Yea, that's not going to hold up to a federal investigation.

Needs 40GB VRAM, down to 24GB by reducing the number of frames processed in parallel.

Your honor, what you see as "Chrome" is actually 2^x distinct browsers, with x being the number of A/B test groups currently deployed. Each distinct combination of features represent a distinct product experience and thus a d

Probably not as efficient, but I've been happily using grc [0] for the past several years. It handles simple rules quite well - beyond the basic info/debug/error coloring I use it for QOL such as different colors for even&#x2

When will we ever learn to separate control from data?

If it's CPython we're talking about, a function call can cause non-negligence performance impact in a hot loop. I wouldn't assume anything in Python is 'cheap'

This isn't a production unit, but a research project to play with silicon photonics.

Don't give them ideas... They'll happily spring for a way to funnel taxpayer dollars into the media empire while laundering it through this innocent-sounding setup.

The google paper refers to the existence of some 'permissions-aware index' (paraphrasing) that's used to answer range queries like this, but doesn't cover how this index would work. I know various Zanzibar implementation

I'm not a scientist, but personally I expect I'll have two "wow, this is really happening" moments: (1) When there's peer-reviewed replication from a group of reputable labs. (2) When I see the classic superconducto

Alas, we have Wall Street to thank. Nobody really believes this - not even Wall Street - but everyone knows how the game is played and begrudgingly plays along.

I find the development quite interesting, and it lends credence to the theory Intel's NUC line was technically profitable (or at least not horrifically in the red), but just didn't make strategic sense - especially from a '

A common abuser of this is the Discord desktop app, which listens on a local port. When your browser navigates to a Discord channel's join page, it sends a request to localhost via this port and sends the channel ID to the client. This

The extreme case of this would be Poison Pills, so if that's allowed then I suspect you can contract for this as well. Having said that this is the type of thing that is likely to get dragged in front of a judge, so the more foolproo

My hunch is low volume and an enterprise-leaning customer base. Engineers aren't cheap, and those who can build security-sensitive products even less so. When I bought a (single) Yubikey from their website late last year, it was Fedexe

In the early days of SSD adoption there were 'Hybrid HDD' that effectively acted the way you described, using a small SSD as a read/write cache. Ultimately, the price of SSDs dropped to the level were such solutions filled an

The Federal government controls immigration policy, and also wields tremendous power through taxation. They also control inflows of money from outside investment.

It's on pace to hit 100M users in a few days, so if anything I think it's evidence that (at least in social media) those things simply aren't that important these days. Disclosure: work at Meta, not on Threads

I think standing as a whole is a useful rule, but it needs to be disambiguated and more consistently enforced. The Court has always used standing as a convenient excuse to weasle out of difficult subjects.

While I agree with the overall outcome of this case on congressional authority and moral hazard grounds, I must say I am quite concerned about the court's logic regarding standing in this specific case.

I feel this was the inevitable outcome of the increased availability/popularity/awareness of ad blockers - a tragedy of the commons scenario that's set us on an escalating feedback loop that won't end well for anyone inv

I'm very confused - how did LowEndBox get involved at all? I thought it was just a place to promote & discuss cheap VPS hosting, self-hosted software, and other technical topics?

Show me a serious (i.e. used in production) web framework that is 10,000x faster or slower than React or Vue or Spring when measured on a real-life workload (i.e. not testing a single function in a hot loop). All I'm saying is that if

15s vs 1s is only a factor of 15x, not 1000x. The load time of the oft-considered-bloated reddit.com for me is ~5s. Let's use that as a benchmark. If you told me you got reddit.com to load 1000x faster (5ms), then yes that is extraor

In that case the fairer comparison should have been to Redshift, though I will concede that Amazon walked into this one themselves by overhyping Aurora's OLAP capabilities. OLTP != OLAP, and the sooner database vendors learn to stay in

by RandomBK 3y ago
Perhaps, but Python vs C is hardly an apples-for-apples comparison. I could get 1000x differences benchmarking Aurora vs Redis for example. That's what I meant by "used in a way not meant to be used". Broadly speaking, there&

They don't even bother trying to make this sound believable. You claim it's 1.5x-2x faster? Sure I might believe that despite your prohibition against benchmarks. 10x faster? You better show how your engineers pulled out that mi

Given much of this comes from English Common Law, we get to blame time immemorial for how our legal system works.

Why is it a gotcha? These kinds of treaties in general only care about the 'feelings' of nation-states, not individuals. The rule exists because countries often have some say in whether to extradite, and they make that decision ba
