For some people, engagement is indeed a purely positive experience; 2 out of 5 employees reported high engagement and low burnout. For some people, engagement is indeed a purely positive experience; 2 out of 5 employees in our survey reported high engagement and low burnout. That means that companies may be at risk of losing some of their most motivated and hard-working employees not for a lack of engagement, but because of their simultaneous experiences of high stress and burnout symptoms.

SAN FRANCISCO — Alex Lidow has sold semiconductors in China for decades, starting at a company, called International Rectifier, that his father and grandfather founded in the Los Angeles area in 1947. Mr. Lidow is among the semiconductor executives in the United States who have become concerned that the trade war with China — particularly the Trump administration’s ban on selling chips to some prominent Chinese customers — won’t just squeeze current revenue. “In my 40 years in this business, I’ve had friends in China that viewed me as a trusted supplier,” Mr. Lidow said.

In that technical sense, solids, liquids, and gases are all states of matter (as are superconductors, superfluids, and numerous other more exotic phases), while things like life or consciousness or universal computers are not. There are a few common mechanisms: extremizing physical quantities (black holes, Bose-Einstein condensates, superconductors); evolution (cells, higher forms of life, consciousness, many forms of technology, including the iPhone); asking fundamental questions (universal computers, Drexlerian universal constructors, the Utility Fog). So my very rough picture is that a (living) human body is a system with the following properties:

A big part of the reason this question bothers me is because I have two broad (and very different) frameworks for thinking about matter.

His vocation as an academic made my father a direct target of the new regime, and so — like so many other families — we fled Iran and began again in the United States. Two years ago, under the guise of complying with American sanctions against Iran — sanctions that have existed for decades — Apple started removing Iranian apps from its platform. As a serial entrepreneur myself, I identify with these young app developers.

A CRC is a type of code designed to add redundancy to a message in such a way that many transmission errors can be detected. For example, to calculate a trivial 2-bit CRC of the message string 1101 with the generator polynomial 11, we first append 00 to the message to get 110100, then divide to get a quotient of 10011 and a (2-bit) remainder of 01. [Thomas] had collected the IDs and checksums from a number of tags, four of which are shown here:

To execute the search, the reveng program is invoked with the ‘-s’ switch, and in this case, the known size of the CRC,  ‘-w 16’.

With investments in artificial intelligence rising rapidly, especially in China and the United States, two questions arise: Are we heading toward an AI bubble? Funding for AI Startups

Terry Tao’s generals My examiners were Stein, Kleinermann and Rudnick. (Kleinermann came in about five minutes late). Give examples of singular integrals (Calderon-Zygmund).

New primitives that don’t fit into these existing kernels can be compiled into custom kernels using e.g. Tensor Comprehensions or PlaidML, but the current state-of-the-art only really supports small code fragments and frequently doesn’t get close to peak performance (e.g. a factor of 8x slower after a one hour search, for a conventional 2D convolution the authors used as an experiment). It might be hard to performance tune a single non-standard kernel, but full programs must typically evaluate a large graph of kernels. In order to make use of pre-optimised kernels, it’s necessary to use one of a small number of parameter layouts that have been chosen ahead of time to be optimal in isolation.

The first product we launched was analytics and performance monitoring – think “NewRelic for Video” – used by major video streaming companies like PBS, Vimeo, CBS Interactive, and the New York Times to monitor and improve billions of streams. In early 2018, we launched Mux Video, a simple API to video hosting, encoding and streaming – think “Stripe for Video” – which uses our performance data, machine learning, and just-in-time encoding for unmatched video quality and efficiency. Our founders previously started (and sold) Zencoder, an early leader in cloud video technology.
