It's not "data which rightfully belongs to individuals". It's data that belongs to the institutions reporting to the CRAs. CRAs are data aggregators. Everything they have on you was either gathered from public records or was sent to them from an institution that you do business with.

The real problem is that we use publicly available, non-secret data to establish identity. Instead, we need a secure, unique personal identification system, as well as tougher punishments for people that commit identity-based fraud and theft.

I remember my dad buying me a 386DX 40MHz Escom tower when I was around twelve. This was kind of a low end machine at that time, the 486DX4 with 100MHz being the top of line. But it was a big upgrade from our 286 with 8 MHz which to use I had to ask permission, while my father was fine with me being the main user of the new machine.

While the machine itself was the cheapest we could get at the Escom store because we were kind of broke (14000 ATS, around 1500 Euros in today's money), my dad granted me a Soundblaster 16 card, a double-speed CD-ROM drive and a couple of game collections on CD. One of those collections contained both DOTT and Sam & Max Hit The Road.

Making special boot floppies for managing conventional, expanded and extended memory so I could get those games to work was probably my introduction to technical trouble-shooting. And when eventually I got to get Sam & Max going and heard the Mad Scientist in the intro actually talking I completely lost my shit, because I expected no more than closed captions and some wavetable midi tunes in the background.

Loved that game so much for its artistic style and weird characters. Tunnel of Love, Big Foot, Giraffe Girl, the Country Singer douchebag ... what a colorful ensemble!
They are afraid of corporate espionage it sounds like. If any of that telemetry is ever swapped to some random Chinese telemetry firm there is no telling who snoops on it then.

Does MS actually include or access data from your emails and docs when they do telemetry? I thought it was more stuff like what apps are being used and what you use Cortana for and stuff like that. Which isn't great but also doesn't pose an IRM risk.

I'm curious if you considered or attempted to use pdfplumber's table extraction methods to separate tabular from non-tabular text. That would be my starting point on a problem like this, as picking the relevant rows of a table is far easier than picking from the set of all tokens. By the way, when you say tokens, you're referring to non-whitespace characters separated by whitespace? How reliable have you found pdfplumber to be in picking out words/tokens?
Virtualization support as well.
It’s true that ”light tracing” is some times used to describe forward-only ray tracing, but I don’t think there is much confusion added by the term here. Anyone who knows the terminology (so could be confused) also knows that no efficient path tracer is forward only.

Germany has always ranked pretty high in the economic freedom index [1], comparable to the US. The US gov spends nearly as much or more than most 'socialist' healthcare countries, so the myth of US becoming a liberal market hasn't been the trend since the late 1960s with explosion in the size of nation states across the western world.

Meanwhile more democratic socialist countries like France, Vietnam, and India rank in the middle. While the full blown socialist countries and just undeveloped economies in Africa with their starving people are at the bottom. There was a study showing the poor have a higher quality of life in the US than in France, despite far superior social support gov systems in France, due to industry, growth, and low prices and high variety for staples, luxuries, and entertainment.

Germany, very much like the Japanese, have such a unique work culture it'd be difficult to take their social/economic policies as direct analogies to most other western countries. It just wouldn't work the same without their cohesion and always working hard and following rules regardless of the top down hierarchical systems.

The list also correlates heavily with economic success which is sadly a forgotten idea these days when people would rather obsess about the rich instead of asking how to make people less poor. Previously it most often happens through decentralized entrepreneurship and industry. The number of new small businesses has been declining for years. Not to mention the times in history with the most success had a skilled workforce whose ability/skills was closely related to market demand (often through early employment and apprenticeship rather than taking a preordained academic route). So much of the educated youth have degrees and loans completely disconnected from any economic reality... then they blame the economy for not adapting to them. While politicians tell them it's all rich people's fault they don't have state funded back up plans for their poor investments.

Customer acquisition. You have a farm of Intel, you know Intel will be back in some years, what will get you to take a risk and bother with having some AMD in there? Less than half the price of the competition.

AMD is not trying to get as much money out of it, they're trying to get market share, in a segment of the market where "single product line all identical all across" is a big thing.

Last time they were on top they didn't, and Opteron failed to take enough market share (a story that is not as well known because the bigger one was the customer chips and Intel abuses with oem). They don't want a repeat.
The market decided that data breaches are not worth anything.

(I probably should not say this, but I will anyway: your comments regarding math and science always give me the distinct impression that you know the name of a lot of things without knowing much about the thing. You are frequently breathless about analog quantum computing, Lie algebras, Chu spaces, some universal concept of duality, but then you fail to respond with substantial arguments to people that try to temper the breathlessness. If you want to convince people of things, you should work on this.)
They screwed over much of the laptop industry in the late 2000s. Google "Nvidia bad bumps fiasco" or "Nvidia bumpgate".

This left the major computer vendors (Dell/HP/Apple etc) with very large bills due to the high failure rate of these Nvidia GPUs in laptops. It was right after this that Apple stopped using Nvidia, I've always assumed bad blood over this was a major factor.

The cost to Nvidia ended up in the hundreds of millions (based on charges one can see in quarterly filings from this time), the total cost of the failures industry wide is pretty hard to establish given laptop manufacturers weren't exactly in a rush to let customers know the extent of the issues...

I've been studying the bitcoin book lately [1]. Slowly but surely I'm getting a better understanding of all the pieces involved. I was inspired by an article I found here on HN, [2]. I saw that and decided I wanted to implement as much of the bitcoin protocol as possible without using any libraries.

I still haven't made too much progress. It was easy to generate private keys. Then I had to implement ECC. That took me quite a while to nail. But now I've got public keys on the curve mentioned in this article. Now I'm still in the process of mapping this into the public key hash. I got the sha256 hash working pretty quickly using just the psuedocode on wikipedia. But public key hashes are ripemd160(sha256(publicKey)), and I'm still having troubles with the ripemd160 hash.

After that, I'll base58 encode the hash. Then there's a couple of BIPs I wanna implement, the HD wallets and the 13 word mnemonics ones in particular.

Basically, I think this stuff's important for me to know. All these math abstractions are chained together in a certain way that gives us cryptocurrency protocols, internet monies. In the process, I get a strong foundation in cryptography as well as domain knowledge of cryptocurrencies.

Both Intel and GF had problems ramping up their new node. Intel has been stuck with chip shortages for the past year and is still on 14nm because of this, AMD was able to (partially) switch to TSMC. I'd say that AMD's ability to pick a vendor and potentially multi-source for fabrication puts them at significantly less risk of supply shortages.

All the rules of thumb seem to have massive categories of exceptions where they don't work, and that makes me suspicious of applying new ones that I don't fully understand.

DRY up your code... unless the two code paths look similar but aren't the same.

YAGNI... unless "it" is a database backup, a load balancer, or test coverage of your signup flow.

KISS... unless your problem is complicated enough that a simple solution only implements half of what you need.

Microservices are great... if you've got more than one team and can support the operational overhead of SDN and service discovery. Monoliths are great... until you're pushing code to them every minute and they become impossible to refactor.

etc.

While it is correct that none of the administrations since 2001 has improved anything in this regard, under Trump things are definitely not becoming better. Those who are telling us "but only illegal immigrants suffer", are wrong -- everybody is having it much worse, illegal immigrants (who are people too, and most of them are not doing anything wrong), legal immigrants (waiting times and quotas are getting nearly impassable), and American citizens, who have their rights violated.

Some of the Americans still think that most of these things are good, they think that all immigration is intrinsically bad for America, and perhaps they voted for Trump because of that. I, of course, do not agree (as an immigrant myself, from Russia to Switzerland), but as American voters, it is up to them to decide, this is a valid point to start the discussion -- as long as the truth is acknowledged, and not hidden behind statements like "it's only about illegal immigrants".

With increasing dataset sizes and more compute/experimentation needed to get state-of-the-art results, hyperparameter tuning is becoming important.
However, I think it needs to be supported by a framework for distributed computing. We also think it is better to centralize all hyperparameters is an Optimizer object rather than have to (1) change existing code and (2) have hyperparameters spread out throughout the code (which would have to be rewritten again for distributed training).

We did something similar to this, but it is data-parallel and is Python (built on top of PySpark) and supports a resource mgr with GPUs so that you can allocate GPUs to Spark executors. The main challenge we had was actually printing out logs live in the Jupyter notebook, while keeping the code Pythonic. Data Scientists do not like to leave their notebook to read logs - even if they know their are 10s of hundreds of parallel executors generating them.

> a new ISA (for server workloads) is a much harder sell than a new chip brand

It really depends. As long as performance is there and the apps work as expected, I'll deploy my workloads on whatever runs them for the best cost per transaction. Additionally, we don't have a say on what architecture our hosted services are on - if AWS decides my RDS databases are to move to ARM64, or Google decides my CloudSQL will run on POWER9 - I probably won't notice as long as the performance is right.

In the past I have deployed production Python-based workloads to amd64 and SPARC (I did POWER too, but for fun) without change. I'm most certain I can do the same with ARM64 or RISCV.
People also have limited reading and listening skills. They overlook context, caveats, and weasel words and their brains add in levels of certainty and promises that simply aren’t there in the original statements.
