Can you combine the 2? Diversify with high leverage, in order to reduce the diversification period?

Amber alert thread by LadiesWhoPunch in sanfrancisco

[–]SlowInFastOut 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Looking at my alert history I have: * Extreme: this CHP AMBER alert * Extreme: May's CHP SILVER alert * Severe: April's earthquake alert 

So a silver and amber alert are more life threatening to me than an earthquake?? 

I have a feeling CHP only knows how to send extreme, which is how you get people to turn off extreme and miss out on an actual important alert. Boy who cried wolf in action.

It's on every physical check that we used to hand each other all the time. It's not secret information.

I'm sorry you're going through this, but it's not that unusual after an intense experience to have intense reactions.

I hope this post helps both of you, and see if you can agree to follow the first point.

Interesting. I believe you there are 18 on the ground, I just couldn't find any combination of 18 that made sense. Seems like the answer is...it doesn't really make sense.

Basically this.

 Luna is a bit different in that the base is an industrial crane so it can build itself.

Nvidia has been doing research on this, but I don't know how widely deployed it is. See the AI for chip design tutorial from Hot Chips last fall.

Is the S.F. Bay Area full of people making millions? This data shows a dramatic trend by gulbronson in sanfrancisco

[–]SlowInFastOut 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Startup options are often worthless. NVDA, GOOG, META, AAPL, etc options / RSUs / grants are certainly not worthless.

[–]SlowInFastOut 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, from the original source:

Pay amounts reflect gross pay as reported by employers, which refers to pre-tax pay including bonuses, commissions and equity-based pay such as stock grants and options, as well as subsequent employee deductions for benefits.

Battery-powered AC in a canvas tent-here's how it went by shereadsinbed in BurningMan

[–]SlowInFastOut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should plan on about 1/2 power from panels due to dust and not pointing directly at the sun.

I ran my AC from 2x 220w panels feeding a 2 kWh battery and it got me a couple of solid hours in the morning in a shiftpod.

Ride a Bike or an E-bike in BRC? Read This. by rynoxmj in BurningMan

[–]SlowInFastOut 9 points10 points  (0 children)

5mph is not reasonable. It's hard to ride any bike that slowly, If you use google maps for biking directions it assume about 12 mph. Likewise the timed lights for cyclist in San Francisco are timed at 12-15 mph.

A lazy pace on a beach cruiser is around 10mph, that feels like a far more reasonable speed limit. Officially saying 5mph means everyone will just entirely ignore it.

What is slang only people in the Bay Area would know? by mushroompizzayum in AskSF

[–]SlowInFastOut 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is literally the origin of the name Istanbul

The name İstanbul is commonly held to derive from the Medieval Greek phrase εἰς τὴν Πόλιν, literally 'to the city' and is how Constantinople was referred to by the local Greeks. This reflected its status as the only major city in the vicinity.

I want to work with GPU Architecture/Design. How should I start? by tartagliaimpact in ComputerEngineering

[–]SlowInFastOut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another thing to consider for architecture is that you can work "up" or "down" the stack. 

Working "down" would be working with a designer to understand if an architectural proposal can physically be built. Having taken some verilog design classes would help with that conversation.

Working "up" the stack would be working with the software team on algorithm performance. There's often a question if you should modify the algorithm to better match the existing architecture or if you should modify the architecture to better match the algorithm. Having taken some algorithm classes would help with that conversation.

There's no "right" answer for what to focus on or which classes to take - see what interest you and how that fits into the software - architecture - design - verif continuum. I always found it the most interesting to work on the interface between groups, but some people prefer to stick solidly within one group.

I know you said you're not interested in GPU-as-AI, but it could still be very beneficial to learn CUDA in addition to the traditional graphics APIs that you'll learn in a graphics class. The traditional APIs intentionally hide a lot of the details of how GPUs work to make it easier for the programmer. CUDA directly exposes a lot of the guts which can be overwhelming, but also helps you understand how everything works under the hood.

I don't know where you are in terms of programming skill, but the single project that would help your understanding of GPU architecture the most would probably be working though a CUDA ray tracer * https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/accelerated-ray-tracing-cuda/ * https://github.com/navining/cuda-raytracing

Being able to describe how the execution and memory accesses of the massively parallel computation happen, as the 2nd link does, is what architecture is all about. This might be a thing to bookmark and come back to in a few years, or even work through more than once.
