Can you please tell us more about how you used Ray for setting up the RL infrastructure?

Does this mean that all the documents (emails from tech executives) that are part of the evidence for a court case will be publicly available?

There is more to BH than how they acquire companies. They also have a track recored of out performing S&P for decades. I doubt if BH alpha is because of their streamlined acquisition process.

Does Tiny have a similar record?

I am fluent in 3 languages. I grew up in India where just about everyone ends up learning at least 3 languages. A month is too short to really pick up a language.

Sailing or outdoorsy stuff like hiking is not my cup of tea. I work out (cardio and weights) to keep myself fit. Not planning on making any changes to my daily routines during the month

Are there specific Graph databases you would recommend? I have played with Neo4j about 5 years ago. Has there been anything revolutionary in this field since then?

Was Cinder influenced by hhvm (Facebook's vm for php/hack)? A project that maintains a list of different JIT implementations for programming languages and compares them would be a great way to see what are the different approaches to implementing JITs and which language features make it hard to implement performant JITs.

As an aside it is great that the Cinder team is specifically calling out that Cinder is not intended to be used outside of FB. Many people have been burned by lack of community around hhvm.

Growing up in India, I had quite a few of these Soviet gems on my bookstand. The only thing I had that originated from the West were a pair of Levi jeans. I was shocked to find out that a system that could make those jeans would win against one that made those books. In the early 2000s I was working in SV and repeated this remark to a Russian colleague. He told me of course the system that made the jeans is superior - he did not get his first pair of jeans till he got to the US and the trousers that he wore in Russia were absolutely horrible when compared to the jeans. Jeans to him were a marvel of engineering. The fact that a system could produce affordable jeans that would last for years, which people could buy whenever they wanted by strolling into their neighborhood shop was a much bigger achievement than state sponsored STEM books

I would tweak the definition of rich provided by Sivers

Having more money than you spend for a year is not enough is not enough to be 'rich'. You want assets where you will always be able to generate more money than you need spend for every year that you live.

I think people read Siver's blog because he got to this tweaked definition of rich. This article does not seem to acknowledge that reality.

The cheapest Volta GPUs I have seen so far cost over 2K for 12GB. Can the GPU provided in this kit be used for training?

The biggest difference between Emacs and any other editor is that instead of thinking about Emacs as an editor you need to think of Emacs as a programable workflow enabler. Using Emacs without learning Elisp is like carrying a bike on your shoulders instead of riding it. Once you get to the place where you can confidently write Elisp to solve your problems, you will miss Emacs deeply when you have to use any other application. You don't need to write extensions and open source them for other people. All you need is the ability to create Elisp code that does what you want exactly how you want it.

The best way of learning Elisp is reading the source code that is distributed with Emacs. Do a git checkout of Emacs and read Elisp code written by Stefan Monnier. Stay away from org-mode elisp - the quality of that code base is highly suspect.

Could you please share your open source project?
