Or they are just much more intelligent these days and are attuned to what they want. Do you want to spend months at a time in a soda can that can explode at any moment surrounded by vacuum? Or be a modern day bard?

That’s a good question. My US centric view: The open market faction in the US would love to see those trade barriers lowered. Money is expensive to move. From an ofac perspective, an immutable ledger would allow investigators to trace the

The main difference is that self generated private keys are the bank account. Someone earning dollars in the US, can send libra to their folks in Ukraine, and they can spend them without conversion fees.

Not at the cost of forcing people to stay with the wrong partner. What’s the likelihood of a person who is unlikely to engage in premarital sex to stay with a bad partner? Seems like set has large overlap because religion would be a common

According to the post, it’s only 2x cheaper. So for the same dollars spent, I would cut my time from 48 hours to 24. But, TPUs are not standard, can’t be used for any other usecase. So those savings might not actually be realizable when ev

My personal experience with crnns and lstms was that cutting training latency from 48 hours to 24 hours didn’t make a difference in our progress. Some architectures took 4x longer to run. 48 to 1 hour would have allowed us to run a few exp

What’s the perf per watt difference? It’s hard to compare perf per dollar. Your electricity costs and GPU costs maybe vastly different from mine.

Results are disappointing. 2x speed up over general purpose GPUs doesn’t justify a whole new hardware architecture.

No matter how the law is written, if the result is that the exceptions only apply to French companies and not to the US, it’s bullshit :). They could pick arbitrary ways to bisect the set until they get the desired result.

If it’s IO, then the inputs and outputs can be tracked as files. If it’s not IO, and just a pure computation it can be reproduced on demand.

Why wouldn’t you use make? Side-effect tracking and cleanup is the job of a build tool.

That’s funny. I only write tests to prove that the program does what it’s meant to do and not to find bugs. The goal is to prevent a future programmer, including myself, from breaking any of the declared properties.

Yes, the concern is that in a direct democracy demagogues will be elected far more often and with far more extreme views. Bicameral parliamentary systems are even less prone to this since the prime minister is elected by the ruling coalitio

I am quite happy with rust these days. But it still lacks great ‘no allocation’ libraries.

Bpf can handle 60 million packets per second, adding a user/kernel context switch will kill that by a factor of 1000x. So while your code may not care about it, there are definitely low latency applications where milliseconds equate t

Except the reporting requirement are cost prohibitive for a company that is seeking seed funding to file an s-1 or a reg—a even. So us, poor unsophisticated plebs, can’t invest in anything until post IPO. Which seems to be way after the ma

The shmublic investors don’t have access to seed/series-A deals. I personally feel that rando cryptocurrency vs Uber post IPO has similar alpha, but obviously quite different beta.

I just moved, and I have access to 1gbps fiber at my home for $50 a month vs a severely crippled 100mbps from comcast for $120 a month two blocks away. So land internet is not free, and 1gbps is rare. Qcom charges Apple $14 bucks for the m

They haven’t lost a FRAND case yet. In the ideal world the phone would be like a PC, and you could buy an iPod touch from apple and swap in the qualcomm 5g modem or the intel one. Apple pays qcom $14 bucks for the modem. In the PC world I t

Yep, worked at qcom. I think they should charge what the market could bear, like apple charges consumers :)

A large part of the dispute is due to China not enforcing and codifying its own laws. All US wants is for the laws to be on the books and fairly applied.

If it cost apple less to build improvement into 5G that would have been licensed to everyone they would have done so. Standards require all participants to license at a FRAND rate. If apple developed 5G IP they would have effectively receiv

Qualcomm doesn’t own spectrum either. Apple should be investing in tech, not in cash. It’s crazy to think of tech companies sitting on that much cash. At this rate, apple will have 1T in the bank in 15 years.

Patents don’t last forever, and there are a dozen ways to solve each problem. Apple is sitting on 200b in cash. What would be great for consumers if they spent some of their cash on 6g networks before they turn into a sovereign wealth fund.

by aey 7y ago
Yea. For sure. Apple should be encouraged to spend their 200b in cash on an alternative instead of lawyers.

by aey 7y ago
Yea. Apple can build its own. There is nothing wrong with them spending their 200b+ in cash on integrated modem tech.
