I had failure with business for about 2 years before the first exit. There was a chain of events from my first business failure to my actual first business win... I learned actual gritty sales skill on the first failure, and met with my partner who admired my persistence and research.

We had a lot of bad ideas, but we pivoted the core gradually towards something that worked. My first idea and the final product had nothing at all in common, except for being in the food industry.

That same idea was acquired by a team with far more resources, better skills, more experience, better market and timing... but it didn't work because the new team wasn't focused enough. The only major difference was the amount of energy put into it.

The foundation of it is really just building something that someone wants. As long as you stick to that foundation, you will continue to build upon something of value. As long as you build something of value, you have an asset, that can be sold to the right buyer.

Ah okay right this is the answer. Previous approaches [1] are deep generative models that you have to optimize for each input, whereas here you run just a forward evaluation on a model that you've trained beforehand.

I would still argue the term closed-form is misleading here, because:

- Even during training at any given time you can read off a "closed-form expression" of the neural network of this type, so closed-form in this broad sense really doesn't mean much. Furthermore any result of any numerical computation ever are also closed-form solutions according to this, on the grounds that they result from a computation that completed in finite number of steps. So really whenever you ask a grad student to run some numerical simulation expect them to come back saying "Hey I found a closed-form expression!"

- The reason the above is absurd is that these trained NN's aren't really solutions to the optimization problem, but approximations. So this is really saying I have a problem, I don't know how to solve it but I can produce a infinite sequence of approximations. Now I'm gonna truncate this sequence of approximations, and call this a closed form solution.

The analogy in highschool math would be computing an infinite sum that doesn't converge, but now let's instead just add to some large N, and call this a closed-form solution.

The other nice benefit, that Google has only recently added, is they have data about the speed limits on the road you're travelling on, which can be a godsend in certain circumstances.

My favourite "how many" joke goes like this:
"How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? One, but lightbulb need to want to change".
And there is a saying: "one man can lead the horse to the water, but even forty cannot make it drink".

The point being: yes, there are people who "should be helping", but the key word is "helping". The kid should put some effort too.

I find that attitude that everyone around is to blame except the one in the middle quite dangerous. It teaches not to be responsible for your own actions (or inaction).

We had a president a few years back, whose long lasting infamous contribution to the society was the catchphrase "I am not responsible, the environment is".

He was impeached. Let's not raise more like him.

I think you're underestimating how much hacking was required to get Model S into production, and how much that causes the design to generally feel cheap. Changing suppliers over and over, rushing new designs to solve problems in other systems, that kind of stuff leads to subtle incompatibilities in the overall architecture.

Model S is basically a V1 car. Audi has made a dozen generations of vehicles, each time getting another chance to refine the design.

The Model 3 is a big leap forward in fit and finish, albeit in a simpler design, without "premium" flourishes.

The next gen Model S will be Tesla's first real foray into designing a serious premium interior on purpose, with experience. It'll be interesting to see how it does.

> Over time, though, version pinning builds up technical debt. You have software locked to old unmaintained versions of packages.

If you are talking about open source, it is not a problem: anyone can upgrade dependencies and make a pull request. Without version pinning, the project will always be in a "broken" state.

For example, recently I tried to run Firefox 3.5 on linux and it crashed with modern versions of gobject libraries although they are supposed to be backwards-compatible. I wish Debian package manager allowed to install an old version of a library specially for this application.

Dubai is a horrible place to be a pedestrian, at least the areas I briefly visited. Everything is at a huge scale so the distances are extreme, and obviously the climate doesn't help at all.

The sequential programming by default is because most people think sequential by default.

Even though claims of multi-tasking etc persist, the truth is good parallel programmers are a rare thing.

Many ordinary programmers already get into Hot-Water when they use two threads and access data where a Semaphore might be needed.

In addition many algorithms are sequential, so parallelizing them is tricky or gives you no true reward due to cross-thread communication. Add to that the OO-Software Structures that subtle encourage using sequential programming.

I think the future in parallel-programming is actually hiding the parallel programming completely - accept the fact that most humans are not made for it, allow for experts to unlock the ability to override that behavior- let compilers go as far as they can and live with the results.

It will suffer the same fate as functional programming. Really useful, but never dominant, due to limitations in the applying humans.

Just a bunch of stuff that interestes me, and presumably interest people with a similar mindset as mine.
But in general, professionals, including those who would study autism, would believe that acutely uneven school performance is the suspicious and peculiar phenomena, as opposed to general all-around performance. Rather, children who do well in school do well across subjects, and children who do mediocre in school do mediocre across subjects, and children who do poorly do poorly all around.

The 60 mV/dec limit applies to all materials, not just silicon. Beating it will require a fundamentally different type of operation. Agree that changes in materials will require massive investment and learning.
A really powerful outworking of it is seen in the Rayon crate, where you can change a sequential iterator into a parallel iterator just by adding the crate, importing the trait and changing `iter` to `par_iter`. If it’s not thread-safe to do, then it won’t compile. (That’s the big difference from C++.) If it is, it will, and it’ll be smart about how it runs, spreading the load across all available cores pretty much optimally, or not bothering with multiple threads if it’s not going to be worth it (e.g. single-threaded, or only one item in the iterator). And all that with close enough to no overhead.

Basically, Rayon makes data parallelism really easy in a way that few if any other languages do. I’d love to have an equivalent in Python or Node, but it’s just not possible to achieve such a thing in most languages—even if you ignore the thread safety aspect.

Parallelism hasn’t seen a great deal of use until it’s urgently needed, because it’s hard to get right in most environments, and you normally need to substantially refactor code to make it happen. My hope is that with the likes of Rayon, parallelism can be a much more natural thing that people that care even a little about performance will just do, because it’s so easy to do.

You would first need to achieve equality of opportunity, which is not the current starting point.

You can't ignore that we come from a culture with a tradition of 60+ centuries of male-favouring sexism and patriarchy, which has not vanished merely because of a theoretical solution to it (legal equality) has been formally declared. There's a lot of social inertia introducing biases in the opportunities available to women.

You can take into account mating preferences all you want, but how do those affect choices of job positions other than very indirectly? On the other hand, irrational prejudices in recruitment and career advancement processes have a direct impact on the quality of job positions that women have access to, and therefore in their opportunities. Unless you're downright denying that such prejudices exist, this cultural factor would have a larger influence than biology.

It looks like the modern scientific framework just doesn't scale well. With paper output so great, it's nearly impossible for a researcher to sift through the haystack. Researchers resort to reading the papers from known groups only, which filters out most of the fluff, but perhaps leaves meaningful works from outsiders unnoticed.
Why do you think that web businesses are complaining about AMP but not the users? I'm yet to see a user that's not happy with AMP.

The web community acts as if the users are a commodity like oil and Google just made a change in its flow and now begging Google to make it flow like before to accommodate their business setup and promising that from now on they will be nicer to the commodity and store it in golden barrels.

I just don't buy it.
guys, I'll be honest: I found it really odd that the article didn't talk about the speed of light, and die size constraints. (c / 4 ghz = 7.49 cm only, if you double that frequency you have half that size to put components it between any two clock ticks.)

But there are limits to my hubris - this is on intel.com, so I'm going to go with "I'm the one missing something". Is the speed of light and number of transistors you can put in that path (due to die size) just not a practical constraint? Neither is mentioned.
BLOGGER VS WORDPRESS
Unfortunately it requires more than just a change of language, it requires a change in mode of thinking by developers. People are very used to reasoning in terms of "do X, then Y, then Z" or "compute a value X then do A or B on the basis of that". In order to achieve automatic parallelism you need e.g. a type+proof system that can determine that X/Y/Z are independent, or a system that can partially execute both A and B then retire the branch not taken - without invoking security bugs!
