That was based on models of glacier behaviour, not climate models. Turns out, glaciers are more complicated than they thought. It doesn't speak to the accuracy of climate models.

YouTube is her job, you prattling idiot, at least when she's not doing TV. Are you upset that a woman is successful enough at her job to be able to buy a new car for the first time?

I don't know what you're going on about. Simone only drives electric vehicles. She has a tiny little electric Comuta car built in the 80s, but it's not very practical. What she really wanted is a reliable functional electric pickup truck that she can use for work. Since no such thing existed, she got some friends and colleagues together, and built one. It's not the kind of thing you can just buy off the street through a chance encounter.

Tensor processing still needs to be done to run applications after they've been trained. That can be done in CPU but that's orders of magnitude slower. So whether you need a dedicated TPU depends on the needs of the applications. For example, running the lc0 chess engine at a decent level (by computer chess standards) absolutely requires a GPU/TPU, as lc0 needs to analyse many thousands of positions a second.

You, I would hire. The summing approach is clever but it's also idiotic as it will only work for this one specific contrived problem. It can't be extended to more general cases, while a hash table approach can.

Seems hypocritical, considering the meat industry gave us terms like sweetbread and head cheese.

1) There seems to be a near-endless stream of serious vulnerabilities affecting the vast majority of CPUs.
2) Many of these are fundamental flaws, where best-effort patches can only mitigate, not fix.
3) If you are on a cloud server, there is no way to tell from within the virtual environment how vulnerable the system is, short of trying to find exploits yourself, which would be a felony.
4) We are years away from seeing CPUs that don't have these vulnerabilities coming into the market.
5) Hordes of companies are moving their IT onto these super-convenient cloud servers, turning a blind eye to the underlying security flaws. Because everyone else is doing it. Like lemmings.

Everyone knows Hatsune Miku created Minecraft. Notch even conceded the point.

I don't know about that. I don't watch anime, but I do watch thousands of Vocaloid music videos (PVs) on nicovideo, made by thousands of different (mostly amateur) producers. The one recurring theme and/or image that completely stands out above all else, is overhead power lines. It's nuts how often it comes up. And I'm not talking about isolated scenes in videos full of different images, I'm talking about videos where there is only one image for the duration, and it's of power lines.

Seems like a bit of a national obsession to me.

Meh. Seems like a stupid message to me. You don't need to pay people to be racist, hateful, anti-Semitic, or cruel insensitive garbage. There is no shortage of so-called humans that do it for free, 24-7.

After 9/11, US intelligence agencies, led by the NSA, embarked on a massive world-wide surveillance program, monitoring voice, text, email, web, IM, and even video game chat, for signs of terrorist plots. How many billions of dollars did this cost? It seems like they had a blank check.

Given that 9/11 involved smashing commercial jets into buildings, wouldn't you expect that JOB FUCKING ONE on their list of things to monitor would have been the location and status of commercial jets that could be used to attack American targets. And given that the US has military, diplomatic, and commercial interests around the globe, that pretty much means worldwide. It just seems to me THAT would have been top priority, and failure would not have been an option. Monitoring WHERE THE FUCKING KILLER JETS ARE would be top of the list, ahead of thing like monitoring text messages between two 12-year-olds in France or whatever other sleazy shit the NSA/CIA get up to.

So I think that people already know damn well where these planes are. They just don't want us to know that they have the ability know, because that's how intelligence agencies think.

Maybe they can figure out a way of making them from used Keurig K-cups.

Because the more people who have guns, the greater the risk of somebody getting shot. If somebody has a gun and they happen to be enraged and/or intoxicated and/or mentally ill and/or stupid and careless, then there is a chance they could shoot an innocent person.

In Canada, I have to worry about getting shot by criminals. When I travel to the US, I have to worry about getting shot by EVERYBODY.

Akatsuki carries 68 fan-made images of Japanese crowdsourced digital pop star Hatsune Miku, etched onto three aluminium plates. I suppose this makes Miku the solar system's first interplanetary celebrity. (Also last year, a Miku music video was beamed into deep space by the European Space Agency as part of its "Wake up, Rosetta!" campaign).

I believe the only other pop music purposefully represented in deep space, is the Chuck Berry song Johnny B. Goode, which is on NASA's Golden Records carried by the two Voyager probes.

Germany offered to do this for you as far back as 1941, but you Yanks objected for some reason :-P
