The 512Gflops is only an uncorroborated blurb posted in a press release. Thus, its highly doubtful that the chip's real world performance comes anywhere near that value.

There is a big difference between space risk and small aviation risk. You always get health issues when you go to space long-term (see the links I have in other replies) with current technology. That is not true for aviation, and you overstate the risks too. That's (rare) accidents vs. "simply doing it is bad for you". I repeat that I'm talking about long-term space flights, not something like a week-long space shuttle mission.
Recommending music on Spotify with deep learning
Since all the other comments are negative, I'll chime in with a somewhat positive experience with a PE firm (although it wasn't a complete going private move).

I worked at OnSemi during the period that TPG was a significant investor. Initially they did enforce some fairly strict standards about how money could be spent. And there was a lot of BS where the quarterly numbers were almost enough to beat the street and so employees were forced to take accrued vacation. However, at the end of the holding period, TPG moved from a "lipstick on the pig" strategy to one of making OnSemi a better company and loosened the purse strings.

Definitely not the case.

I work at CloudFlare, not in DNS or on this code, and have mentioned this incident in the all-company chat. There is a healthy conversation happening there and it turns out a fix was already in the works for the underlying issue.

I look at it this way: I have to assume that, absent evidence to the contrary, all adults are mentally healthy and psychologically competent. If I make any other assumption, then I am on the slippery slope to denying them the right to vote, to manage their own affairs, etc.

The trick, of course, is being reasonable, just, and as objective as possible as to what constitutes "evidence to the contrary". Actually actively harming another? Seems clear, and courts can decide how best to remove that person from a position from which they can inflict harm.

Harming themselves? Much tougher. We've longed struggled with determining the correct moment to intervene and the correct intervention for drugs, excessive drinking, self-cutting, etc.

Behaviour inconsistent with social norms? Much, much tougher. Perhaps we need to live and let live a little more?

Frankly, I do see the hijab, etc., as symbols of oppression. But it ain't for me to judge someone for what they are wearing or doing, if they aren't harming others, and sometimes not even when they are harming themselves.

I may dislike what other competent adults are doing, but my dislike, my distaste, my offense, are worth precisely and totally nothing when questions of regulation arise.

Everyone tries to get the 100% of the orchestration pie. Pie gets smaller as barrier of entry is higher due to the fragmentation.

If those companies would focus on securing position in the pie, rather than owning the whole pie, the pie would grow quicker and thus the absolute returns of each player could be better.

Or to compare with something concrete, that's enough money to buy about six KC-46 tanker aircraft for the Air Force, or about half the cost of the B-2 that was destroyed by faulty maintenance in Guam eight years ago.

> At least the pile of money the dealers are after would be real, if they achieved it. What the war-on-drugs guys hallucinate

> which seems to be overly politicized in the US and therefore not likely to happen.

to be quite blunt, this was because "drugs" was largely seen by most americans as an urban (i.e. black and hispanic) problem before meth overtook rural white america and heroin/pills started showing up and killing kids in affluent white suburbs in the last 10 years.

as it turns out, anyone can get addicted to drugs! who knew.

enforcement policy is already starting to change because of this.

USCIS Proposes Rule to Welcome International Entrepreneurs
Because it can still cause real damage, even if the intentions were good.
There was intent on the Takata and automobile manufacturers to ignore safety problems brought up by another airbag vendor.

At least 14 people died.

There needs to be structural changes in automobile safety:

1. CEOs and executives part of the chain of command need to go to jail for several years. This will incentive executives to assure that safety comes before money.

2. Engineers and other organizations that are aware of a problem should be obligated to go public and to warn agencies such as NTSB. In safety such as airline safety, even junior team members are obligated to interrupt a process they feel is harmful. Thus, the need for obligation in automobile design for obviously the executives don't seem to care.

3. NTSB cannot trust the automobile manufacturers to do right thing. They must be proactive and approve designs of cars.
> Here's what I've never understood despite following security for a number of years. How on earth can the NSA ever conclude "nobody but us" short of silicon level exploits at manufacturing? Do they really think they can do things that the Chinese or other governments with significant agencies and supercomputers can't?

They have a dual mandate and vast surveillance capabilities. I'm honestly not surprise at all by the behavior. I think the horrifying thing is people don't seem to care that this makes Government & Criminals equally dangerous to the security of our infrastructure. I'm just waiting for some massive, systemic compromise of a major bank from a combination of "NSA thinks they are the only ones with them" exploits as it seems like the only thing that would wake people up to the danger.

Those two mandates are in conflict so they are playing the logic of:

1) We have vast surveillance capabilities, so we would be able to detect 0-days sent over a network we have visibility into.

2) We don't care if non-US assets get cracked and we have near perfect visibility into US assets.

3) We have a duty to perform offensive operations. So we should retain any weapon we believe our enemies are unaware of.
100% agree, but there are some exciting banks out there doing innovative things (e.g. BBVA, Santandar, US Bank, Fidor, Silicon Valley Bank). There future of Open Banking is coming... It's just not here yet and I wouldn't hold your breath.

That subsequently prompted some speculation that the chip would replace the now-banned Xeon Phi processors in the 100-petaflop upgrade to the Tianhe-2 supercomputer, which was supposed to be revealed in June at ISC 2016. Given that the latter never happened, it’s likely those FT-2000/64 chips were not deployed, or if they were, did not meet expectations.

Hmm..

Process：Manufacturing with 28nm process

And there you go.

Not sure if people are aware, but China doesn't have any sub-28nm (or 22nm?) fabs. TSMC has some of course, but the Taiwanese government is very, very strong on keeping those plants in Taiwan (although they are fine with TSMC etc building less advanced fabs in China).

Until they get a process shrink on this, I think.. well, I'd like to see some independent benchmarks.

Edit: The Samsung Exynos 5433 (4 cores on a 20nm process[1]) maxes out at 3.78 GFLOPS[2] on selected benchmarks. Call it 1 GLOP/core - I find it unlikely that this thing is going to get 500 GFLOPS with 64 cores, even with a higher power consumption.

Why not name-and-shame here? Placing a backdoor in a safe is not an accidental thing, it's clearly an intentional feature, and unless it was advertised to the customers (highly unlikely), it seems ethically dubious to me.

Besides, what do you think the chances are that the safe manufacturers will offer to replace/improve the already-sold safes? I'd estimate the chance at about 0%, so really all withholding the name does is give people a false sense of security in their safe.

Which is exactly what I mean by "there aren't enough independent security layers protecting sensitive systems." We've known that BGP has terrible security for many years.

Fixing it is hard because it requires a lot of independent parties to agree on what to do and update their routers. In theory this is the sort of thing a government could help with by providing funding, to fund research into solutions and/or provide cash incentives to early adopters.

But the market also solves these things eventually, since successful attacks are bad for business. It just takes for the attacks to actually happen first in that case.

Because if you go the the main page, it IS a conversation: He's saying, "I'm DMR, this is where I work, and these are some of the things I've done." The only difference from another personal webpage is sign at the top that tells you that the person who's talking to you is dead.

The other dimension to keep in mind is time. Governments can just cash out whatever {Vupen|Zerodium|rogue researcher} ask for, and get a 0-day for any major platform waiting there to be sold. Any obscure, probably less-secure platform has surely gone through less research and time becomes key: probably there will be no time to develop an exploit within your operational window.
Where am I overstating the risks?

Flying as a hobby probably doesn't have much in the way of long-term health consequences, but doing it as a profession does. Radiation exposure at cruise altitude is significantly higher, but nobody seems to warn prospective pilots or flight attendants that they're risking their health for their job. At least with astronauts, you can be certain that they'll be taught just about everything there is to know about the health consequences of space travel before they're given the opportunity to go on a long-term space mission.
The tech that actually made my life much easier was Docker. Using docker-compose to manage the tech stack (redis, elastic, apache, flask), docker-machine to abstract away where docker is running, docker-haproxy to be able to run multiple services on the same instance with virtual hosts, sane deployment with docker versioning, etc. etc.
Solid state electronic, I'd imagine. Either way, without electricity, you're not flying anymore.
Yeah, I refer to Lucasfilms for almost exactly the same reason.
C++, regardless of open/closed source is not in a sad state IMO. The problems you describe sound like they're from the perspective of someone who's worked with much higher level languages. C++ is as good (or as bad) as it's always been, it hasn't evolved to a bad state.

New language designers have the luxury of having been bit by C/C++'s misfeatures and wrinkles. They also have the luxury of high end computers which can solve lots of problems in reasonable computation time. This means that modern languages can afford to trade off more computation resources in favor of development simplicity.

> But I'm just a user of the language. I don't have time and expertise to tackle those build issues and quite frankly installing any library is a major PITA.

I have a hard time understanding what "just a user" of the language means. It sounds like you're confessing to being a novice. That's fine, but you should be prepared to have to do a lot of work before you become proficient in C/C++. Much more so than modern languages.

If you wanted to be cute, but also maybe open up a new path for your intuitive response to take, you could simply switch the referent for 'addicted users' in your sentence so that it doesn't mean 'the end users of drugs', but instead now mean 'the DEA and all other government and law enforcement agents whose jobs and budgets are dependent on the War on Drugs'. Your next sentence would then be exactly as valid: "they've made so many stupid decisions, disregarded so many warnings, broken laws, possibly [definitely] harmed other people (theft, robbery, etc.), and now people like me [...] have to pay for them".

I understand your intuitive response - it feels injust for prudent, productive people to have the fruit of their good choices taken from them in order to pay for the imprudence of other people. But you are already having to pay for the stupid choices of other people re: drugs, but you are paying much more - both in money and in the societal costs of corruption, erosion of trust in law enforcement, and the world's largest prison population - to support the corrupt and misguided War on Drugs than you would pay simply to support the relatively small number of hopeless addicts that would exist in a sane, health-focused system. It feels like switching to a sane, health-focused system would be a new cost to you, but it would actually be a price reduction over what we are already paying for, and for a far better outcome.
PFSense is much easier to audit than the closed source stuff that the disclosed zero days targeted. Anything that they find in it is far more likely to be found by others and patched. It is a fundamental improvement that you only can get with OSS.

That being said, organizations doing what the NSA does will always exist. Making decisions based on that premise that will lead to a much better result than blaming them for flaws in the things people use ever will.
Well, Shutt's work is about doing analysis and optimizations to fexprs. Picolisp essentially views compilers, analysis, and optimization as anathema.
Copyright is no substitute for patents. If you implement that same thing in another language, it would probably be different enough to avoid copyright infringement. So the fact that this author has licensed software under copyright has nothing to do with copyright's effectiveness in protecting their ideas.

Also, this author is apparently unaware that "pure software" patents have never existed, and do not exist today. This is especially true in the post-Enfish world we now live in.

The author is spot-on that obviousness is broken, that's true. Also a good point that patent quality is ill-defined. But those of us who work in this industry absolutely know it when we see it.

Overall, this article doesn't do a great job of explaining what is actually broken and why software patents suck. But saying that software as a class should not be protected like other forms of labor is insulting to software developers. What a software developer does is just as important as what a mechanical engineer does.
So I think people are missing some points around this deal.

Investment firms like hosting companies for two reasons:

1) They give predictable revenue, which is a great thing. Even if the profit rate isn't amazing, the revenue gives a lot of cash-flow.

2) They (often) own large infrastructure asserts (data centers), which can be depreciated and used as a tax write-off.

Not saying that they won't want to take costs out of the business too, but the motivations for a purchase like this aren't as simple as one might think.
Why would it only work with command line programs on the Mac? That's definitely not true, unless something changed very recently.

Also, you don't need autotools itself to build a autotoolized program. The generated configure script is portable sh.
TXR contains an original Lisp implementation (TXR Lisp), which can be used on its own for tasks that don't require the TXR pattern-based extraction language. Files with a .tl suffix are processed by the txr executable as TXR Lisp.

There is an interactive Lisp REPL (just run txr with no
arguments, or txr -i to suppress the banner message). It has history, completion, multi-line editing with cut and paste and all those goodies. You can interrupt long computations with Ctrl-C, which actually works by turning a signal into an exception caught by the REPL.

TXR is ported to Windows; you can download a nicely wrapped installer version, your choice of 32 or 64 bit.

https://bintray.com/kazinator/Binaries/TXR/

The REPL works nicely on Windows, in its own console window or right out of cmd.exe.

TXR has a built-in mechanism for wrapping up TXR code as an executable application (which is geared toward Windows, but works on other platforms):

http://www.nongnu.org/txr/txr-manpage.html#N-037ACEFC

On Windows, use the txr-win.exe flavor of the binary to avoid opening a console window.
