You would still need to digitize the signal coming from the pixels, and the bandwidth required for each pixel would be commensurate to the rate at which you wish to capture tge information.
I think they retired the fail whale some time ago.

I looked it up: in 2013, because they didn't want to be associated w/ outages.
I’d be curious why you think at 100x is where you would lose out on TCO with self managed. I feel like staff time commitment should only go up with larger fleets, you’d really start running into the pricing advantages on 0-rated network here etc.
Worth noting not in the UK, where Coke lives.
Yes, that happened.

And partially because the industry learned from Therac-25 (and other issues), collectively it got much better at avoiding this sort of failure mode.

I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it is not a high risk scenario for the poster I responded to.
I suspect that too. Note that FFmpeg was also published under a pseudonym Gérard Lantau.
>> Pluribus is also unusual because it costs far less to train and run than other recent AI systems for benchmark games. Some experts in the field have worried that future AI research will be dominated by large teams with access to millions of dollars in computing resources. We believe Pluribus is powerful evidence that novel approaches that require only modest resources can drive cutting-edge AI research.

That's the best part in all of this. I'm not convinced by the claim the authors repeatedly make, that this technique will translate well to real-world problems. But I'm hoping that there is going to be more of this kind of result, singalling a shift away from Big Data and huge compute and towards well-designed and efficient algorithms.

In fact, I kind of expect it. The harder it gets to do the kind of machine learning that only large groups like DeepMind and OpenAI can do, the more smaller teams will push the other way and find ways to keep making progress cheaply and efficiently.
Yes it is a timing issue. Can they do it before it's too late?
>> Despite my general distaste for JS largely due to websites tending to abuse it more than anything

Why would you have a distaste for JavaScript based on how others use it? JavaScript has evolved into an extremely powerful and flexible language which is taking many great lessons from other languages. Sure its not perfect but its a real workhorse.

EDIT: I know you're not meant to ask why the downvotes, but I do wonder in this case - the comment is a reasonable one, I guess it's the many JavaScript haters piling on - "Haters gonna hate". I stand by these comments - JavaScript is a flawed but great language that has only proven over time its flexibility and adaptability to become probably the single most used language - the people who don't like it are those who don't use it/understand it.
This hit close to home. Hilarious. Thanks.
You could just do what Python does and accept your language runtime is unbearably slow?

Just had a vision of a hacker blog where the author starts out writing in the most godawful VB6 spaghetti, gets some sort of brain operation and subsequent blog postings are like Linux booting in RISC-V implemented in Conway's Game of Life. Then suddenly a mouse dies and the quality gradually reverts back to how cool the <BLINK> tag is in HTML.

No, but you may get flagged.
Actually Hy is mentioned in the article, though the author found it didn't fit his usecase.

> Alas, Hy didn't really reach my dream. That macro expansion made debugging a nightmare as Hy would lose track of where the line numbers are; it wasn't until that when I really realized that without line numbers, you're just lost in terms of debugging in Python-land. That and Python didn't really have the right primitives; immutable datastructures for whatever reason never became first class, meaning that functional programming was hard, "cons" didn't really exist (actually this doesn't matter as much as people might think), recursive programming isn't really as possible without tail call elimination, etc
I think OP was saying the myth of the myth was dispelled.
Your personal belief is likely correct. Balancing a donking range is incredibly difficult for humans and doing so perfectly likely yields only a very small EV bonus over just always checking. For humans it makes a whole lot of sense to reduce the branching in a case like that whereas for computers it doesn't really matter.

Another good example is varying continuation betting sizes. A true GTO strategy would mix in a number of different sizings (and I'm sure the bots adapted to do this), but you only sacrifice a very tiny amount of EV by basically betting the same size every time. Doing the latter limits humans risk for making errors which is far more valuable than squeezing out .05bb/100 more by varying the sizes.
When I uncheck Authentication phone I get a red error message: "Configure at least one phone so that if you lose the app you are not locked out of the account."

If You are able to remove it, I’m wondering if there is some sort of policy or limitation our VAR is adding to our instance.

edit - added quotes to the error message
Isn't that essentially how the "I'm not a bot" captcha works though? And it seems to work pretty well.
This is really great work. It reminds me of the, "old internet." (rip)
And keeping a truly reliable backup is hard. Do you print out recovery codes, laminate the paper, and put them in a fire resistant home safe, or a safe deposit box?
Ah.

Well, I was arguing that the government is NOT in the business of selling services, and that is why taxes for the mot part are not based on consumption.

Ideally—from my perspective as a product member of the Socialist Republic of Kanuckistan—taxes based on consumption are not about “fairness” but about creating disincentives for undesirable exploitation of resources.
Precisely. Thank you.
comply? It isn’t weird to have to show identity to authorities in any country; having to provide a passport on demand is a given when traveling in China.

It's not a solution, it's a layer. Vulnerabilities still matter behind an airgap. A hospital is a large, semi-public facility. Patients are left alone in their rooms with network drops. There are legitimate business needs to transfer records in from and out to other institutions; who's to say they can't contain exploit payloads? There are contractors, vendors, and high-turnover low-skilled staff circulating every day. And even if there weren't, if you've been thinking of the airgap as a "solution" and not keeping up with patches, the first person to cross will have a ridiculously easy time with whatever's inside.

It's good to raise the bar from drive-by internet strangers to people and organizations willing to take mild physical risks, but it's not a panacea.
"Evergreening of drugs has been repeatedly rejected"

Why is this a concern?
dang, is this something you need to be aware of?
This is super accurate.
Fyi - new Delhi has the most stringent vehicular regulations in India. All commercial vehicles in Delhi run on natural gas - both petrol and diesel are banned.

India's pollution levels are not industrial or vehicular - they are agriculture waste burning. And they are timed with agricultural harvesting cycles.

We have super fragmented farmlands who are really poor and this causes bad practices of disposal .

We are a service based economy - but to be able to bring the bottom of the pyramid out of poverty, we need to accelerate manufacturing and bring modernisation into agriculture. Not to mention education.
which forces you to read everything individually and not miss something.
I prefer less highlighting for this reason. I highlight a few keywords but other than that I don't highlight. I find it helps me _read_ the code rather than skim the code. (and for skimming, I'd grep through it most likely looking for something specific rather than trying to understand it.)
This is a great article - maybe the best that I've seen in terms of depth and balance about Detroit (I'm from there.)

Both Detroit and Oakland allowed rain and rodents to heavily damage their showcase train stations.

They are trying to restore them now, but a tarp would have saved tens of millions of dollars and years in restoration costs.

The world-class DIA art museum was mentioned. Note that Toledo, Ohio, another ruined city, has the fantastic Libby Glass Museum.

> For some years he has been buying lots in the area

Forward-thinking business owners with cash flow have a unique opportunity to buy downtown real estate.

A trucking company bought hundreds of abandoned homes near swanky Belle Isle(!) and paved an urban parking lot of around 50 acres for trans-shipping between USA and Canada.

Detroit is one of the few cities in the world where you can buy a block-long brick factory and launch a new mfg. business for essentially just the back taxes.

For static files, Firebase Hosting is great too. Easier than S3 + CloudFront , just a firebase deploy inside your project. Also, you can undo versions from their dashboard. In addition, easy integration with your domain.
I would love to see the demographic data of the people actually clicking these vile advertisements. Are these the same people who watch Jerry Springer type shows and read tabloids for the juicy gossip?

I wonder if this is having some sort of effect on people at a national level? What would you measure to see if this is effecting people negatively?

I wonder if my parents would fall prey to these scummy ads if I didn't maintain their adblockers...

This toxic clickbait needs to end.
Are you considering exercising pre-ipo options that are unvested, to hold? If so, file an 83b otherwise you could be destroyed by taxes on unrealized income.

Normally though, people hold their stock options and sell them when they are with something. People are granted stock options say 100 shares at $20, they wait until they vest and are worth something like $60 and do a "same day sale". In this case they would be lent $20 per share, sell them, pay back the $20 netting $40 per share.
From the paper:

"$50,000 was divided among the human participants based on their performance to incentivize them to play their best. Each player was guaranteed a minimum of $0.40 per hand for participating, but this could increase to as much as $1.60 per hand based on performance."

So the humans weren't betting their own money, but they still made more money if they won.

GTK for a smartphone is an interesting choice. I'm curious if the Gnome team would ever commit to this.

The use of a stylus in the video is a bit concerning though.

Off topic but I hope Librem releases a high-end laptop in addition to their mid-tier one, ideally with a high performance AMD CPU. Something that could be the open-source friendly version of a Macbook Pro.

The way they disable Intel ME and add hardware toggles for webcams/microphones, and their general good taste is a big draw for me.

Edit: looks like Gnome is backing Purism's project. Neat. https://www.gnome.org/news/2017/09/gnome-foundation-partners...
Exactly, it would be a courageous move for the richest company in the world (by cash on hand, seems to still be Apple by a wide margin) to risk losing $$ for standing up with its moral values.

You dont 'avoid getting charged'. The service provider provides you a service, charges you a fee for it, and you refuse to pay.
Not disagreeing with your sentiments, but I think stepping back and taking into consideration why the bullying is happening can give better insight and perspective, maybe even other solutions.

Vice had a short video about a kid who was a bully, and as it dived into his personal situation I found that I regretted the first assumptions about him I made when seeing his behavior (despite how wrong it was).

No, I think your earlier example of a swarm of just-above-break-even bots would be much more difficult to combat. Even if they can be detected, the anti-detection countermeasures can evolve, turning it into an arms race. Anything you can model in your bot detection algorithm, the bot-maker can model too.

Reaction times ought to be one of the easiest things to fake. All it would take is a bunch of monitoring of large numbers of games to create a nice model of real player reaction times, which in all likelihood are normally distributed anyway.
what is post bilzerian time mean? I heard bilzerian's game was not gooda and rumor has it his using poker as a front of how he earned money??
Funny, right. I worked for at least 2 companies that at some point in time put a lot of money into Oracle. One of them is a leading gaming network, a lot of billions in revenue.

Teams struggled with migration off it. It was a multi year/multi millions project and there is no end to it. And newcomers were saying -> oh, that was a silly idea to use all this stuff (why didn't they used Dynamo :) ), hovewer, 15 years ago it was pretty ok + Oracle solution architects were all over the company.

I don't see how amazon's strategy is different. And I don't get how folks, who are saying Oracle lock was bad, but Amazon is ok, can justify such a thinking.

I will put my money on it, in 10 years those will be good examples of how not to do things. Like, for example, when AWS leadership changes. And internet will be: who would've seen it coming.
Is carpentry really that easy to master? Practical arts all require lots of practice. The only thing that makes coding very different is all the abstraction (so more like machine design than wood assembly).

Yup. My kids are sick of what Disney has done to the Star Wars franchise. They, we, have less than zero interest of seeing any new contrived episodes and even less interest in going to Disneyland to see Star Wars land.
I saw the authors' talk at Linux Conf last year. It seems like an awesome improvement but I'm actually far more interested in the "future work" which can be done. Namely, this system could be expanded to data "caching" whereby the kernel could route read(2) and write (2) to an underlying "struct file" in-kernel. This would allow for effectively zero-overhead FUSE-based overlay filesystems (which would be super useful for container runtimes -- especially once OCIv2 is usable).
Everything you said agrees with what simonebrunozzi said. SMS is a bad 2FA option.
proof? I dont' believe this. 2K buy-in has a lot of regs that are pretty good overall in cash games. Plus Pokerstars/FT has a pretty good anti-bot policy. if you get caught bye bye to the $.
Highly recommend the book Computers as Components by Wayne Wolf. Thoroughly discusses the principles of embedded computing. From an interviewing perspective, I believe the focus is mainly on hardware abstraction layer (bit manipulation/register handling), OS concepts and C/C++ embedded programming.

I would gladly pay for quality journalism, what is the cost of having your readers pay the salaries instead of these scummy ad networks? Are executives just trying to turn a big profit off journalism and extract maximum value from their readership via clickbait ads? I wish there was a simple solution for supporting our hard working journalist friends who truly love the job and are passionate about their craft.
It's less about "how do I steal this partícular guy's phone", and more about "how do I use this random stolen phone to access any accounts it was used with".

It's actually very cool since you can drop in any Java library you like, which is particularly nice in the bioinformatics space where HTSJDK, Picard and co. give you enormous power in that space.

I suspect the full-time job is actually her blog, rather than the contests per se:

> The operator of a popular sweepstakes blog, she has made the hobby into a full-time job.

So far in 2019, she's won prizes equivalent to £5,389, or about the same as working 110 hours/month at minimum wage[1]. Given that £2,000 worth (Majorca trip) is tagged as "Group win", and most of it appears to be stuff you couldn't sell at retail price, or just couldn't sell, I find it difficult to call that a full-time job.

[1] (£5,389/6 months)/£8.21 an hour = 109 hours

I mean we do consider ptrace a vulnerability which is why there's a kernel switch to turn the ability off.

> there's just too many ways to elevate

That's a problem that a lot of different people are trying to tackle because there's a lot of holes to plug.

* Wayland is plugging the Xorg hole where an app can listen or send keystrokes to other applications.

* sudo plugs this hole (by default) by requiring your password and binding your ticket to a single tty.

* Polkit plugs this hole (with Wayland's help) by having privileged dialogs and authenticating individual applications (i.e. dbus clients) instead of the user as a whole.

* The kernel switch plugs the ptrace hole.

* Flatpak and other namespacing frontends are working on the filesystem/network holes by keeping apps in their own little world unless allowed out.

* SELinux also lives in this space but it's a step removed preventing compromised apps the ability to use various escalation tricks in the first place.

We're closer than we've ever been. Now is pretty much the worst time to throw up our hands and say it can't be done.
American living in China, here for 10 years now. Even before the current tensions, as an American visiting China, you'd be likely to feel like you've stepped into another planet on entering. China is just so utterly different, and if you are non-Asian, you attract a lot of Chinese eyeballs from everyone from young children to Grandpa's, as they are just generally curious about foreigners. Everyone openly refers to you as "foreigner", like "hey look at that foreigner over there". On top of that, they are security conscious here in China. In 10-years in China, I've never found myself in a place where I've felt unsafe. Frankly, having personally been in serious danger in America a few times and further, my little brother got robbed, shot and killed and died in the middle of a street. I can't say the security here in China is a bad thing. The society in China prefers to be secure and have cameras everywhere, and it seems to be working for them.

So, I think those factors I mentioned above can naturally magnify incidents which are probably just going to happen to a foreigner here in China regardless, especially if the foreigner is already a bit concerned about anti-American sentiment. As far as the anti-American sentiment. I can remember it happening a few times and this is probably the worst it's been for Americans. But, I can remember times where anti-sentiment for Japanese appeared much worse. Locally to where I live, some Chinese nationals vandalized a few Japanese cars and stores. I don't feel like it's come close to getting that bad for Americans, yet. And largely, I feel like the Anti-American sentiment from Huawei and trade tension stuff hit a spike a few months ago, and people have pretty much moved on now.
The family of four has a house in a reasonable school district with bedrooms for the two children it felt comfortable enough to have; the tech guy is living with three roommates so that he can afford that life in 10 years.

On the other hand, take 2/3rds of my rent payment from me and all my neighbors. Please, take it! We'll all get to live in the same apartments, but the money will benefit society instead of our landlord. The vast majority of my spending is not on what things really cost, but on out-competing others for space in San Francisco. If you hobble us all equally we are no worse off.
Optimizing a Full-Text Search Engine
Depends what you mean by that. For example, in the bioinformatics space it's super common to parallelise a workflow over genomic regions and then merge the results. So I use a tool that has a top level construct for that, literally language syntax which makes that both utterly trivial and extremely robust (for example, deals with the annoying problems of edge effects, overlapping regions, trying not to create breaks in important regions, etc). You can argue all of that is basic parallelism and not domain specific, but in practice it's extremely useful to have these constructs at the language level.
