No. Hyperdrive is not like the official BEP-conform "mutable DHT item"-based updatable torrents.

"Reasonable" is a stretch, "interesting" is the right word. Personally I'd put this in the "Oh, huh" box along with quantum crypto. It's interesting, it's complex and it's got way too many engineering hours behind it... but ultimately for 99% of people or even 99% of computer scientists or HN readers, it's just fascinating trivia.

I absolutely appreciate these posts, this guy spent WEEKS delving into the depths of SnapChat just for the joy of discovery.

Maybe a good classification would be that part 1 is detailing a number of obfuscation techniques and the key thing to take away is that all of them CAN be bypassed.
You can check this chart for dangerous interactions between common recreational drugs. As far as I know it's well researched. Alcohol and acid are fine together, it just suppresses the effect.

LSD is a remarkably safe drug when it comes to interactions with other drugs.

It might still not be the biggest scandal in the recent history of Germany: From 1993-1999 a company named Flowtex caused 4.2 BN Mark (roughly 2.1 BN € or even 3 BN if adjusted for inflation) of damages with a remarkably simple fraud scheme: They would claim to produce horizontal drilling machines (which allow you to e.g. put in tubing for cables without completely opening up roads) that they would sell to leasing companies they controlled themselves. Those companies would then lease back the machines to FlowTex, which would supposedly provide them to construction companies. The lease-back of the machines allowed the leasing companies to get bank loans to fund the buying of the machines. That alone would be legitimate, the problem was only that most of the machines existed only on paper, FlowTex simply sold the same machines over and over by just changing the serial number plates on them. So overall a pretty simple pyramid scheme which required FlowTex to sell more and more non-existant machines to cover the leasing costs it paid. When it eventually collapsed the scheme had caused a massive amount of damage to banks and the state. One of the reasons it could go on for such a long time was that FlowTex had good connections to the state government and the CEO Manfred Schmider and his company became so famous that they were considered "too big to fail" by banks and even the tax authorities, so they didn't act for a long time even though it was apparent quite early that something couldn't be right. In the end the Portugese authorities tipped off an investigation when they discovered FlowTex had supposedly bought drilling machines from a company in Portugal that went bankrupt a long time ago.

And while Manfred Schmider went to jail for a couple of years he apparently still managed to move a lot of his assets overseas and comfortably lives on Mallorca today. I'd not be surprised if Wirecard turns out to be a similar case, it's just hard to imagine that they really got defrauded by their banking partners and that a company of this size would simply entrust 1.9 BN € to some random lawyer based on the Philippines, this is almost certainly a cover-up story.

Enron is one example of how these things can turn out, but Herbalife (HLF) is another. HLF is a multi-level marketing company; they're a shady company in an inherently shady business; they have far-flung operations; they aggressively went after people expressing negative information; they had questionable accounting; and there were eventually regulatory rulings against them. But they also are a profitable business that sells stuff that people want to buy. They started getting a lot of press over being a fraud in 2012, today the stock is 30% higher than the 2012 peak, and Bill Ackman lost around $1B shorting it before he gave up.

"Fake it til you make it" isn't just for tech startups. A lot of companies juice results with a bit of fraud, but eventually get good real results anyway. It's hard to tell the difference between an outright fraud and a healthy company with aggressive accounting.

Because the benchmark is currently the only way to compare two devices using different chassis and give an answer to a specific workload.

Yours is nothing but theoretical.

The Multicore benchmark compares a 8 core with a dualcore which is a bad faith comparison.
To add to your example, everyone that targets mobile devices with native code tends to follow a similar path.

Usually making the application run in the host OS is much more productive than dealing with the emulator/simulator.

Is Fractal Tree Index what is used in TokuDB?

While it sounds nice in theory, in practice it was very slow. The only thing TokuDB good at was bulk inserts. Other than that both writes and reads were slower than B+ tree.

I think eventually TokuDB just faded away.

Is there any other implementation of COLA/Fractal Tree that fares better?

Again, the scaffolding effect. Greatly illustrated by how the civ games teach about history: they teach absolutely nothing, all their models are fantastically wrong and a core element is the counterfactual nature of how a game plays out (culminating in Gandhi's bomb threats). But they give mental scaffolding that is valuable in those topics where you'd otherwise start from an empty slate. When for example you know nothing about west African history and read a text about it for the first time, just having that image of the Mansa Musa avatar in your mind will give you a retention advantage over someone who doesn't have it. It works much like a condensation seed then, a mental bookmark to which new information can be attached before getting lost as essentially noise.

But I wonder if that might also come as a disadvantage in the classroom, where the remaining facts and methods grind has to be enforced: if, for some reason, you felt the need to make pupils knowledgeable in the sequence of popes, that incredibly boring class would naturally be spiced up with anecdotes of dual antipopes, the cadaver synod and so on. Would that last hope of making that class somewhat bearable be lost on someone who already knew those rare fun parts in between all the numbers, e.g. because of playing CK2?
I am looking for the same. Might be too early to tell though.

There's a middle ground here. I don't need all of my individual ethical beliefs encoded in a software licence. I also don't think we have to stop short at the lowest common denominator of "freedom" without responsibility. Enough people share a similar enough concept of justice for another approach to be both possible and pragmatic.

Whether you are up for the challenge of thinking through the implications of your contributions or not, you hold some of the responsibility for what you create. Avoiding deeper reflection on those contributions is a dangerous thing.

The problem is that the breeding protocols inadvertently created a selection bias towards long telomeres. Mice with extra long telomeres have exceptional tissue repair capacity while also being susceptible to tumor growth.

The supply of lab mice can be corrected to have a more natural telomere length. All past studies that used mouse models to study the impact of drugs are skewed to under report toxicity and over report carcinogenicity.

A superintelligence is a hypothetical agent that possesses intelligence far surpassing that of the brightest and most gifted human minds.

Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman
A modern classic, Einstein’s Dreams is a fictional collage of stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905, when he worked in a patent office in Switzerland. As the defiant but sensitive young genius is creating his theory of relativity, a new conception of time, he imagines many possible worlds.

Maybe. The problem is that I'm guessing Apple wants to move to their own ARM not for more compute, but more power efficiency. Intel has never been able to deliver on the low power side.
Sugary drink tax models show health gains, cost reductions, but vary by design
It absolutely must be, because they have even vegan options here and there. Sweden, for instance, has had vegan burgers for several years (first McBean and now McVegan). I know other countries have something similar.

It seems to me that US McDonald's must be scared of diluting their brand by also going after the veggie crowd. Perhaps due to McLean failing or that they just bide their time until they can make a whole new set of restaurants under a different brand name like McDonald's Green or something?
If you can throw money at the problem and invest engineering resources to do cost optimization later, this is often a valid strategy.

It's often easy to test if scaling the instance size/count resolves a performance issue. If it does, you know you can fix the problem by burning money.

When you have reasonable certainty of the outcome spending money is easier than engineering resources.

And later it's easier for an engineer to justify performance optimizations, if the engineer can point to a lower cloud bill..

I'm not saying it's always a well considered balance, just that burning money temporarily is a valid strategy.
Nobody's drawing conclusions here. All I'm saying is that it isn't crazy to think that an A14 part will be competitive with Intel's lineup, especially from a core performance perspective.

Power limits and memory hierarchy both benefit the 9900k heavily in this comparison, which is why I went with the single-core score. I'd be surprised if an iPhone 11 Pro Max will floor all its cores even for a short microbenchmark. A desktop/laptop A14 will likely look much more competitive in these respects.
Indeed, as developer I use Macs to build iOS and macOS stuff.

Assuming you're confident around CS fundamentals, good software engineering practices, and higher math (statistics, probability theory, linear algebra) — you can take shortcuts that won't cut it for complete newbies, like playing around with other people's Jupyter notebooks with handy examples and reading good books/papers that come with lots of prerequisites.

You can navigate through some good books here: https://datasciencetexts.com/

Notebooks you can play with: https://github.com/WillKoehrsen/Data-Analysis
(there's a link to Will's Medium page in the repo description, there is some good advice, too).

I'm curious to hear what do you want to learn Data Science for though. Stating your goal and possible areas you want to focus on would help to give you the right resources a lot.
>> Don't miss the forest for the trees!

I'm sorry, I think you took my comment in the wrong way. I didn't mean it as some kind of put down. I wished to explain how this kind of thing works.

In the same spirit, of a friendly sharing of knowledge, I would also now explain that what you are proposing, "buildig a car out of lego", or in general assembling structure out of modular components, is not what neural nets do best. Neural nets are best at mapping between sets of objects. Typically, one set represents some entities we are interested to categorise and the other set represents the categories to which we want to assign the entities in the first set. To "build a car out of lego" you would need a different type of AI, like a program synthesis algorithm, or an Inductive Programming algorithm (machine learning algorithms that learn programs from examples; and which I study). In such a setting, your "lego" would be functions or sub-programs and your "car" would be a program created by combinations of the given sub-programs.

Also, neural nets, especially more modern ones of the "deep learning" variety are not limited to boolean features ("data containing Boolean true/false values") and can instead be trained on arbitrary real-valued data. What is often done when training language models is to encode training data in a "one-hot encoding" manner, in which the "features" are very long boolean vectors, with one element for each word or character in the raw text and with a "0" representing "no occurrence" and a "1" "occurrence", of a particular character or word. This is not the case for other types of data, e.g. in machine vision the feature values are raw pixel data, in time series regression they're arbitrary precision real numbers etc.

I confess that I'm not sure how the data looks for neural nets trained to predict chemical structures. It's possible they're one-hot encoded vectors, like for text.

No doubt you can train a neural net classifier to make yes/no decisions about possible items on a menu, but my guess is that a system of this kind would look at customer preferences primarily, rather than the chemical composition of food items. After all, the chemical composition of a dish will vary a lot more than the preference of a particular individual, or group of individuals, for that dish. By which I mean, if I like spaghetti carbonara, I will probably like it regardless of its exact chemical composition, but I won't like it. e.g. if it lacks pancetta. My guess is that the relevant elements of the dish are in the scale of cooking ingredients, rather than the scale of molecules. So a system like the one you describe would be better off taking into account the composition of a dish on that scale.

On the other hand, if you wanted to assemble a menu with finished dishes from a list of ingredients and examples of recipes, then you would need a system like the ones I describe above, in the program synthesis or (preferrably) Inductive Programming category. Or of course you could write a program encoding the rules you have in mind by hand. This is not a task where AI is absolutely necessary, I feel.
So, I work in a niche domain - scientific software.

For one thing, you can already get scientific libraries on Linux which run on ARM. That's not too much of an issue. BLAS is an API of which there are many implementations.

The issue is that
(a) it requires everyone to recompile everything
(b) projects which are 'legacy' and are no longer developed just won't ever switch, so that software won't be runnable. If Apple do a Rosetta equivalent, they'll run slowly, but if that project ends (like Rosetta), that software will just stop working. This is pretty much the same problem as where Apple have killed x86 - there are many apps that just no longer work.
