TX2 is on the chart and it is a GPU. But reading between the lines, the TX2 numbers on the chart are for ImageNet, not CIFAR-10. The TX2 is classifying 224x224 images into 1000 classes. Brainchip is classifying 32x32 images into 10 classes. But accuracy and power consumption are directly compared on the chart almost as if the tasks are similar. That's why I say it's borderline fraudulent.
I'm not aware of any such ridiculous sites on the left side of the spectrum, insofar as you could call the democrats 'left', in most countries a party with their political stance would still be on the right. Some would argue the USA does not have a functioning left wing party.

No, if I don’t want ads I use an ad blocker and script manager that only exists to block out what you’re selling. As a bonus I get to hope that far from being able to help save this wretched industry, I can help to hammer some nails in its coffin. Your business model would only be remotely appealing if things like uBlock Origin, NoScript and uMatrix didn’t exist. Fortunately they do, so I don’t even have to think about malware ads, inefficient ads, and just plain annoying ads. Even better I don’t have to “be the product being sold” or have to waste my mental energy critically thinking through the bullshit that is advertising.

Life without endless, wheedling attempts to sell, upsell, and generally manipulate you into buying more crap is frankly better than the alternatives. I can’t tell you how many cord cutters I’ve met who lost their tolerance for tv advertisement once they weren’t bathing in it every day. Ads are miserable, they drive a consumer culture that is pointless, and lead to endless loads of clickbait and “content” thst exists just be a platform form advertisement.

The industry doesn’t need saving, it needs euthanizing.

It seems to me that two separate things are being conflated here. Removing "slave" and "master/slave" terms seems fair enough, for the obvious reasons, but "master" on its own also has the innocuous sense of "main" - as in "master switch", "master bathroom", etc.

It looks like this PR removes both sorts of usages reflexively (the author, apparently not a native speaker, perhaps not being aware of a distinction). In the ensuing discussion it seems like those who support the PR are focused on the former sorts of usages, while those who disagree are focusing on the latter - resulting in folks talking past each other.

Perhaps they need a bit more control over the project? PHPs voting system is a bit weird, in the past a lot of great proposals had been voted against. If there was no for a few individuals investing a lot of personal time and energy to push for votes many of the features that are now highly praised in PHP7 wouldn't even be there. I can only presume that this is not a very good solution for Facebook, as they probably need a way to have a better control over the roadmap...
> You have no reason to believe the people at Breitbart don't sincerely believe in the issues they report on.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt by staking the claim that they are doing this because they are a bunch of cynical bastards. You are making things worse for them by claiming they really are that stupid, and while I can't rule it out 100% it borders on the unbelievable.

But if you want to go down that route, be my guest, I do believe Robert Mercer knows what he is doing (just like Rupert Murdoch) and that the damage they are doing is intentional. It's pretty easy to mess with people's heads and there is an awful lot of that going on, if the visitors of those sites sincerely believe in the various levels of BS that are being peddled then some sort of shared blame would be appropriate.

I have similar feelings towards religious people and the perpetrators of religion: a failure of critical thinking skills leading to significant damage to the world, with a larger portion of the blame apportioned to the guys in charge (why is it always guys?).

There was an article a while back how a Chinese professor or maybe recent grad, couldn't find a position in US and the Chinese government made them a generous offer, an apartment, a guaranteed research fund, etc. Everyone was bashing and shaming US but it seemed kind of nice that China is able to do those things.

I remember that too, but that's kind of the goal of the F-1 / J-1 educational visas. None of them are designed for permanent residency or imply a path towards citizenship. The idea is that these students will get a graduate education then return home and and apply that knowledge in various countries around the world.

That's the reason I've never subscribed to any of the itunes, spotifys, or whatever services there are for music and video. I always went "Oh, I'll join a bit later when these services can be trusted as much as my local copies" and that never happened.

In my opinion these "purchases" aren't really even "renting". Even renting has terms more solid than "Oh, we just had to take it away from you, sorry". Making things you've collected vanish would be extremely bad customer experience even in a free service, not to mention one that you actually pay for.

If they start publishing in Chinese? The commercial CNKI database indexes 10,406 Chinese language academic journals, and 63 million articles. Arguably, much of it is of low quality (although there are plenty of Western journals of questionable quality as well), but that's a different discussion. If you rephrased the question as "When the leading Chinese scholar chooses to publish in the most prestigious Chinese journal, rather than Nature or Science" - would be a more interesting question.

It's interesting to me that Cook's Apple is as secretive as Jobs' Apple. With Jobs, it was clear that the secrecy was due to wanting a big reveal for truly innovative products. With Cook, it just comes across as confused and schizophrenic. Product lines 4 and 5 years old, and they often won't even tell you if there's a roadmap, let alone when to expect anything.
> homosexuality is detrimental for the persistence of a species. It is entirely a dead-end.

How do you state this with such confidence? In an overpopulated world, homosexuality may be beneficial for the survival of our species. Homosexuals who do not reproduce potentially provide nanny-power to family units, or parenting power to orphans. It is in no way clear cut that "the correct action to be taken is to prevent and/or counter the agent that causes this." This is crazy talk.

Apple makes it own drivers though for iOS so it's still possible for them to update where as the drivers for Android come from the manufacturers. That's the reason google has moved to break Android in parts so that they can update the os without needing new drivers from the manufacturers. Will probably still take 2-3 years before Android devices at least google sold Android devices are updated for longer other manufacturers probably still won't. Samsung comes to mind they produce most internals themselves but still don't update where as Nvidia has been updating its shield tv for 4+ years because they control hardware so its possible.
Why should search be regulated?

And I assume ALL search engines should be equally regulated.

Also, you better be pretty specific about what politically neutral really means.

For example, I just started a political party devoted to spreading obvious lies. Political neutrality means I should have top billing, right? Above the fold? Even though no one needs or wants what I’m selling?
These goal posts are related.

Given the context of the five eyes backdoor discussions it is not unreasonable to expect that a government could pressure WhisperSystems to manipulate a client update or patch a server, GPL laws be damned. A single employee could also be bribed or blackmailed. Intel could also be compelled to falsely attest an SGX enclave.

When it comes to protecting privacy against highly motivated and sophisticated adversaries then centralized trust is just not an option to be taken seriously. It creates a Lavabit sized target.

A company that is as serious about privacy as their marketing indicates would, like TOR, encourage as many servers to run as possible to ensure there is no central pressure point to abuse.

Cards on the table: I find Moxies insistence on a walled garden while using Open Source and Privacy to market it simply unethical.

I do again appreciate the updates on the current status of their public source code though. I will strive for better accuracy in the future on this.

A12 Bionic: 5 trillion operations per second
pip really sucks, in fact any packaging system discrete to its programming language sucks, because it bypasses the operating system's software management subsytem (pkgadd, pkgsrc, rpm, et cetera). Then one has to have an imaging system like Docker to work around that, so developer's convenience leads to one bad decision after another in the operational repeatability space.
You are changing the topic. It started with false dichotomy between ads and caring for content and continued through "this form of monetization is more effective then the other one". I am suggesting that using "want money" as dirty word as if it wad something people (who don't even earn a lot) should be ashamed off is manipulative false argument.

In which cases does the US government ("Washington DC"?) discriminate against Chinese and Russian applicants more than other noncitizens for defense roles?
You're missing the point being made. We are not saying "it cannot be enforced, period". What we are saying "you cannot police every single website on the internet." Thus what will happen is this law will be used as a weapon to target sites that publish reviews that paint a particular product in a bad light, or user contribution sites that compete with big social networks. Or even, in the worst case scenario, forums which are critical of a particular government party.*

A law like this can and likely will be selectively enforced since it will be impossible to police every single independent thought published on the internet.

* I appreciate those points may not be in breach of the new legislation per se. But there is a pretty good chance that some content on sites of those style would be in breach. So it's a little like police using a broken tail light as an excuse to stop and search a car.
I think it all started long before that – with HDD masters/slaves.
Microsoft doesn't have to make tthe best browser, the inertia of having a "good" browser that is the default and hard to change away from gets many of their customers to use Edge until someone or something prompts them to switch.
Thanks, I can verify that's fixed. The larger point still stands though – testing this, it took 29.74s to load. DOMContentLoaded 19.79s / Load 21.13s. Your main.….js alone took 16.31s. A static HTML page would have taken a fraction of the time and it would be easier to get the basics right. Using an SPA for documentation seems completely wrong.
Yep. A lack of typing puts an upper bound on the complexity of the code that effectively limits the line-count and relegates the language to 'glue' status. The reason is simple: typing functions as guard rails and guard rails are what keep you safe on the road when you are driving for 1000's of km. They have no function if you just putter about town at low speed.

High line count projects almost always gravitate towards languages with such safeguards built in because otherwise the accumulation of subtle errors leads to too many runtime issues, and typing takes care of whole classes of bugs.

IMO any mechanism that shifts that time of bug catching to development rather than operations should be preferred, ditto for any mechanism that forces a program to end when an undefined situation is detected, the closer to the root cause the better.
A plain ASCII text file which doesn't require the user to be familiar with any programming language. The fathers of UNIX postulated that for a reason. It came out of experience.
> Maybe Microsoft should address the reasons why people do not switch? Look, Edge is a fine browser - it's fast, stable, and easier (compared to IE) to build websites for.

> But it's not cross platform. I use a Windows desktop, Debian laptop, and Apple phone. Edge is available on exactly one of those platforms, while Firefox and Chrome are available on all of them.

It's actually available on less than one platform, since it only runs on Windows 10, and only on desktop editions (so not on thin client desktops, which use Server).

Such regular trainings are quite common at many Fortune 500.
> How did we get to the state where the "truth" is such an elusive concept?

Look into the fields of epistemology and the philosophy of science, in particular the works of Karl Popper such as The Logic of Scientific Discovery. The "truth" has always been an elusive concept. Outside the realm of mathematics, it's rather difficult to objectively prove most things "true".
Yeah, it's sad. The SE has been the nicest phone I've ever had. I can use it one handed! I'm not sure what I'll do yet. It should be supported for a few more years but now that they aren't selling it anymore I'm anticipating the inevitable "we didn't slow your phone down on purpose, honest" update.
The operating part is "should already be state-of-the-art". The typical programmer already knows that personal data is sensitive and treats it that way. Maybe there are some adjustments here and there, or some oversights or things-that should-have-been-fixed-months ago. But most of what needs to be done has already been law in one form or another, so the programmer is trained to do it correctly. There are retention laws for tax data and business communication of 7 years and longer, which override the GDPR, so the startup will most likely be out of business before any deletion is required.

So what remains for the business part of the startup is to make sure the necessary contracts with all third parties are in place (the pressure-the-conglomerates-part), and to explain it to the users. This is annoying, but also not much worse than the typical legalese stuff the CEO has to deal with. The data privacy policy of a certain privacy activist reads, in essence: "We store only what we need, and delete it as soon as we can, as long as we are not required by law to store it for any longer." You don't even need a law degree for that, as you shouldn't, because the text should be readable for the end user.

> What is everybody complaining about?

I don't know, the GDPR is basically German data privacy law, and it hasn't stopped Berlin from becoming a startup center in Europe. I guess if you don't want to be GDPR compliant due to the effort that's fair, but you should know that there are much worse things ahead for a company.

However, if you are not _able_ to be GDPR compliant as a small organization, while many of your competitors are, you should absolutely not be entrusted with personal data.
I don't get the appeal of neuromorphic spiking chips even in academia. We don't have a definite , final spiking neuron model, and these architectures are too constrained to use them for finding it. We also have very few real-world applications for spiking neurons that exceed their ANN counterparts. There are multiple groups working on them and apparently are racing to compete with each other, but for all of them, the cart is before the horse.

They are still copycatting ideas and methods from the West (and Russia, marginally) in so many hard engineering fields, though. On the other hand, they are very good and original in deep learning, which is more mechanistic than holistic. I mean, if the industry 5.0 revolution is going to come from China, they need to start deploying their own vision for society and the world full scale, which to be fair they are doing already through money, infrastructures and finlandisation of neighbouring countries, Africa and Eastern Europe. It is quite different from liberal and neo-liberal models.
