> Neural networks need completely different optimisation methods, and there is no practically useful application of any of the Newton or Quasi-Newton methods for their optimisation.

I don't think this is quite fair. There are several variations of 2nd order methods, notably KFAC and Shampoo, that seem to quite effective for large-scale neural network training, e.g., see the intro of this paper for an overview: https://openreview.net/forum?id=-t9LPHRYKmi

I'm an ex-Amazon employee and approve of this response.

It reflects exactly my experience there.

Blameless post-mortem, stick to the facts and how the situation could be avoided/reduced/shortened/handled better for next time.

In fact, one of the guidelines for writing COE (Correction Of Error, Amazon's jargon for Post Mortem) is that you never mention names but use functions and if necessary teams involved:

1. Personal names don't mean anything except to the people who were there on the incident at the time. Someone reading the CoE on the other side of the world or 6 months from now won't understand who did what and why.
2. It stands in the way of honest accountability.

Do financialisation and constrained land supply mean house prices have to rise?
That public status page has no bearing on service credits, it's a statically hosted page updated when there's significant public impact. A lot of issues never make it there.

Every AWS customer has a personal health dashboard that links the issues to their services which is updated much faster, and links issues to your affected resources. Additionally requests for credits are done by the customer service team who have even more information.
Well, there is supposedly a distinction between swamps (which are dominated by trees), marshes (which are dominated by grass) and bogs (which have a pH differing from 7). This is already kind of a weird classification scheme, since the trait that defines a bog is so wildly different from the trait that defines swamps and marshes. And then, if you believe in this scheme, "wetlands" is the generic term referring to all of them.

But 1cvmask is actually correct that the generic term was (and still is, outside of specialized scientific terminology) "swamp", and pushing the approach of my earlier paragraph constitutes a renaming.
Side note this is a useful pattern I use in general. Use python to get some data into SQLite then I either use fast api, datasette, or Streamlit depending on what I want to do with the data. SQLite is great and a lot of the power of SQLite I feel hasn’t even been fully tapped yet by the community, especially virtual tables.

The bench is both a lucky and unlucky place to end up. You don't have to work, but there's an expectation you'll be doing something - but nobody tells you what, beyond "go upskill yourself". No guidance. There's an expectation that you'll be looking for roles, but there aren't any to be had, and reports to be made, though there is nothing to report on. It's like Kafka, drinking coffee, and sitting on an unexploded bomb rolled into one, stressful experience.

We had this situation over a year ago also and we really needed to re-evaluate the culture in a way that fitted devs reality and needs.

One year later we have people come back to us so I'm hoping to keep this trend :)

Yes, RDP is mind blowingly good compared to VNC and most other tools for "office" applications. I'm fairly sure for non video/game content it just sends the "vectors" of the UI over which get rendered on your local machine instead of compressed bitmaps (I could be wrong on this though).

Sounds like they sell it to the NSA/CIA/FBI so it's used for "national security" and not ransomware worms.

Really? In my experience clubs hire DJs and radio stations are typically national and have the record labels pitching new content to them. I’m not sure either are interested in the “discovery” we’re talking about.
I was wondering that too. I guess this the lab that recent Bloomberg news is talking to but I haven't been able to find the actual paper.

Nope. Firewire is masterless/multi-master/peer-to-peer. That's why you could not only transfer music from you laptop to an iPod, but from one iPod to another iPod without any (other) computers on the bus. It is also why two computers can by attached via Firewire, as a generic network link or for low-level debugging.

> We have trucks that can carry 12 cruise missiles, and launch all 12 of them near simultaneously. A bunch of those trucks lined up on a highway aiming to the ocean is pretty easy to think about.

If there's no “counter battery” to worry about, maybe. Lining up your trucks on a highway is a great way to get them all destroyed by a single air attack…

And there's no way it's gonna take a million drone to sink a ship. Modern ship defence systems haven't been designed against a huge number of small targets. A hundred armed drones might even be enough to overflow the tracking system. For reference, the Israelian Iron Dome[1] can only track 200 targets[2] and we're talking about a system that has been specifically designed against swarm attacks.

> Unless you have a large enough customer base and can pressure carriers into peering with you in weird places

You are confusing peering (settlement free interconnect) with interconnection points. If you wanted to build a datacenter in Finland and buy transit to reach the greater internet, it will always be cheaper to buy your own fiber to {London,Amsterdam,Frankfurt,etc} than to pay each carrier to extend their network into Finland.

> Deutsche Telekom AG in Germany does not peer at DE-CIX because they just don't want to.

This is false. DTGC is present at DE-CIX and is pushing between 10-20G of traffic. They may not want to peer with _you_, but they are peering across the exchange.

> It's also the reason why YouTube regularly stutters in the evening for DTAG customers.

You don't know that. Most YouTube traffic is served by Google Global Cache servers and doesn't transit the internet or public exchanges. DTAG may not have enough caches or capacity provisioned, but that is a decision they have made about their customers experience. Google will happily give them more cache nodes if they ask.
This resonates with me.

I'm actually thinking that at some point, no one will be building custom software. Everything will be available off the shelf, as some product, running on some cloud within a few clicks.

So "custom software" developers are a dying breed.

For example, when Jira is down, a Jira "specialist" will tinker and bring it back and look like some guru walking down the mountain of knowledge. Arguably, this person probably wouldn't know anything about SIMD. Yet the SIMD guy is looking for a job, no one cares about that guy. But the "salesforce developers" and "Jira specialist" are permanently employed at very high wages.

Yep, joined a company that had solid benefits. Within two years they had switched from a PPO to a high deductible medical plan, killed all bonuses, and stopped their 401k match. But they didn't lower my salary! (It didn't go up either, they froze raises too).

We ran into this too, i actually think its a terrible postgres default. Logical replication slots should have timeouts where if you haven't read the WAL record in say 24 hours it should be dropped. Make it configurable and set a sane default, problem solved.

You'd have to resync the followers/secondaries, big deal, its way better than the primary going down because its disk filled up. This failure mode is awful. On RDS its relatively painless because you can snap fingers and have more disk but if you are running it yourself? Good luck.

In practice, mongodb’s oplog mechanism, for example, which acts as a circular buffer with a set size is a much more tolerant implementation. If the oplog rolls over befrore you've read it just resync but at most its taken up 10% of your disk.
I think this is off-base. Not being a political Collectivist has very little to do with participation in civil society. Americans were far more Individualist in the past and had a much stronger civil society. Conservatives also tend to be more Individualist, but are also more involved in civil society, mostly through churches.

This opinion just doesn't reflect reality.

As always, the best analysis of the decline of civil society is Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone (and his subsequent research to supplement). It's a bit academic, and sometimes biased, but it spells the issues out quite well

The primary issue wouldn't be latency. It'd be access to assets (which can easily be tens to hundreds of gigabytes for a modern game) and upstream bandwidth (which is often as little as 5 Mbps for residential users).

These aren't problems that a blockchain can solve. In fact, I'll go a step further and say: distributed graphics rendering, or other computation, isn't a problem which is made any easier at all by the application of a blockchain. It's yet another case of cryptocurrency enthusiasts taking a problem that people seem interested in and claiming, without justification, that The Blockchain Solves This.
> Sure, you might like one manager over another, but they will probably be gone in a year anyway. In my two and a half year career at three companies, I have worked for 6 people.

It's strange, the most common - and best in my opinion - advice we give to junior professional searching for their first job is "Don't pick the job/company/role, pick the manager" as the manger is the main defining factor on how good/bad your experience will be. Once you have more experience (usually 2-3 years), you usually start feeling more comfortable picking a role and prioritizing benefits/company values and all that stuff. Of course, knowing if the manager is going to be stable at his job is part of the process of picking the "right" manager. If the guy is brand new at this job or if he has done 5 companies in 5 years, it's a red flag.

Two and half year career at 3 companies working under 6 people sounds really weird. My personal internal clock is that a new employee (junior or senior) reaches his full potential after roughly 6 month of stable environment.

> among other things because they hold that Apache-2 is too broad to be a copyright license and thus has to be interpreted as a contract instead.

Which is inane because a copyright license is a contract anyways. My understanding is that the number of lawyers who agree with the OpenBSD position is approximately 0, even in jurisdictions that don't have Anglophone interpretations of contracts and copyright--I haven't seen any lawyer come it in favor of the OpenBSD interpretation here. (Note too that criticism of the GPL doesn't include this--and if Apache is too complicated to be a copyright license, the GPL certainly is.)

There is also a certain irony in arguing that clarifying the terms of a license great yields less clarity than not doing so.

Most standard C library features don't contain implementation choices that have different ABIs. The types of the function arguments determine everything, so the only way to have instability is to tinker with the compiler or its options that influence the ABI at a low level.

They must be thinking of some very specific functions.

In <stdio.h>, functions that are implemented as macros can peek at the FILE * structure, so if that's not maintained in a backward-compatible way, that would be a problem. (In that case, if you #undef the macros to reveal the real functions, you're almost certainly OK. C programs do not declare or initialize FILE objects.)

struct tm could cause issues; if hidden fields are added to it, which existing binary clients don't define.

Various things in POSIX can have a problem also; it has a lot of structures, the storage for many of which are defined by client programs, and in some cases even initialization.
I think it depends: not using specifically env variables for configuration should let be a big deal. But hard coding values rather than using some sort of configuration file is bad practice and could cause issues on a team.
It's not really clear if this advice is for within the enterprise (a company that maintains so many systems they spend millions to integrate them) or at the edge (a company that needs to integrate with multiple third parties). I can see the argument for the intra-enterprise work being valuable, but at the edge I'm less convinced.
