Missing a comma I think: "Don't, be evil."

Sure, except Texas has far more moderate and right-leaning sorts in their cities than California and Washington to counteract viewpoints like this. Austin is my favorite frickin' city in the US and I had a blast living there. I hope

Yeah sure, but Cannabis fumes from the shared heating system are not. My friends are selling their downtown condos to GTFO to the suburbs.

Hong Kong IMO is 100x more fun than Seattle. Better food, better transit system, better shopping, better everything but air quality IMO.

That's not Amazon's fault. That's the rage of the incompetent lashing out at the most convenient target rather than focusing on bettering their own situation. And yeah, Amholes are a thing, just stay away from the Amholes (

In this age, if a spouse dumps you for overworking to secure the future in these increasingly uncertain times, they probably weren't a keeper anyway. There's a lot of magical thinking going around, and I'm not defending Amaz

I will work for the first tech executive who takes all of this data and uses it as evidence to crush the open office BS once and for all. I remember when Jensen Huang started pitching this folderol as "the office of the future-ture-tu

The best solution (IMO of course) is to stop unquestionably believing anything you see, read, or hear. Why most people choose otherwise has saddened me since childhood. The worst solution is to panic and attempt to ban technology like this

It would be a really interesting acquisition if only Wave Computing had something interesting (2x Word2Vec is boring IMO, c'mon, you can do better than that with custom HW, can't you?). NVidia sucks at low power computing. It&#x

And why wouldn't they be? the fewer abstraction layers between the app and the hardware, the more efficient it will usually be, no?

On the flip side, if your service has craptastic web performance, I just won't use it. The mobile-web currently drives me crazy on phones (doubly so with nonsense like FB blocking access to messages unless I request the desktop site),

How many years have we been hearing this tale? And yet almost every major web site continues to bend over backwards to persuade us to install their battery-killing surveillance system oops I mean mobile app. So the solution now is even mor

NVIDIA was amazing . They drove a bulldozer through the walled garden of HPC Welfare Queens (ask any grad student from the 00s trying to get supercomputer access what GPUs meant to them) and set the stage for the current AI boom. IMO th

NVIDIA's developer-friendliness is mostly in the rearview mirror at this point after they went on a Jihad to destroy vendors selling GeForce-based Compute workstations and jacked up their prices to discourage anyone else from trying to

by oneshot908 8y ago
No, they can't when you can get tens of TFLOPS per GPU for <$1000 that comes with a solid software ecosystem for all the major AI frameworks out of the box. That's the power of the gaming/industrial complex: NVDA can fund

Yes, they've been trying to do that in various forms since the 2009 Fermi GPU GTX 480 which crippled FP64. It never works. But it does create technical debt to work around their nonsense. So unless they cripple CUDA altogether, there

Almost as dead as its original creator, Steve Jobs, who only summoned it into existence because Jensen Huang leaked a deal between AAPL and NVDA ahead of him. OpenCL could have been killer on mobile, and it could have delivered low-power

Never overestimate the intelligence of the decision makers at big bureaucratic tech companies. Also, it is not in the best interest of any of them to be reliant on NVDA or any other single vendor for any critical workload whatsoever. Doubl

by oneshot908 8y ago
It probably won't. For every oppressive move NVDA has made so far, there has been a swarm of low-information technophobe MBA sorts who eat their computational agitprop right up, some of them even fashion themselves as data scientists.

by oneshot908 8y ago
If you're FB, GOOG, AAPL, AMZN, BIDU, etc, this strategy makes sense because much like they have siloed data, they also have siloed computation graphs for which they can lovingly design artisan transistors to make the perfect craft ASI

Let's consider the incident in Seattle a few years back wherein a "sex trafficking" ring run by tech people was busted by the cops. Except there were no actual sex trafficking charges brought against anyone and the whole sti

And note that nothing here is going to stop your duly elected congressperson from booking a 1st class flight to sex slave island. There are 20M+ victims of sex trafficking outside the United States. Some perspective: https://ww

Except that there are acceptable forms of doing so and unacceptable forms of doing so. Compare and contrast gold-digging versus being an escort. Not to mention that there are acceptable places to do (small counties in Nevada) and unaccept

So why make it a felony to do sex-worker outreach then? Because that's what being proposed in California with SB 1204. http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml...

by oneshot908 9y ago
And if you combine this nonsense with the pending SB 1204 in California, just the act of helping someone screen a client (or even handing a streetwalker a condom) will become pandering and therefore a felony punishable by 3+ years in prison

Agreed, they're well-intentioned, but the minute they're OK with a few innocent victims in their pursuit of the guilty, I'm no longer on board.
