At least single-threaded "large" OpenBLAS GEMM has always been similar to MKL once it has the micro-architecture covered. If there's some problem with the threaded version (which one?), has it been reported like it would be for use in Julia?
Anyway, on AMD, why wouldn't you use AMD's BLAS (just a version of BLIS). That tends to do well multi-threaded, though I'm normally only interested in single-threaded performance. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with MKL, especially when they don't measure and understand the measurements.

It’s amazing that just 10k years ago England was part of continental Europe… I wonder if people back then were worried about climate change too.

Well energy, #1, and you should actually do the napkin math to figure out that it takes an enormous amount of energy to pump 14.8 maf/year (which is the average annual flow of the Colorado) of water uphill. (Hint: Desalination of water for California comes out to far less than petajoules.)

But #2, the Great Lakes are effectively staying level right now. Pumping 14.8 maf/year out of the Great Lakes would eventually deplete those as well.

The Mississippi flow is 73.1 maf/year, but diverting 14.8 maf/year would result in catastrophic devastation to the surrounding ecosystem and other uses of the river.
A friend who’s an archaeology professor told me that’s where the real money is in archaeology. Working as expert to come up with the “nothing historical here - ok to build a mall” report that many municipalities now require.
It’s all static power, not dynamic power, so clock speed is irrelevant. Still it’s an NMOS technology rather than CMOS and that is going to mean big issues for power consumption (there is a reason why CMOS won).
"Only the k8s admins" implies you have a team to manage it.

A lot of things go from not viable to viable if you have the luxury of allocating an entire team to it.
So not the highest, but above average.

It’s cool you know people who make $19.33 but I was referencing average pay.

Target seems to pay $13.68/hour [0] and BestBuy $13.69 [1] so they pay substantially worse than Amazon.

It’s hard to systematically understand working conditions though so hard to compare.

But again, the claim that Amazon employees aren’t paid well seems unsubstantiated.

The Apollo program was about $120B in today's money all said and done. And that's with 1960's manufacturing processes. The complete Gemini program was about $10B.

Blue Origin is up to ~$10B already and hasn't even gone orbital yet.
it makes me think about bullying. the definition of a bully is someone who uses words to cause a physical response in your body, a sympathetic stress response, in a way that doesnt upset anyone else or trigger a correction from the law or the people around. a bully can reach out and touch you, mess around with your sympathetic nervous system and never break any rules -- thats why bullying is so sinister. we have a culture that says words cant hurt you but i dont think thats true. this is an example where nobody did anything. it was just a simple phone call and the swat team never touched this guy. hypothetically no cultural or legal lines were crossed except lying to the police. someone died and they didnt even lock this guy up. they just let him out.

we need to have laws and cultural rules that take into account that words can have a huge impact on your body and cause you real physical harm. thats what the science says about stress. and we also need to take into account that the world is now fully connected and hosting a very large pool of hardcore psychopaths who will happily kill people or ruin them if they can get away with it. we have a culture that is ignoring all these issues. every website out there is super pushy about 2FA via sms when it is intrinsically flawed as is demonstrated time and fucking time again with these sim swaps. it could be very easily avoided either by reform of the phone companies or a dozen other ways. and swatting shouldnt be possible either because simply knocking on the door, calling ahead or any number of things would abort 99% of these cases.

this is not an intrinsic aspect of this modern technological society. it is just a bunch of idiotic oversights for the most part.
Darknet Diaries' latest episode covers this exact same scenario. It includes the story of someone getting harassed by cybercriminals through SIM attacks, pizza deliveries, threatening relatives, threatening SWATing, and other evil behavior.

> who, today, can write or optimize assembly by hand? How about understand the OS internals? How about write a compiler? How about write a library for their fav language? How about actually troubleshoot a misbehaving *nix process? All of these were table stakes at some point in time.

All of these were still table stakes when I graduated from small CS program in 2011. I'm still a bit horrified to discover they apparently weren't table stakes at other places.

I think I have heard this before, Have you defended any bakeries discriminating against gay couples recently? Because it seems like the same reasoning.
I'm fairly certain that half of my 200+ 'untitled text XXX' docs started in TextWrangler, so yes.
Let's see what the court says. I don't see any comment by "truthseeker" in the archive linked from the article so that part is not verifiable, I don't know how unique Disqus names are (there could be multiple "truthseeker"s with different spelling, spacing, etc.), and it's hardly impossible for someone to misuse another person's account. I would not expect anyone intelligent to comment on pending litigation, either, and it's entirely possible that she has literally no idea who on earth anyone else posting as "truthseeker" might be.

The court called her allegations "plausible" (though that's a far cry from "true"), and the article also says that Benton posted an apology: "By revealing such details without making an effort to contact her and seek confirmation and explanation, and otherwise adhere to rigorous reporting methods, the tweets did not meet Nieman’s journalistic standards. I apologize and regret my error in judgment."

So it seems to me that Benton has already admitted failing to validate this information, thus I'm reluctant to take it as given.

That aside, if comments here are any indication, she's screwed even if this isn't true. Half of the posters here appear unaware that she denies making that comment.

Comments like those can be used as evidence of damage to her reputation should she win.
I can hardly believe that it's the absence of Bezos which prevents BO from getting better results. I'm more inclined to think that BO is sufficiently different from Amazon, and while previous life made Bezos well prepared to establish Amazon, BO is different enough to require different approach.
Back in the early 90's I worked with an older gentlemen who was a submariner who told a story about $2 bills. Apparently there were some locals at one port who were constantly complaining about the sailors causing a ruckus, etc.. So to show what a valuable presence the U.S. Navy was, they started paying the sailor exclusively in $2 bills, with the thought being that this would show the local businesses what impact the Navy was having on the local economy. Apparently this was somewhat successful.
The establishment of safety implies long term testing, something that was never done on humans. The 2017 trials of the rabies vaccine was a phase I trial and you cannot gather long term testing data in 3 years. That, along with some influenza testing later on, was the extent of the testing of mRNA vaccine tech. I'm just saying that before we outright dismiss a potentially viable solution because it hasn't been testing on humans let's look at the larger picture.
You elected Senators that don't care about your opinion. Maybe you should be more mad at them and less mad at Amazon who provides millions of people with exactly the goods and services they promise.
I have a dog, and after a lease ended the landlord told me they hired "experts" that said the dog ruined the carpet and i'd have to pay $1000 to replace it. Very hard to argue against without hiring expensive people as well.

To be clear, I don't think my dog caused $1000 in damage to the carpet, but i can understand how any damage may be undesirable and there is no partial carpet replacements.

This was first apartment with dog, so this was an unknown expense.
No, they definitely did. They were an explicit predicate to the conspiracy charge.

I think of all those people with phones that easily break because the phone was not made so well. Or because the children are not so tech savvy to make garabage tech work. Like I can. Having been in a highly stressed environment myself, the emotions that drive them to self harm are all too well known for me.
My last job was a fortune 500 that decided to start using a static analyzer on a 20 year old project. Thousands of false positives and less than ten true positives after hundreds of hours were spent going through it. Now the codebase was definitely a piece of work which is why there were so many false positives, but there were plenty of "the static analyzer is horrible" false positives too.

The tough thing about being attacked in the press with misinformation is it is very difficult to respond in a way that comes across well. As you can see from the Post's publication of the correspondence from NSO (https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2021/07/18/nso...), they did try to inform the media about the technical nuance, but it's hard to get between a journalist and what looks like a great story.

I think a skilled and experienced PR professional could have maybe navigated this successfully, but I've seen plenty of them fail in less difficult contexts than this.
The lawsuit is purely a claim that the doxxing false-positived some posts that didn't originate from the doxxed individual.

The suit itself isn't purporting to make any claims about the ethical or legal dimensions of using the information available to find someone in the way it was used, only that statements were attributed which the plaintiff did not make.
Governments actually make the risky investments. From infrastructure to nukes to the internet to space travel to particle colliders to fusion. The governments that have made these investments are the ones that do the best job of representing the interests of millions of people.

If you take the limit of concentrating wealth, you get a dictatorship. They don't seem to do much. It's hard to believe in democracy and insane wealth concentration at the same time.
Forcing each team to do (or approve!) the update has nothing to do with a shared repository, it's just what limits and requirements you've added on top of your repo(s). A for loop over N repos and an automated commit in each one is perfectly achievable.

If you want consistency so you can automate stuff, require consistency.
You must be living in your own bubble if you think that people are going to accept that statement with zero supporting arguments.
I don't understand this comparison. Corporations are not actually people, they're made up of people, that really do make decisions about things.
Repaired? Sure.

Replaced? Not so sure.
Don't you think it's a bit odd that you have a zillion of dollars to spend? What makes you so much more wealthy than the rest? How did you obtain all this money? Are you sure it is clean money? What makes you so afraid of showing others what really big things you are spending that money on, won't they know anyway? Actually, you're just showing it to the IRS. Do you want to hide something from the IRS? So you are extremely wealthy and don't want the IRS to see on what you spend a zillion of dollars on? I'm pretty sure that Donald Trump would love this as well.

> Temple’s own student news site backed Viola’s right to say what she thought: “We don’t believe she should be removed for her alleged comments, although we condemn them.”

To be fair, I don't know how representative the student news site is of journalism students. But I also don't really think you can make a "right way to live" argument for someone who admitted to and apologized for wrongdoing.
For this information, I recommend viewing Dave Patterson's "50 years of Computer Architecture" talk:

In the abstract sure, but say you're the journalist in question and you discover that a professor at a major university thinks all "muslims are scum" -- is it worse taste to say "too bad about that" and do nothing or take just the barest of steps to ID her and make sure she doesn't have authority over any muslim students without them knowing about her mindset?

GP isn't talking about any particular consequence of phone calls. It's talking about the specific consequence that, because American cops have a tendency to murder people instead of arresting them, you can use them as a hit squad with a simple phone call.

It’s is usually trivial to do international money transfers between banks today. And if that isn’t possible, there are services like Western Union.
It's the other way around? You borrow substantially fewer dollars than the value of the shares you pledged as collateral so that the bank doesn't call the loan if (when) the value of the shares changes.
It’s not like he gets a $207B salary. That’s the worth of the equity that has increased over time.

He literally has a percentage of the company and it’s increased in value.

So he’s not paid such an astronomical salary. His salary was about $1.6M [0] as his fortune comes through his stock in founding the company.

I agree that it would be absurd to pay someone $1B, but it’s odd complaining that his assets shouldn’t appreciate in value.

If you care about only FAANGM companies, leetcode is all that you need. No one at these companies care about your side projects.
I honestly don’t know. I don’t live in a country with stricter gun control. I live in the United States.

I’m not blaming loose gun control alone. There has been an increasing militarization of the police in the US for at least the last 30 years. Is this happening because citizens are buying greater firepower? Are citizens buying greater firepower because the police are militarizing? Are these two things unrelated? Probably not, but I don’t know. My point is that mixing these two things together produces bad outcomes.
No. It has to be in your same profession. So if you are fired from being a software engineer and that's how you make a living, the company cannot prevent you from doing software engineering wholesale. They can't even prevent you from working in their particular vertical, unless it is highly restricted in geographic area.

However, if you're a software engineer for vertical X and that's how you make your living, then they can't prevent you from taking a job in that vertical.

Things change a bit if you know trade secrets.
Recent MKL will generate reasonable code for Zen if you set a magic environment variable, but it was very limited (possibly only sgemm and/or dgemm when I looked). Once you've generated AVX2 with a reasonable block size, you're most of the way there. But why not just use a free BLAS which has been specifically tuned for your AMD CPU (and probably your Intel one)?
By definition it cannot be ALL static power :)
Physics applies. Moving a wire from a high to a low and back will incur losses. They claim 99% static.
Then, assuming just linear scaling, taking this to 64MHz would be (21 * .01 / 29 * 64000 + 21 * .99) = 484mW . Half a watt is a bit much for a 64MHz micro. But still a cool start

Of course I can. Just because he apologized doesn't mean he was wrong.
It does not, yet it’s pretty darn reliable.

Comically, Skype does have an SLA including delivery and sucks at it.

I don’t need delivery guarantee, I just need reliability. If I could even predict when Skype works or doesn’t, I could at least plan around it.

Once more they make it look so easy, every mother and grandmother can do it, and even the 6 year old.

"Take Control Of Your Options"
...sure, until you realize you have absolutely NO CONTROL and you just burned your hard earned money.

Listen - it's not (only) about a product to become successful in the markets, it's about understanding and learning years and years.

Why the heck should people believe, that you simply can make money with in the markets with your phone, while others study for years and go to work every day and never stop learning?

This is just flat out another BS, PERIOD!

I trade options since many years. But I would never ever use my phone to trade options. You can not just choose from a simple strategy and press the GO button...keep dreaming ;-)

You have to know WHEN you have to use WHICH strategy. What do you want to accomplish with a options trade:
- trade directional?
- trade for income?
- trade non directional and profit from a time decay?
- hedge?
- support another stock/futures strategy?
- ...mix the above?

You have to analyze
-what's the current volatility in the market
-volatility in the expiry strikes etc (some expiration give you better prices)
- what's your real risk! ..and how can you fix it when your idea is going down the toilet?

How can you use complementary products with Options (Stocks/Futures/Volatility Products like the VIX).

OK, enough ranting ;-)
...here's my advice for everyone who can stay away from trading by the phone and want it seriously:

1. Go to tastytrade.com - it's the absolute N1 learning resource for Options Trading on the internet. ALL FREE.
2. Apply everything you learn in a DEMO ACCOUNT
3. Do it for AT LEAST 1 year and TRACK your success

Learn to earn, period.

May all the luck be with you.

Heirs in the United States don't pay capital gains tax, but doesn't the estate of the super rich guy have to pay up to 40% in estate taxes on all his assests (with an exemption on the first ~$5M)?

Jeff Bezos is worth $200B. If he died, his estate would have to pay 40% estate tax on $195B in assets (first ~$5M being exempt), which is $78B in tax. That's still a hell of a lot tax. I know there were some loopholes used by the Walton family and other super rich, but isn't the above how it's supposed to work?

Evernote's new plans – about to become even more expensive?
Billings said she first learned of the swatting when a neighbor called and asked why the street was lined with police cars. When Mr. Herring stepped out on the back porch to investigate, police told him to put his hands up and to come to the street.

Unable to disengage a lock on his back fence, Herring was instructed to somehow climb over the fence with his hands up.

“He was starting to get more upset,” Billings recalled. “He said, ‘I’m a 60-year-old fat man and I can’t do that.'”

By that point it should have been clear to anyone in posession of a brain in the vicinity that the guy did not represent a threat and his life could have been saved. It wasn't the case.

Oddly enough, killing a person is also a crime if you didn't want the situation to play like that. It's called manslaughter when you do it, why is it not for the police?
Lot of reasons but mostly because you have to control the platform for most new programming languages to make sense. You want a new language on Apple platforms that isn't Swift? Good luck getting any buy-in from users.

One possible path that might work is if you release your language with a framework that is great for some use case. E.g. if Qt were rewritten in some alternative language maybe that could be successful. But to create anything that polished takes a lot of time and effort, so any company is going to burn through capital just getting to a place where they can determine if they've made something users will actually switch to.
It's rarely illegal in the US. There are exceptions, but as a rule of thumb, US law leans heavily in the direction of "more truth is better." That includes the truth of who someone who'd rather speak pseudonymously actually is.

Exceptions tend to center around safety of the speaker and massive and obvious power imbalances.

For example, in this case the claim on the table is one of the statements attributed to Viola was not made by her. She hasn't sued over the rest of the statements attributed to her and she hasn't sued over the university's right to terminate her.
