What could he, as an outsider, possibly have written to a bank that would let him determine whether Gox was solvent?

The simplest answer is "nothing," but we're meant to believe otherwise.

We could go through each item on that list and try to reverse engineer which entity he wrote and what he asked, but this indicates he isn't being straight with us. That's fine; it's his right. But it's a little odd. If someone performed some badass investigative journalism that could've blown the whistle on the Gox case long before anyone knew about it, who wouldn't want to brag about it after the fact? Especially when it'd be so easy to illustrate the steps taken.

We're talking basic questions like "What did you write?" and "What did they say?" But we're meant to guess.
- Dumbing down the implementation ... Most tools like tf, keras, pytorch are heading that way .. but still there is a bit of expectation from engineer to understand insides.. the future of AI depends on ability of every engineer to use the techniques without the learning curve that is right now.

Please don't suggest - use of APIs
they ain't cost effective and the future lies in ability to tweak things on your own.

- Also availability of DL libraries across different languages and stacks. Yes there are methods but they need an extra effort to get working. At this moment to learn AI you first need to either learn python, R or matlab.

The future of AI lies in its applications. And it can only happen through experimentation. If you come across a possible application, it shouldn't take you an year to really start experimenting.

I recently took a road trip from CA to NY and back. As soon as I got out of CA, people were obeying the "left lane is for passing" idea -- except Vegas.

I spent weeks in highway driving bliss with pretty much everyone obeying this rule. Then when I came back, and hit CA, I was immediately pissed off at traffic -- nobody was following this rule. But at the same time, the traffic is usually so bad it makes this rule meaningless, so I think we just forget about it after a while.
After Stripe switched to iframes for payment forms, I am very happy to see this. Trying to wrestle a iframe credit card field to have same fonts and error handling as other fields in a form is a really annoying workaround considering how nice the plaintext tokenizers in the past were... Knowing that credit card fields might not be in our forms at all feels very cool
As bad as DRM is, EME is a good step towards killing Flash. And because of that, Netflix needs a replacement, and the studios aren’t just going to remove DRM requirements because Netflix says they won’t support DRM. I’m almost certain that if Netflix tried to remove DRM, the studios would balk and pull their content.
Eclipse OpenJ9's -Xgcpolicy:metronome is one of those GCs. Depending on how you well you configure your operating system, it defaults to 3ms pauses along with an application utilization contract.
Waaaay too low thrust to be useful. Those kinds of engines work best in space for long-range missions, where their ability to keep low but constant acceleration for long periods of time means you can reach high velocities with little fuel. But for takeoff and landing, you need high thrust, because you're fighting gravity - hence chemical rockets.
I understand, but still I don't want to maintain a thousand separate tools that basically do the same thing: block websites.
Cool! Bare-metal would be the killer feature for me to adopt this for my usecases.
I live in India. Many people have launched UPI based payment apps. Even government launched an app called BHIM. It is really good. UPI is a really good concept.

The problem: None of these apps is used by most of the vendors in cities. Except for Paytm which is available with many small vendors in cities. They used the demonetization period to heavily market the app by going vendor to vendor singing them up.BHIM is really good but government needs to work on its marketing. They can use college/school students everywhere to do the same. JIO has granted access to fast mobile networks to common people. We need to teach people how to use these apps.
Two quibbles I have with this argument:

1. PoW based on waste which has massive negative externalities is abusive. Power generation generally has large negative externalities. Bitcoin kills.

2. PoS is just another type of PoW - people will compete to earn the PoS rewards up until they are "burning" 0.99 worth of potential ETH they could have earned (with stocks or bonds for example) for every 1 ETH they earn through PoW. The difference is, PoS has nearly 0 negative externalities and is funded entirely through capital which was created out of thin air, namely, ETH. The capital required to fund BTC's PoW comes externally. So switching to PoW is a capital-creating act and naturally increases the value of the currency & network.

I didn't know about CoreML, thank you for mentioning it. I googled for it and found an analysis at https://www.infoworld.com/article/3200885/machine-learning/a...

It addresses the part of running the neural network locally, plus adding local training data. Collecting inputs for the neural network is obviously left to developers and it could be as hard as the rest.

So technologies like CoreML will be part of the solution but not all of it. Maybe we'll get there.
That wouldn't explain my sister's.
FYI, the guy you're replying to is the author of bcache and bcachefs. He's pretty familiar with the tradeoffs of the "simple" solution you refer to.

Fragmenting when you have a partial block invalidation lets you avoid an immediate and costly read-modify-write cycle (both in terms of performance and write endurance). But storing metadata to keep track of those fragments does provide some write amplification of its own, and the eventual garbage collection is a pretty big source of further write amplification. And this requires a non-trivial spare area to keep write amplification under control and performance high. And doing all this on top of an existing flash translation layer that's already doing the same thing makes it even more complicated, and it means you might not be saving anywhere near as many media writes as a naive analysis would suggest.

New SSDs are starting to allow for application-layer hints about data lifetime, in order to allow for the SSD's flash translation layer to do a sort of generational garbage collection. This actually does provide a big reduction to write amplification (and improve performance) beyond the baseline that you get with a traditional SSD with or without a filesystem that tries to be flash-friendly.
Yes, but that doesn't explain why all the computing we are doing should spend less electricity than light. I bet I can run all the light in my apartment for 24 hours and don't use as much energy as when I'm playing a AAA 3D computer game for an hour.
Unless the farm buyer is a citizen of Australia, doesn't it bother the average citizen that foreigners can buy businesses, and property?

Plus--doesn't Australia worry about nutrient depletion of their farm lands for food sent overseas? Once those nutrients are gone; they are stuck with buying nutrients/fertilizer forever. Plus--it's an island, with I imagine limited farming land?)

Yes, in the USA we let anyone basically buy our land too. Want a house--just pick up the tele. I don't feel it's right.

I'll probally get hammered for this post, but I just don't get it.

Plus--we can't own squat in most of these emerging countries.

Couldn't you say the same thing about tax in a (what we usually describe as) capitalist system?

In any case, companies grant privileges as well as obligations - e.g. limited liability, and they can outlive any of their employees. It's a trade-off; if you don't like it, you van always do business as a person, then noone can take that away - but you also don't get these privileges.
I've not seen a non-trivial project which doesn't require at least one package outside of the repo, or an updated version. And then you either have to run your own repo and packaging process. (Been there, done that, not fun) Or mix sources. (noooooooope) Or just switch to pypi completely.

Even if you can work with that, you need to sort out differences between your destination system, test system, and all of your developers machines (who most likely run Mac, not your server Linux flavour). Sure, there's still docker, vagrant, etc. But this means slapping more and more layers just to make the same packages from the same source available.

And unless you want a "works on my machine" environment, you can't just leave developers to do whatever and use a different system in production. A home brew, limited system will just result in shadow it, which will use pypi unless your solution is much better and easier to use (and allows fresh versions to be imported)

I've been doing this stuff for years in big projects. It's not easy.

Somewhere between 5-10% of NZ farmland and forestry is owned by foreign interests. That's not just China, but all other countries, of which Australia is a large investor in NZ. A large amount of this land is owned by super funds.

Fonterra has an 84% market share in the dairy sector, Fonterra is a collective, owned by the individual farms.

Now, the Chinese are building milk powder factories exclusively for export to China, and owned by Chinese companies. But they are employing local people, and constructed by locals, they aren't staffed by Chinese, because the hassle of trying to get a factory worth of workers immigrating to New Zealand isn't worth it, when you could just as easily pay locals. At the end of the day, you can't pay Chinese workers less, because there is a minimum wage.

The suppliers to these factories are independent dairy farmers, there's little vertical integration here.

In the end, these plants grow the economy and create jobs. Sure, in an ideal world, it would all be NZ owned, but nobody wants to cough up the cash here to build more plants.

New Zealand is a small country, it has always relied heavily on foreign investment and ownership, and always will. The population and economy is too small to do it any other way, NZ has to turn to globalism in order to have a healthy, functioning economy.

> Most "serious" users reformat the machine and re-install the OS to get rid of the OEM included crapware.

And then you get all the fun of running around the web for random drivers, navigating the OEM's and third parties websites to find the multi hundred GB driver package that reinstalls the crapware. That's if the OEM site will let you download the drivers of course, I've run into a few where it wasn't possible.

the best way to do it: don't require memory reclamation in your design.

I coded a lock free IPC interface from standard C to C#. Luckily in my case the data I was moving originated on the stack. So all I do is copy from stack to shared IPC buffer and obviously keep using that same buffer until exit.

HOWEVER, if you're competent enough to handle raw threads and lock free design to begin with, you shouldn't have the slightest issue with queuing up your calls to free(). My workstation is old, but I still have 6 cores/12 threads @ 4.2 GHz. That's more than enough headroom to have a dedicated GC thread that has zero effect on performance, and a barely noticeable effect on memory.

Proper concurrency is not that difficult.
OP is talking about a bare-metal world where you might care about things like:

- how many instructions execute between an interrupt trigger and your vector getting executed

- if some piece of data is getting stored in text, data, or runtime space (harvard v single address spaces can make things weird)

- minimizing or not using a stack to avoid clobbering your puny memory

- other misc. things that even hardware vendors don't make easy (or sometimes possible) to find

Honestly I don't think that even C is great for these things, but I mostly blame hardware vendors/architects for this situation. They all like to roll their own standards for documentation, language interfaces, etc. Sometimes it feels like a competition to see who can come up with the worst.
You specifically chose a large dependency with many sub-dependencies, so yes, that will happen. There's also the risk of installing an outdated, unmaintained dependency.

Do a little research — check the package's npm page, assess whether it's too light or too heavy for your use-case. Check its github page to assess whether it's currently maintained (and how important that is for your use-case). If you're unsure, look at similar packages and/or peruse the source code.

It only takes a few minutes and you'll have much greater confidence because you know you picked the correct multi-byte-string-length-calculating dependency for your use case, not the naive implementation which is 100x slower (for example).

Ask HN: Where can you ask Stackoverflow questions but for money
I feel a bit bad about asking this question here for free, but is there a version of Stackoverflow where I could offer people money for answering?

I have a dumb question about a popular PHP framework that I seriously am not able to Google. But I also cannot ask the question on Stackoverflow because I have no reputation (or points or whatever) to offer. Plus I would probably get slain by the mods for asking a dumb question.

I'm not looking for a subscription service, just a place where I could offer 20 bucks or so for answering a single question, kind of like Bountysource.
Debian security are very good at their job indeed, however so many of the packages are so old they’re not usable, furthermore Debian doesn’t enable SELinux by default and has a number of policies missing which significantly weakens the average deployment.
This reminds me of an airport in Radom (Poland). It was built few years ago, because it was an opportunity to get some money from EU (and for local politicians to get some bribes :) ).

For the first two years airport was unused - the only airline that signet contract got bankrupt. Currently it has another airline operating and serves 10k passengers per year.

That's what happens when EU starts giving away money.
I didn't say it's a bad change!

But since you raise the issue, there are downsides: Many programs developed on 3.7 will inadvertently break on pre-3.7 Python versions. As we know, this is a big thing on parts of the Python ecosystem because users frequently rely on the Python version that come with their OS or framework (eg AWS Lambda), and many developers want to stay compatible with the most common platform-shipped Python versions.
You've misunderstood the story. Petrov didn't defy high-level Soviet goals in the name of humanitarianism: the goal was to fire back if fired upon and _not_ to fire back if not fired upon. Petrov's achievement was making the right judgment call that the US had not actually fired on Russia (i.e. that it was a detection anomaly or something). Given that he wasn't deviating from the high-level goals handed down, I don't see why an AI would be different in that regard.
I think you're right in this case. The ransomware authors functioning similarly to the state. If i couldn't access my computer I would have to buy bitcoins with my other assets.
Mainly concerns like access control, and auditing for internal projects. If we're going to package for Nix, we need to host those packages internally somewhere, and access to that host needs to be audited/monitored. Access should be limited to developers and forbidden to non-engineering staff, etc.

It works great in theory and even in practice to a degree, but there are endless chronically impoverished neighborhoods, cities, regions, and nations where it didn't work out that way. The wealthy locales tend to stay wealthy, and the poor ones poor.

i think it's very unlikely. Keep in mind the genesis of the current round of AI algorithms have largely been enabled by 1) the easy access to parallel computing (e.g. GPU, clustering solutions), and 2) large amounts of ingestable data. The truly spectacular AGI will emerge when you can do "one shot" learning. With the exception of zero-shot translation (which is a phenomenal result) we haven't seen very much along those lines.

Complicated People in IT and how to get them right?
OP hasn't necessarily joined 2000+ channels, their company has 2000+ channels, it's a similar situation in most companies I think…

I work for a 200+ person company and we have approximately 800 channels, maybe 20% of them are work related, the remaining channels are noise. There's a channel wherein some people in the company pick up on grammatical and spelling errors of others in the company and post them for others to laugh at, there's another channel for the three people in the company that think they know latin to make the same Monty Python joke (Romani ite domum) over and over.

For the current project we're working on, we've put in a no robots rule into the channel (no Git/Jira/Travis notifications) and when one of the higher-up managers in the company decided to join the project channel and make two joke-like comments which added no value to the project, we had the project manager remove him from the channel.

Slack has over-casualised our company, for work it sometimes works well, for distractions it almost always works too well.
