Hardly. It's, in fact, booming right now. You know who are the biggest benefactors? Top journals like Nature and all of IEEE. They are paywalled like nobody's business. In fact, they are much worse than Elsevier. But community onl

It's not about reading his work, it's about being an aspirational figure that generations want to follow and emulate. I didn't know any of these about Asimov and he has written some of the stories that I believe is the finest

There are too many problems with this study: > The dieters weren’t strictly monitored or required to stick to a rigid plan I would have expected participants to keep log of what they eat at very least. Further, the body of a person in 20

Any details on how they made this work? How much power does it draw? This could have a tremendous impact. You can basically replace every surface with the programmable display, assuming mass-manufactured cost savings. Walls on your home or

WaveGlow from NVidia released at the end of 2018 is much more impressive: https://nv-adlr.github.io/WaveGlow . Are there any state of the art improvements after this one?

So wouldn't this be like 2.6 TFLOPS? I'm thinking if this can replace NVidia V100s to train something like ImageNet purely on CPU. However, V100 has 100 TFLOPS which seems 50x more than 3990X. Perhaps, I'm reading the specs w

If it makes you feel better, op is not representative of developers in US. He is not even representative of people at Google or other big tech. Most people do work their ass off, some even on weekends and holidays. You are looking at a &quo

There are probably dozens of holes one can drill into this sensationally titled click-baity study. It's surprising what gets through Nature's review system these days.

Object detection in aerial images is a rather booming field with 100s of papers published on the topic and contests going on in top conferences. I wouldn't be surprised if OSM is also doing some of this. In about 5 minutes I could find

Gosh! There are like thousand github repos that do these stuff. This could become a tool to prosecute a lot of unwanted people like DeCSS.

A single car has about 30,000 parts, counting every part down to the smallest screws (according to Toyota). A lot of people don't understand the difference of complexity between a car and software. The analogy between two is quite unfo

Paywalled scientific research, no source code and the reviewers who don't mind calling run off the mill CNNs as "our AI system". How far Nature has fallen these days? How long before Nature is merely PR agency for the big tec

I know these would e controversial but here it goes: 1. You want fabs in a country where IP laws are protected so third parties don't get their designs stolen. 2. Critical tech from a military/trade perspective. 3. Other governmen

I'm doubtful Taiwan has such loose laws that would make up the cost difference.

Transistors, microchips and fabs were all born and thrived in USA. One would think USA would have first mover advantage because this is very very hard to replicate tech but for some reason, fabs got completely eradicated from USA.

by sytelus 7y ago
One thing I don't understand is why fabs got uprooted from USA. There doesn't seem to be cost savings if you try to offshore a multi-billion dollar fab because labor is not the main cost. So fab in China/Taiwan/USA shoul

I can never understand why AMD has not thrown its weight around to get support added in PyTorch and TensorFlow. NVidia is minting money on this by charging 2-4X on data center GPUs and eating theri lunch, dinner and breakfast. AMD could inv

I would not recommend home schooling unless you are trained, certified and experienced as teacher. For one thing, kids will miss out on social interactions that I feel are the 50% of the learning experience. When you have 20 kids class you

This is the one area so ready for disruption by a startup. Mint guys came, quickly cashed out and since then the space has been stagnant.
