I'm curious what you feel Intel should do then?

Intel's deep pockets have got to be starting to feel lighter at this point - and they're looking at many more years of sinking money into a black hole before being able to produce useful things. (during which time AMD will be leapfrogging to newer fab processes as they become available)

We're already starting to see OEM's use AMD cpu's like we haven't in nearly 2 decades. The server and datacenter markets are coming around to AMD and it's Threadrippers as well. Eventually Intel's sweetheart OEM deals will expire, and who knows if they'll be renegotiated or ditched completely? That will be exceptionally painful for Intel... as those OEM deals are largely what Intel has been coasting on for all this time.

I just don't see an option for Intel, unless they want to gamble their competitiveness possibly permanently. They're not quite in dire straights like AMD was when it spun off Global Foundries... but the outlook is much the same.

> That's the type of one-move-ahead thinking I expect investors will love right up until AMD and Intel give up all their margins bidding against each other for the kingmaking process.

Seems like a major win for consumers. There's no reason to have a $10,000 consumer CPU today, with the exception of lack of competition in both price and performance.
In the UK you don't have an iota of a "fascist" party to be worried about. I agree that the labour party is only "nominally socialist", but at least from Corbyn forward I would not call them liberal. And they have lost touch with the working people about at the same time as well.
In my view, ever since the "deplorables" gaffe, the left has been bending over backwards to pretend to take the "base" seriously instead of just dismissing them as cretins. Naturally the leaders of the "base" are going to take advantage of this.
Sure, but don't believe that as American's there are a few defining issues they agree on along with just about everyone else in the country? Don't you think there are many things they don't agree on?

Heck, GOP got jack-all done in the first two years because they apparently don't agree all that much.
For hypersonic vehicles, restricted airspace is too small. They need to be able to fly into commercial airspace to demonstrate range, guidance systems, etc...
There are plenty of areas open to the public that are accessible to children: playgrounds, libraries, schoolyards, skateparks, large underused parking lots, malls, public pools. Some places have great nature nearby: beaches, creeks, rivers, hills, and mountains. Some of those are more dangerous than others, but they are all accessible if the parent allows it.
Why an apologist? I don’t even think this is a decision that Microsoft or LinkedIn needs to apologize for. Is this already a scandal somehow?
Various theories advanced include that it's the company buying Bitcoins from the CEO's private stash, or that their actual software business has gone down the toilet so they're just YOLOing on Bitcoins. Or possibly both.
Secondary sleep space for the baby (we had a crib mattress on the floor in the living room for naps anyway) or secondary sex space for the parents. A futon in another room does double-duty when the kid is old enough to nap there safely.

Middle-of-the-afternoon is a good time. Older kids can be occupied with Legos while the baby naps and the parents sneak off.
This has already happened with other drugs whose usage increased significant as a result of the pandemic
pg_trgm is definitely what the doctor ordered when you get into more complex cases -- for us, that is pharmaceutical product names [1]. pg_trgm has really helped us with fuzzy matching on complex, multiword chemical names.

Best decision my parents made for me when I was kid: no extra activities after school, no summer camps, no music lessons, etc, no soccer teams, etc.

I did have "unofficial summer camps", I did play some music instruments (without teachers), I did play a lot of soccer (without teams, just in the street)... I (and the kids in my neighbourhood) did all of these without adults.
This is simple conspiracy theory run amok about Russian fear mongering. There’s no proof about anything stated in the article, just some guy spreading rumors around.

China communist party has actual people spying on all levels of government, business, tech, academia, etc on a large scale. Documented cases of China communist spies caught red handed. Those are just outright criminal spying on US.

There are also mass disinformation and propaganda campaign run by China communist party state run media and tech companies. They run bot operations in all US social media. They run pro China communist party opeds in Establishment media.

Where are the non stop outrage about uighars, Hong Kong, Tibet, Tiananmen Square, Chinese slaves making Apple iPhones, China colonizing Africa? The active suppression campaign is on full force to suppress discussion of any negative stories on China behavior.
Fair enough, but 5.0.0 is working fine for me, I think I'll sit this one out until this is confirmed/looked into better.
That's a very clickbait-y title.
Why do you let revs login to production machines. That's your first problem.
I had to do that for a website I ran a while ago. It's unfortunate but at the end of the day blocking China means that the rest of the world can continue to use your services legitimately.
Thanks for the thought. That sounds fine for simple compiler makefiles, although I'm using it for general purpose work (data analysis and visualization). I'm hoping for something that wouldn't require each command to be wrapped up, as there are many.
Coursera often changes the numbers/units for math problems and switch up problems on every attempt. You can cheat at a 4-year physical college, but it's harder. If you are trying to cheat on courses, you probably shouldn't be in college :)
We're not? https://www.nrc.gov/waste/decommissioning/finan-assur.html We also have a nuclear waste fund that previously received $750M in fees per year and sits at a balance of $44B, but that's been paused since there has been no effort to actually use the funds to dispose of waste.
I would expect that all data processing by default leaks information via computation time. Some algorithms are intentionally designed to resist this; people that have gone to this effort will mention them. (A similar thing: assume something is not thread-safe unless the documentation mentions it's thread-safe.)
" where we have never had as much access to information, large swaths of the population don't even believe global warming is _real_"

I completely agree. In this age of broadband internet, social media where information is at your disposal, we are not matured enough to handle this, speaking from micro-evolutionary perspective. And where we can not digest/process/retain information, we conveniently convince overselves that it might not be real. Sadly, we are doomed.
Are you advertising the book? I realized I'd read this comment in a separate thread today and, lo and behold, your profile shows you copy/pasting this exact comment across six separate threads, all at about the same time.

Edit: Not only that, but you've essentially plagiarized a Vox article[1] from earlier this year. You just copy/pasted the third and fourth paragraphs from the piece without even using quotations or attributing it to someone else.

Here's a few for depression and air pollution[1][2]
Here's some studies on anti-inflammatory treatments for treatment resistant depression[3]
And more relevant to the original topic, 5HT-2A receptor agonists may have anti-inflammatory effects. There's huge potential in a broad class of molecules that have been banned for moral, not medicinal, reasons.[4] Edit: picked another one [5]

That's just some quick googling. There's tons more out there to read!
You are probably right. I was thinking more along the lines that national leaders have an ego, so there could be a benefit to pointing out they are inadequate.
Can you elaborate on the second point? I don’t understand how banning gay marriage controls reproduction.
Is there a possibility that using this method might actually cause people to delay treatment? (i.e. ordering this kit instead of immediately going to their doctor)

I like the idea though, especially once you expand the number of tests available. Would be nice to be able to take a test when I get a cold/flu to confirm that it's actually cold/flu instead of something else that warrants a doctor's visit.
For those wondering about the relative impact of each bullet, [1] is a quick starting point down a rabbit-hole that goes very deep.

Can confirm. I’m mining on 2x1080s and 2x2070 Supers, and definitely and easily turn a profit after electricity costs, however, it seems like profit is starting to drop rapidly to the point where I seriously question if it’s worth it. The GPUs run at 56c/120w avg. so it’s not too taxing, but it’s still putting wear on all the hardware, fans, etc.

Selling the cards (at above MSRP) now and putting that straight into BTC would probably turn a better profit long term, albeit, very much a gamble. The mining is definitely getting harder/less profitable and at some point soon (2021?) ETH is changing from PoW to PoS.
I watched the movie and had to read the wiki page about the novel to follow it. And I'm a) no longer smoking weed, b) used to teach a history of film class in a lit department at a university, b) also enjoyed Lem when I was reading those works.

I enjoyed the film, but it's very difficult to read without at least a glance at a synopsis of the source material.
No, and Apple even tells you that when they indicate the processor is geared toward running simplified AI for applications purposes and not meant for training new models. Mining coins seems clearly more like training new models.
> They would not have sold as many millions of iPhones, iPods (heck, even Macbooks) in the last decade, if Instagram & Facebook weren't there to suck people in to their platform

I really don’t see the logic in this.

It’s pretty obvious these devices were useful for many things - messaging and the web would have been enough to guarantee growth.

I think you have the causality the wrong way round.

People only use Facebook so much because the iPhone put it in their pocket rather than on their desk.
Reduced motion != no animations.

Apparently, in MacOS, reduced motion is just the same except it’s a fade animation. More importantly, it takes the same amount of time.
Beware of the dopamine addiction, specially TikTok, I think it's so addictive it should be regulated :)
I think these folks must share a building with The Royal Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things.

Can relate. After some searching I found:

https://github.com/Teamwork/visual-dom-diff

Which is quite good and fast. Encodes HTML tags as Unicode chars, calls diff-match-path and uses diff to build a final visual output.
Maybe I missed it in the post, but is this an open source codec or are they just comparing themselves to open source codecs?
At least they didn't tell you they have Mozilla and Adobe installed. I sometimes hear those from non-technical folks too.
I was fortunate to discover Jeff Hawkins in the early 2007 , when he was exploring brain science ..
.I went through his lectures for entrepreneurs at ecorner.stanford.edu , being indian ,I had to literally slow down the video to understand his speech and he is like Bill gross, very very fast in articulating and highly energetic in their talk. You can feel their passion in their work.

Incidently Jeff Hawkins was the first to work on Palm software.....you can say early versions of today's smartphones.

Coming back to brain science , I somehow feel it's more to do with complexity (Santafe.edu).

I am waiting for jeff Hawkins to launch a university like santafe.edu ( complexity) which works exclusively on brain science. Perhaps that would increase application of brain science.
I never got the purpose of projects like this, at least they admit that there is no current way of guaranteeing a safe device.
Even with "open" firmware virtually any commercial hardware can be either backdoored or exploited. Modern phones (as well as any other computing device) have so many software components that i suspect intelligence agencies do not even have to exploit the main user OS to get data of them.
Modem and BBP OS, CPU microcode, bootloaders, firmware for other hardware components ranging from the camera to radio's not covered by the BBP, USB/OTG controllers and more.
I have serious doubts that "sandboxing" hardware components will actually work, especially in any useable way.
For example modems behave badly all the time, both due to internal glitching and due to environmental reasons. Heck dump your BBP logs from your mobile device and see how much shit it pulls off regardless of what the OS tells it to do because it's manufacturer thinks they know better (and they do most of the time), so every time there is some BS signal on the same frequency or the modem decides to wake up or hop channels on it's own the device will reboot? GL making a single call with that then.
Not to mention that i really don't see how they are going to do monitoring effectively, from the schematics they are doing power management monitoring which is nice but most BBP packages can receive even in "sleep" mode. The isolation they are suggesting might also not really work, sure putting in "breakers" (which i assume are either some low voltage relays switches or resettable fuses) and cut the power off completely to the BBP might work but cutting off the antenna from the BBP? doubtful RF signals should be able to hop most in circuit breakers, and many BBP modules these days come with integrated antennas for at least some of the low power/low gain RF stuff like BTLP and NFC.
To me this seems like another one of these "experiments" that will only result in overpriced and outdated hardware with poor user experience. I would love to see an N900/950 modernization just for the ability to run actual linux on the phone to serve as a toolkit. But if anyone thinks that any device they can hack together will give them any level of privacy over organizations like the NSA is living in la-la land...
To you, that "substantial equity" might be a real cost, but to the applicant it's essentially a lottery ticket. The expected value of your equity is zero. I've worked in many silicon valley firms that offered stock options but the only time one ended up having any value to me was as a bargaining chip - I was able to tell the next firm that wanted to hire me "gee, I'd love to take your offer but if I leave now I'm giving up all these unvested options worth lots of imaginary money" which helped negotiate a signing bonus.

Most companies fail, making their stock options worthless. And even the few companies that succeed usually hit bumps in the road that dilute the stock options or put their value underwater.

So if you have a reason to think your idea of "substantial equity" is much more likely than average to ever be worth anything at all, you should make that fact a key part of your pitch. (Or if you're indifferent between equity and salary, offer more salary and less equity.)
Thanks for the feedback.

> And "competitive compensation" to me signals "eh compensation". It's a pretty weaselly word.

What do you think would sound better? Above market compensation?

> Also, I didn't see any technical people mentioned on the About page? Are they not part of the team?

Good catch. I'm on there (Director of Product & Technology) but we haven't done a good job of keeping it up to date with new hires.

> What impact are they going to have, both in the company and in the world?

Yes, I definitely need to work on this. I've done a pretty good job of refining the technical vision and how it fits with the overall company, but haven't yet distilled it down to a good description. How's this:

Cafe is building technology for discovering, publishing, and sharing great stories. We're building: web scrapers which analyze content across the web (with NLP and Amazon Mechanical Turk) to identify promising writers, a platform which makes it easy for non-technical writers to publish interactive stories, and analytics which model how ideas and stories flow across the web in real time. As a developer at Cafe, you'll be using technology to inform and entertain millions of people while driving clickbait off the web.
Im working on this now, but not using grok, using NuPIC core directly. Its been fun maintaining my own private fork of the repo while I scale the algorithms to run on > 1 machine i.e. be able to build a model of any topology where the regions aren't necessarily on the same machine, but still must be fast.
This isn't a bug, it's a feature for indication that an user has an alarm set, so it minimizes the possibility of going off at unexpected time, the user wasn't aware of. Imagine if having mobile connection indicator wouldn't be shown because someone would say it wastes space, resulting in possible charges.

Hiding things from users isn't exactly good UX.
In Florence, Italy, in the historical city center, we have an unique numbering system; each street has two series of independent numbering of buildings, differentiated by colors: red numbers are for businesses, black numbers for houses. So for instance a restaurant could be located on the number "23r" (r=red), while the standard "23" (black) can be hundreds of meters away in the same street.

I think there is currently no mapping system that handles this madness. Google Maps still does a decent job if you're looking for a specific place, because people have reported the exact gps positions of most businesses through user-reporting, but if you enter an address with a red number, you're unlikely to be correctly directed.

I guess the neural network knows nothing of colors...
Good argument but I still don't agree with it completely. First of all lets separate devices into three categories - desktops, laptops and touchscreen.

For desktops CPU and RAM are largely irrelevant in such amount (temporary up to 25-50% CPU usage increase for one core, and up to 500-1000Mb of memory usage increase in worst case - for instance my FF never exceeds 1Gb overall with ABP and other stuff). I sometimes "fix" old PCs for relatives and even in worst cases ABP usage isn't a noticeable hit on performance.

For laptops resources are more relevant as well as battery life. I'll even agree with your point for this category, but still for now ABP hit is not that big as compared to ad noise.

For touchscreens resources are very important BUT! This is a very big "BUT". But the websites are almost unusable without adblock. I use iphone and ipad where there are no adblockers afaik. When I browse the web it is horrible (with a big H - Horrible) - everything is jumping, jiggling and wobbling for a long time during page load. One moment there is a text in some point and I try to scroll - and instantly there appears stupid facebook crap which I of course click. Same with multiple frames, banners, popups (I hope these devs will burn in hell). And additionally there weird motion gestures in-built into page, transparent overlays which are part of a nearest ad. The list goes on...

Basically on touchscreens web browsing experience is so horrible that I'm willing to trade adblocker for x2 increase in battery consumption (note that web browsing is not the only thing to do on a phone or tablet, so this is not a total x2 lifetime decrease).
I haven't read the paper yet, but I don't think this is even the biggest CNN inside Google. The NIPS2015 Hilton/Dean paper talks about a single network trained for image classification for six months on a large number of cores.
Here's ways to demonstrate there really is a talent shortage.

- wages rising, in real terms, faster than inflation. And not some bullshit fed measure of price inflation (ex the things that inflated), but bay-area inflation that counts the 10% annual increases in rent / home prices.

- getting serious about remote employees

- if location is really so critical, paying enough that talent from the midwest / west moves to the bay / nyc. And not fresh grads, but engineers 10 years into their careers. I currently see experienced engineers leaving sfbay.

- companies, particularly big ones like oracle, google, linkedin, yahoo, fb, salesforce, and even vc coalitions getting serious about addressing local cost drivers, ie housing and transport.

I see zero of those.
I think, for everyone it probably depends a lot on what each of us build as a programmer, because although most programming languages are "general purpose" they have communities and toolchains that tend to be more heavily specialized to one area.

For me, I do lots of web application dev, not websites but applications which I think makes a big difference in my taste. Personally, I love using Ruby because its ecosystem lets me rapidly and succinctly build ideas and mesh together APIs and the incoherence of the web in a clean way. But I've absolutely hated the ruby experience when building number crunching programs and desktop apps, here I found python to be a much more robust solution.

For command line apps on the other hand I really like Go and C, because I hate having to wait for dynamic languages runtime to load before I can run my command. So "enjoyable" for me really does depend on the context and the problem set I'm dealing with, because lets face it if you need to do bitmask ops those fancy floating point js numbers are just going to annoy the heck out of you and you'll really wish you had that simple unsigned short :)
Thanks. And just to be clear, I wasn't saying 50K is anything but entirely reasonable for someone in my position, just that 100K coming out of a bootcamp seems unlikely. And that's OK! Money is nice, but my main motivation is that I love programming.
GA Instructor in London here!

None of my students have gotten jobs out of my short-term, part time (6 hours a week) course yet. Most of my students were already employed and looking to find out more about development, or starting their own business. That's why they did a less intensive course. A couple, both with jobs already, are going to start looking soon though, they tell me. I'm excited to see what they come up with :)

However, I know that from the immersive course (UX Design Immersive and Web Design Immersive) which are all full time, many students get jobs. One recently at a company I used to work at, and in fact, my Teaching Instructors were both ex-GA students one of whom had gone on to get a job and then start freelancing.

Pretty cool!
As someone who reads physical books almost exclusively, print on demand is getting better, but offset still reigns supreme.
I have friends who have done them & gotten hired -- nowhere near 100k tho.

Its very depressing to me though..... I freelanced as a web dev for years & turned it into a career because it came easy & now am sticking with it for a bit because I got an easy job offer to do some consulting. But man am I envious of pretty much every other profession...

Basically: if I were not already in this position (handed it on a platter), I wouldn't aspire to it. It upsets me to see friends with master's degrees in arts, sciences etc. clamoring to be low-end web devs. If you get up on the wave easily then by all means ride it for a bit but if you have to start from square 1 there are lots of better things to do with your time.
