It's a mix of both, hardware is inferior for current use cases but current use cases are driven heavily by NVIDIA.

NVIDIA knows how to do 2 things right; understanding that software matters, even more than hardware and deliver on that notion; and how manage developer relations.

While AMD makes it easy to access information without NDA and sign ups NVIDIA blows it it if the water the moment you show even the slightest interest at signing up with them.

NVIDIA at this point can probably spin off a pure consulting division for AI/ML and bring in more revenue than AMD in its entirety.
Carole Cadwalladr's points are well taken. I tried the queries myself when I saw these articles and got the same results she did.

Apparently Google is listening, since some of these results have been changed. Was it a manual fix? So, Google's results are the output of an algorithm, except when they're not? Who decides which results will be manually fixed? And fixed how?

I think many, if not most, Internet users do treat search results as authoritative, even though the cognoscendi know they're not intended to be.

The real question is, can this situation ever be fixed in the general case? Reporting what is "true," and not just popular. I doubt it. Some things are clearly not true, but what is true? That's the biggest AI problem ever.
Have anything to add on top of that besides just the link? Have you read the book?

Of course one cannot be sure that it is the underlying cause.

That's what my second sentence alludes to.
Exciting! I hope this is the watershed moment I have imagined it to be.
They won't use tritium but they do plan to fuse deuterium, like most other fusion experiments.

I'm not super well-versed in the networking area. I misread the posting. I thought they were looking at 64Us of servers.

I've just gotten the notion that SDN is almost ready for primetime, just not yet.
That's not at all what I meant, attacking the legitimately handicapped. You should be ashamed of yourself taking it out of context on purpose just to self-righteously complain.
Would have been interesting to see their network and development environment back then. You have John Carmack hacking away on a NeXT workstation, John Romero doing levels on another NeXT, the file server running on a PC server with Netware, play testing on some DOS machines, and who knows what the rest of the guys were using for art and other stuff.
You can certainly do some math/estimates based on looking at individual component specifications, but I like using a power meter (built in to some PDUs - which is a feature worth having, or you can buy one, they are quite inexpensive).

A system at idle vs full CPU vs full cpu + all disk will produce very different measurements.

Also keep in mind 80% derating - many electrical codes will state that an X amp circuit should only be used at 0.8X on a continuous basis (and the circuit breakers will be sized accordingly).
And be alone with my actual identity and have to deal with existential angst? I'd rather get upset about an issue I read to give my life some meaning /s
Wrapping them in methods is an easy way to fix that... but not sure if it is any cleaner.

> I'd pay for it even if it was just empty repo => dumb site w/ user auth

Never understood what is so hard with user auth and why people need an example of a SPA with user auth. Your server is just a web API, so just use stateless authentication.
I recently had to do this. The server I was putting up was rated for 3kW. To determine the expected load, I put it under a dummy load that I reasonably considered the maximum for what I would expect on the server (this was a dev machine, so I picked compiling the linux kernel as a benchmark). I ran that until the power stabilized (SuperMicro servers can measure power consumption in hardware and expose this via IPMI - very handy), because power consumption may keep creeping up for a few minutes as the fans adjust to the new operating temperature. I then repeated the same exercise with a CPU torture test (Prime95), just to see what the maximum I could possible get out of the machine was. The numbers turned out to be about 1.8kW for the linux kernel benchmark, and 2.3kW for the torture test. What I ended up doing was to provision for 2kW and use the BIOS' power limiting feature to enforce this. That would kill the machine if it exceeded its designed load, but that's usually better than tripping the breaker and killing the entire circuit. You may also want to talk to your data center provider about overrages. Some of the quotes I got wouldn't kill your circuit when you went over, but would just charge you (a crazy amount, but better than losing all your servers).

Hope that helps. Your deployment is larger than ours, so there may be other techniques, but that's what we did.

Since GitLab is heavily betting on Prometheus now, my guess is that it will be used to cover almost all of those points and more. Yep, lots of work though.

Ah, right, I didn't pay close attention. I selected the S&P mostly as a simple "default" choice to start. It doesn't really matter, since it'll be a while before I can invest any significant amounts.
None of that would convince me to lift a finger. Not unless you put dollar amounts on one vs the other. Version control isn't something I even care about performance.
Thanks for the great suggestions.

We're considering the fat twins so we get both a lot of CPU and some disk. GitLab.com is pretty CPU heavy because of ruby and the CI runners that we might transfer in the future. So we wanted the maximum CPU per U.

The 2028u has 2.5" drives. For that I only see 2TB drives on http://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/HDD.cfm for the SS2028U-TR4+. How do you suggest getting to 4TB?
I think you'll need the good luck with the reading comprehension displayed here. I'm as for disability assistance as much as anyone you'll find.
I agree. These problems only exist for pay-per-impression and targeted ad models, and the return of dumb ads is a solution to this. I should have made that clearer.

Built an saas document management & review site for a very large company 3 years ago. I have a monthly maintenance contract with them and receive about $3,500 per month. After expenses (insurance & hosting) and my partners split I net $1,300 per month. Over the last 2 years, I have invested an average of about 2 hours a month, most months I do no work at all.
If you spent a year building something and then live from the income for ten years, then you are at the very least selling at an inflated price. Your customers should take their money, recreate your work, save 90 % and of course put you out of business.
Not (yet) an Edge user, but as a UBlock Origin user, it's nice to know this will be there when I need it.
I'm a cranky old person now, I think this is a crazy approach to take and I would be having a very challenging conversation with the engineer pitching this to me.

My underlying assumption is that this is a production service with customers depending on it.

1. Don't fuck with networking. Do you have experience operating same or similar workloads on your super micro sdn? Will the CEO of your super micro VAR pickup his phone at 2AM when you call?

My advice: Get a quote from Arista.

2. Don't fuck with storage.

32 file servers for 96TB? Same question as with networking re:ceph. What are your failure domains? How much does it cost to maintain the FTEs who can run this thing?

3. What's the service SLA on the servers? Historically, supermicro VARs have been challenged with that.

If I were building this solution, I'd want to understand what the ROI of this science project is as compared to the current cloud solution and a converged offering like Cisco/NetApp, HP/3Par or something like Nutanix. You're probably saving like 20-25% on hardware.

This sounds to me like pinching pennies on procurement and picking up tens of dollars of cost on the labor side. If you're accustomed to SLAs from AWS, this will be a rude awakening.
Trump was mocking behavior - the being inconsistent part of it - not mocking disability.

It's the difference between mocking somebody for their views and statements who merely happens to have a disability and mocking somebody for having a disability. The latter is what people thought he did; the former is far less inherently objectionable.
There absolutely is a reason: seismic design. We end up doing a lot of data manipulation between the FEA stage and member design stage.

Its not a distrust so much as a fundamental flaw. For simple gravity design it works fine, but even then we are using spColumn because its just quicker for us.
Things like smart contracts would kill off the very need for many law firms so I'm not sure I followed the article well.
> If they're not then you get a disassembled view of the webassembly code. This is not very different from seeing a prettified version of a minified or obscured Javascript file.

I’ve spent a few weeks looking at those, comparing them, and manually deobfuscating examples.

Even getting through DRM in most web- or android apps is easier than trying to get through similar example projects in webassembly.

> If the owner of the site you're debugging is friendly they'll include source maps so that you see the original source. If they're not then you get a disassembled view of the webassembly code.

The whole point is that this shouldn’t just be "if the owner is friendly", but a technical or legal requirement.
Exactly this. I don't think that if you take into account __all__ parameters bare metal is cheaper. My other problem is that they are moving from cloud to bare metal because of performance while using a bunch of software that are notoriously slow and wasteful. I would optimise the hell out of my stack before commit to a change like this. Building your own racks does not deliver business value and it is extremely error prone process (been there, done that). There are a lot of vendors where the RMA process is a nightmare. We will see how it turns out for Gitlab.
I feel a bit the same. What's your goal of learning with Anki?

Part of my other comment here 'then what?' also links to someone else's comment about Anki - it wouldn't let you skip 500 words of backlog until you'd reviewed them. And the FAQ used to say something like: "Sorry, but you skipped some time and you are now at risk of forgetting those 500 words. You need to review them, because otherwise what's the point in any of this?".

I'm starting to wonder if people ever really 'learn' things, and if it's more a case of 'use it or lose it' happening every moment. When you're not using it, it starts to fade - whatever it is. Native language included, all skills included. And the consequence of that is that all learning has to include some notion of using it in future, not just once but regularly - frequently, even.

If your goal is in any way "because I should" or "because I want to be a better person" or "because I want to know more", I'm not surprised it gives you little motivation. If your goal instead includes "I want to do X with the language or skill, on a regular basis":

- I want to study Language because I travel to Langland every two weeks for work, and desperately want to be able to talk to people without a translator: motivating.

- I want to study Language because I saw a holiday to Langland on offer and maybe I'll go there next year, and I don't really have anything else to do: not motivating.

then the strength of motivation depends[1] on the strength of desire you have to do a thing, combined with the amount of doing that thing you want to have in your future life. Most things we choose to learn about, we have no good plan to weave them into regular life, and so not a long term strong desire to learn about them, and so not that much motivation to stick past the novelty stage.

[1] speculative.
The estimate of 19KW gives a rough estimated requirement of ~90A @ 208v.

4 x 208v 30A circuits gives a total of 120A -- of which they can only be used at 80% capacity, so that gives you 96A usable -- without redundancy.

My initial feelings (eyeballing it) are you should be looking for 3 full racks, 2x208V@30A in each.

As a juniper shop, we implemented the 2xQFX 5100 48T (in virtual chassis) + ex4300 for remote access per rack. This will be a decision based on your local expertise though.

I also looked hard into the twin boxes -- but power to the rack in the end ruled the day, and it made not much of a difference to use the 1U boxes.

Don't forget about out of band (serial for the switching gear). We've been using OpenGear.com for this stuff with 4G-LTE builtin.

VPN access to access console devices?

Any site-to-site VPN needs?

Also, I would consider not pre-purchasing N times your required horsepower/disk if you can avoid it, but rather add in pre-planned yearly, or biannually stages.

As the CEO of a cloud hosting & server management company -- I have much more to say about this if you would like to chat via phone or email anytime.
I meant the category of "not worth listening to"

> given two people of the same position, the one that's not complaining their opinions aren't getting fair treatment is usually one that can argue their position a lot more clearly and therefore is just generally more worth listening to

You didn't say "more" or "less" worth listening to, you said "not"
Δοκιμασία στα Γιάννενα για τον Ολυμπιακό
It wouldn't surprise me if there is an internal conflict at Microsoft about allowing Edge extensions.

Back when Windows 10 came out, Cortana opened Bing searches in your default browser. Someone made a Bing2Google extension for Chrome, and Microsoft responded by making Cortana only open Bing searches in Edge.

Now that Edge supports extensions, I can make a Bing2Google extension for Edge, but Microsoft will never accept it. If I make a Bing2Google userscript for Tampermonkey[1], Microsoft will probably take down Tampermonkey eventually once they learn about the userscript. There is already a very simple userscript available[2] that you can install right now to get this "banned" functionality in Edge.

Edge's extension ecosystem is a walled garden. When it comes to browsers, I prefer freedom over performance and efficiency. This is why I'm still not switching to Edge. I'll give Edge another chance if/when they open up their extension platform to everyone. For now, it's useless without Microsoft approval.

I use Tampermonkey for some userscripts on other sites and I don't feel comfortable relying on Microsoft's goodwill to not remove this extension.

The only ones I know of off the top of my head are Fidelity and Interactive Brokers. Maybe Schwab as well? I think in general Fidelity and IB have similar rates.
Have you tried reversing code in both before? Even the most complicated bytecode for the JVM (for example, code extracted from Android apps and thrown through dex2jar) is a lot easier readable than WebAssembly.

I’ve spent quite a while reversing example projects in both formats, and I really hate WebAssembly.
And note that it's not that hard. Google, who are not really known as a chip company, designed the TPUs:

The result is called a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), a custom ASIC we built specifically for machine learning — and tailored for TensorFlow. We’ve been running TPUs inside our data centers for more than a year, and have found them to deliver an order of magnitude better-optimized performance per watt for machine learning. This is roughly equivalent to fast-forwarding technology about seven years into the future (three generations of Moore’s Law). (https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/05/Google-supercha...)

That sounds like a custom ASIC for this purpose. And if Google can do it, so can Intel.

What is your take on the morality / consequences of ad-blocking?

Having worked in the ad-industry for almost five years, I'm remarkably conflicted. Malware, duping users, and scams are a real issue on the modern web. However, blocking ads comes with significant consequences for businesses, as most users aren't willing to pay direct for content.

What's the alternative most feel comfortable with? Google contributor? Patreon? Something that I'm not aware of?
Well, by that token, ER isn't "universal health care" either. I have knee pain from a soccer injury and need arthroscopic surgery. Emergency/urgent care won't do that.
Just once is sufficient. The reason why you would want to do that is compatibility: now you only have to support webkit OR gecko/servo, not both :)
I thought the same and looked into this years ago but the short story is that for many git operations it needs block access to the repository. With an object store it becomes very slow.
> I switched off as soon as I saw 'swapon'

Why? We're discussing running systems with as little at 512MB of RAM, but have 60GB of HDD.

Swap may not be as fast as RAM, but it's sure a heck of a lot better than crashing when your system needs 513MB for an instant...
To be honest, I looked at flux's homepage and still don't know exactly what it does or how it would be integrated into the problem at hand.

Google contributor is close to the right model but replacing real ads with "Thank you" ads is a deal breaker. I want that screen real estate back!
Good points, thanks!
Microsoft (not being dependent on ad revenue) could make some big strides by incorporating UBlock into the browser and marketing Edge as "the internet, without ads."

'A faster browser' is why Internet Explorer lost users to Firefox and Chrome in the first place. Microsoft could still win that back.

Some financial institutions require all sensitive* data to be stored/hosted in the same country/state(archaic yes).

It's real hard to actually define sensitive data but the IP* in some code a quant wrote can totally be considered a trade secret by a non technical person

I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly what you have said, but I think it should be pointed out that GPL absolutely depends on and hangs off of copyright law. It's just as much an expression of the ownership of thought as proprietary software is.

Must-(re)read: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatethenews - it was 10 years ago.
Well, yes I agree, hence the weasel-word "usually". :)

It's all about statistics. That particular query somehow invites a larger number of Holocaust deniers than other similar queries. It's unfortunate that someone who are just curious might end up learning bogus history, and most people would agree that Google could do better here, but that doesn't necessarily mean that anyone's actively gaming the system.
Political - isn't there a moratorium on that?
Spaced repetition software is designed to maximise absolute throughput. That is, maximise the quantity items-remembered/year.

The way it does this is to open a firehose at your memory. If the information is simple and well presented, then ideally about 90-95% of it will stick.

If you want to retain 1000s of items (like a foreign language) and can accept some amount of loss, then spaced repetition is effective.

But it's not designed to increase the relative chance that any individual item will be remembered. If you want to learn a small number of items with 100% recall, then spaced repetition is a bad way of doing that.

I mean the sites here, not the ads.

I have fond memories of the 'old' internet, where web sites existed because someone cared, not because someone wanted to sell ad space. Maybe I have selective memory, though.
That keyword-laden first paragraph is probably what will show up in the blurb for that page in a SERP, too.
Isn't the presumption by the content creator that that space will be filled with ads? I can see for in-stream advertisements just eliminating them, but side-bar ads or other banner ads being fully eliminated might result in poor layouts.
E&S, 3dlabs... I do not miss those at all!
Thanks, I agree that multiple nodes could be acceptable if needed.

So the proposal now is to have one chassis (excluding the backup system) and two types of nodes (normal and database).

If the customer base has lots of US enterprise customers, that choice will cost you money. Ex-US data residency is an issue for many compliance standards.
First, as the developer of one of the existing apps (Sun Surveyor) in the space, congratulations! Long time HN lurker; never expected to see this space come up here. My experience with it has been incredibly fulfilling, and I never knew about Sun Seeker et all (or the difficulty involved in some aspects) when I started or I may not have. I'd love to compare notes sometime.

Second, I see you have a lite and pro app. I'm curious what made you choose that model; when I released my app there were no IAPs, and now it's almost too troublesome to try to switch to that model for me. It's rare to see a non-IAP model these days so just curious how it's working out for you and your rationale! I certainly wish I could just have IAP.
If they provided a faster alternative to Firefox on Android to get rid of ads without rooting or vpns, i'd install it instantly.
You can. That's what a Farnsworth fusor does (there are other related designs, but that's the original, and the kind you can build in your garage).

But for complicated reasons, it just isn't efficient enough to actually produce net power output. Of course, neither is any other design right now, but magnetic confinement appears to be the more promising path forward.
We're in a rush because we need GitLab.com to get fast now. We might shoot ourselves in the foot by not prototyping first but we're taking the risk. We're hiring more consultants to help us with the move.
