Chords and arpeggios apply to typing as well, is how stenographers type so fast.


Don't so easily dismiss the opinions of others. For certain individuals it is indeed the hardest game they've ever played. I've cleared Steelsoul 100% in the OG Hollow Knight and would argue that Silksong is definitely the more difficult of the two.


Cut the crap, 'cause you don't actually care. It's blatantly obvious that you're either pulling off a weak troll or are willfully ignorant.

Is more approachable than one might think, as you can currently find two of these for less than 1,000 USD.


How much performance penalty is there for doubling up? What about 4x?


I just found out about these last week and haven't received the hardware yet, so I can't give you real numbers. That said, one can probably expect at least a 10-30% penalty when the cards need to communicate with one another. Other workloads that don't require constant communication between cards can actually expect a performance boost. Your mileage will vary.


This just isn't true... none of the available data backs up these claims. Go back 10, 20, even 30 years and the trend has only lowered. Crime peaked in the early nineties and even the COVID spike didn't come close to that peak. If you're going to make such outlandish claims, then you'd better have something other than feels backing you.


Yet it isn't even in the top 20 cities for murder, nor the top 50 for overall crime. The only reason so many are focusing specifically on Chicago is because their cult leader told them to.


Chicago is the 3rd largest city in the US and has the highest total number of murders in the US. Why does this not matter to you?


Total numbers are meaningless. Per capita is what counts. I'm certain you know this.


600 people were murdered in Chicago. Absolute numbers matter. How can you say that it doesn’t matter?


Also what year were 600 people murdered? Not last year and certainly not this year either.

22,830 people were like in the US as a whole. Terrifying! Why don't you care?


How many were murdered in the US? Certainly far more

I also didn't say it didn't matter.


I made no such claim, merely pointed out the absurdity of focusing so much on Chicago while completely ignoring other places like Dayton. How come you're flat out ignoring the TWENTY other cities with a higher murder rate? It's completely disingenuous of you to focus on total murders when one surely understands that total population ultimately drives that value.



10 years since commit and no attached documents besides a tiny readme. Pass.


This is still some code, as opposed to no code. It does seem to model everything in the research paper.

Aside from the original research paper needing to be included in the repo, it definitely does not need anything more than what's already there. It all builds and compiles without errors, only 2 warnings for the library proper and 6 warnings for the test project. Oh and it comes with a unit testing project: 59 tests written that covers about 73% of the library code. Only 2 tests failed.

Even having a unit testing library means it beats out like 50% of all repos you see on GitHub.


Blame Microsoft Research, as the link came directly from them: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/uncertainty.... I don't think they ever really took the project past the initial paper/presentation.


Sometimes things can just be "done", and the paper is pretty good documentation if the implementation is faithful to what is described there.



Unless you're supremely lucky, this kind of stuff is a hobby. One wishes that weren't the case, but capitalism is what it is...

I'd encourage you to generally ignore whether something has direct value or not because that's not how knowledge works. For example, I once spent well over a month implementing the NthWeekday function using nothing but basic arithmetic operations. This would allow us to calculate all federal holidays for a given year at runtime instead of precalculating the values and storing them in a table (which I hated, because it meant that someone had to maintain that table). This hyper-specific problem has near-zero direct value, but it was THE project that sparked my passion for maths.


Really? Someone depending on UB in their software represents the downfall of Microsoft?! What a hot take...


User has working software. User updates operating system. User has broken software.

That's a problem for the party trying to sell operating system updates.


The software was fundamentally broken before the OS update. It was working by pure random chance with undefined behaviour. It’s a C++ issue, not an OS issue. The same code compiled for another OS would have different random results.


While this is technically correct that doesn’t get the customer to put the blame where it belongs.


The problem is hostile pedants who neglect to consider the human element.


Not a C++ issue, but a sloppy developer issue.
