We have been using GPUs with GKE for a while. At some point, we used 20+ GPUs in an production workflow without any problems.

Everything generally works well, maybe except the initial phase when some containers won't port well from nvidia-docker-compose due to problems with Cuda libraries. Ideally, you need to match the version of Cuda everywhere.

My dev setup for quick experimentation with GPU docker container on GKE: https://tensorflight.blog/2018/02/23/dev-environment-for-gke... .
The change.org petition had 850 signatures over the year or so before the article was written - it is up to 1150 now.

Side note - change.org has an interesting UX there - roughly they replay the last ten minutes of sign ups as you visit the site (so I went twice and saw the same people "sign up"). It gave me a real sense of momentum the first time I went ... had to readjust as I realised.
Use of unsafe Rust in actix-web
US Patent and Trademark Office today issued the 10 millionth utility patent to Joseph Marron and Raytheon, for Coherent LADAR Using Intra-Pixel Quadrature Detection.

The numbering system dates back to 1836.

Doing what? All I see is the Wikipedia article for the TLD.
> Once zero-rating is commonplace, efforts to undo it will be more politically challenging than the previous net neutrality debate.

Only while anti-trust remains as crippled as it is now. In practice zero rating kind of violations should be blasted with classic anti-trust, not with specially crafted net neutrality rules. So may be fixing anti-trust should be a priority.

To be clear, I'm in support of strict net neutrality rules, but they are often a fix for a symptom, while the root cause is actually anti-competitive abuse that runs amok because anti-trust is doing nothing.
Finally a John Carmack post that isn't on Facebook! Great read too, can't wait to see more.
Interesting from a technical perspective, sure. Absolutely terrifying from any other perspective.
You know I was just thinking earlier today that one thing really missing from my life, which I’d be interested in spending disposable income on, is a gadget offering a steady source of shallow and poorly thought out debate on a hundred or so topics of general interest.
As a type 1 diabetic myself I'm highly skeptical of the claims. There is wide consensus that most people with type 2 diabetes could reverse it if they changed eating habits and exercised more. In fact many do! Those that don't could possibly profit from a surgery. But that's admitting defeat really.

I sure hope for people who undergo this surgery do see an improvement. I just hope they got briefed on how they could try without it before having their stomach mutilated. This article does a very bad job of it. As if the surgery were a miracle cure.
Vimeo only accepts content that it deems "artistic". Way back in 2008, a site called stage6 shut down, at the time it was the only streaming site that allowed 1080p videos and was the go to site for video game content creators to upload videos. After it shut down many of those users tried out vimeo since they were allowing 720p videos compared to youtube's 480p. Vimeo then deleted the videos and disallowed the content. For a period, things went back to direct downloads instead of streaming, but youtube increased quality and the content shifted over with it.

Edit: Apparently vimeo reversed its position in 2014. https://vimeo.com/blog/post/new-upload-rules
As a service that runs on Heroku I'd pay around $25/month. that'd be $25/month * 2 (stage+prod). At the bootstrapping stage i'm at now, that's what I'd pay. If I were profitable, I'd pay up to $500 - $1000 a month and happily so, figure out market segmentation so that I'd be forced to pay that much. I would probably run around 1000 jobs a month, which seems like a number that would put me in a higher pricing range. This service would be super useful for around 60 jobs a month even. Output from the jobs would be tiny, maybe 10k at most. I would be happy if output was saved on private S3 buckets.

I guess the big point is, I'm looking to use this for regularly scheduled jobs, not just as a queuing service to spread load.

My email is in my profile if you want to get in touch.
I understand Posthook may not be the best solution for everyone's scheduled tasks. It seems like for that project you had the expertise, time, and risk tolerance to set up that one DO server to handle all your needs. Other developers may be in a different situation and may find Posthook useful.

> How much would it cost to do 3 million requests per month?

If you want to use Posthook to schedule 3 million requests a month please email support [at] posthook.io and we can work out a special plan and support contract. Do keep in mind that background jobs and scheduled jobs are two different things and what I aim for Posthook to solve are scheduled jobs. I suspect a big part of those 3 million were background jobs.

> Also how would you set up custom retry policies?

The retry policy is fixed at the moment but it seems like this a common request so I want to roll that feature out soon.
Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
Lack of willpower perhaps?
Probably neither -- I'd wager that Electron's popularity among web-centric companies is due to the prevalence of JavaScript programmers in these shops. With Electron there is no need to hire anyone new (or eat the cost of programmers retooling) to roll out a desktop app.
So eg. if telco A says a call was 8 minutes long and telco B says it was 15 minutes - what kind of smart contract / business logic decides how long the call was?
Copyright in the EU must balance interests of content creator and recipient
Thanks.
* Clicking areas is straightforward.

* Not familiar with the data set you mention but so long as it's mostly documented it should be okay.

* I've never tackled the idea of a hierarchal map even with vectors so I don't know - with the right data, the bit I'm most concern about is the transition from one data set to the next.

* Coloring regions is straightforward

I don't have spare time to do it but am happy to help if you get stuck.
I'm on macOS and unfortunately it doesn't seem to support many of the native platform's hotkeys, nor does scrolling work with a trackpad. But it's still a really impressive feat, hopefully they can continue improving on it!
Facebook's ad revenue per user is something like $5 a year: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/02/facebooks-revenue-topped-5-p...

Presumably their per user costs eat up most of that. That means that having any human manually do anything for you will almost certainly cost more than the value you bring to them.

Ad supported stuff generally cannot provide customer support, excepting perhaps paid customer support, which people tend to find horribly objectionable.
> /me looks at Wikipedia page of Kevin Systrom

>> Net worth: 1.6 billion $

Net worth of Mark Zuckerberg: 75.6 billion USD

> I think I'd be okay with being Kevin Systrom. (Especially considering that Systrom is mostly unknown in the general public, whereas Zuck has a large amount of people who personally hate him.)

I would probably make the same decision as Systrom, given the opportunity, but I don't think everyone would. Some people would rather be the new tech titan rather than the guy who sold himself out to keep the old tech titan in power for another decade.

There are also other motivations a found may have to not sell out to Zuckerberg. In my original comment considered including the WhatsApp founders. They both made out handsomely, but their creation will be corrupted to fit Zuckerberg's privacy-free vision rather than their privacy-preserving one.
Facebook generally doesn't sell user information directly. Unless, you sign in to someones website/app or fill out a lead form.
Compiler hints for data dependencies between groups of instructions sounds very much like the mistake that sank the Itanium. What is different this time around?
I can see why the opposite might be valid, if you recently lost someone the last thing you want is argue with Facebook that yes, that loved one is indeed dead.

Probably needs some better rules but that part needs to be as painless as possible
Yes, I've read all that stuff. But it is a step in the right direction. What happens if everyone does? Then who can they show ads too? They grew fast and they can shrink just as fast...it's happened before. You got AOL? Yahoo? Using Netscape much these days? Played with your Atari in the last few years? I'm sure all these companies thought it would never end...but it did. Facebook will too.
Yeah, when running on a specific browser version targeting a single OS.
Well, isn't that what a ledger is, a transaction log?
Well, the article does have the link to the registry:

the situation reminds me of 1950's American cars in Cuba, or the situation with MacBooks and other Macs. replacement is so expensive, some people just repair the product themselves.

is it necessarily a bad thing that, for some products in some times/places, people find repairing their own products the best option?
for that you can always create a marketplace of marketplace of marketplace ideas.

cross-compiling isn't the major issue. It's the toolkit. Yeah a cross-compiling C/C++ environment is fairly straightforward to do especially if you just want to do a commandline utility that can be done with the C or C++ standard library. But having any sort of GUI toolkit (such as Qt).
It's a bit of a stretch to call it a contract I think. Terms of service may in fact be a contact, but IANAL, but calling it a contract might imply that there are things to be gained on both sides. If a contract is no longer providing value for one of the contractees then it is fair, and should be provisions for such, to renegotiate or terminate the contract.

I do agree that they are abusing their position, but I don't agree that they shouldn't be allowed to act the way they are acting. Are they being unreasonable? Maybe, but it's not my, or your, place to decide that.
This feels more like a show HN, so I'll treat it accordingly.

The main image has to go. The two sides of the image don't line up properly and the effect is quite jarring.

Location based apps like this always disappoint me. I remember Color. When I first heard of it, I was so excited. I love music, had a few festivals ahead of me, and it just seemed like a perfect app. So, I installed it, tried it many times, never saw anyone else and gave up.

And, knowing what I know about marketing, honestly, it's hard to get excited enough about an app like this to even install it. I'm often an early adopter, but with these apps, if I'm too early, I'll likely never use it again.

It's tough. In theory, it's such a good idea and I suspect it could work as a white label networking app for conferences. But as a mass B2C product, honestly, I wouldn't even try it.
