Phi is a strange architecture and people aren't used to it. but 9 orders of magnitude is a bit ridiculous, really 1 billion time faster... Do you have the actual report?
So a gpu like titanx get you about 2Tflop/s and 350GB/s of memory bandwidth. A modern core i7 with 8 cores gets you about 100Gflop/s and about 50GB/s of memory bandwidth. If you are looking at integer ops you get similar ratios.
So assuming you can saturate both architecture, you should see a difference of roughtly a factor of 10. If your application saturates one architecture and not the other one, I could buy an other factor of 10 with a bit of arguing. But to have an other factor of 100, you need to do something completely ridiculous.
Really, 4 orders of magnitude? 10000 times faster with GPUs than CPUs? I call bullshit. You might get a factor of 100 if you pick a SoA GPU and a shitty CPU. But comparing things of similar generation, you will not get a factor of 100 on modern hardware. So either they are not in base 10, or there is BS going on.
How do you negociate the net? The company can not know your tax rate. Your spouse salary, short term capital gain, or external consulting activities are not known by your employer. Therefore you can not negociate based on this.
Though I agree with you that you need to take into account insurance, and all deduction to make your decision, but you can not negociate based on that.
They matter on my desktop. They matter on the desktops of all these administrations over the world that deploy linux operating system. They matter in all the cloud infrastructure that rely on virtualization for load balancing. They matter in the data center that are moving toward SSD for I/O. They matter in 80% of the cell phones in the world that deploy the linux kernel.
Of course, P2P technologies were built to solve exactly the bandwidth issues. My guess is that we would have NO bandwidth problems if we were distributing content with P2P technologies. Which means ISP could open the pipe to 100% for all clients all the time.
My guess is that legality is the problem. And once you tell people that the content is distributed peer to peer, they might decide that the netflix recurring payment is not that useful anymore.
I aggree with this. The main problem is that H1B employees are fairly "trapped" in their job. That creates an artificial pool of employees that are likely not to leave the company which drives bargaining power down for the workers.
Also you could tie future H1B visa for a company to the number of retained H1B.
Who is Bruce Perens? And why should I care what he thinks about open hardware?
Bruce Perens created the definition of Open Source and spearheaded the Open Source Initiative.
He created BusyBox which is used on pretty much all embedded linux distribution and was Debian Project Leader at some point in the 90s. He also draft the Debian Social Contract.
In other words, he is kind of a prioneer in open source and spent quite a bit of time thinking through the implications of open sourcing. Therefore, I usually consider him having opinions worth listening too when he speaks about open/close source and licenses in general.
In no case he says that having open hardware is a bad thing. He is discussing how we should approach the problem to make the community most efficient and how licensing models for hardware can achieve the properties that we want in open hardware.
Except samsung is already pretty much on that market.
Samsung is a huge company that produces electronic, cellphone, dishwashers, but also airplanes, tanks, battleships,... So whatever they do in the self driving car domain will probably be repurposable in their military business.
Pretty much all devices can do everything. The question is really how good can one device be at one thing. Tablets are good for reading and that's pretty much it. I mostly use mine to read scientific article and annotate them. This is my killer usage of tablet. And I got the one with the most usable "pencil" in the market at the time. Samsung's note tablets were are the best at the time.
I haven't tried Apple's version. But MS shot at it with the surface pro was a pretty good shot at it I found.
I'd say that today, the best tablet with pencil is probably Microsoft's. Many usable "tablet style" software and once you plug their keyboard on it; it is also a reasonable replacement for a laptop.
I am not surprised they are gaining market shares. They made the laptop/tablet hybrid many people wanted.
Yeah, for 3 weeks a year transportation is terrible in Paris. In the rest of the country, there are far fewer issues. But you know it in advance so you plan for it. In regular operation, the network transports you reasonably fast and for relatively cheap.
There a bunch of things that sucks in France (administration opening hours and slugishness, the country being at a standstill on sundays and from July 15 to August 15); Public transportation is not one of them.
I do not really believe that self driving cars will significantly reduce my transportation time. But I expect them to reduce the number of traffic accident. In a traffic jam, drivers can frustrated and bump in each other. I highly doubt self driving car would do that. Also, I do not care as much being in a traffic jam if I am not the one driving the car. Finally, if the car drive itself, then I can take more long distance trips easily: push the buttons, go to sleep, wake up in a different state.
This is the real reason I loved riding public transportation so much when I was living in France. It might not be the fastest way of moving around. But it was definitely the way that was consuming the less of my attention time. Made me arrived at work after 30 minutes of playing the nintendo DS. Much better than after 20 minutes of dealing with traffic congestion.
Well, I have been playing M rated games since I was 9. And I grew up perfectly normal. For instance, last week I tried to stab a guy but I hit his belt buckle...
Don't worry soulskill, I appreciated it. I checked my familly and friends are safe. The French who read this article will certainly take it as me. Peace.
Except that there is basically nothing to develop. Everything pretty much already exist. -you can publish the actual papers on the arxiv and only reference to them; which is common practice in physics. -you an organize the reviews using easychair or whatever system you fancy; which we already do for most conference. -It means that you only need to maintain a front end page which list the current issues and the papers accepted in each issue; which is precisely what we are currently doing for conferences. A journal is like having a conference every month.
And if this is really to much to take. They can still contact IEEE to get them to publish the papers, which is still significantly cheaper than Elsevier.
Well, you can totally tag along the arxiv for the main storage and only have journals that refer to arxiv submission. That would get the storage cost virtually down to 0.
Actually, I pretty much enjoyed the Enterprise show. It is revises the history which might irritate fans. But overall I think it was a solid show. I found the Xindi arc good in the "survival/heroic" genre with lots of character development on the "what would I do to save my planet" theme.
Everybody being angry at vulcans was an interesting recuring plot line that was pretty well constructed.
The interaction between the MACO and the ship security officer was a bit overplayed but still enjoyable.
Though, as a foreign English speaker, I learned the verb "to coax" today. I can't believe after years in the US I learnt a verb in a slashdot headline.
Slashdot. Headline for nerds. verbs that could be used by somebody else.

Just a Debian user. But thanks Ian. That's a great thing you did with Debian!
So long. And thank you for the fish.
Someone should start a non profit... to manufacture and distribute stickers:
This item is not
a f*cking bomb
But then terrorist would get their hands on it. How will me make the difference then? THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

I think you are confused. Game of Thrones is the porn they were rencoding! :)

They use that label, pretending that they mean the literal reading but hoping you get confused and think of the technical one.
Thought to be fair, anyone that wants a quantum computer will certainly know that D-Wave's machine is not one upon reading its description.

gun control was never about protecting against terrorism. But against crazy people and accident. It did so pretty well.
Lol. Not sure you did it on purpose, but the airport that suffered the bug is "Orly" indeed! :)
They do. It is called Performance counters. Check V-Tune and PAPI.
