> The closest thing I can think of is Watson from IBM.

What are you imagining Watson is? Watson is not a singular entity that decides whether to play Jeopardy or analyze medical records or whatever. It's a brand.

The comparison that comes to mind is Colonel Sanders.
Indeed. Even having to figure out a way to hold my phone while it's external battery pack is plugged in is a pain. I used to just swap batteries, back when that was possible. My phone is capable of having a lot of things plugged into it, but it stops working well as a handheld device at that point.
I could be wrong but it really sounds like you're talking about production. If that's the case then yes, I can respect the RAM requirement and it's almost too obvious to state that it isn't purposeless.

The key here is it's a personal development workstation on which he has these resources. If that's a requirement, I would argue there's something fundamentally wrong with his development processes requiring that much data locally without even a server.
>> People have been practicing privately and only occasionally getting checkpoints of public feedback across all kinds of skillsets for centuries. It's silly to act like we don't know how to practice in private.

Fair enough. I can see why my comment came across as if I said there were no other options.

But my point is to use resources at your disposal. One of the amazing resource at our disposal today is the ability to cost-effectively publish a half-baked idea on our website knowing that a) that could still be useful for a small section of people and b) its mistakes could be corrected by another small section of people who know the topic in greater detail and c) all this happens in such a way that everyone is, quite literally, "on the same page".
Symphony was marketed by Goldman Sachs and Blackrock as a $15 Bloomberg killer, but still has not gained much traction. Bloomberg provides real-time data feeds, analysis tools, real-time secure communication with other traders, news and entertainment. When you are looking after AUMs of tens or hundreds of billions, $24,000 a year for a Bloomberg subscription is negligible.

"Potential users don’t want to get onboard unless all the other people in their ecosystem are on the service. That dynamic obviously keeps most people from joining Symphony. Most everyone working in financial markets is already on Bloomberg, and it would take virtually everyone leaving at the same time to give Symphony critical mass.

“I think Facebook is the best comparison,” Ayzerov says. “If Facebook had only one fourth of your friends, you wouldn’t use it. The advantage of Bloomberg is that every financial person has it.”"

See http://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/3572874/banking... for some of the obstacles that Symphony faces
Some people may still value the experience of losing more than the money.
I love the debate in ancient historical studies, that argues if those people that were "conquered" by Alexander and were subjects to later rulers (even though the often tried to deviate from this status by violent or nonviolent means), simply adapted to the new influence not because it was necessary, but because it was fashionable.

Just like a lot of people are fascinate by American culture today and therefore try to learn English or watch Hollywood movies.
Yes, I've been a pushy cyclist, for that very reason. Getting pushed off the road, or broken on opened doors, is no fun.
Let's compare this to height as you did.

Because of how gaussian distributions work, the differences at the outlying values are huge even for small differences in the average.

For example, men are taller than women in general, but of course some men are taller than some women.

But at the extreme heights, the ratio between men and women becomes stagger. At 6 feet tall, men outnumber women 30:1. At 6'3", 2000:1.

Now apply this to tech. If we imagine a relatively elite job, like being a professional programmer with significant responsibility, that is the kind of thing only someone at the extreme end of the bell curve of tech-proclivity is going to do. But because of the way gaussians work at extreme values, even if women on average have similar tech-proclivity to men, at that high level the ratio of men:women could be huge.

All this could just be due to a simple misunderstanding of the math of a bell curve distribution and how it works at the ends of the spectrum.
I can try too.
Based on the design document for ChainPad, it seems like it would be more accurate to describe it as a fancy CRDT as opposed to a blockchain. It doesn't include mining or any of Bitcoin's incentive mechanisms, so it doesn't inherit either Bitcoin's security benefits or its scalability/efficiency shortcomings.

To me, one of the biggest things here is the focus on lower latency. Sustained speeds are great, but latency is really the problem with current 4G.

They cite that LTE cells have about 20ms latency. Adding a 20ms overhead to every connection adds up fast.
I've seen it once even after upgrading, so it's not that the old RAM was dead. I'm guessing BIOS or driver issues as others have mentioned.
Oh man, don't get me nostalgic for Bill Gates, the greatest villain the world has ever known. I was happy when he was the villain but didn't know I was happy.

We can't call him out of retirement now, he's busy, and besides Microsoft isn't as scary as it used to be. Nothing stays the same so learn to appreciate it next time an assholish villain rises up to roll you without the slightest pretense of charm and subtlety.

Thank him for occupying you and your friends' thoughts and prayers for mercy and for endless hours of debate, strife, and paranoia because you won't realize what you've lost until it's gone.

One day you'll wake up and your favorite villain will have become a hippie, smoking hash with bedouins, curing diseases, and exuding something suspiciously close to charisma but it's hard to tell.
I think what you said about height might be a bit off since you're dismissing the possibility that tall people actually are better at their jobs.

E.g. looks and facial symmetry both correlate with fertility and IQ, probably through the mechanism of mutational load. So you could say, "good looking people make more money" as an example here, but the effect could be from IQ because they actually do go together.

The same could be happening for height. This may be the reason people instinctively are attracted to tall people.

I guess I should distinguish between when I had bluescreens, and when Win10 crashed the display manager saying "your system is low on memory". And only when running on dual monitors, never on the internal 4K display (which oddly enough has more total pixels). The "out of memory" errors led me to upgrade to 32 GB.
Will try BIOS upgrade, thanks.
There is no way to measure (or even define?) "benefiting the field".

For example, women leave the workforce earlier and more often. So we now get less work years per education year in these fields. Benefit? Not from the POV of the person paying for all this education and these services.
Microsoft XPS?
I am with you. It would be better news sites have their own comment system. It's very sad that most US news sites axed their comment section or just include the crud FB comment widget. It's appalling that even sites like IMDb removed their comments and forum. Is this pure incompetence or a war on freedom of human right to speak/write openly? How hard is it to maintain comment section, can't you moderate the comments like it worked fine everywhere for decades? I am more and more the opinion we really need an MySpace successor to balance Facebook. MySpace was always about anon user accounts, express yourself, in internet anonymity, do things you like with people who have the same interests. Facebook is all about real identity, it can create a lot of bad blood and bad mood. It's really cumbersome to use it for anything of special interest like computers (yes nowadays, most just care about smartphones, not how it works) as your friends will see all your interactions and react on it.

See here on HN, lots of insightful comments from anon accounts. What do you get from FB comments section - spam from bots and subjective blabla. Please suggest to your higher up to add a proper comment section.
Except that every single one of these is a problem for MEN too ...

Assignments just don't drop in your lap, you have to go get them. Praise doesn't just materialize, you have to make sure that the right people know what you did--sometimes with a baseball bat. Everybody fights to get "fast-tracked", although I don't really know what that means anymore outside of large companies.

I knew lots of people at IBM, both male and female, who felt shortchanged and I asked them: "So, what did you do to go get on a better project next time?" Generally the answer was nothing. Several of the co-ops complained that they were just doing menial tasks: "Did you ask to do something more important? Did you demonstrate that you could do something more important? Did you complete the menial task well or not?" Generally the answer to all of these were not.

If you don't complete the menial task well, you're not getting something more important--and sometimes a menial task is important. I have often had the conversation with an intern/co-op "Look, the task sucks. But someone has to do it. It's either you or me, and you're lower on the totem pole right now." If you don't do a good job, you're not getting anything better.

And if I'm doing something interesting and important, I'll be DAMNED if I'm letting somebody take it from me.

You have to offend some people if you want to get ahead. And you may have to leave if things don't fall your way. That's corporate life.
Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to ask. Does OP really need 24 bits because they are producing music professionally? In that case, $100 on the i7->Xeon upgrade is a cheap no-brainer. If they are not producing audio professionally, I'm saying they probably can't tell the difference between 16bit and 24bit audio.

Also, you don't cause errors when you compress and decompress using a lossless compression format (as the name sort of implies).

Spectral efficiency(bits/hz or bps/hz), a major thing that determines cost, is similar or just 20% better than 4G.

An alternative is using mmWaves, but those require line of sight, so not sure how useful are those to mobile phones.
I actually miss the days when engineers blogged more rather than accumulating karma on Stackoverflow. When Stackoverflow emerged it was a great source of knowledge but these days you have to sift through the comments to check if the solutions are still current after api changes. For a lot of stale answers github issues can be more helpful.

The benefit of blogging isn't just to broadcast your knowledge but creating a place to discuss the subject and learn something yourself.

I find it strange that this is the top comment on a forum that wouldn't exist if engineers didn't write publicly. This site is curated from a wide pool of writing and and would benefit from more people writing. Whether something is worth saying is a very subjective call and I don't see how your opinion should dissuade someone from writing.
Ask HN: How to implement E2E?
Hi guys! I'm turning to you since a lot of you are highly qualified individuals and are straight-to-the-point kind of people.

Technically speaking, I know nothing about End to end encryption or encryption for that matter. I would love to know more about it but what's more urgent to me is that I was just wondering if there was an API one could use to implement E2E, whether in a chat app, a social network etc ..
The Soviet pattern is reproduced today in places like Iran, where many more women study engineering.

Meanwhile, in Scandinavia, the traditionally-female professions like nursing are even more female-dominated than in the USA.

The trend seems to be: The freer the society, the less women are entering the tech workforce and the more they choose traditionally feminine work.

This even applies in the time-trend in America, where women in tech has reduced significantly since the 80's, while feminism has only become more dominant and wealth has increased.

Food for thought.
The kernel, and OpenSSH to name another project, is full of random crud nobody noticed. Everyone does their best to review patches and ensure things are sane when going in, but there's a lot of change in projects at scale, and sometimes the standards one patch wrangler has are different from another. Mistakes happen.

If at-patch time is your only code review, you've got problems. If your code base is too huge to look over frequently you've got problems.

Network effects especially for the chat function. Most of other functions are easily replicated by by Reuters Thompson, one of Bloomberg's competitors.
Sure you can.... but working capital financing always comes with a cost and typically it's quite high. If you're funding inventory with your own money which is generally cheaper than a working capital finance, you're still taking a hit on opportunity costs.

If you're a small manufacturer with an unknown brand, you may still be forced to go this route to sell your products.

If you're a hundred million dollar brand with consumer demand, you typically don't need to bother being a seller yourself as well and can easily pass on the risk to a distributor or retailer and turn around your cash faster.

Branding often trumps pricing. Most products in the world are not purchased with detailed price/features comparison analyses (soap, cola, food) because our minds would get exhausted making so many choices.
>Things like QubesOs (which I had to Google) are interesting, but I think the general failure of Linux to become a mainstream desktop OS alternative proves that the chances of something like that gaining any relevant degree of popularity are minimal.

Their chances of success are anyone's guess, but it does offer you the ability to run windows in a VM alongside other OSes. I don't know how good the windows support is, or whether it's even a priority for them, but that is probably the best tradeoff that you can hope for in a system that lets you run windows and still be secure (assuming the user doesn't go out of the way to break the isolation between VMs)

I work in conditions very similar to what he mentioned.

I work with several people remotely, have for months, have made paying projects, haven't heard their voices ever (or even seen photos of them in some cases).

Thinking on it, in some cases I literally don't know the person's ethnic background. One of my guys could be black or white or Indian and I wouldn't know. Even his name is a strange three-letter thing I haven't heard before. Huh.

So yeah, you can work like this.
> Soy has carbs, chicken doesn't.

Soy protein doesn't have carbs, though.

I also wonder where the DNA ends up when the soy protein is extracted. DNA is naturally bound to proteins, amnd I don't know if that bond is broken in the extraction process. If it isn't, the concentration of DNA in soy protein would be much higher than in soy beans, so there is a real possibility that 1% soy protein in the patty equates to 50% soy DNA in the whole DNA.

That also means the title overstates the case. It can only confidently make a statement about the fraction of chicken DNA, and adding the weasel word "may" to an unsound conclusion makes it unscientific in my opinion.
Car rental company? Afaik they're one of the big ones in that regard.
And it's not just a UI on some public data - Bloomberg also does some hard core networking behind those screens, up to installing a decent amount of dark fiber into various exchanges around the world to ensure low latency connections between data sources and consumers.

I'm a bit confused about ChainPad. Why use a blockchain here? Wouldn't treedoc be enormously better?

I confess to being a bit uninformed about how chainpad resolves editing being done in the exact same area by multiple people all at once. Treedoc handles this elegantly and with good performance. Does ChainPad?

I'd test myself, but since I lack friends it's difficult to do correctly.
You do realize the irony of your statement. Or do comments on HN not count as writing and therefore not a waste of time?

I would like to know how writing could be bad for you. Please elaborate.
OR perhaps engineers and UI/UX people should be doing the design instead of PMs, sales people, and tight schedules.

Though on the engineering guilt side, add to that dozens of layers of bloat, VMs, interpreted languages, and, "performance doesn't matter, scrum deadlines do" attitudes, and yeah, I bet you end up with 45 second load time for your chat client.
Fair enough... but every smoothie recipe I've seen adds a lot of carbs to the mix either via direct sugars and/or high-sugar fruits/juices.
Soy is an endocrine disrupter in men. Teenaged boys in particular would do extremely well to avoid it.
Are we discussing added sugar? Traditional English bread doesn't include much sugar, if any. (By "traditional", I mean the bread my mum made by hand at home, or purchased from the local bakery. Most supermarkets don't sell it.) Modern recipes add sugar to increase shelf life.

Yes. Bit depth is almost entirely about dynamic range. Run out of bits at the top of the range and you get clipping; run out of bits at the bottom end and the signal disappears below the noise floor of dithering.

For mixed and mastered music, the ~120dB perceived dynamic range of properly dithered 16-bit audio is more than sufficient. If you're listening at sufficient volume for the dither noise floor to be higher than the ambient noise floor of the room, you'll deafen yourself in minutes.

For production use, the extra dynamic range of 24 bit recording is invaluable. You're dealing with unpredictable signal levels and often applying large amounts of gain, so you'll run into the limits of 16-bit recording fairly often. In a professional context, noise is unacceptable and clipping is completely disastrous. Most DAW software mixes signals at 64 bits - the computational overhead is marginal, it minimises rounding errors and it frees the operator from having to worry about gain staging.

You can probably get away with 16 bit recordings for a sample library, but it's completely unnecessary. Modern sampling engines use direct-from-disk streaming, so only a tiny fraction of each sample is stored in RAM to account for disk latency. The software used by OP (Hauptwerk) is inexplicably inefficient, because it loads all samples into RAM when an instrument is loaded.
