I like your summary. I'd like to point out, though, that if you want a unified codebase, you might want to have a look at OpenACC. It's still young and you need commercial compilers (PGI, HMPP or Cray), but the capabilities are interesting. I'm doing some tests and comparisons between OpenACC and CUDA right now.
While there are very good points stated on the blog, you also need to consider that unless you are working with the right startup, things can go astray. For example, I have come across startups where goals are short sighted and cost cutting is considered prime rather than building a product.
I love the idea. I currently use do it tomorrow (tomorrow.do) and your problem is that unless I would already have full integration with my tablet and android phone I wouldn't even think about the switch, it's just too inconvenient.

Still I think it will be great for a bunch of people, so who knows maybe I'll be trying the mobile version soon!
Because that's just one more smartphone OS that will never support app development from anything other than their own creator's platform, i.e. Windows and Visual Studio or Mac OS X and Xcode. The world doesn't need this horrible, closed-system, innovation killing, walled gardens crap anymore.
Also, let's not forget that, in cladistics taxonomy (virtually the only one used by scientists in scientific journals), birds are dinosaurs.

Dinosauria (dinosaurs) -> Saurischia (three-pronged hips) -> Theropoda (bipedal saurischians) -> Tetanurae (stiff tails) -> Coelosauria (birds, tyrannosaurs, velociraptors, etc.) -> Maniraptora (hand snatchers) -> Avialae (bird wings) -> Euornithes (bird tails) -> Aves (birds)

These programs I write, I curse them. So clean and faultless, so hideously optimized. My bugs, my passion, so close at hand, yet out of reach, squandered in the face of my boundless talent.

shared memory:
which is reserved for the SM (a bunch of CUDA cores) so that cores in the same block (SM) can share data.
pinned memory: you can disable OS paging in the RAM (since CUDA operates in the driver level)
Very interesting post. Celery is also a good alternative to this..
Haha! I agree!!
It's worth noting that it is common practice for potential large claims capable of sinking a single insurer to be distributed over the wider market.

Other than that, you make a good point, and history bares it out. Insurance companies aren't gamblers, they aren't willing to support minutely-likely but stratospherically-high-cost events, even if they can see high profit margines. Bottom line: they really understand risk.

Note that the $441 billion was just for a small division inside of AIG. The bigger divisions are obviously capable of handling more.
Personal time lost to fixing problems can always be annoying. However, not all debugging situations are like that.

There is something terribly satisfying about digging into a problem on a production system that rears its ugly head once a month (requiring a system to be rebooted), brainstorming, setting up test scenarios, getting the bug reproduced, finding the source of the problem, fixing it, testing it and seeing that it has been nailed! (oh, and equally satisfying is seeing the days of uptime on said machine thereafter measured in 3 digit numbers :-D)

And the problem I have in mind was someone elses code. I still enjoyed every minute of the debugging process.
sometimes I wonder why people post comment like this. I mean does every articles or point of view posted here has to be 100% politically correct, addressed all the little semantic issues and cover all possible counter-arguments?

it's called opinion for a reason. people do think out loud. discuss or dissect it. don't belittle it with snark.
I'm 31 and the one thing I wish I knew was the utter and complete lack of limitations on you as a younger person. Crazy, right? Let me make a metaphor.

Imagine boxing (or MMA if you prefer). Life is like that. Your entire life, you train and train to get ready for your fight in life. You learn the basics. You learn the proper way to throw a punch, dodge, etc. Then you're let out to compete!

But there's a trick no one tells you about. Once you hit 18, you can sign up for any fight you want. Any weight class, any rules, any thing at all.

Now, that said, you have to be able to compete at that level, or else people will be far less likely to ever take you seriously again... But yeah. You can really do ANYTHING. Especially those first few years. Because after that? You'll probably have debt. And then you're fucked until you're about 50.

Had I been more aware of this, I'd have finished a novel far before now (as I've currently not). I'd have printed my own comics, too (I've not). I was a dumb (average) kid, in that I bought into "the way things are done", having been raised that way. I spent far too many years of my life and too much money, trying to do things the way I was taught they were done.

I regret so much, and I never realized it until I hit my late 20s. Eventually it got through my skull that there is rarely a "one way" to do anything worth doing. Just be as capable as possible, and do as well as you can. Most people? They're pretty eager to help.

But remember, those basics are important. You have to know your craft. You won't knock out the champ on a hope and a prayer.

I'm curious to know how it compares to LevelDB (http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/). I'd love to see a detailed comparison between the two. LevelDB is mutable, but is built on top of an immutable key/value map: http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/source/browse/include/level...
Except that it wasn't a lie, as the original article didn't make these claims. Only the HN headline -- which wasn't in the original article -- and this new article contain sensationalised claims ('bogus story', for example).

You could argue that the original was worded to be deliberately confusing, perhaps even implying that the claims were proven, but I certainly didn't find it that way when I read it.

@eLobato - thanks a lot for your feedback.

I really like tomorrow.do and it's an awesome app.

Votodo is a little different from tomorrow.do as it allows you to share your todos with your followers - which makes it really interesting at times.

We are currently beta testing and going to launch apps for iOS & Android very soon.

We are also planning to release an API for our app. Interested developers can reach us at team@votodo.com

Oh you picked a doozie. Apply won't work on macros even if you have first-class macros. Even kernel says, "apply expects an applicative." I spent weeks understanding why. The reason has to do with apply's special status as a dual of eval, and the fact that macros implicitly eval their result in the caller's lexical scope. Here's an example to think about:

(mac foo(a b) `(cons ,a ,b))
(apply foo '(1 (2 3)))
=> (cons 1 (2 3))
=> error: 2 is not a function

Gould is simply different. Great in his own way.
Sadly I was great at making things easy to use, I was great at making new features, I had no problems getting into things like Twiistup and being nominated for the Webware 100, etc... but making money I am not good at. For example I had a two year head start on Basecamp and they are living high on the hog and I am just barely living :) I had to just abandon the crm (I just cut off the signups but all of the old users are on it still using it) and I am going in a new direction.

I wonder what's the likelihood of an actual dinosaur's survival in our current atmosphere. Oxygen levels might just be not high enough.
The "dummies" reasoning seems pretty sound. But I've got two comments on the "costs" which have to be factored in to the "total cost" and decide whether "cheap customers really do cost more":

1) Costs should really be calculated relative to your margins. I.e. I would hazard a guess (due to economies of scale) your cheapest price plan would have higher margins than your larger price plans.

2) The actual cost of support issues - I've found (running xp-dev.com, which mind you, should really not have that many "dummies") that while the cheapest customers do submit more support requests, these requests tend to take much quicker in resolving, than say the larger customers.

So, I think its not as easy as saying "Cheap customers cost more". I think its better to say "cheap customers request more support"

Just a thought ...

Questioning the author's reputation rather than the information itself as the grandparent post does is ad-hominem. The article deals with standard practices in a large industry and it probably wouldn't be hard to obtain confirmation or refutation of any factual claims in it.

The parent post is even more problematic; it's implying that the information in the article is low-quality because it's hosted on a service on which other people host shady software and pornography.

I was under the impression that CUDA is pretty much an nvidia-specific proposition. This is a great shame because it seems there is a bit more activation energy required for opencl projects (AMD's BLAS is great but I don't see it being used anywhere near as widely as Cublas, and there was no Mac support last I checked).

Are there options for getting CUDA going on an AMD/ATI chipset?

That's okay, I'm the only person I know who's talked in support of the idea too. To me a guaranteed minimum income just... Makes sense to me. That's the closest we'll get to each person getting the opportunity to pursue happiness.

I'm way crazy liberal, but if everyone had the ability to take care of themselves, and live as they want, well, we wouldn't need a minimum wage. You're right. (But then, I'd want health treatment to be like police/fire. Something everyone needs, and we're better all paying for.)

So, yeah. The military, police, fire, health, roads, public school to about 10th grade, I guess the post office as we need a way to ensure public notices, and provide a baseline life through these means? I'd good with that. That's the only government I need.

Just about any other social institutions can be done by people living on their GMI and aided by donations.

Getting tired of simple-minded self-help advice in blog form. And this bitter post even doesn't give you any advice.

When doing business you will face negotiation tactics every single day (like the OP described in his post). If you are long enough in business you know how to handle to this and how to counter attack—without having to write a whiny blog post. And if you are a talented developer you have enough options anyway.

I hope you will agree with me that start-ups are generally not like that. On the flip-side, start-ups are a big risk. The deviation from the ideal model happens when there are survival issues. Also, one should be aware that every small/mid-size company is not a start-up. The vision of the core team decides the path.

Ask HN: Website Design Based on Internet Connection Speed
I just got done reading an article that I originally stumbled upon through HN by Stephanie Rieger where she describes her frustration with Camper.com via a slow internet connection where the designer's user of technology triumphed the site's usability. (See article here: http://stephanierieger.com/its-about-the-content-stupid/)

Well, this got me thinking. Would it be possible to load different site designs based on the internet connection speed of the user? Basically something similar to that of the way we utilize certain style sheets (CSS) based on screen size.

P.S. Just as a heads up I am new not only to HN, but the entire programming world. I have intermediate knowledge in HTML & CSS, and I've just started learning JavaScript. If anyone has tips or advice I would love to hear from you!

Respect,
Alex
It's a noble goal, but a little too ambitious for one person to undertake by themselves though isn't it? Why not just start an open source project with the cash and get some developers on board? Use the money to buy tools and hardware needed, then let others help write the format and test.

Robert Graham, aka ErrataRob, is well-known and well-respected in the information security industry.

Although you obviously wouldn't know this just from his Blogspot subdomain (and I agree he should probably just register an actual domain name), his content should also stand on its own merit.

There is a lot of crap code on Github and there are a lot of idiots on Twitter, but you shouldn't discount all users of a service because of the quality of some of its users.

"Regardless - the point I was trying (and clearly failing) to make is that there is nothing illegal regarding the discharge of a firearm."

What? "Discharging a firearm" (shooting) is illegal in almost every situation in urban areas. If you think that you can go shooting at beer cans in, say, Central Park, as long as you make sure to only shoot at a downward angle and with a sand hill behind your targets, you're in for a rude awakening. It is unsafe to shoot in all but the most controlled circumstances (e.g. on a shooting range) in urban environments, and even suburban ones.

This is a military chip. It's used in military applications. I'm not saying that the original article didn't use this to sensationalise 'We JTAG-fuzzed a chip and found an AES key', but to deny that the chip is used in the military is inaccurate.

Good call on the Chinese front, we don't know who generated the key material to block the JTAG.

Incidentally on z/OS systems things that open the system up to external access are sometimes referred to as backdoors, which is what this is. It's a way of accessing the chip, nothing more.
