If a million people are upset with the practices of a million companies, each company loses a customer and nothing changes. If the million people concentrate on a single company, that company notices. And when the next company tries the same shenanigans, they can be reminded about what happened to the first once. That's a bigger when for society than spreading out the protests.
Actually, the list is quite extensive. I called out Sun mainly because it is a class above Google and Facebook. Also, Sun contributed significantly more than just Java: Solaris (one of the first widely used kernels that had containers), SPARC, VirtualBox, OpenOffice, ZFS. I think it's really sad that people have forgotten the contributions of the first-generation of large computer companies. I rank Sun Microsystems with the likes of Microsoft and Apple.

Also, other than Google or Facebook, I can't mention any company of that size founded by Harvard or Stanford Alums (in the computation industry at least). Can you?

Other examples BTW are Cirrus Logic, Zoho, Infosys, etc.
Column editing? That was in a shareware text editor that I wrote for Windows in the mid 90s and I didn't invent it.
I'm not certain- I too chose the spreadsheet life, but am a space nerd. Someone correct me where I'm wrong!

I think it has to do with the number of black holes that would be required, the rate that black holes evaporate naturally(?), and our current best theories of the history and mechanisms of the universe. Like maybe in a universe where all these black holes form, we wouldn't expect to see [something we definitely do see]. So you need to adjust more variables to make that fit the puzzle, but now more things we do see don't make sense.

It's a bit like a big Sudoku, but with way more constraints!

In my experience, getting employees to collaborate is harder part with such tools. Second road block is with access rights.

It probably won't. For every oppressive move NVDA has made so far, there has been a swarm of low-information technophobe MBA sorts who eat their computational agitprop right up, some of them even fashion themselves as data scientists. More likely, NVDA continues becoming the Oracle of AI that everyone needs and everyone hates.
IANAL, but I‘m pretty sure it is acceptable to delete data within 30 days of receiving a request to do so.
Maybe we're seeing an awakening that's different from previous episodes.

Just like people woke up about tobacco use, high-fructose carbonated beverages, and workplace sexual abuse, maybe we're at a cultural inflection point with Facebook.

Facebook will soon require 500 million people to consent to a long list of new terms and conditions to comply with GDPR. There will be no option to decline the new terms, only "accept and continue". What if 5% of users don't accept?

That doesn't sound like much, but that 5% is probably the most media savvy and influential cohort on the platform. 5% defection could be a big deal in continuing the awakening.

What if 25% of the people who remain with Facebook don't feel as good using it any more, and they use it 25% less. That's another 6% of activity and engagement that evaporates, making the platform less "sticky" for everyone.

Just like positive network effects amplified Facebook's importance, negative network effects could cascade into tectonic changes in how people use social media.

No, most people won't delete it completely. Facebook will be with us for many years.

But if I owned Facebook shares, I'd be worried.
> You have to keep learning.

This is where people either fail or succeed. Want to spend the weekends with your kids riding horses and not working on your skills? That's fine, but it will affect your ability to be hired. It's not "we're not hiring you because you're old" it's "we're not hiring you because you don't keep your skills modern."

Find a happy median. I'm 34 and started in this field when I was 12. I've seen it for most of my life. I have zero fears of being 40 and not getting work unless I get detached from it and start focusing on other things.

I was a sysadmin for a long time, I was a network engineer for a long time. Now I work on kubernetes. I've had to change my "field" multiple times to stay current and employable.

And please don't send me a resume with 20 years of random-old-tech-stuff on it unless it relates to what we're doing.
The range of heights is quite constrained to architecture. So 16 bit integers in meters would save half the data over floats. Then your bitmap of heights could have compression applied. A whole flat roof or road would be very compressible. Trees would be the worst.
They only have delays from their CEO's promises. Had he set expectations more realistically the stock might not be such a roller coaster and deposit holders would have had more accurate estimates.

The same reason stars or planets don't collide for billions of years. Space is mostly empty and heads-on collisons are rare.

So objects usually need to be captured into mutual orbit first via 3-body interactions and then slowly move closer to each other via further perturbations or gravitational waves.

It's a nice idea in theory, but does anyone honestly believe Facebook would stop collecting, analyzing and sharing your data just because you paid them?

Sure you might not have any ads displayed to you, but that's not a privacy concern anyways since Facebook doesn't provide user data directly to advertisers anyways; they just allow them to use a set of filters that rely on your data to help target ads.

Not to mention the latest privacy concerns with Facebook really have nothing to do with advertising, and more to do with their lack of reliable security with your data (ie the Cambridge Analytica data leak, which was done via an app).

The only way I'd truly trust that my data isn't a product in and of itself is if I'm paying for a service from day one, and there are no "free" accounts period.
Shhh we don't want the brass knowing that.
Apartments will probably eventually offer electric charging. It's a small investment, and they can turn it into an additional revenue stream (which they love) and/or can advertise it as an amenity that sweetens the deal of leasing there.

However, will they plenty of charging stations, so that you never have to worry about moving your car so someone else can charge? That seems doubtful. I suppose they could allow a monthly lease of a reserved charging station, though.
Yeah but film has grain and at one point your resolution becomes finer than the grains. At that time you know new technologies won't bring much more precision.

Now if the support is in poor conditions, perhaps the technologies mentioned in the other posts are worth considering. But if it is a tape or film stored in decent condition, it is unlikely that future techniques will add much to current ones.
Support for specialized CPU functions won't happen and doesn't make sense.

However, it is quite feasible to emulate, on a GPU, a networked group of a general purpose CPUs( ie, run MIMD[1] programs on SIMD[2] architecture). This, MOG[3], has been a project of Henry G. Dietz of the University of Kentucky. Unfortunately, the project seems to have stalled at a "rough" level. He claims that he can run MIMD programs at 1/4 efficiency while also running SIMD programs at near full efficiency. His video is instructive [4].

Edit: Note that this isn't intended for deep learning applications as such but rather for traditional supercomputing applications (weather prediction, other physics simulations ,etc).

Which sends the stronger signal: deleting the account or just never logging in again?

I haven't visited Facebook since I removed it from my Firefox start page a couple months ago. I was visiting it out habit but getting so little value that just having to type the URL in is too high a barrier for me to visit now.

Is it worth the effort to log back in and actually delete the account?
The article states:

>"LeCun and other scholars of machine learning know that if you were starting with a blank sheet of paper, an Nvidia GPU would not be the ideal chip to build. Because of the way machine-learning algorithms work, they are bumping up against limitations in the way a GPU is designed. GPUs can actually degrade the machine learning’s neural network, LeCun observed.

“The solution is a different architecture, one more specialized for neural networks,” said LeCun."

Could someone explain to me what exactly are the limitations of current GPGUs such as those sold by Nvidia when used in machine learning/AI contexts? Are these limitation only experienced at scale? Ff someone has resources or links they could share regarding these limitations and better designs I would greatly appreciate it.

Pressing home doesn't always put you at the true beginning of the line. It will put you at the first non-whitespace character.
EVs don't have to replace ICE cars over night. Many people never drive long distance but commute every day. There will be a number of years where we have time to improve charging infrastructure. IMHO chargers for people in cities that don't have a garage are more important than superchargers next to highways.
Wow, this must be pretty common. I compiled Bootstrap recently and it download 250 MiB worth of node modules which consisted of 969 dependencies, and 11673 JS files.
While I agree prisons are overused, making it a purely economical matter means it's just another investment. Benefit if you get away with it vs risk of getting caught. You have to be pretty draconian to make no one take that risk.

Banning people from an activity is also hard. They can just take a position where they advise others who will make such decisions, or other loopholes.

Jail time may not be the answer, and we clearly do a bad job of making these acts a financial risk (not to mention preventing recurrence), so your suggestion is undoubtedly an improvement over current day, but I don't think we can stop there. (Not that I have better ideas yet)

Do people think that nobody at nVidia has ever heard of specialized deep learning processors?

1. Volta GPUs already have little matmul cores, basically a bunch of little TPUs.

2. The graphics dedicated silicon is an extremely tiny portion of the die, a trivial component (source: Bill Dally, nVidia chief scientist).

3. Memory access power and performance is the bottleneck (even in the TPU paper), and will only continue to get worse.
I think this is the beginning of the end for Facebook as we know it

It depends on how you count headers, but yes.

Multimedia containers, while too complicated, don't really qualify for a position on that list. These containers are basically just special purpose file containers, and thus the headers of the "files" within should not contribute to the header count.

deb/rpm is also a good example for old and quite obnoxious formats. Deb is an AR archive of two GZIP compressed TAR archives (control and data) and a single file (debian-binary). TAR replaced AR for all but a few ancient tasks long ago, but for some reason, Deb uses both. A tar.gz with 3 files/folders that were not tar'd or compressed would have been much simpler. I believe RPM goes that route, but rather than TAR they use CPIO, and rather than embedding the metadata inside the archive, the RPM package has its own header.

Both RPM and DEB have given support for using a bunch of compression formats, meaning that not only do the content of the DEB/RPM package have dependencies, but there each package can now basically end up having its own dependencies that need to be satisfied before you can even read the package in the first place. Oh, and one of the supported compression formats is XZ now, adding an extra dependency as your version of XZ might not support the contained XZ archive at all.

You're talking about you and your opinions.

For a given task, random programmers are quicker at achieving the goal with dynamic programming languages. That's why scripting languages are popular. They are also easier to learn.

No, you should not delete Facebook.

Not because it's not a good response to recent events, but because it's like fighting climate change with conserving energy at home; primarily a token gesture that will change little (mainly due to not enough people ever doing it).

If you actually feel strongly about this, do something about it. I have been setting up a Diaspora* pod for my friends (and exploring the similar https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/), have been trying to be active on Minds.com (social media is one place crypto may actually make sense, but the community is tiny and highly toxic as is), supporting the idea of a paid-model for FB, and generally thinking about this. Facebook is a powerful tool that is best used to do these more productive things to help create a viable alternative - leaving Facebook is not going to change anything.

I also own the domain name hnsocial.club , and have been wanting to try and setup a Diaspora/Scuttlebutt pod to try and get the HN community to embrace it so the network effects of a large community being on such a platform are felt. I don't have much time for this (I am a PhD student at Stanford), but if you think this might be a good idea get in touch to collaborate!
What Good Is ‘Community’ When Someone Else Makes All the Rules?
Never overestimate the intelligence of the decision makers at big bureaucratic tech companies. Also, it is not in the best interest of any of them to be reliant on NVDA or any other single vendor for any critical workload whatsoever. Doubly not so for NVDA's mostly closed source and haphazardly optimized libraries.

All that said, Bill Daly rocks, and NVDA is a hardened target. But the DL frameworks have enormous performance holes once one stops running Resnet-152 and other popular benchmark graphs in the same way that 3DMark performance is not necessarily representative of actual gaming performance unless NVDA took it upon themselves to make it so.

And since DL is such a dynamic field (just like game engines), I expect this situation to persist for a very, very long time.

Well if Publix knows that depends on whether you use cash or card at sexy shops ;-)

As for the rest, that just depends on how much you share, and I would argue that other companies (like Google) might know even more than Facebook does.

I've also created Facebook campaigns for clients and there was no way to target cheating husbands, just very broad interests.

That is why I say it is not black and white.

In Europe we've had both social and liberal goverments.

None of them one-sided radicals. The same in the US.

If you ask me, I like a very thin and light weight state, with some regulations, and tweaks/adjustments over time to adapt to the current reality. But not one big dady that controls everything. The less the state is involved, the better.

Anyway, this is a never ending debate. IMO it doesn't lead to anything new. In the end, probably a compromise between the two models is best. Yes, I belive in solidarity too.

I don't reject all aspects of communism. All I say is that "communism as a drop in solution" is a (very) bad idea. For starters, just look at recent history. Yes, I know excuses can be made and arguments about external agents interfering in USSR/China/Cuba/NK et all.

With the specific example of taxing robots, I just think is a very unfair and bad idea. Yes, something needs to be done. But a company that replaces workers withs robots is going to reduce costs hence making more profit. Hence paying more taxes. It's taken into account already.
Also, a fundamental problem arises. What is a robot? A computer is a robot. Every chip in the computer is a robot. This would be a very unfair model and a very inexact one leading to all kind of problems.

I don't know. I just find the idea of blaming and taxing the companys using technology to be more productive very unfair and I would say even childish.
If we're talking about efficience, I would argue that concentrating on letting governments know would be even better. Facebook knows that regular users have no idea about privacy and it would take years to lose a big enough portion of users to even matter.
A better comparison to Durant's amazing entrepreneurship as auto manufacturing scaled would be Steve Jobs.

You're deeply mistaken. Unions would be immediately fired if they were operating in a free market. Their power depends entirely on laws that restrict the contracting freedom of the employer.

For instance, the law prohibits an employer from firing workers for unionizing, or firing unionized workers for striking.

It forces employers to engage in collective bargaining when a union forms and demands it. This mandate to collectively bargain includes a prohibition on the employer negotiating individually with employees that would prefer individual negotiations.

It is due to these laws that union members get above market wages.

I doubt they will if they have to pay for it. Apartment complexes, in my experience, hardly retrofit anything. The RE market is so messed up that complexes don’t have to do much of anything to increase their rent. What was there at time of build (be that the 1980s or 90s) is what you’re likely to get.

What the US needs is a political desire for New Deal type programs. Work still sucks outside of 2-4 (?) metropolis areas. Probably a large infrastructure project could get charging stations to the masses at the apartment level, and not much else.

One exception though could be a vast surge in oil prices. We’re talking 7$/gallon.

What do these models say about behavior around shared tasks?
