The Cooler Master Hyper 212 is /the/ quintessential cooler for me.

Launched in 2007 & rev'ed time & time again, it's brought performance somewhere in the same domain as heatsinks that often cost twice or three times as much. It's $34 atm.

The thing that finally got me to swap was a respected Cooler Master 240mm water cooled loop for $80, which is quieter still.
True! But they’re spending the dollars, so their preference is what will be built for (see: Ford’s vehicle lineup, all trucks and SUVs). And if you attempt to regulate against them, you’ll get voted out (just like NIMBYs).
Be interested in solving real problems by providing real solutions. Make your pitch, answer questions. Then stop talking or else you'll talk your customer right out of the sale. Above all, be human and be open with others. They aren't buying your product or service, they're buying YOU.

It's a hack. The best hacks are intrinsically interesting. Their only purpose is to satisfy one's curiosity. They don't need to have a point. :)
I’m amazed no one pointed out that OpenAI will be dead within 5 years unless it monetizes GPT-3.

Democratizing AI is a fine goal, but it’s secondary to not dying. At least, for OpenAI it is. And that should be obvious.
It's not random YouTube videos. The videos are from 3 highly credentialed lawyers. Catherine Herridge is also a credentialed journalist for CBS News. Even NPR has reported this. Yet you call everything which doesn't fit your political narrative "conspiracy theory".
I think there's a fair argument that groups attempting to make a specific product are more likely to drive platform development than random individuals who just want to noodle around. This isn't to say that the more individual experimenters won't drive development too, just that when you're dealing with limited resources you do have to make some decisions about allocation.

Just framing it in terms of money and "generating positive press coverage" is a little cynical IMO. Is prioritizing any cool use cases of their technology that push the boundaries of today's technology to create real use cases besides "haha look I can make GPT3 parody VC Medium/LinkedIn articles" just press optics? I don't think so but can also understand the concern especially given this article is about democratization.
IMO the whole VC model is totally ass backwards. Spend money on infra (direct thing we want) or UBI, and let actual demand drive the investment.

Whether it's innovation grants or QE-driven VC, this is just supply-side bullshit making Frankenstein unprofitable hypeups.

If materially content Europeans don't wanna buy more money, that's great! Just keep on reducing working ours until it's clear what needed to be automated, and send the engineers to work on that.

FAANG envy is depressing and pathetic.
As big as you want, kind of. The challenge, as in large-scale physics, is how many nodes you can stick together with sufficiently high bandwidth (low latency is less important in the ML space, because there are lots of ops per byte, unlike some CFD Simulations that have very few per update).

On our Cloud TPU product page [1], we have a single TPU v3 pod with 32 TB of memory. For the most recent MLperf submission, the TPU folks hooked up four of them [2]. There’s obviously a reduction in scalability from doing so (see weak scaling versus strong scaling terminology), but that’s the interesting co-design question: what kind of models can you usefully train in an “even more distributed” mode?

Outside of TPUs though, even our single 16x A100 offering has 640 GB all connected by NVLINK (other providers went with 8, so 320 GB of “system memory”) and there are at least a few in a single rack. So the era of TiB scale models is certainly “semi feasible” and “open to all”.

The challenge is that you need to also train these for quite some time. 1000 V100s would cost you at least $2000/hr to rent. Many models are sufficiently complicated (not just large) that you end up training them for days and weeks, even with this much compute. So the numbers add up quickly.

But just being “big” doesn’t mean “trained for a month on a supercomputer”.

Is that a "trend"? It seems like niche / student activist behaviour. I live in a city where a banner with those words has reportedly been flown a few times but it bears no reflection on my actual experience.
I think both of you make interesting points. Clearly, the US market-driven model is more successful at producing companies that can internationalize. But there is little doubt the explosion in venture funds is tied to the financial climate pursued by the US government.

Here's an article mentioning the introduction of the Cooler Master Hyper 212. In 2007.

https://www.techpowerup.com/40672/cooler-master-launches-a-d...

Agreed, I'm not sure what the hook is in this article. I would & do recommend the Hyper212, as a well performing heat-sink at a very very affordable price point ($34). Well worth it for a little less power draw, a cooler system, less noise. It was fun to see the Hyper212 in this article, but again, not sure what the hook is here, what makes this particularly shareable.

You could ask for a success based incentive.
The issue there is you're trying to run Linux like it is Windows. If you do that then you're never going to have a good experience. For example if you're after Windows software on Linux or insist on downloading software rather than using the package manager then you clearly prefer the Windows-style workflow. Which is fine -- everyone has their own preferences. But if that is your preference then the issue isn't Linux doing things wrong, the issue is you just prefer Windows.

For what it's worth, I equivalent teething pains when using OS X for a while. It took me a few months before I finally learned to adopt Mac-isms and I still don't feel at home on it like I do on Linux and BSD (my preferred platforms). Windows, however, always felt somewhat alien to me (and not through a lack of experience, I used to be a Windows developer and have written some pretty low level software for the platform. But even with all of that experience I still couldn't see eye to eye with the OS).

By the way, there are Linux-native builds of WinRAR.
Not anymore, I quit such jobs ;)
Multi-display or a huge single display and a cooperate window manager is a real game changer for productivity... unless of course "desktop" actually means a laptop used away from a desk.
Part of the complaint is that these things don’t have to be as complicated as they are. The fridge with the touchscreen screen is usually more frustrating than the fridge from thirty years ago. The smart TV is usually more frustrating for its smart features.

Things are getting more complicated, like you say, but they frequently aren’t getting enough better to justify the added complexity, especially given all the issues that come along with it.
What do you think would convince you in the high school that math was important and worth studying?
There are plenty of places within a two hour drive or train ride from NYC where you can see gigantic steel concrete and brick structures that are less than 150 years old well into the process of dissolving. If you live in prosperous cities and don’t have to maintain property, it’s understandable how you can be unfamiliar with the relentless processes of rust, melt-freeze weathering, erosion, storm damage, how quickly vegetation grows, and so on.
"The clock mechanism is very simple and expects 1m impulse with different polarity on every run to move the arrows"

This is interesting because that's very similar to how the Swiss railway clocks synchronize their time. The second hand takes 58.5 seconds to make one full rotation, and then the clock pauses and waits for a central pulse that comes every minute.

If I'm not mistaken I believe most of their actual station clocks are made by Mobatime, although Mondaine seems to have gotten the rights for the Swiss railway's merchandise, which is kind of sad because they haven't replicated that characteristic and historic smooth second hand and pause-and-go motion on their clocks and watches, and seem to have slapped on a run-of-the-mill cheap ticking quartz mechanism.
So a civilization thousands years more advanced than us failed to go to space (evidenced by the fact that they did not leave behind any space junk) but somehow produced energy from crystals?
The concept of free schooling emerged before socialism, and would not generally be thought of as socialist (or redistributive) by most people.
In this case the tabs (those of his that I've used, anyway) are not note-for-note transcriptions, but arrangements for solo guitar. Basically he takes the melody, chord progression and other distinctive features of the song, and puts it all together in a way that is playable and sounds good on a single guitar without a singer.

Although this kind of arranging can be done quite formulaically, when done well it is usually a genuinely creative process involving plenty of choices on the part of the arranger. I dabble (badly) with an acoustic guitar, and quality solo arrangements that aren't too hard to play are a very valuable thing. The best arrangement I've created for myself could be generously described as mediocre, despite being based on the official sheet music.
No it looks like revenues have been flat.
Curious to hear if you think there'd be value in a lossy conversion to Tiled XML/JSON as well. It might help with adoption if developers can take advantage of existing loaders, even if it's not perfect.

That said, I don't know what the amount of work would be, especially if the two formats make different decisions on how to do things.
I can imagine the meetings.
I’ve had a lot of fun learning RISC-V assembly off and on over the last year. I went through a colleague of mine’s tutorial series on implementing an operating system targeting RISC-V using Rust. Now I’m working on my own small assembler for RISC-V.

It’s been so much more fun to learn than x86!

Edit: link to the tutorial (http://osblog.stephenmarz.com/)
I got my favorite response from https://www.kalzumeus.com/2016/06/03/kalzumeus-podcast-episo... – variations on "It sounds like you’re trying to qualify me for a range, and if that’s the case, then I’m happy to let you know if your range is in the ballpark"
Are you sure it isn’t, at least partly, due to intrinsic costs of turning raw materials into usable materials?

> Yes: but don't you think that going to collect the weapon furthers the conspiracy to commit murder?

Well arguably that didn't happen.

> There'd inevitably be argument over whether it met the required standard, which differs by jurisdiction. e.g. did it advance the conspiracy substantially? did it take the conspiracy past the point of no return?

I'd say that going to a place where you would get equipment is not something that substantially advances the conspiracy, even if there was a gun! It's actually getting the equipment that might do so, depending on what the equipment is. And if you're still collecting necessary equipment, or especially doing a prerequisite to collecting equipment, you're nowhere near the point of no return.
Well you know the saying..."If you met one asshole today, that person was an asshole. If everyone you met was an asshole today..."
At one level yes, most everything built will disintegrate with time, but we have fossilized footprints from dinosaurs. An industrial society disappearing without a trace seems unlikely. Although the vast majority of the evidence would be lost there will always be traces left if you know what to look for.
> is also scared about Microsoft's strategy here?

Terrified. I'm expecting the next round of secure boot to come, this time without the ability to disable or add your own keys. To the people that complain they can't boot linux, I expect the response to be "but you can run linux from windows, silly!"
That's a poor portrayal of EEE. Of course this move is largely about supporting Azure usage, it just supports Azure usage by locking developers out of proper Linux distros.

When you use the proprietary DirectX extension in WSL, you're not developing for Linux anymore, you're developing for WSL, a proprietary package. And now that you're reliant on DirectX/WSL/Windows, what cloud provider are you going to pick? You see, the Azure Advantage (TM) is that only Microsoft knows how to run DirectX on Linux effectively, because only Microsoft can inspect and modify the code. The Azure Advantage (TM) is that only Microsoft has the proprietary rights for Windows, so Microsoft can charge their competitors anything they want while offering it on Azure at a (relatively) affordable price.
That story seems more or less to be a myth, too. And there seems to be a good reason why they used from pencils, which they used in the beginning to pens:

"Pencils may not have been the best choice anyway. The tips flaked and broke off, drifting in microgravity where they could potentially harm an astronaut or equipment. And pencils are flammable--a quality NASA wanted to avoid in onboard objects after the Apollo 1 fire."

If you had clicked the link, you'd see that it is primary a list of libraries. Admittedly I had not considered that Swift can use native C libraries. I'm not sure whether it makes sense to expect a wrapper library or not, whether that would help. But overall, I'm pretty sure no one is doing nor advancing towards HTTP3 in Swift at the moment, which makes me feel like the Swift community is not a serious player for general development.

Some trivia, not necessarily a recommendation: Node.js is the only language I know of working towards HTTP3 support in the platform (also in this link, evidence that I may be biased in my priorities):

Maybe IRS just knows that they're being underfunded precisely to stop them from auditing Congress's rich sponsors, so they proactively self-censor their audits to prevent further cuts?
Also you can't run anything Metal-based by default (which is a lot of things on macOS these days). You can theoretically PCI passthrough a GPU, but we're not to the point where you can use GVT-g based Intel passthrough to get something functioning. Such magic has seemed "very close" for a number of years now [1]

> I do not currently have the ability to not have a full time job

It sounds like you've had a stable job for a while already, yet you are not in a position to survive for a while without income. How will this be different in the next few years? When will you have such ability?

> I would be losing [...] a lot of the upside monetary benefit if this becomes successful

How much will you be losing if you never get to try? Or only get to do it when it is too late and others have already done it?

> [...] technology platform I and my team built

Building a technology platform and establishing a business are two very different things. Do you want to build a company or build the product you've been dreaming of? If you found a company (especially if you do it alone) most of your time and energy will be focused on the former, not on the latter.

If building this platform is the most exciting work you can think of doing and you don't see dropping everything right now to pursue that dream, my advise here would be to do it with this company.

Negotiate good incentives and convince yourself that you wouldn't have done it by yourself just like you haven't for the last few years you've been thinking about it. This way you will be able to focus all your energy on actually building the thing, and you will have a nice compensation if it pans out. If it doesn't, you will have at least tried and possibly dodged financial ruin in the process.
And, as predicted by the argument, the fossils don't abound, and to find them you have to start digging.
> Remember though that tax revenue is actually dominated by the little guy.

That's not correct. 4.5% of returns account for almost 60% of taxes. 17% of returns account for almost 80% of taxes. And that was before the Trump tax cuts.

Thanks for the kind words!

> From your post it is a bit unclear what you mean by feeling under-experienced compared to your peers. Is it at technical level? Work ethic/principles? Understanding of the whole technology stack? Or perhaps process in your company?

I feel the greatest trepidation around devops. Particularly in recent years I have noticed I am struggling to grasp the fundamental concepts of common tools. Kubernetes is a convenient example. Beyond k8s itself, I feel as if I'm drowning in the ecosystem which has grown around it.

At some point my mind seems to all lost all plasticity.

> These should give you, in my humble opinion, some fresh motivation and abstract overview on software development in general.

Absolutely! Both books gave me great encouragement very early in my career, I should read them again. Indeed, I will hopefully have a greater appreciation and better understanding of the topics covered now that I have more experience.

I stopped reading books on software around the time I started feeling inadequate in my position. They became more of a source of anxiety than inspiration. That must sound perverse!

I recently started reading "A Philosophy of Software Design" (978-1732102200). It has been a refreshing experience and I am hoping eases my back into such literature.
> "foo IN (a, b, c)" can often be better done as "foo = ANY(ARRAY[a, b, c])" in Postgres - not least because you can shift to passing in an array of variable size without having to construct a special statement for each.

When using Oracle and the values are not static/a literal you should be using

foo = ANY(SELECT column_value FROM TABLE(?))

with an array as a bind parameter. This saves on hard parses, increases the effectiveness of cached session cursors and any client side prepared statement cache.
You have to record all forex investing gains and incomes. So if you have an account with euros and are exchanging them to dollars throughout the year to buy things, you must report gains and losses as well.

I think the issue is that for tax purposes anytime something changes to dollars and gains or losses occur.

Whether crypto is currency or an asset won’t affect this much. I think you need a new tax rule altogether that let people “settle up” at the end the tax period or something.
To get a 1978 ic, they had to have a board to prise it off, or unsold stock. I wonder if there is something in a chip leg, package or substrate which changes in desoldering, such that you can tell how many times it was repurposed.
I think apps could look to how music spreads for inspiration here. There is not a huge importance on "ratings" in music consumption, and some people spend a lot of time listening to playlists or DJ sets by curators. Plus you have apps like Shazam that can identify songs mid-air and mid-play. Translate this to apps?

Or, imagine an App Store, but without search, categories, or any kind of discoverability at all. Let the community handle the discoverability aspect.

You can learn about the theory of sales, I’ll leave the others to post it.
Long time sales specialist here:
Sales is situational and hard to generalise. There is an important social aspect to sales. You need to know your customer and be able to read their reactions. All individual customers are, well, individuals. They react differently, have different expectations and bring different experience and behaviour to the table. You need to adjust during conversation and be prepared for the worst case scenarios.

I think you're right about straight transcriptions (which the person you replied to was indeed talking about), but the guy in the OP link creates his own arrangements for solo guitar.
