This is a talk we gave at the "Compilers for Machine Learning" workshop at CGO this past Sunday. Obviously the slides are missing some of the context of the presentation, but the core argument is that one shouldn't build compilers for machine learning, but rather build general purpose compilers that are flexible and extensible. From there, you can easily get all the same benefits as dedicated machine learning compilers without building a huge monolith. The rest of the slides highlight some of the work done in the Julia community to work in this direction.
Not really - the airplane would still be doing around 500 knots (mph) relative to the air around it. The only way the scenario you mention could happen is if the airplane hit a sudden headwind of around 300 knots in an instant.

Fluid dynamics basically means that it is impossible for any parcel of air to have an instant demarcation from nil wind to 300 knot wind without going through a (very very turbulent) transition layer. And 300 knot winds?? Maybe routine on Venus or Jupiter, but very very rare if not nonexistent on Earth.
I don't understand how [1] makes your argument... Sure economy is important, but the question is, do the policies differ? Like, it's probably 99% important to voters that they elect a "natural-born American" but if both candidates fulfill this condition, it makes 0% of the decision to whom they will vote for.

I perceived (and I thought many other people did also) as Sanders running more on economic issues (equality, taxes, etc) and Hillary running more on social justice issues (deplorables, "woman card", equal pay, immigration, racial justice, etc)

Isn’t the difficulty level calibrated based on 10 mins per block? I don’t see how your statement above can be true. Seems like it goes from one reward every 10 mins (on average) to 0 rewards as soon as the last one is mined.
I have a similar project in C++ supporting SSE2,AVX2, and AVX512 here: https://github.com/dnbaker/vec.

I've used it for numerical code and sketch data structures, for example. (See https://github.com/dnbaker/frp or https://github.com/dnbaker/sketch, respectively).

Most of the work I do, the compiler just isn't able to vectorize, so I just write intrinsics. I similarly wrapped FFTW and the Sleef trigonometric function library so that I can generate optimal code for a variety of types and architectures.
Sounds like WakaTime can help you. It's an automatic time tracker for programmers, but the part you would like:

But isn't that why companies hire employees on visas to begin with? I would venture to guess for every 1 truly pioneering mind that is working in the US on a H1-B visa there are 100 people working on CRUD software at Amazon or Microsoft.
> [The speed of sound] is affected by the density of the air (which is a combination of the air pressure and temperature)...

This is incorrect. The speed of sound in an ideal gas is a function of temperature only, and not its density. Namely, it is sqrt(gamma x R x T), where R and gamma are unchanging properties of the gas.

I can't prove this scientifically, but yes absolutely of course "hard core" gamers are more likely than casuals to be raging toxic asshats in any kind of competitive environment.
Absolutely not. I would encourage you to look into "at will" employment law in the US. The employee may have a case for receiving unemployment benefits in that situation, but it is completely within the legal rights of the employer to do that in the US if the state has employment "at will".

I agree with you, additionally it's important to understand the concept of a "starter home." These homes may be much older, in less than ideal neighborhoods, and need you to put some sweat equity in them. The mistake I see some young people making is being unwilling to accept a home of lower quality than the ones their parents currently live in. They often don't see that this is their parents' second or third home that they've upgraded to. I don't blame the young people, I think this is a failure of the parents to set reasonable expectations of how to build a life.
I came here for exactly this comment. Props.
It is rare because other systems that form these objects are VERY far away (trillions of KMs). Imagine trying to slide a hockey puck from one end of a hockey rink to the other, but have it pass through a small (~1M) circle at the far end from you. If you took 1000 attempts even randomly, you'd probably hit the circle by accident at some point. Now someone else is also shooting at the circle, but they are 50,000KM away. Suffice to say no matter how many attempts that person takes, it will be significantly more rare to see their puck cross through the circle than yours.
Sine waves do exist. They are the 2D projection of a circular spiral, which is fundamental to the properties of the physical world. This is rarely explained fully when these concepts are introduced in trigonometry (which should more properly be called "circleometry") because of the higher level maths required before introducing imaginary exponentials.

The computer your are using would not work without sine waves. The nanometer scale chips couldn't be manufactured without them. The high speed signals transmitted over its wiring would not reach their destination without knowing how to manipulate them.

A deeper question is what to make of "uncountable" transcendental numbers.
Proof assistants are like that. Check out Coq or Agda. If you aren't aware of it already, your spirit is calling for the stuff they talk about a lot in the functional programming community.

Any team game has far more efficient communication when you have voice chat.

Heck, even a "casual" MMO like PvE Guild Wars 2 games, have chat-rooms and voice-chats because its way easier to specifically say "My Rocket Boots are charged, can anyone drop a light circle?". And that's not even truly competitive or "hard" compared to FPS games.

Go into PvP Guild Wars 2, and you won't get anywhere without voice chat. Coordination is a huge element of the game.
Just that: faster speeds, except it'll be far spottier than a 1Gib -> 10Gib ethernet upgrade due to a collection of issues that will make it hard to get full 5G speeds on a regular basis.

I'd take 4G LTE as implemented in much of urban Japan over hypothetical 5G any day. I witnessed nigh-instant web page load times with my phone reporting zero bars in the Tokyo subway once. Over a period of weeks, I can't recall having anything less than a "pretty darn good" level of service, no matter what the signal was reported as. In the US, I find that two bars is slow and sketchy, while one bar (still @ 4G LTE reported service!) is often a "forget about it" level of service. I.e. I'd take service consistency over theoretical-max-speed any time.

On that basis, I suspect the signal consistency challenges 5G faces will make it a very frustrating service for many real-world users.
Yes, it works fine with Firefox. I looked up for Widevine in Synaptic and found nothing. Same thing with Chromium extensions. I'll keep researching.
For me, having a clearly stated PTO policy saves me so much anxiety that I don't mind the minor(?) reduction in flexibility.

I'm mildly affected with Asperger's. There are many aspects of workplace culture that are obvious to other people, but which I take a long time to clue in regarding. This has included figuring out the reasonable boundaries for unlimited PTO in the past, especially when it required having to "read" my manager to figure out the acceptable timing and quantity of PTO.

My current employer strikes the perfect tone for me: they offer unlimited sick/family leave, but ask that we shoot for approximately N days of actual PTO per year. (Where N is clearly stated.)
As someone who looked into a job at Chick-Fil-A but ultimately decided that it was not the right place to work for me, this sounds awesome and has cleared up a lot of things.

Perhaps you could help me understand how to reconcile this culture of compassion and mission statement (specifically the part about having a positive influence to all) with the fact that Chick-Fil-A is consistently scored at zero on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index.

Is there any movement to get this fixed? If your corporate purpose is truly to have a positive influence to all, then why not put sexual orientation in your non-discrimination policy?
Let's put it this way:

"Sure, I'll consider abandoning all priorities (i.e. social life) and/or putting off others (kids) -- and maybe even take minor risks on my health -- if you you're able to appropriate compensation."

Guess what, though? In the vast majority of cases -- even when we're talking about the bulge-bracket FAANG salaries occasionally gloated about in these and other parts -- simply don't come anywhere close enough to providing that level of compensation.

All of their pretensions to the contrary.

Creating a Landing Page in Django
It's been accounting rules for a very long time. It's pretty much Accounting 101. If you accrue liabilities that you're obligated to provide (either in the form of employee time off or pay-out upon departure), that's a textbook liability.

Which is why employers almost always cap in some form or another; the exact mechanism is partially determined by state law.

I worked for a company once that, during a bad spell, eliminated an accrual cap to encourage people to bank vacation. The result was that a not small number of people who weren't really into taking vacation just let their balances balloon. The company eventually forced people to work down their balances.

"Not sure what you're getting at with transfusion vs. circulatory system"

Because having a graft like they did to the mice is closer to the equivalent of a new kidney, liver, lung, and pancreas transplant than it is to a blood transfusion. The original experiment is no where near close to what is being sold and there are no controlled trials that show a "young blood" transfusion provides benefit.

I’ve always heard of blacklists but I seriously doubt their existence. Who would trust such a thing? It also sounds illegal as shit so I assume you can’t do this for profit.
Why worry about being banned? Why would you want to continue to do business with a company that treats you like this? When I get to the point where I am contemplating a CC chargeback, the bridge is already burned.
I am not against any sort of action. I am just not for overinvesting in inferior products like solar and wind and claiming the sky is falling as if we are doomed if we don't go to some sort of extreme. We don't need governments to pick winners it's a waste of resources. We need them to state what criteria energy production should meet. That's how you do things rationally and with your head rather than your emotions.

I could ask you another question. How far are you ready to go? Are you going to war with China over coal? With India? Are you going to hinder developing countries from using fossil fuels?

If you really believe it's catastrophic then drastic measures are going to be needed not just feel good things like going vegan and saying "i believe in climate change"
My standard way to think about stuff like that is to extrapolate to infinity: even if your tail wind were infinite and you’d arrive in 0 time, your way back would have infinite headwind and you’d never make it back.

Conclusion: increased wind increases the round trip time.

Why would China become less authoritarian? They can continue to grow and gain power without doing so.
Workers are awesome. They are so innovative in a truly transformative way. It will be exciting when/if the cpu time gets extended so this can be used for server side rendering of user interfaces, such as with react.

I think my favorite use case at the moment is to use them as a fault tolerant highly available proxy solution. So you could have mydomain.com/blog be served by a microservice that is separate from your primary monolithic app.
Latency is the sum of its parts. It doesn't matter if the latency from the cell tower to your phone is 1ms or 10ms if the rest of the trip takes 100ms. It's nice to keep some of the latency down, but it's not going to magically enable 1ms transatlantic communication.
If you just mean that major Telecom companies are hyping this in their advertisements, well duh. But for technical folks, I've only heard them raving about the techniques being used being insane, and they indeed seem pretty fantastic to me. That this is only (!) increasing bandwidth and lowering latency by an order of magnitude is true, but less important.

Similar things can be said about the insane techniques that have been used to increase processor power each order of magnitude.

So where are these statistics? All I've seen in this thread, and others on the topic, are anecdotes. If people are going to complain about how it didn't work for them then it's only fair to mention how well it worked for the company I was at.

I also disagree that my comments haven't been helpful. There's a difference between the concept of "unlimited PTO" and any particular implementation of it, and it's important to know where a problem is coming from. Perhaps there should be regulations around it, but getting rid of it entirely, as suggested elsewhere in this thread, isn't the answer.

We wouldn't ban all cars because one brand is unsafe, so let's not get rid of all unlimited PTO policies just because some companies do it wrong.

Thx for the VIN info!

Unfortunately, as mentioned, Tesla 404'd those links. I'm just not sure why I'd believe this data is correct. At least when Tesla was backlogged for US orders, VINs weren't assigned until a few days before delivery. As another commenter pointed out, they have a number of systems that seem to not agree with each other. The twitter thread's mocking "who wants to buy a flooded car" post is written as if he's caught some nefarious plan to sell an un-saleable car, when, in fact, it just seems to be further evidence that the data is garbage. Not to say it's not legitimate, just that it's not GOOD.

It just seems so silly for this guy to suggest that Tesla is a garbage incompetent company on the verge of perennial bankruptcy, but some web portal is clearly the Source of Truth of all inventory data, and couldn't possibly be in the sort of disarray they accuse the rest of the company of being.
> The problem with this story is that it's more about an abusive boss at Amazon than Amazon.

No, the author lists a whole bunch of names from HR. That's not just an abusive boss, that's an abusive boss protected by HR, which makes it a story about Amazon.

I worked at Amazon and never had any issues like that. In fact, my experience was completely opposite and I had several wonderful bosses, great co-workers, awesome environment and fun things to work on.

I'm certain there are many stories like mine. That doesn't matter at all, as long as there's one case like Oleg's.
I don't know how people can stand to lug around a machine like that.

Bullies are often beneficial to the person they work under. That person can delegate unpleasant bullying-work to the bully and the bully will never bully his boss.
It sounds like you're mostly frustrated with the fact that the bars on your phone are lying to you, which is true but sorta separate.
I used to think big tech companies like Amazon and Google would be different, however now I see they are just becoming like any older traditional corporation with a HR department functioning like the stasi and the ability to oppress through mass policies and hiring contracts.

We are lucky as developers to have a fairly easy way of life but I still follow my Grandpa's advice from years working in the shipyards of Glasgow:

If you can get contract jobs for aerospace, petroleum etc. then yes. For example, short order prototyping in aerospace and repairs in petroleum. Kind of like getting a programming related job, it takes some networking and reputation. Custom work for cars/motorcycles can also be good with networking and reputation. Other than that, it's basically being the cheap mechanic that can fabricate new parts instead of buying them. Which is not good in the good-vs-evil sense, but not so lucrative.
> I find it disturbing when men do scientific studies to determine if women's stated experiences are real.

women as a group do not have "stated experiences". individual women do, and if you talk to enough of them you'll find out that they have very different experiences and opinions.

most women I have talked to who play competitive video games do say that they experience gendered harrassment, and I don't see any reason to disbelieve their individual accounts. on the other hand, I don't actually know very many women who play these games, so my sample is pretty small and possibly skewed by all the filters that influence whom I am likely to have a conversation with.

if I cared a lot about this specific issue and wanted to collect more data and apply stastical techniques, why would that be disturbing?

Another thing that has not been discussed yet: OpenAI does not want to be responsible for the output of this model. Can you imagine the headlines? "OpenAI released a text generating AI and it is racist as hell". People should have learned their lesson after the Tay fiasco.

I am ambiguous on the issue of release vs. non-release, but the mockery and derision they faced makes me ashamed to contribute to this field. No good faith is assumed, but projection of PR-blitzes and academic penis envy.

Perhaps AI researchers are simply not the best for dealing with ethical and societal issues. Look at how long it took to get decent research into fairness, and its current low focus in industry. If you were in predictive modeling 10 years ago, it is likely you contributed to promoting and institutionalizing bias and racism. Do you want these same people deciding on responsible disclosure standards? Does the head of Facebook AI or those that OK'd project Dragonfly or Maven have any real authority on the responsible ethical use of new technology?

I am not too sure about the impact of a human-level text generating tool. It may throw us back to the old days of email spam (before Bayesian spam filters). It is always easier to troll and derail than it is to employ such techniques for good. Scaling up disinformation campaigns is a real threat to our democracies (or maybe this decade-old technique is already in use at scale by militaries, and this work is merely showing what the AI community's love for military funding looks like).

I am sure that the impact of the NIPS abbreviation is an order of magnitude lower than that of this technology, yet companies like NVIDIA used Neurips in their marketing PR before it was officially introduced (made them look like the good guys for a profit). How is that for malaligning ML research for PR purposes? Would the current vitriol displayed in online discussons be appreciated when there was a name change proposal for the betterment of society?
