++ templates is technically incorrect, since they are actuall „stronger“.
Using these terms to mean something else is definitely „weird“.
Why wouldn’t you enable RTX and DLSS in a 3070 or 3080?
I mean, I get that you can’t enable these on AMD 6000 series because the card doesn’t support these well.
Why would a data scientist making >200k$/year (~1k$/ work day) spend a single second of their time trying to “workaround” something whose solution only costs 1.5k$?
Spending a week/year working around ROCm would already cost you 5k$ plus the opportunity cost. For a whole team that’s a money sink.
Does it support pointers?
It seems this is only for shaders, but if that’s the case one has been able to use shaders with Rust via GLSL since forever.
Does it have an equivalent of build.rs ?
That already exists, and it’s called the „platforms C ABI“.
Every language that supports C FFI can talk with any other language that also supports it.
All these other efforts are just really higher level wrappers around that, but given that there are a million tools for generating the glue code to bind APIs using C for most languages in use it is hard for me to see the value here.
Citation needed?
We connect all our sensors to an edge AI Server that handles sensor data, and only uploads to the cloud what’s actually relevant.
It works quite well, and there are many OEMs that offer such systems, with accelerators for inference, sensor data compression, 5G, etc.
Hard to be excited about this when ASAN only catches a small fraction of only the easiest to debug memory safety issues, and when hardware support for these like the one in SPARC or in ARM CHERI require a significant amount of programmer and toolchain cooperation, and still do not manage to reasonable speed up Valgribd, MSAN, etc.
What is Oxide computer?
I saw the talks, but I still have zero idea of what it is they want to sell.
How fast is Julia wrt to CUDA C++, or C++/Rust?
In those languages, I can actually take the theoretical practical hardware limits (memory BW, throughput, latency), and relatively easily achieve 99% of their utilization.
When people say “very fast” and “my cores are at 100%” they often mean “my program achieves 1% of the perf the hardware can deliver”.
Not really. A lot of people consider good APIs a work of art, independently of the implementation.
If you have an Apple TV, then whatever you can access on any Apple device through the browser is on your tv.
Why Edge?
Being “critical” about products depends on how educated a population is. I just asked to a bunch of friends (we are having breakfast in Europe) if they know about smart microwaves. They all know they exist, but asked “why on earth would I want that?”. They just want two knobs to set time and power.
The discussion now moved to smart Toasters, where everybody just wants one knob...
In my experience, people here buy stuff either because they need it, or because they find it really cool and just love the technology. I don’t know anybody that finds smart microwaves or their technology cool. Same applies to smart toasters or smart TVs.
Thought these were DNNs for detecting WSB behaviors.
. In release mode, the behavior of integer overflow in Rust is modulo two arithmetic instead of not UB/cannot happen.
These two are not the same thing. See my reply to masklin.
