Well... there's several things going wrong here and his perspective only seems to cover some of them.

In the case of a scientific simulation, we can find algorithmic speedups that are "lossy"- an example would be approximations to n-body systems, where you need to calculate n-squared interactions (between all pairs). You can calculate all n-squared interactions which produces teh completely correct result. But since atoms that are far away don't interact strongly (falls off as 1 over r squared or more). So you can maintain a neighborlist- all atoms within a distance R- cheaper than you can calculate n-squared interactions, with some tiny error that is unknown. It's assumed in many cases the errror is neglible and the speedup is huge.

Or you can switch to using a particle-mesh method which involves taking a fourier transform, doing some work in fourier space, then an inverse transform. The results are nlogn, and the error is small (and known). Speedup is signfiicant but takes much, much more computational skill and infrastructure.

Next, the case I'm referring to of an accelerator running a tensorflow job, it's a totally different scenario- here, some random subset of machines will repeatedly return the wrong result- say, for a matrix-vector operation. Maybe garbage numbers, maybe all zero, maybe some infs. When that gets summed into your gradient, it often causes blow-up and the entire job terminates. It's not clear whether it makes sense to make high-performance jobs have to be robust- I see them as special cases where you're working hard to make sure the computing substrate is effectively 100% reliable (by sending/fixing those machines).

Other folks have observed that some amount of small noise injection to the gradient can help training, but the sorts of errors I've seen almost immediately terminate the training job. I don't mind intentional noise addition, but noise due to hardware that is provably, reliably, and repeatedly miscalculating results? Not so much.
This is very exciting but because its from Google this tech won't get out of their quarters.

walking to work easily beats walking to the 7 and then to work, even if it's a short ride. imo NYC as a whole would greatly benefit from spreading office locations more evenly across the boroughs. if nothing else, it would help smooth one-way peaks for the subway.

that said, I don't really understand the desire to put a major hub in LIC from amazon in the first place. it's a nice place, but the recruitment base for a location in LIC must be a lot lower than in midtown or hells kitchen. that would be a dealbreaker for lots of folks that currently commute from JC, Edison, etc.
A large proportion of the time -- I hesitate to say "most" but that is my inclination -- the people making these visualizations have an agenda, and it's usually increased funding for their pet cause. So any time you're looking at this sort of thing especially when they're making broad over-arching generalizations (more "trauma" as a child makes life harder) it's important to read critically, interrogate the validity and bias of sources, and try to see if and where they may be skewing things with visualizations, omitting or lessening the perceived impact of damning data that disagrees with them, and/or making things that agree with their point more prominent than they probably should be. I usually don't even try to figure out what their "pet cause" may be before doing any of that because I don't want my own implicit biases to influence me more than they already do.

It's hard to be sure but I also think several of the folks earning the most as adults came from the "bottom" tier with the most adverse childhood experiences.

So the original proposal was to create 25K jobs over 15+ years, and the fact that they have created "only" 1/5 the jobs in ~5 years with zero subsidies is supposed to be a negative? Especially considering that they are in the middle of layoffs and not even hitting their committed HQ2 goals.
I have a question for OP. On a total energy used perspective how much are you saving per annum on this setup?

I have no doubts about the interest level of it (kudos!) -- and I am curious what the total gains are versus LOE. I have a renovation coming up and I have interests in putting together a lot of custom work but its seems like it would be a labor of love (though it might be end up a project of frustration :) ).
> That’s a wild number of wasted kidneys compared to the supply.

It's not that wild if you dig in a little; not every kidney you take out is going to wind up suitable for transplantation. There's some research into expanding the "suitable" criteria:

https://www.kidney.org/news/kidneys-initially-deemed-unfit-t...

> The study tracked 291 kidneys that became available from 172 deceased donors but were at first rejected for transplant between January 2014 and December of 2016. The kidneys were initially refused using code 830, which indicates that the organ was of low quality or the donor’s age was too advanced. The organs were subsequently procured by Southwest Transplant Alliance in Dallas and transplanted into patients on the kidney waitlist.

https://www.nhsbt.nhs.uk/organ-transplantation/kidney/receiv...

> There may be problems with the donor or organ that mean the kidney has a higher risk of failure than you or your transplant team are willing to accept. You may have problems, such as a recent infection, that makes you unsuitable to undergo transplantation at that time.
Declared unsuitable in 2014 after 30+ years, and I'm just now finding out.

Naively, I don't understand how Redis would be involved at all. Ex. in simplest system set up, we're running O(seconds) network request that relays output from a GPU to a client. Again, I'm a naive mostly mobile dev, but I'd presume the same machine running inference would stream the response JSON.
Ah so this is what we wrote about recently. Good job. Would be interested how you did it for sure :) It was really quick too!

Also, somehow this has a relatively big horizontal margin on mobile.
I'm a pro-market person. However, these are the problems I see, and similar ones are what led us to government fund so much of education.

Independent "purely get to the truth" journalism, that people access, is a bedrock of a well functioning society. It's another form of an educated populace. I think what we're seeing right now is that a smaller and smaller upper middle class people are able to read a variety of sources to stay well informed, while most will now never pay or read informed articles. We all vote, so we should want everyone to have easy access to good sources. Instead, now most people purely consume low quality clickbait "for the ad revenue" drivel, and I see that is a contributor to society's poor understanding of the world around them in general.

So, I see government paying to make quality journalism accessible the same way I see education. We know that removing K-12 public school and state universities would be an unmitigated disaster in many of peoples' abilities to think, though they will still vote.

If the browser loses the private key from IndexedDB, the session token will become invalid because it would no longer be able to be verified on the server. Basically, the user would get logged out in the same way as they would if they cleared out the session token by clearing cookies or LocalStorage.
Revenue is irrelevant, profit is what matters. The vast majority of the cost of any redis service offered is going to be the cost of the underlying compute and disk resources used. In some cases the margins could be close to nonexistent after paying for the resources utilized and the people to manage it, and it's used as a table stakes service that needs to exist for people to want to use your platform.

The vast majority of these projects didn't seem to have a problem with large companies like Netflix using their software, even if it was put on a cloud server, as long as it was managed by Netflix. Now that the management portion is moved to the cloud provider, along with some amount of possible profit, it's a large problem? Was it not a large problem when the companies were using these projects directly? Was there not some assumption and hope these companies would use these projects by the people contributing to them?
Things have gotten much easier in some cases. I have sampled and cleared 2 different songs on tracklib for a reasonable price for me (50 bucks plus 10% royalties). Bedroom producers can now release their music with samples without a crazy clearance fees in many cases. Some samples/artists will still be only available for those with the means to pay 4-5 figure sample fees, but I think that is more the exception than the rule now.
I have friends who work in film and have heard about the way the productions play fast and loose with "local hires" that then get reported as jobs created.

Do you have a source for the claim "Low IQ is associated with worse life outcomes"? I've never seen one.

In fact it is EQ - emotional intelligence - and not IQ that predicts positive life outcomes most strongly.

This is why the most viral AGPL license you can find is the only right license for Open Source. There is no downside: for honest, upstanding developers who want to use your code, there's no problem, because their code was going to be Open Source, too. For the soulless corporations, they'll either not use your code, or contribute back their modifications, a win-win for everyone.

The only losers are people who are engaging with the Open Source community in bad faith, viewing it as something to steal from, rather than participate in.
Keep working in the background and unblock yourself. You should be prepared to do it all by yourself and handle the scenario of rest of your collaborators shelving the paper. You should not be delegating to seniors, that never works. Ideally, I would list things that need to be done. I would have a group meeting and ask what people are excited to do and how I can help them in the parts they are not ready to pick up.

Depends on your ISP. I talk to mine on IRC, they are xkcd806 compatible, they don't do anything to my traffic. They do provide DNS, DOT and DOH servers, or I can use whatever server I want. They're happy to have my host my own DNS server too, as long as it's not configured to allow amplification attacks from random IPs.

They actually had a mea-culpa with them a week or so back

> Our DoH/DoT resolvers were intermittently failing DNS lookups. It seemed to start over the Easter weekend. Our DoT/DoH front ends are DNS aware proxies (dnsdist) to back ends running unbound. dnsdist uses TLS to speak DNS to the back ends. Some of the back ends had failed to reload their TLS certificates after renewal, so although the certificates were valid unbound was still serving old certs and they eventually expired. This resulted in broken back ends in the pool, which dnsdist kept trying to bring back into service. The intermittent nature of the failures meant that it wasn't obvious to users, as clients generally retry silently in the background. Of course our monitoring should have caught this! We've fixed the underlying problem which caused unbound not to pick up the renewed certificates, and we've improved monitoring to catch similar problems should they occur in future.

But it's not that, since the bars are different thicknesses, and that changes the horizontal scale of each bar. These are some of the hardest to interpret charts I've seen in a long time.

The animations are misleading too. When the people run around on the page, you can't tell if they're changing color or not. It gives the impression that every individual in the study ends up being the same color in each scenario, which clearly isn't true.

Last year, valuation multiple for public across tech was about 2.6. That would make this contribution worth less than $11M in valuation.

Considering Redis raised about $350M, $11M valuation is minuscule compared to the expected valuation to make that investment worthwhile.

> Firefox now more proactively blocks downloads from URLs that are considered to be potentially untrustworthy.

I got a hit yesterday from a plugin I wanted to download from blendermarket. After fiddling with Firefox, I downloaded the plugin. It had a binary component that I audited with several anti-virus programs. The rest was Python code, that I also audited. No auditing found anything suspicious. Yes, there is such a thing as malicious binaries in places, but I would like to know more about how Firefox is deciding to flag download links. Is it AI working on generic signals? If Americans can carry guns, while does Firefox doesn’t let me download things? A warning about “our foxy algorithm doesn’t like this egg” would be okay, but blocking the download and forcing the user to jump through hoops is flat disrespectful.
It wasn't a universal default, some games like Quake and Chasm did not have reversed Y by default while others like Duke3D and SkyNET had reversed Y by default. Though all of them had an option to reverse Y, i can't think of an FPS that did not have the option.

And TBH i'm not sure how much defaults played a role back then, they all pretty much had very weird defaults :-P.
Thanks for maintaining benchmarks here. Is there a github repo that might accompany the benchmarks that I could take a look at / reproduce?
That is basically the typical accounting equation without the Equity term [1], so I am confused how you handle opening balances.

I think the problem with that scheme is that without some notion of debit/credit (or equivalently, transactions that sum to 0), you can't easily tell if your transactions are balancing. Somehow you have to encode the information that Assets are a "left hand side positive" account type, and that Income is a "right hand side positive" account type, which is what the "income is negative" stuff is doing. But now you have to remember which side of the equation the account is positive on.

The local community actually wins.

Sure, its easy for people in NYC and San Francisco to say that nobody should compete for any of these jobs. They are going to get them anyway.

But the moment some other location tries to compete for that economic benefit, well now all of a sudden "their" jobs are being stolen by undeserving locations.
I'm not sure if this was a purposeful allusion or not, but I entirely agree that you "can't recall a gift" in exactly the same sense that you can't keep talking on a payphone for a long time when someone is clearly waiting; because, you know, we're living in a society!!

I really don’t get why Redis didn’t keep the same license but with an addendum that companies (where this applies to the ultimate parent company) that have more than some huge amount of revenue (say, $5 billion), can’t resell it. Similar to the license provision for the Llama2 model. That wouldn’t upset people nearly as much, since it would only apply to a handful of hyper scalers, and then Redis the company could cut deals with all of them to make a bit of money. Now they will end up with much less because of these fully open source competitors that were only created because of their foolish license change.
If you start to look at the purpose of government as being to distribute tax dollars to themselves / campaign contributors / friends, rather than to serving the common good and the will of the people, things start to make a lot more sense. I think government can be to solution to a lot of problems IFF that government is actually responsive to voters. Here in the U.S. our political parties and politicians work quite hard to ensure this is not the case.
Yep, this is exactly the point I was getting to.

The stress response is literally the point of working out, you won’t get adaptation without stress.

You can't configure DNS at the modem for AT&T fiber, which is the annoying thing. The setting is there, you can read it - but you can't modify it. I have no idea who is responsible for configuring it, either during install or at the factory. So if you don't want AT&T's garbage, you need to configure it on every device and/or at the router (and don't use their built in router).
