Yes, ranking requires reducing to a single dimension where all interesting things are multi-dimensions. This is a lossy process, which often tells more about the one(s) doing the r…

Profession as sibling said, available here: https://www.inf.ufpr.br/renato/profession.html The wikipedia entry also has link to the text but the above is nicer IMHO, just the raw t…

I'm sorry I won't share much details, I don't think much is public on Vsora architecture and don't want to breach any NDA... From their web page Euclyd is a "many small cores" acce…

Very simplified, AI workloads need compute and communications and compute dominates inference, while communications dominate training. Most start-ups innovate on the compute side, …

From Le Monde live feed, RTE (French electricity network manager) declared the issue unrelated to this fire. "Le gestionnaire français souligne par ailleurs que cette panne n’est p…

castxml ( https://github.com/CastXML/CastXML ) may be what you want. It uses the Clang front-end to output an XML representation of a C or C++ parse tree. It is then possible to tu…

On the L/S unit impact: data movement is expensive, computation is cheap (relatively). In "Computer Architecture, A Quantitative Approach" there are numbers for the now old TSMC 45…

It's a good but hard question... Because cellular is huge. In a professional context, nobody knows it all in details. There are specializations: core network and RAN, and inside RA…

LTE total latency is 20-50 ms, and you compare this to the marketing "air link only" 5G latency of 1 ms. It's apple and oranges ;) FYI, the air link latency for LTE was given as 4-…

Emacs is in the process of moving from legacy languages modes using regexps and elisp for syntax analysis to new modes using tree sitter. In this context, what does a name like "c-…

Hi, in case you're not already aware of the name clash, there's already a `rr` in the programming world. It's "record and replay": https://rr-project.org/ . Very different, but a v…

See just above the map: "This has been age-standardized, assuming a constant age structure of the population for comparisons between countries and over time.". This is what you sug…

Take the infinite loop as just an example of an issue with depth-first search and backtracking. To be more general, I'd say that the issue is that the overall performance of a Prol…

You may want to try x2go. It uses the older NX protocol version 3, while NoMachine is at version 4. It's good enough for my use case, and support remote applications just fine: thi…

> I bet it had diesel generators when it was in service with AT&T to boot. 20 to 25 years ago I visited a telecom switch center in Paris, the one under the Tuileries garden next to…

Use llamafile [1], it can be as simple as downloading a file (for mixtral, [2]), making it executable and running it. The repo README has all the info, it's simple and downloading …

You can try running tests in parallel with the memory sanitizer (MSAN) enabled. MSAN uses a lot of memory, and on a 64 GB machine I have to reduce the amount of parallelism not to …

For a given process design kit (PDK), the synthesis tool will have a few different types of transistors. They correspond to different trade-offs between size and power on one hand,…

The opposite: eSIM allows IoT devices being moved from one operator to another remotely, with no physical SIM swap. With device using physical SIM this wouldn't be economical, with…
