The market does not pay for anything. Individual buyers pay for things, and individual buyers and sellers determine the value of items, at a certain place, at a certain time.

Most everyday items are sold “one size fits all” (but not in large quantities) in developed countries (since the seller's time is valuable enough to offset the extra revenue (or loss) from price discrimination), but there are quite a few places in the world where people still haggle over the price of tomatoes and onions.

But even in the developed world, once you move beyond low margin retail items that are not expiring goods, there is no single sale price. Sometimes price discriminating turns off more customers than the revenue it generates or the labor it costs the seller, so it doesn't make sense for a seller to do it. Sometimes it's worth it, so some sellers might.

A process cost is basically the 2 years of Fab time. And a Fab is expensive due to the capital equipment (your opportunity cost). A 10B Fab Costa about 2B per year, thus process development is 4B.

I think those design costs are nonsensical. There are major projects done by groups of 100 or fewer engineers. A really unique design can cost that much, but a licensed design built.on standard cells is less. That is how rocketchip, RiscV, and others get by. As an approximation, every M$ is 2 engineer years. A 100M$ design is...200 engineer years. With an ARM license and other IP, that is likely manageable.

There is a large infrastructure of design tools that keep design costs constrained per design. Fab costs are not so easily limited....

Thanks for this - sounds like you're pretty knowledgeable on the topic - don't suppose you have any recommendations for books or other sources for further reading?
I think you're being overly optimistic. HTTPS still reveals domain names in many cases, traffic type, probably down-to-the-minute details of app usage. And this is leaving aside a bunch of (still potentially) unencrypted HTTP nonsense like advertising traffic, which -- ugh -- may contain all sorts of identifiers jammed into HTTP GET requests.
Artificial Intelligence Can Save Your Life
What would IMO be a better solution is something like the pyramids - something huge, with a lot of data written down / chiseled in without any weirdness like parity bits or binary code, and a lot of redundancy. Imagine the pyramids but made out of modern materials, resistant to erosion and earthquakes. Ceramics? Silicon?

Either way it'd have to be legible without the need of a microscope or computers. Write the same text down in a few dozen vastly different languages, so you've got a modern day Rosetta Stone.

And of course, build it somewhere remote and seal it. Bonus points for a stable atmosphere, fill it with a heavy noble gas or make it a vacuum.

Walmart Grocery’s New Subscription Model “Delivery Unlimited”: Worth Trying?
Why Go is a good language for microservices?
One key take away, Wal Mart sells a lower priced version along with supplied for testing. Well that is all and fine, they do list some reasons it isn't ideal but they leave out the big one. Most people under insurance or government provided health insurance are not permitted to use it.

Throw in over regulation besides limiting which types are available also can interfere with refills of both insulin and testing materials and even require periodic confirmation by a medical professional you are still diabetic.

I tend to assume (not an expert or insider) that if Intel can’t stay in the process race on its own dime it will end up staying in at Uncle Sam’s expense in one way or another. Partly because China’s almost sure to continue its own efforts while TSMC is also always at risk of a hostile takeover by the PLA.

So much for half-sentences. Were you stating that telcos do have the legal authority to process, or were you implying telcos do the processing anyway, regardless of legal authority?
Although "5nm" and "7nm" look like physical measurements, they aren't; all they are is marketing labels, and the only thing you can be somewhat confident of is that if a single company has one process they call "5nm" and one they call "7nm" then the "5nm" one probably has physically smaller features and greater density of components on chip.

And although "2020" and "2021" look like actual dates, they aren't; all they are is marketing labels, because saying you're going to do something in 2020 is cheap.

So what we know is that TSMC say they are going to begin volume manufacturing of "5nm" chips in "2020" (reality: at some unknown date they will be making large quantities of chips on a process to which they have found it convenient to attach the label "5nm"), and that Intel say they are going to launch "7nm" chips in "2021" (reality: at some unknown date they will be making unknown quantities of chips on a process to which they have found it convenient to attach the label "7nm").

Whether TSMC's "2020" is really earlier than Intel's "2021", and whether TSCM's "5nm" is really denser than Intel's "7nm", who knows?

(I'd guess TSMC are in fact ahead, but this isn't a field where you want to be trusting manufacturers' announcements much.)

> What about people who didn’t go to college? Or people who killed themselves to pay off their student loans?

I think you're misunderstanding the goal here. It's not to create equal outcomes. It's to stop the ongoing harm to students and to society from these abusive practices. Personally I think it would be better if these debts were capped at some non-zero number instead of being erased entirely, with the difference directed toward some of the other groups you mention, but at least this starts the conversation. Negotiation 101: start with an offer that's more favorable to you than where you expect to end up.

> This isn’t how a democracy should function.

This is exactly how a democracy should function - with proposals, then discussion, then votes. What about the back-room deals that have inflated college costs and created special regulatory exemptions for student loans? Anyone who complains about "populist pandering" without at least acknowledging the anti-populist pandering that led to this is being a bit disingenuous.

My Tensorflow comment was a bit unclear. I meant that you can't just download a generic model like the kind that is readily available, e.g. one trained on ImageNet or CIFAR etc, and expect that you can retrain it easily and get a diagnostic tool that is competitive with an expert. The models in the paper you link were specifically trained on medical imaging data.

My point is that you need a lot of work to make this work even for one hospital, let alone scale to many, even more so scale at the level of a national health service. I don't see that the paper you link contradicts this.

Edit: if I may summarise: I said "it's not simple" not "you can't do it".

Transfer learning is not generalisation to unseen data. If the pre-trained model and the end model don't have any common instances it doesn't work [Edit: "don't have any instances with a common feature space" is more clear].

Also, you're talking about generalisation to new devices. My understanding is that this is only one aspect of the difficulties with scaling image recognition for medical diagnoses to data from different sites.
I wonder how much carbon was emitted from all your investments.
Each year, more than 11 million maritime containers arrive at our seaports. At land borders, another 11 million arrive by truck and 2.7 million by rail. Tens of thousands of packages arrive every day by air.

Carriers, to clear stuff through customs, have to have appropriate documents that have the shipper/importer of record/adequate description of the goods/country of origin. This then gets, by the vast majority of brokers anyway, transmitted electronically to Customs and the vast majority of packages are never inspected.
I don't know about that.

I've sold off an Elektron Analog Four, Elektron Analog Rytm, Elektron Octatrack and an Access Virus Ti 2 less than a year ago and started working exclusivley in the box and using two ableton push 2 as midi controllers and I honestly do not miss my hardware at all.

Well, the alt-right's a broad, unconcentrated counterculture. It's easy to see hypocrisy and dishonesty amongst the mainstream political culture, so there's an allure to aligning against it, secretly or not. I imagine if the mainstream political culture in e.g. america had been headed rightward for the last however long, we'd see a bigger alt-left... but who knows.
You say elsewhere in the thread; you and others use discounts because it's a psychological trick that makes buyers feel good - and thus more likely to buy.

> If I'm a seller, I can raise the price 100% at 10AM, and then put a sign that says 70% off. And then the next day, I can reduce the price 100%.

Sure, you can do that. Or, you could simply list the price that lets you have some margin while still being competitive. Why would you do the former rather than the latter? Only because of a clear intent to abuse the customer.

> Booking.com claiming so and so is selling out quickly! What is quickly defined as?

Words have meanings. I can't tell you what exactly "quickly" is defined, but I believe everyone reasonable would assume it's something around minutes to hours in this particular business. Ask yourself, what would you assume?

> Until there are falsifiable metrics being falsified, I don't see what the abuse is.

I.e. until there's a clear and unambiguous statement that turns out to be purposefully false, you don't see a problem? Most lies aren't using clear and unambiguous language precisely because that makes them easier to spot; it doesn't change the fact that the intent is malicious towards your fellow human beings.
The criticism that I am also willing to go with is that dimensionality in statistics / linear algebra / machine learning assumes abstract dimensions, where readers of popular science assume physical dimensions.

When the number of dimensions is so close to 3, and the subject of discussion is ways to physically store data, this appears misleading.
> Maybe its time to change definitions or terms.

You should not change definitions/terms, but rather introduce new definitions/terms if you want to express something different.

Any sane language having optional arguments is using keys for opt args. That's what common lisp and OCaml do.

In OCaml you would write:

val parse_int : ?radix:[`Bin | `Oct | `Dec | `Hex] -> string -> int

and call it like

parse_int "42"
- 42
parse_int ~radix:`Bin "111"
- 7

I am curious if this applies to the workforce. I spend a lot of time in meetings taking notes using OneNote. Some colleagues use Evernote, while others use pen and paper. Then there are some that take no notes at all.

Yet, when we discuss things the next week (weekly meetings are common where I work), some people seem to not remember anything about the prior week's meeting.

I use my laptop to quickly look up last week's notes and reference those while discussing weekly progress. Others do OK with one or two subjects (from memory), but lack detail or flat out do not recall other discussion points.

>For the extreme longevity version of the Rosetta database, we have selected a new high density analog storage device as an alternative to the quick obsolescence and fast material decay rate of typical digital storage systems. This technology, developed by Los Alamos Laboratories and Norsam Technologies, can be thought of as a kind of next generation microfiche. However, as an analog storage system, it is far superior. A 2.8 inch diameter nickel disk can be etched at densities of 200,000 page images per disk, and the result is immune to water damage, able to withstand high temperatures, and unaffected by electromagnetic radiation. This makes it an ideal backup for a long-term text image archive. Also, since the encoding is a physical image (no 1's or 0's), there is no platform or format dependency, guaranteeing readability despite changes in digital operating systems, applications, and compression algorithms.

>Reading the disk requires a microscope, either optical or electron, depending on the density of encoding and could be combined with an Optical Character Recognition system to read the text back into digital formats relevant at the time of reading. We are keeping our encoding at a scale readable by a 1000X optical microscope, giving us a total disk storage capacity of around 30,000 pages of text.

IMO it's misleading to think of the "sides" in these things as giant monoliths. If I had to simplify I'd say in wars, civilians and soldiers on any side lose, people selling arms win, people winning elections based on fearmongering win, and so on. I wouldn't divide the "sides" by countries, but by activity.

> So fine, let's just drop all the discussion, we save a lot of trees, we can throw out the newspapers and most of the scholarly literature, and just come out, state it straight, and tell the truth: we'll do whatever we want because we think we're gonna gain by it. And incidently, it's not American citizens who'll gain. They don't gain by this. It's narrow sectors of domestic power that the administration is serving with quite unusual dedication.

As someone that went through the process as a startup (in the US): the biggest impediment is timing/paperwork.

In the best case scenario, you apply as part of a round (filing out a ton of paperwork), wait 3-6 months to hear that you got it, and then have to receive the money in tranches (Which sometimes includes terms like net 30days). Often, you don’t get final payment till final deliverable.

How that played out for our company was for us to take out a loan against the award, just so we can get the work done.

So it helps, but as others have said as a small startup it is not easy to do. We had the advantage of folks on the team who had done this sort of thing multiple times, and knew how to navigate the process.
I'd guess the downvotes are for exaggeration.

Your basic point is correct. We have actually got 20%+ of speed ups in the last 30 years from better algorithms; not just better hardware.

Many programs are I/O limited and wouldn't see 100x from more effective CPU use (eg., Word).

Others need complete re-writes (eg., browsers) and are typically heavily optimized already.

I'd say we could squeeze another generation of Moore's Law just from software design; and another still from algorithm research.

I have a question for anyone here who understands how this works: is the glass from the article resilient to physical shocks like falling/shaking/heat/other mechanical stress?

Documents that are meant to last a long time used to be written on vellum because it is a very physically durable material. I understand that this glass method beats existing digital storage methods for resilience, but does it best traditional analog/legacy techniques?
The original article was talking about students learning in lectures. One might presume that the learning process ends with students being tested in a situation where they have no notes of any kind?

If that's true, then there's no point holding on to "the originals", because on the day of the test/exam/whatever, you won't have access to them anyway.

In essence, transferring knowledge from the original lecture via the written notes to ones memory?
I prefer the digital pen for sketching and doodling. I exclusively sketch on my Surface now. I also prefer digital reading because I don't have to carry a book around and I can ctrl-f. It's been years since I've bought a physical book.

However for taking notes I still prefer paper. It's really small aesthetic things like the texture of the paper and the no-latency ink. For some reason although taking notes with the digital pen results in better notes the experience of taking the notes is less pleasing to me.

Like I said I optimize for the best note-taking rather than taking the best notes. Once or twice when I was bored, I intentionally created illegible notes by writing in scribbles, or writing over a full sheet as if it was a new sheet.

Even creating illegible notes produced a learning outcome, and in some cases I felt the information stuck more because those notes were different and stimulating.
