Is arXiv a major trade publication? I've never seen arXiv papers counted towards your publications anywhere that the number of your publications are used as a metric. Is USCIS diff…

GPUs are deterministic machines, even for floating point. The behavior in the linked article has to do with the use of atomic adds to reduce sums in parallel. Floating point additi…

I think there may be a misunderstanding here regarding the use case. If the vectors are large and allocated on the heap/on an accelerator, then yes, writing out explicit temporarie…

Oh wow, I bump into you everywhere!

Checked for my home country (Switzerland), and it doesn't seem to be correct - travel to Canada requires an eTA, but the site lists Canada as being visa free. Could get you in for …

I'd be interested to read that paper, if you're willing to share it.

Any entry level optimization course will make you implement something like that; do a matrix+matrix addition, but traverse it in row-major order in one program, and column-major in…

I like the idea! But is there a reason why it's only available in app form? I was going to try it and see what gifts were available/how much they cost, but I can't do that from the…

Are all of those ethernet cables? I can't say I know much about wiring, but that seems like a bit overkill.

But this does use solar panels. > The device uses solar electricity from a photovoltaic panel to power the chemistry that splits water into oxygen and hydrogen. Microbes within the…

I absolutely agree, though I always feel like culture and nationality are very underplayed in this discussion - I believe an American, an Eastern European and a Chinese national wo…

In my country, there are a couple of newspapers distributed for free in train stations. These newspapers are purely financed with ads. Is it my moral obligation to read every ad in…

Doesn't Turing completeness require the ability to modify an arbitrary amount of memory? (because the length of the tape on a Turing machine is unbounded). However, if I understood…

(on Windows use MinGW/MSYS or Cygwin make and make sure you have rustc in PATH) This made me chuckle - if you have MSYS installed, which already comes with a windows port of coreut…

> As brain-dead as I was after eight hours at my project, [..] Is giving out an 8+ hour programming project as part of the application process really considered good hiring practic…

The second version of the Kinect uses time-of-flight sensing rather than the projected grid of points, and is considerably more accurate. Whether or not this makes the scanning mor…

I don't think he ever released it. It would definitely be very cool to play around with though.

Ah, you're most likely talking about Wenzel Jakob's wonderful 2D tool for demonstrating Manifold Walks. Wenzel was actually one of my thesis advisors, and his tool was the inspirat…

Jensen's Photon Mapping was also my very first exposure to light transport theory - I was in high school too and got the book as a Christmas gift. The math was way beyond me at the…
