First question: because RAM. CPU has direct access to RAM of which I have plenty, GPU needs to get the data into the VRAM, which I have not so plenty (plus there's considerable overhead when moving data from RAM to VRAM)

As for the second question, the answer is "games that don't like linux"

24 CPU cores working for 35 hours to train a model, 1% left to completion, and accuracy and loss values look phenomenal. Windows update restarts the PC...

What do you mean if that would be ok (with me)? People can do whatever they like with their sites. I do.

In the greater scheme of things though it's very easy to draw a parallel between 1990's keywords meta tag and this, and we all know how... useful the keywords meta tag became, very fast

Allegedly intelligent systems that allegedly excel at summarization requiring a manually updated file that essentially says what a site is about feels as intuitive as a sign explaining that the provided toilet paper is not meant to be used for giftwrapping the toilet.

NONE: ONLINE-ADS>> Search engines are dying I'm beginning to believe that search engines are a dead-end technology and fretting over where your site comes up is a big waste of time. I'm now advising clients that we create good META tags, submit the site and then forget it.

SEO was claimed dead in 1997.

it's just software so I'm sure it's defined.

we purposefully don't define "significant", or so I think anyway. in my view, changing the actual content is significant, but iirc johnmu would also add schema and linking changes. however I'm pretty sure we both agree that changing the copyright date is not significant.

you're supposed to put all points in one tweet so I can say "yes".

O.M.G. PEOPLE! UPDATING THE COPYRIGHT YEAR IN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR PAGES IS NOT A SIGNIFICANT UPDATE, NO NEED TO UPDATE YOUR LASTMOD

it is not. or at least the cafés are closed which is basically closed office I reckon.

(there's some legal aspect to working on federal holidays, which Christmas is, so my definite answer is no, I'm not working on holidays)
