Re:Making AMD GPUs competitive for LLM inference on Thursday August 10, 2023 @10:56AM (#37076955)
theoretically you could use GPU P2P on a supported amd chipset (epyc processor) or you could manage this communication between cards using your CPU and RAM. I think the latter is what people using nvidia consumer GPUs do because P2P is disabled on those cards
Re:JavaScript import maps are now supported cross-browser on Wednesday May 03, 2023 @07:42AM (#35801143)
I think you're right but if you need treeshaking, some sorting of pack (minification of variable names, etc) or jsx you would still need a build step. I don't know if treeshaking and pack are that relevant for most people tho
Re:Help choose the syntax for CSS Nesting on Thursday December 15, 2022 @05:42PM (#34006842)
> Everyone wishes CSS nesting could use the same kind of simple syntax that Sass does. That’s impossible, however, because of the way browser parsing engines work.

I wish browser vendors could work around this limitation and stick to Sass syntax. IMHO all of those options seems strange and make it difficult to read.

Hi HN,I want to integrate spaced repetition on my SaaS app (under development) using Anki's modified SuperMemo 2.0 library, but it is licensed under AGPL v3.As stated in the license, any modification needs to be distributed back to the community. I will not modify it, but it will be an essential component of my application. Creating a work (my app) "based on" another work (Anki) qualifies as a...

IMO finding a market that is rapid growing is the most difficult part. It seems that I can never find a good idea worth pursuing.

Hi HN! I've 9 years of working experience as a full stack developer and this month I decided to take a step back to study zand try to get a remote job. The problem is that I can't showcase most of the jobs that I did and I didn't contribute to open source. How can I start to build a portfolio being unemployed, perfectionist (most of the time stuck at analysis paralysis) and not very good at...

What if the "no-cloning theorem"[0] wasn't actually right? That would enable doing a bunch of copies of the same particle state, making it possible to predict the probability distribution of each particle. That way it would be possible to send information doing measurements[1] rather than forcing a particle state.

Sorry, what did you mean by "in 21 days route"? Also, do you have any MOOC on doing business to recommend?
