The Thundering Herd Problem
Let me take you all the way back to April 2018. I was working at a startup that was about to ship a heavily requested new feature. We’d captured interest in the feature by building a waitlist but we were being pretty secretive about the launch date (mainly because we didn’t know when development would […]

Origami Simulator
× SIMULATION SETTINGS This app uses a compliant dynamic simulation method to solve for the geometry of an origami pattern at a given fold angle. The simulation sets up several types of constraints: distance constraints prevent the sheet from stretching or compressing, face constraints prevent the sheet from shearing, and angular constraints fold or flatten […]

Investments in fab by TSMC, Bosch, NXP and Infineon are “good for the European car industry but it’s not enough. It’s not enough at all,” says Wennink, “if you want to get to 20%, you just have to calculate how much you need to build here.” In 2022, Kurt Sievers, CEO of NXP stated: “We […]
Matryoshka Representation Learning
Abstract:Learned representations are a central component in modern ML systems, serving a multitude of downstream tasks. When training such representations, it is often the case that computational and statistical constraints for each downstream task are unknown. In this context rigid, fixed capacity representations can be either over or under-accommodating to the task at hand. This […]
