  • Datastructure for intervals across 64-bits or 128-bits??

    Jump

  • Great answer!!

    After thinking about all this for a while, I've gone with the basic binary tree (leaning towards AVL tree as I expect my use case to be read heavy).

    In my use case, multiple 'intervals' can merge together without major penalty (and should be merged together). It looks like a lot of these interval trees (including ph trees) are best when the intervals need to be kept separate.

    There is a part of my algorithm where ph trees might be useful though. I'll have to give it some though.

    I'm kind of shocked that a basic binary tree ended up being so usable. Its a classic for a reason, lol. I guess I saw the intervals and got confused and overcomplicated things....

  • Not: Gilgamesh is the oldest still surviving written story.

    There was writing older than Gilgamesh. There were cities and culture before 2000BCE. Its just so old that nothing at all survived beyond that time period.

    There's the Bronze Age Collapse, Burning of the Great Library, and many other events that destroyed history in the 1000BCE period. Those old people may have had older records than Gilgamesh, but all we have today is Gilgamesh if that makes any sense.

  • There’s an evil uncle and ghost dad visits

    Evil Uncle who becomes king. Former King becomes a Ghost Dad after Hamlet/Simba goes crazy on drugs. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern (Timone and Pumba) jump in and provide 4th wall breaking commentary and comedy.

    You seem to have missed quite a few references.

  • King Arthur isn't "one story" though. King Arthur is closer to 1100s-era fanart / fanfiction culture.

    EVERYONE was making King Arthur stories back then. And guess what? They contradicted. That's why we have Excalibur vs Sword in the Stone (sometimes they're the same sword. Sometimes they aren't. Its a big contradiction because there's no singular author).

    The Chinese Great Novel "Journey to the West" is truly one story by one author with multiple millennia of copycats. Meanwhile, King Author is basically a millennia of copycats without anyone knowing who the original was to begin with. Very different fundamentally.

    Even got the spirit of ancestors / ghost scene, kings, wrong princes, duels and lots of killing.

  • Datastructure for intervals across 64-bits or 128-bits??

    Jump

  • And typical RAM speeds are 100GB/second for CPUs and 500GB/second on GPUs, meaning 512MB operations are literally on the order of 5 miliseconds for CPU and 1ms on GPU.

    Below certain sizes, the 'billions of intervals' is larger than the damn Bitmask. Seriously, 8 bytes per interval (aka one pointer and 0 data) and that's 8GB for the data structure.

    Instead of a billion 32-bit intervals to store (4GB of RAM at the minimum) it's obviously a better move to store 500-million byte Bitmasks. And modern GPUs can crush that in parallel with like 3 lines of CUDA anyway.

  • Can anybody explain why CUDA and Rocm are necessary and why OpenCL isn't the solution?

    Jump

  • Because CUDA and ROCm/HIP are far easier to program.

    The Khronos competitor to CUDA/ROCm is SYCL not OpenCL.

    SYCL vs these other options is a fun theoretical problem, but only Intel seems to be pushing SYCL at all. OpenCL got stuck in OCL1.2 (the 2.0 release was dead. 3.0+ OpenCL ignores OCL2.0 but it's too late, OpenCL is seen as a dead end tech these days).

    The biggest issue is that OpenCL is a different language, while CUDA/HIP/SYCL are 'just' C++ extensions. This means that if you ever shared data between CPU and GPU in OpenCL (or DirectX or Vulkan for that matter), you have to carefully write and rewrite structs{} to line up between the two languages.

    Meanwhile, CUDA/HIP support passing structs, classes and more between CPU and GPU (subject to conditions of course. GPUs can't do function pointers or vtables for example, but cpu-only classes can have vtables)

    Trump Administration Investigates Rising Egg Prices: Report

    Jump

  • Note that frozen potatoes were found to be an illegal cartel just last year. Its quite possible that the egg suppliers are doing similar.

    The problem is that I don't trust Trump on this issue.

  • ‘This feels like a repeat’: Republicans try to get a handle on their town hall problem

  • Hitler relied upon the Reichstag fire to sieze power.

    The Nazis were the specific kind of political entity to judo-reverse protesters and "prove" to the public that it was the Communist opposition who were truly the enemy. As the German public demonized the Communists, the Fascists gained in power weeks after Hitler took power.

    The opposite is happening here: ever so slightly, public opinion is turning against Elon Musk (maybe not Trump yet, but DOGE is becoming a toxic word right now). A leftist "attack" in these times could consolidate the right much like the Reichstag fire did (or for a more American example: the two assassination attempts on Trump only allowed his side to grow stronger).

  • The prison camps will take years to build. The current plan is to send people to Guantanamo Bay, which literally doesn't have enough room to make a dent in our protests.

    The ideal is to wait long enough to convince the maximum number of dumbass MAGAts that they've been tricked by Trump. This number is smaller than people expect, but its not 0%. I'm already seeing some questions being posed in my Republican circles (ie: "Why isn't Trump more focused on these Federal cuts?") but not the right questions (ex: "Why is Trump so dumb??").

    So the current environment is to our political advantage. We need to move before things reach the concentration camp or authoritarian stages of course, but we have some degree of time to work with.

  • Lol. Trump and Vance just sucked Putins cock for the world to see last week, while cancelling US Farmers contracts to USAID and mass firing USDA during a bird flu pandemic destroying our egg supply.

    There is no final straw. This is what we got.

    I'm not saying we need to take action immediately. Letting this toxicity stew for a few months is to the Democrats advantage. But the vast, vast majority of conservatives are brainwashed peasants who will not change their opinion.

    GOPs explicit goal is to seek control of the majority of the majority of voters, which is only like 16% of people. (60% voters best case, 30% Republicans, only 16% of hardcore Republicans to keep in check). That's all they need to continue to stay in power.

    What we can do is try to split that 16% group explicitly and try to turn them against each other. Farmers who lose government contracts, hawks who don't want to work with Russia, etc. etc. it's all microscopic fractions of a fraction of people but it adds up.
