Relying on birth control pills and other primarily woman-oriented techniques leaves 100% of the downsides to the woman (from health risks to emotional challenges and beyond). Comparatively, a condom has barely any downside for anyone involved.

I guess citations do not directly translate into products?

If it doesn't count for prevailing wage, does it count for the evaluation of the compensation distribution in the first place (genuine question, I'd assume no for consistency of measurement but yes if e.g. W2-reported compensation is used as reference)?

As far as I understand there is no quick magic algorithm to find them: you train the full architecture as usual the long and hard way, then you identify the right subnetwork and you can retrain faster from the architecture and initialization of just this subnetwork

that was a long time back (2007) though, when the original dev was not willing to integrate contributions

I can totally relate :) The hackery you had to do to have the whole stack work was significant and helped a lot grow sysadmin skills for me, and to build fresh versions and hack up new plugins was a great motivation to learn to code in a team-oriented setting.

Hasn't Ubuntu switched back to Gnome recently? Since ~2009 most of the effort was Canonical-sponsored. The C++ rewrite was quite a dealbreaker in the flow of the project (which was originally written in C). The time it took to get the rewrite up and running and the language switch had a great toll on the motivation of the contributors.

> Most Japanese Tweets are 15 characters while most English Tweets are 34

Doesn't the graph shows that most English tweets are 140 characters instead? The first peak on the English curve is indeed on 34 characters, but it's lower than the 140 peak.

This is actually what I'd expect, but the website feels quite misleading. Advertising that a GPU-based approach can outbeat a CPU for neural nets is not a very strong commercial claim :)

> as fast as CPU TensorFlow on a desktop

> You can learn more about TensorFire and what makes it fast (spoiler: WebGL)

Does this mean that using a GPU in a browser through WebGL yields the same speed than a desktop CPU?
