3) It was just recreational (a hydro or oxy here or there) so the cost was low ~$1/mg for oxy. Obviously if you're addicted then $30+/day is crazy, but once in a blue moon it's no different than going to the movies or grabbing a cheap dinner
4) My friends/neighbors who sold drugs or from the good ole medicine cabinet
5) I'm not really a big fan of the feeling.
That is more or less what I was getting at, while trying to remain polite on the subject. The truth is that none of the deep learning backends have real support for it and OSX supports an outdated version (IIRC). It has seen very little adoption outside of a handful of niche use cases.

I think this is a more issue of "Stack Ranking", which by itself should be illegal, but somewhat it is still legal.

While pretty much all employment in the US is "at will" employment, "good faith" is assumed in the system....

Stack Ranking by default is a "bad faith" system, where the employer, will fire people, even though the employees were good performers (if you are in a team of all good performers, it is common place that stack ranking punishes good performers/employees as well).

It is very similar to the "decimation" system that the Roman Army practiced, when a particular unit or legion performed bad or cowardly in battle, one in ten was chosen (via short sticks), and culled to death by their companions. Very brutal, and can't see how it improves morale even if the unit itself is actually performing well. (which stack ranking is, constant decimation).
This causes rampant politicking and favoritism to the point that systematic discrimination arises from it.

I'd appreciate it if you'd remove your comment since I tried to back out immediately from that line of conversation. Would you mind agreeing?

If so, edit your comment to [removed] and I'll delete this one.

Otherwise, I can try to explain my original motives, and what I observed. But it's a tricky conversation to have, and there's a high chance people's tendency to instantly turn to hatred will focus on me. I'd rather pass.
An example of a company not necessarily doing bad things like ABI is Constellation brands. They seem to give freedom to Ballast Point which they bough a few years back.

However, they also bought funky buddha and aren't giving them as much freedom, so who knows the point of selling to a bigger corp.

Name the distilleries you like. Let's see if they even sell their own whiskey, rather than MGPI. There are very few independent "distilleries" selling real product, and the ones that do are pretty notable, and open about their limitations.

It might be helpful to think of most of the art you see as being part of a conversation. Various features or characteristics are a response to what came before. Seeing a painting without knowing the context it was created in is a bit like overhearing a sentence without hearing the rest of the conversation. Taking a guided tour or using one of those audio tours some museums have might help you with this.

Another thing to consider is that art isn't just paintings in a museum. It can be photographs, sculptures, architecture, images created on a computer and never printed, movies, music, etc. Maybe some other medium just matches your personality better.

If you think you really don't enjoy art you should check out Maurizio Cattelan. His work is pretty amusing and pokes fun at what people tend to think of as art.
Calling people out on nonsense isn't hatred.

"Black people are stupid, we need a white ethno-state" is hatred.

"You're wrong and your ideas are wrong" isn't hatred.

Calling people out on bad ideas is a necessary part of the discussion, to weed out bad ideas.
So instead of running through circuits that are stateless you'd run through circuits that are stateful. I don't see how this would assuredly reduce the total energy used.
Just to be clear for those coming to this after the fact: the reaction was not violent and immediate. Your comment was not nuanced. And it was very much not sensitive.

You attempted to claim that such overdoses are in part due to Reddit (and society in general) ostracizing neo-nazis and members of hateful groups. Not only is this just wrong, it implies that many affected by the crisis are members of such groups, which they are not (as someone who has a family member addicted to opioids I'm very annoyed by your comparison).

You just wanted to talk about your Neo-Nazi subreddits getting taken away and people called you out on it. Frankly, a Neo-nazi should be an outcast. A racist, sexist, etc should be excluded. And if they don't like that, then they should stop being a Nazi before turning to drugs.

Truly a remarkable story, well told.
I must have missed the tweets where Dougherty tried to destroy the career and livelihood of, say, Taylor Swift or Beyonce or Miley Cyrus.

In what universe does "a field that has problems with sexualizing women" mean the opening for criticism is on the women, not the problem of "the field"?

Dougherty needs to stop pretending he's a fit and appropriate person to lead or speak for a major company - and go learn a bit of respect and restraint. Right now his reputation is lingering around Jake Applebaum, Frank Artale, Dave McClure, and Harvey Weinstein.

I'd like to hope Tim O'Reilly realises the damage Dale's doing to the Make and Makerfaire brands, and reacts as well as 500 Startups and Ignition Ventures both (eventually) did... But, as you point out, we're in "a field that has problems with sexualizing women".
Saying the POTUS can't use twitter is not taking away their freedom of speech -- it's putting controls around what mediums they're allowed to exercise their freedom of speech. Kinda like how they're not supposed to run their own mail server.

Do you really think it's in the nations best interest that _Twitter_ is being treated as an official source of news from the POTUS?
I don't know too much about Raja Koduri, but is leaving AMD and immediately joining Intel not... really shady?

It could be resuscitated but it is unlikely without the backing of a major player.
One would assume that in the data center for discrete cards Intel would do something with their Nervana acquisition and HBM, or possibly (but less likely) MCDRAM.
It's not a point, it's an entire row of data with dozens of columns and JSON.

Even if the data took twice as much space, it's still worth it to have everything in a single data warehouse with easy joins and the full expressiveness of SQL.
In one post your criticism is that there is a lack of research, and I agree. But now you're making unsubstantiated claims again... the damage done to bitcoin? All meaningful metrics from BitPay's transaction volume [0] to on chain USD volume [1] to the price [2] shows that Bitcoin is doing fine and does not need saving. Public data shows that even though a fee market is developing, Bitcoin is still rising quickly in use and value.

As for the 1GB block research you're talking about, it was literally presented 5 days ago. S2X proposal started in May and the fork was planned for next week. The way we want this secure digital money thing to work is that proposals that are controversial or that may affect security are researched and the research is reviewed over many months or years.

I know you want to take the quick approach and just LOWER FEES NOW, but we know -- from experience -- that a cowboy attitude with blockchains makes it trivial to lose a lot of money [3].

Filecoin and sia are not proof of storage. They are both proof of work, in fact filecoin runs on Ethereum. Not sure about Storj or Maidsafe.
Going from autoscaling in EC2 (with a mix or RI for baseline load and spots for peak) to Lambdas has cut our service costs down by half. This is largely due to better utilization rates.
How is it shady to change jobs? This notion that you should be jobless for a period of time is ridiculous.
Intel has a both a large patent portfolio and a lot of legal firepower in that space, so no, I don't think folks like Nvidia will be able to "threaten" Intel with patents. Nvidia might be able to threaten them with the monopoly card (clearly Intel is using its dominance in desktops and laptops to move into an adjacent market) but they have been doing that for many years with the integrated GPUs so I would expect it to be a weak play.
Even without EU privacy laws, a variety of laws in the USA have made various organizations outside the US wary about storing data in the US.
Utilities have a considerable tax participation in municipal and state level governments. The infrastructure was definitely built with taxation, and there is a virtual monopoly of it.

Im not making an opinion about it being the best system or not, because i haven't looked at this topic at all, but its delusional to think there is no force in this application.

Just googling shows that for example, Florida has a mandate to be on the grid.
I’ve colocated servers for a long time and even though it’s counterintuitive, the price of power+kvm+bandwidth+rackspace is rarely less than the price of a managed dedicated server in the same data center.

intel once tried to do this with larrabee[0] some years back. hopefully they learn from what went wrong there.

I think some of the concern isn't so much over quality but diversity. Beer nerds almost necessarily like their beer esoteric, if not downright unpopular. If I really like a beer but know it doesn't have much of a market, I'd be worried if its producer got bought by someone who had a history of ramping up popular labels and killing off rarer, harder-to-market ones. Maybe when grocery stores had to go to micros to get enough fancy beer in their aisle they'd end up getting a Saison or two; now when they can just go to macro brewers they'll get a few IPAs and consider the aisle fancy enough.

I don't know much of a market is there is now or ever was for esoteric whiskey.
Isn't it primarily for receiving signals rather than sending them? Of course if we ever do receive a convincing signal that appears to come from extraterrestrials, it is nearly unthinkable that no one would send anything back in that direction, so I see your point.
Colocation is horror. You are responsible for replacing the HW if the magic smoke gets released. Nah. Just rent it. Not to mention capex vs opex.

Don't forget to add two 960GB U.2 NVMe drives. Those are expensive. For eg https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-... $831.60 apiece. Doubles the server price. Oh I forgot you picked a server which doesn't have hotswap NVMe bays...

Also that CPU is old and slow. It is the one before Sandy Bridge. I can't find the EPYC chip on the spec site but a roughly comparable Xeon:

Old: https://www.spec.org/cpu2006/results/res2011q2/cpu2006-20110...

New: https://www.spec.org/cpu2006/results/res2017q3/cpu2006-20170...

(yes, the latter is 2P so you'd need to halve it, it's still twice as fast)
they are companies directly competing...it is very possible AMD engineer could bring proprietary information to INTEL.
as in this literally recently happened and received massive press coverage with UBER and WAYMO- resulted in intense legal action.
I enjoy them, even in cases where I don't understand them, because I get a sense of setting the bar high, and that much is expected from me.
The interested parties on either side would have been better off buying pre-fork and selling the one they didn't want, rather than buying after the fork, even though the end result is the same. That is irrational.
Imagine a world where there is no corporate tax. Apple does a price analysis and decides the profix maximizing sales point of a phone is $1,000. They price the phone at $1,000.

Then, a 10% corporate income tax rate is put in place.

Does Apple raise the price of the phone to $1,100? Is that now the profit maximizing decision?

According to your claim "Ultimately, only people pay taxes," the answer is yes - Apple would immediately raise the price of the iPhone to offset the loss incurred by the new tax. Except that then, fewer people would buy iPhones. We already know that $1,100 is not the profit maximizing price point for a phone. So, the amount Apple would increase its price is a function of the price sensitivity of iPhone buyers.

This is a little tricky to explain, but khan academy has a video that explains it quite well.

When you reach that level in some company you don't really have any options for remaining in your field that don't appear to be pretty shady. It looks particularly bad because Intel is AMD's largest competitor but leaving to found a company in the same space, or leaving to join a smaller company in the same space has similar implications.
I claimed no such thing.

My point was solely "A certain subreddit got banned. Those people seem to have very few options, and maybe they were using it as a support group. They might turn to drugs now."

The reaction violent and immediate: within 5 minutes of posting the comment, you're now trying to imply some very strange things about me. You're even going so far as to "clarify" things for readers by posting something I did not say.

I'd like to end this conversation, because HN is optimized for good conversation and this isn't heading anywhere productive. Agreed?

I have a family member affected by a similar crisis, though thankfully not quite as intense. I'm sorry that the comparison annoyed you, but I was just searching for answers.
For general compute yes. But you still need to scale your persistent data stores. That is why AWS is investing in things like Aurora. Also you need to understand where to optimize on a cost basis by not just profiling code, but comparing costs, to usage, to performance gains in reduced resources needed.
That doesn't sound very similar to decimation. Stack ranking is picking and punishing the worst team members based on some system. Decimation was purely random.

Decimation was a system for BUILDING cohesion. You don't flee battle because you might be decimated. You don't let your comrades flee battle because you might be decimated. It's for when you want to severely punish a collective group of people but can't afford to hurt them all.

Stack ranking is the opposite. You are actively competing against your colleagues. You are incentivized for your colleagues to fail.
It rarely is cheaper and better quality. What if its more expensive, and worse quality, do you get to skip paying the taxes that went into it?

In the moral sense, you've been ripped off if that happens and you have no recourse, and the only thing that was maximized was the good of the public servant, not of the public.

Lets not forget that the monopoly cable and internet companies have has a huge collaboration from the State itself.
I must have expressed myself poorly. He's coming from AMD/RTG, everything he knows is presumably what they use/own.
Nothing to do with NVIDIA
what a coup this was.

Raja: "I'm...um...going on sabbatical."
Lisa (CEO): "OK."
Intel: "We're hiring Raja!!..."
Lisa: "WTF".
This is what we call Propaganda, my friend.
There already is delegated prove of stake algorithms that solves the power consumption problem.
That's not recreational use.
My view is CUDA has already won, and everyone else needs to get over it. Even clang supports PTX now, which is a reasonably device agnostic representation, albeit controlled mostly by Nvidia. Perhaps intel will introduce their own extensions to this ISA.

Even if my precompiled CUDA application could run on Intel GPUs at 50% of the throughput, I'd be happy if I could later tweak and recompile it to get the full benefits from their hardware.
I mean Koduri did skip the whole step of immediately founding a company with almost nothing, which would be purchased in short order for a ridiculous sum of money, and have it then come out that he had met with the CEO of Intel on several occasions prior to this. The entire deal seems much more out in the open and above board.
OOLA is the only one that springs to mind -- but I could be mistaken, I'm partly relying on their marketing. (Which I mention in hopes you will correct me if I am.)

Edit:

Dry Fly used to be smaller and ship some of their stuff from the other side of the state over, so I also count them. Again, please correct me if I'm wrong!

For more background on why we've got a dope problem, check out this LA Times piece on Oxycontin's 12-hour Problem:

http://www.latimes.com/projects/oxycontin-part1/
Larrabee was an attempt to see if the x86 architecture could power a GPU. The answer was "not very likely", but it got turned into a product of its own anyways because it turned out to be very interesting for other compute-heavy use-cases. Larrabee's descendents became "Knights", which became the Xeon Phi product line.

Keep in mind Intel currently builds GPUs - just of the integrated variety. What's new here is that Intel is deciding to build discrete (standalone, like those you'd plug into a PCIe port) GPUs.
Another acquisition model is what Goose Island did when they sold to ABI. As I understand it, they outsourced production of their less differentiated offerings like Honkers Ale and 312, but continue to run their brewpub and make their Bourbon County Stout and Belgian beers like Matilda and Sofie. You see this in some other industries, where a company will spin off or sell businesses that aren't its "secret sauce".

That said, Filecoin does use some form of proof of storage:

Again, this is my point. Any time there is an overabundance of straight white males, and only straight white males, discrimination is presumed, with no actual evidence to suggest that these groups are equal in every task.

You wouldn't argue that there are not systematic differences in physical performance between these various groups, but somehow cognitive performance, which is even more strongly influenced by environment and upbringing, is not allowed to be examined objectively.
