There exists a language that can optimally target AMD's ROCm, NVIDIA's PTX, and multicore x86-64 CPUs: CUDA C++. This language has 3 production quality compilers for these targets (nvcc, hip, and pgi).

Unfortunately, this language is from 2007, and the state-of-the art has not really been improved since then (except for the evolution of CUDA proper).

It would be cool for people to work on improving the state of the art, providing languages that are simpler, perform better, or are more high-level than CUDA, without sacrificing anything (i.e. true improvements).

There have been some notable experiments in this regard, e.g., Sequoia for roadrunner scratchpads had very interesting abstraction capabilities over the cache hierarchy, that could have led to a net total improvement over CUDA __shared__ memory.

Most newer languages have the right goal of trying to simplify CUDA, but they end up picking trade-offs that only allow them to do so by sacrificing a lot of performance. That's not an interesting proposition for most CUDA developers - the reason they pick up CUDA is performance, and sacrificing ~5% might be acceptable if the productivity gains are there, but a 20-30% perf loss isn't acceptable - too much money involved.

One can simplify CUDA while retaining performance by restricting a language to GPUs and a particular domain, e.g., computer graphics / gfx shaders or even stencil codes or map-reduce, etc.

However, a lot of the widely advertised languages try to (1) target both GPUs and CPUs, compromising on some minimum common denominator of features, (2) support general-purpose compute kernels, and (3) significantly simplify CUDA, often doing so by just removing the explicit memory transfers, which compromises performance. These languages are quite neat, but they aren't really practical, because they aren't really true improvements over CUDA.

Most companies I work with that use CUDA today are using the state of the art (C++17 or 20 extensions), experimental libraries, drivers, etc. So it isn't hard to sell them into a new technology, _if it is better than what they are already using_.

At least some of life for some people is luck in the real sense that undeserving people (Joe Biden's son, say, merely to cite one example) are lifted up thanks to who their parents are.

Bad luck is when you're effectively ruined by the age of 5 thanks once again to who your parents were. The only way out for someone that fits this description is to adopt a self-reliant, goal directed attitude.

Self-reliant, goal directed behavior is essentially what people not born lucky or ruined do to improve their position in life.

What society can do to help is communicate clearly that the virtues of persistence, resilency, self-reliance and goal directed behavior are "cool" or in sociological-speak, society's normative values.

Unfortunately, since Rousseau and Marx, we have birthed a counter-culture that is determined to do the opposite. It's determined to place the locus of control over one's life outside of the individual and onto a nepharious "society".

Marx personally was an unhappy, deeply defective, and cruel personality. His philosophy stems directly from this. It attracts people who share his defects- namely people filled with resentment, envy, a desire to extract revenge for perceived slights and a lust for absolute power.

The hope is that eventually, through CRISPR and other techniques, that as a side effect of improving human functioning the well-spring of such people will simply dry up.

Until then, we have to do battle with a philosophy which preaches the diametric opposite of what we know leads to human flourishing and happiness.

Storing oil isn't easy, cheap, or safe. I doubt many people have tanks, the know how, or the permits required to store oil. Then once the price goes up you have to move the oil again. It's all really complicated.

One of my cars is a long-range Tesla, the other is a plug-in hybrid that can go about 30-ish miles on a battery.

At the beginning of the lockdown, I looked at my wife and said, "let's stop touching icky gas handles during this whole thing and make sure we only charge at home."

So all of our distance driving uses the Tesla, and we use the plug-in hybrid for in town driving.

East Coast private Schools, also heavily favor SAT Scores over ACT. ACT is preferred in the Midwest and South.

Definitely check out some big state schools like University of Maryland, U of Wisconsin, U of Michigan. These schools have large research grants and funding, and they have access to some of the best large scientific computing platforms (HPC and Mainframes).

They may not have the entrepreneurial prestige, but they all have decent business schools in addition to great compsci programs, so you could dual major or minor.
There may be some backlash, given how painful the transition has been for a lot of people. I think a lot of people are conflating "remote work" with "social distancing". The later is the cause of a lot of your feelings of loneliness. The former can significantly increase your flexibility to maintain quality relationships. As someone who works 100% remotely, this has been an especially lonely period for me as well.

Right now, many people are still getting used to working from home, and many I suspect consider this to be a temporary measure, which has prevented them from getting settled. In a real switch to remote work, you would be properly invested in setting up a long-term productive environment. The beauty of remote work is you would have the agency to experiment and find what habits and schedules makes you the most productive, without the added constraints of the office. This process would probably take several months, and for a while you would miss the structure of the office, but I think it has the possibility to increase your productivity and quality of life.

For me, remote work does not mean that I work alone, it just means I work with a group of other remote workers that I consider to be close friends. I think it has the potential to increase quality social interactions while working, not decrease. In a society where more people are working remotely, I think the ability to forge relationships outside of work will only increase.

No.

An epi curve is created from observations and shows new infections per day.

The Gompertz function is a mathematical formula and can be used to estimate total infections up to a date.

However, if you take the epi curve and plot the aggregate number of infections you'll find a curve that the Gompertz function approximates quite well.

> It's probably a matter of this being a habit of a lifetime that I've never fought back against hard enough.

You could try what worked for me:

Make a list of 2-5 healthy habits or routines that don't naturally fit into your current rhythms. Things like being an early riser, going to the gym in the morning, finishing all of your work before 5PM, and so on.

Then, pick 2-week periods to try them out, one at a time. For example, I always thought I was a night owl and and had delayed sleep phase syndrome until I made a deliberate effort to go to bed at 9PM every night for 2 weeks straight. The first few days were painful, but it's easy to push through when you're only looking at 2 weeks maximum. After those 2 weeks, I realized I'm a much happier, healthier, and more productive person if I go to bed at 9PM and wake up at 5AM, but it doesn't happen naturally.

Alternatively, you may discover that a routine doesn't work for you, but you're not losing much by trying it out for 2 weeks.

On average, you have about 4000-4500 weeks in a life time. It's worth taking some of those weeks to run easy experiments that could pay dividends for years to come.

We do this in multicrew and more complex planes as well. Point/flow through the cockpit to get to a specific configuration, then follow up with the checklist to verify. The 777 (and 787) is great for this because the built-in checklists on the computer screen automatically color everything that's in the correct state in green. So you go through the cockpit with your fingers in one flow, setting things correctly, then press the checklist button and if all is green we don't have to go through the list and read it but instead only call "X checklist completed".

I'm not sure I agree. Consider the example of BLM. You can tell two equally true stories:

* Black Lives Matter was a grassroots movement, where a bunch of individual people across the country organically discovered the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag and felt it summarized their thoughts on current events.

* Black Lives Matter was a organized effort by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi to drum up public support for their preferred economic and social policies. They learned how to do this at BOLD, a little-known organization teaching people how to shape the public's anger in ways that serve their political goals.

The problem is that's anti-democratic because many of those gatekeepers are appointed rather than elected. At that point the gatekeepers may as well directly decide who the president is, because it has already been chosen regardless.

I've made this point before but the future of remote work has and will continue to have no dependence on what workers like nor will it on how "productive" workers are. Office's have perpetually been getting worse for workers(offices -> cubicles -> open office). So it's very clear companies have never chosen one office solution to another because it is the preference of the worker.

As for the argument of changes to "productivity". For starters very few of us work in roles where productivity is a directly measurable thing. Sure you can argue about commits, lines of code, ship times, but those are all nowhere near as measurable as "widgets-per-hour". On top of this we all know that a huge portion of roles out there are arguably not productive at all (and if they are it's very hard to measure). And again, when in the history of work has declining worker productivity been solved by improving conditions for the worker? If you company goes remote and you don't work as well that way, do you think your boss is going to go "oh! I'd better talk to leadership about getting those offices again!"?

The entire reason offices still exist is because of culture. For years every SV startup I knew said they needed an office in SF because the "VCs like to see that". There has been a lot of inertia towards offices.

Now that Covid19 has broken that assumption for a bit, I think we'll see a rapid shift to remote teams because it quickly becomes clear that offices are a liability. Anecdotally I already know one start up that can no longer afford their office and so are breaking their lease with no sense of what they'll do next (so remote is the default), and a well established, very traditional office culture firm that is already stating that everyone being in the office full time will not be the norm coming out of this.

About the new planet: I read on another site that "Astronomers had written software — called Robovetter — that could go through that data and identify potential planets.

And that's how they found Kepler-1649c."

What would be nice is a historical look at the CEO role over time along with the other changes to how companies are run.

For me- I've seen a shift in company mentality from making sure they had money to cover 5 year plans towards a focus on paying out the biggest share dividend they could.
This with the shift into JIT production management/outsourcing to reduce costs further all in a drive to show accountancy wise how good they are and pushing out the largest share dividend each year. At least that is how I've seen things shift company wise with the shareholders usurping the customer as priority, with both usurping the workers who used to be one happy family towards a HR production line of payroll numbers.

This then creates a climate in which the perception is that the CEO does all the work and the only one the shareholders would know and as such the rise in top exec pay and stagnation in workers pay has seen a divide between them only grow wider and wider.

But when share dealing systems are more often driven by perception, the rush to keep share dividends high as that is measurable perception is one that holds more gravitas than before and in many aspects for workers has created a race to the bottom.

Is this America's real moral hazard? Not in so much that it is a global moral hazard with some countries more advanced along that direction than others, though I could not name a country in which companies are operated in a way that does not have a share price/share dividend focus over all else, at least any that would stick out large business wise. Smaller companies and businesses still mostly still have that family culture with workers and see's workers as one of the most important assets that business has and can put names to them all.
Yeah, you're right.
