They are probably not going to be implemented using long put positions, but a product with a similar return profile to what you're looking for is a buffered ETF . Basically, over a…

Indeed, I was referring to the parent comment.

This reads as pretty clearly AI-generated text, which is against HN guidelines.

Almost every Intel CPU released since 2013 has AVX2 support. Some Atom SKUs were longer holdouts, but the fraction of x86 CPUs shipped in the last decade that have AVX2 support is …

The statistics reported by GitLab for the x264 repo ( https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264 ) report that the project is 13.5% assembly; common utilities used in the inner loops …

See this correct comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47061696 AVX512 leading to thermal throttling is a common myth that from what I can tell traces its origins to …

The only CPU I've encountered that supports SVE is the Cortex-X925/A725 that is used in the NVIDIA DGX Spark platform. The vector width is still only 128 bits, but you do get acces…

What makes you think that RAII- and arena-based strategies are in tension with one another? RAII and smart pointers are more related to the ownership and resource management model.…

The parking spaces in question aren’t free; the city sold the long-term rights to operate the parking facilities to the private sector in a bid to balance one year’s budget.

Overprovisioning is much less aggressive than this in practice. A read-oriented SSD with 15.36 TB of storage typically has 16.384 TiB of flash. The same hardware can be used to imp…

But, if model development stalls, and everyone else is stalled as well, then what happens to turn the current wildly-unprofitable industry into something that "it makes sense to ke…

I think they were trying to say “radix sort is a more important application of prefix sum than extraction of values from a sparse matrix/vector is.”

Where did you get the pricing for vast.ai here? Looking at their pricing page, I don't see any 8xH200 options for less than $21.65 an hour (and most are more than that).

The last few generations of GPU architectures have been increasingly optimized for massive throughput of low-precision integer arithmetic operations, though, which are not useful f…

This is the common argument from proponents of compiler autovectorization. An example like what you have is very simple, so modern compilers would turn it into SIMD code without a …

It doesn’t sound like they are referring to newborns needing to be physically present to get a SSN. Instead, it seems to refer to persons who are registering to start receiving the…

And "our best iPhone ever." If it weren't your best iPhone ever, then I would be better off buying one of your older models.

If your roboadvisor is buying the individual stocks that make up the index in my personal account for me, do you have data that compares the slippage (bid/ask spread) paid across a…

For devices with compute capability of 7.0 or greater (anything from the Volta series on), a single thread block can address up to the entire shared memory size of the SM; the 48 k…

Protecting the main branch is definitely a good practice, but the other potential hazard is: - Having a developer on your team that rebases their own feature branch - Then tries to…

Difftastic is a useful tool, but in my experience, it's far too slow to be suitable as the default selection for a ubiquitous tool like git.

Whether the technique described here will actually be faster is pretty application-dependent. The problem is that, on x86, shuffle instructions are the bottleneck for many algorith…
