I agree with you that the biological inspiration for a neural network is tenuous at best. Especially the basic two-layer network outlined here.

However at least for visual perception, there is some scientific basis for convolutional neural networks having some properties to biological visual perception. The work of Hubel and Wiesel demonstrated visual cortex activations that look very similar to the first layers of CNN kernels.

As the sibling comment said, this is most likely a methodology error. The difference is due to the 3900X benchmark goes plainly wrong. I guess the take home lesson is if someone is benchmarking a Zen-like CPU without mentioning "NUMA" at least once in their post, just don't trust it.
Apple is super fucking rich, I wouldn't be surprised if they are ready to pay TSMC enormous money to make monster monolithic dies, and Mac Pro could be single-socket only, packing >128 cores into one socket.
The article is not about sex workers but about virtual pimps and it is not advocating for sex workers but for the pimp's business.
Big difference.
The really sad part about this is that Microsoft was the systems programming startup. Their software engineers changed the world. Of course, that was 40+ years ago, but it's sad to see them turn away from their technical roots.
The latest generation of consoles have (or at least have been slated to have for some time) very significant improvements in IO bandwidth.

To the extent that it may make sense to use file formats that map very closely to in-memory formats, or to duplicate data, even at the cost of file size. If you can stream data faster than you could feasibly decompress it, and if having a flat format is faster than a normalised de-duplicated one, a lot of common sense ideas are inverted.
> Apple shipped 64-bit ARM processors for the iPhone at least a year before Qualcomm could do it for Android devices. The reaction to the A7 was similar to what we're seeing now with the M1—not possible, there's some trickery going on, etc.

That is because it is not possible to ship a top-end design for a new ISA in that amount of time. The more reasonable answer is they had been working on a new core design for some years before. AMD has hinted that their Zen design makes it relatively easy to swap the x86 frontend for an ARM frontend.

Apple was considering buying MIPS around that time. I suspect they strong-armed ARM into accepting their ARMv8 proposal because it was good and because Apple buying MIPS would be disastrous for ARM's share price. At that point, it wasn't faster than possible, it was just designing the last part of the chip (or if both frontends were being worked on in tandem, cancelling one of them and focusing everyone on the other).

This explains why ARM announced v8 and then took the full 4 years to ship their first low-power core (A53) and even longer to ship their bad first try at a high-performance core (A57 -- with the more baked A72 being superior in almost every way).
Yup, 6x old i5 thinkpads will require more space, more power and will likely be more expensive than 6x Pi.

How would you feel if your underage daughter did not want to work in porn, but someone covertly recorded her having sex and uploaded it to pornhub?

Can someone please explain to me why Pfizer/BioNTech needs a -94 temp to preserve it (i.e.: specifically what is in the vaccine that becomes so biodegradable even at reasonably low temperatures) and similarly why is Moderna one more temperature stable)?
You can rent cars, houses, computers - what law would normally forbid those financial relationships?

Cable companies and other utility providers need special treatment in the law because they enjoy special advantages as monopolists. Instead of saying "anyone is allowed to dig up the road, bury cables and let the customers choose the provider with the best service" we often allow only one or two cable providers and add some special rules to make them treat their hostage customers better.

I'm glad that monetized platforms like Twitch and OnlyFans exist. It's an accessible way for the younger generations to make ludicrous amounts of money for not too much up-front investment. There's definitely work and downsides involved, just not like some lesser paid, more credentialed professions. Hopefully this puts pressure on the essential jobs in society to actually raise compensation in comparison.

The rest of us boring, unattractive folks will just have to settle for desk jobs.

Even if that were a rigorous study, not an anecdote, as the sibling commenter mentioned, you would have to compare the suicide rate of those who had undergone gender confirmation surgery with that among other trans people—including those who were still in the closet, which complicates the matter significantly.
The initial US batches of Pfizer and Moderna total 150 million doses and it's not clear how much more they will be able to sell the US for delivery next year (perhaps 200 million additional doses...).

And then there are other vaccines that will be available in much larger volumes if they are approved.
> As an asexual person, I wish this wasn’t the case, and I find it extremely triggering how hard it is to completely avoid adult content online.

By "extremely triggering", I assume you mean "somewhat annoying"?

Why does it annoy you that "adult content" is difficult to avoid completely? Should a homosexual person be annoyed (or "triggered") that depictions of heterosexual behavior can't be avoided completely? Or vice versa? I don't think so.

nope, obviously that's a continuum but it's been found to be much further towards the airborne end than was originally generally thought: [here](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2....)
Let me guess - it's thrown when it's already not in the very edible condition? And it's produced in the first place in the hope that it will be bought at the price asked?

So, I'm not sure that those who produce (or distribute) it will agree at once "let's give right away half of produced for free". But if you pressure them much, they might "agree" to cut the production in half. But you may imagine where that could lead.

Finally, you may expect the government to buy half of it right away to give away for free. Well, good luck with running with that line for president, probably won't work even in Sub-Saharan Africa. And likely the food will still be trash when reaching the target audience, due to government efficiency.

>My perspective is that people who allocate capital see this effort as workers becoming rent-seekers. So there are capitalists, and a capitalist rent-seekers; and there are workers, and worker rent-seekers.

Out of these two phenomena, which do you think is the most problematic when it comes to making a less hellish society? Usually capital allocators have captured massive surpluses without giving equivalent productivity in return, and the work of allocating capital is romanticized by those same allocators to be far more productive than it probably is in reality. In reality, the concept of privatized profits and collectivized externalities is so central as to erase most other concerns. Not to mention that the work that actually generates capital or labor itself will logically be far more important in aggregate to work that merely allocates capital they did not generate, even if of course that work can have positive consequences.

>So some of this is actual productive work that allocates capital or resolves disputes, and its not always easy to draw the line between parasitic activity and productive activity in these domains

If these professions were to strike, would the public even notice unless told to? Some specific capital owners would not get wealth redistributed to them from other unluckier owners with less redistribution specialists, but the welfare of the rest of the population would not be impacted since the actual wealth produced would still be there.
> The reason people are making these comparisons between CPUs that are basically in entirely separate market segments is because of apples marketing suggesting that the M1 beats everything

I thought it was pretty clear they were talking about mobile with the m1.

I think we're seeing posts around desktop CPUs and AMDs upcoming chips because non-Apple people are concerned/annoyed, possible subconsciously, that Apple Silicon is within striking distance of being some of the best hardware out there. I'm not saying that Apple has earned that crown yet, but if they do, and it's only available on Apple machines, it will annoy a lot of power users who want the best.
Was any of that invented in silicon valley? None of those things were even improved by silicon valley, it was mostly large pre-existing corporations or government funded research (google was founded on a public campus, for example). ISPs are also mostly subsidised by the government.
The author did ultimately choose to leave, but in general we can't expect kids under 20 years old (or even under 30 years old for that matter) to make great life choices. I certainly didn't.

It usually takes experience to be able to make good choices. You have to learn from your mistakes. It's not helpful advice to suggest "Never have regrets, never make mistakes".

We can sell our bodies to be destroyed in coal mines, sitting at desks, smash them up building homes, abusing them in sports, catch a Covid-19 bug...

Only if the pleasure comes from that new gadget or next airfare (which is destroying the environment but so it is)
From my experience the cheapest reliable ones in terms of storage, cpu, ram performance come at about 3$/month (+-50 cent). I can recommend Hetzner.
I think this might have a few benefits:

- better handing of personal information of everyone, on the premise it might be a law enforcement officer

There is no biological analogue to backprop, any supervised learning step, etc. Nor, conversely, a mathematical analogue of neuroplasticity, biochemical signalling, etc.

I haven't gone far on looking at CNN vs. visual context, but I could only imagine the analogue exists at the hierachical-geometric level; ie., it isnt a model of function, but simply a model of how one can in principle process visual information.

(Which any system parsing information would follow, AST parsers, etc. are likewise hierarchical.).
It’s business. This is all part of the reputation and image Apple wants. Any reasonably managed business will lean into its differentiations. This happens in every business sector at any measurable scale.
The article is not exactly sympathetic to the "virtual pimps":

> Like many industries that rely on talent that is often young and naive, greedy middlemen (almost always men) who control production and channels of distribution take all the upside for themselves. A perfect example is porn mega-name Mia Khalifa, who was paid a grand total of $12,000 for only a handful of shoots - a tiny, tiny fraction of the value her content has generated for distributors like Pornhub.

Nonetheless this problem is not unique to porn. We don't criminalize Patreon, Medium, Spotify, PayPal, or Visa. We probably should, but if we're going to start dismantling exploitative business practices on moral grounds, why start with the most precarious workers and not the most entrenched and richest middlemen?
The people to ask are doctors because without their buy in, patients won't be able to contact them anytime, anywhere.
In a similar vein, other things I find interesting in the software industry:

- Startups looking for a CTO but they already know they will run in the cloud and have chosen their frontend and backend stacks.

- The way mainstream technologies get established not by quality but by pure luck. Javascript was a pretty poor language added to the Netscape browser in a hurry, but since everybody hated Microsoft at that time it succeeded.

- The way old technologies remain relevant just because many people know about them and there is a good ecosystem/large codebases. C/C++ comes to mind.

- The way compensation is hardly tied to the value created. Often you can only advance by switching jobs all the time. That will not let you learn from your mistakes, and systems become legacy very quickly.

- The overkill of infrastructure in the cloud just to get a simple system running. This is the complexity the author mentions, which leads to huge and expensive support orgs and high costs. I still love building a system from the ground up as much as possible with very few moving parts instead of gluing together the latest AWS services. It's shocking how many orgs believe they need to rely on K8S just because everyone else does.
"Serverless" has to be the most confusing misnomer ever. How about calling it "Stored procedures" or something.
Google also indexes and returns results for websites that host not only illegal underage porn but terrorism websites, racist websites, etc. and profit from it but we give them a pass? You are making a “what about this??” argument and ignoring that they have mechanisms in place to remove illegal content which any website that allows user-generated content cannot control.

My critique is more about the wide disapproval of the porn industry itself, which you can already see in the comments of this post, which I find both absurd and harmful to the vast majority of legitimate employees of this very popular and mainstream industry.
> As an asexual person, (...) I find it extremely triggering how hard it is to completely avoid adult content online.

I would have guessed that if I were asexual, then adult content would leave me completely indifferent, wouldn't it? If I am annoyed by adult content it's precisely because it's extremely distracting; sometimes, when I have work to do, I would prefer to be asexual (at least for a few hours).
No it isn't. The internet is for tracking users, and users mostly don't care. Porn is the antithesis of that.
Porn always reminds me of other classical debates that have no end like guns and abortion. The camps of folks in the middle who are cognitively capable of making a difference can't because the outsized voices on either side of them are screaming for either total freedom or total shutdown. They actively fear monger people out of action so no real progress is made. It prevents the best coders and business people from working on these problems and leaves a void for seedy people to fill. This is a human problem and I think largely a problem derivative of manipulative overthinking and over empathy.

I see this article as more of an interesting take on how wealthy Silicon Valley men perceive each other. My basis for that is that virtually anything sex related, apart from toys, cannot be purchased with credit or debit cards. Banks created that paradigm so of course it would be difficult for any VC firm to justify using non-fiat currency to enrich themselves. To apply gender to this and to arbitrarily add to the list of problems that men created is dubious at best.

If you want tech to create solutions for sex, the sex industry, and sex workers at large then people need to change. Already there are people on this thread attempting to correlate what I assume is BDSM to pedophilia, and echoing the voices I mentioned earlier. Protecting sex workers or even sex enthusiasts will always be an iterative game that requires constant attention. The worst thing we can do is to continue to ignore it and apply moralistic language from either end of the spectrum to the problem.

Some people might really enjoy a fallacy like action is inaction here, which is telling.
Wtf How can you know with that much details what's on OnlyFans if you don't like porn and (supposedly) don't go on it ?

I like porn and I had not even heard of Onlyfans before 2 months ago.
Is it as young as that? I'm surprised.

One of the earliest web sites I can remember is this one:

The lack of rules while opening up the world of complexity is what makes go interesting. Since chess involves 'functional pieces' I feel it may be doomed from the start. The two games may be scratching entirely different itches I'm afraid.
Not all is bad, the whole aspect of the M1 bringing alternative CPU architectures to the front mindset outside the mobile landscape is good.

Remember ARM been around for years but has lacked in some area's of code development and been a back-seat passenger in so many avenues and drivers being one of those that stands out. Now the push to cope with two architectures more will be more prominent in design of software as well as support.

That all ends up laying the foundations that will only go to help alternative CPU architectures more over the one x86 size fits all that many avenues have and are still based around.

We have been slowly reaching a plateau in CPU performance and been case of adding many cores and riding the process node for that performance leap as more space for more cores at same power limits. That has almost already plateaued and now seeing lower power usage as already have enough cores, start to become more viable for desktop. So many timing factors do start to play out now and RISC V or whatever others are out there will now have a better chance to compete upon a playing field in which their worst case would be good enough for many tasks and their best case would be able to shine and not be held back as unable to scale as easily due to limitations as those limitations eroding away, albeit slowly it is a case that we are slowly by surly seeing things move in the right directions.

As an aside, I'd perversely love a CPU that had multi architecture cores on-board - even if was two CPU's architectures on the same SOC core.

That all said, still waiting for ECC memory to become more mainstream consumer wise.
> the partners (Samsung, Qualcomm etc) are the ones implementing the SoC and hence controlling the wider memory system.

And I assume the partners also do some things differently, for at least somewhat legitimate reasons, and no one ARM design can be optimal for everyone.
If only it applied those politicians and media moguls who have been peddling hate against other countries, the EU, the disadvantaged and even scientists and economists for many many years.
Is there platform like StackOverflow to ask more about best practices / architectural issues?

The other day I gave a very detailed question on StackOverflow about solving a specific problem in computer vision. I have little experience in CV, but wanted to know from experts into what I should look into or how they would tackle this problem / find other edge cases I were missing etc. My question got deleted since I wasn't able to provide any code, but more of a "This is how I imagine it to do" and that was not a coding question. I tried reddit, but there was no real activity.
So the reason society should pay people more for actual work is because creeps like you enjoy throwing thousands of dollars at 18 year olds who will say your name while masturbating on cam? Pathetic.
Thanks for this, the other comments had left me, a layman, thinking this was actually useful instead of just for fun.
I wish someone could take this simple example and add GPU support (and how that can be accomplished best OpenCL/CUDA etc.) just so one could understand how the GPU actually helps accelerate things when the amount of neurons/layers grows?

Edit: A bit sad that OpenCL does not work on Jetson Nano and I can't find anything recent that allows Java to run CUDA!? So we're back to AMD?

Also "In the next post we will see if adding another layer to our neural network can help in improving the predictions ;)" but there is no next post even after 4 years!
The outer World is not the place where people will find what comforts them.

Imagine forcing asexuality on the vast majority of the people in the World (and in history) that are not asexual.

The remarks around pedophilia sound more like a competitor trying to push an agenda against PornHub that a concerned citizen expressing an informed opinion.

Pedophilia has been traveling on any medium the humans have invented throughout history, I guess if one wanted to fight it by shutting down the platforms delivering it, internet as a whole (and probably TCP/IP as well) would be the first one that would have to go.

No, you can bundle functions like foreach, map, reduce and similar in your own `functional-bash.sh`, exporting them with `export -f`; so, if you include something like `. ~/bin/functional-bash.sh` in your `.bashrc` (or similar) file, these basic functions are available in all your scripts!
