If only they made them in non-huge size.

I thought that Reddit has originally solved the problem of tuning each user's front page to their own tastes. Have I misremembered?

I feel like I don't understand social networks, Tumblr included, at all. Having had Tumblr account since way back doesn't help.

From the description, it's a pretty severe revamp of the game. Do you think it is justified? Also, I wonder, how did he go about improving the AI: it's a closed source game, after all.

This is a great guide for starting out, but how do I get TensorFlow on EC2 GPU instances in a more production-ready, reproducible way? Even the results of things like

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade -y
    sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git swig default-jdk zip zlib1g-dev

are dependent on the point in time when the commands are issued. Also, 75 minutes is a long time to spin up an instance.

One can choose from the older models, then, or use a monitor. I don't want the crappy smarts in my devices.

What are 'Sony Z3C foxfooding devices'? Sony Z3 Compact smartphones? [1] They are my favorite smartphones of relatively current crop (powerful, compact, great battery life - as compact and great as it gets nowadays, anyway) but I haven't heard of them being used for Firefox OS.

When will the final competition happen?

Not necessarily so. E.g. IKEA renders everything. http://www.cgsociety.org/index.php/CGSFeatures/CGSFeatureSpe...

What is this PonyChat you speak of?

> set to vote on the proposal

Who will actually get to vote and when?

I couldn't figure out exactly what do those do.

What are Daily Fantasy Sports Clients?

Yes, I was primarily worried whether cold does permanent damage to the batteries, and whether running them in cold temperatures is actually within operational parameters/covered by warranty.

I very much support Tesla's spearheading of electic cars, but the thing that bothers me most is: how well do they work in colder climate?

I never seen functioning in cold climate mentioned by Musk or Tesla representatives. In my understanding, cold should be killing the batteries. If Tesla has met with considerable success in cold-proofing their cars, surely they would tell?

PPGTT is short for the Per-Process Graphics Translation Tables. [1]

It is a feature supported by Intel's Ivy Bridge+, enabling GPU process isolation. This enhances the security by providing a per file descriptor address space / context.

Phoronix has been covering the process of PPGTT development [2]

How large was the development team of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, at its peak? Is the overall budget known, as well?

I wonder how big the really big nowadays is.

Must be just the geographical center of the USA. Probably it just puts all the relays which don't have further geolocation than the USA, there. It doesn't do the same for Russia, though...

Yes, there is colocation. It is too much headache to deal for me, on my own, but if someone is using it (it exists for a reason, right?), I expect the companies operating MMO games to be one of them. World of Warcraft costs $200M worth of infrastructure [1] (annually?) including salaries; surely you can afford colocation, as well as whatever you need, for such kind of invoice?

Well, maybe GPUs are good enough and more specialized hardware isn't needed, or does not justify the additional development costs?

I wonder if any MMO has tried using specialized hardware accelerators like ASIC or FPGA boards for acceleration of e.g. voxel based physics?

If anything, it's easier to justify running exotic hardware on a server, where its cost will amortize among thousands of players, than it is to expect users to install it on the client. And the game industry has tried physics accelerators for clients (PhysX).

...and "watch" means a wearable device for keeping track of time.

It is, indeed, possible: https://youtu.be/XXs0I5kuoX4?t=2m24s

Though I don't think it would allow you to probe the unencrypted data or the key. Not at the connectors to the crystal, at least: it is still encrypted there.

NVidia and AMD haven't even utilized processes beyond 28 nm, at all (they are still in the pipeline).

Budget-conscious projects use 180 nm. [1] [2]

Why aren't servers using the proposed pattern already?

Next thing to books that do not exist are nanobooks the length of a twitter post:

They speak of larger stories, but that's all there is. @QuietPineTrees says they are inspired by @ThePatanoiac, @BrassApothecary and @TheCityofNames.

What was stopping them?

Living in Russia (St.-Petersburg), [1] I'm experiencing firsthand the territorial restrictions that transnational companies impose on us. E.g. Amazon doesn't offer any books in Russian and for a long time there wasn't anything of substance to read in App Store nor Google Play, either.

I assumed it's because copyright law works different in every country: to be able to offer all the property they already have rights to in the USA, in the new country (e.g. Russia), they have to strike deal(s) with the copyright holders in that country, perhaps a lengthy and/or impossible task. Yet it doesn't look like it in case of Netflix: they started working in 130+ countries overnight.

[1] I wonder if it the Russian St.-Petersburg mentioned in the press release? Works either way: Singapore is far from both.

It is an option, anyway.
