> what are possible inputs to ampligraph?
Any knowledge graph will do (i.e. directed, labeled multigraph, with or without schema). We have APIs to read graphs serialised as CSV files or RDF (any serialisation will do): http://docs.ampligraph.org/en/1.0.1/ampligraph.datasets.html...

> the main use-case is plugging in an existing knowledge graph, and it filling in the gaps
Correct. That is known as Link Prediction. There are other machine learning tasks you can do, though: for example you can generate embeddings and then cluster them. Or you can use embeddings to see if distinct entities are indeed the same.

> Can I augment this will really high-quality embeddings for the nodes, that were learned over auxiliary unlabelled text?
I know there is a handful of papers in literature that do that, but we have not implemented any of them yet in AmpliGraph.
Examples:

* Xie, Ruobing, et al. "Representation Learning of Knowledge Graphs with Entity Descriptions." AAAI 2016.
* Xu, Jiacheng, et al. "Knowledge Graph Representation with Jointly Structural and Textual Encoding." arXiv preprint arXiv:1611.08661 (2016).
* [Han16] Han, Xu, Zhiyuan Liu, and Maosong Sun. "Joint Representation Learning of Text and Knowledge for Knowledge Graph Completion." arXiv preprint arXiv:1611.04125 (2016).

> What are other ways I can augment the data set?
I would try first with a dataset with no literals (no strings, no numbers, no geo coordinates) as these are treated as entities, for now.
I suggest generating embeddings first on your current graph, and measuring the predictive power using http://docs.ampligraph.org/en/1.0.1/generated/ampligraph.eva...
Merging additional datasets would be another option, to get more data to work on.

> Is this useful only when there are many edge-types, or is it also good when there are very few?

Also when there are a few.

Very interesting and useful, but when I read the title I was hoping it would be something different.

I would love to find some kind of stripped-down vector graphics engine that is fully geared towards real-time rendering of path-based graphics for games. For example to write retro-style games that use 2D vector graphics instead of textured quads. I've been writing a simple game that uses this graphics style, and so far I've been simply using pre-rendered textures for sprites. Being able to directly render these things by composing vector-based layers would allow all kinds of interesting effects and image quality improvements, e.g. seamless scaling morphing, etc. Obviously this would be way, way slower than emulating these things using bitmap textures and/or SDF's for scaling, but for the simple graphics my game is using that should probably be fine, even on mid-range hardware there is plenty of frame time I could dedicate to vector rendering and still hit at least 30fps.
I did some quick benchmarking and for files under roughly 4096 bytes, not compressing with gzip was faster.

It's not terribly exact, +-1000 bytes would probably not make a big difference, but I think it's a good default.

And of course, some people may have unique use cases where a custom threshold may be better.
The difference is that in the case of programming, for the cost of some side-study you can get yourself a competitive advantage.
That magic password is somewhat restricted as in you can only link an application with it once (which then should get an infinite token). It's mildly better. Last time I used it there were scoping options, but I might be mistaken
Ruuvi Node – maintenance-free, open source IoT Node
The VR adoption got slowed down quite signifanctly by the artficial price inflation through the cryptomining boom happening in the same period over the last 3-4 years. Before that high-mid to high end GPUs were in a range of USD 200 to 500, inbetween they tripled in price and are now slowly going back. When FOVeated rendering and the equivalent of 2x4k at 90FPS+ are doable significantly below USD 500, i'm sure things will look different quite soon again.

Before that, you could double GPU performance for same price every two years or so, now its about 5 or more years, when looking at GTX 970 vs RTX 2070 for example. In my opinion GPUs speed are at least three years behind trajectory because of this market anomaly. Just hope AI isn't throwing stupid money at GPUs again.
> Like any package manager it's somewhat difficult to write good packages that have all these attributes. And I think you have to admit that a well-written helm chart that covers all the bases is a lot less readable (albeit much more powerful, stipulated) than a simple yaml description of the object you want.

I agree to that, but I think the situations in which you have to write really flexible and complex charts are pretty rare. Most of the charts that we maintain and use internally, use very little templating, because they are tailored to fit our own environments, not every environment under the sun.
I've been to prisons where you can simply walk out of the door, are those not prisons?

Yours is the weirdest argument imaginable, he's forced to stay in the embassy or he'll be arrested. That is exactly how essentially all western prisons work, some of them might throw minor obstacles on the way to prevent you from walking out but it's rarely that hard.

That would even more fittingly describe Perl 6.

For some reason, there seems to be a complete lack of toxic behavior in the Perl community (both 5 and 6).
+ Look beyond the obvious and conventional and what it is saying that the second order thinkers see unconventional things that might sound absurd to conventional first order thinkers. And do it with good precision, otherwise, they might end up with failed results too.

All I can think of is "the files are inside the computer!!!" from zoolander, heh.

You're barking up the wrong tree though, being able to, for instance, analyze the wear of electromigration from trackpad controllers in an attempt to determine the most common branches, is a far cry from what this likely does.

That said, I would not be surprised if part of the function of this chip is to in part prevent the above issue from happening so easily. It's likely quite complicated and would have no place on a lot of smaller single purpose controllers.

Back when we used to upgrade computers (before the intel malaise), we would "torture" the old one by letting it generate random numbers until it failed. The last "interesting" processor we tortured was a dual core AMD of some sort. After that it simply started taking too long

You assume this is bad, but why? Your alternative seems to be locking yourself into expensive and highly proprietary vendor solutions that have their own learning curve and a wide variety of tradeoffs and complications.

So having 4-8 times as many servers that unlike AWS, we would also have five times (1 master and 8 slaves) as much storage is better than the theoretical “lock-in”? You realize with the read replicas, you’re only paying once for storage since they all use the same (redundant) storage?

Where is the “lock-in”? It is Mysql. You use the same tools to transfer data from Aurora/MySQL that you would use to transfer data from any other MySQL installation.

But we should host our entire enterprise on digital ocean or linode just in case one day we want to move our entire infrastructure to another provider?

Out of all of the business risks that most companies face, lock-in to AWS is the least of them.

The point being made is that you are still worrying about maintaining infrastructure and overprovisioning, because you're now spending time specializing your system and perhaps entire company to a specific vendor's serverless solutions.

How are we “specializing our system”? We have one connection string for read/writes and one for just reads. I’ve been doing the same thing since the mid 2000s with MySQL on prem. AWS simply load balances rate readers and adds more as needed.

And you don’t see any issue on spending 5 to 9 times as much on both storage and CPU? You do realize that while we are just talking about production databases, just like any other we company we have multiple environments some of which are only used sporadically. Those environments are mostly shut down - including the actually database server until we need them and scales up with reads and writes with Aurora Serverless when we do need it.

You have know idea how easy it is to set the autoscsling read replica up do you?

> Most Americans don't make enough to have anything left over to invest in the markets.

This assertion is not supported by demographic statistics. The median US household has ~$12,000/year in investable cash, after all ordinary expenses. Whether or not they actually invest any of this cash is another matter.
"You received a hint: someone wants to #breakUp with you"

The thought of that just cracked me up :D Seems like a really good idea though, I like it!
Yeah, actually the other day i was thinking about getting a 2990WX to try writing a software renderer on it and see how it performs. Too bad it is way too expensive (and Zen 2 CPUs are around the corner).
> not because it uses its much larger military to dominate territorial, resource, and strategic control of the globe?

The U.S. dollar was in global use preceding WWII. Going back to 1915, the Federal Reserve was pioneering electronic money transmission [1]. After World War II, the United States being the only developed country not bombed to the Stone Age helped it set the terms of the peace. But the Bretton Woods system catalysed an existing trend; it did not create it.

> All a country needs to do to boost its currency and economy is to start consuming more!

Yup. This was a foundational motivation for the creation of the Eurozone. It's also why we're seeing offshore renminbi financial markets. If you sell to a consumer in Europe or China, you'll tend to end up with Euros and renminbi. You can swap it into your own currency and lose the spread. Or you can invest it in assets in that currency. The latter drives down capital costs, which makes those currencies more attractive for fundraising. That, in turn, creates financial centers. As long as one has relative price stability, it's a relatively-difficult feedback loop to screw up.

TL; DR The petrodollar hypothesis has bad predictive value.

Despite it never happening to me in few years of using AWS, Ill explain the difference between this example and mine.

Payment example shows the issue on your end. Something you have control of. In Azure example, companies could do nothing to prevent that outage. Sure you can run services in multiple regions but then you pay absurd amount of money to transfer data between regions (at least in case of AWS).
Then that's a typical case of optimizing on the wrong metric.

Find a case where it's actually too slow, ok, but saying "A does X, and X can lead to Y, therefore A does Y" is wrong.

If you say the size of the binary is an issue, then give the issue, not how it could (or not) be an issue.
KeePass here too. On Android, it is absolutely terrible paired with Dropbox. I'm not sure who to blame, but the database will not stay up-to-date and I have to click and re-open my key file _every_time_. On a fresh install, it stays good for several months, then it will get out of sync and I'm not sure how to get it back to in sync.
Amusing that we'll soon live in a world where Afghanistan will be freer than the EU.

Rent control just delays the inevitable until things mentioned in the article happen. The rent is frozen but the value of the property keeps rising. Landlords increase rent of vacant units to make up the loss of rent revenue. Everyone is happy until one day the tenant moves or is forced out (see the article). Then the price of the property immediately shoots up to market rate and you end up with a price that is higher than without rent control.

VR is a high friction/opportunity cost setup clutch and not a casual setup and interaction thing as TV.

The biggest issue with VR is that it's by nature not a passive/low energy thing in it's default mode, it's way closer to sports and work than TV, so more niche as a recreational time activity.

In essence VR competes with activites like soccer, badminton, shooting ranges, lasertag, trampolin parks etc. not general purpose home use TV. If you benchmark it against them VR, on it's current trajectory has a place to exist in garages and arcades.

If VR/MR/AR gets away from being marketed as high energy activity there is a future there, if there is found a way to make headset's superficial or significantly lighter and easy to handle at resolution better than TV screens at the equivalent distance. Powerful wireless (standalone) headsets and couch compatible VR might take off.

By my calculation the plane was flying roundabout 100.000 days with 2 accidents. Assuming 2 round-trips a day maybe 200.000 takeoff during this time. One crash every 100.000 take-offs.

Now assuming 40.000 road deaths per year in the US and 300.000.000 citizens we have 0.000133 probability to suffer a road death a year. Assuming one 737MAX round trip per quarter we have 8 take-offs so .00008 probability to die in a 737MAX. Assuming commuter 40 trips a year we have a risk much higher than the average road death risk.
Yes, that sounds about right.
Trees don't release CO2 when they die. They release CO2 when they rot. That might sound like an unimportant distinction, but for example buildings made of wood are a CO2 sink. The wood does not rot, and thus does not release the carbon bound in it. Basically burying trees (or generally biomass) in an oxygen-poor environment will sequester CO2.
Matt Levine's excellent Bloomberg newsletter "Money Stuff" frequently comments on this - search for the phrase "Everything is securities fraud": many reprehensible things a company does are possibly not technically illegal per se (or it's hard to prove that they are), but they do constitute securities fraud, and that's easier to prove and prosecute.

I believe there is a physical limit to how far you can stretch that because it takes actual resources to make things for people to consume. We only have a certain amount of oil supply and reserves, minerals, etc. Which is why its not feasible for every country to just consume as much as they want, because some percentage of the money is tied to real things in a finite world.

Countries with more resource control may be able to take that concept pretty far. But it doesn't come from them just deciding they want more stuff.

I mostly felt like I was reading a piece from 10 years ago. Liking a page on the back of a share or ad for something popular is so common as to be a trope. Britain First were hugely successful pushing their far right racist bullshit with this tactic ten years back. It's how they grew to being noticeable in the first place! Now every idiot can be heard.

Much of the age statistics also apply across the demographic - if non-technical. I don't think anyone, of any age, outside of tech has a reasonable picture of how algorithms affect their lives, and what they might see. The older couple might get taken in by a Microsoft tech support scam or a you won a lottery you didn't buy a ticket for spam. The kids buy cheap games/festival tickets/fashion/tech from absurdly poor scam sites - then don't complain as they've been educated by site policies rather than any awareness of consumer law.

Last, I think everyoen is more lonely. We have apps that centre on us, the individual. No need to go to the club without an appointment, or make a phone call, or interact with any of those pesky humans. Apps, internet and politics are all driving this hard. Purely from what I see, it seems like the youngsters are hardest hit - they should have their max amount of friends and least chance of existential loneliness. By the time you hit 60s half your friends have moved miles away or died. A good proportion will have been widowed. Loneliness rather goes with the territory of ageing.

Musk Judge Sends SEC, Tesla CEO Back to Negotiating Table
I don’t think most people care about what parts of the human brain are present in monkeys. Even if the difference is just quantitative, it still remains a fact that humans talk, make music, feel remorse and have civilisations. So clearly we are fuyndamentally different from all other animals, even if we have the same components.

The thing is really that when it comes to the mind, physical components are not really the interesting thing, holisitic, virtual components are what matter. Mice probably can’t feel remorse, but that is probably not because they lack a remorse center, it\s because their brains are too small or have too few connections to provide that functionality.

This is closely related to 'Chaos theory' too. There is a great correlation.

"Small differences in initial conditions yield widely diverging outcomes for dynamical systems"

My interpretation is that second order thinkers see unconventional things of how a dynamic system behaves to fine tune it initially and intervene when it's moving in wrong direction to drive it in the direction that yields desired results.

> What do the consequences look like in 10 minutes? 10 months? 10 Years? 1

> Extraordinary performance comes from seeing things that other people can’t see.

Although experience plays a key role, the second order still have to think that aren't yet experienced by them based on the patterns they can recognize.
Variational Auto-Decoder
PS. This may be a little of pot and kettle, but what makes it so important to you that I'm convinced that AWS is unicorns and rainbows and having more control and visibility is a bad thing?

Because I was developing and maintaining web servers, database servers, queueing systems, load balancers, mail servers and doing development at small companies before AWS in its current form existed. I’ve done both.

The problem most posters here have isn’t lack of visibility, it’s not understanding the tools - it’s a poor carpenter who doesn’t understand their tools.

What am I supposed to do to satisfy you here? After finding the network does weird things, and not being able to get timely help with, I should conclude that AWS will solve my needs, if only I paid them more money? If only I had wasted more time watching videos that don't come up against reasonable search terms, maybe I wouldn't have come to the conclusion that having an amorphous, uninspectable, blob of a network between my servers and the internet is a bad thing?

Do you usually jump in on a new technology or framework and get frustrated because you don’t know how something works when you didn’t take the time to learn the technology you use?

I’m sure you’ve never had s problem with any piece of open source software that was “out of your control” or did you just download the software and patch it yourself?

The truth is that yes any piece of technology is complex and you thought you could just jump in without any research and start using it. I don’t do that for any technology. When I found out that we were going to be using ElasticSearch for a project, I spent a month learning it and still ran into some issues because of what I didn’t know. That didn’t mean there was something wrong with ES.
