For anything long term and high volume it's far cheaper to use open source solutions and hire a manual review team in the developing world where English is a common second language. Unless you are comfortable with the high rate of errors there's still a need for review.

As long as we can transact freely and respect private property, the culture wars are not as important as some would make them.
Directly translated, it means "It walks", or "it'll walk" – a rough translation of the meaning into English would be "Eh, it'll work".

In fact, I could swear I've heard the phrase "I'm gonna let this walk for now" as in "I'm gonna let this infraction pass unpunished" in American English in a movie or something, but Google doesn't seem to be throwing up too many references for that. But you could imagine it in the same way too, as "let it walk".
There's a pretty big assumption that the deal even gets approved.

Even if it does get approved, and even if NVIDIA decides to not screw up any of the licensees, the whole notion of NVIDIA being capable of doing so to any of their (NVIDIA's) competitors, will surely mean extra selling points for all of ARM competitors like MIPS, RISC-V etc.
From the press release directly, it appears to be 10% of NVIDIA:

https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-to-acquire-arm-for...

> Under the terms of the transaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of NVIDIA, SBG and Arm, NVIDIA will pay to SoftBank a total of $21.5 billion in NVIDIA common stock and $12 billion in cash, which includes $2 billion payable at signing. The number of NVIDIA shares to be issued at closing is 44.3 million, determined using the average closing price of NVIDIA common stock for the last 30 trading days. Additionally, SoftBank may receive up to $5 billion in cash or common stock under an earn-out construct, subject to satisfaction of specific financial performance targets by Arm.

Since NVIDIA currently has 617 million shares outstanding, if the earn-out were to be fully in common stock, this would bring Softbank to 8.8% of NVIDIA from this transaction alone (plus anything they already have in NVIDIA as public-market investors).

(I believe that the Forbes analysis in the sibling comment is mistaken in describing this as a "10% stake in new entity" - no new entity is mentioned in the press release itself.)
What you describe reminds me of the peer review system in place at a previous company I worked at. The review period was every 6 months. The way it worked was that as an individual you'd rank (and comment on) everyone you had worked with the previous 6 months based on your perception of how much value they added to the company over those previous 6 months. It could be based on some project they delivered, or them simply always answering your questions about something you needed to know to move your own projects forward, or them participating thoughtfully in company wide discussions. Once everyone had submitted their rankings, an algo would figure out everyone's final rank. The various pay level cutoffs would then be decided by eng management.

It so happens that at that company everyone's title was simply 'Software Engineer'. There was no ego bs so it was a great place to work. I think how helpful you were to others being part of the review is another reason for that. There was a way to see some people's 'rank' by looking at the org chart if you really wanted to. In general swe and senior swe would be under an eng manager, if someone was directly under a director that told you something, and if someone was directly under a vp that also told you something.
In my case, I think the correct expression would be "what's so hard about meaningful PDF ext extraction"

My company uses the services of, and has some sort of partnership with, a company that makes it's business out of parsing CVs.

Recently we've seen a surge in CVs that after parsing return no name and / or no email, or the wrong data is being fetched (usually, from referees).

So, out of curiosity I took one (So far) pdf and extracted the text with python.

Besides the usual stuff that is already known (As in, the text is extracted as found, e.g., if you have 2 columns the lines of text will appear after the line at the same level in the document that is in the other column) what I found - obviously take this with a grain of salt as this is all anecdotally so far - is that some parts of the document have spaces between the characters, e.g.:

D O N A L D T R U M P

P r e s i d e n t o f t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s o f A m e r i c a

These CVs have the characteristics to be highly graphical. Also anecdotally, the metadata in the CV I parsed stated it was from Canvas [1]

> And the compiler doesn't even come close to having as much information as the CPU has.

Unless your CPU has a means for profiling where your pipeline stalls are coming from, combined with dynamic recompilation/reoptimization similar to IBM's project DAISY or HP's Dynamo.

It's not going to do well as out-of-order CPUs that make instruction re-optimization decisions for every instruction, but I wouldn't rule out software-controlled dynamic re-optimization getting most of the performance benefits of out-of-order execution with a much smaller power budget, due to not re-doing those optimization calculations for every instruction. There are reasons most low-power implementations are in-order chips.

Fantasy stories about archaeology do serious harm. I've mapped dozens of burials looted by people who had bought into similarly fanciful tales of lost treasures and empires. That fantasy didn't make them any richer, but it did desecrate hundreds of graves and destroy a lot of cultural heritage.

Please be careful with giving recommendations you know are inaccurate. Not only does it mean archaeologists have to go back and correct those misunderstandings, it contributes to the destruction of the very things we're trying to protect.

Is there any point in learning about cybernetics these days? It certainly sounds very important. But does it have an impact on software engineering as we know it today?

Side note: I find it interesting that Weiner's book, which was fairly technical and full of rather arcane calculus, was widely popular among general readers. Just goes to show how much reading culture has changed since the 50s.
So things they do you believe are common sense fail to replicate?
If you're the organization in charge of protecting against counterfeit claims, you better be able to tell the good, the bad, the fake apart. I don't think I'm setting too high of a standard. Also, when making a press release about your "success", it would be a good idea to take a breath and actually look into the seized goods. In this type of situation, waiting 1, 3, 5 or even 7 days until everything was clear would have zero negative effect.

I'm one of those people that never checks the "click here to never show this again" box on RDP cert warnings so I'll chime in.

In my mind, I know I really should manually grab a copy of the cert from work so I'm actually certain I'm not being MITM'd, but on the other hand I know the likelihood of that being the case is pretty darn low and I'm lazy so I don't. But I make sure that warning keeps popping up because I don't want to forget that I'm doing something dangerous.

The problem is to move capital from where it's not useful (in the bank accounts and portfolios of ultra-wealthy) to where it's useful.

A tax on consumption will have a bigger impact on less wealthy people whose income is spent towards basic needs, whereas more wealthy people hoard their capital (and profit out of it). I fail to see how a focus on consumption should be favored?
Also quite expensive since it is at the head of the pack IIRC. There is probably some value in making a competitor with new deep learning techniques provided you have a sufficiently diverse training set. It would take years to build tho.

What does your comment provide in terms of resolving the issue at hand?
For computer stuff YYYY-MM-DD makes the most sense usually, but for human stuff I prefer DD-MMM-YYYY. That gives you the day first, then the three letter month abbreviation, then the year. It’s still easy enough to understand for people while not being overly technical.
You’re supposed to drag-solder those. Look it up on YouTube, it’s super easy. The hardest part is positioning the chip, but it’s actually easier than with an oven, because you can rework it if you only solder one or two pins :)
I started reading into these supposed "fringe" theories surrounding Hancock and Robert Schoch and the other people talking about these ideas about a year ago and I find some of their arguments credible and not completely nuts and I honestly think there's something more there than what the official, established story is able to explain.

Some of the evidence Hancock presents doesn't hold much weight in my mind and I think he's just reaching but other pieces do.
For example, I think the Orion Correlation and Sphinx Erosion Hypothesis are interesting to look into. Also Gobekli Tepe.

There also doesn't appear to be any indisputable evidence that officially dates the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx to the purported time period of around 2,500 BC, the age of Khufu.

It doesn't necessarily have to be that Hancock's theories for what actually happened are right and he's not adamant they are either, only theories, but I think he's raised enough issues with what Egyptologists or Archeologists are saying is canonical to lead me to believe what the mainstream majority Egyptologists or Archeologists claim is certain fact may just be a local maxima based on interpretation of found evidence at the time the theories were first recognized and an unwillingness to change their position unless evidence to contradict them becomes so strong they can't deny it with a straight face.

It's also fascinating that many large burial / ancient civilization sites have been discovered even in the last 50 years, e.g., Cerutti Mastodon site, and also Amazon civilization remnants using Lidar, which leads me to hope a lot more could be discovered in the next 50 and greatly change what is purported on wikipedia as true.

GPU's, aren't general purpose compute. EPIC did fairly well with HPC/etc style applications as well, it was everything else that was problematic. So, yes there are a fair number of workload and microarch decision similarities. But right now, those workloads tend to be better handled with a GPU style offload engine (or as it appears the industry is slowly moving, possibly a lot of fat vector units attached to a normal core).

This is a myth. Modern "peer review" simply means checking to see if the claim is interesting and if the proper Word or LaTeX template was used. Peer review meant replication in the distant past before the modern

Maybe your comment is an earnest, but it sounds like conspiracy theory bait and has no actual content.
Let's just leave this one alone then. I can't argue with someone who claims anything is possible, yet absolutely nobody seems to be doing what you're referring to (except you). A100 now tops all MLPerf benchmarks, and the unavailable TPUv4 may not even keep up.

Trust me, I would love if TPUs could do what you're saying, but they simply can't. There's no direct DMA from the NIC to where I can do a streaming application at 40+Gbps to it. Even if TPU could do all the things you claim, if it's not as fast as the A100, what's the point? To go through undocumented pain to prove something?

I'm not talking about the SIMD portion of Volta.

I'm talking about Volta's ability to detect dependencies. Which is null: the core itself probably can't detect dependencies at all. Its entirely left up to the compiler (or at least... it seems to be the case).

AMD's GCN and RDNA architecture is still scanning for read/write hazards like any ol' pipelined architecture you learned in college. The NVidia Volta thing is new, and probably should be studied from a architectural point of view.

Yeah, its a GPU-feature on NVidia Volta. But its pretty obvious to me that this explicit dependency-barrier thing could be part of a future ISA, even one for traditional CPUs.

Thanks for your feedback. My understanding was that my method used was MCTS without Reinforcement Learning. I'll do some more research and look into clarifying this in the future. Thanks again.

Yes, but the Brexit referendum was only 1 month before SoftBank acquired Arm Holdings. The deal was probably already in progress, and finalised before the UK had any real policies about Brexit, so EU requirements would have been reasonable if decided ahed of time. But the timing may also explain the lack of any national security focused requirement (general confusion).
Older parts could be damaged somewhat easily by putting multiple drivers onto an internal tristate bus. If one driver is high and another is low, a current flows and one of the drivers is damaged.

Newer parts (Spartan-3 and later, maybe even earlier) dropped that feature -- it's no longer possible to create internal bus contention. You can still cause issues by driving an external pin that conflicts with an external driver, but that's pretty standard; even microcontrollers have that issue.
> I disagree that savings causes value to multiply -- that's reversing causality. Investment creates savings, not the other way around, and the relationship between investment and consumption is complex. It could be the case that a decrease in consumption results in a decrease in investment -- firms don't invest more when their sales are flagging.

Savings is deferred consumption, as a basic identity it merely represents value that is not consumed. This is what would happen if someone put cash under the mattress (discounting inflation/deflation). However most people put savings in a bank account (which traditionally pays interest and was long ago transformed into a form of low-risk investment) and the savings multiply at the interest rate because the bank loans their deposits out and those deposits are paid back with interest.

I’m not sure what you mean by “investment creates savings.” What is being invested, if not value that has not been consumed (i.e. savings)?

> It could also be that an increase in consumption leads to a decrease in investment, but the conditions for this are more limited.

Consumption and investment/savings are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. There is a scarce amount of resources and each unit can be either consumed (in which case it disappears) or saved/invested.

> Overall, growth in consumption tends to go with growth in investment in modern free economies.

It seems we are using different definitions for these words. I am using standard economic definitions. What definitions are you using?

> In the modern world, the most precious commodity is demand, not investment, and suppressing demand is generally foolish.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Demand without means of exchanging for the object of the demand is a bad thing. Demand is only good when the person demanding can pay for the thing demanded, otherwise their demand is not met or they are the recipient of a charity or welfare.
> no new entity is mentioned in the press release itself

The Forbes article is based on a joint interview today with the CEOs of Arm and Nvidia, who could have provided more detail than the press release, specifically:

> Arm operating structure: Arm will operate as an NVIDIA division

This level of detail can be confirmed during the analyst call on Monday. Operating as a separate division would help assuage concerns about Arm's independence. The press release says:

> Arm will remain headquartered in Cambridge ... Arm’s intellectual property will remain registered in the U.K.

Those statements are both consistent with Arm operating as a UK-domiciled business that is owned by Nvidia.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the article!

> For me, I know that at least the film is a piece of fiction with strong influences from reality — but pageants and kids twerking in mini skirts is a real thing. You can’t blame Cuties for existing.

This is a pretty thin defense. Honestly, child beauty pageants should probably end, too; I can think of no more attractive a venue for a pedophile to gravitate towards, and I can think of no stronger way to convince a young girl that her only value is her appearance. It's basically objectification practice sessions.

The movie is a problem because it uses the veneer of a story to normalize the distribution of material featuring sexualized children. The plot or moral of the story don't matter, because the subsection of the audience that most good parents are worried about are just going to fast forward that anyway, aren't they?

Meanwhile, we have yet another divide in the unending culture war, this time forcing you to be either on the side of people who defend the distribution of materials that sexualize children, or to be on the side of the so-called Evil Right Wingers who worry that this is yet another piece in a strategy to normalize pedophilia (as pedosexuality) over the course of a generation or so. It's odd that you can't just be a normal person who thinks it's gross and borderline abusive to have 11-year-old girls twerking on the TV.
