You could s/Designers/Engineers/ and end up with the same statement. What you seem to be getting at is "hackers with a great aesthetic sense" - and what makes a hacker, then? An en…

Meta hires technical artists for a fair amount of code-and-3D work. Here's an open job req: https://www.metacareers.com/v2/jobs/2076260812574632/

If you didn’t have any faith in the mechanisms you had to mitigate COVID-19 pharmaceutically, you would act in much the same manner. Sinovac may just not be that good over time, or…

IIRC back when computers were a fair amount more expensive in the early 00s, eMachines and some other ultra low cost computing platforms came supported by installed adware for extr…

Here are some other antidiscrimination clauses in Federal law that read in a similar fashion: From EEOC on employment: "race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orie…

The old turntable.fm was basically a chatroom in which people would take turns queueing songs for the entire room to listen to and talk about. You could like or dislike the song pl…

I can confirm that these statements just don't ring very true at most major technology companies; it may be a thing specifically for startups which I have little recent experience …

Agree. I feel like the division in which designers only work in Figma/Sketch/etc. without actually being able to implement those things in HTML and CSS leads to designs that are of…

I like this one, too. The moment the people are your adversary in a technical discussion, you have probably lost sight of the actual problem. Much of the time I find it's misaligne…

Update: Installed Windows 10 Pro on a separate SSD, and I appear to have GPU slots for all GPUs under Windows.

The Folding@Home GPU client works way better on Linux with NVIDIA/CUDA than it does with AMD. I could not get a 4x Radeon VII rig with ROCm to utilise more than a single GPU at any…

Rosetta@home (BOINC) still has a ton of work items and is CPU based, so it's easy to run on most anything. Some are COVID-19, some are MERS, some are things that have nothing to do…

I did the same. I was hoping for an HTCPCP-like W3C specification that I had somehow missed.

As of today in King County, people are already being directed to ICUs in other counties south of it [1]. It does not help that the first major outbreak is in a long-term care facil…

That's a different angle than Amazon's "no nonessential travel" policy. Being uncomfortable to travel and corporate policy banning travel have different implications and consequenc…

Do you have a link to a policy document or an article that states this?

this is not universally true. i bought a new 1000W seasonic prime ultra titanium for use in a hashcat rig not too long ago, and the PSU would immediately switch off when all the ca…

On macOS? It is possible to use a GPU inside of Docker/macOS with Hyperkit? There's PCIe passthrough and/or SR-IOV support? ROCm requires Linux kernel extensions.
