Uncorrelated is the key word IMHO. And I wouldn't say it is liquid, but that's a good thing here IMHO too. A lot of asset management is for pensions. This means that long term stability is quite important, and when designing portf

From a glance: it seems like it is more specific for accelerators. Chisel deals in the general way, but Calyx seems to have primitives for wiring systolic arrays for example. If you plan to do an OoO CPU, choose Chisel. If you want to do a

Fun factoid: Chips need to have patterns, even where there is nothing to print! This is because you want the acid etchant to be consumed the same way everywhere. So you choose a random repeating pattern that has the same density as your oth

Apple is #1, but a lot of other fruits are way less known. This is the equivalent of every not-well-thought map visualization being a population density map.

I'd buy that. I'd buy that for interview preparation as well. Maybe 5$ per hour, up to 15$. I wouldn't buy a subscription, only actual consumption of the service. Please consider putting it in online.

Just like tech goes through cycles and everything old is new again (Corba to XML to JSON to gRPC), maybe morals are too on a cycle. In tech the typical time constant is for the young gen to burn and churn. In morals it is a few generations

Seems like the technical risk budget in startup. As a startup is an exercice in exploration vs risk management that has to be successful; it should make a big bet in one dimension, and be really conservative on the rest.

I'm still not decided on AOT vs JIT being the endgame. In theory JIT should be higher performance, because it benefits from statistics taken at actual runtime. Given a smart enough compiler. But as a piece of code matures and gets more

The gains seem to not have been high enough to sustain that project. Nowadays CPUs plan, fuse and reorder so much of micro-code that lower-level languages can sort of be considered virtual as well. But Java and similar languages extract mor
