Does that take into account the efficiency of transforming the gas to electricity first? Ah, well we have other power sources as well. But if you were to use gas, it doesn't seem to make much difference (if the gas power plant doesn&#x

At least in Finland's Nordea bank you can order a physical code calculator, they used to be small enough to keep on your wallet but the new one is the size of an old small phone. It even has a QR scanner. So I just keep it at home.

AMD already has Composable Kernels[1], and supports for example Triton[2]. Then there is also HIP[3], and there are tools to automatically convert from from CUDA to HIP. But since CUDA is the de-facto standard, there is always friction to u

I don't think the distinction between indoors or outdoors usage is relevant, in the end we are still talking about the volume of drinkable water people use. Whether they use it for drinking, cooking, washing, or watering the lawn.

I always found it interesting that you cannot have a domain name without publishing your address and phone number, or paying for an extra service.

"In a notebook, you can go back and edit and run individual lines of the notebook without re-running the whole notebook from the start and without re-computing everything that depends on what you just edited." Isn't this a st

I bought Unihertz Pocket Titan, at least it was different! Quite thick and heavy, but the battery lasts about 6 days even without any power-saving mode.

Since with CUDA you are programming so close to hardware, and hardware (and CUDA itself) has advanced so much, I recommend you to go trough very carefully all the major CUDA versions and see how it has evolved. Well, strictly speaking I&#x2

I'm not familiar with this library, how does `text("(now())")` evaluate and why there are extra parentheses? And should that be a lambda expression as well, so that `create_date` isn't just the timestamp when the python

I suppose all SW engineers have experience with data structures, when you are choosing whether to store the data into a dictionary, array or linked list. It is a bit more stretch to ask whether you've implemented a database before or n

That is what I usually do, I don't find very interesting to just load pre-existing models and feed data into them. But sometimes it is a necessity, if the network is too large (like Stable Diffusion, ResNet and its variants, ...).

One option is to go for Dell's Alienware line, depending on your needs you need to choose how much RAM you need on the GPU card. RTX 4000 generation seems to have at minimum 8 GB, which is sufficient for most problems for now.

I think that kind of thinking leads to a lot of unhappines and burnout to many of talented & gifted people. But I was thinking this more in the context of academics and careers.
