I sure hope the Shanghai line is not using 40 year old technology.

From the same link...

> The Emsland test facility was the only Transrapid track in Germany.[citation needed] It has been deactivated, and is scheduled to be disassembled.

Then why was the train not put in service?

BTW Elo is not an abbreviation it is a persons name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpad_Elo

Nit: replace went with gone.

I think the air will escape through the lungs eventually.

Why don't you tell us why it is tricky?

Hmm, thanks for putting into words something I have been doing unknowingly my entire life.

Is it an OS if there is no userland?

And Minix 3 is an OS?

It uses ARM cores. I don't see how that is independent.

LOL.

> The Anglicization is mos-cow.

It's not. The anglicization is MOS-koh. MOS-kau is American.

This does not answer the question. I think people here know how equations work. But what's the "x" in the article?

Yes, I thought so. Isn't that unnecessary overhead? I think this disqualifies Spanish and other languages like it.

Does Spanish assign gender to inanimate objects?

I have never felt the need to explicitly lookup history since I switched to fish shell. It has very good command completion (from history).

The distinction in ALGOL, Pascal etc. is useless.

But if you change your definitions such that expressions always evaluate to a single value and do not have any side effects while statements produce some kind of side effect (and may or may not yield a value), the distinction becomes important.

Especially if you believe side-effects need special handling (i.e. you are a functional programmer).

I don't think it is. The AI would indeed tell you how the OP would feel if he were given the same news and asked the same question.

Awesome! It is also fantastic for understanding chunks of Bash script, Perl, AWK etc where if you don't know something then it's next to impossible to search for it using a non-AI search engine.

Bonus: you can also use it to understand what the various flags in a command do.

> fewer shading units

This is incorrect. NVIDIA uses a unified graphics and compute engine. A CUDA core is a shading unit. These datacenter GPUs have a shit ton of these (CUDA cores).

Edit: actually the point I want to make is the A100 only retains those hardware units which can be used for compute. Some of these units may have a (dual) use for graphics processing but that is besides the point (since this is true of all CUDA enabled NVIDIA GPUs).

Unified payments interface: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Payments_Interface

This may not contradict what I said. Do you know for a fact these things are implemented using dedicated hardware?

Edit: I do not see a rasterizer anywhere in the block diagram (pg 14): https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-genomics-ep/ampere-archit...

Look at Turing's block diagram here (pg 20): https://images.nvidia.com/aem-dam/en-zz/Solutions/design-vis...

You can clearly see that the "Raster Engine" and "PolyMorph Engine" are missing from GA100 (but can be seen in TU100 for example).

To learn about these Graphics Engines see: https://www.anandtech.com/show/2918/2

There are AI / datacenter focused GPUs (like the A100, H100 etc.). They do not have any graphics rendering circuitry.

That's quite a cop out. Excuse me if I don't take your word for it.

The predictions made by your (US) meteorological department were wrong. Many would have died if we relied on you. Our meteorological department does better when it comes to local weather.

The presence of a creator does not change anything. Who created the creator?

Me neither, but I like it. When you refuse to engage with other people's arguments due to strongly held beliefs you are engaging in a religious activity. Those strongly held beliefs are your religion.

The last time I asked this I was given many reasons but the reason that stuck with me is (paraphrasing): "it is a complete system small enough to be understood by a single person".

As a counterpoint, every single job I've ever had I've got by submitting a resume. I have worked for six companies at this point.
