Venus and Titan have in common that probes landing there tend to only operate a few minutes before failing due to the extreme conditions.

A helicopter sounds great, but perhaps it would make sense to try to simply make a probe that can stay alive there long enough to do anything other than send a couple pictures back.

Are you seriously saying American media didn't report on the bad stuff that happened during the Iraq war? I know google is likely banned where you are but...

He is just saying that Chinese dependence on Taiwan for cutting edge semiconductor manufacturing is not that big a vulnerability. Even disregarding economic self interests, cutting China off carries huge political risk for Taiwan. You don’t need to bring in world war to see his point.

Swift is a relatively young language, meaning it does not (yet) have weird hairy bits to work around design decisions made 20 years ago.

Similarly, Swift is still getting defined in many areas. There is (theoretically) the opportunity to influence language design decisions to patterns that mesh better with ML needs.

This is largely my paraphrasing of the reasons stated by Jeremy https://www.fast.ai/2019/03/06/fastai-swift/

Ideas are cheap, but the skills to engineer ML pipes and the knowledge requirements to grok models are not. And the cost of testing some ideas not is not cheap either.

Lots of people have legit skills, high level math, pro software engineering, actual ML chops (I got mine), and probably significant learning in other sciences. But there is no door to walk through on that alone, only strange VC corridors and FAANGY career mazes.

There should be a wide door to support people with real skills taking chances. If 100K for so many silly startups is worth the gamble, so is the gamble on people who have gone the extra distance with their learning and experience.
When I wrote Go at work, this would mostly be annoying when interactively writing and running code; if I want to comment out the only line below that uses `a` and run it again, now I have to go back and change the declaration also. Once I want to to run that line again, I can't just uncomment it; I have to go back and declare it again. I would have to do stuff like this fairly often when trying to debug failed tests, so despite the fact that I'd never want to _commit_ code with an unused variable, I certainly would like to be able to _run_ it when debugging. I feel like a warning is definitely better than a hard error here; it's pretty easy in most languages with warnings to set up CI to reject unused variables, which ensures that your code in production won't have any unused variables.

Your logic is sound, although I can't really imagine anyone adopting this scheme.

Actually, I would take it much further:

Instead of code being stored as a plain text file, store an abstract syntax tree in some binary form. Then all indentation, whitespace, keywords -- in fact, practically the entire syntax -- could be defined according to your preferences, while maintaining full interoperability with fellow developers.

Of course this would require an editor/IDE specially designed to work this way, and a VCS that can diff the binary AST in a syntax-agnostic manner.

This is what I'm currently working towards, as part of a programming language that is defined only by its semantics (the syntax itself is dynamic/extensible).

Check back on me in about 10 years :)
Its unlikely and I wouldn't hold your breath.

If Apple eventually move to their own CPUs (same as what they use for iPhone/iPad etc) then they'll spend time working on that instead. If it means sticking with Intel for another 2 years or whatever until its ready then its worth it for them.

Switching to AMD wouldn't make sense if its only short-term and not in their endgame.
The question isn’t if warrants should work but whether or not anyone is able to have secure communication. This runs directly counter to all of the privacy law stuff being enacted and discussed. It means government officials and agencies get less or insecure communication too. It means clandestine intelligence agencies don’t get to mask their communication in a sea of other encrypted communications.

People are acting as if unbreakable encryption and secure computing is a given. It isn’t. It is extraordinarily difficult and in nearly all use cases not foolproof.

The warrant excuse is fairly ludicrous anyways. We now have vast information pools of where people have been and what they were doing. We have DNA evidence. Law enforcement has never been easier in the history of human civilization.
I guess "easier" is a relative term; welding something together in your garage is never going to be as easy & efficient as buying the Toyota... but what the binding constraints on the field's progress are I don't claim to know.

But since you seem to understand the paper a bit, may I ask: I thought convolution was done by FFT, shaving N^2 to NlogN and all that. Are these automated compilers they discuss smart enough to find that, or are they literally re-arranging (1)? Or is it all so memory-bound that this question makes no sense?
I'm saying you are right or wrong but let me ask you this. Have you divested yourself (401K, IRA, etc.) completely from Apple? Their margin comes exclusively from making these things as economically as possible. Or are you willing to pay $2K for your next iPhone so the stock can keep growing at such a high rate? All of our actions have consequences too.

I have no clue what level of industrial espionage takes place in the US or China but the fact that it _has_ occurred in both places does not speak to the frequency and severity that these types of actions are taken. All your examples could be true and still the Chinese govt. could be orders of magnitude worse.

To me all of this is nearly irrelevant to OP's original point which was taking an American company's manufacturing to China is a risk. I don't think OP was implicitly making the claim that moving a Chinese company's manufacturing to the US is less of a risk. That seems to be the tangent that the comment thread has taken but it was not part of the original comment. I think there is more of a risk that the Chinese government will steal the IP from Apple in China than the US government will steal the IP from Apple in the US.
This makes sense. They are everywhere in the South East Asia market for electronic goods and their products are trash. I presume a Chinese firm got them as marketing.
Been to Texas in summer last year (it was very hot outside) and I found it ridiculous how low the temperature inside was: most Europeans on the conference were complaining, we had to wear light jackets inside.

These kind of things just to above my cultural sense of logic...

Not more than seeing that an existing function you're extending or otherwise working on throwing its exceptions and saying "Ok I guess something above this will catch my exceptions" and learning to take that at face value. Or at least that's been my experience working on large scale Java projects with teams.

From my experience with Go I find that only these lines fade into the background:
something, err := someFunc()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}

I find that whenever any actual error handling logic beyond forwarding tends to really jump out at me in code reviews and such.

> Alt-N goes to the next "window", Alt-P to the previous and so forth

Thanks to this sentence, it dawned on me that even if you're a l33t hax0r, GUI and mouse-based interfaces have the advantage of not requiring you to remember how to use a program. How many program interfaces can you keep in your long term memory? Is it even worth it to waste your precious (human) memory space in such a thing?

Sure, TUIs and UNIX commands can be really useful and efficient once you learn them, but GUIs are useful even if you've never used the program. They give you an acceptable level of productivity right off the bat, and most of the time it's not worth it to waste your time learning the superior UNIX/terminal version.
I saw more deer when I lived in the DC suburbs and far less people had grille guards. If any. I actually can't remember a single example. In both Austin and the DC suburbs pedestrians far outnumber large wild animals, so I think grille guards are frivolous and dangerous in those places.

Yes, but at the cost of portability. You won't be able to run the same model on Android for instance.

You're still debugging in two places; in Swift and Python. Debugging Swift is probably easier than C++ though.

I think using Swift is a valid solution for special cases, but not the best solution for most cases. The TF authors already provide a suitable, general solution in the form of custom TF ops.

And if you don't need a custom kernel, and the chances are you don't, then stick with pure Python for maximum ease of use and portability.
