I think this is very telling of the RNC political apparatus. Trump has largely operated outside of the official Republican platform, you know the actual Republican committee chaired by Ronna McDaniel. Largely avoided debates and the other political machinations. And has dominated the party.

Which if Trump can do that outside of the RNC it absolutely begs the question, what the fuck does anyone need the actual governance of the GOP political party's official arm? And the answer seems to be from this, nothing at all. Which to me signals a massive erosion of power from the actual RNC.

If Trump leaves politics for whatever reason, the power vacuum thereafter is going to be absolutely mind numbing. There's zero strength left in the RNC itself.

The good news is, there isn't many of us. Boomers and Millennials are the two biggest groups.

But yeah I already hear BS like, back in my days we roam the streets blah blah blah from folks my age.

I find this insanely interesting. I hope someone does this for us Xers but I have a feeling that everyone will forget about us.

And with this, I’m also interested in the rate of change here. Are boomers dying faster, slower, steady rate?

I think they mean ID as store loyalty card and/or membership card. Not actual government issued ID.

Both are vendor specific implementations of processing on GPUs. This is in opposition to open standards like OpenCL, which a lot of the exascale big boys out there mostly use.

nVidia spent a lot of cash on "outreach" to get CUDA into a lot of various packages in R, python, and what not. That did a lot of displacement from OpenCL stuff. These libraries are what a lot of folks spin up on as most of the leg work is done for them in the library. With the exascale rigs, you literally have a team that does nothing but code very specific things on the machine in front of them, so yeah, they go with the thing that is the most portable, but doesn't exactly yield libraries for us mere mortals to use.

AMD has only recently had the cash to start paying folks to write libs for their stuff. So were starting to see it come to python libs and what not. Likely, once it becomes a fight of CUDA v ROCm, people will start heading back over to OpenCL. The "worth it" for vendor lock-in for CUDA and ROCm will diminish more and more over time. But as it stands, with CUDA you do get a good bit of "squeezing that extra bit of steam out of your GPU" by selling your soul to nVidia.

That last part also plays into the "why" of CUDA and ROCm. If you happen to NOT have a rig with 10,000 GPUs, then the difference between getting 98% of your GPU and 99.999% of your GPU means a lot to you. If you do have 10,000 GPUs, having like a 1% inefficiency is okay, you've got 10,000 GPUs the 1% loss is barely noticeable and not worth it to lose portability with OpenCL.

Data science term. Means everything runs inside the GPU entirely. No CPU or system RAM outside of the (usually Python) interface that started, monitors, and collects the result of the job.

ROCm is AMD’s solution to CUDA that covers for nVidia.

There’s no way this council can reflect its community

I get the point you're making in you first comment but this part in this comment really ignores that a community has lots of factors. Like all of the people on this council are under age 40 and the median age of the city is 32.5. The group represents five different faiths and is comprised of four different ethnicities.

Yes one of the dimensions of the community heptahedron shaped spectrum came up short. BUT this single edge of the polyhedra that comprises political science, a sole determining factor does not make.

I get your original point, one face of this is skewed off from normalization. And perhaps when folks say "all male blah blah blah are bad" they're generalizing too much because a lot of the problem is old, white, male, non-progressive, traditionalist, etc etc etc that gets summed up into the term of "all male…".

That over generalization is kind of why on your first comment, it's kind of a head nod and move on. But this second comment you're really hurting your first point there. That council might or might not properly reflect their community in enough facets of the political polyhedron, simply looking at one edge of it (sex) is, technically, not enough information to really draw a conclusion on that front.

Which is why, if you leave with anything from my comment, we should be cautious about running with the headline of a news story. Because the city council themself found it interesting that the public elected an all women group but were absolutely quick to point out more their alignment with their age to the population of the city. It's the news story and Karen Kedrowski, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University hyping the angle of their sex.

Also, at least that's my conclusion from the linked story. For all I know, the City Council's first order of business at their first closed door meeting might be to burn men in effigy, or it could be to restore the puppy no-kill shelter. All I know is life moves fast and that there's a lot more to a community than just the sex of the leaders of it.

They made such a big deal about how “he didn’t show up”.

It’s beyond me how none of them thought that he wouldn’t show up to show them up at the most inconvenient, for them, point in time.

Like you can tell, whoever is running that show is only thinking in five minute increments. And Hunter Biden, whoever is advising him, has next season already in mind.

I was actually shocked that this sort of stunt by Biden had not already been planned for. And that their Johnny on the Spot, fake it till we make it was basically a Jerry Springer episode.

They made such fools of themselves that day. That could not have gone better for the Democrats.

I'm pretty sure Mitch McConnell played a bigger role and would say so if he wasn't currently having a stroke.

In the past, she's displayed pornography. Are pornographic photos allowed to be displayed in this room?

It's not pornography.

— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14)

Oh okay well you're the expert.

— Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-8)

That part, I was done. I just couldn't seriously watch it any longer. That whole thing from start to that point was a complete shit show.

Well it’s because they want to trivialize impeachment.

The GOP are getting good at this whole making the worse case true. They’ll go on about how Government is horrible at making medical choices and then block every advancement of healthcare solutions and say “See! I told you we were bad at this!”

They went on and on about how Trump’s impeachment were politically motivated and so now they are demonstrating politically motivated impeachment as a “See! We told you impeachment were politically motivated!”

Everything they indicate that they bemoan about politics, they themselves bring into reality.

Why does it look like he’s giving an invisible man a blow job?

Just my opinion, but that sounds janky af.

Because it’s vastly different if the four to maintain quorum were Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett versus Roberts, Gorsuch, Thomas, and Barrett.

Basically you can stack justices to fit an outcome and that’s kind of what we don’t want.

PopOS. Mostly because I’m really interested in their Rust based DE that’s to replace Gnome.

In Massachusetts, Politico reported that the state GOP has racked up more than $400,000 in debts to vendors and had less than $70,000 in the bank.

I see a pattern.

In only a matter of a few months, the party is essentially non-functional and, worse yet, the party and others associated with the party are now facing potential civil and criminal consequences for breaking laws.

I really see a pattern!

Ultraconservative House Republicans have panned the $1.66 trillion agreement Mr. Johnson made with Senator Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat and majority leader, saying it is unacceptable.

I mean, yeah, that's what they usually do. The Freedom Caucus exists solely on the principals of contrarianism, they say "no" to everything. Did they convince enough of anyone else to join with them? No? Then it's just your average Tuesday.

It is not clear whether disgruntled right-wing Republicans will try to depose Mr. Johnson as they did his predecessor. But they have already signaled that the latitude some of them afforded him during his first weeks in the job is vanishing, and that their patience is wearing thin with his capitulations to Democrats.

Yes, this is why it was such a stupid idea to have a vote to oust the Speaker if a single person was unhappy. That's like the non-secret of the the Freedom Caucus, they're always unhappy.

Specifically Florida Statue 984.085.

A person who is not an authorized agent of the Department of Juvenile Justice or the Department of Children and Families may not knowingly shelter an unmarried minor for more than 24 hours without the consent of the minor’s parent or guardian or without notifying a law enforcement officer of the minor’s name and the fact that the minor is being provided shelter

Generally Overt Projection at it again.

The GPU featured an AGP interface (an ancient competitor to PCIe)

AAAHHH!! Right in my lower back! mumble, mumble get off my lawn.
