IIRC AMD has EEC support in all x70/x50 motherboards and cpu combinations. If I may, what kind of simulations are you running?

I am trying to build a system for Reinforcement Learning research and seeing many things depend on python, I am not certain how to best optimise the system.
I love Rust, and I think that this is a valuable effort but I find the following statement questionable:

> We currently live in a world where deploying a few million lines of C code on a network edge to handle requests is standard practice, despite all of the evidence we have that such behavior is unsafe.

This seems to talk about safety as an absolute, and implies that a memory-safe rewrite would solve the problem. I think that putting any code in the path of public requests and incredibly risky, but a risk that we have to live with at this time.

Reducing risk is always good, especially if it can be a fairly seamless update for the vast majority of users. But let's treat it as just that, progress along a spectrum, not pretend that we have somehow solved the problem.
Arrow is the most important thing happening in the data ecosystem right now. It's going to allow you to run your choice of execution engine, on top of your choice of data store, as though they are designed to work together. It will mostly be invisible to users, the key thing that needs to happen is that all the producers and consumers of batch data need to adopt Arrow as the common interchange format.

BigQuery recently implemented the storage API, which allows you to read BQ tables, in parallel, in Arrow format: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/storage

Snowflake has adopted Arrow as the in-memory format for their JDBC driver, though to my knowledge there is still no way to access data in parallel from Snowflake, other than to export to S3.

As Arrow spreads across the ecosystem, users are going to start discovering that they can store data in one system and query it in another, at full speed, and it's going to be amazing.
I was actually wondering about that when I saw an RSS app on the store. To me it's like an icon that indicates a pre-2012 website, interesting
Management: Be a Quitter
Sorry, didn't mean to make things personal.

I think we agree on where the uncertainty is, I just initially read you as saying you believed there was a definite ongoing squeeze, vs a possibility of continuing the play. And I just want to caution people against believing there's any sure things going on here; we don't have enough data in real enough time to know exactly. What we do have data on is that a LOT of shares are being sold every day, more than 100% of outstanding shares, so those could've been used to close out short positions, or they might not have been. And it could've been a few sellers selling a lot, or tons of sellers selling small amounts, etc. We can't know for now.
Wall street is the house and the markets are the casino. Wall street firms collectively make the rules through regulatory influence and have huge advantages in technology, expertise, information, and capital. The people reliably getting rich are the owners and employees of Wall Street firms.
SSD have hard time sustaining 200-400Mb/s write where is 4 HDD do is easily. Our case isn't that much about IOPS.

Anyway, reasonably available SSDs have up to [1000 x SSD size] total write limit, so doing couple of 400G builds/day would use up the 1TB drive in 3 years. At worst times we had to develop&maintain 5 releases in parallel instead of regular 2-3.

Clearly the market effect working, because Apple did ditch the defective keyboards in 2019. This years laptops are set to revert a number of other unpopular changes Apple made over the years.

I guarantee Apple is only doing these things because the market reception of their 2016+ MacBooks has been less than stellar.
Ah thanks :-) I remember reading that entire page ~40 days ago, must have slipped my mind.
My understanding, shallow as it is, is that property testing goes great with pure functional code, because without side effects you can run tests in parallel, taking advantage of all of these cores and build servers we have.

If your tests are coupled, you're already in a bad way whether you know it or not. Dumping property testing on top of that without addressing the underlying cause sounds like a recipe for misery.

It's probably a great stick and carrot if you're pushing a tech debt reduction agenda though.
If you use Python and want to infer test strategies from contracts, you might want to check out this library of mine: [1].

There are also plugins for IDEs (Pycharm, VS Code and vim), which can be quite helpful during the development.

Unpopular opinion: this is the natural consequence of squatting self-descriptive phrases. Open source is self-descriptive.. the source is open. The phrase was hijacked (by the OSI) and is being squatted on by people who want to enforce a very specific meaning of the phrase, even though it is self-descriptive and broad. If there is any ambiguity as to the phrase, it should be added to with modifiers, and not just claimed. For example, what does open refer to in OSS? Lots of different things. Thats why you should specify when addressing your interpretation. OSS should be an umbrella phrase that covers the multitude of interpretations like source available, FOSS, FLOSS, etc.

I've thought about making a nonprofit called the Grape Initiative which would release a definition of "Grape" that only includes purple grapes. If people want to refer to green grapes well then I guess they will just have to say green grapes! When I think about grapes I always think about purple ones, makes sense to me!
Normal SSDs have more throughput than Optane. Image reads, stats, logs, and checkpoints can all be done asynchronously, so I think a high end flash SSD could very likely perform better for you.
I have got many URLs in newsboat: wc -l ~/.newsboat/urls -> 367. And nearly all of them are shared in recfile: http://www.stargrave.org/links.rec that is linked from http://www.stargrave.org/Links.html. Mostly it contains various personal blogs.
I agree, and was very unclear and incomplete with my question. One alternative is to simply not use the tool. Can be rough though. Your pain is acute!

It absolutely is a feature.

Guess the externalities problem crops up in this context.

How to actualize those costs better so the equation makes more sense?

And yes! I hate lock in viscerally. Frankly, will avoid it at very considerable cost.
Didn't Apple themselves scam the rating system by throwing out 1 star votes for the trading app Robinhood, after it started selling its users GME stock without the users initiating the sale.
I recently bought an external 32GB SLC SSD (in the form factor of an USB pendrive). Its random read/write speeds are quite insane (130+ MB/s both) while consumer SSDs like the Samsung 850 Evo barely manage 30 MB/s read/write. It's also advertised as very durable.

I plan on using a couple of those as ZFS metadata and small block caches for my home NAS, we'll see how it goes but people generally and universally praise the SLC SSDs for their durability.

> You're best bet for long-term reliability is to buy much more capacity than you need and try not to exceed >50% capacity for high write frequency situations. I keep an empty drive around to use as a temp directory for compiling, logging, temp files, etc.

That's likely true. I am pondering buying one external NVMe SSD for that purpose exactly.
That's an difficult and potentially eternal question - some people volunteer to go to space or cross the ocean on a canoe because to them its worth the risk. Some do it for the money. Some are just mad or obsessed.

Back in my time at uni, volunteers had to be unpaid to ensure they do it kf their own free will. Its unclear which is better / worse.

Hi! Author of the post here.

One of the most important invariants that we have to maintain is that there is only 1 container running per repl at any given time. We could determine if the machine is shutting down and not proxy the connection, but we wouldn't have a place to proxy it to since we can't be sure that the existing container has finished shutting down. So either way we end up returning an error and the client has to wait until the old container has been destroyed so a new one can be spawned.
Well, we definitely have a difficult path ahead!

I don't expect platforms like Pairagraph and Letter to change the world over night. But I really do believe that they could have a profound impact. As Carter and I have said in the past, our dream is to live in a society where it is commonplace for people who disagree to make genuine efforts to have conversations with one another. Our goal with Pairagraph is to create a place on the web that facilitates this.

If we get there, it will be inch by inch.

1-Hour Talk and Q&A with the Founder of EZ-Probate
Hello founders. We invite all you guys to our 1-hour webinar with Bayron Batres, founder, and CEO at EZ-Probate.
Byron will talk about his venture, how he came up with the idea, validated that it works, funded his startup, and managed challenges.

EZ-Probate was launched with only $2000 in 2016 and raised $1m in 2020 at a $9m pre-valuation.

If you have questions and want to ask him, please leave a comment.
I don’t think you have anything to fear. The reason people would buy is privacy. If someone gives it away for free they are the product and their privacy is at risk.

Plus the market is enormous. Probably room for a handful of good sized competitors.
They do but it's really large. The Tech Report did an endurance test on SSDs 5-6 years ago [0]. The tests took 18 months before all 6 SSDs were dead.

Generally you're looking at hundreds of terabytes, if not more than a petabyte in total write capacity before the drive is unusable.

This is for older drives (~6 years old as I said), and I don't know enough about storage technology and where it's come since then to say, but I imagine things probably have not gotten worse.

Ego Complicates Science
I've been looking for an open source alternative to VMware vRealize Automation and Cisco Prime Service Catalog. I use Stackstorm and Terraform for the orchestration on the backend. What I need is a front end to put in from them so users can order my services.

I've had a couple of failed attempts at creating one myself. What I keep getting hung up on is that I don't know front end programming. I've tried working on it in the evenings and get frustrated with the front end development.

I've thought about founding a company to work on it and hire some contractors to do the front end work, but I'm not really interested in running a company.
“I know what you bought at Chipotle”
Yeah the 5th season is a struggle for me, too. I stil love watching it but it's a bit slow. It feels it's all character build-up, with little story progression. Amos' prison & planet escape storyline makes no sense in the grand scheme of things. Sure it's a nice story, but it doesn't have much to do with the Expanse universe, the prison/planet escape could've been part of any generic movie, specially because it doesn't really explore the story of Baltimore all that much.

I still enjoy watching it and would've been happy to watch these episodes if the Expanse was like one of the half dozen star trek shows that ran 170-180 episodes each. But not in a 50 episode show like the Expanse is.

It also feels like the character building is a little too late. Exploring Amos' upbringings (maybe 10 minutes before the prison visit after which it's all wiped away) or Naomie being a parent in the second to last season, I don't know. Would've been good to integrate much of that sooner. Feels like we're kind of stuck building up characters as filler to not run out the story too fast. That's okay if it was more spread out over the seasons.
> The fact that retail was restricted to selling and hedge funds were not, further corroborates foul play.

It was not. Only retail that played in a couple of YOLO gamified market brokerages that was restricted.
>Sounds like it's roughly tantamount to giving the cabinet the power to impeach the President

Congress also the ability to impeach the President. Congress couldn't get the votes to do remove the President from office ... so your partisan solution is for the cabinet to find a reason to remove the President? Why? Because you don't like how your fellow citizens voted?

How about this: Vote him out in the next election? Oh that actually happened! And Democracy survived!

For all the talk about Trump, the opposition is perfectly willing to destroy every single norm and democratic institution just to get him.
> It’s generally agreed upon by constitutional scholars that the 25th amendment wasn’t designed for that...

Well, we sure had a bunch of "constitutional scholars" saying that the 25th should be invoked for exactly that. If you want to claim that those people were random people pushing their viewpoint rather than actual scholars, I could accept that. But if you're saying there's a general consensus among the experts, I wouldn't mind seeing a credible source to that effect.
As I've mentioned or alluded to in other comments, I think "open source" as you describe it is broken and unsustainable, and we're happy to have a constructive conversation about commercially viable open source. But if we can't agree that the definition of "open source", like any word or phrase, can change over time, then I don't think there's much of a constructive conversation to be had. Would you suggest we remove any mention of "open source" from our documentation etc.?
Fauci is a highly controversial source. And I doubt you can make such absolute statements given that the data quality is so poor. Even the WHO stated that PCR tests cannot detect an infection. It is only an indicator for doctors to make a diagnosis. So, how can you be so sure?

Unfortunately, with nanopore the errors are biased so you tend to get errors in the same places. All sequencing techniques also have error rates but some are unbiased so running a single sample through (which will usually have many, many copies of any sequence) will average out to a good read of the sequence.

Some good info on next-gen sequencing techniques: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3841808/

Sure, I was just listing one of the many benefits they enjoy. You can view the exhaustive list here -> https://www.aboutamazon.com/workplace/employee-benefits. It includes paid leave for up to 20 weeks, with up to 6 weeks transferrable to spouses, which I hope you agree would be useful to warehouse workers.

That a warehouse worker might benefit less from 401K matching doesn't refute the central argument: Amazon provides high pay and generous benefits atypical of entry level unskilled work that doesn't require a college degree. Not only that, they offer this to 1.3 million people. As a fun exercise, I recommend just trying to do the back-of-the-napkim math and try to work out the total cost to providing $15/hr (at a minimum), generous group health insurance (usually working out to about $1000/month in premiums), 401(k) matching, paid parental leave, and then multiplying that by 1 million (my rounding error there is more people than employed at most large tech companies).
Thank you for elaborating. Do you have any links that further elaborate or perhaps suggestions for papers/books in algo trading?
Germany – the "late nation" – rushed to catch-up with what other nations had. Berlin as its capital was destined to absorb most of the shock waves this coming of age of Germany would stir up. Certainly when it came to urban planning.

You could very well see the "unfinished metropolis" as a focal point of Germany as an "unfinished nation", which includes the unusualness in German history to have a capital city at all.

Damn, I can't believe I never watched Babylon 5, and I'm a big sci-fi fan. Still not too late, I guess, I rewatched Stargate SG-1 recently and it's just as good as I remember.
Maybe this idea needs to mature a bit. I think eSports is going to be the future of sports in general. Normal "sports" bars do quite well (well, maybe not right now) and I expect eSports bars to follow suit.

But who knows, maybe now is not the right time. Besides, most GameStop locations are pretty small and not really zoned for a bar. It was an interesting thought though.
I can't say I buy a ton of apps either. I do use a lot of apps though. Most for services or products I otherwise own or use. My sprinklers, my bank, brokerage, and credits cards, Zoom, iRobot, etc. I do also buy a few apps. Not a ton, but a few here and there. A few calculator apps, a few random games. Things like Pixelmator and Linea Sketch I use quite a bit.

I think I've bought more apps on my iPad than on my Mac. My phone not quite so many, but I've bought a few. Mostly not many because I don't use my phone as much as my iPad or my Mac.

Hi HN!

I'm the maker of Product Farm - a virtual Product Hunt simulator. It uses a machine-learning algorithm (neural network) that has been trained with Product Hunt data to artificially rank products. You can use it to test how high ranking your product would get in Product Hunt before submitting. Or then just for fun.

The project is still an early experiment and many things are under construction. But I'm sharing it here already. Let me know what you think about the idea!

It's actually not better tech, instead it's more complicated, more error prone and less durable ways to use the same technology that produces more space for a lower price. MLC is pretty much okay but TLC is a little too fragile and low performance in my opinion. I prefer spinning HDD's over QLC since the spinning drives have predictable performance.
This is a hard problem that literally nobody is handling well, but Apple has a demonstrated history of solving hard problems, so they should prioritize this one.

I don't actually know what the ideal solution is, but they have the resources and the data to address it in a way nobody else does.

I'm not saying it's easy, or cheap, but it has to happen.

Make it happen, Apple. This problem is a submarine, and it will torpedo you if you don't.
Facebook actually has this as well... But hardly anyone uses it?
Jupyter has downsides too, e.g. version control. An R Markdown document "in the raw" is just a text file.

For info, Rmd also uses pandoc under the covers. Agree it's the power tool, quite a wonderful thing.
KDE has more manpower, and while it still has far too many bugs to be my daily driver, I only have tons of respect for the galaxy-brain maniacs who work on it.

XFCE doesn't have such a big team, and they are careful to maintain stability, so they are going to work slower. I accept this.

The reasons I _personally_ am convinced Wayland is bad has nothing to do with XFCE support, really.
Tesla's supercharging network is a very under-advertised feature of a Tesla. So many people think that a road trip in a Tesla means frequent 1+ hour stops to charge, when in reality its closer to a 15-30 minute charge every ~2-3 hours. Supercharging stations are typically spaced close enough on the US Interstate system that you'll usually drive to around 20% battery and then charge to 80%, a range which optimizes charging speed.

Sure, for some people, this is still not acceptable. I won't deny that an ICE is still going to be faster and more convenient.
If there was a single report of exactly one of the scenarios I described, I would have more doubt about fomites not being an issue. Ideally there would be more than a single documented transmission event.

If fomites were a thing, you should see contact tracing coming up with things like "the delivery driver dropped off 30 packages and 6 people got sick" or "the chef at a takeout restaurant packed up 30 orders and 5 people got sick." I've never seen anything like this though.

At this point, a year and 100 million cases in, absence of evidence is evidence of absence.
