For those doubting the usefulness of these rigs, I can say that for GPU rendering numerous of these are in use by small sized studios and freelancers. The bottleneck of the slow PCIe connection is nothing compared to the render times per frame in most cases. It's only when a frame takes less than a second to render that you notice. They are very popular with e.g. Octane users. The only thing to be aware of is that some motherboards do not play well with this and will not recognize all cards or will not run stable with it attached.
Ironically coming from DN, who under current editor Wolodarski has lost a huge amount of credibility among Swedish intellectuals. What used to be the premier journalistic publication of Sweden now runs a highly biased agenda, and has been involved in a number of journalistic scandals (cover ups etc).
And it is disheartening for the users to have a dozen of electron apps competing for CPU Time or Memory slowing down your PC and draining your battery.

Choosing electron to build an application means you didn't care about those implications either by negligence, ignorance or a combination of both and you can't expect a positive response when you neglect those issues just because you wanted to build something with the minimum possible effort to ship the application as fast as possible.

If we just blindly praised the efforts of people, the end result would be more apps built with electron, and that is abhorrent.
Obama and Clinton both had a 'consortium of behavioral scientists', who helped with such things as how to craft messages for maximum impact, and how to counter what they felt were lies floating around about their candidate. If Trump had the same thing, they would be labeled cold blooded propagandists.

To learn about the facts leading up to the bankruptcy, a great resource is to read the declaration in support of the first day motions. This is filed under penalty of perjury so there is a reasonable expectation it is factually accurate. From the filing, here are the financial details [1]:

"For the year ended January 31, 2015, the Debtor reported revenues of approximately $85.0 million, gross profit of approximately $34.0 million and EBITDA of negative $6.3 million. For the year ended January 30, 2016, the Debtor reported net revenues of approximately $77.1 million, gross profit of approximately $22.8 million and EBITDA of negative $15.4 million. Through August, 2016, the Debtor has reported revenue of approximately $41.1 million, gross profit of approximately $17.7 million and EBITDA of negative $3.3 million.

The Debtor projects that, for the year ending January 27, 2017, it will generate net revenue of $77.0 million, gross profit of $33.3 million and EBITDA of negative $1.4 million."

Artificial General Intelligence is roughly defined as a machine that can do all the things a human can do. For example, an AI capable of doing AI research and programming computers, would be AGI. The Turing test (as Turing originally described it, not garbage like chatbot competitions) is the most widely accepted standard of AGI.

Superintelligence goes well beyond that. A machine with cognitive abilities far beyond humans. I don't think such a machine is very unlikely even in the near future. It's unreasonable to believe that humans are the pinnacle of intelligence. We are just the very first intelligent creature to evolve. Our brains are heavily resource constrained by size and energy. And neurons are many orders of magnitude slower than transistors. And also far larger and less compact.

Immigrants don't commit crimes. Poor people commit crimes. It happens that the poorest people in Sweden right now are immigrants.

The rape stats are also way different from how they are portrayed in the media. In Sweden, if you are in an abusive relationship, every instance of abuse is counted individually, and as Assange learned, the law is very strict. As other countries tend to do far worse at reporting and prosecuting abuse, and as other countries tend to count all occurrences of abuse together as one crime, the numbers are not directly comparable to other countries.

Source: am living in Sweden in a "hotspot", am an immigrant but am rich and white. I saw nazis demonstrating in the local town center yesterday, which shocked me. Sweden is a very safe nice country, and the alt-Right in Sweden (SD being big where I am) and abroad are misrepresenting it.

When an immigrant politician in The Netherlands made up a "fact" about Dutch doctors pulling the plug on immigrants patients sooner because of racism / a language barrier, he was asked by all journalists why he would use an unsubstantiated rumor in his campaign and how he thought that using something like that was ethical.

Is nginx as a reverse proxy as efficient at caching as varnish? Asking as I haven't found any benchmarks on the subject.

That is a very fair observation and one in which I had not considered. I was somewhat biased in thinking about the aspect that it would make universal translation closer to becoming a reality. So it is somewhat a chaos aspect in languages I suppose that does allow evolution of the language.

With that the whole aspect could voice translation add's another aspect to this and perhaps tackling keyboard inputs upon a keyboard layout that is designed to be the worst possible ever layout is an area due to die off sooner than we think. Though the prospect of forcing generations to endure, even if they do not know about typewriters does bemuse me.

Without disagreeing (nor agreeing), what do you mean by intelligence? A lot of the disagreements I see is from people disbelieving that "mere" math and algorithms can exhibit intelligence. A mystical sort of Intelligence of the Gaps. I don't think that is your stance but I'd be interested in clarification.

I think the wiser plan would be for technology companies who are pro-secession join forces and create a militia of tech -- i.e. invest in robotic/drone tech for military purposes, that way they can unleash a war if need be--but one of robots/drones instead of people. I think the next world war will be more about technology than it will people fighting people. Controlling drone/robotic weapons tech could be huge for a country wanting to secede.

>performance delta between the east and west coasts of the US can have a meaningful impact on ecommerce shopping carts

Assuming a mid-sized, US sales only, ecom site, I would think serving it up somewhere in the geographic center (Dallas?) would suffice fine. Things like lazy loading images on category pages tend to make a bigger performance impact than a CDN in this restricted use case.

(I'm part of the cryptpad team) This is indeed an issue, and on cryptpad we will one to tackle that issue in the future with other ways to share the key that does not involve copying it on unsecure channels. For now there is though a difference between dropping you URL in unsecure channels and having your content lying around unsecured at a hoster's site.. the first difference is that your hoster has your content but might not be able to read your snapchat

Murders / 100k people in Sweden: 4. Chicago has 27.

At least the southern states in 1861 had the advantage of providing a large percentage of the prewar officer corps and West Point graduates, as well as graduates of the other military academies like VMI and the Citadel.

Tell that to the creators of NCCL and DSSTNE, who have both achieved ~12.5 GB/s O(n) collectives on 16x PCIE Gen 3 across an arbitrary number of GPUs given they are connected across a network of PCIE switches with no intervening CPU in the ring. Sure, there are latency issues here that ultimately cause a small amount of friction, but nothing like what you are implying, and NVIDIA could address those issues if they ever wanted to do so.

Or who are you going to believe? Your #PCIEAlternativeFacts or the above lyin' code libaries? But I'll cut you some slack, back in the day (2013-2014), it took a great deal of data to convince GPU server vendors like Quantum, SuperMicro, and Cirrascale that this was the case. And to this day, they still sell multi-GPU servers with chipsets where one set of GPUs on a PCIE switch cannot directly access the other(s).

There is 1 such bidirectional ring in a tree of PCIE hubs. For bonus points, figure out the 4 bidirectional rings inside the NVLINK topology within a DGX-1.

That said, I like the idea of this expansion cluster. If they were to quickly research and offer an 8796 switch-based variant, they could make top dollar in the 99% segment of the emerging Deep Learning market. Potentially also from hedge funds and big pharma, none of whom wish to pay $5000 for $1000 GPUs with premium trim.

And they would get to do this until NVIDIA gets its knickers in a bunch (once again) about people using GeForce GPUs instead of Tesla GPUs for the sort of workloads they have arbitrarily classified to require said Tesla GPUs and then either cuts off their supply of parts or extorts them in some way to shut them down.
The loan is a liability, the degree is the asset. If the degree is unable to land the person a job, or the earnings of the job over the career do not stack up to the price of the degree, then it is an "upside down investment" just like a house with negative equity.
> AI is not going to eat intel's lunch, all those computers still require cpus.

But they might not need that powerful CPU anymore, if computational heavy task happens elsewhere anyway. So as time goes, CPU will become less critical, meaning less money for Intel

> even compared to windows

Windows is an expensive commercial OS, if anything it should be better, and it usually is better than the Linux desktop.

Power use (no rip battery), "it just works", fast and efficient in most cases.

CLI is a whole different story, but bash in ubuntu in windows is already pretty good, and there's no reason it can't be equal to bash on any other Linux distribution.

>> I like it when my software is able to push out 60FPS animations.

> This is not JS (or Electron) specific either.

Pikzen could be more respectful. But to be fair, it is really reeally hard to make animations smooth all the time with web technologies. I have never seen a web app or Electron app being smooth all the time, on all my hardware. Usually there is some amount of stuttering. I mean, come on, we did 60 fps in the 90s, so even hardware from 10 years ago should be able to achieve 60 fps all the time without breaking a sweat. I know there are hardware accelerated CSS animations but for some reason smooth animations remain hard, e.g. because of garbage collector pauses, accidental relayouts or whatever.

Native UIs tend to fare much better. Though to be fairer still, even they fail at delivering smooth animations all the time (but still succeed more often than web tech). For exmaple macOS Sierra has more animation stutterings on my latest Macbook Pro than OS X Lion from 2008.
"Thus my qualification "well known"."
So that, to you, means "i don't know anyone who used them"?

Because that's a pretty small definition of "well known".
For reference:

Inside the VCS community, they were very well known.
Graydon also went on to start Rust, of course.
Outside of that, even to corporations I dealt with (i was working on SVN at the time), plenty knew it existed, a few evaluated it.

" But both of these were experimental and extremely slow at the time git was designed."

I feel like this is just you trying to say "well, they never would have worked anyway".

DARCS was slow and couldn't be fixed, monotone was actually not that bad, and could be made very fast if necessary.

Monotone was slow precisely because it cared about integrity. If you made git care about integrity and security in the same way ... it would be just as slow!

Saying they were "experimental" is silly.
Monotone was self hosting and nobody had found data corruption or other issues in quite a while (IE > 1 year), AFAIK. This is much better than git was for a long time. To put this in perspective, i converted the gcc repository (hundreds of thousands of revisions, in fact, many more than the kernel at the time, and history going back to 1983) to monotone, and
1. the conversion worked with no issues
2. Speed was fine in most cases. If i worked hard, i could find issues, but ....

git was beyond experimental at the time it was designed (IE data loss and repeated crashes).
But it's design is essentially that of monotone in a different container and with slightly different goals.
(IE they precisely gave up the integrity part that monotone verified and cared about, and people are now complaining about).

In truth, if Linus had cared about cryptographic security, he probably would have just stuck with monotone and rewritten parts of it.
But he didn't, so he gave that up in the name of speed.

Which is fine, but let's not pretend that Linus somehow has a monopoly on design, or even was the first to design a VCS that was like git.

Any of the distributed VCSen could have beaten git. They just didn't care about the tradeoffs that git was making (IE non-portability in favor of speed), and honestly, it's pretty obvious git would have been laughed out of existence if it hadn't been supported by someone so popular to so many people.

In fact, it was laughed out of existence, the past N times people had devised VCSen that favored speed over portability.

Git is interesting as an example of how good marketing with the right figures sometimes leads to winning in the marketplace for long enough that you can fix the rest of your serious issues (IE everyone else had the OS/2 problem). Even more interesting is that everyone else backfills history to make it seem like it was the best and clearly the right set of tradeoffs from the start. It wasn't. It may not even be now!
It's like any other system.
Please don't try to backfill history here. I was there, as were many others.
And with securitization of mortgages, original lender doesn't have skin in the game. The servicer has to follow the rules very tightly, so they will quickly go for foreclosure, it doesn't matter if you call them and say you just got a job offer so you can pay in a month. If loans were held on the balance sheet of the bank, you'd call up a rep at the bank and they'd work with you to figure something out. Foreclosure is the last resort for the lender because they want you paying interest, they don't want to deal with running and selling a house.

The trumpocalypse suggests that we may be able to escape the cathedral. But the very nature of the trumpocalypse suggests that if we escape the cathedral via democratic means, the result might be something even scarier than rule by the cathedral/administrative state/etc.

I suspect a more likely outcome - given the centralization of social media - is that the cathedral will succeed in suppressing the upstarts.

Twitter, in spite of Trump's use of it, is certainly attempting to do so. Zuckerberg seems to have briefly resisted, but now seems to have seen the light.

I also have decent memories from Sweden, I've been living there for a few years. Apart from stolen bike (worldwide phenomenon) and housing scam (classic Uppsala) it was fine. But rising power of SD in Sweden is very worrying. On the one hand you have some immigrants that are not always on-board with advances that Swedish society did and on the other you have nazis. Not sure about SD support now but it was over 10% last time I checked and much more in the north.

Lessons from the history of attacks on hash functions
Let's look at raw statistics for a second. The data comes from the Swedish crime agency bra.se: https://www.bra.se/bra/bra-in-english/home/crime-and-statist...

1) Total numbers of offenses. Rape statistics chart is displayed below:

https://apps.axibase.com/chartlab/013dc374/1/#fullscreen

2) Population pro-rated:

https://apps.axibase.com/chartlab/013dc374/3/#fullscreen

What happened in 2002-2004? As was discussed in media, the Swedish authorities have encouraged reporting of sex offenses and changed the methodology of how rape crime is reported and counted.

One of the unintended side effects is that it's difficult to compare the time series, and this is one of the challenges that all statistical agencies are facing. If you change the definition, be prepared for misunderstanding and misreporting - both intentional and not.

By the way, the country where Julian Assange is alleged of a sex assault is ... Sweden.
> startups that at first everybody is in love with. The startup explodes and grows to become widely successful and morphs from startup to corporation. An incident happens, and then everybody jumps on the bandwagon and bashes them mercifully. Boycotts insue. Clone competitors pop up proclaiming to be "not-evil" and the cycle starts again.

Apple may be the only company which seems to be perpetually stuck in that cycle and still going strong. Even Steve Jobs apparently said something along the lines of "we are the biggest startup on the planet."
I just want to point out that socioeconomic status is generally not an established correlate of crime, despite many thinking it is, though it's possible that the disparity may cause people to commit crime. It's probably not very accurate to attribute crime to immigrants being poor.

Disclaimer: I am not an expert in criminology and also not very familiar with sweden's situation
