It is relatively trivial to hook any new accelerator you develop into the popular deep learning frameworks. In the case of AMD there actually already exists a mature compiler framework for their GPUs and their cards are mostly on par with Nvidia's. Most deep-learning researchers don't write custom CUDA kernels, but simply stitch high level operations together in python. So as soon AMD delivers a performance / power advantage there will be almost no friction to deploy a AMD only cluster.

One of Nvidia's actual moats is their system building competency, which AMD lacks. They can sell you a box / a whole server room configuration, since their acquisition of Mellanox together with network equipment.

Our local Stop & Shop supermarkets deployed robots similar to this about a year and a half ago, although all they do as far as I know is complain when they find a mess somewhere.

As an avid Rubyist I have no interest in introducing types into a dynamic language. I would just rather use C# or Java. I never understood why people are trying to make a round peg fit in a square hole.
They don’t even compare. USSR was the empire (a country plus its occupied territories) people literally were losing their life trying to get the hell out of.
This is a good point. I feel like I have a somewhat unsatisfying answer to this, which is that I am approaching this from a first-principles reasoning of ethical value, which logically leads to the arguing for secession.

Specifically, since I consider the preservation of civil liberties as a foundational ethical value, I consider the broad infringement of it, whether now or in the future is fundamentally unethical. From that perspective I consider both cases unethical, and that places me as in the secessionist category, even though that would mean violating the treaty.

One could argue that from a utilitarian perspective, (that places overall societal utility over individual liberty), that China is acting consistently within it's own interpretation of utilitarian ethics. The CCP could argue that maximizing ethical value necessitates both infringing on civil liberties, and violating the treaty. They could even plausibly point towards their radical success in reducing poverty, and leadership on climate change as an example of the superiority of their system. However, the (ongoing) genocide of Uighurs should clearly illustrate the flaws in this system.
My biggest complaints all center around the intersection of custom types with protocols and extensions, especially when trying to get a generic approach to something working.

Agreed. And knowing is not enough, you have to have enough discipline or environmental training to act at the appropriate junctures.
I think what you've identified is that the poor have gotten better off due to technical innovations reducing the price of basic goods and enhancing their functionality -- while on average wages have tracked inflation. This is a systemic improvement.

Meanwhile, the rich have gotten exponentially richer, as public policies have shifted ever more in their favor. For much the 1900s the top income tax bracket in the US was over 80%, peaking at 95%. Now its 37%. The estate tax for much of the 1900s was 80%. Now it's practically 0% for all intents and purposes.

The poor have gotten slightly better off, the wealthy have gotten dramatically better off, and the gap between the two has widened. Systems designed to keep the two groups together have been chipped away at, and are buckling. This is a result of social policy.
Steam however does provide a huge amount of cool features you get for free when you implement their API and use their platform. This effectively creates exclusives because its a pain to implement those things yourself.

JSC has four in the sense that hot enough functions go through LLInt, then Baseline, then DFG, and then FTL. They go through three lower optimization levels before the max one.

HotSpot has three in the sense that you get interpreter, client, then server.

Both VMs have additional execution engines available behind flags. JSC has a different interpreter (CLoop, based on LLInt but different) for some systems, so it’s like a “fifth tier” if you think of “tier” as just an available execution engine. I think of tier as a stage of optimization that you get adaptively, without having to specifically configure for it. I get that HotSpot can alternatively AOT or Graal, but those aren’t tiered with the rest to my knowledge (like there is no interpreter->client->server->graal config but if there was then that would be four tiers).

>> cost of living is pinned to these minimum wages

>That is true. That's also reason #3245 why UBI is a stupid idea.

I actually don't think that is entirely true. For certain things, those most affected by modern supply chains, we generally aren't seeing a corresponding increase in costs to wages.

For other things driven more by scarcity such as housing, healthcare and education we are seeing a dramatic rise in costs.

Our economy is in a strange place and I don't think the obvious one-to-one rules of thumb hold currently.

People stay poor because all the past unfairness never goes away. It clings to them. Real survivorship bias exists to muddy the reality of how bad it truly is to have bad things happen in early life. A lot of people can simply never recover when they were kicked so unfairly in early life contrary to their peers. I believe it’s why there used to be experiments with lsd to see if memories could be erased.
You touch on another important issue I don't see a lot of discussion about: There is a HUGE demand for application security engineers, or more broadly, security folks with software engineering backgrounds.

I'm in SecEng and was laid off when my company's regional office went under. It's become pretty obvious to me that there's a huge need for security minded engineers, and most applicants companies get for "Application Security Engineer" roles don't have any experience or background as SWEs.

I'm of the opinion that the industry needs to do a few things to help get traction on the problem:

1. Open up career paths that allow SWEs to move from product develop to technical security
2. Have companies better advertise their need for skilled technical security talent
3. Have InfoSec teams perform more cross team exercises. I've never met an engineer who wasn't all for participating in a red/blue team exercise. It's a fantastic way to cross-train and raise awareness.
> I don't think it's an accident at all that science uses its own thick jargon instead of a simple approachable vocabulary.

At least in my field of research, such views are held by few, if any. This is, IMO, an extremely bad faith argument. I think many in the field would love if the right information got out - even if incomplete, or with many unknowns.

At least that would spare us by the media getting things totally wrong and pushing disinformation on people (and that's a bipartisan problem).

Ask HN: What is the marketshare of modern vintage games by system?
I know that every year there are still at least a couple of new games for old systems like VIC-20, C64, Amiga, different ZX Spectrum and Amstrad variants, DOS, different games consoles, and so on, some of them even commercial. Is there any data about the market share of modern games for retro machines? Said with other words, for which vintage systems a new game will have the biggest audience?

This might be related to the total amount of units of each system sold, but I think that it is not mandatory to be in a such way. It is possible some systems produced in greater numbers to be not as suitable for games like other systems produced in lower numbers. The existence of emulators also may change the things, by making the numbers of the real system not so important as its actual capabilities. Another factor which I think that have to be considered is the eventual legal issues of distributing a game for an old system if the company which owns it still exists.

>But somehow, all that opposition faded away.

Did it? Maybe some particular group of people deemphasized anti-globalism when it was picked up by the right wing more. Maybe the others are still around.

Or, maybe some particular group of people is "reality based" as they say, and updated their opinions due to evidence, as one does.

Or, maybe some people feel that relative priorities have changed due to what the opposition is doing.

Yes, but there is one assumption in this hypothesis which I think is not accurate.

The cost of Hardware Development is the main cost contribution.

Which I think is not true with regards to both GPU and GPGPU computing. The major cost for GPU is Drivers, and CUDA for GPGPU. i.e It is Software.

Unlike ARM where AWS/GCP/Azure can make their chips and benefits from the Software ecosystem already in place for ARM, there is no such thing on GPU. Drivers and CUDA is the biggest moat around Nvidia's CPU. And unless Developers figure out a way to drive the cost of DL and Drivers down, there is no incentives to switch away from Nvidia's ecosystem.

That is why I am interested to see how Intel tackle this area. And if History will repeat itself again in the Voodoo, Rage 3D and S3 Verge era.

I agree this is a problem. I just don't think the app should be banned and I don't want people to tell me to stop using it (granted no one here did). At the end of the day a gigantic systemic failure in both countries is not going to be solved by one country banning one app, and one ceo of that one app trying to 'do the right thing'.

The problem is that, for the last few decades, all the information that could possibly be known about you is already known and your own country can and will use it against you. Why am I to be worried about a toy?

OMG, then it is even more impressive than I thought! There's no way GPT-3 knows the part in parentheses is supposed to be "the monolog", or even what a monolog is supposed to be. And yet based on the pattern between Q, A and the text inside and outside the parentheses, it can mimic the effect of answering the question with "monolog". It shows GPT-3's capability to capture something that's super "meta". I wonder what can it do, if we feed GPT-3 with the philosophical discussions between Socrates and his students. Could we essentially teach GPT-3 the dialectical discussion method, and creating a real Sage that we can converse with?!

Well, I did visit ITER back in 2014, it was really nice, we went on a tour, saw the facilities, attended a presentation, saw models of the reactors, etc. It was all for free (but the train ticket). We were a small (6) group of students who asked if a visit would be possible, and we were pleasantly surprised by the answer. There was at least one other family with us, so it's not just students.

Making money isn't really the goal for ITER, though. PR and education is. The tour left us with a pleasant feeling about ITER, but we weren't the ones to convince. I didn't see that kind of tour advertised in any brochure.

I try do so. But non properly, i.e. I at least skim third party libraries as long as viable.

I have more then one time stumbled about some "wtf is this" thing in libraries which seem to be very good/well maintained/etc.

Things included:

- Setting socket options which are both unnecessary and cause bugs (like non blocking flag on a socket which is used as if in blocking mode without having non-blocking support in that library).

- Not properly clearing secrets while advertising to do so. (I.e. writing zeros without using volatile write or similar, not supper will known but authors of hashing libs can be expected to know better).

- Less obvious Memory leaks.

- Major logic flaws in the application logic which should easily have been cough by tests, except that the tests didn't really test anything. (Through ironically not security flaws.)

- Libraries pretending to support X but only correctly support that common special limited usage of X while having code for full X support but all buggy and 100% unusable outside of the common special case.

- EDIT: Fundamental design flaws in supposedly state of the art, supper fast, supper reliable web framework which makes it not so fast and not so reliable in many real work use-cases under load.

- etc.

It's sometimes really sad.

Why is the Debian-derived system non-booting?

Many years ago I had disk error problem and could not boot. I tried a popular, Linux-based "system rescue" CD and it could not boot without accessing the disk. I tried my own "live" NetBSD USB stick and booted up no problem. No disk access needed.

I stayed away from Linux for many years as a result of experiences like that. I have been using Linux lately and I continue to find more stuff like this that would just never happen on BSD.

I do not understand why people use grub, let alone grub2. There are plenty of other bootloaders. What is wrong with syslinux?

Because we decided to place as many things in the market as possible, so necessities of life like housing and food can only be got via labor for the employer class who underpay (that's where profit comes from) and if they don't like you you can't even access that low pay and become homeless and either starve, live off charity, or eat extremely unhealthily which reduces your capacity to be useful to the employer class over time.

Redefining basic necessities as human rights and placing them outside the market will do so much to reduce poverty it will blow peoples' minds. However, this will of course come at the expense of the privileges of the powerful so such things are opposed.

It's helpful to think of this as a design question. Do we design a UI that many users fail at or is the problem the system design?

Agreed. I'm also a bit frustrated that he never tuned vertica in his test of it - he just loaded the data into the default superprojection and queried it like that. Nearly all of vertica's power comes from its concept of projections - just like normal DBs benefit from indexes. I'd really like to see how it performs to these other systems once it's been tuned properly because in my experience it's always been the fastest DB I've ever worked with.

I'm just imagining each of those individual issues sitting at the bottom of a Jira backlog.

One thing that causes them to be prioritized where I work is that if they come up during a yearly review, you can't ship your app. Overriding that "stop-ship" order requires C-level approval. Because without a specific exploit, it might be hard to convince a PM to move those up in the backlog.
I don't understand the benefits of forcing it to be in a separate file. I'd rather at least optionally you could include the types in the source file where you defining the methods.

Being able to define an interface instead of pure un-specified "duck type" is great.
