Qt publishes opensource versions a year after the commercial LTS release due to an agreement with KDE. 5.15.8 is the most recent opensource version available at https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.15/5.15.8/single/. 5.15.9 commercial was released in April 2022 and so a 5.15.9 opensource would be expected April 2023.
While true, as a parent of someone with a life-threatening milk allergy, I can tell you that even this seemingly minimal outcome were able to be reproduced with consistency, it would be life-changing for my family. The amount of time, anxiety, emotions, and medical payments involved with a life-threatening allergy is staggering.
It does not seem that they are claiming this is dependable as a "cure", but they are claiming that it is dependable for incidental exposure, which seems to be a corollary from the ongoing treatment including eating a peanut a day.
You and the author are both suggesting that improvements in jobs for women raise the opportunity cost of having large families, yet you are framing it as a refutation.
> Eager execution is an experimental interface to TensorFlow that provides an imperative programming style (à la NumPy). When you enable eager execution, TensorFlow operations execute immediately; you do not execute a pre-constructed graph with Session.run().
Regardless of whether you doubt it, it is an accurate claim. I remember following the development in real time, having used AMQP and ZeroMQ during 2007-2010.
I am not doubting that Pieter Hintjens deserves respect, but the ZeroMQ project was started by Martin. He wrote the vast majority of the code for the first two years, none of which was written by Pieter. Martin's company owned the copyright for the first 2 years, before it was purchased by Pieter's company. The only messages I see on the ZeroMQ mailing list from Pieter in those days are messages of congratulations and enthusiasm. I know Pieter and Martin worked together at iMatix, and that some of the ideas for ZeroMQ spun out of their mutual work with AMQP, but it is fair to say Martin started the ZeroMQ project.
I understand how Pieter presented things, but I think he did so with a revisionist viewpoint. I don't mean to disparage him or downplay the immense impact he had on the later success of ZeroMQ though.
I think they are assuming that some type of social security will be included to make up the difference of that.
If I go to ssa.gov's quick calculator and type information corresponding to a full retirement date this year, and a current salary of $80,000, then SSA estimates $2058 monthly benefits, or about $24,700 a year.
If this person's personal savings was 8 times $80,000, it would be $640,000. If the safe withdrawal rate were 4%, this would be a withdrawal rate of $25,600 a year.
Combining personal savings withdrawals and SSA would yield $50,300 a year, which is probably not far from what a person making $80,000 needs in retirement (62.8% of gross salary). Granted, 4% is maybe only a mostly-safe assumption, and SSA continuing at current levels is probably a mostly-unsafe assumption, but given these assumptions it seems reasonable. I myself would be more comfortable with 10-12x.
Titan Z can do 8 teraflops. From the Top500 List - June 2001, the #1 system at Lawrence Livermore could do R(max) 7 teraflops and R(peak) 12 teraflops.
I now see that I missed the gist of this, which was about mobile performance. The Tegra X1 can do a teraflop, which would put it at #2 on the Top500 List - June 1998.
The difference is exponential. 1 quaternary digit can encode twice as much information as 1 bit, yes. But 2 digits can store 16 possible combinations, whereas 2 bits can store 4.
X digits of binary vs quaternary can represent 2^x vs 4^x possibilities.
Even at 10 digits, that is 2^10 = 1024 vs 4^10 = 1048576.
