Was employee number one and prelaunch was convinced my CEO would take any meeting he could just to make work for himself so he could complain about how hard he worked. Things got a lot better post launch when he had more actual work to do,

My first encounter with Bessel functions was from a professor who in his youth had built digital amplifiers -- before dsps could switch at 44k Hertz. (From memory he had a 1k pwm) He did it by predicting the position of the magnet in the sp

Halide is cool, but from when I last looked at it its best at optimizing for cache usage. For my example, there would have still been two round trips, but to L1 instead of something farther. I've compared using GCC intrinsics vs what I

Once the data exceed L3 cache, 4-bit is fastest since the dot product is memory bound: data movement from RAM becomes the bottleneck. The speed-up is up to 6x over the 32-bit version. Large linalg operations are memory bou

It's so annoying that ghost doesn't have basic analytics built in. All I want to know is number of page loads + geo-ip.

How linearly does that scale as you approach the speed of light?

Lol, looks like the Google result of "convert 4C to Fahrenheit". In the authors defence, it isn't their fault the Americans still use Fahrenheit.

Our GDP "growth" is largely because property price inflation is somehow considered economic growth. As an Australian, my conclusion is that Australia has failed to diversify its economy. Money comes in through mining, agriculture,

I literally didn't understand the concept of tolerances until adulthood, which I blame on Lego. I used to wonder how one could possibly build a house, when there weren't slots to piece the frame together.

I think the unfortunate reality is as a new grad entering the startup scene it can take a few failures before knowing what to look for. I think I’ve gotten moderately lucky on try 3, but no exits yet. My only advice is ask as many people as

Would someone with knowledge care to comment what % of traffic disappears at each update. The last update pushed me over the edge to bing news of all things. Worse aggregation with a UI only as bad as gnews minus two major updates.

The money aspect is interesting from a want-to-be founder's perspective. Suppose you know you want to do a startup, but want to gain some "experience". You could A) Work at FANG for 4 years, put away 200-300k, blow most o

I'd like more context on this. Is there anyway to hit a 200k euro salary as a top 5% software dev? If I moved to Europe, and offered a 200k salary, would I be able to attract bay area level software devs? What about a 100k salary?

Likely a pilot program, the cost of administering the program provably exceeds the 125k itself. I've just received my Danish startup visa. It may seem that every European country is trying to hand these out like candy, but my batch was

I'm looking at moving to Denmark, and as part of my reading I was surprised to learn that public sector employment accounts for 40% of full time jobs. For all the bad rap it gets about being inefficient, some things really ought to be

Well you’re looking at it. If you think of the puzzle only tiling in one direction, the flip needed to move the piece from one side to the other is analogous to the twist in the Möbius strip. Because it works in two dimensions, you have a K

Good point, if each email is individually salted as best practice for storing passwords they could not be indexed. However, this would also mean that logging in using an email/username would also require a full scan. More generally, if

I played a little bit with gpgpu on the raspberry pi. I’d imagine it’s relativly primitive compared to whatever shaders are compiled to on modern GPUs, but it was humbling to have to manage things like separate, per core, disjoint register
