The forum features people running multiple GPU's using onboard graphics as a secondary GPU and improving performance drastically, yet a few cases where the onboard GPU really hurt the benchmark. Some other people are seeing modest improvement, others are doubling their scores with this multi-gpu feature.
Yeah... I'd take this benchmark with a grain of salt.
This is really refreshing work, and we can all benefit from other search engines focused on improving the field. I tried a bunch of searches and some of them were quite wonderful, others were a little dry on results. But overall I enjoyed going through it. Here is some critiques if you don't mind:
I did search for "Daria Bilodid" and the results were a bit troublesome. First the Wikipedia result did not work:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daria_Bilodid vs
https://encyclopedia.marginalia.nu/wiki/Daria_Bilodid
Secondly the results matched a few judoinside.com results which is ok, including sites to her competitors, but seemed to miss the judoinside website for her: https://www.judoinside.com/judoka/92660/Daria_Bilodid.
The design is hard on my eyes, I have a average size screen and its using less than half of the width. The line-height is enormous and seems to breakup flow making it uncomfortable for me to read. The spacing around each result is the same as between titles and paragraph items, which again was unpleasant to read.
I don't see a problem with having advertisers require to have references or sources to any quotes or facts they represent. The sources would have to be credible and shown in context (no sound bites) and perhaps view-able by the users easily. Facebook or a third-party should be required to make sure the sources look credible and all reported facts or quotes have sources attached. Such a system would put most of the leg work on the advertisers and make the process easier to administer.
I have no idea if Facebook already does any of this, but from their policy about fact checking, they do not require any political ads to go through their third party fact-check. Otherwise the third-party fact checker appears to do all the research themselves or they may reach out to the advertisers for more information.

It was also really unimpressive in my opinion, instead of being smarter and making broad decisions about tactics that are harnessed by some perfect unit composition knowledge, the AI won on a purely micro scale.
There are videos from several microbots such as Automaton 2000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKVFZ28ybQs that showcase what super APM can do. The DeepMind AI that beat some pro players did it by having better micro while generally having worse strategies. The DeepMind matches showed how better micro can turn a generally weaker unit composition into the winning unit composition just as that Automaton 2000 video did.
To me it seemed that the DeepMind team figured out that the only way to beat competent players was to do what all those microbots do and pump APM into godly levels. They decided to limit APM, however like you said, just average APM and have the bots explode APM when needed. The real funny match was when MaNa beat Deepmind by completely breaking the AI with generally simple drop strategies and made Deepmind look very much inept.
The costs of an NFL stadium are usually split between the city (tax payers), the NFL, and the owner. For instance AT&T arena for the dallas Cowboys was supposed to cost $650 million and the city Arlington provided $325, NFL provided $150 loan, and Jerry Jones (the Cowboys) paid the rest. It is speculated that the total cost was $1.3 billion which was mostly footed by Jerry Jones.
The Los Angeles Stadium (Ram) is now estimated to cost $4.9 billion when finished in 2020 and also house LA Chargers. The stadium is supposedly completely privately funded but significant tax breaks are expected. I suppose more concrete details will emerge when its finished.
The Las Vegas stadium (Raiders) is supposed to cost $1.9 billion with $750 million in tax payer money and $1.1 billion from Raiders themselves. It is also supposed to finish in 2020 and officially be owned by the Las Vegas Stadium Authority and shared with UNLV.
So each stadium has its own deals.
Cannot bundle a free meal with your job because it's abusing your position to stifle competition. I jest but I imagine it may be hard for some restaurants to open and offer lunch menu's in these areas.
If they want those taxes, they need to fix their tax laws. No company will freely donate their earnings.
It was really interesting to read that debugging was working in Linux, while MacOSX support was being worked on. Support for Windows was completely missing.
Here in the US, we just bought a car and because they didn't have the model on lot anywhere, we just ordered through Toyota the exact model we wanted with all the features we wanted in preferred colors/finish. The dealership still got a cut but they helped us select the car are made the process very easy.
I also had trouble getting arrow keys to work on Chrome 46.0.2490.71 Win
Makes you wonder how good the battery life of the tablet will be.
There has to be some trade offs? If they pull this off thou.. I'll line up for one.
Windows 10 is just another example of the trend in all operating systems. It came out a little more buggy than what used to be considered acceptable. New features are added that are unpolished and made at the expense of privacy or usability. Even thou people hated Vista, under the hood there was a lot of technical improvements to be happy about. Windows 10 really is just hinging on directx 10.
Sadly this trend is there with Apple as well. No one really uses the family ipad2 anymore since we upgraded to ios8.
Isn't concurrency and parallelism the big ones?
Its illegal in many states to do this, including north carolina since Wilson, NC turned to be successful. TWC lobbied and got new laws passed to prevent other cities to do the same. Wilson, NC got an exemption because they aleady built the infrastructure.
Number one wishlist item for next C++ is to add networking libraries to the STL. Its past time that C++ knew about the internet.
In 1998 she had a server in her basement? That is a little bit of a shock.
I thought this was going to be a parody article or at least anything other than a story about how Martha Stewart has a drone and loves it. But alas, Martha Stewart is more tech savvy then I have ever given her credit for. That's really awesome Martha, have fun with your drone.
I just don't see computers being able to be better drivers then humans. Especially when dealing with something a programmer hasn't thought of or situations which are hard to predict.
I would definitely would prefer my taxi driver to be a person than a computer. (and honestly the trip would take twice as long in the city with a computer driver)
Utilities would kill any chance of competition. Playing devils advocate here but if your city was in charge of upgrading your internet, you would be stuck with their plans and budget and red tape. No hope for google fiber or otherwise to attempt to make things better.
This. There is an article by Michael Abrash that goes into good detail about this:
http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/when-it-comes-to-resol...
quoted:
"Given which, the obvious question is: how high does VR resolution need to go before it’s good enough? I don’t know what would be ideal, but getting to parity with monitors in terms of pixel density seems like a reasonable target. Given a 90-degree field of view in both directions, 4K-by-4K resolution would be close to achieving that, and 8K-by-8K would exceed it."
I don't know if you are praising Luckey or calling him just a figurehead. Don't underestimate his intelligence, he is a really smart guy.
Microsoft is often being thumbed as being thickheaded and stubborn as well as unable to be flexible and quick enough to change with the market. "Short attention span" is definitely something new.
People don't really remember what the Web looked like back in Netscape Navigator days. Back then IE replicated some quirks from Netscape so websites would look similar.
