It's all about budgeting. They put in a line item for 2.7B acquisition, whereas you did not put in a line item for paper plates and spoons. Next time be more aggressive and the company picnic should be a little less messy.
I was wondering the same thing. UNIX more friendly than VMS? Huh? UNIX has some positive things going for it, but of all of the command line operating systems I've used, it's actually towards the bottom of user friendly-ness.
It's unlikely you'll have a collision considering it's a 256-bit hash
Probability and actuality are 2 different things. Just because the probability is low doesn't mean it won't happen with the first 2 blocks encountered. I don't see how this (using a hash) can work given that the results are not guaranteed.
The 9800 has more restrictive memory access and execution optimization over all the threads. Each new gen NVIDIA is improving in these areas which means more effective performance for many problems.
Just to clarify the "all integer" point: for my sim, depending on the types of values being tracked, somewhere from 8 to 24 bits are fractional (this is to avoid floating point purely due to some historical reasons on this code).
I have a simulation I ported to the GTX280, it's all integer. For my simulation, the biggest problem with using the GPU is memory access patterns, I need too much random read/write which doesn't fit real well with their processing model.
I don't think it's possible to look at a neural network and understand what's going on other than from the math perspective in that you know in general terms what a neural network does (function approximation).
Our computers are not powerful enough to simulate reality to the same level of detail that real devices operate on and even if they were the level of programming would be enormous.
It is far more efficient to use real devices, although simulations can be very useful also.
Not really. PC's took off in business quickly because there were substantial things that could be automated (calculating using spreadsheets for example or word processing).
With automating home stuff, what exactly am I saving? Flipping a light switch? There just isn't much to automate and what there is is hardly worth it.
If I copy something that an artist produced, it doesn't cost that artist either time or effort. The time and effort has already been spent, they have no way of getting it back.
The only possibility is that they might get payment in compensation for it. As long as anything I do does not affect their chance of getting this compensation, I see no possible way in which it can be immoral. Therefore, as long as I can be sure that I am not going to pay for a copy, I see no way that making my own copy is immoral.
If you believe otherwise, can you explain why?
If you are using the resource, then you value it to some degree. Period. You take a copy of someone's hard work because you don't want to pay the price offered.
So why should you be allowed to use the software without the author's permission? Because we live in a new age, and it is time for publishers of all sorts to adapt to that new age instead of clinging to the realities of a previous era.
So, we shouldn't pay for games or movies or songs or books? They should keep making them and we should get them for free, because this is the new reality?
Well here's a part of reality you may not realize: Without income, stuff won't get produced.
"Bottom line was, not much came of all this, beyond a few research grants and published papers."
I am constantly reading about successful applications of neural networks and svm's in medical, industrial control and financial applications. Why do you say not much came of it, are you referring to vision only?
I had my code up and running quickly. It takes a little more time to re-arrange the algorithm and data to get optimal efficiency and to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of the computing model, but still relatively easy for any competent C coder.

"How many roads must a man walk down?"
It was a joke.
A humorous article.
That's why things like having an outlet that looks like a smiley face gained that country points.
But that's why systems use ecc mem.

The courts just ruled in autodesk that regardless of the eula, it's a sale.

Connected rooms like, say, living room, dining room, kitchen can't really be heated separately. Bedrooms or separate floors maybe.
What about not keeping your entire house at the same temp all day and night when you're there or not.
My thermostat lets me enter a very detailed heating/cooling schedule already (time and temp, not specific rooms)

No doubt the House mainframe's replacement is the $900 Dual Xeon unit previously used as a front-end processor for the mainframe's 32-port serial mux!
I believe it was replaced with 20 servers.
Outside of normal page table protection, what does having extra address bits provide with regard to protecting hardware objects?
Capability based security at the hardware level.
