> As with the original benchmark, I set up a Docker container containing the deep learning frameworks (based on cuDNN 6, the latest version of cuDNN natively supported by the frameworks) that can be used to train each model independently. The Keras benchmark scripts run on the containers are based off of real world use cases of deep learning.

Can someone who is knowledgeable about docker (and container performance in general) comment on how using a docker instance impacts benchmark performance?

I understand containers are not virtual machines, but my preference would be for a benchmark run on bare metal without containerization involved. In particular, it’s not clear to me whether a container can take advantage of the same CPU and GPU instruction optimizations that a binary or compiled-from-source version can. For example, I’m curious if containers package redundant versions of software for convenience that are underoptimized when compared to versions packaged with the operating system. Is that a realistic concern?

In other words, is there generally a meaningful downside to benchmarking with containers, and if so what is it? And equally importantly, are containers the way most people use deep learning frameworks? I have never installed Tensorflow or Keras using a container.

Aside from the topic at hand, this question shows a great deal of
ignorance about how laws are written.

It's not like there's some independent agency or submission process
where people can submit completed bills, which'll only get picked up or
not depending on special interests. So we could somehow review the
difference between laws that got picked up and passed v.s. those who
didn't as some check on corruption.

Rather, the laws don't get written to begin with if they don't align
with special interests, that's how pervasive they are.
The JS version is slow in Firefox because of a silly perf cliff, I filed a bug [0]. A quick fix for that improves the JS version from ~400 ms to ~180 ms for me locally. ~140 ms if I disable the Nightly-only GC poisoning.

edit: the JS code is a bit buggy: it does |if (Math.abs(dblDiscriminant) < 0.01)| in the |intersection| function, but dblDiscriminant is a var set in the next loop! Math.abs(undefined) is something we can easily optimize in the JIT, but really the JS code is broken. Folding this in our JIT [1] improves this to < 130 ms for me.

Please let us know if you run into JS perf problems, these bugs are usually easy to fix.

Does Opera still do the thing where the new tab page contains sponsored links, and if you try and edit the source for that page it refuses to start because it'll only accept a new tab page with an Opera digital signature?
Let me propose an experiment: fire up wire shark and start your favourite browser and revel in the boatload of encrypted traffic that gets phoned home on startup.

Now turn off updates, telemetry and a bunch of other built in features and do the same with Mozilla: the tcp connections out of your system are zero, nada. You can literally turn off everything.
It's entirely unreasonable to pay that much, especially when you haven't validated it yourself.
>> Since then, I have heard one professor who witnessed the incident openly lament that he’ll have to find a way to delicately advise his female students on “how not to get raped by S” so as not to lose promising students.

Everyone in Mozilla management has to go.

Mozilla again needs to be about a browser not about making money.

I am reading a book about management “a sense of emergency” by John P. Kotter, and weirdly I think it’s also an excellent book for self development to improve grit and reduce procastination.
Do you think you perhaps pushed too far too fast, and that a slower pace might work better? Or that the circumstances were not well suited to support "pushing through" at that time?

I'm genuinely curious here. I also empathize with the struggle you have experienced. Sometimes I'm not sure how hard I should push myself, or when I need to first repair or strengthen my foundations.
Amazon has a habit of removing reviews if they contain words like counterfeit. This is likely due to the issue of counterfeit items on Amazon and intermingling of goods between vendors including Amazon itself.
I don't think people have much problems with Pocket itself, especially now that it's owned by Mozilla, it was mostly about it being a default addon. I don't personally mind it, since it's a lot better than just having a full bookmarks bar, but can see why some people would.
Amazon will never do something to fix this problem. Fake goods and garbage products that break almost immediately after delivery are their bread and butter. They need those fake reviews to sell a huge percentage of their merchandise. They would much rather just close accounts of the people who complain or whose shopping habits their algorithms don't like.
I appreciate your sentiment, but many other people are wanting to know why there has not been significant punishment levied for the sins of the past.
Are you joking? People propose laws all the time. Maybe not in the specific legislative language that you need before you actually pass a bill, but certainly the general idea. Journalists do it. Think tanks do it. Advocacy organizations do it. Even regular people do it. Haven't you ever heard someone say "There should be a law against that!" ?
Actually an application being able to update itself is a security issue and terrible design. Strictly speaking it should have only have write access to say its cache files and a directory where you store downloads.

Its also moronic to have a different update policy per app that is achieved in 35 different UIs.

This is the norm on windows because they were late to the party as far as a central source of software and further managed to make it an unattractive proposition and didn't get much buy in from developers.

Totally aside from the implicit security issue the ui flow is also terrible. Either each of 35 different apps runs their own update checker process in the background wasting your resources and prompting you at annoying times or when you run an app one out of n times it will prompt you to update whereupon you will ultimately have to stop doing whatever you were actually doing and let it update itself and restart.

It is truly amazing that people not only put up with this ridiculous situation but defend this as a feature.

Your system should periodically on a schedule you set update every piece of software you own and never bother you otherwise.

If the yardstick for Mozilla's mission is how fast they can make a browser, why do we need Mozilla? There are arguably better equipped entities doing that.

Their whole mission is to have better judgement and management, advocating for the user instead of a corporation (or foundation). So it sounds like you're in agreement with the GP that Mozilla's decay is not news.

By pay off mortgages, do you mean essentially giving free houses to people (e.g. rewarding them for making incredibly poor choices and financing homes they can't afford)? Or do you mean pay them off temporarily and have those people pay the government back?

Clang 5 in a Docker container for C++17
Exactly. I'm totally fed up with this "Mozilla is a good company at heart" contrary to every evidence (letting FF slip b/c of all the side projects, Pocket, now this).
I agree. When I was in political activism circles we made CDs and pamphlets and such which we would sell during events. We charged maybe $5 for a CD, a low price, but not zero; we found that if people paid for the material they valued it more, rather than just tossing it aside. I feel this analogy holds some weight in regard to working on open source as well. People don't have to give you much, but if they give something, especially if it's regular, as on Patreon, they'll feel invested into it, and _you_ will feel more serious about it as well. It's a two way signal: that you're investing your time, energy and enthusiasm, and your patrons are thanking you for it.
Per my anthropology class in college, about 10 percent of men and women answered “yes” to a question like “have you cheated on your partner in the last year?”

It’s a little inhumane to make individual men responsible for the weight of western civilization’s treatment of women when they’re trying to do right by their partners. I determined years ago that I’m some combination of unwilling or unable to maintain monogamous relationships, so I stopped making that commitment. Even without that constraint, being romantically engaged with people is at best distracting and at worst destructive, and so structure my life so as to avoid engendering those feelings. When I spend time with members of the sex I find attractive, I inevitably want to escalate.

It’s my unsubstantiated conjecture that this is why traditional societies had separate gender roles. Same sex groups take so much less emotional energy.

> Unethical but not a crime. Except for some cases of misselling products, banks playing against the customer etc. Bailout was.

I've never understood the argument that betting against your customers should be illegal. If you're buying something from me then I think that selling it is better than buying it and you think that buying it is better than selling it.
People also do this with drop shipping.

They'll scrape products from X and list them on Y for cost+markup then drop ship. Even if they use thin margins coupon codes and promotions from a customer rewards program do a lot of offset the occasional return that you can't pass up the line or order that happens after a price hike but before your scraping software can catch up.

If you have a discount you can use that to undercut your competition and appear high up when people sort by price. You get a X% coupon code for some product from Y then scrape Y's online store and relist it on Z for retail less X plus your margin and costs. Fraudulently purchased gift cards can also be monetized through web scraping and drop shipping.

When the cost difference is negligible I prefer to buy from drop shippers rather than have my payment info and PII sitting around in yet another database waiting to be stolen.
a) It was rolled out appearing as a normal plugin, out of the blue, without the additional context information, so many people assumed it's malware. Don't make your users panic for no good reason.

b) It's using a mechanism intended for helping improve the browser to roll out advertisements. Even those that were aware of the studies did consent to Mozilla pushing out changes to help them study improvements, they did not consent to Mozilla using this permission to roll out ads.

c) For many users, this is the first time they realize Firefox has these things turned on by default, instead of them being opt-in. Opt-in for unnecessary data collection is privacy design 101, privacy being a large part of Mozilla's advertising. (The ad in specific does not collect data, but the mechanisms it directed attention to do)

d) Mozilla running advertisements for a Comcast-owned product is somewhat at odds with #NetNeutrality messages.
A Clarification
There's plenty of scrub land available.
Unfortunately all goods at Amazon are intermingled including those Amazon itself ships. The only exception is companies who specifically pay not to do so in which case you lose access to prime shipping.
as other said it's math tradition, your point about "open" fear is valuable though, you'd have to trust people not to scatter bits of defintion but well it's never a real problem.

About style, after a while spent reading about FP, I just can't solve problems without it.

Most of my code quickly ends up in lines of

which then gets translated on whatever language I end up writing (javascript, java, emacs lisp ..)

Whats all the hate for Pocket anyway?

Isn't it just like the Reading List feature of Safari (or other Browsers) only more open (syncs with various devices, even some eBook readers which I think is quite nice).

I don't know how to fool myself like that. Whenever I say to myself "just one more", there's a voice that tells me "cut the crap, it's a trick, after that there'll again be just one more, and just one more, and just one more". The problem is, that voice is actually right. If it's really just one more, what difference would it make if I stop already? And if it isn't just one more, then why obey a liar?
Freedom from Choice? (2015)
Absolutely. High-milage fleets turn over every three years. The Toyota Prius became popular with taxi drivers very rapidly. As soon as the economic advantage is real and large enough, the switchover will be quick.

There will then be a long tail of lower-milage users swapping over gradually, and a small chunk of resisters and nostalgists driving manual petrol vehicles because they like it or have the same "beater" for 20 years and don't want to change.
I am actually very sad IceWeasel has been discontinued. We the people really need a community-maintained reasonably up-to-date no-nonsence (without hidden extensions built-in, proprietary stuff hard-coded, legacy features (like Java plug-in - my government still requires me to use it!) force-disabled, random stuff testing etc.) version of Firefox IMHO.

I'm not sure whether Chronos is still in production. In comparison to this chronos is large (it is significantly larger that you would expect from the pictures) and it's radio capabilities are limited (not to mention that it does not have keyboard ;))

Mozilla's CMO already defended their behavior in a statement to Gizmodo [1], claiming in effect that the malware they silently injected into people's browsers didn't harm people's privacy, and thus was OK. Mozilla's CMO believes that Mozilla did nothing fundamentally wrong.

That shows a cultural disconnect between Mozilla's management and Firefox users.

Privacy is one important feature, but trust is what was violated here.

Well, the new version of slavery was widespread credit - a continuum rather than discrete, with every interaction being a purported choice of assent (easy) or rejection (hard). The big-picture trend is clear, yet we mostly cling to the self-lie that we've voluntarily accepted this system.

The commercial surveillance enabling this has been with us a long time, long enough that people working in that industry casually refer to their databases' keys as a person's identity! The recent innovations in commercial surveillance just make it harder to run away and start fresh, while enabling more efficient extraction through fine-grained price discrimination.
