The best way to compare CPUs would be performance/watt benchmarks which is what matters ultimately to the customer; in this case, data center customers. Let me clarify - we are not talking about Geekbench type benchmarks. Each customer has their own validation & qualification process for new datacenter chip procurement.

Public gets hung up with all kinds of marketing terms (7nm, 7nm+, 10nm, 10nm+, 10nm++, etc). What does 7nm+ even mean!? It is purely a marketing term and large datacenter customers know this. They run their workloads on test samples and make a decision to go with Intel or AMD.

Furthermore, there is also the aspect of maintainability, servicing and infrastructure inertia that is priced into Intel's server chips. Apple-to-Apple chip comparison (sorry for the pun, not intended) from Intel & AMD would not be priced the same since Intel knows that there is a giant amount of switching inertia for a customer to switch to AMD Epyc. Furthermore, datacenter customers want predictability and proven performance. In this case, Intel again wins with its history and you betchya its modeled in the pricing.

So, this is all business as usual. HN loves beating on Intel but their numbers in quarterly reports depict a different story.

Let me repeat: No sane customer gives a shit about 7nm or 10nm. My comments are only applicable to datacenter customers. Desktop/Client chips are a whole another enchilada where marketing plays a bigger role (have you seen the ridiculous packaging from AMD & Intel? This is to please the RGB Gamer crowd).
So true! Since I follow US politics more closely (2016, roughly), I realize how damn good life is in Europe for the average joe.

I just skipped through the comments, and the fact that hardly anybody points out the fact that an employer should care for his employees and follow all applicable regulations is mind boggling.

But it could also point to a general issue regarding SV and SV-style disruption. Build a business around ignoring existing regulations, because of disruption.
That's what I do.

Am I the only one though that uses the Pi with a (Synology) NAS with MySQL (MariaDB) to store the Kodi data, and my NAS (NFS) for the content? you can pick up where you left off from your Pi, to your laptop, or Phone.

I know...it's like Plex in architecture.

As for the remote, CEC will let you control Kodi from your TV's remote. Or if you have seperate audio, like a soundbar or AV receiver, a harmony remote will do.

"This reduction in rental supply likely increased rents in the long-run, leading to a transfer
between future San Francisco renters and renters living in San Francisco in 1994. In addition,
the conversion of existing rental properties to higher-end, owner-occupied condominium
housing ultimately led to a housing stock increasingly directed towards higher income individuals.
In this way, rent control contributed to the gentrification of San Francisco, contrary
to the stated policy goal. Rent control appears to have increased income inequality in the city
by simultaneously limiting displacement of minorities and attracting higher income residents.

These results highlight that forcing landlords to provided insurance against rent increases
can ultimately be counterproductive. If society desires to provide social insurance against
rent increases, it may be less distortionary to offer this subsidy in the form of a government
subsidy or tax credit. This would remove landlords’ incentives to decrease the housing
supply and could provide households with the insurance they desire. A point of future
research would be to design an optimal social insurance program to insure renters against
large rent increases."

If my choice is between 1% of what I want, 2% of what I want or 99% of what I want, saying "why don't you just be happy with 2% since it's twice as good as the 1% you could have gotten" isn't the most logical point to make.

I care much more about getting a good voting system than I do improving our voting system, if that makes sense.

Looks neat but no mention of ACL2 in project about LISP and proving? Come on, now! I wonder if the author investigated it. If so, why not use it or improve it. So far, it's one of most successful in terms of industrial use with SPIN being other one (TLA+ doing similar stuff now).

https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/moore/acl2/

Far as TCB, Jared Davis, who used ACL2 on x86 processors, built a self-verifying prover for a logic going in ACL2's direction. It was verified to assembly using Magnus Myreen's techniques.

They pay VAT for sells in your country. It doesn't matter if it's consumer or a company paying the tax, the amount is added to the price. If you want them tax then increase that. Why do you feel entitled to profits of the company that isn't based in your country?

It's like thinking the company should pay 5m in tax in Ireland based on sells in France while being ok with them deducting expenses from unrelated business in Ireland which you shouldn't care at all. If they paid that rate you should be happy even not even one dollar more made it to your country.

The whole idea doesn't make any sense at all. You want companies to pay more in your country? Tax exactly that - consumption of their goods in your country. It's not your business to decide how other countries choose to organize their tax code. Seriously fuck you for trying to force them. Ideas like that make EU much less popular idea that it was in the past.

Technological Requirements for Terraforming Mars (1993)
My take on it is that it is fairly complex.

First there are 'node wars' where what it means to be a "10nm" process or a "7nm" process has become rather murky. This is because transistors themselves don't work well at these sizes and you start getting novel structures which make it hard to compare things. Back when all transistors were flat rectangles it was easier but now they all have some amount of a verticalness to them (FinFets) and there are various patents around this stuff and so nobody talks about 'transistor' size any more they talk about 'feature' size. But what is a feature? Is it a polysilicon line? (equivalent to a trace width on a printed circuit board) Or is it the smallest thing you can render with your lithography process?

But all of that explains when you step back, what has happened to Intel. It used to be that what Intel was doing in there fabs other fabs would take 2 - 3 years to do, and they were big differences, like copper, or finfets, or smaller feature sizes. But as time goes on, the features get harder and harder to develop so when you're two years behind the difference appears smaller and smaller.

What is more the cost of trying something that doesn't work out is more and more expensive and time delaying. And costs are huge here.

That introduces part three of the puzzle, as fabs have been closed while companies switch to using TSMC we have gone from having a dozen semi-conductor companies spending their R&D budgets on their own process improvements in competition with Intel, to those dozens of companies sending their R&D dollars to TSMC who then in aggregate can spend more on R&D than Intel does while still being profitable enough.

So the bottom line is that the market has settled out and there are just few giant foundries (Global, TSMC, Intel, Samsung, Etc.) and one of them doesn't make a business out of others use of their equipment (Intel). Worst, the biggest consumer of silicon has become phones and Intel isn't a serious player.

Intel is under siege and I think they know it (they certainly act like they know it).
It really depends on whether you include the memory in that count, as memory uses masses of transistors without being very interesting as most of those transistors spend their time just sitting there in a stable state. It's the transistor count (more properly, the gate count; gates can be thought of as multiple transistors fused together, yet they're truly a single thing in terms of manufacturing and layout) in the computational parts of the processor that is really interesting.

SpiNNaker is built using old ARM968 cores on an ancient process (because that was cheap, for various reasons). The SpiNNaker2 hardware (under design; I can't remember if it is next year or the one after when it is finalized) will be on a modern process that will let us pack ten times as many cores on per chip, with those cores being quite a lot more powerful. Which isn't bad; we're not a commercial outfit here…
Bah. I'm brilliant at small talk, which means that when I'm conversing with someone I don't know, either as interviewer or interviewee (or any other situation), I feel it's my conversational duty to make others feel comfortable and entertained, and help them along if they're uncomfortable with small talk. Good conversationalists are great listeners, because they are trying to draw interest and excitement out of other people.

It's different from being a good talker, which can be entertaining, but isn't really two-way.
Yeah, despite owning 2080Ti and some Teslas, I'd strongly prefer AMD to be competitive in Deep Learning space.

I've heard that recently tensorflow-rocm can be installed using simple:

`pip install tensorflow-rocm`

Anyone did some Vega64/56/RX580 benchmarks with this? How fast is it in comparison to 1080Ti/2080Ti/Titan V? Can it do latest state-of-art models? Thanks!

There's nothing American about not using ER/Ambulance services. FYI - the employee still keeps his rights to call 911 on his own volition.

This is in no way a defense of Tesla's on-site medical facility's policy of not calling 911 without authorization, but the location of Tesla (U.S.A) is not somehow responsible for draconian policies, nor is it fair to assume that if Tesla operated in the EU, such policies wouldn't exist.

FYI - from the way the article paints it, Tesla's policies are in clear violation of U.S. law.
> Which party wouldn’t work hard to get an extra 100k+ voters?

By not voting, you are providing them no signal with which to court your vote.

In a first-past-the-post two-party system, voting for the party that best aligns with your goals not only moves the society slightly closer to your ideal by putting them in power, it also (ideally) motivates the opposing party to move closer to the mean. It's the only viable strategy.
I am, essentially, taxed based on my revenue, because my taxes don't let me deduct my rent, my car payments, my gasoline, or my groceries [1] - all of which are essential expenses that I need in order to continue working.

Corporations, for some reason, only get taxed on revenue - expenses.

What do you think about Packet.net?
Well, yeah, I'm aware of that, but it still boggles the mind that there'd be something visual in people's memory to actually reference while drawing, other than things like "there's supposed to be muscle here and some bones there, and gravity will affect the hair". ie. facts about structure. I don't know, perhaps I could put together a drawing just by assembling such facts and trying to figure out what to put on paper to represent them.

It's really hard to describe how I feel about it. I can't know how other people perceive the world, so I might be misunderstanding the whole thing, but for the longest time I though "imagination" was metaphorical, but lately I've been wondering that it might not be.

As I said in my earlier comment, I do get these feelings that might be "seeing" something inside my head sometimes, but the feeling is so indistinct that I can't call it constructing images in my mind; I've been trying to figure out how to make my brain do it better, but it's difficult.

The simple explanation (I hope) is that by ranking a candidate lower, you can promote a second candidate so that they survive elimination instead eliminating a third candidate, which would otherwise have defeated your first candidate in a later round where the second candidate will not.

It is a consequence of the loser-elimination step. You can avoid it by eliminating loser elimination, which gives the (unlimited ranks variant of) Bucklin (with ties and truncated ballots allowed, essentially Majority Judgement) voting system, which has its own pros and cons. I kind of lean towards unlimited ranks, ties-allowed Bucklin—count first-place votes, if you have a candidate with a majority of ballots cast, they win, if not add all candidates second place votes and see if you have a majority (of ballots, not counted votes which will now exceed ballots), etc., with a tie-breaking procedure if you get two majorities in the same round (bigger majority, either in current or subsequent rounds, random selection of the tie persists when ballot preferences are exhausted)—is my preferred simple ranked-choice system. Condorcet methods arguably choose a better winner in the case where they disagree, but are less simple.

Because runoffs already exist in a lot of places around the US, and IRV does accurately describe what happens if you are comparing it to a runoff election. I agree that "ranked voting" is a better term in a vacuum (and probably a better term regardless), but since there are more people in the US who have been exposed to runoff elections than ranked voting, I understand the choice.
It always baffles me how many units in big cities are on Airbnb.

Virtually every lease I've signed had clauses about subletting, with precedents on those clauses being enforced.

Virtually every condo building have bylaws against short term rentals.

Pretty much all towns have zonings that would cover these things.

While the applicability of some of these is up in there air, at least SOME of these rules apply and would drastically reduce the feasibility of some of these rentals...but Airbnb makes it so easy in comparison with how hard it is to do something against it.
You're mad that corporate media misreported 1 out of 100s of voter suppression efforts?

So you're saying that oversight should be 100% accurate, no false positives, to be considered legitimate?

You realize the Randolph County mess got sorted out, right? Isn't that exactly what's supposed to happen? Checks & balances.

You previously stated it was a Democratic election board. That was false. I watched an interview with that board. And they, one Republican and one Democrat, made it clear there was never a chance those poll sites were going to be closed. Believe them at your own peril.

Okay, I fell for it. I clicked that link. That North Dakota ad about hunting licenses was a bad move. The use of weasel words (eg "may lose") is no defense. As a staunch Democrat, I condemn all such BS. We are the party that enfranchises, not disenfranchises. (I'd much rather you vote for our opponents than not vote at all.)

Further, the trogs that go off script and pull this kind of stunt gives ammo to our critics, allowing people like you to falsely compare one bozo in the badlands with a deliberate nationwide effective perennial effort to disenfranchise us.

I begrudgingly thank you for pointing out the ND stunt. In response, I'll present a resolution to my local party condemning that action, with the goal of amending our state party platform to prohibit such nonsense.

Because that's how we Democrats roll: we clean house with sternly worded letters.
At some level I logically know this, and obviously if the employer didn't feel I was worth it they wouldn't hire me.

Still, after dropping out, it was hard to avoid constant feelings of inferiority. Even though people obviously didn't mean it this way, I was interpreting every statement as having an implicit suffix of "and you're stupid because you dropped out". It took me years to realize that people really aren't that much of jerks, and a surprising few actually give a crap about you dropping out.

I do think that, for engineering, a year of experience is worth just as much as a year in school if you are willing to spend evenings self-teaching.

My interests tend to be a bit more academic (which don't appear to be willing to overlook a lack of a bachelors), and since there's not a single Math professor in the NYC area that will take me on as a PhD student without a degree (I think I might have emailed literally all of them), I've actually started back in school, so hopefully that'll kill the complex.

I seriously doubt that anyone would get a headache over "if people had given that losing candidate higher scores, they would have won". I don't even see how you can honestly claim that to be anything but completely intuitive to everyone.

If IRV complexity and explanations were not a problem, we wouldn't see today's reality where IRV proponents themselves constantly make incorrect claims about it.

Not always (and not in the linked article here), but often people get the intuition that their 2nd choice will get counted when their 1st choice is eliminated, and then try to get them to understand why their 2nd choice was not counted (because their 2nd choice had already been eliminated) while someone else's 2nd choice was counted…

What happened in Burlington before they repealled IRV shows not only people getting intuitions about IRV wrong but people often don't even get what happened in Burlington because it seems so counter-intuitive. https://www.equal.vote/Burlington

And yet, that scenario is common enough. Burlington is just the case where all the ballot stats were released so we can study it.
I'm in Canada so not covered by the same laws as US states, but a few years back i went to my gp with what he quickly diagnosed as a life-threatening blood clot. He explicitly stated "i don't think we need to call an ambulance but you need to go to ER immediately". He gave me a note for the triage nurse to expedite admitting and i was into the ICU within the hour.

My wife drive me by nothing stopped me from using a taxi or ride share.

Doctors definitely have a duty of care that must consider emergency transport, but it's be surprised if laws explicitly stated you need to call an ambulance for stable patients that need emergency treatment.

Two parties are the natural and unavoidable consequence of first-past-the-post electoral systems. Work to change that, if you like, but meanwhile, work with the system that exists to shape society as you see fit.
You don't have to change the Constitution to implement instant runoff (at least at the state and below level). Plenty of states use runoff elections already, and local governments are already using IRV.
Or, it’s an obligation on society to organise in such a way that healthcare is provided to anybody who needs it by whatever means you like. Taxes, charity, whatever else. Obligations are not per se unethical - the most basic one being not to cause harm to people in carrying out whatever you’re doing, but there’s many others - and current society uses taxes to ensure that their obligations are fulfilled, but there’s other options too.
Comparing the keyboard with a $200 walmart netbook is a joke. It might not be everybody's taste, but it's far from terrible. I actually like it and at my company where 95% of engineers have one, there is not more complains than usual about the new model. People that really can't stand the keyboard will usually use external peripherals at their desk.
The 12-inch Macbook has an F-key row which is what gets replaced with the touch bar.

I only estimated that they were going for 100% laptop coverage. But I can imagine a future where Apple keyboards have a touch bar option. Though not as important because Macbook touch bar penetration can drive developers to integrate with it, alone.

At which point it's not much different than gestures when it comes to answering your questions. What happens when you use a Logitech mouse on your macOS desktop instead of a Magic Trackpad?

Note that touch bar integration cannot have unique features, so it's never required. The challenge is to get developers to care about it which is the prerequisite for users to care about it.
When most of your income comes from being an owner, as opposed to a worker, your 'personal income' is incredibly mobile.
It does make tons of sense. What doesn't make sense is running a business that doesn't bring profits. Taxing revenue is one idea end accounting shenanigans and unfair practices like price gauging
to eliminate competition which is now tax advantages strategy.
Iam not a fan of it for other reasons but it does way more sense taxing profits which is just non workable idea.

EDIT: replying to child (not possible to reply directly): your argument about high cost industries is bogus. A system without tax on profits would just make those services more expensive as they should be (they are mostly high cost because they are very environmently unfriendly). It would also make higher margin services cheaper (cause they can afford it and there is less spending power). Once you actually think about it and analyze various scenarios you will realize that taxin profits from the very beginning was based on intellectual laziness and lack of ability to predict outcomes of such policies.
I would just ask you to imagine the world you are going to get if you think "growth at all cost" is what is necessary to survive. Won't it eventually be a world in which it's no longer possible to grow?

I'm definitely piggybacking on what growth made possible. I wouldn't have been born otherwise. But I can still see a shitty situation and call it what it is.

Finally, technology is tool-making. We make tools to improve our lives. However, some tools grow too large and come to dominate us. At some point continually "adapting" to outsized tools becomes a fools game.
