IIRC you could always overcommit in Mesos using DRF weights and accepting resource offers in your application. I could be wrong.

The larger point is that Mesos introduced a new, exciting way to do truly distributed allocation (where the cluster manager (i.e., Mesos) and various applications coordinated and cooperated in how they use computing resources). In contrast, Kubernetes is centralized, pretty vanilla, and I would love to know what new ideas it has introduced (from an algorithmic and architecture perspective).

This occurring at the surface of the hyphae may provide phosphate and nitrogenous compounds that the fungus can absorb.
While those are real problems, this feels like the classic Dropbox comment "For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem."

Setting up XMPP and PGP sounds like a pain (almost everything to do with PGP is a pain). Even if you set up such a system, good luck convincing your friends and family to use it with you. I've had some success with Signal adoption but I suspect that XMPP would be a non-starter.

You should have added deliberation duck and not irony duck.
Slow compared to what?
You could write equivalent verbiage for the slow progress of mathematics, chip design, or cinematography-- the only difference is that uninformed randoms feel less bold when critiquing fields these fields (as opposed to AI), or perhaps people are less inclined to waste time reading such half-formed speculation.

The reason progress towards general artificial intelligence is "slow" is because it's a hard problem.

Formulating a definition of intelligence precisely enough that it can be optimized is incredibly difficult.
We can capture facets of it, in some settings, but also have to deal with the cost of hardware and the difficulty of acquiring data.
Sometimes you can get inspired by examining how animals behave, or analyzing the brain, or considering what it means to learn in abstract, but considering one thing in isolation means that you tend to hit a wall eventually.

We refine ideas, we try things, and are buoyed by the advances in technology that makes some strategies possible, but for every major milestone we have a ton of things that people tried and couldn't get to work.
I personally have spent months working on stuff that ultimately yielded a minor improvement; I've spent days proving results that ended up taking half a page in some papers.
It's not easy, and no one expects it to be easy, although some jerks shilling something singularity-related might make such claims.

> If the Java proposal for multi-line strings ever gets done it will make writing SQL queries a lot nicer.

Groovy's multiline strings are really nice that way. Groovy essentially bundles its own version of JDBI as well (but better because it does automatic variable interpolation).
You said

> I have trouble understanding why a dead person would care about anything after their death

Examining the unstated implications of your argument, taken on its face, is not the same as moving the goalposts. Saying "I don't care what happens after I die, so no need to even ask if you can take my organs... except hang on, no, don't abuse my body in weird ways, I'm not okay with that"–THAT'S moving the goalposts.

> it's hard to see it as a bad thing to help the living

except to the extent that 1) harvesting organs from political prisoners is just about as close to a bad thing as you can imagine, and 2) even if we're not talking about China in particular, involuntary organ extraction harms the dignity of living kin.

> Imagine if the relatives have racist objections to donating an organ, and let someone die because their own feelings would be hurt if they saw a person of the "wrong" race being helped. How do you weigh their racist feelings, versus the life being saved?

The right to bodily integrity, to the choice about how your body is used, is unaffected by your motives. A right does not cease to become a right once you disagree with how someone wishes to exercise it.

You don't want your organs to go to a black man? Exercise your right to bodily integrity by not agreeing to be an organ donor.
You actually mentioned several deal breakers would you recommend stuff to friends that would convince them Linux is weird and broken?
I think it's accepted that neurons which interact exhibit increased axon growth between themselves. Given the local nature of biological processes I think this must therefore be the dominant process behind connection building in the brain.

It's really a very general statement about neural development. I have no idea how important the high level structure of the brain is for human thought. It's possible that most brain regions are irrelevant and have more to do with regulating bodily processes than anything else, mere machinery for running a body. But who knows.

The layered residual and wide reaching connections of neocortical neurons are probably equivalent to the 'airplane' in the bird flight analogy.
The article names Forio as the author of Julia Studio.

What company do you work for? If you don't mind me asking. Seems like a good gig.
True in part, but that didn't stop these thieves from smashing the window and stealing a little bit of stuff before running away in fear (we had prominent signs). An actual working alarm helps, but I suspect the signs do most of the legwork.

Fortunately the thieves got caught and were forced to pay compensation years later.

I tried to actually use tor for my browsing back when snowden leaked and schneier implored us all to. But I found the browser really too restricted to be useful. I understand that plugins can go around the browser config etc, but there has to be a better way...

The project I want to see is running the tor router in zerovm in docker, and running a full browser and all plugins in a child docker in such a way that it is fully fire walled and can only communicate via the tor container, with vnc screen scraping etc.

And set up so the browser container can be launched in persistent mode to make changes eg browser plugins, but normally runs with aufs on a ram disk so it never touches disk and is completely lost when closed.
It falls over as soon as people stop trusting each other.

As soon as you get to the point where you don't know everyone, folks get less trusting. People function very well in "village-sized" groups, in my experience, and there's a big change in behavior as soon as you get to the point where you don't "know" everyone. (Behavior doesn't necessarily change in a bad way, but there is a big change.)

Or that's my $0.02, at any rate.
I worked at a place where we tried practicing the principle of the 30% demo. We had one additional point -- at 30%, you should have rough "end-to-end" progress.

This made a drastic difference in how early we were able to assess a design direction. Previously we would have only made 30% progress but that 30% would have been polished. Making it an "end-to-end" demo allowed us to get that kind of rough feedback on the whole feature. And if we needed to, tuning our direction at that point wasn't that painful.

The result was that we no longer had to throw away work that was polished but didn't deliver the goals we wanted -- or worse, continue to force the path because of sunk cost bias, ignoring the feelings that something wasn't right.
Well I'd agree with you if not for the fact that Groklaw made anti-trust the central thesis of their blog entry, which is the article this thread is referring to.

Here's Groklaw's concluding sentence:
"You know how for years I've told you that I expected that one day Microsoft's anti-Linux patent threats would be an antitrust matter? That day has come, at last, and while others have apparently caved to Microsoft, Barnes & Noble had the wisdom to refuse to sign an NDA, and so it is free to speak"

You may want to let them know that antitrust isn't really the crux here.

We recently chose a Solr/Lucene solution for our game search at Big Fish Games (launches tomorrow!). I cannot imagine writing from scratch many features that come with Solr/Lucene: spelling correction, word stemming (walk == walking), stop words (don't return every hit for "the"), sane defaults for tokenizing (splitting up sentences into indexable and searchable chunks, like words), and uhh soon Fuzzy Query matching.

It's certainly easy to use a very limited subset of Lucene's capabilities to come up with a very intuitive user-searchable index of data.

If you wrote something from scratch that truly works better than an out of the box Solr server, let's just say I'd be surprised.
I guess it's the same in any company with "dangerous areas", and has nothing to do with elitism, but with common sense.

> Working the actual Tom Stoppard into her novel Trieste, [Drndić] called him out as a “blind observer.” Having learned of his exterminated relatives (including all four grandparents), she contended, he then returned to “his lovely English language and his one and only royal homeland” as if those relatives had never lived. “She was clearly saying,” Lee writes, “Well, fuck you and your ‘charmed life.’ ”

According to Drndić, should Stoppard suffer as reparations for the deaths of his own family, then? Don't parents typically want their children to have more "charmed" lives than their own?

How cruel to hold Stoppard "accountable" for his parents' success at saving him suffering.
Hard to say. Studies like what color means to a people are really hard problems. It used to be in the Victorian age that red was manliness and blue was womanliness. That obviously switched for our culture.

I'm a big fan of Thinkpad keyboards, too.

The sensible response to that scenario would be: Why did you make HN a Live View? I don't think anyone is suggesting that you make anything a Live View that is more appropriate as plain HTML. If you wouldn't use React, you shouldn't use Live View.

I understand you needed an example, but a better comparison would be a heavy SPA with real-time interactivity. In that case, if your server is down your API calls will fail and you're going to have to handle the failure and let the user know something went wrong any way. If anything, Live View's built-in buffer and retry can actually provide a better user experience because the UI will automatically "catch up" when the client reconnects.

> You also don't want to disable this visual warning because on slower devices it might take 2 seconds to load the page which is much different than an uncontrolled disconnect.

Live View loads the entire initial page over HTTP, then mounts the Live View. Your slow device won't see any difference if the visual warning is disabled or not.

> We can probably agree that governance is complicated though.

Yes. I don't think there is an obviously correct solution either way. I'm really only arguing that "trust the majority" is not something I trust. Not that "trust experts" is without its own (possibly equally fraught) set of problems.
I just don't see the US fighting China or Russia in a direct, conventional weapons conflict. How does it not escalate?
I love Chorus! I encountered it in the workplace and it blew my mind. The holotropic breathing thing makes me slightly hallucinate. Which is perfect for a work day.

I think it was a good fit with the move to remote world, having a community of people to mediate with - think they have grown a ton. I have friends who like that better. Personally I find myself a little lazy to show up - giving myself some space for that and look forward to in person classes again.

my favorite is M3 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MABMM301USM189S

Edit: I thought it was obvious, yet in response to comment below - theoretically to get real inflation one has to adjust the M3 for the growth of the total amount of "stuff" in the economy. As that growth is just 1-2%/year , the M3 shape is visually indistinguishable from the real inflation on any given time period of up to several years.
Thats fair, I'll make sure we add at least screenshots in the future.
>> 10 hours a day is dedicated to my job. I'm awake for 16 hours and 10 of those I spend at work.

That's the tragedy of wage labor, even highly paid salaried positions. We spend so much of our adult lives in a place that's ultimately transactional and labor to produce profit for someone else. It's bonkers.

And yet it's the best deal most of us are ever going to get without concerted action within and across industries.
Do ads care about targeting these days? I thought they were more interested in retargeting, where they know who you are and always show the most valuable thing on every site, ignoring what you're actually doing at the moment. This is bad for ad displayers because it means there's no point in collecting a higher value audience.
It's not necessary, it's just extraordinarily convenient. I don't have to ever say, "Oh, wait, I'm on my laptop now, I can't run an application with 100 processes without causing my system to grind to a halt."

Even the sequential performance of the remote systems is much higher than my laptop. The system in front of me is a means to interface with the real system, and has been for a long time. Granted, I have worked on parallel and distributed languages and runtimes for most of my professional life.
This is wrong. There are no purely functional data structures analogous to hash tables in terms of performance. Hash tables are inherently stateful and cannot be implemented without state.

OK - some background...

Reading the thread is interesting! My motivation for the 1 Terabyte work was nothing to do with conceptual art, I wont go into detail but originally conceptual art was the idea that art was essentially a practice of examination of the nature of art, see

http://tallervi.pbworks.com/f/Art%20After%20Philosophy.pdf

This is an incredibly important document (though I don’t subscribe to it now) as it poses the severing of art from aesthetics! (which I do subscribe to)

Unfortunately the media then took the term ‘conceptual art’ to mean any art using any ‘idea’ about anything! Which was usually linked with challenging the viewers idea of art etc. or being ‘interesting’ or smart or ‘pushing the boundaries’…
And was based on the misunderstanding of the lack of symmetry in this kind of thing..

1. New art is shocking.
2. Something shocking is new art.

1. might be true in some cases, but 2 does not follow anymore than…

1. New theories in science are often thought crazy.
2. If this is thought crazy its new science.

So my motivation for 1TB– simple

“A man climbs a mountain because it's there. A man makes a work of art because it isn't there.” Carl Andre.

So not a conceptrual work but an OBJECT.

I just thought - could I make a terabyte of noise? I like the discussion about why mp3? The project began many years ago 1990s… using a lap top and VB to write the files. This was so slow that after about 2 days the program would crash… the problem seems not FAT32 but the old VB couldn’t handle files larger than 4gb. Well after several attempts the lap top gave up! Latter of course you see the header of a .WAV file allows for a max of 4gb. (“WAV files are usually stored uncompressed, which means that they can get quite large, but they cannot exceed 4 gigabytes due to the fact that the file size header field is a 32-bit unsigned integer”) So I had two problems, size, and the time taken to write! such a long file. The answer was when I found you can join mp3s and they will play… even using a DOS copy command… copy *.mp3 /B big.mp3 would copy all the mp3s in a folder to one big mp3 – which would then play! (unlike mp4!)

So I created a .vb program (called MUZILLA....) to randomly splice chunks of .mp3s to create large mp3s. The random selection giving different sound files of very large lengths. This would make very big mp3s in minutes not days…. So the project looked possible!

Moreover I found though one can count up to a billion, a trillion is impossible, I am very interested in ‘objects’ which exceed the human. http://www.jliat.com/tg/index.html

http://www.jliat.com/APCDS/index.html

This is bound up with such ideas as infinity, multiverses and a time before and after humans as being the nature of reality. (Speculative Realism) If reality is essentially inhuman – and if art is about our relationship to reality… then I think my work could be considered as being art. Or if not then I’m just messing with what I find in the world…

I've been on Twitter for several years now, but not posted much. I used to find it interesting because there was a lot of good technical articles and information being shared by the people I chose to follow. Then over time that mostly stopped, but it was still good because I followed people who posted the kind of dumb jokes I like.

And then I felt increasingly disconnected from everyone because of being stuck at home in a pandemic. And I started tweeting a little more, and getting pretty much nothing back. And then I had a bad interaction (nothing abusive, just confrontational), and I uninstalled the app from my phone.

I basically agree with everything in TFA. There is fun, interesting and sometimes even insightful stuff on Twitter. But people become warped. It's incredibly difficult to actually have a two-way communication on Twitter; people will misinterpret and assume the worst about everything you write.

And I was not immune to this effect either - I realised when I went back over the back-and-forth that had felt so emotionally charged at the time, that I had also been assuming the worst and replying without the open mind that might have led to a better interaction.
