I tend to think that large corporation are optimized to run things as usual, not make new ones, unlike a startup. Hence the obsession with process, and why it somehow works.

I recently bought a subscription to pcgamer uk pdf edition ( the website is I suspect deliberately unusable ) - much to my surprise, I enjoy reading it that way . I haven’t bought a paper edition in years though.

I go through academic literature on a regular basis, hoping that some kind of really major improvement might magically appear. Usually the ideas are great, but they don’t survive real life equities markets ( from dividends to non convex pay

I disagree, nvidia didn’t build ai. Gpgpu dates back to the early 2000s, and it happens that deep learning as a computational problem is very well suited to GPUs.People figured this out around 2012-2013, and just like with cuda a few years

Well it could have happened but have required a non gpu-friendly architecture, it could have happened in 80 years from now and nvidia be long gone, etc. So from their perspective, it wouldn’t have happened at all. But I understand my comme

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrookGPU?wprov=sfti1# If you’re interested in the early gpgpu work, which interestingly enough worked both on Ati( now amd ) and nvidia hardware. I agree to disagree :-)

Well in that particular case they became dominant in the gpgpu space because they had a vastly superior offering ( cuda ), which they then capitalized on, while their competitors produced inferior products. I read my first gpgpu papers arou

This is true, but they’ve been lucky because a gigantic new market appeared which is very friendly to their hardware ( and they make sure it is like you said ). That market could also never have happened at all.

This paper caused me to start doubting the Linux scheduler on medium sized boxes ( 36 physical cores in 2016 ) and helped me find an annoying bug in the rhel 7 kernel which prevented some processes from being scheduled at all in some cases(

How can they block municipal fiber isps ? Or prevent epb from selling services ?

Incredible. That’s a fault tolerant system, operated by a highly knowledgeable crew. Congrats to all those involved, from system designers to pilots and crew.

I’m not from the us, so just watched it. It’s very surprising to me that such a coarse ad would show to so many people. To me ( and I have kids ) it feels instantly very very wrong. While I appreciate ms now makes a controller for people wi

That’s funny thanks :-)

Interesting feedback. I’ve found memory profiling in python to be vastly annoying, and tooling less than adequate. I’ll give it a try.

Incredible piece, very pleasant to read. I really like the technical vs business back and forth. I wonder how understandable it is for people with no understanding of nes internals though.

Agreed it means I no longer read Reddit at all because Apollo’s gone. I tried last week ( after a few months off Reddit) to install the Reddit app, and it’s appallingly bad. It’s so confusing that I’m not quite sure what sub I’m reading, wh

Could someone explain what this means ? ( I’m not even sure I understand the gif on the GitHub page ) I just see windows seemingly sharing data.

Yes that’s how it’s supposed to work. Supposed to, because as you’ve noticed there’s a long list of oom related patches in the kernel because it’s doesn’t always kill what it should kill ! Theory and practice unfortunately…

by Agingcoder 3y ago
That’s not what OP is saying. If your program gets shot by the oom killer your machine doesn’t lock up. OP is complaining that their machine locks up. What you’re describing is a reasonable scenario on Linux too that I’ve seen many times. O

You’re comparing apples and oranges here. Independently of the operating system , your 70g process might have an actual working set of 70 g, while the 55g might have had a working set of 1 gig. Furthermore your Vm was running most likely in

I very much agree with this, but it took me a long time to get it. I believe it’s one of the key difficulties for more technical types : understanding that software engineering, once you go past the very local aspects of it ( my dev on my w

AFAIK, they’re extremely difficult to find ( and expensive).

Agreed. My son and I have settled on a hybrid version : prepare the hunt, but don’t use ready made maps. We use Flickr,Google, Invader spotter, and slowly build a map of a specific area. Some of them we will then find from said map, others

I personally think such maps remove the fun part of the game, esp in cities like Paris. I’ve walked countless hours with my kids searching for them, it was great. They re not randomly placed so you eventually get a feel for where they are g

Cubic, or bbr I’ve seen in practice. Bbr is extremely efficient in particular ( and I’d like to know how Rémy compares to it ) Edit: bbr essentially builds and fits a model - in some ways it’s learning ( it’s stats essentially).

Just so I understand ( I’m not from the US) : the traffic light says red, pedestrian light says green, and car is allowed to turn ? If so, this is an obvious recipe for disaster.

Interesting. Based on what I see I don’t understand why anyone would buy it. It looks painful to use because it’s too small.
