(I am OP) I thought about doing it that way but found that handwriting recognition was pretty weak as of now and wanted to try something solid. The reason is, usually, handwriting recognition would take into account the following characters (it doesn't recognize individual characters at a time, it looks at a database of handwritten whole words). That would be the ideal if done well, of course.

This kind of "blocking-and-tackling" work is important.

The authors take a well-known architecture, the Transformer[a], configure it with a progressively larger number of parameter, train it to predict the next word conditioned on previous text, using a large dataset consisting of 40GB of text scraped from the Web, and test each trained model on a range of zero-shot transfer-learning tasks.

Remarkably, the performance of a Transformer in the tested tasks improves log-linearly with the number of parameters, suggesting that even the largest model tested, with 1.5B parameters, still underfits 40GB of text.

This is compelling evidence that we do NOT need new architectures, NOR new kinds of training objectives, NOR new theories, for better language modeling! We can get better language modeling simply by increasing model capacity (i.e., by adding more parameters to existing models), which becomes easier and simpler to do as hardware continues to improve over time.

Great work.

PS. In case it's not clear: I'm not saying we should suddenly stop searching for new, better ideas and architectures. That would be silly. Please don't attack a straw-man :-)

If this $800/mo. is for the 32GB setup with 1 standby, for around $4500 you can outright buy 2 servers with similar specs (E3-1240 v6, 32GB DDR4, 2 x 960GB Micron 5100 SSDs) plus you get bare metal performance.

If you have a rack set up already, even with colocation costs you will still pay less in your first year than with a cloud set up like this.

Obviously, this calculation doesn't include any engineer costs, but if you have several several racks set up, chances are you have the manpower on hand, and you're going to be saving money compared to any cloud setup, it's all a matter of how much flexibility you require.
Right, this is a much better approach than such titles (or equivalent labels, which I've also seen), because it directly impacts GitHub's "ready to merge" checks at the bottom of the PR (without needing an outside bot/service for it).
Is that even necessary? I would have thought that simply making the branch and pushing it while it's on the same commit as the branch you're branching from would be enough.

The thing is that the useful things that we can prove about natural numbers are ones that can be proven about practical ones. We can, at least in principle, follow the construction and wind up with whatever exists.

Now compare with the kinds of results that classical mathematics gives us. The Robertson-Seymour theorem (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertson%E2%80%93Seymour_theo... for the theorem) says that certain classes of graphs are characterized by a finite forbidden set. This means that membership can be tested by a polynomial time algorithm. However the construction provides no way to actually find that finite set. It also provides no way to find how many members it has. It not only provides no way to prove that you actually have all of them for a given class of graphs, but there are classes of graphs which it is impossible for us to prove that we actually have a complete list. Not only in practice, but in principle.

So the theorem asserts the existence of a finite set. But in what meaningful way does it exist, or is it finite?

Anyone with an understanding of basic economics can see that immigration is absolutely a national emergency in our country.

When we allow people to come to the US who will work under third-world conditions (unsafe environments; low pay; no healthcare; etc.), we lower the standard of living for everyone in our country. People are quick to say, "Well, no Americans will do those jobs!" And, of course, they should not! Americans should not be willing to work under unsafe conditions without sufficient pay or benefits. This is the meaning of a standard of living!

Immigration controls having nothing to do with race. I'm a European American and I could not work in France or another EU country if I made my best efforts to do. It's not because of my race. (My last name is French!) It's because France is not willing to lower the standard of living of its citizens in order to take on people who might be willing to put up with less.

By eliminating illegal immigration, we force employers in the US to offer jobs with the right pay and benefits that Americans deserve to maintain our high standard of living.

A vote for immigration controls is a vote for preserving the American way of life.

This is an extremely valuable point that that I think most entrepreneurs don't appreciate enough.

If you think about any large project you know - say a business - they are highly networked systems. They have partnerships and vendors and customers and employees and investors and external deadlines and internal deadlines.

In other words, they become deeply embedded in a "fabric" of connections. Once you become part of the ecosystem - and people rely on you - it becomes harder to just quit.

I have always thought that if you want to build a business, build a network (and not just one of people). Integrate with as many entities as possible. Have them share a vested interested in your success; have them depend on you and vice versa. The more you dig into the system, the harder you are to get out. This prevents startups from dying.

The idea here is to create a complex adaptive system - it adapts no matter what you throw at it. These are established by creating a highly networked systems (ie. creating relationships) with other adaptive entities who are aligned with your goals. The more of these you create, the harder it will be to get rid of you (this is true even if your startup is not particularly good). Again, the goal here is to become embedded in the network.

Merging into a single branch isn’t the definition that people like ThoughtWorks seem to use. They just talk about integrating into a shared respository, not specifically a shared branch.

No, I don't think it makes any sense. It seems to be saying that a "post-communist society" is a place "where bike mechanics don't invent flying machines". This seems to imply that a communist society is the kind of place where bike mechanics do invent flying machines, which, historically, is laughably far from the truth. Those bike mechanics, first, had the money to be able to invest some of it in experimenting with flying, and second, did so in the hope of further profit. They were very much capitalists, not just in the society they lived in, but also in behavior and motivation.

Summary Judgment is persuasive precedent. A higher court affirming Summary Judgment is controlling precedent for that circuit and highly persuasive precedent for other circuits.

A couple things.

Dealing with are is not just % cost, put lawyers and time. If you are small company that is very valuable.

The choice WD made is not about cost but about an architecture that is adoptable adaptability. The whole argument is that you DON'T have to be apply to make it worth it to get a costume chip.

Also, you will have more venders to choice from when doing a product.

> Bottom line is that I think it is great to have the ability to create computers that are not beholden to a certain vendor but I don't see the vector for getting them into general distribution where consumers actually benefit from the change.

End consumers never benefit from any individual technology. They buy product and that work. RISC-V is more important for the overall industry and specially for those interested in open source.

As long as we base everything on proprietary ISA we can not have open chip projects that run lots of common software and that stops open silicon in its tracks, and with that open hardware as a whole.

RISC-V enables open source culture to be even legally possible and making it practically viable.

The obvious answer is what is commonly called the inertia of dead ideas. Leaders grow up in one era but take power in the next era and they often bring along with them ideas that are 20 years out of date. Military historians joke “generals are always ready to fight the last war” and political leaders make mistakes of the same category. Offering billions in tax breaks to lure businesses is the kind of thing New York might have sensibly done in the 1980s when they were desperate to replace the loss of the textile industry. Such a strategy makes no sense in 2019, when an abundance of investment has clearly replaced the lost industries.
How long will it take to cover the almost 3 billion dollars they were offering Amazon? That is money that could go into improving mass transit right now AND provide jobs for building and operating it, while benefiting hundreds of thousands of citizens through it's usage.
Yes, Android then Fuchsia. I agree it's good, overall I prefer it to Github, but by "hacky" I mostly mean it's very much out of step from the way the rest of the ecosystem works. This is much more true for repo / jiri (which is Google's own spin on the submodule problem), but includes change ids.
Agreed that "simply" scaling up with more compute will result in progress and useful systems, and work in that direction is interesting and valuable. But, while we may not need new architectures or training objectives to make progress, we do need them to approach human level sample complexity. Humans don't need to read through 40 GB of text multiple times to learn to write.
Why phrase it as doing a "disservice to your employer" rather than "a disservice to yourself"? That sort of phrasing is a huge red flag for me.
A friend was a salesman for SunRun back in 2011 and at the time I was growing pot so I was looking to reduce my energy costs. I got an 8.8kW system(a bit large for my house). I spent probably $1k/year extra for electricity during the first year. Over time, the system started to actually save me money, but it took about 5 years. I also had a bunch of power I was obligated to buy, so I lost the incentive to conserve and ran my central A/C nearly all the time. When I had to sell my house after a divorce, I realized what a pain in the ass it would be. I had to convince the buyer that it was a good idea to assume the lease. I found out things like the requirement to pay thousands to remove the system if the roof needed replacement(one SunRun rep, not my friend, hinted during sign-up that they maintained the roof). The system only saved money if you consumed a lot of electricity. If you didn't need the power, you're stuck paying for it anyway. Fortunately the buyer went for it and I escaped the lease.

Another annoyance was the inverter box that SunRun installed right outside my bedroom. Every morning and night, the system would turn on and off several times as the light levels were close to the threshold. This meant some rather large relays were clicking repeatedly, waking me up at dawn a lot of the time. On the plus side, I got a new breaker panel and had my service rating upgraded from 100A to 150A.

If I had to sum it up, I'd say that SunRun isn't absolutely evil, but if I ever do it again I would buy the system outright, assuming it was economically viable. My personal opinion is that residential solar is a misallocation of resources as long as there are commercial rooftops without solar.

Oof that's steep. Assuming ARM doesn't try to kill RISC-V, I imagine the economics will improve significantly over the next few years. Probably larger than 75% drop for similar specs over two years as the low hanging fruit has not been picked yet... But it's important that there's still demand for RISC-V, which is where ARM might be able to choke it off.
I suppose that would go flat in the middle, but I believe it's too broad to cover the range. There are engineers, and there are people in software who I wouldn't consider "developers".
Not sure why your comment is being downvoted. It is obvious that the shell theorem only applies to Earth and not the steel ring (it's not the ring that is within a shell) and only to the plane of Earth that is in the plane of the ring.

While the single plane (crossection) of Earth would not see gravitational gradient from the ring it is only because each part of that crossection of Earth is being attracted to all parts of the ring in a way that all forces cancel each other.

For the ring itself, each part of the ring is being attracted by the Earth that is beneath it. There is no magic, the Earth is not a shell around that part of the ring and and full force of attraction is felt.

The compressive force on the steel would just squash it immediately. No known material would be strong enough to support itself in this configuration.

Think about an arch that is 5 feet high standing on the Earth. Now start making the span wider while keeping its height. The arch gets shallower and shallower until the radius of the arch is the same as radius of Earth. The wider the span and the shallower the arch the stronger the material needed and the less force it can carry.
