Sensationalist headline, the entire article based on the statements from Nvidia on this blog post:
- https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2019/04/23/tesla-self-driving/

I'm not defending Tesla's statements on the comparison between Tesla's hardware and Nvidia's hardware, but it feels that the author of the article took an advantage of Nvidia's post to dismiss Tesla's progress on this area.
Yes, this is 99.99% of the image work that I do. Take a screenshot, add a box.

On Ubuntu there is no default tool for this, to my knowledge. I installed `pinta`, and it's way overkill and far more complex than paint.

A sane, default, "draw box on image" app is a good thing.
>When did they really add a new feature to PowerPoint that you had to have

Funny enough, the screen recording functionality added to PowerPoint a few updates ago is as far as I can tell the best simple screen recorder available for Windows 10 and the closest thing to native screen recording outside the game bar. Not sure why that hasn't made it into the snipping tool yet.

I learned from the article that KP's problem was that their firm bifurcated. They had a growth fund led by Mary Meeker which was likely responsible for a number of those impressive logos you listed.

Meeker's success with the growth fund happened as KP's early stage venture fund went into decline even though it was the original and the stalwart for decades.

The article mentioned that Meeker left last year with her entire team to start her own fund and one of KP's biggest problems has been the inability to keep its own talent. So "they clearly still have it" is likely in reference to people who have left with their 'web' and KP may not have anything.

Yeah, they are talking about two very different groups of people.
“The new 14nm based self-developed chip is fabbed by Samsung and is capable of 144 tera operations per second (TOPS) (two chips each 72 TOPS) compared with Nvidia’s Drive Xavier’s theoretical performance of 21 TOPS. It features two fully independent packages, each with their own with DRAM memory, flash storage chips, and power supplies. If one fails, the failsafe is the second one.” [1]

So the correct way to look at this is that Tesla has a redundant 72 TOPS chip compared to nVidia Xavier 21 or 30 TOPS.

It’s nonsensical to compare a stack of chips versus another. NVidia claiming the fair comparison is a 320 TOPS system with 2 Xavier’s and 2 TensorCores pulling 500 watts total. A single Xavier provides 30 TOPS of Int8 at 30 watts.

The redundant Tesla setup by comparison pulls 100 watts total. [2]

A fact check that just parrots Nvidia’s blog with no actual research or fair presentation of the numbers may be par for the course but not terribly useful.

I remember drafting up a blog post a decade ago where I theorized/ranted that tech workers would end up being the bad guys in history. I didn't post it because it seemed so unrealistic at the time (and because I don't really know what I'll do when tech is killed... maybe some kind of appliance repair?).

It's quite amazing the difference 10 years makes!

That claim would be more credible if you hadn't attributed a motive to legislation that was poorly sourced.

The recent Duncan v. Becerra ruling speaks to the arbitrary nature of the California laws.

I don't think your assertion about my motives is well founded, given the contents of this thread.

the outbreak map runs largely counter to your thesis.

You are doing a rather shallow analysis, which inherently contains a misreading of my assertion. I was speculating about laws as a contributing factor. This doesn't rule out other factors. If anything, the evidence you cited possibly supports gun laws as a contributing factor.

OR your not-particularly-well-established epidemiological theories to the cognitive problems of someone suffering from prion diseases.

Whoa, big nonsequitur there. I was only talking about the incidence of, not the pathology around the prion disease. I think your tone and the thread pretty much speaks for itself.
Very interesting. Can you give an example where you'd want to track a process that takes days or months to execute?
It's tricky. It's really easy for "I'll change things from within" to be a convenient rationalization for $400K total comp.

I considered it once again myself last year, when I talked with a big-name company, and my version that time was "I can do good work on good stuff, promote that over the not-as-good stuff, and generally be a positive citizen of the company".

Of course, I was also thinking I could really use the big-corp money. But when they insisted that I'd have to do the new-grad hazing rituals, I decided I was kidding myself that I was being considered for any position where I'd have any input into goodness, and they were really only considering me as a junior frat pledge.
The title alone makes this worth reading.

Palo Alto is a town where Millionaires complain about being treated like undesirables, because they don't make as much money as the vast numbers of people who have hundreds of millions of dollars, or billions.

I don't work at Google (and I don't agree with some of the things the company's decided to do) but have many friends who enjoy working there. From what I hear, Google has an organizational structure that is very favorable for regular engineers. Once you're hired and you put in around a year of work in a team, it's almost trivial to find another team. Engineers also directly evaluate managers and I've heard stories of mid to high level managers crying in bathrooms because of poor reviews from their reports. These factors combine to create an environment where teams are actively working to make engineers happy and content. Compared to many companies where managers make a lot of decisions in a room with no feedback given to or received from engineers, it's heck of a lot better.
I think perhaps we are in a sad state of affairs when the mere mention of Jews elicits an accusation of antisemitism.

You seem to be saying this work is based on convolutional neural networks. That's incorrect. It uses the same attention mechanisms from natural language processing which involve no convolution operations.

Convolutions have a different set of weights for each position offset (with a fixed window size), and reuse those weights across the entire input space.

Transformer-based networks like this work compute attention functions between the current position's encoding and every previous position, then use the outputs to compute a weighted sum of the encodings at those positions. Hence they can look at an arbitrarily large window and the number of parameters they have is independent of the size of that window.

I used Pinta to make a technical cutout illustration the other day, for fun. I should have saved more often though, because it crashed and took everything with it.

I also wondered why it defaulted to saving in JPG. When I opened my .ora save file, the colors had changed in a way that affected the antialiasing. It looked pretty bad.

Anyway, while I wouldn't recommend it for illustration work unless you save often and save to PNG, for simple image work and even charting it is pretty nice.

Do you have ideas on how you will make the governance of the registry open? Who will make important decisions around policies, and how will they be made? I personally find this to be the core reason I find it hard to use startup-run package registries.
>that feeling of being chased by something as you get older, that being bored isn't allowed and that you must be doing something at all times; just sitting back and enjoying the scenery isn't allowed.

In my case the feeling that I shouldn't be bored or should be productive all the time isn't the problem. It's the ability to keep doing stuff (in my case, stuff on the Internet) that is the problem. In point of fact, one of my hopes/wishes of getting off the web is to both laze around and be more productive. If I cut out an hour of web browsing per day, and spend 30 more minutes just sitting and relaxing, and 30 more minutes being productive, it's still a net gain in productivity.

Holmes never delivered a product that worked. Musk has delivered 4 Tesla models and counting, as well as VTOL rockets among many other accomplishments. Sure, he over-promises and under-delivers (or at least misses his timelines), but I wouldn't compare that to Holmes level fraud by any stretch.
Do you not see any parallels between the two? FICO scores are borderline discriminatory because it turns out that social behaviors and group membership is correlated with those scores.

FICO doesn't "care" if you're Muslim or black, but FICO scores can be absolutely used to discriminate against those groups.
I hate such comparisons. How about just simply cleaning up after yourself and not polluting the world with 20$?

If I dropped 20$ off a cliff, I would not get it, but I know I should.
80.2% of developers surveyed said that they code as a hobby.

As do I. My projects are generally one-off emulators of various 1970s-1980s 'home computers' and of interest only to myself and, very likely, no more than one or two other people in the world. I venture to say that most of us 'hobbyists' are also working on singular niche projects.
I know the common sentiment is that software is never "done" and there's always something that could be better about it, but I think Paint is fine as it is without any facelifting.

For example the Uber loyalty program needs to accumulate points (similar to airline points). A customer workflow receives trip completion events and updates the state accordingly. When a certain number of points is reached some actions (mostly calls to downstream services) are executed.

> as t increases, the delta between Musk and Holmes is decreasing.

Not at all.

Musk says wacky stuff on Twitter and has real trouble with public speaking. He is objectively not charismatic at all. Holmes was super polished and had everything locked down.

Musk is able to attract and retain top talent, and push them to accomplish a lot. Holmes could attract politically powerful people with her charisma, but she ended up pushing competent technical staff away.
This is easily explained by the desire of politicians to grab some time on the news. I didn't see much Congressional behavior or followup that suggests they actually cared about (or understood) the privacy issue.
Yea I frequently see sentiments like “if only everyone would stop working for X”. It’s true but when we’re all locked in a game of the prisoners dilemma, moralizing isn’t going to get us to move, laws and changed incentives will. I think americans finally figured that out about climate change, which is why we’re looking at carbon taxes instead of just public pressure.
JavaScript went from being a bad language designed by a BDFL to a good language designed by a very large committee.

It’s not the best language ever, but it is better at this point than similar languages such as Python or Ruby (good async, good type system, good module system, no decades-long versioning crisis).

The last part of your comment hints that your objections to Rust’s governance may be more political than language design related.
It's a nice article - you focus on matrices as a kind of operator that takes a vector as input and produces another vector. This is one side of the coin.

The other interpretation is that matrices are functions that take two arguments (a row vector and a column vector) and produce a real number. IMO this interpretation opens the door to deeper mathematics. It links in to the idea that a column vector is a functional on a row vector (and vice versa), giving you the notion of dual space, and ultimately leading on to differential forms. It also makes tensor analysis much more natural in general.
This is generally my workflow as well. One useful tip is that Alt+PrintScreen will scope the screenshot to only the active/focused window, reducing the need for additional cropping.

Decades ago, I bought a copy of his book, Principles of Artificial Intelligence. The A* algorithm is Dijkstra's search algorithm + heuristics. So you estimate the cost from starting point to goal through a node by adding the cost of getting to the node to an estimate of the cost of going from the node to the goal (the heuristic).

I always had him down as a neat, but he said in a speech to AAAI that AI needed scruffies as well as neats.

I wonder if they're trying to do something like drive traffic to certain products which they can ensure they have in abundance? That way they don't have to ship your favorite color flash drive halfway across the country overnight, they can just ship a pallet of them to your city and suggest you buy that one instead.

Legally speaking, city could have easily argued that parking space is not a private property and therefore they can easily enforce an agreement to be chalked. I wouldn't like this but the thing is that 4AM cannot be applied if you willingly relocated your private property in to a place that is not owned by you. This is the principle (I think) behind government able to search in whatever way they deem fit at airport because airport is not your private property. If supreme court upholds this then things would become very messy for the government.

> (2) The children didn't earn it, so they deserve it as much as anyone else. Inheriting it may adversely affect who they turn into as humans.

This goes against the idea that I should have the freedom to do whatever I want with my post-tax money. What if I decided I want to give my money to a bunch of random strangers on the street? Would you insist "they deserve it as much as anyone else"? It's an essential matter of freedom. Where do you draw the line? Would you say I can't donate too much to X charity, and must donate equally to all registered 501(c)(3) orgs?

What about me just going out and buying stuff? What if a super-rich person decided screw my kids, and chose to splurge everything they earned on incredibly-expensive vacations, cruises, food, hotels, etc. Are you going to attempt to use the force/violence of the state to prevent them from giving their money to whomever they want to give it to?

Reductio ad absurdum. The ultimate consequence of carrying your line of thought would be the appropriation of all income and wealth, a.k.a. communism -- which we know doesn't work very weell.

> (3) I believe in a large social safety net so that those who cannot succeed don't have to die, but rather can live out their lives comfortably. Basic income, socialized medicine, education, etc.

Ignoring the fact that every European country that does this has an absurd and shocking tax-as-a-percentage-of-GDP (it's nearly 50% in France) -- your "large social safety net" is only going to work in very wealthy countries (with high per-capita income). This wouldn't work in most middle/low-income countries, where annual incomes 30 to 40 times to lower than very-high-income countries. And my point being -- I think we should aspire to develop universal political principles -- not ones that break in certain economies, while barely-working (with extremely high taxes) in others.

> (1) ... Allowing people to hand down massive wealth

I don't really know what the solution is to this. I'd have to reflect more. What I can say it's unfair to completely take away something that someone truly worked to build/earn. Perhaps we could frame things to say that there is a moral limit to how much someone can "fairly"/"ethically" earn in their life, and anything above that limit, is society's to plunder. I don't know. I haven't found an idea that I find comfortable or confident supporting.
