Tesla’s second-largest shareholder, Vanguard, voted against the pay deal in 2018. BlackRock, the third largest, voted for it. Both declined to say how they were voting this time. But Vanguard, which has total assets of about $9 trillion, and other big index fund managers were always likely to be key to the vote. Representatives of Vanguard rivals BlackRock (BLK.N), and State Street (STT.N), declined to comment about their votes on Thursday. "Half of it is regurgitating"
"how you behave as a human being, what happens when I throw in a curve ball."
So it's half hazing, half theatrical performance? The relatively simple algorithm (lookup) can be several times faster than conventional algorithms at a common task using nothing more than the instructions available on commodity processors. It requires fewer than an instruction per input byte in the worst case. The COST of a given platform for a given problem is the hardware configuration required before the platform outperforms a competent single-threaded implementation.
