You're definitely not going to be able to shove it into just any datacenter, but there's enough of a demand for it where specialty datacentes are popping up.

We're in Colovore, which has a fantastic power density and is running roughly 1000k DGXs in their datacenter. It really wasn't all that difficult to get up and running. For us it made total sense, but we utilize physical hardware completely and have to scale into the cloud fairly regularly.
This is the "I like tinkering with cars therefore everyone should be a mechanic" argument.

Everyone shouldn't feel intimidated by trying to change their headlights though. You don't need to program at a professional level or have professional tools to "program" an excel spreadsheet to handle your monthly budget or to write a shell script that searches your photos folder for new files to copy to a back up drive periodically.

If one wants to pay for convenience, OK, but I do think there's real value in equipping the average person with more than some very basic experience with programming.
You've probably heard of regex, also known as regular expressions. Regex is at its core (before you add support for advanced stuff like backreferences) a generic way of defining an arbitrary regular language. Each regular expression corresponds to a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) which detects strings belonging to that language.

EDIT, to add a bit more:

The theory behind regular languages allows you to design a regex system, to know its limitations and to be able to determine whether a language can be matched by a regex or it requires a more powerful model.

It can definitely be useful to think in terms of such theoretical constructs when approaching new problems, but it takes some getting used to before it can become productive. For this reason, I think the cost/benefit ratio of learning this for someone completely new to it can vary. It's probably not always worth it in all settings, but it certainly has practical merit.
That is not true. T-Mobile has Release 15 5G deployed in the 600 MHz band right now -- I'm looking at being broadcast over-the-air on my spectrum analyzer here in the south eastern US.
Those people broke the law though cashing checks made out to their dead relatives. I understand that's part of some Americans' expectations of the world as well though.
Relevance.
if the search results has less relevance and historical data has lower importance compared to spikes in interest at the moment of the search, it's worse

For example medical related searches right now prioritize covid related results, they are important _now_, but they are less important than general statistical data

A general purpose search engine shouldn't be about what social networks talk more about
I remember coming to it a bit later and being annoyed by several aspects of the game, even though it was obviously groundbreaking.

In particular I remember my units just sitting around allowing themselves to be shot by enemy units that had longer range instead of moving two meters to get in weapons range. I recall it wasn't good at letting you form groups and issue mass commands too.

C&C and especially Warcraft really nailed the UI and gameplay details for the RTS genre a couple of years later.
I'm biased, but this perspective hits a pet peeve for me. These are introductory theory of computation problems - of course they aren't real-life problems! Would we make the same complaint against a mathematics exam on group theory or real analysis? Does a question like "prove that the kernel of a homomorphism is a normal subgroup" show how far academia is from real-life problems? But probably the people responsible for inventing half the technology we use in daily life had to solve that problem at some point and R&D departments would be scared to hire them if they hadn't.

Knowledge, especially in mathematics, is not a buffet; it's a pyramid. Wecan't hope for society to build programming languages like Haskell or Rust without teaching people the knowledge base that rests on regular languages and pushdown automata and so on.

That said, this is definitely one of the most esoteric topics in an undergrad CS curriculum and many universities are making it optional, for theory-inclined students only.
That's by design, because the software is obviously imperfect. It does more good than harm, though, so we keep it.
Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

Honestly, I’d start with Colab until you decide you need “dedicated hardware”. It’s better to focus on learning before you decide “Okay, I’m serious about this now”.
That's the kind of sweeping claim that really needs to be sourced.
They both are areas of thought which promote ideas (sometimes framed as facts) without sufficient demonstrable evidence (otherwise validating the so called framework of facts).

But I would add neither should be taken down unless the videos promoting such ideas are also promoting violence.

Misinformation, disinformation -- whatever -- the onus is on the audience to educate themselves and arrive at hopefully an informed conclusion. If someone walks away from a video with the belief, that god or some god is real, or that the earth is flat, then so it goes.

Youtube is ofc welcome to moderate how they see fit here. However it is a laughable double-standard to selectively allow one faith-based belief system (religion) over another (flat-earth).
I don't even want to know how hard Spain will be hit. The country was kind of recovering from the 2008 crisis which was not pretty. Unemployment was still high before Covid, around 14% down from 26% which was not a good number but things were going forward.

Now this new crisis will be 5 times worse, at least in terms of GDP. In 2008 the GDP went down around 2,5% now it'll go down more than 12%. Madness. Around 50.000 small businesses have already shut down and thousands more are barely surviving. And now the government is going to increase some taxes. Taxes which were supposed to affect the rich but guess what, they won't.

I'm pretty concerned about several people I know with small/family businesses.

Nope, I'm not from China or India (so I'm in the global pool). If you're from India, it's impossible to get citizenship this way (the waitlist is too long), you need to marry a US citizen if you want citizenship.
I think it really depends. If you keep the number of collaborators in a class small and your interfaces are well designed mocking is ok (and really just a limited form of a fake).

But sure, many people don't do that.
Admittedly, there's no smoking gun here, just inferential evidence from the fact that they don't tweak their algorithms to curb it. Which, admittedly, could be that they don't have the resources to do it -- but in either case, my point is that the solution probably will not come from the social networks on their own accord.
Ok, we've re-veried the title above.
I agree. It was one of my favorites growing up. I remember being blown away when I installed my first ISA SB16.

I didn't realize this game was ported to Mega Drive. Must be awkward trying to control the cursor with a gamepad having grown up playing these games using a mouse.
Maybe, but having a pipeline to get people to content is overall better for everyone involved. So many creators would have no audience (or revenue) at all without YouTube and its (often touchy) algorithms.

EEVBlog is a good example of content that wouldn’t exist without youtube. Dave is a full time youtuber who can focus on creating content instead of making money some other way.

Dave is trying to move away from being dependent on YouTube, and he absolutely should, but he built his audience on YouTube in a way that isnt feasible in a world without algorithms pushing content towards people
yes, trump's moral compass only points one way, and that's toward himself.

Definitely- automatic model deployment would only work for a subset of applications. We think a lot more about having models available as candidates for deployment, which can then be inspected by domain experts on a team.

One of our motivations for building visual reports that appear like comments in a pull request is giving teams metrics & info to discuss when deciding if merge is right. That way, the automated part is training and testing, but the decision making is human (i.e., data scientists whose skills are better used interpreting models & data than running repetitive training scripts).

Sweden is #6 by deaths/population according to this page: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

This would indicate that the swedish response is among the worst. Several countries with comparable health systems have a death rate which is many times lower, for example Germany. This saved many thousands of lives.

I would completely avoid things like this A2 instance (and other accelerated instances on other cloud providers) if you’re a self-described beginner. The GPU-accelerated instances in public clouds are terrifyingly expensive and way overkill for any kind of beginner/practice work.

Only approach these types of instances once you actually have a handle on how much power you need.

Why not offer a model of pay-for-support, instead of ramming us with ads and saying "LOL it's free so f off"? Not you specifically, or even Google specifically, but that seems to be a common theme. I'm sure plenty of people would be willing to pay a monthly fee to avoid exactly this.
Agreed! I think, it's similar to software engineering. It's not that often that large websites are being deployed to prod without someone approving/QA-ing it manually first, right?

CI/CD systems in this case help automating this as much as possible, but do not completely replace decision making process, I would say.
It's been assur for long enough that everyone just holds `lo plugh' when it comes to electricity. Yes an incandescent is prohibited, a hotplate is prohibited. An eInk display is technically alright, as is an LCD watch. But there's way to many gray areas between those. What about LED bulbs? Some get hot enough to be a problem, some do not.

Thats a huge misconception actually, the information you have is the amount of energy being used, but you don't have information on the source of the energy.

Would you be willing to accept or at least corroborate that cryptocurrency mining is one of the cleanest sectors and a boon for sustainability?

70-80% of that energy use is renewable energy or reducing pollution - specifically hydrocarbons. So existing energy is not being wasted or reallocated, and additional unclean energy is not being ramped up to facilitate mining, and previously wasted energy that was going into the atmosphere is now being used.

The educated discussion is to make sure it stays this way. As nation states are the only actors that could mine at a loss with inefficient ways.

> it appears that they were a leader in car navigation systems. Not sure if MS considered that when doing the takeover and not sure whether they took it over.

The navigation systems business was a separate entity. Like a third pillar of the company together with communication networks and mobiles. It was amalgamated from Berlin based startup Gate5 and Chicago based NAVTEQ. As a result Nokia N95 was the first (correct me?) smartphone on the market with navigation. Later on during the MS takeover they branched out as HERE.

How does this compare to sheet 2 site? Just wondering.
Sorry, I just saw this.

Disclaimer: I'm not particularly good at this, so whatever comments I make are well intentioned but may be of varying accuracy.

Online sources:
* OWASP.org is a good place to find info. If you look something up, there's a good chance you will find it here.

* https://owasp.org/www-project-web-security-testing-guide/ Thanks to redis_mic for this one, I didn't know it existed until today.

* overthewire.org Similar to HTS, but you don't need an account. The subject matter covered is also slightly different.

* https://0x00sec.org/ A forum dedicated to security. There's a lot of script kiddies, but also some gold.

* https://www.hackerone.com/ What better way to learn then practice on live targets? That being said, I would do some of the others first.

...

I do a lot of learning through reading, so books:

* Network Security Assessment by Chris McNab. I have second edition, which is a good and instructive read, but quite outdated.

* Real-World Bug Hunting by Peter Yaworski. Web security 101. Good read, and fairly useful.

* Advanced Penetration Testing by Wil Allsop. Outdated, but interesting. You will never use flash again after reading this.

* Social Engineering, The Science of Human Hacking by Christopher Hadnagy. This is a very interesting read. Also, one of the few that can't go out of date.

...

This should be enough to get you started. There's a couple more books I can think of, but they tend to be more specialized into certain fields of security and less approachable/generally applicable. If you want these recommendations as well, feel free to email me, my email's in my bio.

Your underlying point is well made, but it's important to understand the process: The banks issued the loans, but the federal Small Business Association reviewed and approved them.

> yet the stream of cash continues to flow to those too stupid to save a few months of operating expenses/payroll.

You can disagree with the program, but the comment is overly hash, IMHO. As a business owner, I see the program as a lifeline to handle cashflow issues and retain workers. I'm not sure that is a "trash society."
CML looks really awesome. I've been on one of your online meetups. Are you planning to host more in the future? It would be great to learn real production use cases!
Anything is possible, but the term "cofounder" is not usually thrown around lightly. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any cofounder willing to say they could have started their business without one or more of their fellow cofounders.
My wife and I read to her a lot when she was young. We gave her lots of open ended play with lots of arts and crafts.

My wife taught her to read right around when she turned 4. I was also applying some of the techniques from Glen Doman in his book How to teach your Baby to Read.

I think learning to read is what really helped her excel. She was reading 2nd grade chapter books by the time she started kindergarten. Once you know how to read, you can learn about the other subjects.

There is more that we did, but I think reading to her and teaching her to read where the biggest parts of it. The idea that any child has the potential for genius came from Glen's book. I really think its true. Even if you only spent 15-30 minutes a day, that is enough to have a profound influence on the child.

One thing missing from this report is that a large proportion of the deaths were in care homes, and ministers have publicly stated that not entirely locking down care homes from the outset was a big mistake. If they had done this, the figures may well not look nearly as bad.

Also, what will count is not the first few months but the entire lifetime of this pandemic. I'll be interested to see where countries are a year or two from now.

This isn't to say I support the Swedish government's strategy - I don't feel like I know enough to say what the best strategy is, although I do think that that the worst strategy is to have no strategy, seemingly like the USA and UK.
Yup! I have some on hand, but the DUART only takes a single clock line and I didn't have the parts for to build the crystal driver. This particular 8051 has a built in one, but no oscillator out. Was contemplating using one of its timers.

There's still PPP money left so I'm not sure what your point about the finite sum is.

>These are loans. They are two year low interest loans. They have to be paid back unless some or all is forgiven.

This is a highly politicized way to frame PPP loans. Its more like: "These loans are forgiven, unless you scammed the government." These loans were specifically designed to be forgiven, a minimum of 75% of the loan was to be for payroll and if used for payroll (what it was supposed to be used for) that portion of the loan will be forgiven.

>Just because a company took a 1M loan, doesn't mean it will be 100% forgiven.

Again this is so carefully worded to send a false signal...true "it doesn't mean" it will be 100% forgiven. But again the goal is for at least 75% to be forgiven up to 100%. The idea is businesses were supposed to get a loan with 75% allocated to payroll expenses and the extra 25% to approved non-payroll expenses (example: rent) and the portion used for payroll should be 100% forgiven...which in many cases will be the full amount of the loan, because many businesses didn't add an extra 25% for non-payroll expenses and just took the forgivable payroll portion.

Basically the only reason/way these loans would be repaid is if business took out the loans and spent the money on non-payroll expenses...that should be fraud and result in jail not a nice cushy 1% interest rate for people committing fraud.

Nobody every asks "so, how many sales gigs do you do on the sides, during weekends?" or "oh, how many teams do you lead/mentors, during the weekends?"

All this BS "weekend-extra-open-source-labour-tax" must be borne by the members opting for tech streams. The innate, simple truth is that all that "weekend extra effort" is a way to see if the person can take up more work off hours without so much of a complaint and not demand overtime pay - in the name of "passion".

Passion is overrated. There are many who play the passion card, while trying to showcase their role-playing fantasies in a very skewed way. Hiring based on such appearances is at best just a gamble. There are many such "social profiles" which are either crafted for befooling the spectators, or inane content which just about passes the "100 for effort! value, best left unsaid!" types.

Indeed. I think the original C&C is still pretty playable. It might not be fun after a few levels compared to a modern RTS, but all they core elements of the modern game are there.
