"If only they used DC from the wall socket, all those H100s would be green" is, not, I think, the hill you want to die on. But, yeah, my three 18MW/y racks agree that more power efficiency would be nice, it's just that R

"after years of working in DevOps, MLOps, and now GenAI" You truly know how to align yourself with hype cycles?

When using implicit typing, definitely `var foo = (int Foo)12`. Less sure what the explicit variant should look like, since parsing may be trickier, but `(int Foo) foo = 12` might work?

You can do this in C# as well, so that the final line in the snippet below causes a compile-time error, which is quite nice for many purposes: private enum Derp { } private enum Foo { } var derp = (Derp)12; var foo = (Foo)

Counterpoint: no, it's just more hype. Doing real-time OCR on 1280x1024 bitmaps has been possible for... the last decade or so? Sure, you can now do it on 4K or 8K bitmaps, but that's just an incremental improvement. Fact is, full

That's... not the title of the linked article? And, whereas it's nice that Rider is now free for non-commercial use, and it's definitely a capable IDE, Visual Studio remains an equally capable-and-frequently-updated competito

Pravda has been out of print since 1991. So, while I get your sentiment, it's probably good to acknowledge that propaganda has gotten a bit more... subtle in the meantime?

Oops. Well, since recursive acronyms are widely-accepted in our industry as well, I'll just leave that one up.

Nah, 'RISC-V is slow' is not exactly an uncommon sentiment: see, e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41920766 Not surprising, since the few physical RISC-V implementations that are available under-perform
