> Ara runs at 1.2 GHz in the typical corner (TT/0.80 V/25 oC), achieving a performance up to 34 DP-GFLOPS. In terms of energy efficiency, Ara achieves up to 67 DP-GFLOPS/W under the same conditions, which is 56% higher than similar vector processors found in literature.

I wonder if it supports vectorized 8-bit multiplies and, if so, what its performance and efficiency is on those.

I've been looking around at AI accelerators a bit recently. They AFAIK only do 8-bit operations and are rated in TOPS (tera-operations-per-second). Google's Coral USB Accelerator (with an Edge TPU chip) claims 4 TOPS, at 2 TOPS/W. The Gyrfalcon Plai Plug (with a SPR2801S chip) claims 5.6 TOPS, at 9.3 TOPS/W. It'd be really exciting to have an open architecture chip match or exceed that. The Kendryte K210 is a RISC-V AI accelerator chip announced recently, but it only claims 0.25 TOPS, or 0.8 TOPS/W.
I've had that happen several times, but once I actually did the inverse.

I was working on an extraordinarily bad codebase, and stumbled upon some modular, reusable code that made my life way easier. I wondered who wrote this rare gem in that pile of shit, and checked `svn praise` for a change.

It was me.

It would have been the highlight of my then short career, if not for the fact that it meant there were no other semi-competent people on that project.
Isn't that a function of the delivery option you chose? If you go for the cheapest "drop it outside and maybe it'll be gone" option then why would you be surprised? Around here people who live in apartment buildings where stuff can't be delivered get their packages sent to work. Also they offer insurance, right?

I've had decent experience with FedEx myself, mostly in Canada but also some other places.
It's not required to be first, it's "suggested" :-/

But lets look at it another way:

* I buy an app on the App Store, and then find out that I have to use FB or Google login.

* So to use the app I have purchased I am required to allow the app and/or Google or Facebook to further their abuse of my privacy.

Alternatively:

* An App is shown as "Free"

* I install it, and it require FB or Google sign in.

That isn't free. Again, signing up for abuse of my privacy is not free.
Googlers can have civil discussion about politics, but Tabs vs. Spaces? There'll be riot on the streets!
Businesses post images and video of suspects all the time and solicit information.

Hell entertainment/production companies exist just to create shows that run these kinds of stories and solicit information from the public. Think of the host of FBIs most wanted who’s own child was famously kidnapped from a sears department store...you think sears, the FBI, or even the father have no right to show videos/images, public or private, that depict the suspect and solicit information from the public? Or even offer a reward for information leading to arrest?
It’s a smart business move for FedEx to be the key scale logistics infrastructure for everyone not Amazon rather than be reduced to a dumb pipe for Amazon - a scenario where they would get squeezed by the monopsony buyer over time. I bet Amazon had terms and conditions which limited FedEx’s ability to go after both of these markets.
Seems like it would be less useful on a non-Apple device though. I don't know about you but my Apple login is a nightmarishly long password and 2FA. Authenticating through FaceID or TouchID is what makes it usable.
Not to ignore the '/s', but you brought up a good point. We did add an unobtrusive disclose menu to our shipping tiers during checkout for customers to select their specific carrier if they'd like.

This seems to have worked pretty well for folks who have a strong opinion, and avoids the need make lots of guesses about what people like.

Generally speaking, the biggest shipping preference people have is 'Free'.
I totally appreciate this attitude. One of the most important qualities of software development is to solve the customer's problem with as little code as possible. "I am coder and therefore the more code I write, the more productive and valuable I am" is a blinkered mindset.

At the same time, you have to actually describe your profession somehow. Everyone solves problems. Solving problems is definition of productive work. A carpenter solves problems by cutting pieces of wood apart and attaching them together. A bricklayer solves problems by stacking bricks on top of each other, with a bit of mortar in between to smooth them out. A car mechanic solves problems by fixing cars. A surgeon solves problems by cutting people open and fixing their insides. Eventually it turns into a bunch of meaningless MBA platitudes. "We don't 'build houses', we 'deliver solutions' to people's shelter-related problems."

If you go to a good surgeon with a problem that isn't going to be fixed with surgery, the surgeon is going to recommend a different solution and possibly even refer you to a different kind of professional. "Hey, you just need to rest that knee and maybe get some physical therapy. Here's a physical therapist I recommend." People understand that surgeons are smart and will occasionally listen to them, so surgeons can get away with this. More importantly, surgeons understand this. Surgeons don't go around thinking, "man, I need to perform even more surgeries because I'm a surgeon and that's what surgeons do" (or, at least, they shouldn't)--they have a deep appreciation of what surgery is and when it is or is not appropriate.

So I don't mind thinking of myself as a programmer, because I'm a programmer the same way a surgeon is a surgeon. If you come to me with a problem that cannot be solved by programming, I will tell you that, because to do otherwise would be a form of malpractice.
Review process surely mitigates differences between "junior" and "senior" code?
And mine is that Google has large swaths of OSS code to show that they're competent at writing secure code, whereas there's a report out that Huawei is writing spaghetti code that is so poorly written that even security experts can't make up their mind to say whether it's secure or not except to say that they need to get their act together.
I very much disagree. The whole point of Python is to make programming as easy as possible, so that it can reach as many people as possible. Python literally gave up design optimizations like tail recursion elimination so that beginners wouldn't be confused with stack traces.

What about people who dip their toes in Python, then switch to another language? What about people who want to just replace their VBScript integrations with Excel and don't care about Python beyond 1-2 dependencies on local? You'd just push them back towards the less optimum situation.

Oh, and I just remembered, Windows 10 Home Edition does not ship with a hypervisor. You can't run Docker on Windows without Windows 10 Professional. That screwed my team over at a data science hackathon once.

If you're at the point where you're worrying about distribution environments, you're probably ahead of most people already, and you have the wherewithal to figure out what the state-of-the-art is in packaging and distribution, whatever that may be and regardless of how broken it is.
Seems like Web Assembly is one of those things that's changing so fast that a 2 year old article is probably already outdated. Is this still relevant?
Comes up often in my day to day, too. I work in tech (and invest in startups around the future of work). People wonder whether it's the beginning of something more widespread... and nobody's crying a river for Google employees, it's more that sometimes change begins with people in the best position to bargain...
Do DNA databases deter crime and limit recidivism?
This is funny because it is more the opposite case: they wanted the simplicity of returning a Boolean but the system doesn't allow that in this particular part of the pipeline. So they built a much more complex data structure to implement that simple Boolean.
What is your concern with HIPAA? There have been occasional breaches in covered entities, but overall the rules have significantly improved security and privacy in healthcare.
Electronic vs. Physical Task Boards
Had one yelling at me through the home office window the other day. Took me 5 minutes of blowing off his various pitches to get rid of him. So annoying.
The previous discussion was the announcement not the developer presentation that actually goes over the full details.

That conversation has a lot of people arguing about things that this video addresses.
There doesn’t look to be any speculation in this architecture.
Yes, you can sign up for free for FedEx Delivery Manager and set delivery instructions for your address. I don't know how effective it is though.
Not if you register one while you are up there.
I'd argue that this sort of thing is fine, as long as the `return` is not nested deeply. A function which starts with a list of 'early exit' simple conditions is fairly easy to deal with, compared with one where you need to read the whole thing to check that the value assigned to the returned variable isn't reassigned later in a different condition. Early returns can significantly reduce cognitive load if used correctly precisely because they exit directly.

Once you have complex bail-out scenarios, the function needs breaking up or insanity follows... but that's true of any sufficiently confusing decision tree.

Generally I have found `else` to be something of an antipattern. I usually find it cleaner to write the code as 'this special early bail-out with a return, and the other case is just the rest of the function'. A bit like pattern-matching in Haskell, or a `switch` block in which the default case is the usual one.
I also try to avoid reassigning variables, eg. in Typescript everything would be `const`.

But like all generalities, these have exceptions!
The writing is on the wall, Amazon is going to be shipping everything themselves sooner than later. I think this just so that FedEx can focus on more profitable long term opportunities.
This type of issue is why I use LastPass, and not Apples Password manager. I'm very weary of how this would work on a non-mac device and I definitely use multiple non-mac devices regularly through a given day or week.
The mapping but not necessarily the user's activity.
Good option for people with low spec pcs, mac people, linux people and people without a computer (mobile users)

Plus steam already killed fisical media on pc anyways
Russia Says It Will Soon Begin Blocking Major VPNs
I gave it a go based on your suggestion and I found it a horror to set up (it forces you to write a new importer just for it!?) but it's quite nice once you do.
Pretty useless, as steam and other websites have already blacklisted the idbloc.co domain as disposable, preventing user sign ups.
Amazon just started sending me pictures of the package on my porch as part of delivery confirmation. Not sure I love this, tbh, but if many things had been stolen I guess I’s appreciate it more.
They don’t blur faces on FBIs most wanted, those suspects haven’t given permission to use their name/likeness...the show solicits information from the public and even offers rewards for information leading to arrest.
Fedex and USPS and UPS have all been fine for me

OnTrac though, every single time they tried to use OnTrac, OnTrac messed it up. Always multiple days late, and always a challenge to track it down and get it. Haven't had them in quite a while though, so maybe they got fired already.
Yeah, this is why the whole ad industry is moving to automated bidding which gives a bidder more rooms to improve. Clicks maybe a relevant proxy for the performance but still the most important metric is ROI which cannot be accurately predicted at the moment of bidding.

Sadly, there's a huge conflict of interest between user privacy and relevant ads targeting here; we currently cannot accurately measure ads performance even with the current privacy-invasive practices and this will get even worse without them.

This is why I think user-tracking needs to be standardized in a more explicit way; more accurate and reliable tracking can significantly improve ads relevance while it can give some level of user control and transparency by default. Of course, I'm 100% sure that this won't come anytime soon.
Yeah you dont get it. Have you even read the website? Like...why are you jumping onto the fear bandwagon before understanding what hackthebox is about. When you turn on you fill your car with gas do you worry about an oil tanker spill?
Play Breakout Within Breakout
Yes, possibly. That would make it fine for law enforcement to use it. That doesn’t make it fine for a for-profit company to use it in advertising.
Whenever I feel like an impostor, I like to go to github and look at other people's code.

Turns out, most of us are pretty bad at this job.

You're a human with a cool brain and an incredible capacity for learning.

Anything you don't know is just an idea whose name you don't know yet.

You're gonna be fine.
Ok, we've changed the title back to what the page says. Submitted title was "Fedex drops Amazon".
How does authorization (as opposed to authentication) work with apple sign in? With Google sign in you get an actual email that can be pre-authorized on the server. With this, the server only has a phony email to work with, so how can you match that phony email to authorized users?
I guess I rephrase: they didn't do any of the distributed systems stuff necessary for the cloud if people so desperately want to call all the network stuff they did "distributed systems". Technically they were distributed systems, sure, just like anything client-server, but irrelevant to the challenges of fault tolerant geographically distributed asynchronously communicating systems.
Is My House on Fire?
N4J's a good option if you have a dense graph (lots of edges) and need to do one of the handful of things it's good at with said graph (shortest path, that sort of thing). I would not recommend using it as a general datastore, even if your data's a little "graphy", because it's not great at stuff you'd think it might be, like "find this subgraph, then return some data from nodes related to each node", performance-wise, and it lacks tons of features something like Postgres has, including simply providing lots of built-in data types. I'd recommend using it in combination with an authoritative datastore if you just need to do some "graphy" things, using it as a secondary datastore just for certain purposes—it'll be safer and likely perform better.

[EDIT] it's also not nearly as well-supported so you'll find a lot of supporting libraries with multi-datastore support don't support N4J yet, or do but only in some crippled or poorly-tested (not widely deployed) fashion.

[EDIT EDIT] it's also not a great fit if you have a lot of constraints on or structure to your graph. At least as of when I used it ~1 year ago it had essentially no support for expressing things like "this type of node should only permit two outbound edges". You can work around that but the solutions will be less safe and/or suck.

I'm open to suggestions of a FedEx customer that'd have enough volume to bump all of the USPS's air mail down to second place.
Similarly I'm still waiting for the first time I have an OnTrac order actually show up.
Well it literally is in the news and loads of people walked out on google until they listened. Also they have a global pool of talent they can hire if they don't want to meet demands. Executives I can see being a big hit if they left in protest. But with 90 million dollar reward for forcing a subordinate to give oral sex as your punishement, I'm doubting they'll leave because they've likely got it pretty cushy. What's the reward for standing up and changing policy for the company better? Yay Culture Award.
I'm not sure you understand fairness. If the game is harder for everyone (in whatever metric suits you to contrive), it's just..harder
It helps quite a bit. The relevant web APIs were retroactively rate-limitied to mitigate these risks.

I don't think it's valid to say Apple can't access your data. Maybe I'm understanding it wrong, but wouldn't that mean all your data would have to be encrypted with a private key that only you have? All I use to access my Apple data is a password, which I can reset at anytime.
This is precisely the form of argument made by religionists.
Having worked in developing nation telecom - you might be surprised. Look at the % of people with HSPA+ or LTE data on their $60-80 (in local currency equivalent) Android phones in the eight largest cities in Afghanistan. Look at the growth of developing-nation specialist mobile phone carriers such as south africa's MTN expanding into rural areas of underdeveloped African countries.

It's not like the satellites are going to serve a walled garden Amazon internet, or that their main purpose will be to go to amazon.com and buy products. I'd be very surprised if the service didn't resemble a normal ISP in terms of default route out to the Internet for a full routing table.
That's answered in the video: They don't record app usage, they don't record or monitor email that goes over the cloaked address.

The problem with burner address servers:

* They don't protect against fake addresses (which is why many services actually block them)

* They are much harder for regular users to use

* They're annoying to use, and fundamentally require providing your email address to yet another third party

Apple Sign-In clearly make the use of cloaking addresses much easier.

Again this still only applies to "social" logins, you're welcome to have your own login system.
DOH makes Pihole ineffective.
I live on a private street. Amazon's "Amateur Delivery Drivers as a Service" routinely fails to find the private street, resulting in delays on packages arriving, and on numerous occasions, I have to go walk down to the end of my street to get the package from their driver.
My take: Mackenzie Bezos buys UPS - the only other big package shipper - and wrings Amazon for a greater cut of profits
Realize that you've been in this situation before and that as you got more experience you developed a sense of competency. It's not "fake it till you make it". It's you taking whatever knowledge and skills you have right now and applying them to the best of your ability with the idea that if you find yourself completely out of your depth on all some part then you'll simply ask for help. Even someone who has taken all the formal courses still needs practical experience. If you really think you're missing all that much try taking a couple courses or reading through a couple texts. Trust that management is pushing you because they see the potential in you and that they are willing to invest in your improvement.
For the reasons you mentioned, I assumed that to meant some decimal between 1.2 and 1.3 percent. And rounding the the tenths is more than enough. I didn't quite take that to mean anything sinister, though I'd have probably worded it something like 'just under 1.3 percent' to express that, if for the reason above.
What I REALLY want is simpler 2 factor auth.

Love iMessage autofill on text inputs from text message codes

But... Authy (arguably more secure) is super annoying to open, click, copy, re-window over, click, and then finally paste.

Would be cool if this somehow cleaned up the whole process.
I think having kids is a goal for a lot of people, e.g. the girl that is the subject of this thread.

>She has a career, and wants to get married and start a family sometime soon. Her boyfriend is a great person to be around and she adores him, but... he doesn't want kids (and is actually freaked out by them).
DApps, DAO’s, and Apartment Hunting: Everyday Blockchain Privacy Solutions
If nothing else, it is a godsend when talking to PMs. A junior may be like "this code sucks, it is too complex!!" where a more senior can be more like "This code is not written in a good way. If we had some time to rewrite these particular parts, we could provide these features to the users".

Being able to couple value to what you do, or for that matter, to what might not be worth pursuing, is a very good skill. And be sure to not often say no to a PM asking for a feature, but rather give an alternative "doing that is quite complex and might take us half a year. How about we do this other thing that gets us 90% of the way there, but only take a week to implement?"
Parasitic?

Here's an airline pilot. They're not being paid for the full value they produce, because some of it is going to pay of capital owners. And why should they receive some of the money? Because they put up the 70 million dollars to buy the airplane. The pilot didn't have that kind of money. And why does the plane cost that much? Because there are 150,000 people at Boeing who also want to be paid for the value that they produce.

You seem to want those with capital to invest it in companies for no return. That's... not likely to happen with the humans we have now. If you want the tools, and you or your company don't have the money to buy them yourself, then you have to make it worthwhile for the people who do have the money.

You don't. You use that feeling to improve every day. At some point you just have to jump into making certain decisions. And as you gain more and more experience you'll see that you make the right ones most of the time.
>How SoftBank got here is a story as old as man itself.
You see, thanks to QE, pushing investors out the risk curve fanned the largest venture capital boom in all of history. Trust me, I know this. I built, then sold a VC firm because I could see what was happening.

I feel he's projecting his own experience setting up and flipping a small VC firm ("Between July 2012 and April 2016 led the investment of $35M into 32 early stage venture...") onto SoftBank.

Mr Son "invented an electronic translator that he sold to Sharp Corporation for about $1 million" when he was 19, around and has a pretty good record of tech investment over the 42 or so years since, with Softbank started in 1981, and plans to be around a while ("... SoftBank Group, which aims to keep growing for the next 300 years") https://group.softbank/en/corp/about/philosophy/value/ https://www.nytimes.com/1995/02/19/business/a-japanese-gambl...

I don't think they got here as a response to QE.
On the plus side, those legacy devices are orders of magnitude better than anything that a beginner could build and can be bought relatively cheap through surplus stores.
In my experience, a dataset is considered large if its the largest dataset the company has ever seen. It could be 2GB and be considered "large".
I'm genuinely curious, so please don't take this as an attack. It sounds like (and please correct me if I'm mistaken here) that you're against abortion essentially because they don't affect you or isn't something you would choose to do. Is that accurate?

I'm curious what makes you against abortion, then? Most people who are against abortion don't want anyone to have them (with certain exceptions) because it's effectively taking a life. But that's obviously not your reason, and I'm must confess I'm struggling to come up with a scenario wherein you can be against abortions, but think they're okay for other folks. That doesn't sound like against it to my ears, because you are supporting it in general (i.e. you wouldn't vote to make them illegal). And supporting abortion would make you pro-abortion.

Again, not trying to attack or belittle or anything like that, I'm absolutely, genuinely curious.
