1) People don't really want to understand how they are getting fucked. They are getting fucked gently enough they don't care.

2) There will be no reckoning. There will be "bubbles" like any other industry but, ultimately, they'll recover at the same pace of housing did after 2008. I'm sure people who post these articles will be convinced that was the "reckoning" but it is just the normal cycle of business in the capitalist system.

3) All this article does is really re-hash the history that has existed for decades and, ultimately, is "necessary" for mass market sales. The corner mom & pop doesn't need to advertise in this manner because its local and the locals advertise for them via word of mouth. Its also dead outside of the service industry because even with the cost of advertising its cheaper to advertise+mass produce. [i.e. restaurants, barbers]

A neural network does not give any guarantee of solving the problem within any number of iteration. NP-hard problems can be solved, but the solution take a lot of time to find and a slightly larger problem is even harder to solve.

Neural networks is an AI method of searching the solution space in a more intelligent way than "trying everything" (true for most AI methods actually).
I can think of two apps that can leverage this kind of FPGA+CPU setup.

Heavy duty image processing: Giga pixel images processing - probably mainly for defence related app like this:
https://youtu.be/MVFeMH3ahtw?t=34m45s

Video processing: I used to work on one - 10 years ago. We have 1U system that process feed ip videos in and provide video/decoding/transcoding service. It has 37 Virtex Pro FPGA each with 450Mhz PPC processor inside. It was a very fun project, make some good $ for the startup too. Deploy a lot of them at comcast and other major cable company til some stupid VC impose their own CEO and piss off of the three MIT founders. I think transcoding system probably still be useful for all the internet video datacenter app. FPGA transcoding app can provide real time transcoding service for youtube to a lot resolutions to various phone screen site.

FaceBox, Youtube, Amazon, Netflix can probably use those device/services.

Anyone else can think of any good/interesting applications for FPGA+CPU setup?

The language in this is a bit silly:

"Nowhere is that more evident than in the U.S., where lending to the government should be far safer than speculating on the direction of interest rates with Wall Street banks."

You aren't "speculating on the direction of interest rates with Wall Street banks", you're buying a synthetic rates position that is centrally cleared with daily variation margin. That's not quite US Treasury safe, but it's pretty damn safe.
This isn't so much a "history of computers" as it is a history of desktop computers/consoles/etc with something of a hobbyist slant.

Probably not formally, but I do tend to find that how much I enjoy a game correlates inversely with how easily I can imagine teaching a computer to play it. Most of the time, if I start thinking "I could write an algorithm for this game", I very quickly lose interest in playing it.

So, I enjoy games where I feel like I can recognize patterns that have some depth and complexity, that make me feel like I can develop some skill, that don't seem trivially teachable to a computer.

Note I'm responding to your critique of the low bid, you said the reason it was bad was because you're taking less than they're "willing" to pay. If that's really your justification, it would apply to non-free bids as well. Maybe that's not your actual justification though...

It is, but it is worth noting that when OCaml or Haskell programmers talk about type inference they are usually referring to global type inference which allows an argument's type to be inferred from its uses. For example:

let f x = x + x

will be inferred as int -> int.
I shop at Amazon quite a bit. They have more information about my purchasing and browsing habits than they could reasonably need, plus the same data on millions of others. On top of that, when I visit their website, they know I'm already there to spend money. Amazon's front page should be the absolute pinnacle of targeted advertising.

And yet, if I buy a coffee maker, the front page is covered in coffee makers for weeks. I've never bought anything based on what's on the front page and I'm not sure I've ever even clicked those suggestions. I'm sure targeted advertising can work in the long run, but at the moment the success rate seems so low that it's more often an annoyance than a convenience.
The most interesting signal I've seen from the world of finance is a number of smart hedge fund managers shutting down their funds over the past few years, stating that fundamental value investing is now impossible as the markets are too controlled by Government policies and intervention.

I threw together a quick, naive, FizzBuzz in it on their online demo, was surprised to find that it doesn't have a modulus operator. Can anyone come up with something simpler?

let divisible = fn (x, y){
return (x-(x/y*y))==0;
};
for let i=1;i<=30;i++ {
if divisible(i,15){
print("FizzBuzz");
}else if divisible(i,3){
print("Fizz");
}else if divisible(i,5){
print("Buzz");
}else{
print(i);
}
}

Edit: Correction, apparently it does have a modulo operator.

Given that ANNs are universal function approximators, it is natural that one would use them to actually generate a simplified model of simulations. What you see here, taking an already accurate model and generating an approximate implementation, is definitely rare but not unexpected. Long-running simulations can have their run-time drastically compressed simply by developing a neural network capable of being parallelized on GPUs, as in this paper. The ANN run time could be further compressed by generating a single-hidden-layer equivalent. Even though they are known to be exponentially larger than multiple hidden layers, the implementation can be valuable in real-time systems where analysis latency is at a premium, e.g. image recognition in machine control systems.
Its a rule-observed-in-the-breach. As you mention, how else can you meet anyone? When there are rules against it folks conspire to keep it secret; yet everyone knows anyway.

I always find these stories interesting but feel like I get lost when they get into the more arcane levels of derivatives. Here is my question; Given the experience of the Subprime mortgage debacle, and the inherent difficulty of understanding who is holding the liability of these derivatives, why doesn't S&P and Moodys just max out their credit worthiness rating at BBB. Just don't ever let them be A rated, at any level. Would that not "fix" the inversion if people are mistakenly believing that counter party interest swaps are "safer" than Treasuries? I'm really curious about that.
After the Paris attacks, does it make sense to have a worldwide biometric visa?
After the "Mumbai-style" attacks in Paris, every world leader is calling for collaboration to prevent these kind of incidents.

Does it make sense to have a VISA/Mastercard style immigration visa ? Every country is already collecting biometric data for passports. Most countries are already making biometric visas. So an international traveler already has no privacy. Does it not make sense to take steps towards paperless passports and visas ... and hopefully towards better information sharing.

While this feels great, I worry if this is a good idea to threaten ISIS on behalf of the French government without the French government's backing or approval. I like that Anonymous is taking a stand against these attacks, but worry about their plans clashing with the governments. And maybe the boasting is unnecessarily going to invigorate ISIS. I wish they would just simply declare cyber war against them, then take them out, and boast afterwards.

I'm with you except that I think the "unit cost" thinkers are only shifting towards Agile/Scrum because the cool kids are doing it. In the brand of Agile/Scrum that those shops create, it is anything but engineer-friendly, and they absolutely still view engineering and software development as cost centers instead of value centers. In fact, in a lot of cases, Agile is used explicitly because it enforces an aggressive deadline culture in which the sacrifice of quality in favor of short release cycles is explicitly codified into the work culture, and reinforced every day in every team interaction. These situations also foster extreme degrees of "surveillance culture" -- basically since the middle management over top of the so-called cost center of engineering can't do much, technologically, to mitigate the realities of creating software value, they opt instead for draconian surveillance and progress tracking environments, like stodgy Jira, and they take things like team burndown literally and draw sweeping conclusions from an extremely small set of burndown data. This all typically goes hand-in-hand with open-plan offices too, where everyone can be literally seen during their work and there is an implicit mandate from the company that your status is partially related to how much you 'look the part' while in the office. Even if you're a developer needing quiet time to creatively solve a problem, and you're seated smack in the middle of a loud group of sales associates whose job requires them to be on the phone all day, the business doesn't care. Your actual productivity as a developer isn't as meaningful to them as your ability to look like a good piece of office furniture most of the time by fitting into their surveillance and micromanagement culture. Typically, promotions and advancement are won in the environments not through technical skill or hard work, but through one's ability to sublimate your natural desires for reasonable working conditions and "endure it with a smile" better than peers can, a phenomenon which Michael O. Church referred to as "macho subordination." In my working experience, at least, this has been precisely how Agile/Scrum are used, whether in a start-up, a finance firm, or a long-standing education tech company.

Can someone explain what is NP-Hard in a few sentences?
Let's make quantum computers play Nintendo games then.
What is that even supposed to mean? The abstract doesn't clarify what "NP-hardness" means in terms of video games.

This looks really click-baity.

In terms of writing a Nintendo game, the solution is a fixed constant: the game's binary.

In terms of solving a Nintendo game, (playing to completion), the solution is in constant time: the amount of time it takes to play the game.

>The organization does have enough money to pay some of them, but the savings from people volunteering goes to other resources, and since people align with the goal of the organization, they are fine with that.

You are comparing two very different things. The material costs of feeding 100 people would probably equal the labor costs of one worker for one day. Nobody is going to make the labor compromise when the question is "Do I feed 10 people or 100 people".

>Any money saved here isn't going to some CEO, this is the government, it's budgeted and if it doesn't go to another project here, it goes to some other service for the American people.

Um, do you have any idea about federal funds just languishing in bank accounts? Just google "unspent government money".

Sorry, your argument does not hold any water. In any case, we're entering into the minutia of a topic that I have little interest in, so I am not inclined to continue.

"For commodities, perhaps it works, but for IT you get what you pay for"

Well, you don't, sometimes you just pay for overhead you don't need.

My wife works at a small 15 person non-profit - I was shocked when I heard how much they pay for IT support from a small support organization.

She asked what other choice they had, because they don't have anyone on-staff that can do it, and their old hardware needed a lot of support.

So I put together a proposal - for less than they were paying for a year of support services, they could replace all of their hardware with new hardware (including desktops, network and printer), plus move from hosted Exchange to Gmail (for another big cost savings).

I spent a weekend setting up the hardware, including automatic backups to a local fileserver plus crashplan for remote cloud backups (they had no backups at all before, just a bunch of flash drives with various bits of information).

They saved money after the first year, plus they had all new and reliable hardware. They bought a block of 40 hours of support from their IT support organization and haven't even used half of that over 2 years.
I host a general-interest VBulletin forum, which at one point had something like a hundred people posting. One day, we discovered that via the "groups" functionality, there was a whole parasitic forum co-existing with ours - we didn't know it existed, we didn't know any of the people there, and they didn't know us, and the two groups didn't interact at all.

I wonder if it's possible for something similar to happen on specific-interest a messaging board, but just as a function of time zones. (e.g., somehow, most of the population of the board is from Spain and New Zealand, 12 hours apart.)

The ISA's are more or less open AMD's are available for download, to get the ISA from NVIDIA you need to register and get a rubber stamped NDA.

But still there isn't any one capable of writing a modern GPU kernel driver and a shader compiler for GPU's.
The driver is doing a billion and a half optimizations, and fixes tons of errors that were left in the code during development at this point most AAA developers say "fuck it" let NVIDIA/AMD handle the performance and that's the best case, there have been cases where AAA titles were shipped with code that can't even initialize the display driver properly and it had to be fixed in the driver.

Both AMD and NVIDIA pretty much keep their compiler and driver locked tight as a trade secret because it sort of is, the driver is what gives them to competitive edge and not in a million years would an FOSS team would be able to keep up with the release cycle for new games and new hardware.

And for people that say well Vulcan will fix it, i highly doubt so, while Vulcan gives you very low level access to the GPU it's not the first API that did so, and it's very likely that developers will still continue to make the same mistakes as they did with DirectX which has by far more internal sanity checks and strict requirements than OpenGL.

Valve might want to see Linux gaming and while they will be most likely able to compete with consoles they have very little chance of being able to compete with Windows based PC's unless there will be a cross platform unified driver architecture or NVIDIA and AMD will decide put as much development resources into their Linux driver as they invest in the Windows one.
perhaps something like this would be clearer:

The US tax rates are vastly lower than that, and we still have enormous amounts of tax evasion (legal and illegal).
