The forum features people running multiple GPU's using onboard graphics as a secondary GPU and improving performance drastically, yet a few cases where the onboard GPU really hurt the benchmark. Some other people are seeing modest improvement, others are doubling their scores with this multi-gpu feature.

Yeah... I'd take this benchmark with a grain of salt.

This is really refreshing work, and we can all benefit from other search engines focused on improving the field. I tried a bunch of searches and some of them were quite wonderful, others were a little dry on results. But overall I enjoyed going through it. Here is some critiques if you don't mind:

I did search for "Daria Bilodid" and the results were a bit troublesome. First the Wikipedia result did not work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daria_Bilodid vs https://encyclopedia.marginalia.nu/wiki/Daria_Bilodid

Secondly the results matched a few judoinside.com results which is ok, including sites to her competitors, but seemed to miss the judoinside website for her: https://www.judoinside.com/judoka/92660/Daria_Bilodid.

The design is hard on my eyes, I have a average size screen and its using less than half of the width. The line-height is enormous and seems to breakup flow making it uncomfortable for me to read. The spacing around each result is the same as between titles and paragraph items, which again was unpleasant to read.

I don't see a problem with having advertisers require to have references or sources to any quotes or facts they represent. The sources would have to be credible and shown in context (no sound bites) and perhaps view-able by the users easily. Facebook or a third-party should be required to make sure the sources look credible and all reported facts or quotes have sources attached. Such a system would put most of the leg work on the advertisers and make the process easier to administer.

I have no idea if Facebook already does any of this, but from their policy about fact checking, they do not require any political ads to go through their third party fact-check. Otherwise the third-party fact checker appears to do all the research themselves or they may reach out to the advertisers for more information.

It was also really unimpressive in my opinion, instead of being smarter and making broad decisions about tactics that are harnessed by some perfect unit composition knowledge, the AI won on a purely micro scale.

There are videos from several microbots such as Automaton 2000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKVFZ28ybQs that showcase what super APM can do. The DeepMind AI that beat some pro players did it by having better micro while generally having worse strategies. The DeepMind matches showed how better micro can turn a generally weaker unit composition into the winning unit composition just as that Automaton 2000 video did.

To me it seemed that the DeepMind team figured out that the only way to beat competent players was to do what all those microbots do and pump APM into godly levels. They decided to limit APM, however like you said, just average APM and have the bots explode APM when needed. The real funny match was when MaNa beat Deepmind by completely breaking the AI with generally simple drop strategies and made Deepmind look very much inept.

The costs of an NFL stadium are usually split between the city (tax payers), the NFL, and the owner. For instance AT&T arena for the dallas Cowboys was supposed to cost $650 million and the city Arlington provided $325, NFL provided $150 loan, and Jerry Jones (the Cowboys) paid the rest. It is speculated that the total cost was $1.3 billion which was mostly footed by Jerry Jones.

The Los Angeles Stadium (Ram) is now estimated to cost $4.9 billion when finished in 2020 and also house LA Chargers. The stadium is supposedly completely privately funded but significant tax breaks are expected. I suppose more concrete details will emerge when its finished.

The Las Vegas stadium (Raiders) is supposed to cost $1.9 billion with $750 million in tax payer money and $1.1 billion from Raiders themselves. It is also supposed to finish in 2020 and officially be owned by the Las Vegas Stadium Authority and shared with UNLV.

So each stadium has its own deals.

Cannot bundle a free meal with your job because it's abusing your position to stifle competition. I jest but I imagine it may be hard for some restaurants to open and offer lunch menu's in these areas.

If they want those taxes, they need to fix their tax laws. No company will freely donate their earnings.

It was really interesting to read that debugging was working in Linux, while MacOSX support was being worked on. Support for Windows was completely missing.

Delve is an open source debugger for go. And many editors can work with delve such as Visual Studio Code. There is an animated gif of the debugger on the vscode-go page. https://github.com/derekparker/delve https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go

Here in the US, we just bought a car and because they didn't have the model on lot anywhere, we just ordered through Toyota the exact model we wanted with all the features we wanted in preferred colors/finish. The dealership still got a cut but they helped us select the car are made the process very easy.
