It has a usb-c charger and cable... it must have a usb-c or thunderbolt port. Did they cripple it on purpose?

The general idea is to exploit the structure of the system. Use it to pre-initialize connections (e.g. covariates, information flow as layer connections) between different parts, rather than learn it from data: make your network resemble th

I think the next jump will come from neurosymbolic approaches, merging timeseries with a description of what they are about as input. You can use that description for system identification, i.e. build a model of how the "world" wo

If you want to compare the host too, then you should also take into account the TPU host. Each TPUv5p host has 208 vCPU, 448 GB ram, 200 Gbps NIC (for data loading), 4 TPUv5p chips (8 cores). Each TPU chip has 95GB HBM with 2765GBps memory

I have used EVT quite a lot in my work as SRE. It's a pity it is not well known among SRE or production engineers, unless you have a personal interest or math background.

I have thought about this as an employee. I think which point of view you have matters. The problem is that the best interest for the company and for the individual employee do not align in most cases. If someone wants to move fast and inno

To be honest... it doesn't feel like an improvement, more like another way to control users' behavior. It is quite common that if program B competes with program A, program A will go to great lengths to make sharing cumbersome and

IMHO Apple should be able to launch the Vision Pro with functionality/apps to describe some 3d scene in words or pictures/gestures and render it on the fly. https://eckertzhang.github.io/Text2NeRF.github.io/

I don't get it. Why would someone not "like it"? Pattern matching is pretty much mainstream now. Ocaml, while not as common, is widely used. I think it's a great choice for teaching functional programming. The book itsel

Well-known fact: Software architecture often follows team structure, or vice versa. Why? It happens because we organize both our software and our teams based on the amount of coordination needed to succeed. Corollary: if the rates of change

The problem with plans is that they are "linear" thinking tools. Life is chaotic. Picture, for analogy, a Lorenz attractor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmbq82jwHgY our projects gravitate toward a goal, we make

Thanks. I have read that paper! The real world is way more complicated... You can think about each host as its own markov chain: they may be serving, have hidden or diagnosed problems at various confidence levels, be on route to various rem

Thank you all for the replies. I picked this one, but the answer is for every other reply. I didn't know about some of these links. Solving these problems has basically been by job for the past 6 years, for Google's TPU systems an

I am interested in the more hardware management side of HPC (how problems are detected, diagnosed, mapped into actions such as reboot/reinstall/repairs, how these are scheduled and how that is optimized to provide the best level o

I use Withings. Both their watches and their Sleep tracking mat can do sleep quality tracking. I use the latter at home, or their watch when I travel. So I have data no matter where I am. They have an export/takeout form in the app, wh

uhm... we have neural style transfer these days. you can grab the postproduction color grading and even VFX from the low-res one, and apply them to the high-res one. Without messing around with other aspects.

Could looking at NN through the lens of group theory unlock a lot of performance improvements? If they have inner symmetries we are not aware of, you can avoid waste in searching in the wrong directions. If you know that some concepts are n

Is there any interesting theorem or result from l-functions or modular forms that covers this result? I am learning about them and I find the topic fascinating. I discovered them watching https://www.peakmath.org/quest-for-f

I have stopped using Google for searching tech refrences like python.org, and I work at Google (not on search). IMHO it's sad.

I am not the one who suggested Mars, but if we interpret 1984 style as a reference to scifi movies instead of Orwell, it does fit. The original Dune was released that year, and Terminator too...

Well, the article is from 2008. Nowadays, Smart NICs can handle encryption and IOMMU provides (some) security isolation. The sendfile() syscall uses these if available. ( https://people.kernel.org/kuba/tls-1-3-rx-improve

I want to clarify. I think there is a very clear issue in the short term and transition time. It is yet to be seen if we can adapt as a society to the accelerating pace of progress in many fronts. Society, as opposed to technology, can be t

IMHO We'll develop learning paths to speed up adoption of new tools, so new junior people will have the skills from school. Or, we won't need people doing those jobs anymore and they will do something else. There are tons of jobs

AFAIK (pardon my limited knowledge of physical and math terms) the spacetime interval is the conserved unit and it has a lower bound in the Plank-scale limit. In the paragraph above, you assume time is a primitive concept, but it is really
