Oh, i'm 100% on board with the fact that it's not the experts' fault. But it's also not at all fair to say "Thousands of people are working on this, so we can't be sleepwalking!" and that's what I was responding to. Thousands of people might be working on this, but if their work is being ignored or undermined, they might as well not be.
All very fair points. Thanks.
Were you guys eating plain lobster, or enjoying it with lots of butter, salt, seasoning, etc?

It's not just perception. Lobster is not very flavorful on its own. I don't mean, "this flavor is an acquired taste" - I mean there really is not much flavor there.
This analysis entirely omits the cost of a sysadmin to manage the storage servers. Even if sia is assumed to do almost everything, and even if we only want 95% uptime, you still need someone to deal with software updates, hard drive monitoring, etc etc.

The profit of $570/year/box is not enough to pay a part-time sysadmin and still have any useful profit.
Assembling computers and replacing drives is generally speaking unskilled labor, right there next to factory workers.
I'm honestly more worried about the economic toll than I am the health impacts.

So many people are going to lose their jobs, their homes, and their healthcare, if everyone continues to cancel all travel and entertainment. These economic events have real impacts on families for a generation. And service workers will be the hardest hit.

The median age of fatal infections is 75. And yet we have healthy 25 year olds holed up in their apartments, hitting local economies hard. It's nonsensical. Most people should be behaving normally with some added protections (like washing their hands), and those who are at high-risk should be protected.
That's the sense I meant it, but I think it's an abuse of terminology. i.e. confound is not obviously a noun :)
This is great! Would love to hear more about your experience working on it if you are interested in sharing – did you notice any particular tasks where this type of interaction shined?

Hetzner's super cheap "cloud" machines allow you to attach "block storage" volumes of whatever size you like. It's not particularly well advertised (searching for this sort of thing takes you to their dedicated storage offerings) but it's there and it's great.
It's a vanilla implementation of JAX-RS. The rest of the libraries are lightweight wrappers of JAX-RS with few committers or massive wrappers of JAX-RS with a lot of development overhead. JAX-RS on its own is mostly at the right level for me (with the exceptions mentioned).
That's a fairly obvious problem, but I think the larger problem is what I said in my other comment: The lack of strong business connections.

It is a self-reinforcing nightmare because it sets women up to assume that if a man is taking a strong interest in her, there is only one reason he could be talking with her. If she then reacts with flirtatious behavior or trying to make sure he understands whether or not she is romantically interested, etc, this can drive off men who would like to make a business connection and don't need some woman threatening their marriage, etc.

Somewhat of a random question, can you point me to some state of the art research?
Thanks, my mistake, corrected it.
Was the Neolithic a big mistake? [video]
Facebook has your phone number even if you've never used Facebook, because all of your friends that have your name and phone number in their address book uploaded their complete address books to Facebook.

Then, when you use another service, and don't even create an account or log in, and simply provide that service with your phone number (e.g. OpenTable, Deliveroo, AirBnb, others), and then that service provides a complete log of all of their transactions to Facebook with phone numbers and email addresses, now Facebook can associate your purchase history with your name, email address, and phone number provided to them by your contacts. It's called a Shadow Profile.

It has nothing to do with "us[ing] Facebook as your ticket to all the other services". They track you even if you don't have a Facebook account at all, and don't create accounts on other sites, simply through your telephone number or email address. I wouldn't be surprised if they're also storing credit card numbers (or one-way hashes thereof) to cross-link purchases, too.
It's outrageously low. They're also fancifully assuming cpu tdp = electrical power, cooling = 0w, and another 0w to the motherboard/network cards. And each box has 1 non-redundant, schmuck-grade $80 psu, as well as a consumer grade mobo. This would never be anywhere near their uptime.
Nobody is "right all the time", least of all Richard Stallman. He's a creepy asshole who doesn't respect boundaries.
I think it's interesting to dive into the economics of 95% uptime. Maybe you don't need full datacenter cooling; you can just locate in a cool climate and have a fan in the window blowing cold air in. If there's a blizzard, you lose your drives because snow blows in and melts on your drives. If the chance of the blizzard * price of drives is less than needing 750W of cooling, then you win. Yeah, sometimes everything shorts out.

Power is similar. Maybe you just use solar and turn the drives off when it's cloudy. With enough distribution throughout the world, it will probably be sunny somewhere.

I haven't done the math and I'm not saying it will work out favorably. I also don't have a use case for 95% availability. (That's two weeks a year where your data is gone!) But it's something that someone with the right needs could consider, and maybe come out ahead of someone shooting for 5 nines and drives that aren't covered in snow.
> This is a term that can make people struggling with eating disorders kinda lose their minds.

Maybe focus on the actual thing and not policing speech?
Cutting out high-GI foods doesn't produce nutrient deficiencies, since they're generally calorie-dense but low in vitamins etc. If anything, the fact that you're getting more meat and veggies to make up for it increases your nutrient diversity, from day one. So again, you're completely wrong.

As for adaptation taking merely days, what's your source for that? The common wisdom and community consensus that you'll read anywhere is that it takes roughly 2 weeks to 2 months to adjust. You're the one claiming this is wrong. So what exactly is your proof here?

Look, I'm glad it wasn't a problem for you. But claiming that therefore it isn't for others, just doesn't hold water.
It's not the rate that matters. It's the actual number of deaths.

SO FAR, this flu season, the CDC attributes 20,000 to 52,000 deaths to the flu in the US alone. Coronavirus has killed a tenth of that worldwide. So, no. Coronavirus is NOT anywhere near as bad as the regular flu.
Yeah, this is a line of research that's been ongoing for a while and "CPUs not GPUs" seems like of it's rallying cry but this seems involve multiple incomparables - like a combination of apple-to-orange and banana-to-peaches comparisons (different algorithms on different platforms doing different tasks judged according to a different success criteria, jeesh).

The thing is there's no benchmark for just neural-netting. Neural nets do well on a variety of image recognition tasks but the nets that do well as particular trained instances on particular data. And, moreover, it's not just doing well on a benchmark but generalizing well. Essentially, neural nets simply algorithms but paradigms (for good and ill).

Instead of the babble about CPU vs GPU, they should be talking the strengths and weaknesses of their approach to image recognition and related tasks. Their locality sensitive hash approach is certainly interesting and some parts of their approach might hypothetically be useful for dealing with the weaknesses of the neural net approach (fragility, black-box-unexplainability, etc).
Choosing a GPU for state-of-the-art Deep Learning
I had a clients contract that had this in it:

"Recover any and all actual, incidental and consequential damages to XYZ, including but not limited to actual or estimated loss of profits and sales and costs to cover, attorney’s fees and costs.."

I wrote back: "Nice try but yeah, no. ;-) "

(My lawyer fixed all these overreaches and they were a great client.)

As an aside my lawyer told me that when you a drafting a contract with someone you want to work with, its best to be fair. If you don't, you're starting the relationship where the counter-party doesn't trust you. After all, you tried to screw them the very first chance you had.

That scans. I hate chat apps, personally, but we are required to use Teams at my workplace. Teams is truly horrendous. I would strongly prefer that we used Slack.
Vipps has very poor validation of money transfers and there has been a lot of fraud already where people craft Vipps messages that look like official transfers and then tell people that they send money wrong and ask them to send it back. It is very hard to rectify things like that.

A bank will tell me if I enter the account number wrong at least and show me the name of the account holder before I press send, with Vipps you just go without validation.

Direct bank transfers in Norway can be made instantly for a tiny fee, but personally I have yet to be in a situation where that is required.

If you want to go the Joel Spolsky, "managing software teams is psychotherapy" route, then two other questions are

"why do you dread coming to work"

and

"what were you working on that distracted you from the time?"

Being late to (most kinds of) meeting while preventing a production outage, or helping another team, should not just be allowed, it should be respected.

This one I think happens more often than people think. And if you keep sending the message that your meeting is more important than the health of the company, well, eventually you're going to get what you asked for.
Agreed, love this feature and use it often. I wish it saved the last few searches to quickly access commonly searched items.

Certainly. Our philosophy is to complement human wisdom with computer precision. Humans may often be labeling for 8 hours a day and may get fatigued. So if Starbucks has been labeled as a cafe 35x in a document and as a person 2x, we can flag this and ask "hey, are you sure you wanted to label this as a person?". Or if we know for a fact Canada is a country, but it's labeled as an animal in a document, we can raise a flag as well. This won't work for everything, but we think it can help with quality assurance.
Congrats on the launch! I spend more than 50% of my time labeling data and this will make life much easier.
In 2019 the lobster fishermen in my area of Canada sold lobsters to buyers for about $6 each. That was for "markets" the size that are sold to restaurants.

The lobster fisher has boat payments, fuel ($1,000 to fill the tank per trip), wages for helpers, insurance, zone license. Now more rules to prevent right whales from getting caught in ropes. Which means new rope or new ways of handling the traps and equipment. And there is a quota so you can only catch so many.

Meanwhile that $6 lobster goes for maybe $50 or $100 in a restaurant in a large city.
Power is also a high cost in a good data center, and Epyc also smokes Xeon for perf-per-watt.
They're not talking about a real datacenter; they're talking about a deathtrap crypto mine with hard disks instead of GPUs/ASICs. Can't you run a million hard disks off a consumer cable modem? ;-)

At the (slow) rate Sia is growing, I don't think there will ever be enough demand to justify this design anyway.
Thanks, my actual product does that now. (qtra.io, collaboration tool for product level TRAs, exports to Jira for normal agile backlog grooming of threat/risk stories into iterations and development, shrinks TRAs from weeks to hours,) It generates a graph on the back end as well, aggregating risk data across all customers, without proprietary vuln data in it.

However, reality is on this project, all the input data exists in spreadsheets, which means you have to normalize it into your graph ontology data model. The SaaS here would be something like Graphene or hosted Neo4j.

If there were a graph model for something like powerBI for graphs, that could be a play. Else, it's more of a high dollar consulting solution.

Finding that SaaS in enterprise is limited because most enterprise people live in spreadsheets, which are both orders of magnitude more sophisticated, yet stunted compared to SaaS. But for all it's limitations, excel is turing complete, and your CRUD application never will be, even if the users don't know what that means. Enterprise tech is about generating data to drive conversations, it isn't about solving problems because managing that problem is somebody's job.

If a CIO came to me and said "fix my company," I would say, "sure, give me your data, then 6-12 months to herd all your cats" and I could do it. Nice lifestyle, but there's no exit in that.

This is not true. In fact, I doubt dietary cholesterol has any affects on blood cholesterol.

And also I've done the same exact thing you mention and it didn't affect my blood levels at all.

How about "because putting Junior or Associate in someone's title diminishes their importance to the project and these people are some of our most senior technical people. Making a joke out of them will encourage them to go work for someone else"?
This has been my experience with any complex product. All our media is regressing to the layman's mean. Why bother posting technical specs and information if 90%+ of your customers won't bother looking at them?

Frankly it makes us all dumber.
> You've made the mistake of assuming that any significant fraction of the population even cares.

No, I haven't. I wasn't commenting on what most people care about. I was commenting on what I, and people who think similarly to me, care about.
I think I got it right now.
I'm not sure how you are drawing that conclusion based on what this post presented:

>"Suppose I go to a restaurant, and I booked using my name and phone number. The restaurant sends that data to Facebook to say "Terence Eden ate at this restaurant on this day." Facebook can then tell if I saw an advert which led me to make a purchase."

An ad blocker and not having FB isn't going to stop a restaurant from participating in this FB program. And if you follow the short URL of the Twitter user the author quotes, it links to a Privacy International report that states:

Facebook routinely tracks users, non-users and logged-out users outside its platform through Facebook Business Tools. App developers share data with Facebook through the Facebook Software Development Kit (SDK)"[1]

So the combination of some random app on someones phone built with FB's SDK and a brick and mortar retail establishment using Facebook Business Tools seems like it is enough to thwart even a fairly ardent privacy advocate. I'm not seeing how an ad blocker would help against the combination of these two things. It's also well known that FB maintains shadow profiles and buys offline data.

The US regulators are painfully aware of device rooting and how it allows to subvert any client-side security measures.

Disclosure: I have been dealing with certain state regulators and their morbid fear of forged geo-location data for a number of months. It would be inane to assume other regulators would be any less informed about the threat vector.

If I drink coffee I definitely notice a need to clear the bowels more often (probably twice a day). Energy drinks and caffeine tablets don't have that effect on me, so once a day works fine.

The only negative thing is that I often work until right before I need to sleep, so if I'm drinking something mindlessly while working I end up waking up in the night once.
Each of the 64 pieces is fetched from a different host on the network, meaning all of the IOPS are happening in parallel at network speeds. You aren't going to be doing sub-millisecond updates for sure, but you can easily get under 100ms.

The reed-solomon also isn't even the most computationally expensive part, the computationally expensive part is computing and verifying the Merkle roots. All parts of the system though can go >1gbps on standard CPUs.

Genuine question (and hoping for your opinion here), why would I use Kotlin over Java? Outside the obvious like developing on Android.

Likely never. They don't even recommend having a cluster with varying Intel processors. Ideally with Vmware every machine in the cluster has the exact same model processor. Want to upgrade to a new processor? Start a new cluster.
Someone at a meeting recently quoted some historical figure about "If you want me to write a speech of 5000 words, that will be a thousand dollars. If you want me to write a speech of 500 words, that will be ten thousand dollars."

Writing concisely is a virtue, but getting in all the details often matters more. It's fine if the first draft is wordy. If you can reach a point where it tells the story well and is also concise, you probably have something "worth its weight in gold."

It can take a lot of time to get there. Good writing can take a lot of time. This is often not at all obvious.
> A simple ad blocker and not using fb would solve this issue entirely.

No, it doesn't. This issue is unrelated to using the web or Facebook.

> Transaction data like restaurant purchases is only useful in this scenario if it’s linkable to other online tracking data on you.

It's also useful if it's linkable to to other offline tracking. But that's beside the point -- the point is that I don't want this data to be sent to these companies without my consent. Whether or not it's actually useful to those companies is a completely separate issue.
