I assumed for readers of this forum, that answer would be obvious. They want the training data. The fact that it might possibly render a benefit to the user is totally a side effect
I'm rooting for AMD. Their 3D architecture was brilliant for desktops.
Re intel, I've followed this quite a bit. The intel problem is important enough to wipe out their stock, letting 18,000 ppl go and extending their warranty to two years. The PR side of things is truly awful. I wouldn't quote Toms hardware on this... This is a full account https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6vQlvefGxk
I heard recently the Internet in general loves AMD and gives the company a lot of good will even through their failures or their products are somewhat inferior. Maybe it's because they posed themselves as selling products for the people, more competitive prices, support for open source operating systems and so on. Or maybe just because they were the underdog in the industry.
My issue with AMD is the difference between potential and having all the elements to realize that potential. It's on thing to have a great CPU (or GPU) design, but a company has to have all the platform around it working well and ideally at launch, plus developer support so end users can see the maximum benefit out of their purchase. One of the things I've noticed about the Ryzens is that it seems wise to wait a few months for a few AGESA updates to filter through, and another aspect is clamping down on motherboard manufacturers doing their own shenanigans when they want to boost benchmarks versus their competition
AMD CPUs are currently clearly superior to Intel, across the board.
AMD consumer GPUs are substantially inferior to NVidia, and can only sell at such low prices that AMD has trouble getting any margins from them. Hopefully they have better products next gen, NV really needs competition.
AMD CPUs aren't superior in power consumption on a mostly idling desktop, and also not in single-core performance. Use them if high multi-core workloads are your most important use case.
All of this, but also a lot of it is stockholders hyping their bags. Like GameStop, but toned down a bit. It’s tough because it makes it a topic where I can’t take anyone at face value, and I have to default to distrust.
People crap on AMD GPUs all the time. The reason why people praise AMD is that their CPUs are extremely competitive, performance wise. The CPUs are not inferior at all.
Yep. I've been around long enough to have seen Intel repeatedly demonstrate that without anyone pushing them forward they're happy to rest on their laurels. Competition here is better for everyone.
> and you'll get more free time due to other people blocking your work.
It's the single most important part of working in finance. You will have 10 ideas and work you'd want your teams to follow through on and if you are lucky and the stars align, you'll get to work on 3 and 2 of them will be credited to others.
Yep, and I have to finish at 5:30 because that's when Jenkins becomes unusable.
It's fine with me. You'll burn yourself out trying to get everything complete and I like have a fixed point where the system becomes too slow and reminds me to log off. And it's really not my fault, I wouldn't do half the things they want us to do, because it terrible "Enterprise Architecture". But they require it, everything is slow and it's not my fault as I've already made suggestions on how to improve it. But I'm not Enterprise Architecture, so what do I know?
I like it, would prefer a really condensed list instead of this.
Also, why do I get *featured Mandos products if the goal is to create the largest curated directory? Are you trying to get others to pay you to get featured or are you trying to increase your sales?
Featured will enable tool authors to showcase the product to visitors if they decide to do so. I do not think "largest curated directory" and "featured products" are mutually exclusive. Also curation, feature updates and maintenance takes a significant amount of my time and a portion for infra - already have over 50+ tools in queue to review. So featuring will help support the platform.
I instantly thought of this comment when reading Tom's eloquent post. Tom is rightly advocating for more of the rich kids to not settle and keep throwing the darts. Rightly because this is the demographic that VCs want to invest in.

Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something.
Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.
Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about "meritocracy" and the salutary effects of hard work.
Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival. They're the ones working it.

Exactly. 2.5 mil is not peanuts. Yes, you can always get more data. But let's not pretend 2.5 is not sufficient to establish statistical relationships.
Sure, but it's a large sample based on self-report instruments.
This is definitely evidence, but I do share the OP's concerns around controls and would regard this finding as somewhat likely to be biased by the kinds of people who both a) have internet and b) are willing to respond to a really, really long poll.
