I think that there are some half-measures that can help, especially with the in app purchase 30%: 1) Make it required to be transparent about where the pricing goes: All in app purchases must break out Apple's share and the developers

Is there any way to export the data into a standard, editable file format? (Ideally something like markdown...)? I hate to build up a huge library of notes that are only usable in one piece of software...

So, the 1M ventilator project is going to be open-source, and have two stages: A crowdsourced, local 3d printing stage for getting devices into the hands of hospitals as soon as is possible, and a mass-produced stage with a large supply ch

I have mixed feelings about things like airline bailouts. If we do, you essentially reward bad behavior. If you don't, you are likely to induce a massive consolidation within the airline industry, leading to less competition and more a

or a combination of the two: Verizon keeps less stock on hand in general, and they ran out of theirs, while Best Buy had a larger backstock and so could still sell theirs.

Why aren't GPUs better at sparse matrix math? Generally, sparse operations are memory bandwidth limited, but GPUs/TPUs still have much faster memory than CPUs and more memory bandwidth in general (roughly a factor of 4 or so betw

Another python profile that isn't mentioned is pprofile[0]. It is also a statistical profiler with line-level granularity. It doesn't have the memory profiling abilities (that is pretty slick...), but it also doesn't requir

The thing is, it is only enforced in mypy... code that modifies a Final object (pi = 3 for example) later on will run fine.

Yea, this one is really annoying... required a lot of rewriting of code to make some old code work with 3.7.

I want something like this for math. Write an equation, or a definition and see a bunch of different 'versions' of that snippet and where they are being used. This would help so much with understanding concepts and merging fields

Thanks for that paper, I missed it when it came out (is it published? Where?). Also the footnote on the first page cracks me up: "Authors ordered alphabetically. Ben did none of the work."

I'm using Papers 3 right now, and it is fairly buggy. I'm not a fan of switching to a subscription model (especially as I'm not an academic, which makes it too expensive), so I was looking for something else. I like Zotero,

What is your reason for learning "C++ for deep learning"? This will kind of define how to go about doing it. I can think of a few different reasons you might want to do this: * You DL code in another framework is slow, and you h

I think part of the issue is that one of the consequences of killing tons of trees is creating a lot of dry, dead, flamable wood. So the weakest trees get killed off by the beatles, but then all the nearby trees are killed in the resulti

I expect some of these roads haven't seen anyone (person or car) for years. "Roads" don't really seem to die. Once they are mapped, they show up forevermore -- even if no-one is taking them and no-one is checking that t

Meh. Their P/E ratio is roughly 100x the average of the S&P500, which means a growth of 100x in earnings would bring them in line. That is roughly 12 years of their current growth rate, which isn't actually that crazy.
