Yes to all of this. I'm really surprised they didn't compare costs in this blog post. Ignore the DGX-1 row of their table; the really damning comparison is between the 2nd and 4th rows of the table. With a single 4x GPU server co

Ah, cool, thanks for filling me in on that. The fact that the organizers indeed go to that length/expense to remove the ~0.02s advantage a swimmer would otherwise have due to the speed of sound makes it even stranger to me that they&#

You got me thinking about what other factors could affect the result at various degrees of precision. By my math [1], the time it takes for the sound of the starting buzzer to reach the ears of swimmers at opposite ends of the pool could ac

I have to say, it kind of blows my mind that someone could not see the difference in user experience between a bus and an Uber/Lyft... Even in the absolute best case scenario for the bus, where there's a perfect bus route from whe

In case anyone else has trouble with the "Save as PDF" part, I did it successfully using Firefox on OSX: from the print menu, choose "show details" and change all headers/footers to "--blank--" so there&#x

I really don't understand where GP's comment comes from...you don't even need to look her up; Robin Murphy's byline in the article itself makes it clear that she is a CS professor who directs a center for robotics. How

I definitely recognize the large amount of progress that's being made in ML and AI recently (I'm a computer vision researcher in grad school) and appreciate the amount of it that's being done in the open (at least through pap

You could be right, but somehow I'm skeptical that's really why they were using thousands of global variables. I'd certainly be interested in hearing any more educated takes on Toyota's use of global variables specifica

Exactly -- it sounded to me like they think fully autonomous vehicles are decades away from being created at Audi , and hence would support legislation that prevents them from getting scooped by other companies with the tech chops to make

Smart of Ford to partner with Google on this IMO. Besides Tesla who seem to know what they're doing, I find it pretty strange that most(?) other auto companies seem to be basically going it alone on autonomous driving with an (underst

Why is it that when you go from 2 parents + 1 child -> 2 parents + 2 children, the cost goes up 6K, but when you go from 2 children -> 3 children, the cost goes up 18K? If anything it seems like per-child costs should diminish as you
