The Ledger

Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.

clear all ✕

why aren't all 5 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Mars: Porting Sirius to GPUs and FPGAs yields 10x speedup
“We can get significant speedups when we port these algorithms To GPU, when we leverage GPUs and FPGAs to build future servers, and what that means is we can bring that scalability gap down, and so we can get about 10 X back if we move by taking these, ah, by t…”
