It wasn't until recently that Dell and HP were offering fully tested EPYC servers in their server lines. Many IT professionals were complaining that EPYC was simply unavailable from their suppliers last year.

The typical server-farm waits for OEMs to make well-tested complete machines. So it won't be till this year that EPYC even has a chance to make it to your typical serverroom setup.
Yes, over the years it has become more of a subconcious thing rather than having to say it. Like you, if I know I have to be up at a time, I get up by myself.

Detour: The Next Chapter
Fascinating that Keller was essentially brought in to stop gap Tesla's loss / end of relationship with Mobileye who previously supplied the EyeQ3 chipset that was the core of Tesla's autopilot.

At the time speculation was the CEO of Mobileye was uncomfortable in how Tesla pushed the limits of autopilot marketing and use (1) - they had always defined EyeQ3 as a "eyes on" technology (2).

And then last year Intel paid ~$15b to buy out mobileye (3) which gave them an immediate and broad entry into one of the most exciting chipset markets.

Keller moving over to Intel with the resources of mobileye, and a vision forged from executing Tesla's own efforts seems like a considerable coup for Intel.

Invalid for tournament play, certainly, but between two kids for playground bragging rights, not invalid if the people playing the game agree beforehand.
The architectures are so radically different that I don't think it makes sense to try to compare anything but the whole system performance. Trying to do a 1 to 1 comparison for a core or a chip becomes pretty nebulous because the architectures are radically different.

This is simply false for any reasonable definition of "massive," especially anything relative.

I am aware the problems in China are large, and different. I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. The USA also has an immediate existential crisis right now when it comes to pollution. To deny that is exactly how we got into such a disaster in the first place.

> Ya, it eventually kills the planet, but it doesn’t effect immediate quality of life.

I disagree with everything I am. It does immediately affect quality of life. For one, changing climate in the Bay Area and in Colorado locally is a result of changing global climates. These affect people, crops, plants, animals, everything, immediately.

Personally, my quality of life has been dramatically reduced for 30 years due to global warming and climate change from local carbon outputs. To suggest otherwise is extremely close minded and offensive.

Growing up in world and being told it is totally wrecked for generations, told that the greed of our parents' generation and before that has ravaged the Earth so completely that problems are spiralling out of control and life will be increasingly hard and complicated for people all over the world for a long time. Being told that hundreds of millions of people will be low on food due to changing climate patterns, that this is already happening, that there are droughts and wars fought over this already.

> but it doesn’t effect immediate quality of life.

Yes it does. People have died. Please be more considerate and understanding of the immense damage caused by greed and greenhouse gas pollution that is presently happening.
You are making assumptions. How do you know what powers or will power the surveillance system in China? Also, mass surveillance will always be there regardless of forms of energy it is on, hence the weak correlation.

It would be very difficult for a kid to rack up a huge bill on his parents credit card buying virtual items. The majority of websites which offer these items will have purchase limits in place. The limits will gradually increase over time depending on purchase frequency and monthly volume.

There would be no way for a kid to just show up with a credit card and make an out-of-character purchase of $1k+. This is especially true for games with tradeable items. This is true for the same reason that you can't just show up and buy BTC with a Credit Card. Fraud would be rampant.

New ForeFlight Release Supports Third-Party (e.g., Stratux) GPS, ADS-B, and AHRS
I guess you're not aware that the latest EPA rule proposals are taking aim at the very notion that PM2.5 is harmful (albeit indirectly)?

The legal authority to regulate PM2.5 is based on Harvard studies (that have been replicated) and private medical data from the 70s and 80s. The new EPA rule would forbid it from using non-public data (such as these medical records). The new rule would forbid using non-public datasets (such as medical records), which would make it practically impossible to issue regulations based on human health.
> Generally math formulae are one based, the fft and the Taylor expansions being the major exception.

What formulas do you regularly use which benefit from being 1-based? Note, I'm not asking for instances where the index doesn't really matter and the author of a paper simply chose base-1.

There are clearly cases where zero based is more natural. But I don't regularly use any cases where one based is an improvement.

I will admit that zero-based adds a lot of confusion when communicating to other people.
lol, the free market doesn't mean free as in money. Not that I agree with this, but in a free market, information is a good to be purchased just like everything else. In other words, no matter how nervous hospitals are about transparency, there is some dollar amount that would make them willingly provide all of their pricing data. A company could buy all the data, analyze it and create a paid service that ranked hospitals by affordability, quality, etc. They could then sell access to governments, universities, and insurance companies who would then be able to make informed decisions about society, career-planning, and coverage networks.

Ask HN: Why does Slack connect to so many trackers?
I installed Slack for the first time today, and was shocked how many trackers it tried to connect to:
- convertro
- yahoo
- atdmt
- quantserve
- facebook
- doubleclick
- google analytics
- google ad services
- bizographics

I wonder how many people using Slack realize that the tracking situation is probably even worse than using GChat/FB messenger.
Waffle House Hero raises $150,000 for victims' families
No, it is not false. You may not be aware of it, but massive poverty in the US is certainly there. Massive? Yes of course there is. There are so many people in the US living at or near the legal definition of the poverty line - it's clearly a major problem. A massive problem for sure. The number of homeless people in California alone is an international tragedy.

The USA absolutely does have a massive poverty problem, and to deny this is to deny the reality and the humanity of your fellow citizens.

Edit: I think it would be reasonable to suggest that if there were more than a million people living in the USA in poverty, that we could all agree that it would fall under a reasonable definition of "massive poverty", relative or otherwise. And I don't know the numbers, but I guarantee that there are well over a million people living in poverty in the USA.

--------

Edit: I am banned from responding to comments on HN (too many downvotes? I'm not sure why. I've tried to be very polite here). Here is my reply to the comment below.

> So you keep using hyperbolic statements - massive, massive, massive, massive -

I am not the one who brought 'massive' to this conversation. I am using that word to respond as directly and clearly as possible to the commenters above.

> and then you admit you have no idea what you're talking about, because you don't actually know any numbers involved.

I did no such thing. I even took an educated guess at the numbers, which turned out to be conservative based on the numbers you supplied, and the number of poor people in the USA is 10x higher than I has estimated. Wow.

> That's pretty ridiculous to put it mildly.

I don't understand this at all. I'm not being ridiculous. That is rude. What do you mean by this?

> The US poverty rate in 2016 was 12.7%.

I would say that is very clearly massive poverty. It is completely unacceptable that a country as advanced and capable as the USA still has so much poverty. That's 40M people in poverty in the USA. Wow - that is a lot.

Please be kinder, both to me and to them.

Edit again:

> The term "massive" is a strictly relative concept.

No, it is not. I googled 'define:massive' just to check and was met with a set of reasonable definitions, all of which show that you are wrong. All of them.

I like definition 2. "exceptionally large." 40M people, living in the USA in poverty, is exceptionally large. That is not up for debate. That number is huge. It is exceptional and it is large - an exception to what the USA is capable of doing, an exception to what people expect when they pay so much tax, an exception to what the media, government, and our society expect.

Denying or diminishing the scope of the problems of poverty in the USA is harmful and insulting.

I run Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 3 because Linux touch support is just too bad right now and because I have maybe two essential applications that don't run on Linux. I would switch it over in a heartbeat if I could, I think the UX is really bad, it's a nightmare for me to maintain.

I hate that the updates are so pushy; I boot into the computer maybe two or three times a month and pretty much every time it wants me to restart and update something. I hate that it installs new updates on startup, I don't know who decided that when I turned on a computer I'd want to wait 3-4 extra minutes for stuff to install. I've been bitten by that multiple times during work presentations and calls.

I hate how glitchy the core OS touch support is; the touch keyboard only pops up about half the time, and manually getting it to show up is a pain. Unbelievably, Gnome is more consistent - which is saying something because Linux touch support is so bad. Periodically, the dock will just decide it doesn't want to hide anymore. There's about a 50% chance if I switch it into tablet mode that screen rotation will work. The default permission prompts don't always tell me which application is requesting authentication. I have #?x! ads in my start menu.

The whole UX is just really... buggy and nonsensical and it feels like none of the designers ever tried to use it outside of demo conditions. Maybe that's my device or whatever, but I'm on a Surface Pro. Microsoft should be able to get that right.

I could go on, but there's not much point. In comparison, my Linux desktop basically never breaks. I set it up once, and it just works. Same for my parents. Especially with the rise of the web, app support is good enough for them and, again, they want their apps to be usable, not flashy, and Open Source usually fits that criteria just fine. The type of person who can get by with an Android tablet instead of a desktop, could also probably get by with a small Linux laptop and might even prefer it now.

There are obviously exceptions, but I don't have a lot of problem recommending Linux to people anymore, because I've found most people want a computer that is set up specifically for them, and then they just want it to work consistently. (Opinion me) most people do not want their computers to evolve, or delight them or something.

This disease may be the root for some mythological creatures, but probably not vampires. In folklore, vampires are corpses that continue to walk around and attack people at night. Not a person born with these sort of features, but rather an ordinary person who died. The details vary widely between cultures and time periods, but many folkloric depictions of vampires did not actually include fangs, and some don't even mention blood sucking.

They're behind in a number of areas.

Their ROCm environment finally is catching up with NVidia's software / CUDA environment. OpenCL was simply a disaster and hampered AMD's role as a serious software solution for years.

I think its more important to get ROCm fully functional with Tensorflow and other technologies (their current path). AMD can compete on price/performance, selling Vega HBM2 chips at ~$1000 to $2000 (compared to NVidia's chips at $8000 for their HBM2-based V100).

With AMD's drivers properly in the Linux kernel and a nicer licensing model, AMD can achieve a position in the server world. But only if developers start coding in ROCm instead of CUDA.

Honestly, I bet you that software is the bigger issue in the near term. No one wants to code in OpenCL / separated C-environment. ROCm achieves CUDA-parity to some degree with "single source" C++ programming and is beginning to become compatible with Tensorflow.

Sure, they'll be slower than NVidia. But at least your python machine learning code will actually run at all. And paying 1/8th the price for ROCm acceleration will be fine as long as AMD is 1/4th the performance or better. That's how you can actually build a value argument.
Let’s put it this way: I don’t think you have ever experienced an 800 PM2.5 day before. You would move if you did, I assume you are still living in the Bay Area, however bad you think the pollution is there, it didn’t cause you to pick up your life and start over again. In that case, your values aren’t incredibly different from mine.

Let me know if any of my assumptions are incorrect.

I think the parent is being pedantic. All the literature I could find on eFuses (including the wikipedia article) either used 'blowing' to refer to permanent writing, or '"blowing"' (in scare quotes).

Whether or not that is descriptive of the physical process that's occurring, it certainly seems to be a reasonable term for anybody to use to talk about the functionality of eFuses.
> as well as Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server, as a manifestation of a problem with the way we do security: when IT security restrictions are a pain in the butt to comply with, people are going to try to get around them.

Wasn't that more of an effort to get around government records-retention and transparency laws than an attempt to get around annoying and onerous security requirements?
well, this is what scares me. because, the conversation may be encrypted (protocol, packets), but still messages can be accessible by the powers that be through variety of means.

especially considering they "forked" it, who knows what they will do with it (log keystrokes, take screenshots, in the disguise of diagnostic reasons?).

anytime you are reading a message from your app, or sending a message, the app have all the powers to capture the data in its raw form before transmission, encrypt it with some key that only they have control of, etc. so unless the gov't releases their source code to be truly open (which even then i don't see how you will ever know), you won't get the transparency you need.

encryption is such a buzzword, people think anything encrypted means you are fully secure. this is simply false.

It doesn't appear that he'll be working on that, MobilEye is an "Intel company" an autonomous (pun intended) subsidiary not a division of Intel, they don't even manufacture their chips at Intel fabs.

JK is joining Intel proper looks like he'll be working on SoC design.

I'm also not sure if the analysis that JK was there to bridge the gap was correct they've bridged that gap with NVIDIA in fact they've already switched to NVIDIA before the fallout with MobilEye which is likely the main reason why MobilEye didn't took it quietly since they were already sleeping in separate beds.

The rumor was always that JK was joined Tesla to design and build their own AI SoC and doesn't look like it panned out, hopefully for the better I don't think Tesla should add ASIC design and manufacturing to their list of "achievements".

I've had a few people ask me lately why I've spent so much time long-term (an hour or two a day, for at least 2 years) studying philosophy. It's very difficult to convey the feeling you get when really approaching philiosophical thought in the way Descartes challenged via apple baskets:

> “Suppose [a person] had a basket full of apples and, being worried that some of the apples were rotten, wanted to take out the rotten ones to prevent the rot spreading. How would he proceed? Would he not begin by tipping the whole lot out of the basket? And would not the next step be to cast his eye over each apple in turn, and pick up and put back in the basket only those he saw to be sound, leaving the others? In just the same way, those who have never philosophized correctly have various opinions in their minds which they have begun to store up since childhood, and which they therefore have reason to believe may in many cases be false. They then attempt to separate the false beliefs from the others, so as to prevent their contaminating the rest and making the whole lot uncertain. Now the best way they can accomplish this is to reject all their beliefs together in one go, as if they were all uncertain and false. They can then go over each belief in turn and re-adopt only those which they recognize to be true and indubitable.” --René Descartes, Meditations on First Philosophy
