Why waste time porting something to a different platform when the platform of choice already has a ready made script?
I’ll admit right away that I know nothing about the subject at hand, but browsing a bit through this repo, we’re most definitely not talking about 200 trivial lines of code…
When I left my last rental after buying a house, my elderly white landlord asked me to help him put the property on Craigslist. When I did so and mentioned the Cupertino school district, he asked me to remove that part because “it would attract too many Indian families with kids” to avoid the curry smell. He had no issue with other Asian ethnicities, the previous tenant was Chinese.
I did not remove it, but I don’t know anything about the next renter.
I’ve since heard the same comment from people at work who rent out property. The curry smell is always the issue.
But I also don’t regret moving to the Bay Area at all, where I enjoy living in a large house on a quiet street, close to the hills, with year-round great weather. I don’t have a desire to go clubbing anymore, a neighborhood BBQ is just fine.
It was much easier to make friends in NYC, but friendships were transient too: there’s a lot of coming and going. It gets exhausting after a couple of years. I still like going back once a year or so, but a long weekend is enough.
What are Tesla falsely claiming about autopilot?
Somebody who directly invested in MBS is by definition not a normie.
That doesn’t improve the performance of a well behaved and well written compute shader. But avoiding hard hangs IMO deserves the label “improved thread divergence.”
> which I think is a terrible feature <> those are _really_ helpful but expensive
Guaranteed forward progress is a direct consequence of having an instruction counter per thread???
Or so I thought. How else would an SM be able to know the PC of a group of threads that wasn’t stuck?
Seems fair to me.
But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s this information is useful for outsiders, not a disservice.
As for wanting leakers to be dragged into court…
Are you saying, for example, that Amazon warehouse workers should not be allowed to expose terrible working conditions? Or pretty much any other unethical action of a company?
Because that’s exactly what you’re advocating for.
Thanks to those kinds of leaks, I had already decided I’d never want to work for that place.
When a good friend started working there, he confirmed pretty much everything.
After copy-and-pasting the same answers year after year in the self evaluation form, my manager got the message. That was, what, 10 years ago?
Now, once per year, we have a 20min meeting, he tells me “good job”, gives my new salary and RSUs, and we’re good.
It’s great.
It's a thing where you get performance reviews every 6 months, and where every minute contribution gets scored. Or so I've been told by a former mid-level Facebook manager who quit after a bit more than a year because he couldn't stand that toxic place anymore.
I found it particularly funny that the interviewers who gave the thumbs up to hire him would get bad marks because of his early departure.
They all have their fans and their critics who think it’s a boring sport.
I don’t follow F1, but based on a bunch of people in my Twitter feed, they finished one of the most exciting seasons in years.
The clones are a copy of the Saleae units from 10 years ago. They’re not at all comparable to the current high-end ones.
One of the killer features of the current ones is the ability to also record an analog trace. It’s fantastic when you need to record minutes of something that misbehaves electrically every once in a while.
My colleague interviewed and got hired. The hiring manager contacted through all his relevant LinkedIn relations.

Edit: it gets better. That $83M was never paid by the buyer in what may have been a protest organized by the Chinese government against the sale of looted treasures by the British. Meanwhile, the sellers were in the hook for a $14M estate tax that was based on the auction price.

You’re thinking that Broadcom acts as a company with a technological vision. This is a totally not the case and the CEO is very open about that.
Today’s Broadcom is a company that optimizes the financial performance of technology assets.
There are no long term plans.
Chances are that the current leadership doesn’t care about how VMware operates, as long as it cuts enough costs to increase metrics that Wall Street considers important.
Expect major cuts in R&D, receptionists, travel expenses, general benefits, and virtually no hiring of college grads or interns. You’ll be on the phone in a queue for hours to get outsourced IT support.
Support of open source should be the least of your worries.
Stock price might go up though…
But that aside, Turing is their first generation that a GPU System Processor (GSP) that runs the heavy binary blob that comes with the open source driver.
My instructor encouraged me to buy MS FS, pedals and a yoke.
As long as the landing strip is long enough, you can take things very slowly.
I’ve seen cases where a functional block of an SOC got used one generation to the next without even seeing an issue.
And then suddenly, due to changing boundary conditions, a bug got triggered.
I’ve similarly seen cases where HW bugs were known but SW workarounds where calculates to reduce the chances of them manifesting themselves to be low enough. Until they suddenly didn’t.
The state space of HW is incredible, and it’s often not possible to foresee or understand the interactions between of SW and HW.
As if SW applications that stress the system in some way are capable of triggering a HW bug?
And if the issue eventually does get solved with a SW update, then it most definitely was a SW bug, because software update that work around a HW bug aren’t a thing.
It’s not only exciting to know what’s cooking in ankthwr group’s kitchen, it’s also great when experts from other teams volunteer to help when you’re stuck on a problem that’s their domain.
In larger companies, knowing what others are working on makes it a lot easier to find experts at something. And I’ve never experienced any of them being reluctant to share due to fear of disclosing information about the products they’re working on.
I don’t think I’d feel at home at Apple.
