As of 6.5, the Elastic Stack ships with a logging app and an infrastructure monitoring app out of the box in Kibana. They are both new, so expect a bunch of new features im 6.6 onward.

The docs have more info about both: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/infrastructure/guide/current...

Asimov in "The Caves of Steel"; Earth has a huge population that lives in huge cities, therefore it needs powerful computers as it has to track/police its massive population. Asimov guessed in 1953 that computers are a surveillance tool!

"R. Daneel came to his desk with a sheaf of papers. "And those are?" asked Baley. "A list of men and women who might belong to a Medievalist organization." "How many does the list include?" "Over a million," said R. Daneel. "These are just part of them." "Do you expect to check them all, Daneel?" "Obviously that would be impractical, Elijah." .... Baley said, abruptly, "How did you get your list?" "It was a machine that did it for me. Apparently, one sets it for a particular type of offense and it does the rest. I let it scan all disorderly conduct cases involving robots over the past twenty-five years. Another machine scanned all City newspapers over an equal period for the names of those involved in unfavorable statements concerning robots or men of the Outer Worlds. It is amazing what can be done in three hours. The machine even eliminated the names of non-survivors from the lists." "You are amazed? Surely you've got computers on the Outer Worlds?" "Of many sorts, certainly. Very advanced ones. Still, none are as massive and complex as the ones here. You must remember, of course, that even the largest Outer World scarcely has the population of one of your Cities and extreme complexity is not necessary."
How does Tor rely on honest exit nodes?
Good question! I've always wondered what would be required (in terms of equipment and raw materials) to make those reagents, I'm really curious to know how those get synthesized to and the level of purity/quality required for a successful sequencing run.

They were trying to demonstrate that this field uses no rigourous empirical methods, and that the reviewers and editors apparently have no knowledge or understanding of how to check for bias or even validate empirical data that's presented. The hoax authors checked this in multiple ways by reporting data with very specific, obvious biases that would never pass review in other fields, to see if any of the reviewers or editors would catch the obvious bullshit. They did not, across 7 published papers thus far IIRC.

In fact, the hoax authors even told the publishers they couldn't provide the raw data because it had been printed out on paper that had then been recycled. Publisher's response: sure, no problem, we'll publish anyway.

In fact, many academics in this field argue that science, logic and math are themselves corrupt enterprises of oppression. As such, they remain wilfully ignorant of these biases and proper statistical methods.

All told, would you consider this a corruption of academic research?
I'm assuming you are replacing a CTO...the obvious question would be why is the previous CTO leaving.

The fabricated data was patently absurd. They claimed that they inspected the genitals of 10,000 dogs at a single dog park. To punish him for this fabrication is ridiculous. They should rather look into the people who reviewed the article and didn't ring the alarm bells immediately after reading such an absurd claim.

Data fabrication is taken so seriously because otherwise scientists could game the system by fabricating data to advance their career by making their research look more successful. That obviously didn't apply here -- he didn't even publish the article under his own name.
My quick summary of white holes, which I thought were a product of science fiction:

Predicted by some solutions to relativity.

They have not been observed yet but recent theories suggest that some burst of gamma rays may be markers.

Other theories suggest that the expulsion of matter from a white hole may occur very quickly, almost instantaneously, so unlike say a supernova you’d need to be looking at the right place and the right time to see it happen.

White hole mass may be behind a horizion that makes them dark = dark matter.

Our Big Bang may have been a super-massive white hole event, so we are a universe-within a universe.
WhatsApp is currently blocked in China. You can't use it there, anyway.

Do international tensions actually reach down to students, if they obey the law and manner of respect?
I generally agree, but sometimes it's through pushing the boundaries that we begin to realise what the shortcomings are not only in one domain but potentially in others. This might not be a great move forward for shell scripting generally, but these sorts of things could be wonderful steps in terms of progress for the Swift language itself and possibly for Apple's tooling (some of which still relies on old versions of Python and Ruby).
Ask HN: What do you do when you hear something memorable/relevant in a podcast?
Six months ago, I started listening to podcasts, and I've been hooked ever since -- some of my favorites are Acquired (https://www.acquired.fm/) & The Twenty Minute VC (https://www.thetwentyminutevc.com/).

I love how much I learn in these podcasts, but I haven't found a great way to retain this knowledge. I'm curious to hear 1) how often this happens to others and 2) what you currently do when you hear something memorable/relevant?

Welcome to any additional thoughts!
Thoughts:

1. Competitive fundraising dynamics = easier to keep control

2. Optimizing for control in negotiations at the expense of other things like valuation = easier to keep control

3. Post Series A, meeting with VCs regularly to build up a cache that are ready to lead the B = more competition = easier to keep control

When you have lots of experience but a shortage of "credentials" and hostile employers telling you continuously you'd never be able to get work anywhere else...
(I had this from several employers over 10 years .. with harsh gaps between involving things like homelessness)

... well, let's just say depression is inevitable. And being able to see new, a way out or anything else will likely require help from others.
I got both help from others (churches (to oversimplify, there are multiple religious groups involved here) and more in my case - psych and medical was mostly unhelpful and/or toxic too - they believed the same lies the employers used!) and from friends and family ... and my life is a whole pile healthier and happier now.
And if curious, no I don't attend any of the religious groups I visited during that period now. But I have a lot of respect for them now - well earned. And don't regret visiting any of them. And hopefully none regret my visiting them either too. People are people, and having healthy relationships means both parties should try to be healthy to one another.

Yes, employers can be abusive too, with all the consequences of being in an abusive relationship. This can also result in depression and usually burnout too. Especially if one works to ridiculous levels trying to keep the abusive employer happy.
(it's also sometimes really hard to see that it's abusive without either outside help, or long and far enough distance)
I have no idea where the idea originated from but you see it sometimes in science fiction, that is the idea of mutable identity, from a superficial point of view. In other words the concept of anyone being able to represent themselves as they would like to through implants or body modification.
Here's the root of the problem.

> Static provisioning also goes against the mindset of Kubernetes

Then the mindset of Kubernetes is wrong. Or at least incomplete. Persistent data is an essential part of computing. In some ways it's the most important part. You could swap out every compute element in your system and be running exactly the way you were very quickly. Now try it with your storage elements. Oops, screwed. The data is the identity of your system.

The problem is that storage is not trivially relocatable like compute is, and yet every single orchestration system I've seen seems to assume otherwise. The people who write them develop models to represent the easy case, then come back to the harder one as an afterthought. A car that's really a boat with wheels bolted on isn't going to have great handling, but that's pretty much where we are with storage in Kubernetes.
I think your analysis is close to correct but missing an important point. Cultures you’re talking about strongly push progresivism, to the point that traditional shows look more like hour-long Public Service Announcement than a show. It’s overcharged with girls who take the lead (even in action movies that are still mostly watched by boys) as a way to push a cultural change, but also cluttered with constant disparaging of boys. Not even talking about white males because they’ve been targetted long enough that they probably don’t even watch TV/Hollywood anymore, apart from progressist white males who cheer at people who say whiteness ought to be banned.

The reason people rush on small creators is they’re politically incorrect, meaning they’re non-PSA shows. People are so upset of being told that they’re sexist if they don’t date a transsexual, that they’re able to trade the quality of image/montage/content of traditional TV shows for a content that doesn’t constantly give lessons or disparage them.

What you call fragmentation will be instantly reunified if a platform ever succeeds to get rid of the pressure to put PSA-compatible characters under the customers’ eye. They’re tired of being the product.
The OP has some good ideas.

That someone could see the future of smartphones when a mobile phone was a box of 100 pounds in the trunk of a car is a bit much. There WAS a possibility just by (1) talking to the electronic radio engineers about spectrum, bandwidth, propagation, and power, (2) learning about encryption, and (3) talking to the experts in microprocessor lithography and where that field was going. E.g., quite early on, IBM had their eye on line widths small enough to need X-ray wavelengths as a light source and built a cyclotron as an X-ray source.

The OP missed the possibly crucial role of original advanced technology, e.g., from applied math, that is difficult to understand, duplicate, or equal. Reasons for the OP to miss this possibility is that (1) they have seen little or no such on Sand Hill Road and (2) are unable to evaluate such technology themselves and unwilling to direct such evaluations by others. That the US DoD, DoE, NSF, NASA, NIH, etc. are willing to evaluate such technology early on and have done so with fantastically good effects is just ignored by Sand Hill Road. My guess is that the main cause is concerns by the institutional investor limited partners.

The part about building a demo to prove that the team can build serious software is not good: From all the months I contacted Sand Hill Road, apparently it doesn't much matter WHAT software a team has written in the past or what abilities the team has demonstrated, Sand Hill Road won't invest based on software yet to be written.

Writing such as the OP long misled me: I guessed that such considerations would be part of a VCs investment decisions. But after experience, I concluded, NO: Instead IMHO it appears that that the investment decisions are based on (1) traction significant and growing rapidly, (2) in a large market, (3) with little or no current competition, (4) with a team with not much obviously wrong with it, and (5) the team desperate for a check. The rest in the OP might tempt an entrepreneur to send a pitch deck but won't have anything to do with the VC writing a check.
Human rights is ill-defined, certainly less well-defined than anonymity. Saying the project serves human rights effectively means the project serves whoever gets to define what is a human right.
That’s not nessisarily relevant. In WWII most codes where cracked, but little of this information was used as the assumption was keeping the secret is generally more valuable than using the information. If in practice those agencies leave users alone then the polite fiction provides very useful cover.

Sure, if you’re trying to sell a stolen nuclear weapon then don’t use it. But for stolen credit cards it’s probably very safe in practice.
Do the SIMD units have different memory blocks that while being controlled by one cpu core would make the super wide SIMD behave more like multiple threads with different memory units? Or at least act like it from a latency perspective?
I've wondered the same. bandwidth is still very expensive at scale. How TOR exit nodes could afford it years ago is a mystery to me. There's some ISP's that host their own in europe, but aren't there still expensive charges when all that bandwidth goes out of their network?
This seems to have been written by a third party?
Well there are certainly heavyweight researchers who believe the DL can organize and recognize higher principles.
Andrew Ng and Geoff Hinton are among them.

But DL nets can be very fragile solutions, that only curve fit to the training data.

You dont want to recognize the same picture of the puppy, you want to recognize all puppies.

Others who disagree are trying to integrate logical approaches with DL into novel archetectures.

I see it as more of pendulum moving back and forth.

Nonsense, Elasticsearch does all these things (and extremely well too). These are core lucene features. I'm not aware of any much that Solr does that Elasticsearch does not. And yes, I've used both.

Solr was there earlier. In many ways, Elasticsearch was a response to stuff Solr did not do, or did not do well. Like clustering for example. Solr has of course added this since then.
Why 8s though? That’s well into “give up on loading this page, close the tab and try somewhere else” territory.

Perhaps a better option is finding ways to prevent content jumping around so much while assets are loading.

There is a huge difference in the Clojure experience vs. CL. They might both be lisps, but there is where the similarity ends. The paradigms are often quite different in working between them.

Clojure is an immutable-first, and concurrency as a first-class citizen, approach to programming.
Sharing Swift code
Maybe it could work by sorting things based on political ideology and strength of coalition support plus willingness to shout down the opposition.

I'm sure you can imagine how that applies to a list of integers. They probably sort themselves into intersectional groups recursively. So the algorithm starts off and the first pass sorts loosely into odd vs even. Then a next pass sorts the partitions further into positive and negative. Then the next pass sorts by prime factorization and so on until they are maximally sorted by all the ways in which they can be grouped intersectionally.

Of course the result of the sorting is useless, but that's the moral of the story.
This doesn't matter.

If you use your residential internet connection you're definitely not anonymous.

If you use Tor you're maybe not anonymous. That's still better.
> IMHO, it's not at all unreasonable to block stuff from domains you don't trust, especially domains controlled by large surveillance corporations. The web should be more resilient. AMP makes it brittle.

My thoughts exactly, this is what makes me nervous about AMP, it feels like it's pushing the web in a direction that is alien to its original ideas.

Kind of feels like the author doesn’t know kubernetes? Stateful sets make all this very easy. I only have a user-end knowledge of k8s from GCE and it seems like k8s makes storage very easy.

Is there evidence for or against the interior of black holes being similar to distinct separate universes? Is that a popular idea at all, in physicists' circles?

How much (and _what_) would I need to read and understand to get a feeling of the nature of black holes?

I'm a total layman when it comes to physics and it would put some distant worries of me to rest.

I'd rather measure a lot of Hawking radiation while throwing bottles in flasks into a black hole. However, I'm currently preoccupied with figuring out why my mouth keeps talking when I'm not thinking of anything.

> The guy fabricated data to fool the editors. Academia relies on researchers being honest and not doing so -- there simply aren't any resources for journals to do independent replication of all received papers before accepting them for publication.

No, you're simply wrong about this. The publications are not rigourous and they do not perform their due diligence in this field as is done in proper sociological research, and that's what the hoax was intended to demonstrate. I suggest reading my summary here:

Tor has convinced the average user that it is a black box that protects them and this is gravely untrue. It may be safer than your residential ISP but the level of security it claims to provide is simply false.

Like I said, I would appreciate someone explaining why I’m wrong but I’ve been closely following Tor for years and I haven’t seen anything to refute my opinion.
They're disavowing 0.15% of users.

And even so, note that that is not the same as blocking 0.15% of users, which is impossible.
I think you are underestimating the damage caused by this considering the degree to which public policy is shaped by academia.

Or the system should allow "TBD" as a grade, or we should fix whatever reason the teacher was forced to put in a placeholder grade in the first place.
This sort of assumes that (a) the only possible system is surveillance capitalism (I have no problem unblocking advertisers on sites which don't track me e.g. DuckDuckGo, I also have no problem paying for things directly -- in fact, I prefer it); and (b) that this is the sole reason for using something like µMatrix which blocks _everything_, not just ads.

It seems the sci-fi trend for huge data storage back then was "crystals!". So were many of remote viewing devices, alien navigation systems and space fuel.
The problem is value can only really be ascribed afterward, and sometimes not even immediately afterward; something might have to sit in a drawer for fifty years before somebody has another 2 to put together with it. We can say a proposal looks stupid (and it might actually be) but huge swathes of current scientific consensus would look ridiculous at any point directly prior to its establishment, which might be considered the whole basis behind the Max Planck quote: "Science advances one funeral at a time." It's not really that many people are ever bowled over by something, so much as the next generation just grows up with a general idea in the atmosphere, so it's a little less alien.

At it's heart, isn't the basic conflict between the two views of science as expressed by Drumlin and Arroway in Contact?

That's a great point. A lot of the best macOS software came from, and still come from, developers from the NeXTSTEP era. Some have faded a bit, but they're still there setting the benchmark.

One possible counterpoint is that the FBI took over and ran a child pornography onion service in 2015 [1] in order to deliver malware to visitors and demask them. This suggests that at least the FBI does not have the capability to demask users on demand.
