It's just rotational dynamics from Physics I. The kinetic energy of something spinning is (1/2)Iw^2. The energy of something spinning is proportional to the square of the speed that it spins, or I guess you could say "O(n^2)". If you double the clock frequency, you quadruple the heat, and at a certain point you can't go any farther because you don't have a way of removing heat fast enough before it melts.

They even show it in the article:

>­underclocking a single core by 20 percent saves half the power

0.8^2 = 0.64, pretty close.
Is it possible what you're seeing is driven by anxiety? Anecdotal, but I have noticed an inverse correlation between how likely I am to intuit a solution, and how much time I spend consciously ruminating on and worrying about the problem.
Yes, but the point is that semiconductor companies don't focus on that problem because you'd be dissipating power anyway, which is less attractive, according to the article.
I'll have to repeat my question in other words. How many MIPS do you think, remain, if every third instruction is a mispredicted branch and every second memory access is a cache miss?

Modern CPUs use pipelining which executes many instructions parallel. This only works well if everything goes as predicted. If you have an algorithm which works contrary to what the branch prediction thinks and a cache which does not hold the data you need, your performance goes down the drain. Those MIPS mean nothing if not put into the right context.
Living with kids on Manhattan is definitely quite expensive (at least, for me), but you can have a proper city environment in both Queens and Brooklyn, with 20-40 mins commute to basically anywhere on Manhattan (where the jobs are).
May be we can start fixing the economic model to not to need continuous growth, and the rest will follow.

A more closed society, like the Japanese, can show us the way by improving the lives of the future generations while having fewer people.
Meh. The website says "Please cite", not "you must cite". To derail this a bit further, I would actually be very interested in an academic version of the AGPL - that is, a proper license that defines "publication of data produced by the work" as "distribution of the work", meaning that if someone uses the software to produce some data and then publishes said data, they also must publish (or make available on request) all changes made to the software. Unfortunately, the very strict definition in the AGPL and the interlinking between it and the GPL make this difficult to add-on later.

And thus we are stuck with "please cite this so I can justify working on it, please?" instead of "You must cite this if you want to use it".

Honestly, I also don’t see how this request isn’t scalable, could you expand on that?
Unless

1) Your needs are very static, or

2) Your IT department can competently replicate the PaaS experience on its in-house metal (common big tech company strategy)

The cloud is likely to do wonders for velocity, as when you have a new use case, you can "just" spin up a new VM and run the company Puppet on it within an hour or so, vs. wait weeks to months for a purchase order, shipping, installation at the colo facility, etc.

If your IT department is doing Mesos or Kubernetes or something with a decent self-service control panel for developers, then you get the best of both worlds, but you also have to build and maintain that.

It doesn't matter.

It's always important in these sorts of arguments to understand that opinions don't matter; only whether something makes economic sense or not. If indeed you're right and that what these VC funded corporations are doing is not right or 'illogical', then all you have to do is wait and watch them collapse under their own weight. However, if what they're doing is not just economically feasible but that in the process they're creating enormous value for the entire ecosystems in which they operate, then they will thrive no matter what you and I think.

Somewhat tangentially, you can extend my thoughts on this issue to clean energy solutions. Government subsidies and foundations won't provide the clean energy solutions that we need to shift away from fossil fuel. Only the private sector acting on self interest will provide clean energy solutions that will be so cheap that everyone will be forced to shift to clean energy alternatives - again due to their own self interest.

The bottom line; all actors will be lured towards what serves them best economically no matter what we feel about those choices! This reminds me of a story I read a while back about how union leaders who were protesting against Walmart and everything it stands for but because Walmart is so affordable, even they(union leaders) would go and do their shopping there as opposed to anywhere else.

The problem with point 1 is where to stop? Well parallel is written using Perl, so cite that? I have some bash and python scripts. Cite them? The Linux kernel? Systemd?

I would cite parallel if it is required for the reader to understand or reproduce my research (for example, I report timings which were sped up by parallelisation). Otherwise it's just a tool, Like bash, the C standard library or the Linux kernel.

Point 2, the author is giving the code two contradictory licences. I'm not sure which applies. Do I get to choose or does he? I'm not a lawyer.

I get this all the time when coding. I'll either write some crappy code that works but isn't elegant, or I'll hit a wall. Then either I'll go for a bike ride and get the answer, or I'll wake up in the morning and just type in the solution.

Thing is, it only works if I really care about the problem. I have to have gone through a period of trying to see it from multiple angles and failing to find a nice solution. I have to have tried and failed. I never get the answer for free.

I've even dreamed of coding the solution, either seeing the code or some geometric solution in my dream. When I see the code in my dream, it's not readable, it's just the "form" of the code.

edit: it's almost as if conscious thought is "programming" my subconscious to find a solution

I'm like this, to the point that I actively harness it: whenever I have some bigger problem to work on I read it and just not work on it for the rest of the day. In the morning I just know I'll have a much better understanding of it somehow.

The morning always brings answers no matter how complex something seems. I find it extremely relaxing, just being aware that if something is frustrating I can just drop it for the day and tomorrow I'll know what to do.

> Yes, correct! GPL does not allow requiring citations.

I understand that the copyright holder can in general specify whatever clauses in the license, even if this makes it self-contradictory, and is not bound by any statements by FSF. In this case, it becomes unclear what use of the software is actually allowed.
If you look carefully enough its not only the developer in you but anything meaningful or living in your life is done by someone other than what you usually refer to as me. Normally, such phenomenon is mostly associated with ideas we get on waking up or during shower or exercise.

My observation is that whenever you do anything that's unscripted or unplanned - it's "someone else". Say - answering well an interview with questions that you never expected and had relatively less exposure to, writing a blog post when you plan to write something but then all the ideas rush in and begin to write themselves and so on. I'm from India and I find it hard to communicate with western people these ideas directly. A contemporary ideas that's closest is the Dennet's theory of Narrative Self. Essentially, this article is the author's narrative self trying to make sense of the overnight solution the got.

it was interesting when in article he says such ideas come to him sometimes not all the time - one thing he can do to improve this is to subdue this narrative self a bit. A very good video on this point is by Alan Kay in context of Inner Game of Tennis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50L44hEtVos
The problem seems ill-defined to me in the same sense that Bertrand's paradox is (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_paradox_(probability)).

Your optimal strategy involves maximizing an objective function that depends upon your opponent's strategy. "Assume nothing" about your opponent is an incomplete problem specification, because you must assume something in order to determine which function to maximize.

For example, consider that your opponent chooses to redraw any time his number is greater than 0.5. His expected value then becomes less than 0.5, which means that if you choose to redraw any time your own number is below 0.618..., then your strategy is suboptimal.

So, we have to assume something about the opponent's strategy. Is it a uniform strategy state space? Is it a state space where both players are superrational?
No, get people to make safe and proper websites.

Many at this point jut in by saying "English is ours, you Heathen!", but really though it is not. India's English proficiency index was lower than China and Japan in 2011 [2] (before magically jumping up).

I've been extremely disappointed with India. There is very little awareness of political systems, even while many get drawn into pompous nationalism. Everyone is obsessed with how the best of Indians leave for the US, and are greedily optimizing for how to get a share of that sweet sweet dough. This from language teachers,writers to engineers, scientists. When Sanskrit/Kannada teachers start spouting English for class signalling, you realize there is no hope for India (much as with Africa). It's not surprising that the power centers of Indology are in the US.

What percent of Uber users read Stallman's website or even HN? Probably less than 1%.

The sad thing is the general populace of the United States (or even, the world) doesn't care if their data are being tracked or kept; or if their personal information is being recorded; the work of people like Edward Snowden has done little to change the behavior of most internet consumers.

It is enormously difficult to change the behaviors of these users, probably even impossible.
sips is a good tip, thanks!

I often sort and process images with a macbook on my lap curled up on the sofa. Resizing locally makes the mac blazing hot with fans whining - not comfortable and kills the battery. Transfer speed is not too bad over 802.11AC. So I use it mainly as a method of moving cpu intensive work away from my lap.

Also, I sometimes use

parallel -S server,: .......

The semicolon adds the local machine to the list, it will saturate both the laptop and whatever it manages from the other computer. I have to admit I've never tested this scientifically, but it seems to be faster even with the overhead (gain of remote imagemagick seems to be more than cpu overhead of SSH file transfer).

True. And now I suppose I will go into slightly more detail :) First though, I never suggested that discussing the issue would solve the problem of ISIS just to be clear. Discussion is the first step down a very long road. However, I do think debate and criticism will contribute to a diminishing of such ideology in the world.

So, would you agree it would be better for one or a few churches to pray for removal of Roe v Wade than hundreds or thousands of Churches?

If so then you must surely agree that one or a few dozen extreme interpretations is still better than several hundreds or thousands as is the case with the various terrorists groups of which ISIS is one.

So the question of importance is not how to eliminate extreme interpretations in a world we know is imperfect, but how to minimize that number knowing we can never fully eliminate it.

Now, there are several ways to achieve our goal. One way, that is also backed up by some of the experts and leading activists in this field such as Maajid Nawaz, John Azumah, Sam Harris, Ayaan Hirsi to name a few - which I would highly recommend those interested in reading - is that which I suggest i.e. open debate and discussion and a fostering of secularization within Islam by interacting with its leaders and its community and criticizing the ideas, not the people, where they are bad. And doing all of this in an open and honest, non-vehement manner, but still discussing and criticizing nonetheless.

Now, there are likely other factors that play a role in Islamic terrorism besides extreme interpretation of religious texts such as socio-economic status, educational level, community values, etc. which may or may not play a role in extremism and we should openly discuss these as well.

Not sure if suitable for your purposes, but GeoNet. They use a network of digital seismic stations. Whenever seismic waves propagate, doing a time-analysis of when they passed under each station can tell you where the quake occurred. This is augmented with crowd-sourced "felt reports".

Literally within seconds of a shake, the preliminary report hits their website, and its confidence level increases over the next few minutes as more data reports in.

This immediately made me remember Dr. Milton H. Erickson who through conceptualizing the unconscious as highly separate from the conscious mind, with its own awareness, interests, responses, and learnings, he taught that the unconscious mind was creative, solution-generating, and often positive. This was a great influence and basis for big parts of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), which was in part based on his hypnosis techniques. The NLP crowd believes that through some tricks and work on yourself, you can open a wider channel for your unconscious to show its potential, for example not having to wait a whole day for some answer to come to you.
