No matter what, you'll need to clear a certain volume floor. Masks are expensive [0] especially for nicer process nodes. Once you have a mask set and fab time, it's off to the races. IMO $1M really isn't bad for a simple chip

I might be able to weigh in here. Having these tools as open source and freely available is a huge deal for so many industries. I've worked with these tools at an academic level and now at a startup, and it's amazing the magnitude

A lot of the tooling speed comes from a couple places: 1. The compiler optimizations being applied to code - Things like GADT's are able to be allocated very efficiently - Can generate code that doesn't box at runtime (smash it in

Integrating with 20 year old PLC's and robots is such a pain. Most people we work with have stacks upon stacks of abstraction to keep them safe and give them a sane wrapper for the functionality of the robots. So many labs have homebre

Learning enough to make your own spin on things by mixing and matching parts is really easy once you understand the mathematical underpinnings of things. It's true, many API-level things are opaque about how they work, but their theore

Scala.js scratches that itch for me. I rarely write frontend code, but when I do the extra IDE support given to me by IDEA for Scala.js is pretty great. I'm a full time Scala dev though, so I'm totally biased

A while ago I had to do a complex ML task. It involved tons of time series data that followed a state machine, with very little training data. A useful algorithm to force a series of noisy predictions to follow a state machine is the Viterb

One of my professors, while an extremely competent physicist, chose to focus far more on the "philosophy of teaching". Sanjoy's metaheuristic approach to teaching, tooling it like a hard science with real analysis of the effe

Oh cool. I'm actually in Olin now, and even better, taking his class as I type this post. Art of approximation https://imgur.com/a/OvDzl I'll pass along any cool questions.

I don't understand why they included the butterfly synchronization model at all compared to the lazy update one, the latter is far faster, especially when you have raw access to GPU raw memory.

It's interesting to note just how applicable these talks are to other languages. That database one is something i'd recommend a high schooler listen to for their next hackathon.

Their Youtube channel [0] is excellent, they really grab the attention of someone young about a large variety of topics, and they really make you want to keep watching their videos. [0] https://www.youtube.com/user/Kurz

The point that you make about the "old" paradigm is completely valid, in the fact that we're seeing a shift away from towers with interchangeable components to something like a NUC or mac mini for the "average" user

I'm working on a frontend to manage arbitrary applications, and provide a centralised place to manage them all. It works across machines through ssh, and can provide pretty statistics and logging bits and pieces, but the core of it is

Some of these JetBrains IDE's are really good, and hopefully this will make the mind-numbing task of writing this a lot more pleasant. Here's to their eventual MongoDB support

Its mainly used for the DP floating point that isn't limited artificially. The titan supercomputer at ORNL uses an older version of these. So heavy compute.

IMHO the only reason you'd want this is to save on a PCIe slot when you absolutely need the double-precision floating point operations to run at full speed.

I second the motion to post the unfinished guide! Perhaps on Github where some other HN guys can make it complete for you. Regardless, I think it's a great idea, and would really give insight as to why things work the way they do, in
