> AI accelerators used in DC are not really "graphic cards" any more, you ain't running gaming on it I think the lighter 40 series cards like L40 still have OK graphics features. B…

This is a feature I've been waiting for for a long time - finally, something that makes File Explorer _slower_.

Except literally everyone who needs a functioning queue system.

I'm not going to say Slurm is great (its API:s are awfully inconsistent and there's a lot of code churn between versions leading to subtle behaviour changes in prod), but it's an i…

There's a ton but it's pretty scattered. Yurii Nesterov's a big name, for example.

Yeah, I did a lot of traditional optimization problems during my Ph. D., this type of expression pops up all the time with higher-order gradient-based methods. You rescale or other…

> No one is locked into Offive because of file formats A lot of people are locked in because those import/export features are typically imperfect (or perhaps the documents themselv…

> Looking at Latex, I don't think hand tuning some parameters until you get right look in every single case is much better user experience... Having written many papers, reports an…

Plus with any kind of effort put into a standard browser setting you could easily have some granularity, like: accept anonymous ephemeral data collected to improve website, but not…

Because they track usage stats for site development purposes, and there was no convergence on an agreed upon standard interface for browsers since nobody would respect it. Their ba…

Yeah, but the only reason for this time wasteage is because website operators refuse to accept what would become the fallback default of "minimal", for which they would not need to…

I don't think the cookie law is that impractical? It's easy to comply with by just not storing non-essential user information. It would have been completely nondisruptive if platfo…

The kind of CUDA you or I would write is not very hardware specific (a few constants here and there) but the kind of CUDA behind cuBLAS with a million magic flags, inline PTX ("GPU…

> funny how efficient markets work. Can one really speak of efficient markets when there are multiple near molopolies at various steps in the production chain with massive integrat…

The problem with those are the iffy headless support. For Gnome it kind of works as long as you don't run into keyring issues (you will, the credentials management for gnome-remote…

This is literally the best thing about Unix tools. You can write a compact little Awk script and pipe that with a few coreutils to parse mountains of text into sensible data. I use…

I spent a substantial part of my Ph.D. dealing with this stuff, existing frameworks and algorithms were not suitable for our exact use-case and implementation. I had more bugs/arte…
