Easy to test.

1. Send back the document he sent with a copy of your most recent edits and ask him to confirm if his document is correct.

2. But, make note of at ONE error, and see if he fixes all of them.

3. If he only fixes only the one, then he's either really lazy or trying to keep up the deceit.

4. Repeat steps 1 to 3, be sure to CC everyone involved. If he's lazy he will be ashamed and be more careful. If he's a sneaky bastard he will most likely get angry.

Not foolproof, but will sure make everyone aware of what is going on. (regardless of the motives)

Great writeup from David as always. Can’t wait to see more!

The guide does do that, but, regardless: like a lot of acronyms, they've become terms of art and spelling them out is not instantly helpful to people who have used SAML before the way that say, spelling out "ICYMI" or "FYI" would be.
Thanks, I missed that. I've moved things around a bit.
the main reason you cannot mix CPU architectures in VMware systems is because doing a vmotion with zero downtime is impossible without major performance hits.

having clusters with the same configuration is useful because it allows vcenter to migrate virtual machines to another hardware host without any downtime on the VM's part.

Why does it need them in the US ? - From what I understand section 230 protects a company from lawsuits related to content posted by their users, signal is not a content platform as it does person-to-person communication

But other companies still do business with them, right? So they're getting away with it.
Unfortunately, as with all cases of information asymmetry, I lack the tools on which to assess them. But since it's required that I do make an assessment, I am going to have to take an extremely self-defensive posture.

The attorney is the expert. I am not. If the attorney makes a mistake, I have no tools with which to judge whether it was stupidity or malice. I have to assume that it's both. My own attorney may better be able to make that assessment, and I'll respect their judgment. But until then, an opposing attorney has to be assumed to have all of the power and every reason to use it.
No, but I love me some hyperbole.
There's a reasonably popular streamer named Michael A. L. Fox, his URLs are his full name and in casual conversation he's referred to as MALF.

It doesn't seem like there's been any association between him and the company Fox. In fact it doesn't even seem like there's any association between him and Michael J. Fox.

My personal advice would be to brand around the imagery of a remote controlled fox and not bring up other things with the same name. The comparisons will happen but if you don't call attention to them I'd bet it happens less than you imagine.
Fascinating and awesome diligence.

You'd be surprised at how awful women can be to each other.

LOL. No, I wouldn't be surprised. I'm well acquainted with the phenomenon.

The only people I see activity holding back women is other women.

This framing may be on the mark, but my observation has been that the primary way men are a problem is that men mostly don't want to engage a woman too much if they aren't looking for a sexual relationship and this is a huge barrier to networking, getting referrals, etc. I don't think most men are intentionally, actively and on purpose trying to keep women out, but it's a big, big problem that they don't want to talk too much to a woman for fear that it might lead to an affair or a really terrible misunderstanding or gossip.

For serious business people, a good reputation is worth a lot of money, so I think a lot of businessmen don't want to take the risk of talking overly much to a woman for fear of pointlessly sullying their reputation. In most cases, they don't strictly need to network with women to further their career, so it's just not worth the risk involved to them most of the time.

I just don't understand it.

I think I do, at least to some degree, but this is not really the time or place for me to natter on about it.
Was looking for a Java lightweight framework for an API and, there are so many!

Javalin, Jooby, Spark, Micronaut and more, what do you like about Jersey over these ones?
Reads shorter than 64 bytes on a CPU all cost you the same: a packet of 64 bytes on the memory bus, because that's the atom size of modern CPU's DDR4 memory controllers...

On GPUs the atom size is 32/64 bytes. So GPUs are always better than or equal to CPUs when it comes to small reads/writes.

It's true that the compute power of ethash is not negligible, but to give you one more data point: on equihash there is even less compute spent on hashing, and GPUs still dominate CPUs
Strange. I'd swear that there's a glut of borrowing, not saving.
I actually agree with most all of your posts. The one big difference, though, in my opinion, is that when adapted to a very low carbohydrate diet, it's actually easier for me to not eat. That's it. To me, it's the lone advantage. It's not about the palatability of the low-carb meals. It's that I just seem to be less hungry. I can skip a meal and it's no big deal. When I'm higher carb, missing a meal takes a way bigger toll.

One other thing I'd offer -- for long endurance activities at higher heart rates (e.g., cycling in zone 4 for more than an hour), you absolutely have to supplement with carbs. You can go a long time in Zone 3 on a low carb diet, but as exertion increases, you burn through those sugar stores and bonk. I've tested this repeatedly. In case it's helpful to others, you can consume quite a bit of sugar on a hard ride and be right back in ketosis hours later as your muscles take up the glucose first.
The only reason GPUs can hide the latency is the massive parallelism in the problem space (computing the hash for nonce n doesn't block nonce n + 1). This algorithm involves a lot of data-dependency, so a computer for training these networks actually may be memory-latency bound (unless you are training a ton of neural networks and can hide the latency), which is extremely bad for GPUs.

Scale offers labeling as a service. Datasaur is an interface that companies can buy for their own labeling personnel, if I understand correctly.
Whether or not the tech companies have too much power does not sound like the most relevant question here. The lack of power of citizens of communicate privately is the more worrisome thing. And maybe some random person is right to say that all of his communications are not something to hide. It becomes something else if lawyers and journalists can't protect their communications. If the state cannot suffer that it is rather likely that it is engaging in dirty business that it wants to hide, as pretty much all of them are.

Using "8x 4 way SATA data splitters".

What i don't get is why they don't use 14TB HDDs, they are only 15% more expensive per TB. On the other hand they'd need 2.33x less PCs at $550 each, plus their power use.

So instead of every 7 PCs with 6TB HDDs they'd need 3 with 14TB HDDs.

PS: They could also use a mainboard with 10 SATA ports instead of 8. They are only $15 more than the chosen board. Adding one or more PCIe 8x SATA controller cards might also make sense, depending on the average load of a system.
Apologies for the delay! There is some overlap with what Prodigy works on and I'm a big fan of what they're working on. We cover some additional use cases (like coreference parsing) and additionally help with managing teams of labelers. We're complementary in many regards. Happy to discuss further, based on your labeling needs.
In what way does capitalism act to prevent concentration of political power, then?
Its super interesting to dive into the world of cryptocurrency mining, where some DCs are getting PUE of 1.1 or better with a buildout that's basically amounts to shelves and box fans.

No generators, just eat the downtime. No batteries. No 24/7 staff. No racks, just shelves (folded sheet metal is cheap). Security varies from farm to farm.

These servers don't need to run cool, as long as you are in a climate that doesn't get over 100 degrees you can get away with fans and no AC.
Great catch! We'll correct it asap. Since you caught it, we'll give you unlimited labels :)
> Just like WWII was because fishing boats were afraid to leave ports lest they get caught in cross fire.

Just the cross-fire? Weren't they also being directly targeted themselves?
I'm not comparing what one country is doing in relation to others. I'm saying that the CDC has their own criteria of what cases qualify for tests. They're not going just wake up one morning and say "yep let's ramp up to 300M test kits because people in the web are up in arms", that's not how it works. They look at the data they have then decide what to do. That's what risk/cost analysis is.

What you seem to be missing from my point is that things take time to do and larger bureaucratic institutions move slower. While the CDC hasn't formally stated the reasons for delays in test ramp up, it's entirely plausible that they're slow to update their analyses, recommendations and action plans because of broken telephones/bureaucracy/politics/etc. If, as the rumors go, the CDC arm needs money to make test kits but the president says "nah can't be that bad", then yeah you can bet things are gonna move very slow.

With all this said, I'm not sure why you are using the word "justify", as if the involved parties are naughty kids to be spanked. I'm not very interested in armchair judgment.
the one thing that annoys me about let/const that leads to me occasionally using var is that with var you can declare a variable in a try block and then use it afterwards, instead I have to declare a let outside the try or put way more then I want to in the try.
This drives me insane. In the early days you only got exact matches, now in an effort to sell more ads, or be more “helpful” you get random crap. I would pay for a search that only returned results with the words you entered.

> So in short: this bill is a backdoor way to allow the government to ban encryption on commercial services.

I'm all for this. Suddenly people in tech would have to start taking free & open source decentralized services seriously instead of lazily relying on Google and Facebook while complaining about how evil they are.
This reminds me of the idea of net promoter score in customer satisfaction surveys.
It's a variation on the idea that it's better to have imprecise knowledge that is relevant than precise knowledge that is irrelevant.
Net Promoter Score replaces a litany of questions about satisfaction with a single question ('would you recommend this product to a friend' (yes/neutral/no -> 1/0/-1)?
You take the average of this score ((yes - no) / total) and it corresponds roughly to the health of a product.
The basic idea is that asking a bunch of questions doesn't really add much knowledge, and giving more choices and asking more questions can actually lead you down a false path.
Doubtful anyone else cares but if you are looking for the Jim Ryan quote in the linked article you should search for "anybody" not "anyone" as the quote is slightly wrong in the Medium post.

That's right! Scale probably has some awesome internal tools that help them label faster. Datasaur wants to make those same optimizations available to anyone with their own labelers.
And if it was common enough to be in many contracts, we would have found at least one example.
Not sure if OP is the builder, but a question.
How did you/he thermally couple the cpu and gpu dies to the case? Is it really just air?

If all you intend to do is generate hashes and run for the exits when your mining equipment is no longer economical, due to difficulty increase, sure.

Reliable data storage for paying customers is a very different thing.

NY’s Telecommuting Tax Penalty
Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "intelligently validate the quality of labels in a document and complement human judgment", and discuss your methodology?

This seems to operate under the assumption that human labels are not actually the ground truth. I understand that they can be dirty, but most unsupervised approaches aren't producing a ground truth, either. So, are you saying it's better to have multiple pretty good sources of truth instead? Because depending on the application, that might make sense or it might be like trying to start a farm with a dead horse and a dead cow.
It is extremely easy to go over the tow and payload ratings for any minivan sold in the US market (and that's without getting into why vehicles with transverse engines make poor tow vehicles). Towing at or beyond design limits is more irresponsible than owning a pickup truck IMO.
> why can't the business do whatever they want with the data?

Because we have yet to tell them they can't do whatever they want with it. That's the purpose of regulating it.
Can you detail on this and what type of training you do? Also what type of gains you experienced?

Sure you can do full keto and weight train but I am interested in the gains versus low carb / medium carb diets.

As for me, I'm on a low carb diet mostly, although I do enjoy some days of high carb as well.
It does surely go around often. It also looks like it doesn't often (but this one is a negative, so one can not be sure).

No alternative is rare, so the ratio is the interesting measure. (And no, I don't know this one.)
Congressional Report Faults Boeing on Max Design, FAA for Lax Oversight
One interesting point of reference is that backbaze currently charges $5 / TB / Mo. Assuming they haven't changed their profit margin of 50% from 2017 (https://www.backblaze.com/blog/cost-of-cloud-storage/), then this would imply that they have a direct cost of roughly $2.5 / TB / Mo.
I felt the same way, and it's part of why I made spendweek.com (a privacy-first, easy-to-use competitor to Lunch Money, YNAB with a single focus on saving money instead of keeping track of all your accounts).

Everything you said is precisely what is controversial and under question these days regarding both decision fatigue and ego depletion. The original experiments proposing such theories have failed to replicate.
Hmm, good point. The way it works now is: if an actual is coming from an external source or a formula, it updates automatically (if it's manual, it doesn't). Once a month is closed and you want to start using that month as an actual, not a forecast, you just need to press a button "finalize all actuals for current month", and it all happens automatically.

We are positioning our product as much more lightweight and affordable solution than Adaptive or Anaplan.
I have a friend who does atmospheric physics research (nothing surface level) and who looks into solar intensity from time to time as a side thing. IIRC, she told me there are intensity cycles that definitely do affect the earths temperature and that they vary over a course of only a few years. I think she said we are at a solar minimum right now, which is making it look like global warming has been less than it is. Apologies if I am mis-remembering.
Per-site reliability (beyond a stated/assumed 95%, which is right around the "I put a computer on my desk" level) isn't a design goal, though. You can argue with their math or their assumptions, but you can't say they're wrong for not designing in the reliability features you list above.

Those links are beautiful. It's nice knowing someone else out there has some sense. It makes me feel less alone.

But sadly the pedants won't let this go. The misuse of const is already documented as The Right Way, baked into libraries and live in production in millions of places. Sad but true.

I'd love to do some GitHub sleuthing and find the first few developers out there to publish a project that misused const in their code, so we could tar and feather them. Though obviously being some sort of fad or mass delusion, it wasn't entirely their fault.
Yikes - good point. We'll optimize.

AMD is a classical hardware manufacturer in that they don't respect software as an equal partner in modern hardware development, despite the fact that their core competency is making general purpose computers. It's not a capital issue, it's a cultural one.

That said, AMD (and Intel) have reinvented themselves several times with pretty big cultural shifts so I'm hopeful they get someone like Jim Keller with the authority to shake things up.
This is so true. Lobster is not particularly flavorful on its own. People typically drown it in butter, salt, and maybe some Old Bay seasoning here in the US. It has always been pretty obvious to me that folks are enjoying the salt and the butter probably more than the lobster!
No. The difference is those with means can accept the risk of asking for more. It's not simply that they ask, its that they survive when/if it fails.

Hey Lunch Money founder, if you are reading these comments, a big congratulations on reaching $1K so quickly! I loved reading your story so far.

IMO getting to that first $1K is harder than getting from $1K to $10K. Most first timers never make it to $1K at all.

Author here. A lot of these numbers are drawn from experience in the mining world, where people realized that when cost is the ultimate bottom line, a lot of corners can be cut.

Sia systems don't need a ton of networking. I ran the networking buildout costs by some networking people, and again it comes down to cutting corners. If you only need 10 gbps per rack, if you don't mind having extra milliseconds added, etc, you can get away with very scrappy setups. The whole point is that it's not a highly reliable facility.
PEI here too, yeah you often hear stories of how they were crawling on the beaches and were often used as fertilizer.

While I wouldn't give as much weight to microservices—because 99% of teams shouldn't be using them—he makes quite a few good points.
I observed a similar anti pattern on booking. There, the scores are up to 10, so technically they should be more fine-grained.

It looks like this until they ask you to leave a review. Then the questions are like how was the check-in, the check-out, the parking lot and the cleanliness of the room. Now, if 3 out of 4 are good, then you just scored a dirty place 7.5/10. If you put cleanliness on so-so, then it is 8.7. Scores get super inflated to the point that all places are 9/10.

But I am guessing there is a reason. These aggregators must look like they contain only top-notch ads. And so all metrics are inflated.
Backblaze has tried to make their datacenter as efficient as possible, and still only ends up hitting $5/tb/mo for their b2 service, as a point of reference.
You might need something to scare the living hell out of you in a deep existential way. Something to help you realize how little time you have left in your life. Something real and deep and motivating. But nothing nice or happy. Deep and dark. You need a rock bottom to bounce up from.

Now, you can manufacture one yourself. Or you can wait for life to hand you one.
