This is really cool work. What kind of speedup does the GPU give for this kind of workload, e.g how long does a CPU-only implementation take?

I worked remote for 3 years. It was great at first (10ft commute, woo!), but I wouldn't choose to do it long-term. All those relationships I'd made with co-workers slowly withered as the team changed, and by the end we just didn

All of these things are tradeoffs. How much worse of a product would you accept in exchange for repairability? I'm not even sure there's a tradeoff here, since bending a frame of any car is bad news whether or not its one piece.

For sure, but I'm not so sure they would be net-positive for an organization. Plenty of people can't take them in a sustainable way, and if they were given out like beer at happy hour I think a lot of folks would go off the rails

Presumably it's entrenched by convention because it's a successful practice; organizations that do it are in some small way more successful than ones that don't. I doubt that is true for amphetamines. I don't know about

If you can only subtract light the contrast of what you're viewing against the background will always be poor, almost by definition. Also doesn't handle color.

Sometimes it's useful to look at the most extreme version of the problem. So instead of, say, tweaks to H1-B, imagine a world where we did open the borders and gave everyone who wanted one a plane ticket and a US work visa. Economists
