It's always unclear whether you're reading crackpot or not especially around the nootropics crowd. In this case the author seems to be a psychiatrist so he should be trustworthy: http://slatestarcodex.com/about&#x2

It's not just the repeated squares algorithm though. The novel part about this post is the application of it. For most languages, if you write a for loop, the compiler is not smart enough to generate anything that runs in sublinear t

Kind of surprised by the amount of hardware and software engineering talent that went into creating this counterfeit. Is it really so lucrative that it beats applying those same talents at a real job?

Did the US ever respond to China's use of the "Great Cannon" on github? Having a nation state actor so publicly attack/censor a small company shouldn't be tolerated.

I wonder if I am doing too little in comparison? I just use incognito and adblock. My impression is that whenever there's a remote code execution bug in chrome it becomes big news (ex: Meltdown/Spectre) so usually I can just trust

Mobile has similar constraints as web (but to a lesser extent) so you will find more resources there. Look into quantizing the weights (e.g., reduce from 32bit per parameter to 8 bits) to reduce model size: https://www.tensorflow

The most practical use not mentioned here is probably to import existing trained models/weights. I can see it being useful for anything that you want to run in real-time (e.g., webcams apps like https://github.com/Model
