This is exactly the same level of mathematical sophistication as in Paul's original post.

This is an incredibly stupid and mendacious line of reasoning. This is just the action of an incredibly rich guy afraid to give up a small sliver of his enormous wealth, and grasping at straws to do so. A simple way to see how silly this ar

The framing of this is so incredibly (almost humorously) ideological. Look at what you've implicitly set up: * the State, contracts, corporations, right-to-work law, at-will employment law, etc - all good, natural parts of the market.

FWIW I think the counterfactual is not asking what the impact is if Australia stopped emitting greenhouse gases directly, but what the impact would be if it stopped producing coal (for both domestic use and export). Given Australia is a sub

For folks interested in a modern reinterpretation of the Iliad, the "War Nerd Iliad" by John Dolan (aka the War Nerd from the Exile) takes an interesting approach - see review in https://blog.lareviewofbooks.org/es

Systems that JIT large amounts of code (HHVM, etc) deal with this trade-off all the time. See e.g. https://qconsf.com/sf2012/dl/qcon-sanfran-2012/slides/KeithA... for an old discussion of some of the iss

FWIW, I believe that the current state of the art for batch-size 1, fp32 inference for ResNet-50 on Intel CPUs is AWS's work in https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.02697 . After the low-hanging fruit outside of model execut

I think the population you're observing here are people who first joined a FAANG before 2014 (since I imagine most people stayed for their initial four-year grant given FANNG stock performance). Facebook (not sure about the others) in
