I’ve always mused with the concept that these companies could, in theory, start covert eugenics programs

Was nice seeing that the 5090 exists, but boy, those prices.
Re:Windows Control Panel set for deprecation on Friday August 23, 2024 @09:57AM (#41329069)
One thing I greatly dislike about the settings app is the fact we can only have one section opened at once. If you are debugging, say Bluetooth and sound issues, the setting app can only exclusively show either Bluetooth or Sound, not both, (AFAIK) you can't open a second instance of the app.
They are int4 quantized

The only "documentation" we have is in the form of the binary utility docs, which has a list of SASS instructions

https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-binary-utilities/index.htm...

though there is no guarantee this is exhaustive, no opcodes either (though you could reverse engineer it using cuobjdump -sass and a hex editing like I've been doing). I'm pretty sure some of the instructions in the list are deprecated as well (95% percent sure that PMTRIG does nothing >Volta)

Been playing Might and Magic IV & V (Worlds of Xeen) on ScummVM lately, probably the best way to play them.

According to the manual, UVM is supposed to be working on vGPUs (at least MIG-backed vCS), I could never get it working though
I've had luck extracting/parsing documentation with chatGPT and the Link Reader plugin.
I watched the Ken Burns' Vietnam documentary a few weeks ago, this reminds me of the claims that the Nixon campaign pretty much did the same thing in '68 with the Republic of Vietnam and the peace talks (i.e. our guy will get you a better deal.)
Hopefully the setting will help it avoid the soap-opera/theatre look of The Hobbit

I was wondering how Flight Simulators worked in the 70's, was pleasantly surprised. Really creative solution for the visual feedback.
Re:Yet another scientific body has debunked bitemark analysis on Thursday October 20, 2022 @02:59PM (#33279104)
This report is relevant. If I recall correctly it pointed that some of these analyses are not really reproducible.

Re:Ask HN: What book(s) did you love reading this year? on Monday November 22, 2021 @08:36PM (#29313684)
* Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson

* Royal Tars: The Lower Deck of the Royal Navy - Brian Lavery

* SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome - Mary Beard

The explanation reminds me of this wonderful (and previously posted on HN) article https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/reverse-engineering-source...

Yep, nothing novel about it

I think MAUs are multiply-accumulate units.
Their largest border is shared with Brazil
Sounds like a more general version of what Sambanova is doing with their Dataflow unit.
Technically the joint venture between Novalpina Capital and two of the original founders have a majority stake on the company.

Is ARM a Japanese company because it's (currently) owned by SoftBank? Will it be American when Nvidia takes over? Or are they a British company because they are based in the UK?
