I think his break came in when he interviewed Elon Musk. I believe years ago there was a shared AI related project between his team at MIT and Tesla. He would tweet about his work and Elon would reply often. This got him on the radar. His T

I wonder what the author's view of the gaming industry is. On the one hand I agree with him that useless work or work that achieves little shouldn't be done. (in case of gaming a lot of work provides entertainment which could have

It's a static site, no reason for the server not to be able to handle thousands of connections at once with almost no configuration changes with some like Nginx or Apache. Or even a domain which points directly to a S3 bucket. Hope you

I think the takeaway should be that autopilot cannot be generalized. You can't say it's better or worse under all situations than an average driver. Sure there are situations that it's clearly better or worse than an average

You're testing a very specific operation, a loop, in each language to determine its speed, not sure if I'd generalize that. I wonder what it'd look like if you replaced the loop with static print statements that were 1000s of

This is a case where words used are inflammatory on purpose to paint a damning picture of someone. The context in which that phrase is used is much much more nefarious than shunning the SEC over some dumb tweet or hiring a legal firm, which

I find the Redis benchmark suspect. Did you disable write to disk and live snapshotting? In production Redis shouldn’t be configured with write to disk.

by soheil 4y ago
Redis and memcache are in memory key value storage. Writing to disk is not a primary function of those systems, it’s only used for taking snapshots or backup of the data. io_uring isn’t used as the core functionality and thus that alone wou

QM is not something you can pick up in a couple of sessions from your research supervisor. It's probably the hardest concept to grasp in Physics and some argue Physics is the hardest field to study.

Probably biggest change between this recession and all the others is the people's willingness to work in an office. This is all orthogonal to the massive $24T budget deficit, not sure what impact that growing deficit will have, but it&
