I think it would be a good experiment to try publishing names of reviewers. j As a grad student, I did a large number of reviews for IEEE journals and conferences. Simply publishing the number of reviews that one did could encourage busy g

The lack of anything at all on the roadmap page [1] and lack of a link to their code repository on a blog post touting their open-source cred [2] does not build confidence. I found their code repo link in the comments here, after not findi

Text on the front page of the NS website* leads me to think you have a fancy compiler: "Intelligent software-defined hardware acceleration". Sounds like Cerebras to my non-expert ears. * https://www.nextsilicon.com

If there's anything to this (not sure there is), I guess it's the author's specific experience. Not sure it's generalizable to the entire Bay Area
