Because there are soft costs to integrating a completely different platform into your environments. What happens when you try to pass a VM from an Intel system over to an Epyc system? Unless they have the same instruction sets you can't pass them between different processors - meaning, you have to go in and manually find the greatest common denominator and disable the rest of the instructions that aren't mutually supported. That kind of thing.

Also, software is very often the largest cost for these systems. It's not hard to find yourself paying $100k a month for an Oracle license. A one-time expense of $50k for one piece of hardware vs another is barely a blip.

And in fact that hardware is often charged based on spec. So if you have 4x as many cores on Epyc, you will pay more in software costs on a monthly basis as well. That, or the software will simply refuse to use them until you buy an upgrade, meaning those extra cores are sitting there doing nothing.

It's counterintuitive to people whose experience is building a gaming desktop at home, but hardware expenses are not necessarily a big part of total cost of ownership for enterprise operators.

Hey Josh!

Yes, fun stuff to be working on!

We use a number of strategies to cut through the noise. One of strategies that's easiest to articulate is comparing a topic's trend lines on different channels to identify organic growth vs. inorganic growth. This is because we think it’s important to provide high quality trends that aren’t biased by data from one channel.

We're also more inclined to share trends that we think have room to grow, as one of our internal metrics is the growth multiple of all trends we cover.
> I.e. it will not replace lawyers, but will enable 10x productivity, which means that you will need 10x less lawyers.

Lawyers are countable, so “fewer”, or, even better “1/10 as many”.

But the argument is flawed other than grammatically, as the quantity of legal services demanded isn't fixed, and if they are ten times more productive that means they become viable for tasks where they wouldn't have been worth employing before...and the total quantity of legal services consumed goes up.
Dude, Dr. Bussard died not long after the video I linked to, so maybe you don't realize you're kind of disparaging a man who's no longer here to defend himself.

In any event, I didn't mean to upset you. I'm not a physicist, nor some sort of "true believer", I just think Dr. Bussard's ideas deserve more research before we can rule them out so definitively. Maybe I'm a gullible dufus. On the Internet.
Even in academia, at least in my corner of it, "Cyber" as a term has a very government/military/suit connotation. Academics will sometimes use it when writing grant proposals or presenting in a DARPA-ish context, but most researchers prefer to call what they do "cybersecurity" (or even just "security", if a CS context is clear).
It depends. My family bought a boat, and it came with a 90HP outboard engine that was 4 stroke. For they same price, they offered a 2 stroke engine that was 120HP. Everyone agreed adding a single bottle of oil when you fill up the tank with gas was a simple enough thing to do to get the extra 30HP. My family also never filled up at the marina because of the extreme mark up. The boat was always on a trailer, so it just got filled up on the way at any normal gas station.
With 2 stroke you need to mix the oil with the fuel before injecting it into the engine in order to lubricate all the moving parts. With 4 stroke the oil and gas are kept separate and you just feed the fuel in.

4 stroke is more commonly sold today but with boating, the lifespan of the equipment is so long that there are a non-trivial amount of 2 stroke engines still in use today.
The price can also be incremental if the previous year’s device is sold to cover some of the new device cost. iPhones, in particular, retain a significant portion of their value after 12 months.
Will that be their maximum precision? If they can target a 6cm sphere, they probably can adjust to a larger volume.
We use it as a commitment device. Too often “life happens” and we don’t have date nights or we may just feel like staying at home. But since we pay a combine $46 a month (including tax), we think we might as well go to a movie. We will usually go out to eat and have drinks while we are out.

Supply and demand is more core than anchoring and it was certainly discovered earlier.

It's tested all the time.

Add tariff, demand drops. That's also economics and works well in 2019.

This stuff is now so obvious we've forgotten it and can now argue about whether economists can predict recessions.
Back in the 1970s I hitched across the US about 3 times,
over various routes, and all of Heren’s story rings true
to me, especially the huge variety of drivers willing to
offer rides. About a third to a half of the people who
picked me up remarked, in almost the same words,
“I used to hitch when I was younger, but it feels
too dangerous now” [<1980]. It was troubling to find,
more recently, that my youthful sense of immortality
had faded, leaving me saying the same words to
younger people.
Why would a recession be good for Uber though? A lot of Uber rides are discretionary spending; even if they could get away with paying drivers less their ridership would go down, no?
I would rather donate to them directly, personally.
Also, we shouldn't forget that since the economic reform of 1978, China has adopted the policy of intentionally escalating wealth inequality.

Please do not forget billions of worker/farmer in China still live in a third world condition, so that the upper 10% can live their bourgeois life.

I had an 80v electric chainsaw and it was great for odd jobs. Unfortunately, it stopped working. I know the battery is good- I've got a leaf blower that used the same battery.

Therein lies the problem. If it were gas, I could take it down to the local small engine repair guy and get it fixed cheap. Who the hell knows what could be wrong with am electric one?

Ultimately, I gave up on it, since I moved to a house with an outdoor wood furnace and upgraded to a 64cc gas model. There's really no comparison between the two, though that makes sense since they're definitely made for different markets.

I think that's the point. If you're looking for actionable advice in terms of "hammers are better than screwdrivers" you aren't going to find it. You'll find people purporting to give that advice. Look elsewhere, like "best practices for hammers" or "when to use a hammer instead of a screwdriver" or better yet "best practices for working as a team."
I remember that "On the Sublime" references the phrase wine-dark, and considers it prototypically sublime. I think the metaphor is inherently mysterious, as all good metaphors are.

c.f., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Sublime

edit - found the passage

How unlike to this the expression which is used of Sorrow by Hesiod, if indeed the Shield is to be attributed to Hesiod:

Rheum from her nostrils was trickling.
(Shield of Heracles 267)

The image he has suggested is not terrible but rather loathsome. Contrast the way in which Homer magnifies the higher powers:

And far as a man with his eyes through the sea-line haze may discern,

On a cliff as he sitteth and gazeth away o’er the wine-dark deep,

So far at a bound do the loud-neighing steeds of the Deathless leap. (Iliad 5. 770)

He makes the vastness of the world the measure of their leap. The sublimity is so overpowering as naturally to prompt the exclamation that if the divine steeds were to leap thus twice in succession they would pass beyond the confines of the world.

> At least produce something that attempts to sound like a cogent theory, like the Marxists. (Though Karl Marx explicitly invents his own form of "logic" to do so.) Seems like you just don't like certain kinds of people, based on your prejudices about certain industries.

More like based on my own first-hand experience with these people.

> I'd say that when some "activist" requests you to harm others, they aren't on the side of justice.

The question is: is it better to manipulate regular people/harm them in other ways or stop giving your best to make working with your code a pleasure.

> Against someone who isn't intentionally doing you harm? That sounds pretty evil to me. Of course, the world's very worst evils consist of convincing one's own side the other is "evil" by redefining what that means, thereby justifying the other's harm.

Now you are labeling disobedience as evil, regardless of what this disobedience is in response to? Do you think that your employer has the right to ask you to do just about anything without any regard for the consequences of your actions?

I feel like we are pointlessly going in circles here. To be honest, I think that a much better choice is just resigning from the job (which I did recently) when you are uncomfortable with it. All these other things are secondary.

When I stopped teaching fitness classes part time and move to the other side of town (ie metro Atlanta - an hour drive) where the gym wasn’t the meeting spot for my social circle, I started really not like going to the gym and having to squeeze it in with everything else.

I’ve had a treadmill in my house/apartment for years -that I actually used - when we moved I made sure that we had a spare bedroom that I could turn into a gym.

I love working out at home, in front of my TV or listening to a podcast. I can work out anytime, I’m still at home with my family and my wife will work out with me occasionally. She still likes going to the gym and working out with her friends.

Yes, it keeps the bell of the nozzle from melting off the back of the rocket. And that is a really cool trick, extremely tough to pull off in the original F1 engines of the Saturn V (lots of welds) but easier to do now that you can 3D print the engine.

However, the SABRE has a different challenge. Rather than cool metal (Inconel) which is a very good conductor of heat, the SABRE heat exchanger is cooling the air which has gained temperature for becoming compressed by the moving aircraft. Air, for all of its wonderful properties, is not a particularly good heat conductor[1]. Further, since heat transfer by conduction is a function of time in which the two dissimilar temperature materials are in contact, and hyper sonic craft are going very fast, it has to achieve this heat transfer in a literal "blink of an eye." It has been compared to shooting an acetylene torch through it and having a cool breeze come out the other side. Really amazing stuff.

Auto-loans are the only ones that I've ever heard of that allow you to take the balance of one note and just move it to a new note. Maybe credit card balance transfers, but those are just moving debt from one holder to another. Car loans are adding the balance of the existing note to the new loan.

Yes, if calories in > calories out then you will gain weight.

There are significant factors which affect both how many calories your body will take in, as well as how many it burns out, even if two people have identical activity levels. So while that "calories in vs calories out" statement is true, it's also trite. Faster metabolisms or better metabolic efficiency can lead to lower weight gain than another person might experience for a given level of activity.

It is useful advice on an individual scale - you yourself cannot directly affect your metabolism or your gut biome at the present time so the only thing you can really affect is exercise and caloric intake. It is not predictive between persons in the sense that two people on identical diets and exercise regimes will experience identical amounts of weight change.

Fecal transplants are an interesting wildcard - the idea is to kill off your own gut microbiome as much as possible and then replace it with someone else's. In some case studies, this has had significant efficacy in weight loss. My understanding is these fauna have significant effects in "pre-processing" this food as well as consuming some of the energy for themselves, so yes, microbiome can directly affect weight gain/loss.

Yeah, not only is "Cybersecurity" a "Thing" (I work in s/w security and hear it all the time) but people still talk about "Artificial Intelligence" when they mean image filters and classifiers, and have been doing so since the 1980's.

Language fires the imagination. This is mostly a good thing. Sometimes it's also stupid, but not necessarily bad for it.
There is momentum in the computing industry. The laptops and pre-assembled desktops being sold today are based on the OEM decisions that were made 1-2 years ago. Most corporate client computing machines are on a similar timeline. IT departments don't want to support a wide variety of hardware, so they standardize on a single model or variations within that model for years.

Warehouse-scale computing has similar budgets and timeframes. You don't decide how to re-build this month's 10k machines based on this month's benchmarks. You made the decision as far back as the supply chain required you to do it, maybe a year or more.

I'm sure that AMD's sales team has been telling their big customers about this generation's performance improvements for a while. But with their history, decision makers are going to discount the story a bit until they can see it in production silicon.

So the next few month's movements in AWS and the like will all depend on the extent that their decision makers were convinced many months ago.
The whole world should count its lucky stars that this was Tencent discovering and reporting the vulnerability, and not Huawei, who depending on the current day-of-the-week might not be able to legally report it.

India has more arable land than China, no?

"India's arable land... is the second largest in the world, after the United States. Its gross irrigated crop area... is the largest in the world."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_China

"Although China's agricultural output is the largest in the world, only 12.6% of its total land area can be cultivated. China's arable land, which represents 10% of the total arable land in the world, supports over 20% of the world's population."

You are right about qutrits. Essentially, anything that exhibits quantum behavior is in infinitely many levels at once. It is our ability to measure discrete levels that leads to qubits, qutrits, etc. Generally speaking, the more levels the more unreliable the measurement.

As for Monte Carlo with respect to ML, are you referring to the “random walk” aspect when you say “use randomness.” This refers to the fact that the method samples one possible sequence of events and uses that sequence to update its model. As opposed to dynamic programming methods where the value of all possible sequences is estimated and used to update the model. Not sure that the randomness from quantum is useful here. Where it could be useful is to encourage exploration of the state space. So, normally Monte Carlo methods have various tricks to make sure every sequence is sampled infinitely many times. These tricks could be implemented by the error in quantum computing, but I don’t know enough about the field to really be sure of that. And of course it would help in that you could compute the results of many sequences at once which is critical bottleneck in dynamic programming.

Right now I’m working on a 100 page due diligence report. Even if I’m doing a simple task like proofreading, I have to mark up my changes by hand and wait for the document to become available to access because an associate is making edits to a single page of the report. To make things worse, once we finish our draft, we’ll send this document to our clients, the investment bankers, and the auditors to review and send us 3 different versions of markups. Meanwhile we’ll be continuously updating the document ourselves.

Often it becomes unclear who has edited what and when, and its exacerbated by the fact that many lawyers still prefer to mark-up documents with pen and paper and have them updated later by their secretary (while in the meantime the document will have gone through another round of markups from other lawyers in the team).

I don’t know if an automatic merge is the right solution either, but I can absolutely see the value in software that helps manage this mess. I realise it might be different in litigation, because in this case we’re not trying to draft a coherent legal argument but tick off a series of regulatory checkboxes that are semi-independent from each other.

Are you saying that student debt being non-renounceable is bad if and only if we have a liquidity crisis? Because, that's the way your comment reads, to me at least. For the record, I am not endorsing this type of structure for all forms of debt. I am simply bringing to light a more positive view on the supposed "student loan crisis". If so, let's look at some numbers to paint a broader picture: the US mortgage market is 10x the size of the student loan market with average monthly payments in the $1000-1600 range, whereas the national average student loan payment is less than $500. If there were to be a liquidity crisis, the worst we would see out of the student loan market is a larger fraction of borrowers struggling to come up a few hundred dollars per month throughout the recessionary cycle. I just don't think this market is large enough to have the kind of effect your are describing in your comment. I think your comment makes sense for debt as a whole, but I don't think it scales well with the market it's targeted towards.

Isn't there any service that allows one to subscribe to baskets of magazines by topics, and handles payment distribution to them with some mutual agreements? I think many of these online mags suffer because there are too many of them each with its own payment schedule, and people don't really like to set up dozens of subscriptions.

That shouldn't be a problem. They are both fundamentally the same architecture (amd64) and any CPU-specific features are already opportunistically handled by the vast majority of software because otherwise you wouldn't be able to run the same code on different versions of Intel's CPUs.
