FWIW, you're comparing a training-specialized chip to an inference-specialized chip. It'd be more apples to apples to compare to TPU v4 lite, but I can't find that chip's details anywhere beyond some mentions in the TPU

Very cool! Here's a tutorial from Sebastian Lague on implementing something similar in Unity, which may have served as inspiration for this project: https://youtu.be/sLqXFF8mlEU

I want to believe this but I can't find a source, can you share where you've read this?

We're up against massive loss of biodiversity, loss of habitable space on the planet, and an enormous amount of human suffering and loss of human life due to the current and future effects of climate change. A smaller population will n

Until per capita carbon emissions are below zero, falling population is a good thing.

I feel like this happened to Gitlab / GitHub as well. Gitlab was gaining a ton of popularity and momentum with their free private repositories and built-in CI testing infrastructure. Then GitHub swooped in and offered all the same thin

Do you expect these optimizations making their way into std::sort eventually?

Thanks Isaac. How do I reach that page? I expected it on one of the informational pages such as the home page or benchmark programs page, but had no luck.

I can't find the documentation for it, but you can see here that they measure the size of the source file after gzip compression, which reduces advantage of code-golf solutions: https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-t

Not exactly what you're looking for, but here are some 2D plots of code size vs. execution time with geometric means of fastest entries and smallest code size entries of each language: https://twitter.com/ChapelLanguage

Strict immigration policies during the previous presidency combined with the pandemic have led to record low immigration. Census projections generally expected immigration levels to remain constant. However, immigration plummeted from a net

Tangentially, I am amazed at the data in your source about how fast population growth is leveling off in the US. In 2020, the census projected US population to continue growing and cross 400 million by 2058 [1]. This projection accounts for

The post focuses on countering the strawman-like argument that resource shortages are the primary threat with overpopulation. However, it is overwhelmingly clear that climate change is the biggest threat related to overpopulation, unless we

Where did you find this feature? As a beta user, I have a hard time finding documentation for the features in Kagi. Ironically, searching about Kagi in Kagi is not helpful.

Any idea why this happens? I don't understand why WiFi vs. mobile data would impact how they want to personalize the results.

I've been relatively happy with Kagi so far. Happy to post some search results if you want to propose some queries to compare against Google.

I have been trying Kagi for a few months and have found it better than Google in most cases, though not a silver bullet. Here are the queries from the original article in Kagi: how to fix a flat tire Top result: https://

Knowledge growth is exponential. Rather than focusing on specific topics/tools, focus on trying to gain some form of knowledge, insight, or skill from whatever task you are working on. For example, if you are working on implementing a
