Just a reminder that research basically found that “catch up on sleep” doesn’t really work. Bodies are astonishing machines, capable of adapting to the most extreme conditions, but they do work better when they can repeat the same routines day after day.

As a fellow 6-hour-sleeper, I think modern society makes it a bit hard for people like me. The reality is that my body wants to sleep in 3-hour cycles, and doesn’t really appreciate doing three cycles in a row, but it still wants to sleep about 8 or 9 hours out of 24. That would work fine in past ages: wake up early, tend to animals and fields, then have a mid-day nap - at a time when it’s too hot to work anyway (at least where my genes mostly come from). Then get back in the game, do social stuff, and be at peak awareness by dusk / early evening, when the danger of common violence gets higher.

These days, when the dominant culture is clearly more “northern” in nature, one is still pushed to be an early riser, but to then do all work and social activity in a continuous chunk, no napping allowed. Because I sleep only 6 hours per night, after a few days I’ll be tired. The only option I have is to go to bed absurdly early, wake up after 6h, do some work in the middle of the night then go back to bed. That’s very antisocial in nature.
"Mark my words, Berlin will be Europe's Silicon Valley within a few years."

Doubt it. Lack of professional attitude. Disastrous politicians. 3rd tier universities. Lack of capital. Large underclass, big welfare spending.

It is very hard to set up a "silicon valley". The silicon valley had and has some very unique points, including military origins, if I remember right. Germany still has a strong and broad industry, which is lacking in most Eastern and Western European Economies. This is an advantage (try to do a non-software technology start-up in a country that does not have the suppliers and partners, then you know). In the end it is extremely unlikely that EUrope will achieve something similar than the Silicon valley.

Yes, Berlin once was a scientific, cultural, industrial and technological powerhouse. These times won't come back.

The more interesting question would be, can China manage to create a new silicon valley? I have my doubts.
> Many organizations are providing the same services and could easily adopt a common “API.”

It's not in the interest of those organizations to adopt a common API. Everyone wants to suck in data and be the platform; nobody wants to give data away.
Blue light filter Glasses VS Softwares VS Screen protectors
Hi guys,
I wrote a massive article about blue light filters.

Maybe some of you may find it useful :)

https://iristech.co/blue-light-filter-glasses-softwares-or-screen-protectors/

Which is best, blue light filter glasses, blue light filter software or blue light filter screen protectors?
What should I choose?

TIP: Be careful when choosing a Screen protector. Some of them may be a scam
But does it not make sense for Google to remove their dependency on Nvidia?

Plus could they do the new text to speech at a competitive price using Nvidia Silicon?

Google approach gets you a better result but the computational requirements would be huge compared to the traditional approach. You have to get the compute cost down as far as you can.
I wonder, do the authors have a reverse engineering background? It seems like a lot of concepts from reverse engineering were applied to the JIT compiler, which I find incredibly cool.

I'm just mentioning that containers may make implementing & deploying microservices easier and thus a more popular solution.
This looks really interesting!

Wonder if it could be integrated into the whole OS/kernel, and if it can help with typical ML workloads like running a randomforest in scikit learn.
These panels as-is have such a short lifespan you'd have to replace them on a daily basis, and the efficiency appears to be several orders of magnitude lower than PV, so this is not remotely close to being cheap. Maybe this line of research will lead to an actual usable technology a decade from now (and by then battery costs will have come down enough to make hydrogen make even less sense than it currently does), maybe it's a total dead end. It's certainly not a breakthrough right now.
It's really eye opening to read something like, knowing it was written in 1971:

> It is not unusual —although a mistake— to consider the programmer's task to be the production of programs. (One finds terms such as "software manufacturing", proposals to measure programmer productivity by the number of lines of code produced per month etc., although I have never seen the suggestion to measure composer productivity by the number of notes, monthly scribbled on his score!).

47 years later, a lot of people still measure programming productivity by LOCs. Hell, even major freelance marketplaces try to track your every billed second by taking screenshots of your desktop or webcam "just to make sure you're working".
Also worth noting is that a bit of searching found this connection between Boeing and Lexington Institute:

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/lexington-institutes-w...

"The Lexington Institute, in fact, is the one receiving money from a narrow corporate interest — Boeing."

EDIT: The only reason I looked for this connection was beacause the GP article was nicely written, long, and detailed, while the Lexington Institute seemed fluffy.
Google is the leader on AI algorithms. Where GANs and Capsules and so many others came from for example. So things change and Google can implement in silicon far earlier than anyone else as needed.

But right now they have what they need.

BTW, I would be curious on the TPU 3 design considerations to better support dynamic routing with Capsule networks. I suspect creates different memory access patterns and where the big power savings are at today.
But what to buy instead? The only option seems to be an iPhone. Or is there an android vendor with longer support?

Take a moment and ponder what would happen if you hooked a trailer full of racing shells up to a 14-passenger bus, tossed a set of keys to the assistant coach of the crew team and told them to get to the Charles river.

Yes, better restaurant suggestions is exactly what will make Maps more competitive. /s. The Valley Filter Bubble(TM) rears its ugly head once again.

Just giving people an "I don't know the area, please don't give me a route with a million steps and rapid fire turns when there exists an alternative with a fraction of the complexity that only takes several minutes longer" check box would differentiate them from every other consumer grade route planning software and make using maps for a route in an unfamiliar area (example use case: picking something up on CL) or when driving something bigger than a SUV in a dense city way less stressful.

A little warning that "this route contains under-height structures" (the location and height of which is publicly available) with a little icon on the map for each one would probably reduce the number of rental trucks, motor-homes and mini-buses that get can opened by an order of magnitude or two.

There's a lot of little low hanging fruit but reducing the number of routes your route planning software sucks at isn't as sexy as trying to predict what restaurants people will want to eat at.
That sounds deterministic (last used first shown) but also unpleasantly surprising given your particular use patterns.

I have to make a small apology here. Only cygwin is supported on Windows and there was once a useful error message but it died during recent development. This week I've been working on Windows console app support (think: cmd.exe, powershell) and WSL support. Then at the very least you would get a cmd.exe session by default.

For Windows users though, the shell integration stuff is only going to work with WSL and cygwin because anything Windows console based doesn't use or pass VT style escape codes, thus I can't extend the protocol there. This may change in the future as the MS console team is working to add more support for VT and unix style terminals. Making Extraterm into an SSH client itself is also an option for Windows but I've having trouble gauging how important a feature that is and whether it should get some prio.

>As other have pointed out he's ignoring key failings of SOA and critical differences between SOA and microservices.

Can you describe the fundamental differences?
True! Although I think that's more of a byproduct, rather than something designed into the system at the moment, and I suspect we could do better with designing it. For example, I doubt many shops have those imprint machines any more.

I also think the tech debt is holding us back a long way. For example, why can't I see itemised receipts in my card statement? Paper receipts are on their way out, email receipts aren't linked to anything or structured data, but being able to see that I've spent $120 on shipping with Amazon in the last 12 months, so a Prime subscription would make sense, would be a great sort of financial tool to have. That isn't possible in the card network at the moment.
Now that you mention it, this super advanced AI project sounds like a failure of software standardization rather than a triumph of technology, lol.

> Conversational English is a format.

And as you said, format isn't enough. You need semantics.

If two applications know enough about the other side to know how to formulate their voice queries, they know at least enough to exchange those same queries as text, and skip the stupidly wasteful text->speech->text process.

(And if world wouldn't be so full of adversarial practices driving engineering stupidity, the developers would agree on an efficient binary format beforehand.)

It's a payment service. Who gets motivated about payment services? If you're doing something cutting edge and flashy like SpaceX then you can probably get 100% of your workforce to be motivated about the issue. For everyone else you're gonna have to deal with the fact that most of your employees are there for the paycheck. The company isn't their baby and they're also not the ones who are gonna turn into a billionaire if the startup makes it big.

As for the affect on the business if the employees don't use their own product, why do you think the company should force their employees to use the product instead of using the opportunity to figure out how to improve the product so that the employees want to use it?

For a website where the general consensus is that the government should stay out of the way and most regulation is authoritarian, there's quite a lot of people who don't have any concern when it's a corporation exerting the same sort of pressure on people

> It's far better than JSON schema anyway since you can enforce whatever custom validation you like.

IMO, the value of JSON Schema isn't that you have no validation that exists outside of JSON Schema, the value is that you can front load a TON of the validation into it, and share that vocabulary between your services. If you publish a JSON Schema about your endpoint, I can read that or feed it into tooling to produce a form to consume it. As someone working on the Elixir JSON Schema lib currently, the places where we COULDN'T express the validation with JSON Schema were often more interesting.
Thanks for this summary!

Pure speculation, but one possible benefit of dramatically reducing the on-chip power requirements would be allowing larger areas of the chip to be active for longer periods of time. Most of the area of a cpu is inactive during execution, or they would melt...

I use Google maps to get directions - usually for public transit. And then I use it to tell me where a coffee shop is at my destination.

When I'm on the bus I use Google Maps to tell me how close I am to the destination bus stop. It's not great for this. You have to really zoom the map in to get the bus stops to display. And the GPS positioning isn't great - often it'll show me travelling through the middle of a field rather than the road I'm on.

They are also moving right into the most radical left-wing area of Berlin, perhaps Germany, SO 36. When the protest there will die out, there won't be any other, and this seemingly unstoppable gentrification will just continue as elsewhere and the lower class will be quietly pushed further out to make way for the global tech class.

Perhaps that is what it is on a philosophical level, a new class is being born and asserts itself and creates its own living space and gentrification is the tool that makes this happened (global tech companies are just another "innocent" manifestation of this). It segregates them and us and just like all former classes also preferred to live segregated and monocultural.
John Carmack has the authority and position to actually make changes to the product. In what company beyond the 30+ person range does a random employee have any ability to just go up and suggest changes to a product and have a reasonable expectation to see the change happen? Maybe their reason for not using the product is the lack of some feature that doesn't even make sense for the company to ever implement. Are the employees supposed to suffer forever in their personal lives because of who their employer is?

Being from CoreOS, I understand your sentiment. Part of our long term integration goal with OpenShift is to try and package up all of its components as Operators that can be optionally installed with our Operator Lifecycle Manager[0]. This is the software that powered Tectonic's Open Cloud Services. In addition, we're rolling out an installer based on the Tectonic installer. The end result should be an installation process similar to Tectonic and Kubernetes cluster running very few services, until you decide to install additional Operators for the functionality you want.

Thanks for the response! My immediate question after I read the article yesterday was on the future of Fedora (and RHEL) Atomic.

Both you and the press release mention that CL will be supported for a while, but it's not clear what's going to happen with Atomic. My entirely unscientific and feels-based opinion is that Atomic seems to be getting a little more traction in the Workstation/SilverBlue area at the moment. rpm-ostree is really unique tooling, and I'd hate to see it go away; the more I use it, the more I like it!

At any rate, the market share of CL is probably substantially greater than that of Atomic, but there are those of us who are rolling out k8s clusters based on Atomic. It would be nice to know sooner rather than later if we're wasting our time!
> While the real system of Anarchism is not really about destruction of property, but collective ownership of it. It is about destroying the institutions which control our lives, not physically but ideologically and practically, so that it is the people who are in control. Not unelected elites with masses of unseen power.

This is true but its also true that violence (and being maligned for being violent) isn't a new occurrence for anarchism. There were plenty of strands of anarchism that felt violence and other illegal action was justified in order to achieve the aims you set out.

This kind and volume of automation pervades written digital communication now, and has already been creeping into voice communication (scam calls and robodials).

Google bans botting against its own services, but can realistically only ban the botting it can detect. If you can detect NN voice botting, you can ban it for your own communications as well.

And if the technology to detect or tooling to effectively filter that doesn’t exist? Sounds like a great business opportunity.

You can send samples. E.g. the USD/EUR rate (or the price of an equities future) if it changes by more than x within the last 50ms. The difference of that rate to the "local" rate in London is enough to generate the trade. Same with equity indices. You'll know that if there's no movement, there's no opportunity. So it's enough to send a signal if there has been a significant move that's "young" enough so that the other side can't know it yet.

Your trades only make money on the difference of the public information in London and what you get faster from Chicago. Therefore sending trade instructions isn't helpful as Chicago doesn't know London prices. But just giving the London algorithm that bit of inside can help a lot.

I assume trade strategies are mostly very simple as well. Basically just anticipating a change in price and quickly buying/selling to make some money off it.

N.B.: I only talk about Chicago->London here but given that Chicago hosts one of the largest Futures markets, I'd assume a lot is actually done in reverse. Using local prices from London of an underlying instrument (e.g. London stock market) to "predict" the value of the future traded in Chicago. You can make a lot of money if you know the price of the underlying instrument of a future before others do.
