Empirically I have outperformed over the past two decades. But lets qualify that the backdrop market environment matters. If the market surges straight up 12-18% a year for years on end I will tend to drag. As a value oriented investor I get less interested when valuations are higher which admittedly can cause underperformance if momentum keeps pushing things up. You can't get off the train too early. I saw too many of my peers think the bull ride was over in 2012/2013 because they got too anchored to post-crisis valuations and failed to see normalized valuations as appropriate.

When the market churns flat I tend to outperform because I have a sizable yield component and my individual name alpha shows its strength. When the market crashed in 2008 I ended up the year on short positions so that really impacts longer run outperformance. In December I went on a shopping spree after being defensively positioned into it which left me much better off than if I had passively been long the whole time.

My point is that no one strategy fits all investing risk thresholds or environments. I like to aim for a nice 7-12%/yr with minimal drawdown volatility and hedges against nasty things happening. I look "stupid" if the market is up 20% in a given year and I am not. Over the longer term nasty things seem to happen every X years which has vindicated the approach thus far.

I was not comparing Flash to the JavaScript of the era, just pointing out that, as an end user, Flash didn't seem "fast" to me (on Linux, Android and OSX). Performance on a desktop-class CPU is also only one metric. Flash was clearly inefficient, it didn't use multicore, GPUs or hardware decoders. Was your Quake2 demo above using even OpenGL? Java applets could do that since well before 2008. The original Quake2 could do that in 1997.

> Care to guess why it was a flash-based game and not an HTML5 based game?

Anything would have been better, even bare HTML tables with no animations. The user experience of Facebook Flash Scrabble was awful (at least on OSX).

If you got an air quality monitor you'd likely see shocking levels in those scenarios. I got a laseregg two, and normal frying can send indoor air quality to unhealthy levels if something gets a bit browned. Even with a fan on.

It's portable and has a battery. Quite eye opening to test it in various scenarios.
US college scandal: How much difference does going to a top university make
Well, take a look around you right now.
Take special note of all the products and materials around you. How many of these contain plastic?

A lot? Thats why we cant "just stop manufacturing and using plastics".

So, instead of letting things continue the way they are (unsustainable) or just "stop manufacturing" (impossible considering how ubiquitous plastic is), we instead work on making the situation better (e.g., making them endlessly recyclable) while working towards phasing out plastics all-together in the long run.

It's not a switch that can be flipped. The road to a no-plastic world is through steps like this.

I was kind of fan of Uber in the beginning, but after the scandals it seems they're not different from any other big corp. Just greedy as others.
Is there any evidence whatsoever that GM would have considered Hemanth Kappanna an "undesirable"?

As far as I know, they hired him after his participation in exposing the VW scandal. If this exposing is what made him "undesirable", why did they hire him in the first place?

I find it more believable that this is just the usual outcome of corporate restructuring, i.e. layoffs in units.
IIRC the thing to be aware of is that a monitor that actually measures CO2 is going to cost several hundred dollars. The cheap ones don't measure CO2, but some kind of VOC as a proxy. So depending on the source of the CO2, they can be more or less accurate.

Something to research. I'm not an expert, just someone who recently did some shopping for CO2 monitors for my home.
Can you imagine how much headache would have been saved if Jupyter was basically Rmarkdown with a less R-specific extension and a more general backend? After years with R I've been doing a lot of python work lately and UGH it feel like JupyterLab is a decade behind Rmarkdown.

We wouldn't need special viewers in our source control frontend, or git hooks + tools like jupytext, or in-between editor plugins (VSCode)! By not storing state with input and forcing top-to-bottom linear runs, I think the entire field of machine learning would be significantly more reproducible than it is now.
The core of docker is just cgroups, and, well, they didn't develop it, that is in the Linux kernel and GPL.

What exactly would an enterprise version offer that would make someone pay a per-server licensing cost?
I suspect you're getting downvotes not out of disbelief but because most educated people in the developed world are already well familiar with the concept of fractional reserve banking. (For myself, it was covered in my 12th grade AP economics class) Your rather long comment doesn't contain any new information for the majority of readers.
Can you expand on your second point, if you have a moment?

I knew someone (in California) who crashed his bicycle on a curb in front of a number of people. He picked himself up and had a bloody but minor wound on his arm. But overall he was unharmed, just some surface bleeding.

"Of course" multiple people called 911, and an ambulance arrived in short order. He had insurance, but he wasn't interested in getting in an ambulance, he wanted to look after his bike while wrapping up his light wound, and then treating it later.

I'm told the exchange was awkward to say the least.
Neuroticism in the context of personality is not necessarily the same as having a mental illness or being "neurotic." There is some crossover between the behavior of someone we would describe as "neurotic" and someone with "high neuroticism" on the big five, but as a matter of personality, high neuroticism simply means that you worry more and tend to see things in a more negative, realistic way.

This carries obvious advantages in certain contexts as long as it is tempered and doesn't get out of hand. It has lots of disadvantages too, especially in the job market, but all personality traits have a downside if you score too highly. If you are too open, you can fail to weigh and measure risks properly. If you are too agreeable, people will walk all over you. If you are too extroverted, it can create dependency issues and alienation. If you are too conscientious, you can end up so consumed by the minutiae of life that you miss important, big picture ideas.
I can't see that link (it says the product ID is invalid), but I know that measuring CO2 is actually pretty hard and requires some somewhat expensive stuff, but measuring things like O2 is easy (i believe, i'm going from memory here).

So most cheap CO2 monitors are actually just oxygen monitors that aren't actually measuring the CO2 levels but are measuring the drop in O2 levels and extrapolating from there.

I don't know if that matters for what you might want to use them for, but it's something to be aware of.

I don't have mine any more, I actually borrowed it from a friend and it was a fairly expensive one (like in the $200 range) that he was using for some other stuff.
Sounds reasonable only if the text is a URI handler format; http:// file:// ftp:// steam:// etc.

But then what about almost-uri text. www.yourbank.com without the https://. Or lookalikes "https:\\" or... what about proxies? does https://l33th4x.com?proxy=www.bank.com count if the text is www.bank.com?

Filtering crap like this sounds reasonable but very quickly becomes an exercise in what I call "Giving a mouse a cookie." Now you have a huge complex chunk of code to parse and filter URLs/URIs and every look-alike you can think of; Did you remember that automatic deserialization that kicked in when your values were sent to a callback?

2 days of work later, your new build has fancy-pants a tag filtering that contains and unknown number of bugs and phishers just register and use new domains that look kinda legit and follow your new text/link rules. www.security-wellsfargo-audit.com/login looks legit to the mark, your mail client allowed it so it must be OK.
So... following that logic, air travel is the safest method available, so your argument is that we should stop regulating it? It's the safest method available because it is well regulated with an attendant long-standing culture of safety -- so much so that even a single breakdown (c.f. the 737 MAX) is considered an existential disaster for a manufacturer.

For an argument from the other side: you're notably looking at (well regulated!) electrical industry statistics for your safety metrics, but if you include unregulated (military) applications things don't look nearly so rosy. There are a surprising number of reactors sitting on the bottom of the ocean right now...

The other day the Guardian was inviting us to feel terrible about historic Uighur mosques being bulldozed: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/apr/07/bulldo...

...so I went and did a little research. It turns out that one of these mosques is a shrine to a certain Imam Asim, a charming fellow that played an important part in the purposeful destruction in the 10/11th centuries of the Buddhist Khotan kingdom that once occupied the area, during which destruction apparently 'there were years of battles where "blood flows like the Oxus", "heads litter the battlefield like stones" until the "infidels" were defeated'. Unsurprisingly this violence also included the razing of countless Buddhist temples in the area.

Thus the Guardian, apparently with a straight face, asks us to mourn the destruction of a shrine to a warlord when said warlord was part of a deliberate and concerted programme of ethnic cleansing and cultural destruction including destruction of the temples of an earlier culture. At this point my irony meter is off the scale.
> Can you imagine how much faster it would get if they released a chip with say 10k tensor cores?

I can, actually. :) Adding 10k tensor cores to a GPU would not make it run much faster, and would be prohibitive in terms of die space. Moreover getting rid of the 5,000 FP32 cores would slow down DL workloads significantly.

The 640 Tensor Cores vs 5,000 F32 cores comparison is misleading, because they are not measuring the same thing.

An "FP32/64 core" corresponds to a functional unit on the GPU streaming multiprocessor (SM) which is capable of doing one scalar FP32 operation. One FLOP, or maybe two if you are doing an FMA. V100 has 5120 FP32 units and 2560 FP64 units.

In contrast, a "Tensor Core" corresponds to a functional unit on the SM which is capable of doing 64 FMAs per clock. That is, a Tensor Core does 64 times as much work as an FP32 core. Integrated circuits aren't magic, if you're doing 64 times as much work, you need more die space.

Moreover, there is nothing to say that nvidia isn't able to use some of the same circuits for both the fp32 and tensor core operations. If they are able to do this (I expect they are) then reducing one does not necessarily make space for the other.

Increasing the number of tensor core flops by a factor of 20 (500 -> 10,000) would not make the GPU 20x faster, probably not even 2x faster. This is because you will quickly run into GPU memory bandwidth limitations. This is not a simple problem to solve, nvidia GPUs are already pushing what is possible with HBM.

Lastly, although you're correct that, in terms of number of flops, most DL computation is done by tensor cores (if you've written your application in fp16), that doesn't mean we could get rid of the f32 compute units, or even that significantly reducing their number would have minimal effect on our models. Recall Amdahl's law. We usually think about it in terms of speedups, but it applies equally well in terms of slowdowns. If even 10% of our time is spent doing f32 compute, and we make it 10x slower...well, you can do the math. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law

Indeed, I was just looking at an fp16 tensor-core cudnn kernel yesterday, and even it did a significant amount of fp32 compute.

The implicit argument I read in parent post is that nvidia could build a significantly better DL chip "simply" by changing the quantities of different functional units on the GPU. This is predicated on nvidia being quite bad at their core competency of designing hardware, despite their being the market leader in DL hardware. It's kind of staggering to me how quickly nonexperts jump to this conclusion.

Here's a talk I gave at cppcon about much of this (note that it's pre Volta). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHa-OSrZPGo&t=1s
Per the Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office (https://www.fws.gov/nevada/protected_species/fish/species/dh...):

"Devils Hole pupfish has much to teach scientists about adaptation to adverse conditions. It has adapted to survive in very warm water with very low oxygen content.

Envision each living thing on Earth, including humans, as being a thread in a piece of cloth. Each time a species goes extinct, a thread is removed and the fabric is weakened. As more threads disappear, one-by-one, the strands separate and fall away. Eventually, the original piece of cloth falls apart and disappears.

All living things are part of a complex, often delicately balanced network called the biosphere. The earth’s biosphere, in turn, is composed of countless ecosystems, which include plants and animals and their physical environments. No one knows how the extinction of organisms will affect the other members of its ecosystem, but the removal of a single species can set off a chain reaction affecting many others. Only time will tell."
It’s more like status signaling in my experience. There is a social reason to do it

Yep, that though experiment is specifically designed to show that idea of objective external source of morality is absurd.

Internal source like you described is also objective, it is shared among all humans and based on objective realities of evolution and history.

I bet psychopaths share significant portion of it with neurotypical humans as well -- they just have different weights among multiple contradicting heuristics and/or certain mechanisms working slightly differently.

Another gotcha with HSTS + includesubdomains is if you have a naked domain e.g. https://example.com redirecting to a www prefix e.g. https://www.example.com, but the server is configured to send the HSTS header for the naked domain.

It's not always obvious because your gut reaction is "oh my web site is on www.", but that misconfigured naked domain redirect might indeed break "randomservice.example.com".
We got support of the local university at my city and we got a bunch of free credits at AWS. Costs are very low and we want to keep it that way so we can support the most students we can with a free access.

I got a laseregg 2, and highly recommend it or a similar monitor. It's been very eye opening to see how various scenarios affect air pollution:

* frying indoors generally swiftly puts things in the unsafe range. Especially if it led to browning.

* a neighbour's bbq would do the same if the window was open

* idling truck on the street for construction? Unsafe range

* surprisingly, the toaster would raise levels if it was on high enough to brown toast

Really helped me make better decisions about when to open/shut windows and how to cook.

I got the laseregg after reading reviews of air quality monitors used in china. Apparently it holds up well to specialized lab sensors. It has a battery and can be moved around
You can check your site's usage of most of these headers with https://securityheaders.com. HSTS and more is checked by https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/. Definitely make sure you understand what the headers do before changing them. Don't just copy/paste what you see here.
This is a large American media company bowing to pressure from a totalitarian regime. Even Google bowed down after initially taking a stand. So many other's have as well.

Yeah. Bonsai Buddy didn't do much other than annoy. There were some pretty bad ones though. It was more tongue in cheek. The invisible mass data gathering, ad targetting and general invasiveness into every aspect of life is far more terrifying than some spyware feeding you the occasional popup.
Why complain to uber ? It's the driver's fault.

What would be the corrective action anyway ? That none of their drivers ever make any mistake ?
No, but 500 easily. I believe it's growing at about 3ppm/yr.

800ppm is looking plausible by 2100, though, unless we take major steps to curb emissions.
I'd still like to play with them just to get a better understanding of computers. I'm typically more of a math guy than hardware, but since I do program for a living, understanding the guts of how these things work could be really valuable.

I have been considering making a CO2 sensor myself using commercially available CO2 detectors [1] , [2] and an Arduino or similar microcontroller, insructions for which abound on the intertubes [3], [4]. Such a device can be made fairly inexpensively.

However, there is a known issue in calibrating the device, as the IR emitter and light sensor change characteristics over time. The calibration requires immersing the device in nitrogen or pure CO2 and is costly and complex. The workaround is to calibrate the device outdoors where there is an assumed 400 ppm CO2.

I only just became aware of how obnoxious these things are. We just took a trip to San Diego and stayed in the Gaslamp and these things are everywhere, from multiple companies. By early evening they're just dumped all over place, sometimes in piles. Then the people riding them are a hazard, if they're on the sidewalk they come around corners and almost cream pedestrians, if they ride in the street they almost get themselves killed driving like idiots in traffic.

I hope this trend goes away.

Attaching agreed-upon bad things like authoritarianism and terrorism and oppression onto arbitrary symbols like Islam and secularism is fallacious. Those superficial symbols make for terrible indicators of actual evil, and rhetoric like the above only serves to increase the injustice done to innocent people. See the recent Christchurch attack.
Operating at scale means you have to get good at handling the corner cases. Whether it’s AirBnB or Uber or Tesla, shit happens and they need to be able to deal with it quickly and professionally.

If cars getting dirty is the worst problem Tesla has with their Fleet, they would be doing pretty tremendously well at that point.

At least you never need to worry about background checking the driver.
There are a few basic UI problems I ran into immediately. You should focus on that instead of rearchitecting things. It needs to look sleeker, too. Pay some designer to create a new design for you.

Orchestration. Compose/Swarm, which Google gave away for free as k8s (In the interest of completeness, I'll add Hashicorp's Nomad will also orchestrate containers as well as binaries). The idea of Docker monetizing died with that action by Google (and to a lesser extent, Hashicorp, although Nomad does have an enterprise version which corps are paying for and using). Google needed something to slow down AWS adoption, and Docker was collateral damage. The rest of necessary tooling for container management (build, pull, push, local dev management, registries) is fairly trivial [1].

Now anyone can run Kubernetes (or Nomad), either self-hosted or with a hosted provider, which is great for the industry but not so good for Docker.
