Seriously Intel is already struggling after buying Nervana. I went to their shing dig and they were working their butt off to wow the developers who were invited. When I asked for hard number they were very mum about that and very evasive.

Elixir have better syntax because it's familiar. I did play around with Erlang a few time. I really love the comma and period. It really nest and group the function patterns together. For Elixir you just have to put them near each othe

No please. I do not want a monopoly in x86. Intel is very greedy in their cpu prices. Their consumer cpu never gave the option of ecc memory and have gimp certain things. AMD was more flexible. Having two company competing will be great for

> averages Hide too much. I had to read the article because of your comment. You're wrong. When competent researchers talk about salary/income they always do median because average doesn't account of skew like Bill Gates.

Most machine learning algorithms that aren't statistical base doesn't give a CI. From a statistical stand point it doesn't give a sense of how good your prediction is. You can get a general sense with just CV. Also your param
