I don’t believe vendor lock in has much to with the failure in the adoption of SLI/Crossfire. Lack of support for most games to take advantage of it and issues with games that don’t support the protocol are the main problems.
I have found magnesium helps me, but I think just because I was deficient due to general nutritional deficiency (I can't really eat anything due to some digestive dysmotility). My legs were feeling weak and knees burning, and I was having problems getting decent sleep. Magnesium supplementation seemed to help with both.

As far as my other issues, and in the past when I ate food, celiac tends to result in malabsorption of many nutrients, which probably contributes to symptoms.
Go is just a language. Surely any language can be used to enumerate network resources, tickle an API or twiddle some counters.
I'm pretty sure they are not. From https://blog.openai.com/openai-five#differencesversushumans:

>OpenAI Five is given access to the same information as humans, but instantly sees data like positions, healths, and item inventories that humans have to check manually. Our method isn’t fundamentally tied to observing state, but just rendering pixels from the game would require thousands of GPUs.

WebGL is still pretty much hit-and-miss, you might have hardware that runs perfectly fine OpenGL ES 3.x native games and then for whatever reason browser vendors blacklist the GPU/OS combination thus running as if software rendering was being used.

And as 3D creator it is not possible to check for this, so people get to the page and dismiss as not being worthy their time.
Ya, but the fact that his research is still thought at school, his textbooks are still used as material, and that I'm not seeing an openly acknowledging crowd of newer psychologist going: "Oh ya, we know about the methodoligical flaws in Zimbardo's research, and today's research is completly different, way more rigorous, and no one uses his data points for anything serious anymore..." makes me worried there's a pathological trend in the field.

Which is why I openly asked for people to reassure me I'm wrong to believe that the science of psychology is bogus. I've yet to see any data point or argument to reassure me by the way, I've only seen people be dismissive or point that I shouldn't generalise like that. The latter is true, but also doesn't mean my hypothesis is not correct.
2. Sell only inside your region

I wish this was possible. Any time I list an item, it doesn't matter if I mark it US shipping only, and no matter how many times I put in the description that I ship US only, I get flooded with people from other countries asking, "How much to ship to {$nation}?"

After a while I got tied of telling them I don't ship to wherever they are, and just told them that international shipping rates are listed in the description. (Which they aren't, just the note saying no international shipping.)

Then I just started ignoring the bombardment.

Then I just stopped listing stuff on eBay.
It's my current understanding that recessions are caused not by economic news, but by the people's reaction to it's apparent demise.

I feel like they are priming the pump with stuff like this...I guess it's time to hit the flush button on the Dow and suck all that "buy-n-hold" money outta the market, and start the cycle all over again.

Cynical? I guess but I call it like I see it.

I always thought Watson Health would be like a smaller spin-off product that wasn't influenced too much by IBM. T

Given all the expectation of its product and the importance of ML/AI, it makes sense this was impossible.

No, not really. I think more people see the value in not eating meat every day, which I think is a good thing, both for your health and the environment.

Going completely away from meat for the long term, isn't ideal for your health (for most people) and so I don't think it's going to become very popular.

This along with meat being such a big part of culture on top of the health component means meat will stay around for the forseeable future.
I don’t think that will change the math for most game developers since the SLI market will still be tiny. Every serious engine already optimizes for specific GPUs already, and Vulkan won’t change that need.
I'm afraid I don't have a link to one — but I'd certainly love to see a piece that focuses on Google's portfolio. Even better would be a bigger, more comprehensive project that compares Facebook's patents to Google's, qualitatively. Both companies stand apart from the rest of the tech giants in their possession of enough personal data to exploit these patents — it would be fascinating to see if a trend or a significant difference could be discovered in the types of personal surveillance they're describing.
You nailed it, I'll pick up the technology, but then get stuck in some silly bug which I can't find the solution to and abandon it after getting frustrated.
Right now we'd have a hard time getting someone to the Moon, but there don't seem to be fundamental laws preventing us from building generation ships.
> I would like to be proven wrong, so if there is some IC experts who can explain the business case where someone invests $300-$500M to develop new top notch open source microarchitecture (patent free?) every 5-10 years that can compete with Intel, AMD and others, I would like to see it.

To develop an open-motherboard marketplace where code can be shared openly between motherboard designers. Or maybe even "daughterboard" features.

You know, like OpenPower / Power9. Where additional boot-level capabilities (ie: OpenBMC) are open source and standardized and documented.

https://openpowerfoundation.org/presentations/openbmc-a-refe...

-------------

A practical use of this, is to have the BMCs of servers report status (IE: power, temperature, etc. etc.) in a secure, open, and extendable way. BMCs also have the ability to act as a remote terminal, such as a serial-over-ethernet port. These sorts of features have security concerns that Open Source / openly-vetted code would at least make some people feel better.

We're talking about a component that has the ability to remotely reboot, remotely attach keyboards / mice, and virtual terminals at the hardware level. So yeah, security is pretty important.

While it is really fun (I went a bunch of times and it was enjoyable every time), I think the pricing is so exorbitantly high that it doesn't compare. There are other things which I really love doing that I could do very extravagantly for a tenth of the price. I wish that was hyperbole.

This is simply not true. There are unsolved engineering problems and not just risks.
> The same goes for everyone working in the cloud; I've build my own clusters to compare the effort and expense (rather than just accept the marketing line) and running one's own servers, from one to hundreds, is exponentially more cost effective than any cloud service.

I have servers in the data center and in the cloud, and I can say that the line "is exponentially more cost effective than any cloud service" has so many caveats attached, it's not even worth debating.

Simply put, if all you are doing is comparing running X servers in the DC and running the same servers in the cloud and that's it, yes, the cloud will be more expensive. This is why no cloud provider recommends simply doing that.

Common Startup Pitch Mistakes
Can you please run us through the upsides of normalizing and supporting dehumanization and torture?

This is the first time I’ve read that conduct legally ruled cruel and unusual punishment and used by authoritarian regimes around the world is actually a loving act of kindness, so I’m very curious about how youve reached that conclusion.

In the same vein, do you also believe victims in abusive relationships that the violence towards them is their fault, and that their abusers are doing it out of love?
In all seriousness, Factorio is predictably _extremely_ addictive. I highly recommend beginning either on a long holiday weekend when you have no other obligations, taking 1-2 days of time off, or just not playing it at all.

I honestly don't necessarily regret the time I've spent playing Factorio because it is legitimately fun, but it will claim a very high priority in your brain for quite a while once you pick it up, and will push other things out of the way.

I took a dose of acid so large that I had to curl up under my bed sheet for the two hours of the peak.

Once the peak left and I could again walk around and brave the sunlight, I realized I was ravenously hungry. I grabbed a grapefruit and began devouring it.

More than halfway through the fruit's succulent sectors, I felt overwhelmed again as if the peak had returned and had to seek darkness for another twenty minutes.

Most drug interactions are hard to detect. Do I notice if the amphetamine is hitting 15% harder or weaker than usual? Or if I'm focusing 15% better or worse? Not really. Feels arbitrary to try and measure it.

But re-crossing acid's threshold immediately after exiting it was the hard evidence I needed to believe in what always sounded like highschool folktale.
On a bit of a tangent from the core content of the article and the discussion here, I take issue with how easily even the smartest of people will take one example of a phenomenon and extrapolate the frequency(or replicability) of said phenomenon. All we really know about life, as we define it, is that it's possible to occur, because we're here, but we don't have any actual information about whether we're a fluke or an unknowing part of a greater community of intergalactic life. Pointing to billions and billions of stars and saying "there must be life out there" is unfounded at this point because we still aren't even close to understanding exactly how life came to be on Earth, as well as why it happened when it did. What the equation of predicting life is missing is the variable of time; without having at least two examples of life occurring independently, there's no way that I'm aware of that we can come up with a useful probability of life occurring anywhere. That is, unless we can create simulations to test theories outside of real time, which will probably be a required next step in science for getting a better understanding of our universe.
It is as simple as the C code, whether that is simple or not.
Windows 95 was a marvel of pragmatic engineering. While it won’t win any awards for purity, it did a great job of delivering real value to people while still allowing their old programs to run. FAT32 was a major part of that.

IMO one of the key values of exercise (when it comes to losing weight, at least) is mental. Sure, maybe I can eat more calories in a spoonful of peanut butter than I can burn in an hour of exercise ... but the exercise makes me feel healthier and more willing to stick to my dietary goals.

And let's face it, losing weight only comes down to calories in vs calories out when you look at it biologically. In reality it's 100% a psychological problem.
It's talking about shooting yourself in the foot, but doesn't blame the victim. For me, it's one of the better cultural changes in software development in the last five years.

Wow, very excited about this. I don't know too much about RL, but for me the "170,000 possible actions per hero" seems far too large an output space to be feasible. What happens if the bot wants to do an invalid action? Nothing, or some penalty for selecting something invalid?
Encryption is irrelevant if the third parties (google, facebook, apple, etc.) are willing to give up private keys or data in response to requests or secret court orders. The same is true if the devices you own contain backdoors or exploits specifically designed for or not-fixed for the NSA.
Its quite a bit more complicated than "bootloader" might make it sound. From the mailing list:

"The original boot chain on the SiFive FU540 looks like this:

MSEL (ROM0) -> ZSBL (ROM1) -> FSBL (SPI) -> bbl (SPI/SD) -> Linux

Where the individual pieces mean this:

MSEL: The "Mode select" ROM, consisting of a register that represents
the state of four pins on the chip, and six instructions, which
jump to the selected boot device or ZSBL.
Fully documented (with an instruction listing) in the manual.

ZSBL: The "Zeroth stage bootloader", several kilobytes of code in ROM,
which parses a GPT header on SPI flash or an SD card and loads the
next stage.
Short, high-level documentation in the manual; I haven't seen the
source code.

FSBL: The "First stage bootloader", where interesting things like RAM
init happen.
High-level documentation in the manual; I haven't seen the source
code.

BBL: The "Berkeley bootloader". Its most important role, as far as I
understand it, is to implement the SBI.
The source code is public.

See also chapter 6 (Boot process) of the FU540-C000 Manual[4].

With the unfinished coreboot port, I want it to look like this (although
a lot of work has to be done on coreboot first, and I'm currently not
actively working on that, for a few months):

MSEL (ROM0) -> ZSBL (ROM1) -> coreboot (+bbl?) -> Linux, or
MSEL (ROM0) -> coreboot (+bbl?) -> Linux

ZSBL can be skipped, so you don't need to run closed source ROM code, at
least as far as the hardware is concerned.

(And note that this is just the situation on this particular SoC. Other
SoCs from SiFive or other vendors may boot differently.)"
Yeah, gathering evidence not admissible in court really helps the investigation find evidence that is.
No worries man, I feel you 100% on the low entropy problem of nutritional info out there. It’s a travesty. How anyone without at least a bio minor is supposed to make heads or tails of this is completely beyond me. Not to mention all the actual research is locked up behind paywalls, so if you don’t know about scihub you’re just sorely SOL.

Madness, I tell you.

Good luck and have fun with the intermittent fasting :)
Solar thermal that stores energy in molten salt sounds like a cool technology that can drastically reduce the need for batteries. You could probably set up large solar thermal plants in the Sahara and power Europe via HVDC lines without needing many batteries.
Cool, would the source code for this available in github? Thanks
This comes at a perfect time for me, because I've been working on an application running on MongoDB and although I can get away without transactions, they would help significantly.
A lot of the operating cost advantage will disappear when attempting to use an EV as an Uber vehicle, though. Most EVs cost more than an ICE-powered vehicle and take longer to "fill up" when at the end of their range - so, for large portions of a day, you will have a more expensive asset deprecating in a parking lot as it charges its batteries.

I'm not sure that this is enough to actually make an EV more expensive to operate than a traditional car as a Uber vehicle, but I do think that it's worth pointing out that the workload of an Uber vehicle is enough to move a car out of the operating window that is usually used to support statements like "EVs have half the per mile operating costs as an internal combustion vehicle".
In the case that the data is being stored by third parties (google, facebook, apple) or insecure devices then it's also irrelevant if the data passes AT&T's network or not.
No. I play games during my commute all the time. I'm explaining why it is not more common in the US.

The automated diaper changes are real. Once you can do it all in darkness (or near darkness) yours hands just learn all the movements and you get it done so quickly you are back in bed and asleep very soon. Sleep still gets disrupted to some degree (you can't drop straight back into interrupted REM), but much less than you'd think.
One thing we can be sure will _not_ be different is the irrationality of human nature.
haha, mentioning RDS and SQL in a mongodb thread.

I actually witnessed that once when a customer (and mongodb user) had some man power from an agency allocated and one of those guys mentioned RDS. I wasn't impressed.
Does it really qualify as "news" any more when there are layoffs at IBM?
Please correct me if I’m misunderstanding, but at least for 3ds Max, Blender, Maya, their Python integrations make this sort of thing as simple as launching the proprietary Python interpreter (mayapy.exe, maxpy.exe), with consideration of a few limited proprietary details. I think Python is just very well suited for this.

I found this article from Saturday worth the read, as it explains what Docker actually is, and why no one needs it: http://catern.com/posts/docker.html.*

Not sure I agree with the conclusions. A bunch of OS-specific alternatives don't compare as I see it, but regardless, for me the value of Docker isn't the filesystem trees alone but the tools that then leverage them; compose, swarm, etc.
What's the estimated cost of a project like this?
Depends. Amazon CA and LE are new, there's another big one on the way. If your WebTrust audit passes and you can demonstrate you know what you're doing, I see no reason to. Cross signing for a new CA (so you work in old browsers) is about 2M on the open market.

> a secret police

The term "secret police refers to intelligence, security or police agencies that engage in covert operations against a government's political opponents" [1]. We have no evidence the NSA is "used to protect the political power of an individual" or even political party. They're an intelligence agency, purely and simply.

It only reveals IBM's problem with AI if you were at any point under the impression that it was something more than marketing for them and watch actual market signals.

The audience that gobbles up their ad campaign during the Masters that touted their "block chain" logistics probably wouldn't even notice that they had layoffs at Watson health.
These breathless "now fear this" articles aren't worth reading. Furthermore, the quality of the NYT is so low, that it isn't worth reading, either.
Every country in the world does this. The German's at least are open and honest about it.

Quantum computation changes the complexity of brute forcing common encryption algorithms. It seems very plausible that actors are storing high value encrypted messages for future decoding in case QC enters the realm of possibility.

Ask HN: What's going to happen if/when the tech bubble bursts?
Every week there are a few articles claiming we are in another tech bubble that is about to burst. I would normally dismiss these claims unless they show some supporting data (which they rarely do) but it got me thinking.

I work for a small (between 10 and 50 people) software consultancy company and I wonder what would happen to us if, indeed, we were hit by a recession. Would we start working with (arguably) more stable enterprises, rather than with startups or other small businesses? Would we just go bankrupt because of the decrease in demand and increase in competition (especially with Asia or Eastern Europe)?

Do you think I should start worrying and learn other skills that would be relevant during/after a financial crisis or should I keep focusing my efforts on software development?

Also: is it a matter of "whether" it's going to burst or "when"?
Algeria turns off its internet to keep students from cheating on exams – CNN
Yes and Microsoft profits were rising at the same time the web, iPhone, Chrome, et al were eating out its foundation. Bell Labs invented VoIP; AT&T or Verzion could have built Skype at any time. Xerox and PARC. RCA and LCDs. This sad story repeats itself continuously.

That's the whole problem with the innovator's dilemma and why so many people look up to Apple - one of the few companies able to cannibalize an existing product line in pursuit of the future. Mac & (Lisa/Apple II), iPhone & iPod.

It is extremely rare to be able to see the future coming, time it correctly, then undercut your current extremely successful product line while you prepare for the change. Everything in business school 101 screams "NO!". Managers are paid to optimize returns and the current business.

Ben is 100% correct about Intel's history. They clung to their identity as a DRAM company and it almost killed them. This time they're clinging to their identity as an integrated processor company when most of the world wants fully or slightly customized SOCs. Intel directly passed on the most lucrative mobile SOC business (iPhone). It is unfortunate that Intel missed this second opportunity. Maybe new management can pivot, but whoever it is will only have about 90 days to make the change.*

* You typically have about 90 days where you're still an "outsider" who can proffer opinions on problems with current practices. For management this is also the best time to make sweeping changes since most people will be willing to jump on the new direction. IMHO after that you have to spend a few years building credibility to get things done without people ignoring or sabotaging you.
What Well-Known Founders and Investors Think About Cryptocurrencies?
Is Watson a codebase? Or is it just a brand?

It seems to me that Watson is basically just IBM's version of AWS/GCE services (at least the non infra ones). But it gets thrown around as a buzzword so often. The marketing makes it look like there's a single AI codebase that can be accessed through a bunch of APIs, but I would be very surprised if that was actually the case.
