skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
A C/C++ program can go through that amount data. You just have to use a simple divide and conquer strategy. It also depends on how the data is stored and the system architecture, but if you have any method that lets you break that data up into chunks or even just ranges. Then spin your program up for each chunk across each node or processing module that has quick access to the data your processing. Then take those results and have one or more threads merge results depending on the resulting data. I guess it also depends if this a one off job or continually if you would want to do this.

Assuming the locality of data is not a big issue. It can be extremely fast. However, depending on the system architecture reading from the drives can be a bottle neck. If your system has enough drives for enough parallel reads you will turn through data pretty quickly. Moreover from my experience most systems or clusters with a few petabytes have enough drives that one can read quite a lot data in parallel.

However, the worst is when the data is referencing non-local pieces of data. So your processing thread will have to fetch data from either a different node or data not in main memory to finish processing. This can be pain since that means either the task is just nor really parallelize-able or the person who originally generated the data did not take into account certain groups of data may be referenced with each other. Sadly, what happens here is that commutation or read costs for each thread start to dominate the cost of the computation. If it's a common task and your data is fairly static it makes sense to start duplicating data to speed up things. Also restructuring data can also be quite helpful and pay off in the long run.
I actually agree with almost 100% of this. The EU should pass laws however they want according to whatever legal framework they want. And companies wishing to do business there should comply. I still think it’s a poorly written and vague law, but perhaps that’s just my distrust of bureaucracy speaking.

My real issue with the law is primarily that the EU thinks that it can assert that it has global jurisdiction with regard to the GDPR. This is so undemocratic and dangerous, it boggles my mind that fans of the GDPR can’t see it. Just because you like the intent of the law doesn’t mean you can admit that it goes too far, or sets bad precedent, or is likely to be abused.

If Saudi Arabia passes anti-blasphemy laws and says they apply globally if a citizen of theirs visits your website, should anyone care?

GDPR is being taken seriously by firms with enforcement exposure. My hope is that every other organization in the world just ignores it. It’s a dangerous precedent.

And then there’s my issue with the fans of the law who will read the above and come back with the vapid response: “well, if you’re not going to comply then clearly you’re shady and I hope you do go out of business.”

The underlying principles of the EM druve are very straight forward, easy to understand, and don't violate any laws of physics. The momentum and energy of photons emitted from the antenna (or any antenna) do not exert a reverse force on the antenna or EM drive. All that's occuring is orbial ANGULAR momentum/energy are transferring from the excited atoms in the antenna into generated photons. The exited atom lose energy/momentum as they release photons, the photons ofcourse gain energy/momentum and ultimately transfer it again to a surface on the drive.

Photons are not classical and do not "launch" themselves of of an emission surface. (see more detailed response below)

No mystery, no quackery, just basic physics.

Once you make that realization the anxiety can cause a loss of motivation.

I know you're publicly directly messaging, but as an outsider to the discussion, I don't see any actual mention in your posts why D isn't included. Just that it "used to be."

There are many of benchmark projects that include D and don't appear to be struggling under any kind of massive burden. For example:

https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks

What are your actual reasons for not keeping D... "scala... and Clojure and ..."? The results in the previous link show D as a massive competitor (sometimes 1st place beating C and C++) on both memory and speed. Wouldn't the purpose of benchmarks be... to highlight useful, highly-scoring languages? Isn't that one of the primary reasons people read benchmarks?

(The D implementations are also often smaller in lines of code, as per this benchmark project:

Oddly enough, one of the selling points of Bitcoin Gold (a hard fork of Bitcoin) was its use of Equihash instead of SHA-256. The idea was that a memory-hard proof-of-work function would inoculate Bitcoin Gold from miner centralization.

The problem with mining centralization is that sufficiently powerful miners can attack the network by rewriting blocks. This opens the door to double spending.

This was exactly the attack the article described.

It appears that Bitcoin Gold's decision to use Equihash led to this mess. The algorithm is used by several other coins. Hardware optimized for this algorithm can therefore be used with equal ease to mine on a network or attack it.

Bitcoin Cash may be headed for a similar fate. It retains SHA-256, but is a minority chain in terms of hash power. A powerful Bitcoin miner deciding to perform double spends on Bitcoin Cash would have everything needed to do repeat the Bitcoin Gold attack.

BTW, a similar attack recently occured on Verge:

https://blog.theabacus.io/the-verge-hack-explained-7942f63a3...

It's possible that any altcoin that becomes sufficiently valuable will suffer similar attacks to the ones that have now taken place on Verge and Bitcoin Gold.

The same people arguing for trusting the Government for currency (the people that say "wasting electricity") are the same people that are also trusting the Government to solve the climate problem. They have obviously failed at the latter - no price on carbon, which ironically would resolve their complaint about the former since "wasting electricity" is code for "contributing to climate change" which is . not priced into the energy production economics the Bitcoin miners choose.
Sure, and I know it's mostly scaremongering, but "4% of zero, or 'up to 20 million euros'" is up to 20 million euros.

A better motivator, in my opinion, is that disclosing up front what data you're going to capture, and what you're going to do with it, and obtaining consent for that from users - is "the right thing to do". Unless your business model is "fucking over the users", those are not scary things to do, and will likely lead you to make better decisions about what you collect and how you store it, and reduce your and your users exposure in the worst case.

Suppose that it takes $50 of energy to find a hash at current difficulty. Transaction fees are at $50 (in BTC). I can offer miners $51 for their hash power, but they might be suspicious. So the other thing I can do is confirm transactions for $49 in fees, which I'm calling underbidding. This will drive miners out of the market.

Agree.

Not very long ago there were a bunch of articles posted on HN about how ML and deep neural networks produce knowledge, without humans being able to explain all the steps or any of the steps, and asked the question if this knowledge is still good.

The GDPR answers this question for business decisions regarding humans: No. It's not good enough. Your business is absolutely allowed to use ML for business decisions, but if a person asks how you reached that decision, you can no longer hide behind the machine, you can't treat it as some kind of oracle in a black box that spits out correct answers without any human knowing how the mind of the oracle works.

And I think that's an important foundation to have going forward. It's like how math tests work, you can't just print the correct answer, you have to show your work as well. Because the alternative is a dystopian "the computer is never wrong" future, and that's gonna suck for everyone.

Oh yea, I forgot one of my main reasons for not "switching horses" can also be applied to this spell. In the past, when a project reached the un-fun stage, I would convince myself another idea was better, and switch horses, or in a different case I got a job instead. In both cases I regretted not continuing on, and occasionally remind myself not to do either of those mistakes this time. Good call with that.

I still maintain that letting the assets come in and leave on a different blockchain within 24 hours is akin to a “RTFM” level mistake.

If exchanges are enticing arbitrage through insanely quick setttlement and clearance times on the order of 2 hours after closing a position, they are just playing with fire.

If there wasn’t an actual trade, just transfering in and out, not chaining the transactions is similarly RTFM.

If the facts are as I understand them, I think the exchange bears a significant portion of the blame.

It’s like the story a couple weeks ago where Deutche Bank accidentally approved a wire transfer for $35 billion dollars.

First of all, are we talking about manufacturing or trafficking? Because fentanyl is legal medicine, used by hospitals. It isn't illegal to manufacture, use, or export when complying with controlled substance laws. What's there to prosecute?

There were some shady outfits that sold to individuals online and those should have been shut down if it was so easy to establish a link, but usually it goes through many hands long after it exits China. Like guns and "Made in China" goods, it's a supply-chain phenomenon that the source manufacturer happens to be in China. Doesn't mean China controls the whole trade. Obviously if the sale is in China for illicit uses there is a lot more big brother tracking and when found out the draconian drug regime there applies. You're reading non-existent things into sensationalist news stories.

Last year, China went along with the DEA to ban the manufacturing of some synthetic variants in illicit use, so they're helping if anything. They didn't have to even talk to the DEA when it's the DEA's job to crack down on drugs on the home turf where the real problem is.
