If you didn’t have any faith in the mechanisms you had to mitigate COVID-19 pharmaceutically, you would act in much the same manner. Sinovac may just not be that good over time, or maybe it’s just a pride thing in which we have a political

IIRC back when computers were a fair amount more expensive in the early 00s, eMachines and some other ultra low cost computing platforms came supported by installed adware for extremely low costs - I bought one at that time as it was the on

The old turntable.fm was basically a chatroom in which people would take turns queueing songs for the entire room to listen to and talk about. You could like or dislike the song playing as well. If enough people downvoted the song it would

I can confirm that these statements just don't ring very true at most major technology companies; it may be a thing specifically for startups which I have little recent experience with. I know plenty of people in FAANG, Microsoft, Sa

Agree. I feel like the division in which designers only work in Figma/Sketch/etc. without actually being able to implement those things in HTML and CSS leads to designs that are often impractical for the platform. Shouldn't t

I like this one, too. The moment the people are your adversary in a technical discussion, you have probably lost sight of the actual problem. Much of the time I find it's misaligned incentives or, as Amy wrote here, sometimes it&#x27

I wonder if this is why I saw Displayport to HDMI adapters this morning in the "Health and Household" category on Amazon over the past couple of days, or if those have always been there and been mislabeled.

The Folding@Home GPU client works way better on Linux with NVIDIA/CUDA than it does with AMD. I could not get a 4x Radeon VII rig with ROCm to utilise more than a single GPU at any time due to OpenCL errors. Also, the folding@home Ubun

Rosetta@home (BOINC) still has a ton of work items and is CPU based, so it's easy to run on most anything. Some are COVID-19, some are MERS, some are things that have nothing to do with coronaviruses.

this is not universally true. i bought a new 1000W seasonic prime ultra titanium for use in a hashcat rig not too long ago, and the PSU would immediately switch off when all the cards drew power to 100% (all the cards drew no more than 800W

On macOS? It is possible to use a GPU inside of Docker/macOS with Hyperkit? There's PCIe passthrough and/or SR-IOV support? ROCm requires Linux kernel extensions.
