>"Deep neural networks (DNN) are a powerful form of artificial intelligence that can outperform humans at some tasks. DNN training is typically a series of matrix multiplication operations, an ideal workload for graphics processing units (GPUs), which cost about three times more than general purpose central processing units (CPUs).

"The whole industry is fixated on one kind of improvement—faster matrix multiplications," Shrivastava said. "Everyone is looking at specialized hardware and architectures to push matrix multiplication. People are now even talking about having specialized hardware-software stacks for specific kinds of deep learning. Instead of taking an expensive algorithm and throwing the whole world of system optimization at it, I'm saying, 'Let's revisit the algorithm.'"

Shrivastava's lab did that in 2019,

recasting DNN training as a search problem that could be solved with hash tables.

Their "sub-linear deep learning engine" (SLIDE) is specifically designed to run on commodity CPUs, and Shrivastava and collaborators from Intel showed it could outperform GPU-based training when they unveiled it at MLSys 2020."

Then you're willfully engaging in disinformation and dishonesty. If we can't agree to call things what they are, how can we hope to have any sort of discussion?

You have to know that "BLM riots" imparts to those around you a far different message than "riots that broke out at BLM protests". And in an age where folks don't look into things for themselves and rely on trusting others, someone other than me is likely to assume you mean that "BLM was rioting". That's why wording / word choice are so important.

I think the media _did_ call out the violence though, in fact I would say they focused more on that than they did the actual BLM protests (a majority were boring affairs, just folks marching and speaking). The media is more than willing to try and maintain the status quo by focusing on anything but the actual protests, and they do so by focusing on the violence more than anything else. I'm not sure how you came to the exact opposite conclusion.

I feel like they do this to any cause, not just BLM. Doesn't matter if it's a left leaning issue, a right leaning issue, or an issue supported by the majority of Americans. They portray it in whatever way maintains the status quo.
A declarative programming language should indeed allow you to think mostly about the result you want and not much about the how, but I'd say GP's comment is more about the design phase. The actual implementation could still be highly imperative.
> The part where they can pair the phone via bluetooth made me want to vomit.

I had the same reaction. I just recently had a lot of trouble pairing Airpods to Macbook (both no more than 2 years old). If Apple can't make it work between their own devices, it's doomed. A piece of shit technology, a black stain on the whole stack.

The demo is impressive otherwise, and I don't think it's weird to control a device with your mind. Or, if weird, it's the interesting kind of weird.

I'd like to see a multi-modal GPT successor that learns not just text, image and video but also neural brain signals. It's one modality we haven't touched on yet. Maybe it will be able to extract speech directly from the brain, which is orders of magnitude harder than controlling a joystick.
Does anyone still use Midnight commander? (mc from the command line). I think its falling out of favor, but I think a lot of people don't know about it.

Its a clone or the old Norton Commander which uses a termnal (curses based software) to create a kind of file browsing /copying/ moving tool. I like it because I know it, and its easy to browse through directories and veiw the files using a keyboard.

A breif guide with some screenshots:

remember seeing this buried in some ifdefs somewhere or in compile output back in the day.. to me finding the origins this is almost or more interesting than the longopt story itself :)
GUIs have a nice ramp-up and a fixed ceiling, whereas command lines require you to climb a brick wall (the part where you learn enough commands to make it worthwhile, pretty much by rote) but, as long as they're scriptable, the ceiling is close to unlimited.

(TUIs are, or can be, GUIs with box drawing characters instead of pixel displays. They're not necessarily any more scriptable or any less discoverable; however, a TUI on top of a command line, like Norton Commander or Midnight Commander, can be a real winner of a design paradigm.)
Wow - Why is this not the number one article in HN?

WHY!!!????

I've have similar issues when switching back and forth to an external monitor. After switching though I just quit and restart f.lux and it looks fine again.
I have tried different chairs and postures without success. I teach yoga classes a few times a week and I see a lot of people (age 40+) showing similar symptoms: numb legs and arms, lower back pain.
I believe an additional problem is that if you sit the whole day the muscles at the front side of your body get too short and the back side too long. So when you finally exercise this imbalance may cause even more problems.
[I agree.] The problem is see is that there's a long tail of reasons why we will still need files, at least for the next few years. By providing an acceptable solution to "the file problem", users might more easily break free of a Windows desktop-centric world. Instead, there will be a handful of use cases holding each potential ChromeOS adoptor back, but the the total number of reasons will be unfathomably large.

By the same logic, shouldn't Google be abandoning "cloud printing"? Isn't printing stuff out so 1990's?
NASA cost 4.4% of Fed Budget in 1966, that's a LOT of roads.

In 2008 it's 0.6% of Fed Budget which is still a lot of roads. But more importantly: The NASA budget is larger than the National Science Foundation budget,[2] but only 61% of the National Institutes of Health budget. NASA does some interesting science but the focus is clearly on keeping the public entertained and not say lowering the cost to orbit which would be of great value.
Would we have been back to Oregon, though, if it turned out not to be a lush temperate land of conifer forests, rivers and flat arable soil, but a blazing hot/freezing cold dangerously-irradiated vacuum composed of a mix of rocks and much smaller rocks?
On debian/ubuntu you can detect modified packages with `debsums` - but the signatures seem to be MD5, for which it's possible to generate collisions with e.g. something like http://www.bishopfox.com/resources/tools/other-free-tools/md... .

Set up a Linux computer (Ubuntu Linux is the easiest to set up), and spend the summer learning to program in Python.

Here are some of the best online Python tutorials, including a link to videos and course material for MIT's introductory computer science course, which uses Python: http://www.quora.com/How-can-I-learn-to-program-in-Python/an...

Build something that you want to use so it will be meaningful to you. Do you have a blog? That's usually a good first exercise. It's easy to do using Flask -- follow the tutorial (http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/).

Here are some tips to get you started:

Use Emacs as the text editor to write your code -- it usually comes pre-installed on Ubuntu, and it has a Python mode. Here are some Emacs tutorials (there are some good videos on YouTube too):

http://philip.greenspun.com/teaching/manuals/usermanual/emac...
http://www2.lib.uchicago.edu/keith/tcl-course/emacs-tutorial...
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/
http://cmgm.stanford.edu/classes/unix/emacs.html

Use PostgreSQL as your database. To install it on Ubuntu, use this command:

$ sudo apt-get install postgresql

Use SQLAlchemy (http://www.sqlalchemy.org/) to connect your Python website to PostgreSQL.

Here's a good SQL tutorial: http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/

When you build a blog, you don't have to worry about building a public authentication and comment system if you use something like Disqus (http://disqus.com/) -- you just include the Disqus JavaScript tag at the bottom of the blog's entry page.

Here are some good JavaScript tutorials: http://www.quora.com/What-are-good-books-preferably-found-on...

Use StackOverflow to ask programming questions: http://stackoverflow.com/
Let's get ready to rumble!
I wish the title wasn't so much about "Stop doing ___" but the contents of the article are good for people to be aware of.

These are little details of how systems work that are just brushed over too often but are important to get right.
True, my mistake ... I've done a python class at school and consider myself a beginner, so I never noticed the split. What book would you recommend instead?
I find it odd someone would just denounce others achievements.

Out of curiosity have you done better than this, or are you speaking purely from where you want to be? If anything this is a great point to build off of for them.
Fundamentally, there's an incompatibility between living in a country that normally has complete freedom of movement between states and a system that also essentially requires you to be a resident of a specific state for reason of things like driver's licenses and state income taxes (although if you split your time in multiple locations you may actually be required to file in multiple locations anyway). It can be done legally but, as I commented up-thread, a number of states are starting to look harder at people who spend a lot of time in their state but are paying all their income taxes elsewhere. You can't just say you live in Nevada because you have a PO Box there.
They are incredibly valuable to myself a lots of students I know.

He never claimed to be savior of education - he is doing the same thing the other youtube guy you linked to - just at a bigger scale.
They also picked very short booster dose times (3 or 4 weeks) to get study results quicker.

Usually you have a longer pause, which gives somewhat better results.

Now those numbers are treated as sacred by so many.
Serious question, what are the actual downsides of this, if any? Or is the backlash due to the "private equity" being associated with evil? Doesn't seem like anything is actually changing other than who issues .org?
I wouldn't call it mythical. A government red team completely owned our power grid quite a while ago as a test.
A couple additional things:

This feels unreal! How is this even happening? Domains are more like the airwaves than a commercial product. How can they do this??

Yep, that'd be the 87 years from 1776 (Declaration of Independence) to 1863 when the speech was given.
Releasing CO2 and NOx.
Lots of distros are in .org aren't they? I see Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora, Centos, OpenSuse, Raspbian, Damn Small Linux, Linux From Scratch, NixOS, Guix, OpenWRT, PfSense, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, OpenSolaris, Illumos, and probably lots, lots more.

GNU is also on .org.

Also languages, at least Python, Ruby, Haskell, Rust, Go, Clojure, Racket, Zsh, etc.

.org seems to be the go-to TLD for open source projects.
I am also unsure how buildx works, however I do know that the official docker build-and-push action is not compatible with podman (despite the podman-docker pkg), solely because it uses buildx. As well, compared to buildah builds, building with buildx is much faster--at least with default flags for buildah-build-and-push vs docker-build-and-push. I can say that buildx has an additional cache that must be cleared overtime, which might be related to the build speed difference.

It seems apprent that climate disaster is inevitable. Might as well experience coastal life before flooding makes the central/inner state areas the "new coast" haha
Yes I've noticed!
Another collision is "magnetic tape", one being adhesive and the other storing data. They indicate the former but the photo is of the latter.
I don't know precisely what countries you're indicating, but I've driven in the UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, and Poland, all in the past five years. Some of the country roads had what seemed to be fairly low speed limits (e.g., 80 km/h), but freeways are much higher in general - usually 120-130 km/h.
This is the way. I don’t know about pop culture toys, but I’m a caretaker of items that will outlast me. Preserving them is my responsibility. Cashing them in is only a last, last resort, and when you think about value appreciation over generations, it changes how you think about items - they can be relatively inflation proof items, a way to store wealth, maybe not grow wealth unless your time horizon is at least measured in decades. But I definitely think of my ownership as temporary.
Of all the docks I tried the TS3 was the only one to work reliably with m1 mbp in clamshell. I hope the TS4 follows suit.
What if I have OCD and don't want to take drugs?
The news story correlates school attendance with cancer diagnosis. Most schools draw students from specific neighborhoods nearby. Everyone focuses on the school itself. I want to know if the "pollutant" could have come from the neighborhood instead. The article doesn't mention anything about teachers being affected. Teachers are likely to live in different areas than the student.
The reddit FIRE subreddit has been surprisingly calm. But I also expect the people really panicking aren't posting.

I'm a multidisciplinary designer with about a decade of experience. Before freelancing, I led creative and product design at a few different startups. I've designed custom ecommerce platforms, sales/analytics dashboards, a CRM, a shoppable chat app, a WYSIWYG site builder, countless marketing and business websites, and plenty more.

I like building robust design systems to solve complex problems simply and efficiently.
> I genuinely wonder how they get by

Generally speaking, they don't. The teacher profession is treated as a hobby. Like they prefer to go to the School and teach rather than sitting a whole day at home (unemployment is the Big problem here, outside IT field). So you better have some other member of the family doing some other work.

People in such conditions (quite many), just buy less goodies. They don't have ipads/iphones, new cars or similar...
Claims of this sort have been made about every communications technology in history. The postal service allows young women to communicate with unsuitable men un-chaperoned. The transistor radio is bringing a tide of filth into the bedrooms of young people. Video games cause violence and impair social skills. In every case, those claims were accompanied by plenty of tragic anecdotes but little evidence; In every case, they were eventually found to be largely baseless.

Without any evidence, it seems perfectly reasonable to categorise this claim with the others. If this psychotherapist has concerns, then the appropriate place to raise them is in a scientific journal, not a national newspaper. Doing so is the only way to constructively address the issue, by providing other mental health practitioners with useful case studies and making a case for a systematic investigation. I have found no such publication, but I have found other articles making the same claim in the same newspaper, dating back over two years:

That's got to be the summit of conceit, to say an E class is not a luxury vehicle!

Wonder what you'd think of my golf :)
@ggordan : is it using etherpad api for backend ?
Looks like, similarly to the Google car, this is also heavily dependent on detailed maps of roads. The advanced radar-based sensors are pretty slick, but I'm curious about their limitations in terms of the size of the objects they can detect, and how far away.

My car uses some similar technology for automatic cruise control and crash avoidance, but either the hardware or software is primitive, since it occasionally tries to protect me from rear-ending a car in the other lane.
Good points. I think a lot of people in northern climates are familiar with block warmers and the notion of plugging you car in over night. In the 90's I drove a Chevy Love diesel mini truck (I think it was a rebranded VW pickup, not sure on that point Edit correction, it was an Isuzu), it rarely had trouble starting in the winter, if you used the glow plug button.

Now that gas prices have dropped in the US, I think alternatives to gasoline have simply become less attractive. When gas was near $4 a gallon a lot of people where disparate for alternative. Now that it's around $2 a gallon, not so much.
I don't understand why anyone cares about Netflix 4K. Their regular HD video bitrate maxes out at 3.9Kbps, apparently.[1] Their "Super HD" takes you up to 6mpbs. OTA television signals are at 18mbps.[2] And Blu-Ray can go up to 40mbps.[3] Increasing the number of pixels without increasing the bitrate doesn't really fit any more actual picture info into the stream.

I thought Laravel was dead. Well looks like some people still like to use these slow and bloated frameworks. I cant say i miss the PHP ecosystem of bloat.
I wish more Canadians were aware of this.

It's easily the worst trade agreement we've signed in generations. Harper _really_ screwed us over.
Fair enough, Mozilla desperately needs to develop alternative income streams, their dependence on their biggest competitor seems to be an existential risk
Funny you should say that, I just read a comment on HN claiming the opposite. Let me search for it and then edit this comment with the link...
Doesn't matter if its direct or another proxy war, its still war.
in indian culture, one shaves the head when one is mourning, lost their dear ones (parents).

also, there is the practice of tonsuring one's head to offer the hair to the gods (as a sign of humility)

and, historically, losers have their heads tonsured to show their weakness, also a punishment for petty theft, like stealing cattle, etc
Congratulations! Your story is very inspiring.
What makes GCP's Kubernetes offering better than the competition?
I've definitely watched over 20 hours of their content. It's very well produced, very approachable and easy to understand. I'm pleasantly surprised at how good of a resource their videos are. I had lower expectations with them being part of the federal government.
Probably just means they will pay it to those that leave and not retain the amount afterwards because its unsustainable.
Only 1%? At least one per million, if not per billion (depending on how you count the denominator).
I expect that once Ethereum completes the switch to PoS, this issue is going to loom large for Bitcoin.
The locked up energy used for mining was never available to populated area's in the first place, it is exces energy.
It's a bit like if you compare taking a shower in the middle of the desert with standing under a water fall and telling someone not to waste water while standing there because you consume as much water as 10000 people.
No other systems I know of are deliberately designed to continuously become less efficient.

That's why Bitcoin/PoW is in a different category to me: It's a Red Queen's Race where all the miners are incentivized to keep wasting more and more energy (for no greater benefit) or else risk that somebody else can execute a 51% attack.

Imagine if your email host needed to keep burning more and more energy, not to send any more emails, but because if they ever backed off, somebody else could steal your email address from you.
I am not sure you meant to answer to my comment, because I didn't mention feeling uncomfortable, and didn't take any guess about anyone's nationality. Also I'm not American, I edited my comment to clear that up.
Even less if you look at NANO and IOTA.
OP here, thanks for your suggestion! I considered doing exactly that: automatic archiving. The problem I see is that I want archiving to also "clean up" (that is, delete) the daily notes that it has consolidated and I worry about performing destructive actions such as deletes on an automated basis. For this reason, I chose to leave it in the users hands. I also worried about the possibility (albeit unlikely) for a race condition where a file you are manually opening is deleted out from under you. I'd love to hear any thoughts you might have though in light of these concerns. I'm definitely open to adapting the tool. Appreciate your feedback!
Those were the terms we used at an investment bank but I imagine different institutions use different classifications.
Nope, I missed that part if it was in the Gumroad post.
> People using WhatsApp are holding a cellphone

Have you actually used cellphones? They're extremely expensive to actually communicate with, especially in the countries where WhatsApp is near ubiquitous (and we're talking within country, let's not even get into how horrendously expensive communicating with people internationally can be via regular cell service).

I really don't understand why so many people on HN are this adamant about trivialising the value that apps like Whatsapp provide.
It would be an example if the parent advocated for breakage. But the historical breakage is vast already. It's still ongoing. Parent is just pointing out that it's going to be a good time for glaziers.
Clearly you haven't looked at it. The MAGA riot had people with guns, pipe bombs, and wrist ties. It was not a party. It was an attempted insurrection against a lawfully elected government while the military was ordered to stand down and stay away while it happened.
The one which has really caught my attention recently is Tempus Imperium, the setup is based on the date and time, which is really interesting.
Elsevier have a lot of businesses and services outside of journal publishing that they no doubt sink a lot of money into. I'm guessing they also see the writing on the wall for their old business model and are funneling a lot of cash into trying to find new, more future proof, revenue streams
