The US was and probably still is doing the same thing as China with its domestic surveillance programs. They just have a better marketing / PR department about it. But don’t be mistaken, if you speak against this in the US, you’ll comm

L1 BW. When people use BW in their performance models, they don’t use only 1 bandwidth, but whatever combination of bandwidth makes sense for the _memory access pattern_. So if you are always accessing the same word, the first acces runs at

There are already GPUs with >90GB RAM? DGX-A100 has a version with 16 A100 GPUs, having each 90 Gb.. that’s 1.4TB of GPU memory on a single node.

A tree... like a Directory tree? I use a git repo, markdown documents, and one daemon on each device, to sync and share notes across all my devices. I have yet to find something that beats this in portability, flexibility, note quality (fro

Nvidia makes arm processors, GPUs and SoCs, so this integration will be good for them if the arm sale is approved.

I don’t think it applies at all stages (example: spacex vertical landing).

No, that’s not what that it is saying. It is saying that worse candidates get jobs over better candidates because there is an artificial minority quota that must be achieved. I helped fill a PhD position in Germany, it took 6 months to fill

i3 and sway also allow windows to overlap, which is a very useful thing to do (eg for pop up boxes, pop up menus, etc.). It’s just not the default. If I want to work on N windows at a time, i3 handles their tiling semi-automatically. All wi

But that’s not the case for Rust? Rust is backed by Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Intel, and many others... The Rust development and specification happens all in the open on GitHub. There is no single company controlling its f

I have an 8 year old MacBook Air. Still getting updates, still working perfectly well. Best 1000$ ever spent on a PC. Zero seconds invested in configuring or setting up anything. At the end of the day, buying a Computer is a tradeoff. A lot

C++ templates are „untyped“ or very „weakly“ typed at the kindest, while Rust generics are „strongly“ typed. That’s the main difference in these languages features. Saying that Rust generics are „weaker“ than C++ templates is technically in

Why wouldn’t you enable RTX and DLSS in a 3070 or 3080? I mean, I get that you can’t enable these on AMD 6000 series because the card doesn’t support these well.

Why would a data scientist making >200k$/year (~1k$/ work day) spend a single second of their time trying to “workaround” something whose solution only costs 1.5k$? Spending a week/year working around ROCm would already co

Does it support pointers? It seems this is only for shaders, but if that’s the case one has been able to use shaders with Rust via GLSL since forever.

Does it have an equivalent of build.rs ?

That already exists, and it’s called the „platforms C ABI“. Every language that supports C FFI can talk with any other language that also supports it. All these other efforts are just really higher level wrappers around that, but given that

Citation needed? We connect all our sensors to an edge AI Server that handles sensor data, and only uploads to the cloud what’s actually relevant. It works quite well, and there are many OEMs that offer such systems, with accelerators for i

Hard to be excited about this when ASAN only catches a small fraction of only the easiest to debug memory safety issues, and when hardware support for these like the one in SPARC or in ARM CHERI require a significant amount of programmer an

How fast is Julia wrt to CUDA C++, or C++/Rust? In those languages, I can actually take the theoretical practical hardware limits (memory BW, throughput, latency), and relatively easily achieve 99% of their utilization. When people sa

Not really. A lot of people consider good APIs a work of art, independently of the implementation.

Why Edge? Being “critical” about products depends on how educated a population is. I just asked to a bunch of friends (we are having breakfast in Europe) if they know about smart microwaves. They all know they exist, but asked “why on earth

. In release mode, the behavior of integer overflow in Rust is modulo two arithmetic instead of not UB/cannot happen. These two are not the same thing. See my reply to masklin.
