Yes. While I don't know what they do internally, API remoting has been used for GPUs since at least rCUDA - that's over 10 years ago.

LD_PRELOAD trick allows you to intercept and virtualize calls to the CUDA runtime.

No offense, but your solution reads like a typical idea that Sillicon Valley startup could come up with, i.e., throwing technology at a wrong problem, ignoring human factor and applying monetization where it doesn't belong. It reminds me of this founder who wanted to replace hiring processes with people putting money on the person staying in the firm long enough.

Not all science is based on experiments. Furthermore, science is not usually done in two simple steps: creating a theory and validating it. In practice, it's a cycle of refirenement that often requires dozens of iterations and involves discovering new phenomena.

In your model, who decides if the 3rd party has invalidated the claim or simply conducted the experiment incorrectly? Everyone involved has a financial motivation, so there's no independent side to resolve this issue.

I don't know this particular interview, but it's not necessarily about not liking Lex. I listened to many episodes of his podcast and while I appreciate the selection of guests from the CS domain, many of these interviews aren't very good. They are not completely terrible but they should have been so much better: Lex had so many passionate, educated, experienced and gifted guests, yet his ability to ask interesting and focused questions is not on the same level.

We don't really have suburbs like the one in the US. Having a perfect lawn that requires constant watering and meticulous care is not common.

Great advice for any PhD student or researcher!

Do you have any other valuable advice? How about just give up and quit your job? It would have the same effect.

I travel on a B1/B2 visa for conferences. When asked for the purpose of my visit, a common follow-up question is if I am going to receive any remuneration for my talk.

It's a tricky question since sometimes speakers receive a reimbursement for travel costs. I imagine that answering "yes" might cause you a lot of headache.

This problem of late announcements also applies to travelers that don't need visa. Recently, a major CS conference announced accepted papers two months before the conference date. Since it was a large federated conference located in a tourist destination in Florida, in the middle of the season, traveling from Europe was particularly expensive when buying tickets on a short notice.

And there's the additional downside that it was too late to apply to workshops and posters at co-located conferences. Many major conferences take place in the US, which means that traveling just for a workshop paper might not be feasible for researchers based outside of the US due to university policies and budget constraints. Thus, it's a good opportunity to participate and publish additional results while you are already there.

The last mile argument is often ignored, but it's very important in this discussion. What's the point of traveling fast by a train, unless you're going exactly to the downtown? Without a reliable public transport, it might be more efficient to travel by car since you won't have to rent one or Uber everywhere.

Catholics teaching includes the existence of a unique soul in each human - this obviously cannot be a product of evolution.

I wouldn't use "believe" in the context. Catholic church does not specifically endorse evolution, but it finds no conflict between scientific concept of evolution and its teachings. I would call it "acceptance".

Many small Pentecostal and evangelical churches gain a lot of media attention thanks to their conservatism, fundamentalism and obscure views. Fortunately, they do not constitute the majority of Christians worldwide (at least not yet).

That sounds strange, Catholic church and schools never had problems with evolution and enforcing literal creationism. It's a issue predominantly common among some of the Protestant denominations in the US.

While attending school in Poland, I met only two people my age who believed evolution was a hoax and could be considered to be young Earth creationists. One of them was a Jehovah Witness, and the other was a member of an American-style Pentecostal and evangelical church.

For someone who constantly applies bothsideism in the discussion of the Ukraine war and uses "Putin's regime" and "Zelensky's regime" in the same sentence (you can find an example in a very recent interview), I'd say he's not doing a good job of being a US government shill.

(Yes, I know that the original meaning of the word regime does not necessarily imply dictature, his intensions there were very clear and open - there are both sides and they are somehow comparable).

No, it's a different issue. I did my BSc in Poland, then MSc in Germany and now finishing PhD in Switzerland. There is a huge difference in the quality of teaching caused by decades of bad practices, lack of respect towards students, conservative mindset of faculty that prevents modernization effort, and lack of motivation caused by high teaching load and poor compensation. On top of that, you get the negative selection in Polish academia that results in filling positions with mediocre and passive researchers.

Our students are not less independent or less inteligent than Germans and Swiss. It's our faculty and teaching staff that is often neither able nor willing to implement good teaching practices.

Soldiers do not go into action with their phones. That's OPSEC 101.

That's why we see so many smartphone recordings made by civilians, but not by the military.
