No, not at all. But I'm past reproductive age, I have more than enough money to retire comfortably, and I have no kids and therefore no skin in whatever game they want to play with the planet. I'll be gone in 30-50 years, poof, l

I am torn between seeing the SJWs as the emerging tea party of the left and minding my own business because I'm an old GenX fart who needs to get out of the way of whatever the millennials are cooking up to remake society in their own

I personally would stick to FP32 across the board for my ML efforts, but we have an entire cottage industry of people coming up with approximations to drive up perf and perf/W, all of which will prove irrelevant until Moore's Law

Because I doubt a corporation would stay aligned with the non-paying customer long-term. Witness GOOG. Compare and contrast with AMZN where the customer is indeed the customer.

It means move the authorization and verification of identity outside of any corporation and make the feed 100% user-controlled. Corporations end up pursuing goals frequently unaligned with the goals of their users because the users have be

ATI demonstrated FP24 was frickin' awesome over a decade and a half ago. it wouldn't surprise me in the least if you went somewhere like that, but it perplexes me as to why you think that's secret sauce in any way long after

All true, but the Eternal September for me came when I lost control of my feed to arbitrary ML algorithms attempting to maximize shareholder value whilst alienating the fewest users. I think someone could recreate early FB on the blockchain

Did you guys ever reveal the internal math model of TPU 2? We know V100 is FP16/FP32 on their tensor cores, when will you follow suit? Edit: sort of, from https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/12/14/google_t

Indeed I did. I like the Bolt. If I lived in a city, I'd probably buy one right now. But sport mode != sports car . Just like Elon Musk != Skunk Musk ...

Yes he did, apparently you didn't read the bit about wanting the torque, which electric cars have from 0-20, and then peter out (except Teslas). For a mainstream electric car, the Bolt is exceptionally good in driving more like a 2009i

And this is why I listen to car people about cars, not techies. I drove a Bolt, I like the Bolt, but it's no sports car. To put this into perspective, do you make your SW/HW decisions based on the suggested content from Twitter&

Sure, that's on par with base $25K Camaros/Mustangs. It's not on par with the sort of Camaro/Mustang one can procure for ~$50k or the same price as a Model 3 that isn't barebones (and I just tried to config one on

by oneshot908 9y ago
I've seen lots of Bolts in Silicon Valley in the past few months, far more than Model 3s in fact. And if you just stuff their seats with memory foam, they're quite comfortable to drive: https://www.youtube.com/wat

I have a lovely internal combustion sportscar that Dom Toretto or his wife (were they real) would enjoy driving. And if anyone can deliver the same performance for $50,000 (or less) I'll transition to electric. GM says 2020, Ford says

Windows 64 got me the datacenter-limiting license, Ubuntu 16.04 as well. No idea how you're getting past this: "2.1.3 Limitations. No Modification or Reverse Engineering. Customer may not modify (except as provided in Secti

Try downloading drivers for a Titan V - it goes to that very specific 2009 license (complete with the absurd exception for the blockchain). This is very specific and targeted at crushing small system vendors who were selling to scientists

Well how many times must this be explained? One pill makes you larger, one pill makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all...

It's not that options are worthless, they're great in fact. It's that the C-suite and the investors usually divvy up the pie amongst themselves and give the rank and file the crumbs that stuck to the pie pan. But let's

by oneshot908 9y ago
At this point, unless you're C-suite, most startups are a really bad bet compared to the BigCos paying out anywhere from $250K-$1M annually depending on your skill set and experience. What's happening now IMO is that the hot talen

I think the way to look at this is as yet another attempt by dying but deep-pocketed industries to buy themselves a few more years of oxygen whilst their executives either retire and GTFO or they desperately pivot to the scary new age of

Pro tip for non-singers like me: Buy one of those karaoke games. Now find out the songs your voice naturally sings reasonably well. Stick to those songs forevermore.

Well, as someone who was once caught in the net of Google's "Let's hire every smart person in the valley and give them menial jobs to keep them off the market" plan of 2011, I wouldn't rule out the "Let's

As another such practitioner, why oh why would we ignore hard-learned unambiguous signals and wisdom because we jumped on the machine learning bandwagon? We embraced machine learning to detect and uncover the things we don't see, not

It's funny, because you're dead-on about this IMO. Individual cities responding individually to the commuter calamity of the South Bay have done a better job than any high-fallutin' 20-year plan could have. As for downtown S

OK, but for me, Brisbane is the Brigadoon of the Bay Area. I don't see why we should have any say whatsoever in how they decide to develop what is theirs. Make it a win/win for them or GTFO IMO.

Sounds to me like they want to max out tax revenue and that's their right. Were you jumping up and down and holding your breath when San Jose built office space and very little housing for exactly the same reason during the first dotc

If Silicon Valley were serious about solving its housing crisis (which it's not), there are solutions. Because while you're concern trolling that Brisbane doesn't feel any sort of civic duty to create some sort of Gibsonian

The residents of Brisbane get to inhale deeply of the fumes generated by nearby enormous mountains of garbage from SF and the bay area on a daily basis. I understand completely why they'd oppose development. Now I suspect if there we

So what you're saying is that the US tax code continues to reward one partner sacrificing their career and penalizes partners who wish to both continue their careers? There's more than one way to make ends meet and I'd be hap

Why don't you ask about this at an all-hands if you're so sure it's never happened or if you're so sure that everything stupid and wrong at large companies like Facebook gets addressed quickly? I'm actually encourag
