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 mis…

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…

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.

You are describing a chat

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 th…

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 hel…

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 a…

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 …

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. A…

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 Rus…

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…

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 j…

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 ar…

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 o…

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 e…
