yep 4x int8 (44 TOPS)on 1080ti. Is the framework support for there for inference at 4x speed int8 on 1080ti? How about training - I thought you need fp16 minimum for training. I've seen some research into lower precision training (XNOR) but unsure how mature it is.

Being able to use 44 TOPS for training on a single 1080ti would be pretty awesome.

Never heard of that before. Pretty crazy.
A guy I knew used to say that this is why computer science is so much easier to learn than number theory. It's thousands of years of number theory to learn vs a few dozen years of computer science. On top of that, the recent historical explosion of computer science is also accompanied by perhaps an even larger explosion of number theory.
Or because it really was poor and inhospitable. Until the middle ages, when new agricultural tools were invented, Germanic territories projected very little power, and relied on periodic aggression to survive in typical nomadic way. This changed when they could actually grow stuff in more reliable ways, producing surpluses to trade and establishing stable kingdoms.
Thanks for the info. One more question on that: Do you think it makes sense to rerelease that independently or upstream the changes so that others could also include a more lightweight webrtc library? Or are your changes too far tied to Safari? I guess an optimal solution would need to have some kind of platform abstraction layer which then gets implemented by integrators like Chrome or Safari. Probably a big effort.

I don't think it's a "bubble" per se, since I believe the EFT approach is very sound. That said, there's an interesting relationship between ETFs and speculation; essentially, the ETF approach relies on the market being highly or somewhat efficient. In turn, the level to which the market is efficient is dependent on people doing their homework and placing informed bets on stocks. Essentially, doing their own evaluations of the "true value" of various stocks.

If most investors move towards ETFs, the number of people performing these valuations / bets will decrease, lowering the quality of the valuations. As a result, the efficiency of the market will be lower, and ETFs will be less viable. Or, put another way, having a large part of the market blindly invested in ETFs opens gaps for speculation. The price of various stocks will be further away from their real value, allowing you to have a more reasonable shot at "beating the market" by guessing the real price better.

Wendell Berry writes extensively on the subject of soil conservation, among other things. One observation he makes is that as fewer people are involved in farming, fewer people are knowledgeable enough to identify the signs of bad farming.

His specific example is a river flowing tan from soil erosion; people who haven't been involved in farming don't necessarily know that the farming is the source of the erosion. I think it's also implied that as fewer people are involved in farming, vastly fewer have been exposed to farming methods that don't cause so much erosion.

Lest you think that Berry puts the "good old days" on a pedestal, he does not. He acknowledges the existence of wise and foolish farming practices dating back to when his parents were farming. He argues, however, that mechanization and the externalization of the costs of foolish practices have led to their increasing adoption.

His bibliography is extensive; if you're looking for a good intro to his work, I'd recommend Our Only World.

There are alot of meditation techniques and meditation practices. Most of them revolve around the idea of using the thinking mind, the analytical process, to gain insight about something.

If you do orthodox meditation, you should know there are levels called "dhyanas" or "samadhis" that roughly correspond to your concentration level. The higher the concentration level, the easier it is to see whats going on (like the levels of a building, higher = more range), so you gain a better insight.

This information is not much shared in meditation circles, so people waste their time and lives not knowing they should really request a teacher to show them how to increase their samadhi power and continue to make progress.

> in particular the legal system seems to focus a lot more on whether the process was followed rather than taking a step back and asking whether this is the just outcome.

The legal system in caselaw countries has a concept called "Equity". Its potency varies from place to place, but it original introduced notions of fairness and good conduct that the Common Law, in and of itself, did not always provide.

You don't hear about it because "Judge makes sensible decision" is not a headline that sells. What sells is "Judge makes decision that we will wildly distort beyond all recognition for the clicks".

Ever notice how badly the mass media represents technology issues? They do it for law too, except worse, because they have an incentive to distort the reporting.

I think the idea that any of us are able to judge the trustworthiness of a politician is dubious on its face. When we add in the cliched and repetitive history of broken campaign promises then it becomes laughable.
What did you use to develop this opinion?

I've worked in both private sector and government. As long as a competitive bidding process is used, government actually gets better outcomes from a cost POV, especially for infrastructure style projects.

One big difference that leads to distorted perceptions is accounting standards. Government is mostly funded on an appropriation basis and uses cash accounting. Private sector uses GAAP and does all sorts for wacky bullshit to reduce tax burden. When I sold stuff to a big fortune 50 company, they would roll everything they could into leases -- we would literally buy cases of toilet paper when selling them technology equipment because it would push the booking of cost out.

When I worked for a company like that we would do similar hijinks to book revenue now and push out liability until after the exec bonus periods.

>> It's gross-negligence at the very least.

It's probably the basis of their business model, in order to monetize conversations people have with the chatbot.

It's even more absurd given the fact that conversations between patient and therapist should be guaranteed to be private, otherwise the necessary trust will never be established.

Thinking that a chatbot can do a therapist's job is, for me, either a clear display of massive ignorance, or a deliberate attempt to make a buck off people that can't afford proper therapy.

Psychological therapy focuses (not only, but mostly) on basic aspects of humanity: feelings and reasoning, and the actions that transpire from these.

Everything is important in such an engagement: the language used, the topics discussed, the best approach to a specific topic. And all of these depend on who the patient is (his feelings, outlook over life, language used to express these), but also on how the therapist reads/understands the patient and acts/dialogues over this.

I can't see how someone can honestly think this is something a chatbot can do, how could a piece of software reason over what the person is saying and feeling. But I think it's a well established fact that therapy can actually be nefarious or even dangerous if done improperly.
In Computer Science many innovations are bio-inspired, such as various robots (Gecko robot from Stanford: http://news.stanford.edu/news/2010/august/gecko-082410.html, Harvard's octobot: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-37169109) and algorithms (neural networks are inspired by how the brain works, genetic algorithms are inspired by evolution).

Note though that even though these robots and algorithms are inspired by biology, in terms of functionality or design they typically only play lip service to the real thing.

Except you're not getting a choice about any details, large or small. In actuality it is entirely unclear what you are getting to choose at all apart from which person you imagine, might, against hope, history and evidence maybe do something you agree with.

I am proposing that fundamental policy matters: taxation, foreign wars, climate change accords, trade deals be dealt with directly.

The smaller details can be handled by experts in order to free up our time to watch football games, catch up on soap operas and paint our nails.
Adding more...

"Don't be a slob", "Don't accumulate shit", and "Don't be stupid with your space" are just so obnoxiously obvious as to be entirely unhelpful suggestions for anyone with half a brain cell.

And "Don't bother putting things away" is a clear sign to me that this person doesn't know what small is, because when you live in an actually small space, putting things away neatly improves your mental state significantly. You will notice your improved condition when you have that extra few feet of floor, desk, and shelf space.

Real functional advice would be things like "You'd be surprised at how much space you can save by replacing certain bulky items with compact travel/camping equivalents." Get rid of big fluffy bath towels that take forever to dry, and get small linen ones instead ( We have a few of these, and now I'd never buy anything else regardless of available space https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WBC17N4/ ). The same goes for comforters and winter coats that you're going to want to stow in the summer, bags, dishes, and so forth.
Names in Spanish for fruit & veg vary greatly by country.

I'm pretty sure 'ananas' is still pineapple in parts of South America, where it's a key ingredient in a Chilean cocktail.

I don't think you should worry about overreacting. I'm working on an e2e encrypted sync/backup service right now and I would never dream about pulling off such a move.

> However, on a mobile device, almost anything goes: mobile devices cannot be trusted. While most of these are just as good as what’s available in the scenario above, it’s routine that the PRNG source on these devices isn’t very random at all. Given that there’s no way to certify the quality of these, it’s a big gamble to bet on mobile PRNGs. ID generation on low-trust mobile devices is an interesting and active area of academic research[1].

This is true for highly specialized systems like sensor nodes maybe. For what is generally understood as a "mobile device", i.e. mobile phones or tablets, it is bollocks.

The bit I like about this one is that it's also either wrong or highly misleading, depending on your viewpoint. If I have a row that says:

I would not expect that to be 1%.

At least, this could easily be the source of an inaccurate calculation elsewhere. This is not a major criticism, but perhaps would be a good point to introduce the idea of testing some of your code, even as a few simple cells that calculate things you expect.

> Guess which one will give you a better return on average and is more liquid?

Honestly? The house still wins.

An index fund account with Vanguard can lose value, but large banks and the federal government artificially inflate property so that it's effectively banned from dropping in value.

An index fund can easily be lost or stolen without your knowledge, but your house usually can't be (assuming you live in it everyday).

And rental costs in every mid-size to major city go up 10-50% year-over-year forever. Mortgages in the US are generally fixed.

Houses are also practically liquid. When 90% of homes sell in less than 3 days, and for more than asking prices (as is the case in the US today), liquidity is basically a non-issue. Index funds rarely sell for more than they are worth, but houses almost always sell for far more than they are worth, daily.

So whether your working off of irrational fears (lost value, stolen) or rational thoughts (total cash calculations), the house is usually a better investment in either case.

Which is terrible for the general economy at large. But is a totally rational move for any one person who has to deal with the current state of affairs
Nice!

Matching is a restricted form of unification that is available in logic programming languages like Prolog. The difference is that in matching, one side is regarded as fixed, whereas unification works both ways.
I lived for a few months in probably 30-40 square feet (2-3m^2), basically a hotel room with nothing but a bed and a window. Meeting up with friends was almost always out in public, except for some movie session every now and then in the room.

If it were called Obamacare and ACA in the news media and politics equally, then yes.

...but that wasn't the case. You can't just ask them questions about a less popular name and expect less-informed people to know it's the same thing.

Likewise, renaming it something else may even gain you even fewer unfavorables. Wow, they must really like the "Affordable Healthcare and America is the Best Act." Nevermind that it's the same as Obamacare--but that name does sound better and people aren't sure it's the same thing, so it'll poll better.

...or maybe if they're the same thing, it's most reasonable to just call it what it's called most often. That won't give you the answer you want, though.

> For example, I don't see how Netflix paying Comcast to zero-rate Netflix traffic is fundamentally different from Amazon contracting with mail carriers to subsidize the cost of shipping for Amazon purchases

Two things:

1) Net neutrality is about not slowing down transit of all other packages (that don't get paid extra for)

2) Your comparison is flawed. Comcast isn't the mail carrier, Comcast is the (only) road. If Amazon makes a deal with a CDN (if they didn't have their own) or any other middle-man service on the net, that isn't an issue, nor related to net neutrality at all.
