I suggest you take inspiration from your competitor's documentation on the topic.
The only potential upside for me is the benefit of tax-loss-harvesting, since I do my own investing and stay in standard ETF index funds. I thought TLH was only relevant for the $3K limit for income deductions, but after reading Frec's great pages [1] [2], I see that it makes a lot of sense when you have a large capital gain in your future like a house or a diversifying stock sale that you want to accumulate losses for. They also answer a number of topics mentioned in the comments here and others not mentioned.
There's a good chance I will end up investing with you, but only with new income. It's not worth liquidating my current capital gains! I can also ensure I don't have cross-account wash sales by keeping my other assets strictly in ETFs or just don't sell anything.
I too hope that you will last long enough to make money in the other ways you are planning. Good luck!
There doesn't exist an addressable transparent LCD yet in mass quantities. But I'm working on a dimmed piece of plastic moving around on a stage. The computer vision is sorta straightforward actually.
Working on a prototype for solving this, basically a smart small shade on the windshield that moves around and covers just the light that falls on the driver's eyes and gets out of the way if not needed. Busy due to FIRST robotics commitments right now, but hope to have a demo/pitch in the next few months!
The stressful steps required to take it to the finish line (product someone can buy on amazon) is demotivating though, if I'm being honest, especially compared to the pretty fun and well-paid job I currently have! Many of the typical motivators like money, prestige, etc don't work for me, I just want to invent useful stuff and to a lesser extent, have it help someone. Planning on iterating on prototypes and keeping the stakes low. Any other motivation advice?
Don't confuse the Optane SSD products (worse binned media over a slower NVMe link) with the higher-performance (and more expensive) Optane Persistent Memory product. For the latter, the latency looks to be sub-microsecond (~100X? SSDs), bandwidth is ~3-5X SSDs, ~10X more endurance, and up to 10X more dense than DRAM (512GB sticks anyone?). Don't have a specific good source though, just from Googling.
I wasn't a marketing person, but I was on the engineering side.
Not OP but marketing was obviously a huge problem for Optane. Intel Marketing did an absolutely terrible job.
* You've got Optane Memory, the PDIMM, which only works with a limited set of Intel products
* You've got Optane the NVMe drive, which works with anything, and are available in sizes usable as a boot disk or for databases/ZIL/etc
* You've got Optane Memory, the 16gb/32gb cache drive used in shitty laptops to try and boost performance, but actually those are just really small NVMe SSDs and can be used as such if you want.
* You've got Optane the caching software, which only works with Intel motherboards/laptops, and basically does the same thing as PrimoCache/StoreMI.
etc. And Intel marketing just made zero effort to distinguish or clarify these products in any way... to this day you get people thinking you had to own an intel system to use optane drives.
Yep that's super deceptive. I guess if you pin it to swap it's not terrible with a latency that low (optane is ideal for a swap drive, super low latency) but it's not really the same as 24gb.
also, current-day: this "intel processor" being the new name for the low-end processor is fucking lmao, did raja's marketing buddies burn the whole place down already? oh my god imagine using your primary brand name as a sub-brand for low-quality products
like man intel marketing has never been all that on the ball, but wat
Like I said in the other comment, all I cared about was having many gigs of memory on desktop. I never got a whiff of those 512 GB sticks, although I sure would have loved to get my hands on them. If Intel segmented them for the datacenter then whoop-de-fucking-doo. All I ever saw were shitty little useless cache drives.
As a hack until then, I've found Google's Custom Search Engine feature to work well enough for my use cases. I just add the URLs that are "tier 1" for me. https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/cse/all
For detecting a pulse from the face, I was able to get good results using pixel tracking and spatial averaging with no fancy math. However if illumination at all changed due to motion, it threw things off considerably without a more work or band passing around the heart rate frequency. (assuming too much in my book)
