This is ridiculous. New developers will learn a completely different skill path from what we learned, and they will get where we are faster than we did.

Student loan forgiveness yes, paid for by the schools that let people rack up debt for low value degrees. In the olden days student loans qualification depended on the students degree program and grades, and there wasn’t any repayment probl

Watched the video - thanks Ioannu is saying the paper's idea for training a dense network doesn't work in non-toy networks (the paper's method for selecting promising weights early doesn't improve the network) BUT the te

TCP Reno Vegas etc all addressed congestion control with various ideas, but were all doomed by the academic downward spiral pissing contest. QUIC is real and works great, and they sidestepped all of that and just built it and tuned it and h

For serving web pages, TCP is only used by legacy servers. The fundamental congestion control issue is that after you drop to half, the window is increased by /one packet/, which for all sorts of artificial reasons is about 1500 b

False. It really was just intended to coalesce packets. I’ll be nice and not attack the feature. But making that the default is one of the biggest mistakes in the history of networking (second only to TCP’s boneheaded congestion control tha

Normalizing for language and culture seem like the hardest parts of any global survey. How are the translations done of that one question and are there any cultural implications?

Speak for your own network. On a densely interconnected datacenter network there would be no appreciable jitter. 4 x 10s heartbeats sounds like an incredibly conservative decision by whoever chose the default, and I cant imagine any critica

> When a system uses very short intervals, such as sending heartbeats every 500 milliseconds 500 milliseconds is a very long interval, on a CPU timescale. Funny how we all tend to judge intervals based on human timescales Of course the b

Language interoperability is a material question. Outputting Javascript, Python, C++ vs assembler/machine code have very different implications for calls to/from other languages Is JIT also meaningless? But ultimately if you don’

How much are you ready to bet against Elon's plans to scale up Starlink v3 for GPUs? Starlink v3 already has a 60M length solar array, so they're already solving dissipation for that size. Assume linear scaling to many thousands o

Then the brave thing is you accept the grant and let them take it to court. Get a court ruling against them, which in our common law system establishes case law The administration can try to press charges, but they don’t control the courts
