It seems to pretty much be about these packages: https://nvidia.github.io/cuda-python/cuda-core/latest/ https://developer.nvidia.com/nvmath-python

Yeah this is very common. You might see the headline "Scientists prove X causes Y", and when you click through all the pop-science journalism until you get to the paper, you'll fin…

I think other explanations replying are on point. I live in a town that's surrounded by a lot of farm traffic, and most of those roads are in good shape. But there are also routes …

It took only 17 Space Shuttle flights before a crew-member threatened to kill themselves causing them to add additional locks to the hatches. I think a few seconds considering what…

It's a terribly unclear name, though. I had no idea what "No X in Brazil" referred to. I had to clink on the article to find out I don't care.

There are plumbers who make a living but whose work results in leaks in people's homes. They're making a living, but I don't consider the way they work "a good idea".

SpaceX is pretty open about optimizing for many iterations, a bit like the philosophy in software of shipping an MVP to get user feedback sooner for future iterations. Boeing has a…

If you do, in fact, need H100s, they can be very hard to get. Even the smaller flavors of A100 you sometimes request, wait days for, and then 1 node might show up during a weekend.…

Was it Hans Reiser who decided to randomly clean his car interior with bleach while there was a manhunt going on for his wife? Same vibes.

And would anyone be surprised if asking to be removed was also a way to get subjected to additional screening in future?

I actually attribute my high typing speed to the practice I got with OPEN DOOR, TAKE KEYCARD, CLOSE LOCKER, LOOK CAULDRON. Police Quest, King's Quest, Space Quest. Good memories.

Are you a product manager by any chance? Because I can totally imagine you telling someone to just use some cloud DB because it's infinitely scalable.

Yeah, let's just measure the density and composition of a comet that will be here in a few months, and with expectations that it may be releasing new gaseous formations as it gets …

And people who do prefer to live with cochlear implants face pressure from the deaf community itself. You can't win. This was an achievement. A girl who probably saw this as a cure…

>> Our study reaffirms the limitations of LLM tokenization Because they used data that needs to be tokenized differently, and didn't really tune the models for use on that data. Th…

Sometimes there are a lot of differences between what people say and reality, but the person isn't trying to be humorous.

Employed or unemployed, it's seems so offensive to me to not care about people's time. When I'm employed, I'm probably using a vacation day to talk to you. That's special time I wo…

I always make going through our docs a part of new-hire onboarding. They learn the product, and you learn what in your docs is so confusing that a person who you hired for their su…

I mean for anything you could have easily verified via a search engine, I would say you always should have been verifying. I've had ChatGPT give me incorrect but correct-seeming in…

Well it's a bit like how I see universal healthcare. Would it be worth paying billions for? Oh absolutely. Do I believe the current US Gov could actually take all the money in the …

This is an official announcement from the Department of Commerce that was made this morning.

That was already the default situation of copyright. Unless it's fair use, you can't reproduce without license. It's the reproducers who don't care and don't understand.
