Very much agreed. It‘s a statement by the authors of that software, and that is well within their rights.

I think a more nuanced take is appropriate here. It‘s true that computers were invented with the express goal of speeding up military and corporate computing (back when computers w…

A battery cycle is a full discharge/charge cycle (100 -> 0 -> 100). Going from 70% to 20% and then charging back to 70% is half a cycle.

Back when I went to school in Germany, we had a locker at school, but I just took the books I needed for assignments home with me. I haven't heard of schools that don't let you tak…

The source code is available here: https://gitup.uni-potsdam.de/bsvs/public/hpc-benchmark-game As far as I know the code was ported to use @floops, with minor optimisations in addi…

Yes, that's the paper my predecessors worked on! I replicated the measurements with an upgraded version of Julia (1.12), but despite the claimed performance benefits, Julia still p…

Thank you for the article! We're mainly interested in floating-point performance and energy consumption w/r/t to solving differential equations and tridiagonal systems of equations…

We have been running benchmarks to compare different languages relevant to high-performance computing and unfortunately Julia still lags behind even Numba-JIT-compiled Python. Perh…

I agree with you. Having lost a close family member to cancer over a period of years, the only regret I have is not trying more to improve her quality of life for as long as I coul…

Precisely. Figuring out what the specification is supposed to look like is often the hardest part.

I feel like the use of the term "anti-AI hype" is not really fully explored here. Even limiting myself to tech-related applications - I'm frankly sick of companies trying to shove …

You see, now they can market the tool as AI-powered! I‘m sure the sales department is overjoyed.

I agree. As a frequent reviewer on Goodreads, this feels really icky.

The issue is not even so much generating fake videos as creating plausible deniability. Now everything can be questioned for the pure reason of seeming AI-generated.

Do people really want that? I feel like what often makes a game good is a tight experience, not added bloat.

I was recently on a Norwegian.com flight and they boarded both in the front (using a jet bridge) and at the back (using stairs)

I'd like to add that there are different flavours of both capitalism and socialism. The kind of disaster capitalism practiced in Russia and other former Soviet Union countries in t…

Considering the environmental impact of the US economy and its policies is important in its own right, but applying that to the dollar is a stretch in my opinion. Also, the dollar …
