> Wouldn't it be nice if I could choose more CUDA cores if that's what I needed? Wouldn't it be nice if I could add more dedicated video RAM?

How would you achieve any of that? The single meaningful difference between data rates in normal DDR memory and GDDR is that the latter is designed for signaling where the chips are soldered directly on a pcb with very short traces, whereas the former is designed to accommodate the longer distances and narrower buses necessitated by having socket connections.

Any hypothetical new GPU connector would still have to have the memory soldered on the same board as the GPU. (Or, if you are going for the more advanced packaging methods, connected through an interposer or EMIB or something.)

> Why does a GPU use PCI-Express still?

Because PCI-Express is basically the best anyone can do. It has been rapidly evolved to the point where in the past there was a lot of win by using custom busses, but now everyone just uses PCIe because it's the best available. (And I mean everyone, almost all of the remaining custom buses used in high-performance workloads are basically PCIe with a few restrictions loosened.)

Basically the only way you can go up from PCIe is to go wider. And if you do that, what you will likely to do is to make a LGA or PGA style socket format, that talks PCIe.

By and large yes: T-SNE does it's best to achieve that - it's kind of tricky to take an N-dimensional space and flattening it to 2 dimensions. You inevitably get some tearing and some scatter.

So they're not always next to each other, but oftentimes.
He does mention, somewhat off-handedly, that the lack of email makes password recovery harder. (Presumably impossible without some other communications channel like a phone number.)

And you really need to be able to recover account access for a paid subscription. It's probably also reasonable to assume that if someone is going to give you a credit card number and address, they're probably OK with giving you an email.
But it retains the normal right-click behavior, so you can still right-click -> Copy email address.

The journalist definitely cannot access the information in the detail we'd want them to, that's true. My issue is more with their phrasing, because never would an article provide basic nuance like "This problem might not be common, and we don't know about how common it is in other products, these are just some randomly-selected cases we have found that happened in the past few years".

I think even with proper disclosures, we wouldn't necessarily be getting useful articles, but perhaps it'd at least help by enabling them to be more easily written.

Some parser like Spacy can give some tense additional information for verbs. But it's probably not custom enough for what you want.

Maybe you can give GPT-3 a try.

If you want to go the custom route, the easy way but which consume a lot of processing power, is to use a neural network and necessitate a boring dataset phase construction.

You build a dataset corresponding to your problem. And you learn it with the neural network.

For inspiration you can see my colorify browser extension, which uses a neural network to learn at the same time to split sentences, predict POS tags, predict root of the sentence, predict the parse tree which are then used to decorate the webpage.

What I did was just programmatically build a dataset from the spacy parser to build a custom javascript parser which does what I want. If I wanted to add some additional information that Spacy doesn't provide like grammar tenses and features, I can complete my dataset manually and have the network predict all the decorations at the same time, which allows it to not need a lot of samples because the layers are shared.

You can probably build your dataset faster by interacting with your neural network (active learning).

For the model you can start with something simple like a convolution residual network architecture. And later use some transformers when you want to reach state of the art.

“Misdiagnosis” in a very broad, not technically correct sense. The issue at hand is what some random civilian should do in the situation; the way that you’d deal with someone who’s just being an asshole is quite different from what you’d do when interacting with a sociopath or narcissist.

Not every asshole reaches the level to warrant a medical diagnosis as a personality disorder. The bar for personality disorders is purposefully set quite high, and usually requires that the symptoms persist over long periods of time. Some people are just plain jerks, other people have personality disorders that predispose them to behaviors and delusions that are harmful to other people.

As far as them being “less of an asshole” because of their diagnosis, I never said or implied that. No medical diagnosis will change the impact of one’s behaviors; knowing that the person who just flamed you is medically a narcissist doesn’t reduce the impact of the flames. It’s best to assess impact completely separate from intent, in my opinion.

That being said, assessing the intention of someone with a personality disorder is really hard (much harder than it is normally with any other person), because people with disorders appear to suffer internally delusions which serve to make their behaviors feel justified, even if the excuses don’t hold a lot of water to a neutral observer. Are they intending to cause harm and justifying it after the fact, or are they disconnected with reality and reacting intensely to events that only occurred in their own heads? I don’t know.

Per usual, I’m no expert, I’ve just done a lot of motivated reading on the subject.

yes. also extremely high quality cables which have been damaged in the field can develop a short.

None of this works at scale. The problem is that we are past carrying capacity. We need to control population. I am in favour of E.O. Wilson’s Half Earth solution where we set aside half the planet for habitat and inhabit only half of the land and leave the oceans alone.

I used to be that way, but now I do the full routine as if I were going into the office. I like it and I feel better about myself and more focused. I also am now very strict about having an actual home office which I go in from 9 to 12 with only my work computer, check out for lunch for an hour, then back in the office for the last half of the day with one break in the middle. This has made me really productive and let go of feeling like I need to be online all the time, working until 11pm, which I used to do because I always felt distracted and that I wasn't fully focused - in my boxers, watching Youtube and taking lots of breaks.
Thank you for responding.

I am too far away from the details and the history of the Portland police department to pretend to know what the right course of action is, but it seems to me that the "non-peaceful" part of the protest is actually making any resolution that much more difficult. That is to say it is a tactic that makes the problem worse not better.

I'm also pretty mystified as to why the normal political process was not able to resolve concerns about police activities/methodologies. As far as I can tell from afar, all the Portland elected officials are ideologically aligned with those initiatives. What prevented them from responding and if there really isn't the political will to make those changes through normal peaceful means, by what right to the protesters get to force their will on the entire community?
This would have been really cool maybe 8 years ago. Almost everyone I know at my university uses Facebook only for sharing "life updates" with older relatives who aren't on more trendy social media sites.
Per comment by @ystad above, I'll add that, if you're looking for maths resources beyond just Stats, that same guy from my first link (Professor Leonard) has really good videos on everything from pre-alegbra to differential equations. He is, imo, a really good lecturer and does a great job of explaining things.

His content is a mix of two modes: in one mode, he's actually teaching a college class and just recording the class. In those videos, you get to hear the questions from the students and some more banter back and forth with the class. The other mode is him teaching "to air" so to speak, where it's just him in a room with a camera and a whiteboard. Diffeq is done that way, because he didn't have a Diffeq class scheduled to record. As best as I can remember, this Precalc, Calc I, Calc II, and Calc III series, and that Stats series, are done with a live class. Not sure if that will matter to you or not: I've found his style engaging and enjoyable in either case.

If you want Linear Algebra, people swear by Gilbert Strang's videos on Youtube.

That sounds like another plea for cabon credits and some kind of market for them - you know, so wallstreet can play middleman.

The only fair way is IMHO to tax any carbon based fuel coming into the country or out of the ground. Whomever uses it will ultimately pay the higher price for it. Anything else is just playing favorites. I'm not a fan of it BTW, just pointing out what a fair way to penalize cabon use would be.

Great idea, but all these posts deserve the same qualifier: this should be considered an experiment / hypothesis, and not a recommendation that every other site / business / experience should apply without question.

There are times when removing email is best, and others where data or business vertical necessitates something different. You still need to verify with your users and do the appropriate testing / analysis / user research.
Also it seems like the amount is of type number. Ideally you would calculate in Dollarcents or Eurocents (I.e. solely use integers) like

100 Eurocents equal 1€

So you do not have any rounding involved

I wonder what engagement on Facebook looks like overall. Anecdotally, I haven't seen many in my (older) circle "rage quitting" Facebook but I've seen a lot of people going from using it pretty regularly to using it rarely or to a first approximation of never.
From the top-level statement section:

> Top-level statements enable a script-like experience for experimentation similar to what Jupyter notebooks provide. Top-level statements are great for small console programs and utilities.

This is great for small, one-off scripts that can handle simple tasks for sysadmin work. I use Powershell for handling configuration changes on the CLI, but I don't write and save many scripts with it. Perhaps I need to learn more about the PS environment to fix that. Either way, I have a hunch that there are some tasks—which would be cumbersome in PS—that this new feature would make accessible.
When Facebook first launched and was only available on certain campuses, it had an intimate and safe feeling. It was used primarily to share experiences with friends. The site was simple and compact. Feeds had a high signal to noise ratio, and it was about personal connection rather than political warfare. Somehow, unless they take on a content policy that bans news/politics/etc, I doubt they can get back to that place from where society is today. Even if the software was exactly the same as it was, we have changed and we have been changed in large part by social media these last 15 years.
The problem that most people these days use webmail, and most don't have mailto: configured to open their webmail client, so clicking on a mailto: link results in the Outlook application that you never use taking two minutes to open.

I think it's nifty, and I'll probably implement it on my personal site.

I view one of the largest reasons for this as trying to ensure they keep user retention for younger demographics for live chat, which they've been lagging behind quite a bit compared to e.g. Discord. If Facebook completely loses their young demographic network effects it would be very difficult for them to regain them.

This will be tough as Discord is currently happily enjoying its unlimited growth and no profits phase, and has enough network effects that it's almost impossible to not use it as a young Internet-using male in many countries.
Good experiment to see if this causes crime to increase.
Would an AMD event like this usually be an announcement about future products, a paper launch, or could one expect to buy one of these processors soon like? I'm looking to build a new system around an RTX 30-something. I would even consider a pre-built system if I can't get my hands on retail parts.
I think the Facebook site will be _very_ different in the next few years than what we're traditionally used to.

The strategy that Facebook has been pivoting towards is in favor of smaller community building, rather than the "mass market square" approach, which is why:

1) Groups have been more prominent and getting quite a bit of promotion

2) Messenger has gotten quite a bit of UX improvements

3) New features like "Rooms," which favor small / intimate video conversations

4) Investments in hardware experiences like Portal, which have been heavily marketed towards family communication thus far (successfully it seems, looking at their last revenue #'s.)

5) Facebook Workplace, which was a smart B2B play anyway, but also aligns with their "micro-community" approach

Zuck messaged this new pivot IIRC around the last US presidential election, but it may have started before that. Therefore I would expect to see more of these types of experiences:

"Facebook Campus" - "Facebook Workplace" - "Facebook [TBD]"
Is the t-SNE the best algorithm for this task?
The article mentions the tradeoff of username Vs email of increased willingness for people to sign up Vs losing the simple channel for password reset, but does not propose a solution outside of non-expiring cookies, which to me isn't really a satisfactory solution (though perhaps it works OK enough in practice for some types of use cases).

In my view, for most applications, the upside is not really worth that downside. It got me thinking though, are there any clever solutions to do password reset without an email / social media account login / etc? Does anyone know of any good ones?

As an everyday user of Go perplexed by this making it into the mainline, I'd like to second the request to make this feature optional. More documentation would be nice, but I'd prefer the default to change.

The assumptions in that v2 go modules article around the meaning of major semantic versions do not jibe with the way the majority of software in use today uses version numbers - they are most often used to denote new features, which may or may not have breaking changes large or small, and small breaking changes are tolerated all the time, often in minor versions. This assertion in particular seems wrong to me for most software in use today:

By definition, a new major version of a package is not backwards compatible with the previous version.
