Well, from an anonymous account, it means jack. Bull, even.
But making a GPU is hard. Making a good GPU is even harder. This becomes a chicken and egg problem. If NVidia's hardware has quirks, and you're a game developer, you optimize your game for Nvidia's hardware. If someone else tries and builds a GPU, they discover that many, popular, games run like sh*t. Because of tens of years of strange workarounds to ship a game, drivers rewrite commands for specific games, game devs abuse the directx spec or do it wrong.
However, Nvidia set out 10-15 years ago to corner the professional general purpose GPU compute market with a software layer called CUDA. Software was written and optmised for CUDA, and not any other generic graphics library for reasons I don't know (I'm not a graphics developer, just a gamer). So now Nvidia enjoys a moat in gpGPU (as it was called).

I thought they were generally int8 or int16 vector multiply adds and occasionally float16 added in.
iirc, twitter turned off all anonymous access, unless you come from a search engine, then you get a limit number of requests. So zedeus came up with an idea to make a massive pool of search engine'd api tokens and use those to keep nitter up. The mirrors would have to copy that idea, and few (0?) have atm.
This is, as we all know, true to the "first order" approximation. We know it in business - you get what you incentivise - it's behind Goodhart's law (when a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure).
It is however, an incomplete description of human behaviour, again, as we all know. But since "second and higher" approximations of human behaviour are hard to model... they don't do it.
And just so you know, it's just as easy to do bad, "left wing", Lysenkoist economics.
It could so easily go badly though, and be worse than the existing system. The arguments in favor though, are very compelling.
But they did kick out the powerlifting coach, for a similar episode of sexual abuse.
lol. lmao, even.
Just an army moving through a region - just walking, scouting and "foraging" (this doesn't mean bushes, this means looting from rural villages) - guarantees a famine for those involved. Only the invention of the railway prevented (no, lessened) this.
Understood to mean (in the context of this blog) the difference in living standards and happiness are not affected by a 150k/year income or a 450k/year income. Or another way, "I (author) have encountered the diminishing return on happiness. dH/dm = 0".
Is it gravity, or is it gigameters of nuclei in every direction?
>What 28 year old is quite so perfect at political "donations" aka bribes?
One, he wasn't "perfect" or even close to it - he mostly gave to crypto positive politicians of both parties, and two, his lawyer mother and his lawyer father helped him
I love this idea.
You are playing the Motte and Bailey[1] tactic perfectly. You say that defunding means only "demilitarizing", which many people would probably agree with. But when put into practise, it's never that.
I mean, you don't need to delve very far into academia or lefty twitter to find extremist people saying exactly this, that defund does actually mean abolish, or is the first step to it. And the extremists are important in this case, because they are the ones put in power, or writing the text books for next generation in power.
So either, you're a fool & a useful idiot mindlessly parroting this Motte, or you're the deviant waiting to implement the Bailey.
They didn't neglect the style and art direction, but it absoutely required graphical horsepower. Maybe - though - you need top tier art direction to sell the sizzle of top shelf graphics.
I have seen a patent application for a technology from {big hardware company} addressing exactly this. Dunno if the approach will work, but there are definitely plans
