The problem is less of scheduling and more of communication. Typically all nodes will run (facilitated by a program like mpirun or mpiexec) the same executable which will be launched simultaneously in each OS. This is done inside a job scheduler and the resulting host list results in a defined communication pattern.

By the way, even systems completely across the room may be "close" to each other, depending on the topology of the system. You can imagine this being important for solving a physical system which is periodic in certain dimensions, so there should be little interconnect distance between physically-distant nodes.
Agreed, dynamic linking is unfit for users who:

I'm going to highly recommend looking at drives with WizTree, which does a very fast display of what's taking up space based on parsing the MFT rather than scanning the entire drive.

You may find that there's a massive amount of data where you wouldn't expect it, such as in the Windows Temp directory - if so and it's a bunch of files named "cab_something", you can kill all of those and prevent recurrence with a little housekeeping.

We’ve been burned by long download times not only to transfer from a remote cloud, but related to IOPs requirements when transferring tons of small files. Now in each DC, we keep a day or two of backups on several servers loaded with Enterprise PCIE with 40Gbps NICs to reduce that issue. Curious to know the # of terabytes needed (or if it was more of an IOPs issue)?

It probably is true. And it might surprise you, but papers leave things out all the time... Even things that can be calculated. Shocking, I know. And that wouldn't be in the paper anyway because the Fermi Paradox & Great Filter is not hard science but still half philosophy.
In 2002 or so I had a dream. I was touring the new, modern, internet-connected home. Decor could be changed with the touch of a button because most of the home's surfaces (walls, cupboard fronts, etc.) were OLED displays that could display any texture or color of the user's choosing.

As I was touring this home of the future, there was a hack of the smarthome servers. And then it appeared--goatse. Goatse everywhere. On every wall, every cupboard front, every countertop, scaled to cover the entire surface, was goatse. It was horrible.

So much for the home of the future. Now you know why I distrust smarthome technology.
Oh, I see. I was thinking of mouse selections, which (in Linux anyway) will instantly make whatever you selected with the mouse available to X.

As to selecting text with the keyboard, Emacs at least does some magic to make copied text appear in the X primary selection. I personally find this more annoying than useful, as it clutters up my primary selection with random junk I've beeing editing in Emacs. So I personally prefer to only send the text to X when I deliberately call for it, by sending the text to the "xclip" utility as needed. It's possible to use the "xsel" utility as well.

I'm not sure what is the advantage of putting the terminal in to the middle of this process. Why can't applications just send whatever text they want to X by using xclip or xsel?

Pasting in to the terminal is another matter, of course, and I can understand the usefulness of being 8-bit clean and using base64.

One of the result is less and less “true” residents. That’s what is happening with airbnb, where some people prefer to move away and dedicate their appart to tourism, even if it’s only for part of the year.

Or restaurants and other services used by everyone get tourism focused, and while money flows in, quality of life goes down.

I think that’s one case where money doesn’t solve the issue (provided it’s an issue to solve, some might argue)
If you truly find no food, fat - though less so. Your body can live for a little while off your fat stores, but with no proteins it will eventually start to break down.

I’ve seen 6 weeks cited as a typical life expectancy without food. Even on a starvation diet, that’s not long enough to lose the minimum 100+ lbs an average adult would need to drop to reach a vaguely healthy weight.

This paper [1] suggests that 6 weeks of starvation would result in less than 40lbs of weight loss.

Immunity is the standard problem for most vectors for gene therapy. Viral vectors have neutralizing antibodies, liposomes get eaten by macrophages, and so forth. Minimizing this issue to the degree needed for a therapy to work is the subject of a great deal of effort over past decades, and ongoing today. It isn't a solved problem, but there are many incremental approaches that, when combined, can let therapies work well enough given good engineering and good fortune.

Not quite.

Tuners can be cheap or they can be expensive depending on the features you want. I don't think Broadcom's full-band capture tuner, which IIRC is basically a 2GHz ADC, is very cheap. It allows things like pre-tuning to adjacent channels which hastens channel changes. Security on set-tops is a big issue(as well as on OTT devices but STBs are crazy) and that may increase costs. Legacy interfaces like cable cards(no longer needed) increase costs and development time. Cable box SoCs(usually from Broadcom) are beasts and also not cheap. They support things like HDMI in and out, transcoding, multiple video streams(for Picture-in-Picture), etc. They are not in the same league as a Chromecast.

Don't forget about software. A lot of the stack is custom and needs teams of people working year after year to sort-of get it right(STB software is generally horrible). Each MSO(cable company) requests specific changes and customizations(beyond just branding).

Now that's not to say that you couldn't design an IPTV system which uses something like a Chromecast. This is often done and the hardware can be cheaper. I think it stresses out the network more vs, say, a broadcast design where you're dealing with a massive asymmetrical content delivery system which is just pushing the same bits to everyone. It's probably much cheaper to setup a cable headend for 250k+ subscribers than it is to make a IPTV system for the same number of people.

A TiVo box is basically equivalent to a modern set top box(give or take...DVR vs zapper, for instance). I would start with that to get an idea of what a cable box should cost.

Source: 10 or so years in the STB industry. I left because the industry is dying.
In my career, the worst outages (longest downtime) I can recall have been due to HA + automatic failover. Everything from early NetApp clustering solutions corrupting the filesystem to cross-country split-brain issues like this.

Admittedly, I don't recall all the incidents where automatic failover minimized downtime, and probably if a human had to intervene in each of those, the cumulative downtime would be more significant.

But boy, it sure doesn't feel like it.

The comment of yours that I replied to explicitly mentioned jailbreaking, which is not the same thing as "additional software sources." I'd like to see Apple allow users to install signed apps from places other than the App Store, and I suspect that protecting revenue is the main reason they don't. But I'm not particularly interested in jailbreaking, even though I'd like to see functionality that iOS doesn't currently allow.
Ask HN: “Multi Page App” design/architecture/advice?
For context, I find SPAs overrated, over engineered and complicated as hell to manage for 99% of the projects/businesses that use them. Let's leave them out and let's leave out any specific languages/frameworks.

I have built a solo side project that makes $XX,XXX/MRR and it was done with a very popular server rendered web framework. I am in the middle of building a second solo business, but this project requires quite a lot more performance and after building a prototype using the previous web framework, I have confirmed it would be difficult (ie, expensive) to scale to meet the needs of the service I am building.

I have built my own "multi page app" solution from the ground up with another language/technology that far surpasses the performance requirements. I'm at the point where I'd like to learn more about multi page apps from the fundamental level so I can ensure my multi page app solution has a solid base (security, performance, reusability, etc). Therefore enabling me to use and reuse it for all of my businesses going forward.

I'm having a hard time finding solid resources that discuss security, architecture and other considerations for "old school server rendered pages". I'd like to learn a lot more so have a very solid base for my project and future projects!

Are there any good resources out there you'd recommend?

For Assistant devices (Home, etc.) You can record (and get transcripts of) any requests made sent a Google Account you control, which can capture personal information.

For Cast targets, you can stream content to them (audio and possibly video, depending on the device.)

Netflix or Spotify is probably not the worst unwanted content you could stream into someone else's home unrequested.
Exoplanet atmospheres can be studied by the transit spectroscopy method. This is how water has been detected, for example. Still no oxygen or any other signatures of life. Lots of hostile atmospheres, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_atmosphere#Ex...
In my mind it's a pretty gross violation of the principal of least privilege[1]. All it takes is one bad IoT device on your local LAN to exfiltrate/pivot over to the Hub. Some of the data that's dumped is things like "noise levels" which borders on sensitive PII information. Not to mention any vulnerabilities in these services that aren't understood yet.

For all those reasons and more the IoT stuff on my local network goes into a VLAN that only gets to see the gateway and nothing else. No local UDP, TCP or the like, the Ubiquiti gear I picked up a while back makes it pretty trivial to setup.

> So yes, you could make them play loud music, or make me miss my alarms.

Isn't that bad enough? I would be fairly pissed if someone do that. If someone hijack my device in the middle of night and start streaming loud music, I would be pretty pissed.

Maybe not so much for alarms, though (As current design, if network goes out, alarm won't sound, so better to have backup anyways.)

I'm mainly questioning Google's decision of why they designed the device to scream out loud "hey I'm here, and I can be hijacked!" while sporadic outage of the internet is not that uncommon in residential setting where it is mainly targeted for.

And remember, those devices (especially Google Home) are capable, and often used to capture more than a directive of streaming media. Asking for your schedule, making a phone call, etc.
You can cache the results of an rmd cell, and you can also share the rendered version of the doc first. You're right that there's a higher emphasis on "run the whole thing," and I think that that's a conscious (and acceptable) design choice vs not being sure that the shared doc will run as provided.

> Are they roku-sized now, or just huge mostly empty boxes?

I haven't seen a new one in a while either, but the last time I used one (at a relative's house IIRC), it was the same-old, same-old:

A box about the size of a DVD player, a bit larger (smaller than a VCR, though), mostly empty inside. Usually if it's a DVR, there's a hard drive, and the board is mostly a computer, generally running some kind of embedded proprietary closed-source RTOS. Occasionally you'll see linux, android, or some flavor of Windows CE. Beyond that - yeah, empty air.

I know that some of the very simple cable boxes are about the size of a Roku, but I don't think any of them are like a Chromecast (that is, usb drive size).
I'm using it for root for years. Stable, but slow. Still much faster than NTFS or Apple hfs+ though. zfs needs to much diskspace for my taste.
This made me think that it'd be interesting to see a variant on Space Invaders where you play as the invaders - you would write a little program that takes the state of the world and determines the next move for each invader and play against an AI cannon.

We were wondering if this could be used for iPhone scams. It's a dead-simple way to apparently fatally & totally destroy in a deep & non-diagnosable way a pristine iPhone which will however (probably) reverse itself in a few weeks. It seems like this ought to be exploitable somehow. Something like get a new iPhone, helium it, return it for a refund, and somehow hold onto the phone... Couldn't figure out how it would actually work, though.
From the article:

> Without a clock, the system stands still. The CPU flat out doesn’t work. The clock is literally the heartbeat of a modern device.

Plenty of processors run without an RTC, but they all need a stable clock source (some do generate it internally, but they still need it)
The hijack described takes them off the local network, but IIRC Home will only control devices on the same network, unless you—after you hijack it—you have access to connect it to some other service that controls the device, which requires already having the control you want to use the hijacked device for.

Why doesn't everything like that (affecting operation of the google appliance) require a preshared secret that's negotiated once per remote device via:

- pressing a button or some other physical presence confirmation on the google device when a remote network device tries to gain credentials (Best!)

- NFC (good because of range limitations, but annoying because of range limitations)

- some kind of audio handshake (hackable from longer distances maybe extending beyond property boundaries, but so is bluetooth, and maybe with multiple mics a device could detect a higher-powered long-range hack attempt and filter it?) This might be the best option other than a physical button-press. If the confirmation signal is to hit the mic gently, can you even mimic that remotely through glass or a wall without doing something that would possibly deafen any bystanders? Seems a reasonable good compromise between ease of use and range limitation.

- bluetooth, especially if power can be programmatically decreased to limit range to short-distance line-of-sight (obviously the normal bt range is a problem, but it's better than nothing)

This is a solved problem, is it not? You only have to do that once, per remote device that needs to use the API. What's the problem with requiring a physical button press to trust a new device that's attempting to do something?

Interesting, though I don't totally see how deep learning would be similar. On deep learning, it is my understanding the weights are learned from the data. These are effectively constants, and represent logical rules.

So in essence, the rules which relates input to output are learned from the data in deep learning.

In nearest neighbour, the rule wasn't learned, we figured out the rule ourself: "use the nearest data point's result".

But in deep learning, the rule might be something like when feature x and y are between z range of each other and etc. And this rule is not defined by us, but by the weights which are learned from the data.

Effectively, deep learning thus learns the rules that define the relationship between input and class. But nearest neighbor is just a static rule that happens to be pretty general in essence, so it gives okay result for a lot of problems.

Not an AI expert, so take all this as my simple current understanding.

Do you think it's worth it over the entry level MBP considering the difference in the CPU?
I'm not sure that's true.

If you displace 30% of the atmosphere with helium, the O2 concentration drops from 21% to 15%. That's low enough that you'll probably start to see mild cognitive impairment, but it's still plenty capable of supporting life. However, a 30/70 mixture of helium and air is about 67% as dense as normal air, which means voices would be pitched more than half an octave higher.
Does that mean your instances are sharing the same underlying infrastructure as real government customers?
