> Incidentally PTX is a fiction - more of an IR than something with true throughput and latency numbers. I don't know if anyone programs GPUs directly but that would be interesting.

PTX is a fiction, but its very close to the underlying "SASS" assembly language of NVidia GPUs. There was some research done into this field here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.06826

They reverse engineered the SASS assembly language, all the op-codes match up to PTX opcodes. The main difference is that SASS includes control information, such as stall cycles, write or read barrier information.

In effect, it seems like NVidia's compiler figures out stalls and dependencies at compile-time. Memory-dependencies are written to each SASS assembly instruction in Volta, in a format that has changed differently each generation.

The typical assembly programmer doesn't care about these details (CPUs typically handle that logic automatically), so it makes sense to ignore them through the higher-level PTX Assembly language.

It seems like PTX is sufficient for understanding the general execution of an NVidia GPU. There's probably no reason to write the underlying SASS code by hand, especially because PTX matches up to the SASS opcodes. Furthermore, it is clear that NVidia is tweaking the details of those memory-barrier and dependency information, and doesn't want programmers to write against that abstraction level.
I favor this view of outcomes. The backlash caused by AMP in the first place was loud, but small. More people seem to be catching on with the negatives of it... AMP for email may not be the downfall of Gmail, but it opens new decision pathways that could be very harmful for the platform, such as inserting ads into private email conversations.

The patent in question is for "Multiple supply-voltage power-up/down detectors, and it sounds ridiculous on the face of it. Upon cursory glance, that appears to be the case.[0]

It's kind of surreal that two large tech companies who design and produce technology of staggering complexity are in a dispute over something so simple.

According to this quora answer [1] that quotes a whole bunch of court cases, the whole 'privilege, not a right' thing is bullshit.

Try taking it to the logical conclusion - what else is a privilege, and can therefore be arbitrarily denied? A bank account? Traveling by plane or train? Connecting your house to the power/water/sewage grid? Having a post address? Buying or renting a house? Sending your children to school? If you buy this logic, there's a whole bunch of 'privileges' that the state can deny you using some excuse, that would make living utterly impossible.

That the state takes away this right doesn't mean you should call it a privilege, just as you wouldn't call freedom a privilege because an innocent man was jailed.

I mean, as much as libertarians like to complain about regulations being the problem, nothing you posted there sounds too onerous. That's all pretty standard stuff for a utility, and a few hundred thousand really isn't that much compared to the scale of investment of wiring up a municipality.

What you say about the guidebook and rounded corners is (afaik, don't actually recall the guidebook part of the case but I do know they won on some other patents as well) true, but it doesn't change the fact that one of the things Apple did win on was "Apple patented rounded corners".

The patent that literally just consisted of rounded corners, not the rest of the stuff, was upheld as a valid patent and Samsung was found to be infringing it. Theoretically, if Samsung hadn't violated any other Apple IP, the court should still have found them to be infringing the rounded corners patent.

This is worth ridiculing, and outlines the state of the patent system, which clearly needs adjusting.
Why? GPU Programmers cost a lot more than a month-worth of supercomputer time.

Its probably cheaper and easier to just port your code to Amazon cloud or Google Cloud for a month, rather than to port your code to a GPU.
Apple doesn't have to know anything. You can also be liable if you sell, use, or somehow profit from infringed product.
That applies even if you're in US given what we now know from Snowden.

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Indeed, because of our limited resources, we are only able to share 3 articles per issue, which has a high probability for all of them to be a "miss". We are making moves to grow, and hopefully that means more articles per issue and thus more value to our readers.

I am also very glad that you find the number of articles found in Hackernews and Reddit is low. That means that my time spent shifting through my list of more than 1,000 (and growing) RSS feeds actually produces good results, which was a bet I made early on when deciding what sources to use for my curation.
What Mumble did that was great was getting people to use certificates. I never actually checked the thumbprint of the certificate, but it was a big step forward. I think it could have succeeded with "minimal" changes:

* Have you ever tried to self-host a server, especially on your own Windows machine? Setting it up is a confusing mess, especially the documentation. I couldn't get DBus working the first time I attempted it, so I gave up and paid for TS. Would it have been so hard to include a Murmur configuration dialog in Mumble?

* Ice? Why couldn't a simple HTTP interface work? Just look at all this troubleshooting overhead: https://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/Ice

* UX/UI matters.

Yep. Most wireless SEP holders (Standard Essential Patent) don't license at component-level (ie, modem). They usually collect royalties at system-level with smartphone OEMs. That's more or less been accepted as de facto industry practice for decades.

>My understanding was that Qualcomm is going after Apple because they think Apple is sort of the principal infringer, i.e. they gave Intel access to the infringing IP. But I don't know, maybe they just pursuit all parties in the name of thoroughness.

Well, they are two separate issues.. If you are familiar with GT Advanced Tech or had any past experience working with Apple as a supplier, it's not difficult to see why Apple and Qualcomm are here. TLDR, Apple doesn't want to pay; claims Qualcomm is overcharging and Qualcomm is a monopoly.

Apple is also known for making onerous demands to supplier for winning their iPhone order. In this case, Apple demanded Qualcomm's source code for their chipset and now Qualcomm alleges that Apple gave QC's trade secret to Intel, who is now Apple's baseband supplier.
I absolutely second this perspective. I started out working at a very large semiconductor company and put in my time there for about 3 years before testing the waters at ever-smaller shops. We even called it the 'systems engineering bootcamp'.

I feel the major advantages of working in a large corporate environment are that you will develop an inclination towards professionalism (e.g. how to write excellent emails and communicate with others) as well as a solid foundation in traditional tools and practices (e.g. SQL, manual release planning & execution, coordination of large-scale efforts, etc). By having these 'traditional' perspectives, I feel you can much more accurately and definitively identify & mitigate hazardous work efforts, as well as see certain types of risks in new technologies that others might not be aware of.

I strongly feel that if I had started in a much smaller company and stayed there for too long, I would be much worse off than I am today. The big companies sound un-cool (and they may be in some cases), but they almost seem essential for rounding-out your perspective as a developer/engineer/manager/etc.

Also, I occasionally miss the feeling of being part of a huge team, so I am entirely open to the idea of returning to a large corporation at some point in the future.

Holy shit, are you gatekeeping a quadriplegic?

Now I think you're right, but there is two strategies which boils down to the following: "you can either make a program that's so complex there is no obvious defect, or you can make a program so simple it's obvious there is no defect."

What it says is that the hard part to make the next programmer understand what the machine does is not reading code, it's code complexity. Training yourself to read terse code is O(1), understanding code is at least O(N) where N is the number of lines of code.

Before you start arguing, try it. Try writing code as simple and succinct as possible. You won't go back to anything else because it works. It does make programming simpler and more productive.
That's not a bad thing.

If you have an example of nuclear providing power at a cost 90% below wind, which is generally the lowest cost provider in the US please supply a link and support the implied claim that this is somehow representative of the industry and not cherry-picked.

As to the other claim you make, a quick look says that the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant in NY is the lowest productivity (i.e., provides the fewest MWH per year) plant in the US at around 6 GWH. In Texas alone wind produced 9 GWH (2017).

Except that it's not that uncommon, The Oracle/Novell conflict that gave us LibreOffice is an example of the trademark owner being derived of significant revenue by a more competent contributor who when the owner tried to take back control forked the project so successfully that the trademark on openoffice became almost worthless over the span of a few years.

The hosting providers have always absorbed a huge amount of the revenue from opensource web infrastructure without a direct payment line back to the trademark holder, as companies like SUSE and RedHat acts as successful middlemen and co-developers of a lot of frameworks they don't have the trademark on.

The idea that owning a trademark on an opensource project entitle you to the bulk of the revenue started in the VC circus about a decade ago prior to that you did it for other reasons or as a part of an consultancy operation in collaboration with a wider community. The OpenSource by license but build by a single company model expecting to operate on the shareware model of the 1980ies PC industry is what's new not the existence of non-paying hosting companies or large enterprises as potential rivals for support revenue.
This is not good advice.

1) The legislation in question has nothing to do with protecting individuals privacy.

2) The solutions you offer are essentially not productized, they are not usable to normal people.

3) There is absolutely nothing wrong with companies making money.

This legislation is not being driven by Google and Facebook, it's being drive by Der Spiegel, Le Figaro, The Times etc..

It's also being driven by scared EU legislators who think that all their surpluses are going to American companies, it's a very weak hand to play, the 'strong hand' would be to have exceptional firms in Europe, doing things there.

If Google were a Germany company, this legislation would not exist. Surely German media firms would still want it, but since the surpluses from the situation would remain in the EU, then legislators would be less assertive about it, to the point wherein I think it would fail.

Instead of this legislation, we need:

1) Some tighter privacy rules that actually do affect G and FB

2) Taxation rules for the 20th century - ironically, this is an EU problem as they have Ireland/Netherlands/Luxembourg as their own loopholes

3) Stronger local entities, particularly in Europe to create a balance, that would lead to less motivation for political interference.
There seems to be significant overlap between the two populations. SV “Stoics” are not the most loveable or even tolerable folks, and it’s not a shock that they draw a degree of scorn, mockery and ire. Where I think that reaction goes wrong is that assigns to malice what is more properly explained by a combination of cluelessness and a lack of social skills. Instead of blaming the cogs who drank the Kool-Aid I wish people would direct their scorn to the people pulling their strings.

Recognize it for what it is, a pseudo intellectual means of control for a group that would be largely unmoved by more common religious, or social structures. It’s also a coping mechanism for people working jobs they hate in a place they can’t really afford, while surrounded by the lottery winners of their field.

I think this is one of the reasons he does not release his code. K is such a small language, with a very limited number of primitives, that were chosen for the task they wanted to solve. Every user would want to change that one he never uses for that one he uses the whole time, so we would have lots of k implementations, each of them with its own mesh of spaghetti code and slightly different behaviors.

Talking for myself, I would love a FOSS version of k, but I am sure as hell I would patch a couple of things, and I am sure I would write much worse code than Whitney's (in his style or in my style).

Sad that you're getting downvoted, but it's true. Almost all US cities are pretty terrible to get around in without a car. That's bad for people's budgets generally, but it's especially bad for the poor/working class where a car represents a substantial financial burden, and of course some other demographics like the handicapped, elderly, and college students.

Plus it's more expensive for the government, causes more pollution, generates more danger, and hurts people's health. Not a lot of upside there.
