To be clear, this was because of crazy high network egress fees, not the fancy neural network compute.

Like much of Go, it was likely done because it made it easier to recycle Plan 9 code.

POSIX threading is not broken, the Go scheduler just does a bunch of goofy things that aren't really supported. Moving stacks between threads breaks all kinds of things. A more idiomatic approach would be for the compiler to emit prope

The entire interest in this came from the fact that Sony was selling PS3s at a loss, hoping to make up for it with game sales. They were willing to put up with people buying them for compute for a little bit for marketing but it was never g

In 2012 it was expected we'd be at $160/kWh by 2025[1]. Instead we're below that by 2019. I wouldn't be surprised if that $100/kWh by 2023 prediction from the source isn't too conservative. [1] https:/&#x

But these results are about in line with other CTC systems. The original Baidu paper [1] had 7.89% with original Deep Speech and 5.33% with "Deep Speech 2" where they threw more complicated networks at it and added another 11K hou

7.5% WER is much much worse than the state of the art, but it's also important to recognize that LibriSpeech is kind of a ridiculous data set. It's 1000 hours of volunteers reading public domain novels out loud. It's very unl

This could be written about essentially any school subject. Many elementary school teachers don't understand history, science, or writing either.

It's interesting to me how widely followed the "Snow Leopard" myth is. It was a total disaster of a release. There were egregious issues in libdispatch which led to the entire API being re-written at least once. There were al

I really wish we could stop using AI or ML for things in the "predicting social outcomes" category. Naming them more like "computational astrology" or "machine alchemy" would be a better fit.

I don't follow that. The recidivism predictor was supervised. Conversely, AlphaZero is unsupervised and certainly not BS.

To be clear, the "Safety Review" was particularly about ensuring that both companies had a drug-free workplace. One company's CEO smoked weed on camera and the other's did not, so you can imagine why one might get a diff

Hm so those registers which you give your credit cards haven't had security fixes for 4 years and can probably be trivially taken over with wireless zero click attacks. :/

The trouble with Alon is that he starts with the conviction that we should build more fancy trains, and then works backwards comes up with policy arguments so that makes sense.
