I read it as President Reif trying to make this process completely transparent, even when it doesn't reflect well on him. This is something we need more of in our leaders, though I agree that it reads weirdly (partly because it's

Tensil founder here: we take fully trained models, training doesn't happen on our chips. The model architecture is hardened but the parameters can be reprogrammed.

Tensil founder here. We're a little different from the other ASIC companies because we specialize our chips to individual model architectures on demand. Our value prop is that our chips are smaller and cheaper than high end GPUs while

We use Tandem extensively: the killer feature is that during screenshares you get to control a pointer that the other person can see on their screen, which makes pair programming over Tandem feel basically the same as in person. It was espe

To start with just one of your assertions, I don't think "real" direct democracy is likely to reduce inequality. As one example, California Prop 13 was passed by direct ballot and many would point to it as a major _cause_ of

This article tries to ask the question: who should earn more, the workers or the CEO? The problem is that this completely misses the point. When a company faces steep competition, the CEO, like a famous general, is absolutely worth whatever

I highly recommend PYNQ. It comes with a Jupyter interface through an ethernet port that lets you interactively program and execute. Of course, actually designing the RTL overlay is the hard part, and you'll need to get comfortable wit
