Hi,

I am Igor Carron, the CEO of the company.

Our technology is different than the one used by Lightmatter and Lightelligence. We currently do not do integrated photonics.

We are starting from the ground up by first building a photonic co-processor that does one function (to be extended) of general interest to AI. the current function is a random projection. We believe that it will be complexified over time as we grow. But our particular focus is on those computations that are difficult to perform in electronics. In particular, our recent focus has been on Transformers/Large Language Models where we think our technology will be a game changer in the training and inference of these gigantic Machine learning models. For the training part, we published two papers at NeurIPS last year in the main conference. We also presented a more detailed one at one of the workshop: https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.06373
We are going to present a poster at HotChips this year about our foray in HPC: https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.14429
Other papers in AI are listed at the LightOn AI research page: https://lair.lighton.ai/

Physically, speaking, the Optical Processing Unit fits into a 2U rack (currently our focus has not been to miniaturize yet, we avoid permature optimization) that is connected to a CPU bus through a PCIe connection.

The technology has been running for the past three years anf half in datacenters for the oldest prototypes (we just decommisioned one a month ago or so) with Machine Learning computation unit tests being performed every ten minutes during that time period.

We are making the technology available for researchers to use on our LightOn Cloud cluster (https://cloud.lighton.ai/what-is-lighton-cloud/) and people can even rent one or several OPUs (LightOn Appliance: https://lighton.ai/lighton-appliance/ ).

I agree, we need to redesign our website.

Igor.
Still there are hundreds of corpses buried in unknown places all over Spain and right wing parties don't want them unearthed, identified and given to the families, also continuous homages to the dictator from the right wing parties claiming that dictatorship was a time of order and peace.
Same dog, different language.
That just isn't how things work. I believe you are making the wrong assumption that the same amount of open source work would exist. If that were the case, then yes, it wouldn't matter that much. But, a lot of contributions to open source wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for the licenses. That's the examples you've been given.
One key point is that this is from the UK, and BBC CBeebies is a lifesaver. Perfect toddler-friendly television of varied and interesting decently-written non-claptrap with no ads that isn't there to sell you toys, that you can leave your kid watching without worries.
Your advice on sleep should be modified to sleep to as close to high quality as you can. Some people are going to naturally sleep less and some more.

There are other websites that allow you to do a static upload, under a pseudonym. Just have a look on somewhere like reddit for a name of such a site. Another option would be getting in touch with a popular uploader on one of these sites or a torrent tracker and have them upload and seed. If they are a member of a private tracker they may get some sort of reward for seeding, as an incentive.
If you need links between items, which you probably will, you need a graph.

The most agnostic scheme for that I know of is RDF (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework)

IMO, its main advantage over committing to a specific SQL schema is that it can be used to produce PhD’s (yes, it would be cool if the store could figure out that its more efficient by a mile to store first and last names together, or that the typical queries run on the system would be zillion times faster if it had an index on user ID, but over half a century of research hasn’t gotten us there for SQL databases, so making that (somewhat) work if we give the system even less information is serious work)
The problem with offloading that to the camera is that onvif doesn't seem to have a standard way to report this. I only need motion detection on one cam so it wasn't an issue.

But good point, I wonder how Kerberos does this

I'm glad I managed to go behind my parents' back and use the computer and internet when not allowed. Overall, I learned a lot more than I would've by just watching TV or being bored or whatever else those people recommend. I hope the kids whose parents read this stuff manage, too

The article linked to another one with more detail:

> Superagers are more likely to be extroverts and less likely to be neurotic than others, and it looks like their active lifestyles aren't necessarily healthy in other ways. In at least one study, 71 percent of superagers smoked, while 83 percent drank alcohol regularly.

No, it's not untrue. If you optimize a CO2-free grid for minimum cost, you will find that the solutions don't usually involve both renewables (particularly wind) and nuclear. Either nuclear is so expensive it goes to zero, or its so cheap it dominates. There's little synergy between renewables and nuclear.

This also happens in unplanned grids where market forces are being allowed to operate. Renewables, if they are cheaper per kWh than nuclear, drive down the price sufficiently often that nuclear struggles (and with production subsidies, they can drive prices negative, but never mind that). Today, even existing nuclear plants are struggling to make an operating profit in the US.

> And in general, renewables do need a flexible supplement. So what would you suggest?

For the moment, this would be natural gas. If you object to the CO2 from this, consider that to compete against NG CC for BASELOAD in the US, new nuclear would need a CO2 tax of $300/ton or more (see below for quote and link). For new nuclear to compete against NG to cover renewable intermittency, the CO2 tax would have to be much higher, perhaps $1000/ton or more, depending on the fraction of time the NG generators are needed. This is a ludicrously high CO2 tax, and shows how far out of contention new nuclear plants would be.

In the future, this last resort generation could be replaced with something like hydrogen (either produced from NG by SMR with CO2 capture, or from renewable energy by electrolysis.) And it would still be cheaper than new nuclear.

> Gas is extremely expensive to run,

No. Quote from Physics Today (Crane was the president of Exelon):

https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT.3.4088

“The cost of new nuclear is prohibitive for us to be investing in,” says Crane. Exelon considered building two new reactors in Texas in 2005, he says, when gas prices were $8/MMBtu and were projected to rise to $13/MMBtu. At that price, the project would have been viable with a CO2 tax of $25 per ton. “We’re sitting here trading 2019 gas at $2.90 per MMBtu,” he says; for new nuclear power to be competitive at that price, a CO2 tax “would be $300–$400.” Exelon currently is placing its bets instead on advances in energy storage and carbon sequestration technologies.

(Since then, Exelon has announced they want to spin off all their nuclear generating assets.)

> More pumped hydro is impossible to build due to environmental regs, NIMBY and geography.

More pumped hydro ON EXISTING RIVERS is geographically constrained, but off-river PHES much less so. It has vast potential in most parts of the world, especially when coupled with long distance transmission.
> when science protects us

I am not sure how much this "science" that seem to be afraid of data, be able to "protect" us.

>https://www.osha.gov/coronavirus/faqs#worker

>OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers’ vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904’s recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency’s position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.

The VAERS system is another thing that seem to suggest that the "science" is really not interested in collecting the data. Completely unreliable voluntary reporting which no measures to ensure that every event is reported.

A vaccine under EUA deployed world wide appear to be a huge opportunity to collect safety related data. But somehow this "scientific" community appear to be not interested in ensuring that it is of the required quality.

The covid vaccines are not even in the list of Vaccines for the AEFI events are reportable by law. All in the name of "disincentivizing population" I am sure..

As a community, we should outright reject "science" that is not interested in collecting any and all relevant data.
This argument is boring. Like that pushy salesmen trying to tell you the product has the feature you want, but it doesn't.

Much ado about nothing. We're adults and tech literate people and we can juggle more than one conflicting identifier in our heads considering we deal with stuff like C++ routinely.

If the project is technically good and they market it well, people will get used to the name and learn to distinguish between this and the auth protocol.
I didn't read the article, and I agree with the premise, but don't get carried away. Ofcourse piracy _can_ detract from purchases. Pornography was a massive pay-for-content industry that was pretty much entirely decimated by the rise of tube sites.

Yeah Stock Android might not be that privacy friendly, but it being opensourced means I can use something like AOSP if I so may desire and sideload all apps I need. For me, control over my devices is more important. I do not want to trust the words of a random company.

Ofcourse there are a few issues with this approach, it reduces the security of the device (Unlocked firmware), Some apps depend on Google Play services and will refuse to run, (usually it's the games depending on Google Play Games). And using any Google Service (gmail, youtube) requires me to install google play services. (Which honestly defeats the whole prupose).
Apple's ecosystem is quite "nice" and just works out of the box and they have shown themselves to be trustworthy in the past. I just don't want to be locked to their ecosystem.
Firefox still way better for power users, with the amount of plugins and customization available

The gene allowing some people to sleep less is exceedingly rare. The vast majority need between 7-8 hours sleep.

And for most people sleep quality improves as you sleep longer. “Sleep only high quality” is not really actionable advice unless someone is taking sleeping pills or drinking before bed or actively doing something to impair sleep quality.

I guess they try to sell the "our party cares about the environment" to win (i.e. lie to) voters, but at the same time they care about their industries, and old emission standards are easier to comply to. I can imagine they know research for better emissions is hard, but building cars to antiquated standards is easy and can keep more people employed...

A bit like Angela Merkel, after many years of not wanting to, suddenly agreeing to a timeline to shut down German nuclear power plants a few days after Fukushima and a few days before a state election (her stunt didn't help, the Greens still won a majority of the votes).

> Is there a way I can give away my novels as "pirated ebooks" to a German audience without having to seed a torrent and without making this easily traceable back to me as the author?

The big torrent alternative in the German warez scene are direct downloads from filehosters. Which means there is no real "central place" where you can just put it for widespread exposure because it's a whole bunch of different portals/forums with individual uploads.

There's a couple of well known bigger forums, like Gulli, Boerse or Bloodsuckerz, and countless "blog style" ones often specialized on certain media, those can be found on the Raidrush Toplist.

So in practice you would need to sign up to a whole lot of places and post the links to your filehosted books there.
COVID was a possibility and if that was the case, I wanted to make sure he had medical attention.

I couldn't ask him if his taste has diminished. All I knew was he was having sever upper respiratory issues.
It will take significant amount of effort to curate and go through such articles/resources. If I can also get paid for it, it would be better(than not getting paid).

But you've reminded me that it's possible to not charge and use sponsorship to earn revenue. I prefer doing that :) (Win-win for everyone)

For the record, changing country on Spotify is fairly easy. You need to cancel your subscription and wait for your account to be a free one, then change your country and restart a new subscription.

You don’t lose anything because free accounts keep the same data.
FYI the flight has been delayed 1.5 hours due to weather early this morning delaying the rollout. New takeoff time is 8:30 local, 7:30 pacific. (I'm here)
okay cool. Thanks !
1644 is the number listed in the report
That’s a separate issue. The paper is concerned with the data structure not having gotchas (i.e. it is performant across a wide, continuous range of configuration and input values) whereas nn3 is concerned about personally understanding the design of the data structure.
From watching the documentary linked in another comment, a big part of the JWST’s potential is its deep-infrared sensitivity, which in turn requires very cold temperatures and exquisite shielding, and why it will be literally 1 million miles from Earth. I don’t think you can fake that with computation.
Even channels with advertising here are nothing compared to what US readers are probably used to/imagining.
Thanks for the heads-up, I had factored that into the UTC launch time already.

Enjoy the show!
TV? hell naw! plex with reviewed content and timer? hell yea.
Probably because it's not really all that much effort (nor money) to toss a simple satire page like this one up on the web. Easier now than it's ever been, honestly.
We only let our children have screen time on non-school nights, so Friday from about 6 to 8, and Saturday from 4 to 8. They almost always choose computers over tv. Minecraft, digital art, etc. The rest of the time they play or read. The once a week trip to the library as become a core part of our routine.
Edit: these restrictions include summer. Same times.
Plus no ads on Plex
I think you know the answer...
Do go in on Monday, if you don’t you are unable to defend yourself. Do just close your computer right now and go to bed. If a manager has unreasonable deadlines and other staff are not doing their jobs that’s on them, and it. Absolutely is NOT your responsibility to destroy your work life balance to make up for other peoples failures. If you don’t have a major stake in this project/company you should absolutely not be overworking and stressing yourself out this much, this will lead to burnout. If you feel like you are being strongly pressured into overworking yourself like this regularly it’s time to start looking for another position.
Well, it seems everybody is different. Personally I bought a lot of games I pirated when I was younger and I'm glad because I wouldn't have bought them in the first place If I hadn't the option of trying it beforehand
> So while I don't count myself as a winner in this, it does seem to be a substantial win to not be one of the losers.

Same. My wife and I actually do live in one of the big cities hit hard by the pandemic (NYC), but ended up having some of the initial restrictions work to my advantage. For instance, having a limited selection of restaurants (order-in only) led to us cooking more and calorie counting again, and we've lost 30 pounds each. We also bought an apartment once the initial hard restrictions were lifted last summer, and I suspect the extreme lack of buyers made us look a lot more attractive to sellers than we would have in 2019 (NYC co-ops are infamous for requiring 2 years of mortgage+maintenance fees in liquid which we certainly didn't have after shelling out a 20% down payment). My wife spent the entire year looking for a job after being laid off in January and COVID made that significantly harder, but I think it did help her finally find a fully remote company a year later - her new employer embraced remote work in COVID by allowing employees to move away from their CA and NY office, now she's helping them expand hiring across the entire US and Canada (she's in HR and they don't use a PEO for payroll, its a surprisingly non-trivial effort). We both prefer working remotely so this was important for us.

Overall I feel good how things ended up for us but considering how terrible its been for huge portions of the world its feels uncomfortable to call it "winning lockdown".
Japan and Japanese media is actually a very interesting example, because even pre-internet there were people xeroxing translated manga scripts and trading fansub tapes samizdat-style to spread Japanese popular culture to the US. Of course, manga/anime/JPTV have vastly greater presences in the Western world today (both legal and illegal, like scanlations). The internet was just a new and particularly effective conduit for pre-existing curiosity in a culture beyond the borders of the West.
Me too. Who knows if I ever would’ve learned how much I love computers if I wasn’t tinkering with the family computer trying to get a torrented game installed (my parents never paid for games because they thought they were bad).
When changing country on iCloud, did you lose all your purchases (apart from subscriptions)? Like books, apps, movies…
No, if you straight up do "fun things" (watch movies or play video games) then you won't be motivated to work even when it's time for "boreout" to end. So you must do "work safe" activities that wont get you fired all day which is worse than doing boring work that lets you feel useful.
I love the idea of this but the implementation is just woeful. I've tried it with various browsers on a few different computers and I've never been able to even create a new document. The interface is painfully slow and crashes continually with "script error" which has the additional fun of logging me out, every time it happens.
These were the most telling statement in that article for me: "[The] sexual and cultural revolution that began in 1963 or 1968... has ended and, as all revolutionaries must do after storming the Bastille, they have built Bastilles of their own... No one would satirise the transgender movement today; no one would dare point fun at BLM, or Pride month; no one would dare joke about George Floyd"

I'd like to think that what's preventing us from satirizing these things is just the "too soon" effect, rather than a sacredness.

Those were students. That's like spending time with computer science students, then saying only 2/3 of software engineers are even aware that git exists.

Most graphic designers I've met have been more adept with keyboard shortcuts than I am. It's impossible to be productive in Photoshop or Illustrator just using a mouse to click on menu items. Beyond copy+pasting, I use barely any shortcuts, I generally use zsh and type commands instead. But in media workstation software, keyboard shortcuts are the equivalent to unix commands for programmers.
Thanks, that I did not know.

Well, I’m focusing in actual important things, like the continuous decrease of purchasing power of Spaniards.

The war was more than 80 years ago, the Franco regime ended 46 years ago, and there was an amnesty/treaty with all political parties to work for the country forward.

Now, about the monuments/homages: There are also monuments for the Che Guevara, La pasionaria, Carrillo (remember Paracuellos war crimes), etc. would these monuments be banned also?

Largo Caballero made some controversial statements another opting for Revolution instead of democracy:

> “La clase obrera debe adueñarse del poder político, convencida de que la democracia es incompatible con el socialismo, y como el que tiene el poder no ha de entregarlo voluntariamente, por eso hay que ir a la Revolución“

Should we ban all parties that have him as an important figure?

No, Franco regime symbols have already been removed, his tomb removed, and the democracy has rooted in Spain for almost half a century, why don’t left-leaning parties solve actual people problems?
Everything I've bought from an Instagram ad was easily-breakable, not as described, and shipped from an Asian country (to the US), or never arrived.
>I’d be happy to work on personal projects, learning new things, working a second job, etc

You aren't allowed to do these things on your first job.

What you are suggesting is almost equivalent to squatting in an apartment for free and then renting it out to someone else to earn money.
Wow! Thank you! That's exactly the kind of resource I was looking for. It says what happens over time to the food and what signs indicate that it's no longer safe instead of just past its prime. I'm certainly going to be referencing that site from now on.
Actually using real products adds verisimilitude to media. I think of movies like "Back to the Future" where the branded products bring back memories.

Right now I am doing "corporate identity" for a shared kitchen and I'm using product logos (e.g. "Dawn", "Cuisinart") as much as I can because I think it will improve compliance with instructions. (Not getting paid by them though)
Changing the name would be excellent marketing.

The premise of this whole article is that kids learn what you put in front of them, which I disagree with. They learn what they pursue.

I have been enjoying a technology arms race with my daughter. She likes full youtube for content that is still benign, but beyond what's available on the kids platform. She started finding ways to circumvent our time limitations at age 3 using Siri and Safari to bypass screen time, and later concealed that she had worked out my unlock password on mine. I eventually make another move to defeat, but I am secretly proud of her and now I'm simply placing another level in the big game.
I use Instagram in a browser different than the one I use with my personal details, and it's completely anonymized. I did this before Facebook bought it. I've never posted my face or other personal details there. Nobody I follow seems to care, and only some know it's me. I always thought Instagram was for pretty pictures, when people misuse it as a social network.
