How the heck do you fit 10 cards into one server??? Super cool btw.

Perhaps a better question ... how long is your situation going to last? Academia offers stability to an extent .. say post tenure. Industry does not imho.

Can u run cuda with egpus? How about cudnn, etc.?

I don't understand why mcDs owes him.

The purchase of github doesn't make immediate financial sense to me. This article posted a reason - to stave off Windows decline. While it is plausible, I still don't see it.

I thought your 15ms comment was correct. It is 16ms motion to photon latency. Why microseconds?

Smart city ... no traffic, affordable houses, public transit

If you make the breach cost infinitely high, how is that not a modern form of slavery?

Err ... not according to Econ 101. A rational producer in a perfectly competitive market supplies just enough to clear the market. When people distort markets with subsidies, etc. the amount produced is more. This can also be in industries with barriers to entry as a large producer might supply more on purpose to drive existing competitors out of business.

I looked into sgx recently and have a question related to your comment. It seems an enclave doesn't make system calls. I was wondering how any io gets done? You mention untrusted ... is that the only way??? Trust zone seems to do it better then?

Tldr for newbie? What is jack all about? I thought android had moved away from dalvik to art in lollipop. In nougot, I thought android was going to use openjdk in some parts. Can anyone knowledgeable shed light?

Are they at least paying you a Bay Area dev salary? Curious if they used retention bonuses with a big cliff? I for one will never take a job with a vesting cliff if I can help it.

I think it is clear that this is precisely what I meant. But thanks for your comment :)

Yes .. in many cases, because they simply cannot afford to have children.

Misleading headline. Does not talk about performance per say. Less customer interest.

Naive question. The platform computing acquisition was fairly large IIRC. I keep seeing workload scheduling pop up in different places. Is this really a large market? I thought scheduling made sense in grid computing/HPC systems. Having trouble seeing the economic value here. Any comments on the market/business side would help this old hacker.

Dumb question .. so you aren't asking for a job at the agency? a Rather asking to be a subcontractor when they get a gig? A bit confused here.

Pepper and Nacl seem to have an uncertain. I read that Google unstaffed some teams. Anyone familiar with what is going on?

I'm very sorry for the common folks in Venezuela. Can anyone shed light on how life goes on in these situations? It seems that basically all ones savings would get wiped out. A reasonable first response for those with cash would be to buy physical assets - property, cows, cars, etc. But why would anyone sell those?

Don't remind me. I got the he Xbox one on "sale" last Black Friday. Really ticked off that they sold hw on sale just before the end. I say the end because I see almost no games supporting it these days.

As a datapoint, it has kept me out of high-end VR completely. I am actually more ticked off at the exclusives. And I'm a geek who buys lots of tech toys. VR is as bad as consumer IoT if you think about it.

Very good point. For IoT widgets and perhaps even wearables, I'd rank things by power, size and cost coming in a bit later. The old way had cost first but people are seeing the light.

Newbie question: why isn't releasing beam source files for an existing popular rtos(e.g. Freertos) an easier path to take? Is the issue posix support by the underlying rtos combined with tool chain headaches?

Interesting comment on being called fat. I'm a bit, shall we say, big boned. And I experienced two odd instances where a Chinese person I barely knew casually remarked how fat I was. It was otherwise a pleasant conversation and had me a bit confused. If a stranger said that to you in America, it would certainly be considered mean.

I've been anti hw problem given it requires no investment of time by the potential employer. If it was a short hw .. say max of an hour or two followed by a discussion of it (where discussion was the interview) I might be okay with it. I'm definitely not okay with the hw being step 1 of the usual shit process.

It used to work that way before Google messed it up. Microsoft was known to have a "difficult" process .. a cakewalk by today's unreasonable standard. Companies didn't try to emulate Microsoft in those days .. I don't know why everyone wanted to copy Google.

The parent is right. A lot of people in Toronto are dabbling in real estate .. especially condos. Some builders are offering a mgmt company which rents for you. In a previous building I was renting in, it was surreal to see people pick their keys from one person and handing it over to the mgmt office people right across. These were crazy priced, super fancy condos.

I just started learning about opencores and various buses (wishbone, axi, etc.) I am surprised many designs say spartan 3 or some vendor specific Fpga. I thought an Fpga is an Fpga. Yet, I see logic analyzers, open source softcores, etc. target specific devices. What gives?

Agreed. It is crazy. I have a strong dev background and got a PhD. I love to learn .. any free time I get, I further my knowledge. Since I don't do it to improve skills, I have freedom to learn whatever I want. For a few months, I was obsessed with semiconductors and MEMS. These days, I love hacking FPGAs. Before that, I was playing with deep learning with torch. Point is .. you do not need to quit your job for learning. Agreed with parent poster .. save cash, attend meet ups/events to find like minded people ... the coding/hacking culture is awesome but it is a treadmill. There will always be new stuff coming out. You need to focus on concepts more than specific software or middleware. Have you heard of "papers we love"?

I'm very curious about Fpga applications. Can you share any details? (Company name, target application, verilog vs vhdl, etc.)
