No I did not, and that's the issue, a lot of these people are not actually interested in making things any better, they'd rather not be disturbed instead. And then something like what happened today happens. And then people are misdirecting blame to others. The leadership is in most cases to blame.

They aren't the same thing. Universities might have an "interest" in protecting students from online harassment. That doesn't mean a lawsuit alleging the university has a "duty" to protect students from online harassment has merit.

I learned about this project in 2009. It's idealist by nature. It's great, but it doesn't really account for the reality of how politics work.

Good luck keeping that nice living standard by removing competition off the table. Corruption is why we win.

> But we don't want to.

Geopolitics at play, there is so little people can really do about it. Ultimately, people will choose to be able to afford another lollipop to their kid, rather than maybe care about people thousands of kilometers away. We'd rather save 10 cent on the gallon of gas or get marshmallow than let our neighbor have shelter. Husbands will gladly shit in their neighbor's yard just to content their wives.

The intricacies are so complex and people don't really have time to really care at all, but ultimately, at the larger scale, we still are competitive because that's how the first world get comfortable. It's crazy how people can eat organic but won't try to be informed about the middle east and how the world is poor.

I have respect for his project, but it seems to make abstraction of the politics of what he is proposing. It says "beyond politics". You cannot remove politics from the equation. Politics is how the world works.

Redeveloping large, complex systems in anything, let alone "modern open source tech", is much more difficult and prone to failure than one may think.

There are many factors that contribute to these difficulties, but tech is not near the top of the list.

There are many cautionary tales, including the $8-billion FAA AAS system rewrite failure [1].

Contributing factors include

- Regulatory processes

- Subcontracting

- Project management

- Politics and turf wars

- The extreme difficulty of reengineering a complex system when few, if any of the original designers and developers are driving it [2].

So how do they determine whether a user has viewed a post already? I would think that unique counting is accomplished using the hyperloglog counter, but the article says that this decision is made by the Nazar system, which doesn't use the hyperloglog counter in Redis.

Deterministic hash tables
From a Reddit engineer:

"This was a product decision. Currently view counts are purely cosmetic, but we did not want to rule out the possibility of them being used in ranking in the future. As such, building in some degree of abuse protection made sense (e.g. someone can't just sit on a page refreshing to make the view number go up). I am fully expecting us to tweak this time window (and the duplication heuristics in general) in future, especially as the way that users interact with content will change as Reddit evolves."

> (Spark, Mesos, Akka, Cassandra, Kafka), most of which has been written in Scala.

Regarding Kafka, I noticed a large amount of Scala API is deprecated and replaced with Java API in the latest version. There is about twice the Java code in Kafka as compared to Scala.

Mesos is C++.

Cassandra is Java.

So it seems to me Spark and Akka is mainly Scala. And in this field I am expecting Rust to make big inroads with high performance, no JVM like overhead for memory safety, and lately emphasis on async IO with tokio.

It didn't come from nowhere, the current streak of ML achievements rides on the back of deep learning, which is an elaborate pattern matching at its core. What makes Go "harder" than chess is that it's difficult to estimate how good or bad a particular position is, so we employed a "magical box" of deep learning and learned to estimate how good a particular move is. That's pretty good, but let's not forget

- it took a ton of very hard work

- it's not transferrable to other domains per se ("elaborate pattern matching" can be, but it's not even an AI)

- this has nothing to do with qualia, consciousness or the theory of mind.

Programming is not about elaborate search or pattern matching at the end. It's about formalizing a domain, stripping it from some subset of real-world complexity, and inventing a solution to a problem in that domain. A rift between beating someone in Go and deducing a fact that doubles wouldn't do well in financial calculations is immense.

This sort of over-extrapolation of current trends is surprisingly prevalent in the tech crowd to be honest. It's like folks in mid-20th century who saw both airline and car industry exploding and made a "logical" guess about flying cars being the obvious next step. Guess what, physics doesn't work that way and flying cars are a dumb idea. The current AI craze seems very, very similar to me.
Same thought here. Ten years ago the UK foiled a terrorist plot to bomb 6-7 airplanes in flight from the UK to the US. That's the origin of the ban on bringing large amounts of liquid on board. [1] The recent bomb in Manchester was apparently made using peroxide, too.

Assuming they identified a real, immediate, and massive threat, I can see why they would prefer to ground all planes until they've sorted things out.

You are right in that Facebook is not a backup, even if it was a paid service.
But the old age doesn't apply. While we may be the product we are also the client. Fb does have a certain responsibility. Especially when they are encouraging people to user the platform for just what she as using it for.
Ignoring any legal ramifications, it is in fb's best interests to help her because they need people like her. If we assume that we are the product, fb needs to do a certain amount of work to keep the product happy, or it goes away. I'm not saying they have to bend over backwards to help everyone, but at some point the backlash could hurt them... Yeah it probably won't, but it is still good business sense to help your "product"

Well, there's the other interpretation: Such a government jobs program!

I mean, in many cases most of that "huge expense" is going to be salary for the people that manufacture and then dispose of these arms. Of course, that puts the automation of such disposal in an interesting light: the robots are taking our jobs! Admittedly, as in most cases of "robots taking our jobs", these aren't really the sorts of jobs that most people would want to do anyway, but it does change the economic calculus of the whole military-industrial complex.

Did you watch the movie? I'm simply quoting the analysis. They modeled their results by taking the actual plume from a test blast of similar size and overlaying it on the U.S. mainland. So they are working from recorded data, not a model.

Wellerstein does not model a lot of the effects in Nukemap, as he admits.

The fallout issue depends on the height of the blast, the material attacked, etc. A ground blast lofts huge amounts of radioactive material into the upper atmosphere. Depending on the firestorm to follow there is yet another source of uplift.

Low background steel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-background_steel) is highly valued because it is not contaminated by nuclear tests which affect all post-war, pre-1963 manufacture.

Chernoble affected Europe in detectable amounts and it wasn't even a warhead.

Just yesterday I read an article (http://investmentwatchblog.com/a-nuclear-spent-fuel-fire-at-...) pointing out that a fire in the spent fuel storage in Pennsylvania would affect millions (http://scienceandglobalsecurity.org/archive/sgs24vonhippel.p...). And that's just a fire, not a Nuke. If the Nuke hit a spent fuel pool things would get ugly fast.

I admit it might not kill everyone. But it would certainly ruin their morning coffee.

I feel this is highly relevant to this post's discussion.
With algorithms you can "actually" collude without humans conspiring with one another.

If pricing is public humans (or algorithms) can reverse engineer competitors using the public pricing data, the communication channel for that collusion _is_ the pricing data. Multiple parties doing the equivalent of prisoners' dilemma cooperating independently and secret from each other by reverse engineering each others pricing algorithm is exactly the same as colluding in a smoke filled room.
Interesting point, hadn't thought of it in that way. My "logic" was (though not thought through rigorously) something like this, maybe: the plastic may decay more with time and with handling and exposure to sunlight, hence throw the bottle after a week.

Until about 2 years ago I was gold guest list with BA - spending £30k+ a year with them, and sending lots of others on BA.

Thanks, will check out pyshark. I read the same about scapy somewhere, otherwise its interface seemed good (on only a little trying).
It is designed to run in real mode. The NT bootblock probably even loads it as if it was .COM, but it is too large for DOS's .COM loader. The actual binary is concatenation of two files, there is realmode part (on XP SP3 it is 0x4cd0 bytes long, most of which are either zeros or text strings, including the aforementioned error message) and rest of the file is 32 bit PE binary, complete with "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" stub. The PE binary part is obviously somewhat special because it has to be able to switch to real or vm86 mode in order to call BIOS and run NTDETECT.COM, which is valid DOS .COM (from quick look at the code it even looks like it takes command line arguments) except the obvious fact that it does not do any DOS calls.

Edit:
The message in the XP's NTLDR says that it needs 512kB of conventional memory (I think that I've seen the 639kB number on NT4 or 2000) and there is also message along the lines "Windows NT needs 7MB of expanded memory", which is also somewhat interesting given that BugCheck 0x0000007D INSTALL_MORE_MEMORY is defined as "more than 5MB" and the fact that when you boot NT normally on computer with 4MB RAM you get the 0x0000007D BSOD, not the message from NTLDR.

I've found that not only is it good to not assign blame in postmortems, but it's also accurate: The culprit usually is the checks and balances, as mistakes will happen, and the goal should be to have failsafes and detection.

I'm reminded of airplane accidents: Whenever you hear of an airplane accident, it's always some amazingly crazy series of things going exactly wrong to get the plane to crash. We have a tendency to think "wow, what bad luck", but a better way to think about it is that airplanes are so safe that an accident' can't occur unless a whole series of things go very specifically wrong.

A company's goal should be to increase the number of necessary things that need to all go wrong before there is downtime.

I mean, for a movie, just wait a few months and you can download it.

If you don't want to wait, you still have to wait for the next movie to come out, so it makes no difference really.

To say it another way: no matter where you are in the pipeline, you still have to wait the same amount of time for new data to arrive.
What? "We" don't accept anything: strict regulations and processes were put in place to reduce the probability of accidents to the absolute minimum. Did this stop manufacturers and airlines to spearhead this or that new plane? Maybe - very few companies can carry that sort of compliance effort; but it's why the public trust air travel as fundamentally safe (statistically speaking, it's probably safer than cars).

It's arguably much harder to create a copy of a painting that can pass as a master than it is to create a new painting.

There is enormous skill involved in the latter, and yet you could easily belittle concert pianists as 'nothing more than biological player pianos' by your analogy.

It's all unjustified to you until you actually have someone who steals to support their drug addiction, threatens coworkers, commits violence, or worse.

Ask HN: What happened to carbon nanotubes?
Hi,

I recently was led to an old (pre-2010) page describing the chemical properties of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.

That page reminded me of the hype and optimism that was surrounding nanotubes in the '00s (at least in mainstream media) : For a time, they were on the covers of almost every pop-sci magazine, there were even some scifi novels written about the glorious, nanotube-based civilizations of the future. That page alone listed space elevators, 1nm-dense microelectronics and curing AIDS as expected applications (the latter for fullerenes) and predicted nanotube-based electronic components to be available in 2010.

Yet, if you look for info today about current progress on the technology, you find surprisingly little. Apparently facilities for industrial-scale production of nanotubes exist and there are techniques to produce nanotubes half a meter long. But... no one cares? From what I could find, it's used in some high-end bike frames, cosmetics and tennis racquets to slightly improve properties but... that's it?

A while ago, I came across another pop-sci article which already touted the next miracle material (I think long chains of copper atoms) in much the same way without even mentioning carbon nanotubes.

So as I don't have much knowledge in the field, I'd like to ask if anyone knows what happened? Have they just moved to the far right of the hype curve and development continues away from media attention or are there some actual roadblocks that have made the material less promising than it used to be?
