A GPU’s design creates an imbalance since it can compute much faster than it can access its main memory. An NVIDIA A100 GPU, for example, can perform 19.5 trillion 32-bit floating-point operations per second (TFLOPS), but its memory bandwidth is only about 1.5 terabytes per second (TB/s). In the time it takes to read a single 4-byte number, the GPU could have performed over 50 calculations.

The 2021 transition from President Donald Trump to President Joseph R. Biden was the most tumultuous and disorderly of any transfer of presidential power in the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. It was a transition that swung between opposites, with the incoming president presenting an experienced administrative team and a list of policy priorities well before his inauguration.
He promised to wipe out trans rights with sweeping orders when he takes office.
Donald Trump made sweeping promises at a far-right event this weekend to end trans rights in several areas, including education, health care, and military service.
Speaking at an event organized by Turning Point USA, Trump also promised to end transgender rights across the board on his first day in office, saying that it will be official policy that “there are only two genders, male and female.” He also said he would sign an executive order to “end child sexual mutilation.”
Today, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is designating a subordinate organization of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and a Moscow-based affiliate organization of the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) and its director pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13848, the U.S. election interference authority. As affiliates of the IRGC and GRU, these actors aimed to stoke socio-political tensions and influence the U.S. electorate during the 2024 U.S. election. Today’s actions build on sanctions previously imposed on the IRGC, the GRU, and their numerous subordinate and proxy organizations, pursuant to several authorities targeting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and malicious cyber-enabled activities.
I created this website in 2014 to host my personal collection of backing tracks for music practice, making them available for any musician to enjoy and help improve their playing. It has since grown to contain 160+ popular Bluegrass tunes as well as Old-Time, Gypsy Jazz and now 100+ Traditional Irish session tunes.
All of the tracks are built using samples from real musicians to sound and feel as authentic as possible.
Whether you play fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, flute, or accordion, there is no better way to learn than to play with other musicians.
The intention was always to keep this site free to use and free from ads. It has stayed online with help from the kind donations of those who find it useful and enjoy playing along with the many tracks.

Recently, YouTube has been ramping up its anti-adblock effort, and I’ve been watching this closely due to personal interest. This blog post is where I write down what I know. Some Background Here’s...
This "color wheel" arrangement is a compact and visual way to represent a whole range of colors. I was reminded of the named/web colors by a recent Hacker News comment thread [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33647207], and thought again of arranging them into a color wheel. So here it is: a color wheel, with only "web colors" on it. Each color is placed on the wheel, then grown to a polygon to fill the wheel with a Voronoi diagram. Hover colors to see their name (plus extra preview color swatch and hex code). Click one to "lock" it. The idea is when picking colors for a design, choose visually here from these few (139 distinct) colors, rather than trying to choose from the millions that are actually available. And you can refer to them by name in your CSS! The arrangement of the wheel has been tweaked from a pure HSV interpretation, to make sure all names have a distinct location.

The Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, people with print disabilities, and the general public. Our mission is to provide Universal Access to All Knowledge.
We began in 1996 by archiving the Internet itself, a medium that was just beginning to grow in use. Like newspapers, the content published on the web was ephemeral - but unlike newspapers, no one was saving it. Today we have 25+ years of web history accessible through the Wayback Machine and we work with 950+ library and other partners through our Archive-It program to identify important web pages.

Here in St. Louis, everybody always asks you where you went to high school. Why? People use it as a quick gauge to try to find out how you grew up. Rich kids went to fancy schools, poor kids went to substandard schools, etc.

All the stuff you wish you would have paid attention to in grade school. Who would have known that boring stuff could actually be put to use.
Music theory sometimes gets a bad rap.
Some people find it completely boring and others feel all the “rules” box you in creatively. Now, there might be some small levels of merit to those arguments but we’re here to share some good news.
Streaming-Dienste galten bisher als neue Antreiber des weltweiten Ausstoßes von CO2. Eine neue Studie im Auftrag des Umweltbundesamtes zeigt jedoch, dass die Auswirkungen aufs Klima geringer sind als befürchtet. <em>Von Christopher Jähnert.</em>
