This article [0] from Nvidia gives a good overview of how mixed precision training works.

Super high level (from section 3):

1. Converting the model to use the float16 data type where possible.
2. Keeping float32 master weights to accumulate per-iteration weight updates.
3. Using loss scaling to preserve small gradient values.

I don't disagree. But it's a moot, not a mute, point.
> A deflationary currency incentives hoarding

Really…

Do people hoard value shares which have predictable returns that beat inflation?

Is most gold or property hoarded, or is it traded? (Either is expected to rise in “value” over time, expected that is by the average person).

I suspect most people try to get the best returns. Hoarding might occur in a depression, but otherwise the concept is questionable?
They make you feel like they're smart but everything is relative. Google cloud is constantly the thrid in the market and significantly leg behind AWS in terms of market share while its CEO was replaced every 2 years so there are definitely smarter people (e.g. AWS engineers) out there.
I can say that while I was interviewing at Amazon not too long ago, during the interview process, Amazon reached out to me. After much deliberation, I took a position with Amazon.
I'm hoping we can convince gas companies to convert into district heating companies. It's still the heating business, and uses pipes and liquids. They could make heat pumps far more efficient by using ground sources of heating and cooling, and maybe even shipping process heat from one building to another.

It would be a it of a shift, but it uses the same core competencies and would allow them to survive.

However I don't think there's a single gas company with management with the vision, innovation, and smarts to make the switch. It would take a new generation of management, that's smarter and more forward looking.

Maybe a shareholder revolt at one could cause a change in management that would pioneer this change... how much does a gas company cost?

NGEN was been around since version 1.0, granted only does dynamic linking and still pings back into the JIT for reflection based code.

Windows 8 introduced MDIL, with Bartok compiler, based on Singularity infrastructure.

Windows 10 introduced .NET Native for UWP scenarios, based on Midori and originally known as Project N.

Mono has always had support for AOT, is used by Xamarin on mobile devices, and is actually what Blazor relies on for WebAssembly AOT.

Then there were projects like CosmOS, having their own IL to native compiler as well.

What Native AOT brings into .NET 7, is finally some consistency in Microsoft offerings for AOT compilation.

there are direct model to model comparisons with sales numbers in the article.

And other manufactures ev sales numbers do not seem to to be off by a factor of 100 too 200 compared to tesla
This article presents several logical fallacies in their analysis which all seem to favor Volvo.
Haha, best chess mod I've seen
Regardless of the truth behind it, this is bogus statistics at its best:

“Look at the following table showing this year of high sales volumes for electric cars next to total deaths by model”

You can’t compare single year sales to total deaths by model. You’ve got cars on that chart that have only been for sale for a single year, and one that has been available for a decade.

10 years of sales and 10 years of miles driven would be expected to have more deaths than 1 year of sales… and that’s before you account for a decade’s worth of potential improvements.

The only way to show a true correlation would be a year by year breakdown of miles driven vs deaths.
Tesla’s delivery numbers are wrong. No sources listed either.
> Look at the following table showing this year of high sales volumes for electric cars next to total deaths by model

But the deaths come from previous years too. There are about 500k Tesla Model 3s on the road vs 12k Ford Mustang Mach Es.
Their flagship product is Google search. But compared to 10-15 years ago, the results are hyper-monetized, full of spam, and frequently just not especially great.

I understand there are many reasons for this (though some of those originate with Google itself), but that's rather the point. The whole reason Google became a thing is because most search engines 20 years ago were full of results that were "hyper-monetized, full of spam, and frequently just not especially great." Then Google came and offered a product that effectively solved this, and quickly became a giant because of it.

Maintaining, let alone evolving, means continuing to work at least as well in the face of changing conditions.
Single year sales numbers, but for some reason the author used total deaths instead of single year deaths.
This post is dangerously innumerate. I don't like Tesla, but I do like math: accidents are a rate, so of course mileage matters.

The table is also pernicious, as it shows cars sold in a year per model vs deaths in a year per model. Almost sounds legit, until you realize "no wait, sold per year doesn't matter, just how many were operating".
It's so much worse than that. Some payroll tax laws vary by SCHOOL DISTRICT of the employee.
You can borrow against most assets whose values are easy to assess and are readily resellable, and which will keep that value, yes. What’s significant here is cheese being in that category. It’s still (like a home or publicly traded stock) the extreme exception, not the rule. I certainly can’t borrow against the cheese in my refrigerator (“fridge”), so it’s weird that you’d trivialize the case of co-op cheese as part of a totally normal trend of being able to borrow against anything.

Most of the stuff in my living room, for example, would not be able to secure a loan, except maybe a pawn loan on undesirable terms.

And it’s really weird to look at credit cards as an example of the same thing. “Your ability to earn and repay” is not generally classified as an “asset” except maybe metaphorically — not a financial/accounting sense.
The PDF is interesting and comprehensible to mortals, has historical quotes from Feynman, Dirac etc agreeing with its thesis.
You can't compare absolute numbers of deaths in a year vs. number of cars sold in that year. Safety is calculated as injuries per miles driven. For death rate, it is usually shown as deaths per 100k miles driven.

Vehicles sold here is also a mis-leading number. It is talking about Volvo's total safety across all models, but then only including sales numbers for it Electric Vehicles. Tesla sells many more EVs than Volvo.

It talks about battery fires in Tesla models, which are rare. But ignores how many fires happen in ICE vehicles, even though the are far more common.

Everything in this article is mis-leading and low quality analysis.

How are any of those CRUD with a different title?
This just seems weird, clearly bias too...

Looking at that chart, not even touching on the other issues, it says the source is tesladeaths.com. Going there, just using the first 10 entires makes the entire data look bad. This database would literally count someone in a Tesla, purposely running over someone as a "Tesla death" which sure I guess but it's obviously disingenuous.

entry #2 and #3 are both DUIs where the driver hits someone else... There's even an entry where a Tesla gets into a fender bender and a BMW hits a "responder" and that gets labeled a Tesla death ???

I'd be shocked if the author even looked at the entries lol.

Overall, this is just ridiculous tbh.
Honestly... this is just comically sloppy lol.
For benefit of others I'm willing to entertain the thought of worthwhile companies existing out there. Its not my goal to discourage anyone seeking fulfillment in their job, just be aware its ok if its just a thing most of us do to put food on the table, there are other more important things in life!

My experience is by fair amount on the opposite spectrum. I worked with a few small to medium sized companies, seen things and know _some_ companies thrive on their employees not understanding how personal income, corporate, dividend tax and write offs work not to mention other gray areas or outright shady practices.

Most people didn't experience what happens during mass layoffs caused by mismanagement, talk about owners and management taking on the business risk, until they don't...

> string-based code execution has been removed from extension APIs.

So will it just be impossible to have extensions like ViolentMonkey, TamperMonkey, GreaseMonkey, Stylus, etc. in Firefox as well as chrome? That wouldn't be as big of a problem if the browser had it's own way to add user scripts, but it doesn't. And making your own extension for little scripts isn't really viable either. Especially since firefox at least requires the extension to be signed to install permanently, and getting it signed is not only a pain, but may be a privacy problem if your userscript has something sensitive in it.

If you take away these extensions please at least give us a native way to add user scripts (and by all means put it behind a big scary warning that you shouldn't use untrusted scripts and you should only do it if you really know what you are doing).
How much does it cost to buy posts like this?

As a more than casual observer of Volvo drivers, it's important to factor in their increased recklessness which possibly follows from a sense of safety ("bloody volvo driver" meme). On the other hand, one often sees people sleeping in the driver's seats of Teslas.

I would guess Volvo drivers are safer because they are either cautious people, awake at the wheel, or driving recklessly which may increase awareness and reaction time compared to a sleeping Tesla driver.

Simply, Volvo drivers tend to have more human agency.
I presume many of the people working on it now were born after its launch and were children when it took the final pale blue dot photograph
I'm completely willing to believe Tesla's safety record is poor, and in fact, I fully expect it to be the case, because Musk sure as fuck doesn't care about the safety of peons, but this article doesn't seem to have any valid data backing the assertion.
Haha- ok. I love how he is nerding out on the dinosaur and next we see his girlfriend. This is not what happens in real life.

This is fine in most cases and works like this since decades.
I however do not want to trust a person or company. I do not want ANY possible explanation how I could have archived it in a different way.
There's about 100k Chevrolet Bolts on US roads though, but the death rate for Model 3s is not 5x, it's 87x.
I mean, you might learn these, but also you might not. Some people just have generally good experiences (and in fact you'd sort of expect someone who has stayed at the company for a decade to be in that bucket).

The chart does not say it is using only electric models. How do you know that? It says per BRAND not per model.

Further down, the article includes deaths relative to sales volume for various EV models. I don't see how it is unfair to compare two EVs fatality rates.

Finally, while miles driven would be great I imagine it's hard to know the average miles driven per model, but there's little reason to think it differs by orders of magnitude.

Well, it's easy to say if you don't live near one.

But if you do, the smell, view, and fact that ground water becomes undrinkable will convern you. Not to mention the space they take, where little life can live on.

In the USA, you have a huge space, including deserts, so a landfill may be out of most human reach. But in France, landfills can't be far, and take the place of either a forest, or accomodations.

We don't have a better way to deal with the huge amount of trash than landfills for now. But reducing the number or size of them would be a nice to have.

I don't mean it should be a priority compared to most urging issues like climate change, but let's not get too comfy with it either.
I'd prefer not to take advice from someone sufficiently enamored with their own capabilities that they assume it's not possible to make a mistake.

It used to be true. But now firefox and chrome are pretty comparable. Although YMMV depending on the specific site. And sometimes it isn't because a chrome is inherently faster, but because a site has been heavily optimized targeting chrome, because chrome has more market share.
fair, the numbers seem to be off according do the numbers i can find. Tesla produced more cars then that by a factor of 2x even in q1 2021

I deeply appreciate this perspective (and the similar perspective in this HN submission). Thanks for sharing -- it feels so permissive for me to hear these kinds of perspectives and just get to work on side stuff.

I feel like I often hang up on if something should be done or if it is something that will be "successful". So it's cool to hear stories where the goal isn't the financial success of X project -- the goal is the journey and it's a bonus if it's financially beneficial.

Thanks again, know that it helped me to read this comment!

> Do people hoard value shares which have predictable returns that beat inflation?

Of course, but those aren't currencies they're equities. That's what they're there for.

> Is most gold or property hoarded, or is it traded? (Either is expected to rise in “value” over time, expected that is by the average person).

Gold is shiny pebbles.

It's fundamentally not worth much more than its industrial value (a tiny fraction of it's market value) and I wouldn't recommend anyone hold that either. It's not productive. It doesn't do anything but sit there, shiny, until consumed for industrial purposes.

> Hoarding might occur in a depression, but otherwise the concept is questionable?

Why would you spend something today if it's going to buy you more tomorrow? You wouldn't, to the extent possible. Thats why we separate short-term intentionally lossy store of value and medium of exchange (currency) and long-term store of value (equity, real estate, etc). We don't combine them due to their antithetical goals. Trying to do so is regressive.
I don't see Volvo or Tesla anywhere on that list

I've been doing this long enough and I know this stuff well.

If you want a simple answer there is one. It's all about the nutritional quality of the food you eat. Everything is down stream from that.

We can go into all the specifics but it doesn't change the fundamentals. Moreover, given just how complex biological systems are you are of course going to have things like gut health play a role but it doesn't change the fact that if you eat the wrong stuff you wreck your gut. This in turn will create more complexities but the solution though is somewhat simple. Stop eating and give your body a break. This is why fasting is super useful.

You talk about going to a bakery to get "real stuff" unfortunately bread is excess carbohydrates (like sugar) no matter what. Unless you're physically active you should probably just cut down on bread altogether. Bakery stuff could be made with love and care which would make it a better quality food but it's not nutritionally important. It's just rocket fuel for your muscles and you don't need a lot of it.
No. I am currently a product manager. The only thing I found interesting in tech is building own projects.
Yea... I imagine sports cars are going to have deaths due to pure reckless drivers in addition to deaths that just happen because they aren't as safe.

I would wager the average Mustang or Corvette driver doesn't drive the same as your average Honda Odyssey driver, lol
It's just science. It doesn't fill anyone's pockets quick enough to be an incentive.
I wouldn’t mind the knock-offs so much if they actually made an effort to replicate the taste and texture.

While you could make rules that the products need to be at least in the same ballpark as what it says on the label, I imagine that would be quite difficult to enforce. It’s much easier to just go by an established local custom and just declare that to be the real deal.
I'm not sure why its confusing. Conservatives have historically proclaimed themselves to be (in their words even if the actions don't always match) in favor of small government, reduced government spending, and the minimal taxation required to keep a small government functioning.

FDR implemented a bunch of large social programs which naturally grow the government, spend more money, and therefore require more tax dollars to fund.

Social programs that redistribute money have long been considered a form of forced charity which many conservatives think is immoral.

Disclaimer: Not taking a side here. In 2022 I don't think we have a "good" political party in the US let alone a perfect one.
Hour 1: 10 KW used for 0.5 hour = 5 KW (10 x 0.5)
Hour 2: 20 KW used for 1 hour = 20 KW (20 x 1)
Hour 3: 0 KW used for 1 hour = 0 KW (0 x 1)
Hour 4: 30 KW used for 0.5 hour = 15 KW (30 x 0.5)
TOTAL = 40 KW used x $10 ⇒ $40

Shouldnt that be 50kw used in total?

> A mentor has advised me not to become "boring" and wants me to try to stay entrepreneurial

Be what you want to be. Do what you want to do.

There is really no other option. You won't have the psychological energy to succeed any other way. Doing what someone else wants leads to a wasted life.

There is no such thing as "being boring." Boring is relative. Subjective. If you do what you want, you won't be boring to you, and that is all that matters.

The advice you've received, in this particular instance, is very toxic. Unless your mentor is saying: Don't do what is boring to you. Then, maybe it's valid.
