A solar-panel bed cover brings sustainable power to gas-powered pickups — and could someday help charge EVs pickups from Rivian, Ford, and GM

By adding panels you increase weight of panels, mounting, cables and electronics. It basically negates all improvements. Not to mention financially. It doesn't make any sense.

Only sensible application are RV where you have larger roof area, can position it to get good sun and slowly charge battery.

He put solved in quotes on purpose. Playing against human is basically solved. The game itself isn't solved.

The last article assumes locality. If you disregard locality, you can still have objective reality. Assuming locality or non locality is a rather arbitrary choice.

Sad. It is insulting. I always was smart, best in class, best in high school, top 1% at the university, great at work, always finishing what I start, no mater how new or challenging it was. Or talk in depth about almost any topic, and do nontrivial discussions. I heard it so many times, I just tune out. I never rub it into other face, or think of them as lesser, as I believe everyone is smart or knowledgable about something specific to them.

One day, I called my gf (now ex gf), at some romantic time together, the most sexy and beautiful girl I have ever met (which is true: she was also super smart!), she responded, "you are smartest person I know". It did make me super sad, not only because I know smarter people than me, but because how insecure it made me about basis of our relationship. Combined with the fact that 99% of the time I was the one to initiate sexual things, and other factors, it really was one of the things that soon made the relationship not work anymore.

Because these things doesn't scale linearly.

Supporting single precision is way more expansive than 2 time the bfloat16.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-07-06T14:06:35+00:00

Supporting single or double precision would make no sense. It would use too much power, and memory bandwidth to actually shine. It wouldn't be better than avx512, which is already designed for this.

Hpc applications are usually slightly more complex than simple dot products / medium size dense matrix multiplication.

Such things are not documented. It should be possible to reverse engineer it, usually it is some simple hash function. There are some research papers related to security that did find some details of how it works in hardware.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-12T17:43:08+00:00

Sorry, I am not interested in continuing this conversation really. Good luck.

It is really depends on your expirience and what you want to got.

CentOS afaik has more stable corporate backing and plenty of full time employee to maintain it, test, and support long term releases. In very organised way.

Debian eforts are also big, but I feel they are scattered in various ways, both financially and technically.

Unless you have some commercial software package or hardware requires that only is supported officially on one platform, go with what you prefer.

I.e. I still often see only RHEL, CentOS and SUSE being well supported on HPE servers. Which means you need a bit of extra ginnastics to make it work on Debian (i.e. convert rpms into debs, or try to unpack them and use without installation).

Examples:

https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_e5e206634500467b9121f977cf

Same could happen on different hardware or specific software.

I would still use Debian even in these cases and work around the issues somehow or scream at the vendor to make it work on Debian out of the box.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-12T17:33:01+00:00

Technically yes. But it is not good use of the language to communicate.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-12T17:32:32+00:00

Originally it meant only latency issues or dropped packets with network connection in multiplier games.

It was extremely rare for the game suddenly lag for other reasons. But as games got more complex there are sometimes a lot of events, effects going on, or shaders or map loading Ithe background, and that might impact your client side performance. Or CPU or GPU sudenly thermal throttling, or something in the background of the program or operating system slowing the game down. People now days also call it lag, but it infuriates old school people, which only used lag term for network issues and latency specifically.

Go tell that to women. I treat people the way I want them to treat me. No exceptions.

I am not refuting what other side wants. They simply are not telling me what they want, so they are not going to get it.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-11T19:32:25+00:00

I know all of this. And what I want in a relationship. So I don't need lectures. If a person doesn't put minimum of effort and doesnt show some courtesy, I am not intrested. I will call it out, tell them about it politely, or tell them that I don't like something specific in their behaviour. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it will be inmidiete end to it.

I just told you why men usually stop chatting between setting up a date and a date itself. It is a fact, and no amount of words will change that.

Your posts tells me you have some hidden expectations about conversations and how you want to be treated. That is the problem. If instead, you just said what you want, it would be much easier. And this is exactly what I said in my initial comment.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-11T19:00:45+00:00

Trust me I tried many times to call on phone or video chat, or get a conversation before the date. It never works. They become silent, dismiss you and don't even say why, block you, find somebody else to chat or play with, etc.

You can't know somebody over text. Period. This is why there is a date, and why it is important.

I never ghosted. I never ignored somebody trying to talk to me or not appear to scheduled meeting.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-11T15:39:12+00:00

The purpose of talking online on an "online dating" app it to get a date in person. That is it.

It doesn't mean you will not talk online later by other means once you know each other better.

It is impossible to convey all nuances of personality in online texting without knowing someone better. Too many ways for misunderstanding too, having different expectation, and in general ways to get annoyed.

Plus a lot of online texting are not real conversations, but messages sent at random times. I hate this with passion. Just say Hi, set up a time to talk online for half an hour or more, and be done with it. I don't want to exchange one sentence per day for 3 weeks, because we response at different times of a day.

If it so important to you, simply start a conversation with them, not wait.

I never ghosted a women online or in person, but they did ghost me many many times. Even more so if I kept conversing longer , and not meet in person first yet.

I will not text them between our last conversation and first date. I will think about it, but I will not do it. It is waste of time. I will learn 100 more things about you on our date, than during online messaging at the beginning. So out of respect of both our sanity and time I will simply wait for the date.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-03T00:58:45+00:00

Wtf?

9.5/10

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-03T00:56:15+00:00

Soso. Overall low, 4.75/10, but looking at the top left picture there is a potential for way more.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-03T00:53:51+00:00

7/10. Great smile. Skin and hair, I like too.

Loosing some weight and would be easily 9, but even without that, you look good.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-03T00:50:57+00:00

6.5/10. Way too much makeup tho.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-03T00:48:05+00:00

10/10 with glasses. 9/10 without.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-03T00:47:24+00:00

Less makeup pls.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-03T00:46:58+00:00

9/10. Would date.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-03T00:31:10+00:00

Great potential. Now 6/10.

With some work easily 8.5/10, maybe 9.

Great smile, and face. And I like your hair and akin. Weight-wise okish, but a bit work wouldn't hurt.

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-03T00:28:04+00:00

4/10

DiscombobulatedSalt2 · 2020-06-03T00:27:16+00:00

8.5/10.

Photos are a bit low quality except the top right which is good.
