I think you misunderstand the reason for using a VPN. Privacy is not the same as anonymity.

Let me try to explain. You use a VPN to protect your connection from MiM attacks, for example if you connect to a public wifi-hotspot, or even when you are connected from home. It also gives you some privacy, because nobody can sniff your traffic, but it does not give you anonymity, well it can, but you'll not be able to verify that it does.

Sure, you hide from your ISP, but you can't verify that your VPN-provider is more trustworthy than your ISP. They might actually log everything and send it on to a third party and you'll never know. Hell, they might even be funded by the NSA...

Use Tor if you want anonymity, even though that's not 100 % sure either.

Just to nitpick that point in the article. You don't need high temperature. As long as you bring the contents to 100 celsius, all you need is time. They use what's called an f-value to determine at what temp and for how long they need to take. The 1 f-value is defined as 1 minutes at 121 cel. Normally for canned goods that will be stored at 25 celsius and lower, they aim for a 4 to 5.5 f-value. So, at 100 degress, to achieve that score would take 8.5 to 12 hours. Whereas at 121 it would only take 4 to 5.5 minutes. Now, what the texture and taste would be like after 8 hours at 100 I leave as an exercise to the reader.

Equity should always be vested. But I am not even sure if you should give them any equity until you know for sure that they are worth it. Even if he lands you 1 or 2 deals, how do you determine the equity (even if vested) just based on that ?

I am just a stranger on the internet so take my advice with a grain of salt. Based on what you said so far, it seems like you don't know this person well and you don't know anything about their track record. That is a huge red flag for me to even discuss equity. Too early.

If you are bootstrapped and money is tight, you could perhaps give him a commission on the first few sales (a fixed percentage of the sale per client etc) instead of equity. If he is really interested and worth it, he will agree. If not, then you are taking a big risk by agreeing on equity upfront without knowing anything about him and his ability to sell.

I am going to disagree there. Tesla names its system autopilot. Uses the fact that autopilot that includes collision avoidance reduces accidents by 40%, and then claims that there system is safer than a human (assisted human safer than a human, genius!). Elon musk has a statement every month about self driving autonomous driverless cars. They even have the gall to say that new cars have "full self driving hardware", is proof of outrageous statements even required?

And all this hype/misleading advertising is fine because Tesla showed a few warnings? And the driver didn't have sufficient reason to believe the car was capable of complete autonomy. A simple Google search will tell you that this driver wasn't the only one.

I think it's less about yield, than it is about amortizing a large R&D budget across more chips. Keep in mind that they are competing with Intel who ships huge volumes and is using this generations profit to fund the next generation fabs.

So AMD pours everything into a single die and manages to hit the desktop (Ryzen with 1 die), workstation (thread ripper with 2 dies), and server (Epyc with 4 dies). All with a single wafer of silicon, and as a bonus the memory bandwidth, max memory capacity, and total number of cores scales to fit all 3 markets.

Pretty crafty. This is far from new of course, various Power CPUs, Intel cpus as far back as the pentium pro, and of course the previous generation Xeons.

Intel's strategy has been one die for most of their low end/low power chips (max 2 core/4T) and a larger die for their desktop (max 4c/8t) that use the same socket (LGA1151).

Then Intel targets HEDT (High end desktop) and server with the same chip, same die, same socket, just marketing to differentiate the x-servies chips and the regular single/dual socket chips that share chipsets, sockets, and a lga2011 socket.

AMD seems to have scared Intel pretty bad. They have held off on the skylake xeons, only shipping them to cloud providers while they wait for the AMD release before releasing skylake xeons to the masses.

I'm glad to say AMD performance seems pretty good, SpecINT (using GCC) is around 50% faster than the similar Intel chip and SpecFP is even better. Seems fair unless you use the Intel compiler to compile all your binaries anyways. In fact the fastest AMD + gcc-6.2 is faster at SpecFP than the fastest Intel + Intel's compiler (1330 vs 1090 respectively).

> the new accelerated evaluation process breaks down difficult real-world driving situations into components that can be tested or simulated repeatedly, exposing automated vehicles to a condensed set of the most challenging driving situations

Chess engine programmers do something like this. Rather than playing thousands of full games to determine your engines strength, you can get a pretty good snapshot by running custom test-suites that contain a curated selection of known challenging positions [1]. One well known downside to this is that if you optimize your engine for test-suites, it invariably performs worse in overall general gameplay. Maybe we'll end up in a situation where cars learn to drive in an extremely over-cautious and risk-averse manner in order to pass all of the dangerous test scenarios.

Keep in mind that AMD puts more on chip than Intel, so you should look at system power, not socket power. The comparisons so far I've seen show AMD doing as well or better than Intel on perf/watt.

I'm increasingly wary of the "sunk cost fallacy" argument. For reasons which are difficult to articulate clearly, but the upshot is that I don't think SCF gives full weight to the issues involved, at least in some instances.

One aspect of this is risk. Whatever your present course is, you've greately reduced your uncertainty regarding it. A new course of action may involve a great deal of unrealised and unrecognised risks. That is, your costs are understated, and your benefits are overstated. Particularly with complex situations.

I would really love it if there was a benchmark around running VMs and containers for something like this. Our dev/test system is all docker containers so that is what we would care about.

I guess it would be hard as there are to many ways to scale out what you run - how many VMs, how many containers, what are you running in them? It would be an interesting benchmark matrix to sort for.

It would be interesting just to see how many containers you could start, run lighttpd and each server a static web page? Maybe 1/2 with the page and 1/2 with an application that builds the page? Who knows...to many variables.

I think we will just by a system when we can and try our workload on it. Oh, well.

The lower end dual socket E5-2xxx are the most popular servers. AMD claims they can win on performance, match or beat maximum memory, and win on perf/watt when comparing a single socket AMD to a lower end dual socket Intel.

Seems reasonable to me, I'd consider getting a quad system in 2U amd system with single sockets if it beat price and perf of a quad system in 2U intel system with dual sockets.
Some feedback:

Some searches, like 'deep learning', 'venture capital', and 'NLP' don't display any results. Not sure if this is a problem with the search functionality or with your database (probably the former). Some searches display a lack of context - for example, searching 'AI' returns a top result of "Air travelers" because the string "ai" is in "air".

You might consider checking out a product like Algolia to scale your search.

There are a few main purposes for a commercial VPN:

- accessing non-encrypted stuff on an untrusted network

- firewall bypassing

- Torrenting

- IP ban bypassing (pretty popular for people writing scrapers or trolling)

Anonymous anything is garbage - many of them log and all can be logged by government agencies or datacenter owners ahead of you. Tor or similar is the best option there. Running something like Algo on your own server is pretty bad for both torrenting and IP ban bypassing as you only have a single IP and many cloud providers will accept DMCA and abuse reports.

All in all if you're looking for either torrenting or IP ban bypassing a commercial VPN solution is going to be a better bet. More IPs for cheaper and with lower risks.

I think "Yeah, that's good, but why not use X?" is Python's biggest problem right now.

At this point, The Zen of Python has been absorbed into many late-gen programming languages; it's easy to see a heavy Pythonic influence on Swift and Go, for example, and some languages, like Nim, even draw the parallel as a promotional thing.

Sadly, the technical underpinnings of the Python runtime itself have not kept up, and it leaves people asking why they shouldn't just enjoy the same advantages they'd get with Python through a newer language with a modern implementation, providing better performance and package/dependency resolution. As much as it pains me to say it, even cutting-edge ECMAScript code can be made to look pretty Pythonic these days.

Python will always hold a special place in my heart, but I'm not sure that a Python implementation is the obvious choice for a dynamic application anymore.

The threshold for "transparency" varies a great deal across users. Some people I know cannot ABX 64 kb/s Opus from the uncompressed original, yet once in a while we hear of someone being able to ABX one particular sample all the way up 192 kb/s. There's also the issue of whether you have the reference to compare. Personally, I stop being able to ABX Opus somewhere around 128 kb/s, but I won't be able to tell that a song has been compressed with Opus at 96 kb/s unless I have the original to compare it to.

> I said that FP16 performance is at least 60x worse, which it absolutely is.

OK, I didn't think that's what you meant because it's a rather silly benchmark to use as it artificially disadvantages the 1080. FP32 deep learning performance on 1080 Ti will usually be ~half of P100's FP16 performance. FP16 is an advantage, but not a 60x advantage, and the 15+ 1080 Tis that you can buy for the price of one P100 are going to be far faster in most deep learning scenarios (admittedly at a higher power/etc cost).

> Comparing the P100 and 1080Ti as if the latter is the consumer version of the former is not useful. They are profoundly different chips.

I couldn't disagree more. The chips are similar enough that most deep learning applications could run on either. Really the only reason to choose P100 for deep learning with the ridiculous prices Nvidia is charging would be memory capacity and bandwidth with the FP16 advantage.
