How to help an entrenched organization change direction, improve culture and engineering. Not what I expected to do this year, but it’s definitely the main event.

As some have suggested: Switch to being a producer, not a consumer. Build something. And do it again, and then again.

That makes sense. At Twitter, I redesigned the notifications system to explicitly allow for ML based decisions such as this.

I honestly feel that Chapel’s failure to embrace GPUs earlier hindered its adoption. This was the main reason/Hope I moved to it, but it hasn’t materialized.

Chapel language gets you a bit closer to an easier HPC programming model w/o special hardware.

IMO, it’s a balance of entropy with maintainability. The amount of info I a line of java is likely lower than lisp, so the cognitive load is likely lower and the code reviews of diffs are spread out over more lines. Generally less value p

Good article. I will go out on a limb with a couple self-observed behaviors: I'd venture to guess that a good litmus test for knowing if someone is ready to start a business is measuring their ability to deal with conflict. When engin

I once had a manager that would walk through the office and call people in for 1:1s in such a way that I felt like I was at a doctor’s office. The meeting itself was almost the same - you’d say your bit and then he’d have a list of things

For the crypto itself, yes. These colleagues had specialized at university and studied afterwards. For the plumbing portions, it’s mostly excruciatingly detail oriented bit manipulation combined with standard windows kernel / core dev

I worked on the Windows crypto team for a few years. Learned a ton about this area. Most of the work, however, is plumbing. Only a tiny fraction of crypto work is actually on algorithms and that’s mostly performance related.

Generally agree. The spirit of the term “supercomputer” in my case is tied to a) massive respect for Seymour Cray b) achieving something in the realm of late 90s scale according to top500 and d) parallella’s marketing.

By the time the parallella Kickstarter shipped, Nvidia shipped the TK1, which was roughly 10x faster FLOPS-wise than a single parallella board. Cost was similar.

This is Brian. I switched over to Nvidia hardware after building this because of Moore’s law and access to libraries / tools. http://www.parallac.org has some of my machines.

Just an example of what the optimum experience would be if you could process non-verbally and utilize the info. Unclear to me what the relationship is between genius and non-verbal processing - can’t hurt to improve the skill and see how t

Having taken a speed reading course and read guides on it, I’ve akways felt like the main goal was to retrain your mind to process info non-verbally. Once comfortable with that skill, it could be applied to whatever you want. In the extrem
