Hi, author here!

A few years back, I tried to find a better way how to organize my data. I was using mostly files & folders. My requirements were simple: Cheap(I will use it for decades). Scale(I have a few terabytes and counting). Open-source(It must work, If a company has gone). Private(Only I can see my data). I've made a list of ~20 products in the space. Most of them were SaaS, some were expensive or didn't provide scale what I needed. Out of luck, I've built one.

There are many use-cases for SkyAlt. You can write notes, organize your files, set reminders, store recipes, build CRM and more. The most solutions on the market have great UI, but don't care about privacy. 100% of SkyAlt code is on Github(under Bussiness Source License), It's unlimited and self-hosted. No lock-in. No spyware. No backdoors. No Ads. Also fast.

This is just beginning. There are plenty of things on roadmap. Linux version is coming soon(follow my twitter).

Try it, see If there is real value for you and feel free to ask questions or send feedback, thanks!

As a developer I am keen to see some compilation benchmarks. Unfortunately those kinds of benchmarks are almost never included in such reviews. Instead there are many gaming benchmarks which purpose is not exactly clear for me, after obviously gaming is not the primary target market for R9 3950X.
> Something that intrigued me in Saxton et. al.’s paper was how high a baseline transformer scored on probability tasks (~0.77 and ~0.73), given that working these out are a multi-step process. How could basic pattern-matching score so highly on such a task? Is mere perception enough to figure out something like the probability product rule, on such a generic architecture without any prior knowledge of numbers or probability?

> To try and explain this, we point out that although questions are unique, a lot of them will share the same answers. For example, Calculate prob of sequence aad from abcda, Calculate prob of sequence bbz from zbbmn, and Calculate prob of sequence rpr from {r: 2, p: 1, x:2} all lead to the same answer, 1/30.

> Doing a bit of analysis on training set questions, we find that out of 1 million samples each, swr_p_level_set and swr_p_sequence have 977179 and 978045 unique questions, respectively. This seems reasonable, as duplicates are limited to <3% of the training set and the distribution over questions appears fairly uniform.

> On the other hand, doing analysis on training set answers reveals that out of 1 million samples eachs, swr_p_level_set and swr_p_sequence have 1458 and 1865 unique answers, respectively.

> Counting the collective number of samples that share the top K most common answers reveals even more imbalance.

This is the real takeaway for me from the article.

Shower water is going to go into the sanitary sewer, which, if your municipality is smart, is going to discharge upstream of your water treatment intake. Since the sewer and water system would effectively form a mostly-closed loop, reducing the amount of water you dump into the sewer isn't going to have a meaningful impact on the total water you're withdrawing from the environment--it's the lawn care (depending on the aquifer configurations) and agricultural water usage that removes the water from the system entirely.

While I would love to meet a talking flying laser cat, all creatures have a fixed energy budget, and implementing any "feature" has an energy cost. So it could well be advantageous for creatures to not have a feature if they don't need it to survive in their EEA. Evolutionary pressure can make a feature go away or become vestigial if the energy requirement to support it is too great. This is how we get blind lizards in dark caves, for example. Or tailless humans (and other great apes).

There's a lot of detail in a really in-depth (but very interesting) AnandTech article about Intel's 10nm process [0]. The basic idea is Intel have multiple distinct sets of logical unit designs at different densities which have different characteristics. It's like having multiple software libraries that do the same thing but have different performance etc. except it's a library of silicon building blocks. You trade-off speed with density (highest performance library uses the least dense circuits). Each chip's design can be made up of bits of silicon from these different libraries. Different densities also have different power consumption, so in cases it makes sense to build low power chips that have small high performance, power sucking parts that can be used sparingly.

Few figures benefit from being interactive. I'm confused as to why why you'd want user contributed results. Getting a benchmark setup to be fair takes effort and you cannot simply take numbers measured using different CPU/memory/OS version/etc combos and draw conclusions from them. The fact that components combos are curated is a feature.

Personally, all I want from Anandtech is better editing and more articles.

I have a cat who loves to lick crinkly plastic wrappers and bags. I use shopping bags for my bedroom trash can and I'll wake up to him just sitting there licking the folded over edge for upwards of 10 minutes.

Two theories I've heard are that beef tallow is sometimes used in the manufacture of such bags so they might be smelling that. Or it could be as simple as they enjoy the sensation and/or sound of licking the bag. Though, they certainly are weirdos.

Profit from mining (for example Bitcoin) does not scale linearly with the amount of money you put in. If only a few miners control the hash power of the network, that will discourage use of the currency and drive the price of it down. It's not in the interest of miners to control > 50%.
> See the trend? Centralization is a natural outcome of millions of people not wanting to (1) spend money and (2) not wanting to spend extra time -- to fulfill ideals of decentralization.

Exactly. It's not a technological phenomenon, it's an economic one. It's actually present in all markets, but traditionally there is a "local" effect that allows variation to exist (if it's not free to ship goods to anywhere in the world), or a negative return to scale.

Technological goods, especially SaaS, can be "sold" anywhere in the world for near-zero marginal cost and tend to have positive returns to scale. Conventional economics dictates that this will tend to a monopoly. https://www.quora.com/Why-is-increasing-return-to-scale-inco...

Decentralists also tend to to recognise that, for most users of communications services, having a central authority to discipline bad actors results in an improvement to the service. This didn't exist for email so the Spamhaus and related services had to be invented.
Indeed, paper maps are alive and well in the field of hiking/camping. It is a terrible experience trying to navigate even on the biggest of phone screens. Even the stuff one can print at home is, maybe, on an A3 sheet of paper, hopefully in colour. A vast improvement over the phone, and still not unwieldy. But to me, nothing compares to those huge mapsheets that fold accordion style. You can take in SO much more of your terrain and locate yourself so much better in your surroundings.

One of my favourite things to do while out hiking is to sit with a compass and a map and try to identify peaks and glaciers. I could do it for hours.

Am I the only one unable to keep pace with compiler development? For some code on x86/64 I'm still using gcc 4.7, and a cursory test with gcc 5 (or even gcc 4.9) resulted in compile-time errors I hadn't time to look into. Maybe it's just a compiler or linker flag, which tbh is something that's gone out of control. Given the intimacy gcc has with glibc and the Linux kernel, in turn, what are folks using for a stable build environment that just doesn't need to change all the time because the software does what it's supposed to do, and doesn't need, nor benefits from high-energy agility? I know there are occasionally new targets and optimizations, but wasn't C a language supposed to be easy for writing a compiler for in a couple months? Well ok the same could said about a Unix kernel I guess. I mean I appreciate the gcc project for providing backports, but the new gcc versioning scheme makes release numbering kindof arbitrary, and can be interpreted to give a finger to older software especially in C-land.

I still think it should be log()ed explicitly.

Coming back to options world, entry_price is a constant when opening the contract, let's ignore dividends, the formula is (exit_price - entry_price) / entry_price = exit_price/entry_price - 1 = exit_price/constant - 1.

This is normally distributed if, and only if exit_price is normally distributed. You'd want to to add back the 1, log() it, add back the log(constant) to cancel it out and just work on the log(exit_price) normally distributed random variable.

Stock return really is not normally distributed. Log(stock return) is normally distributed (under B-S, it's an assumption after all). Stock return is log-normally distributed. Multiply by 1/entry_price and subtract 1 to get your version of stock returns.
If we are looking at the budget systems, then AMD wins hands down. Not only do their Athlon 200 CPUs have appallingly good cost to performance ratios (with Vega GPUs and a CPU cooler), they also share the same socket with the Ryzen lineup.

At the moment, I wouldn't recommend anything but AMD for CPU since you can buy at any price point then upgrade. I think the only price point that Intel does have a slight advantage is the ~$500 mark.

Depleting groundwater is mostly caused by agriculture, which in effect, is literally exporting water. Treated sewage is available for reuse as treated drinking water (sticking your wastewater treatment plant upstream of your water treatment plant makes people less squeamish about the idea), which means that it can form part of a cycle with >95% reuse capability.

Reducing the amount in that flow doesn't do much to solve the water stress issues, particularly if people choose to reduce that component instead of the other components (such as lawn care) that actually do matter greatly.

Removing a significant piece of the architecture was a large undertaking. There's many parts of the system that required a redesign. Throwing on yet another major piece of work (including developing a new Lua VM from the ground up) would've delayed the release well into next year. Many users just wanted Helm without Tiller.

To provide some perspective, over 80,000 lines of code was changed between 2.16.1 and 3.0.0, including test infrastructure, the architecture, documentation...

We started development on Helm 3 last year in March, shortly after the first Helm Summit in Portland. A complete redesign of the architecture in 20 months time seems pretty par for the course for a project of this size.

There are people who memorize only what is required to pass a test and once they do so, they think they have learnt the subject matter.

So you end up with someone who "knows" Big O because they memorized the current algorithm and and what works best in each situation but if you present them with a new algorithm, they will not be able to tell you if it is better or not because they can't do the analysis.

There are alot of people who just want what is required to do their job now, are not interested in how the tools they use work and resent it if you change the tool or make it work differently.

> When good developers work on something it should get better over time.

Which is obviously wrong as a generalization.

I'm torn between upvote for funny and downvote for (probably) wrong. :)

The gene is present in all (most?) other mammals except cats. One can reasonably assume that there was some evolutionary pressure to it. A whole family/species most likely does not lose a gene without some major outside pressure. Either the population shrinks suddenly and is recovered from individuals missing the gene, or that gene is eliminated presumably for good reason. This is not evidence but it's the more likely explanation.

Of course laser eyes are great only for the first individual that evolves them. Then basically every other population tends to start dying off because you can't just not use them.
This is a really fascinating paper. Given that cryptocurrency is here for the long haul - a reasonable assumption, even if it’s only for money laundering - finding a way to cut the power cost and make mining resistant to bots makes a lot of sense.
> Technological goods, especially SaaS,

I think it's more accurate to call them "digital goods", because IMO what enables the less than near-zero marginal cost (I consider them negligible costs) is the digital nature of the "merchandise"

(a jet engine is a technological good, but it is material, not digital)

other than that, I completely agree. The trend towards centralization comes from the economics of the market (not from the nature of technology)
This is true, but I was really talking about contributing to other people's projects, not my own.
My understanding is absorption of heme iron is only twice non-heme sources. I think that is why, on the balance, vegans have adequate iron levels. Hemochromatosis seems separate from this subject, but perhaps you can help me here - I don't know if hemochromatis leads to differential heme/non-heme absorption or if it's linear. Point taken on menses, however.

I think I will go back to a prior comment and just say this submission is bad and didn't teach anybody any useful new information. Vegans can be healthy, and kids raised on a vegan diet can be healthy. Non vegans can be healthy.

Bad parents are going to be bad parents and that is the real problem here. It would be nice to treat the root causes of that (poor access to medical care, poor education, poorly curated information online, poor social support networks) that worry about 2ary manifestations of that (people given infants almond milk because they are ignorant of nutrition, people not vaccinating their children).
So then why doesn't this appear in any other mammal obligate carnivores?
