I remember randomly visiting a lecture of one of my professors that specializes in high performance computing, he was showing off the research they do and it was regarding computing the necessary "parameters" for this. Apparently calculating the parameters for a single patient to focus just the right spot and not damage anything is a task that takes several hours on a supercomputer. This might've been like 5 years ago.
Probably because the poor guy's theory isn't true for all possible cases ever, isn't peer reviewed etc.
Because submarine style high enrichment pressurized water reactors are both a nuclear proliferation concern due to their fuel type (i.e. much closer to weapons grade uranium than normal reactors use) and INCREDIBLY expensive. The reactors built for nuclear submarines are performant, not economical.
First of all, taxes will be what, a quarter or a third of it. So ok, north of 1M, still enough to retire. Second of all, if you bring in more than a million and spend most of it, down to 500k, in 3 years, then that's on you..
I am a bit confused. Is it like product hunt?
> and literally has almost no downside to accepting any customer for currency exchange

So, there are a few things going on. First of all, there are downsides; in particular, it’s a money laundering risk. But also, it’s logistically expensive; the bank has to keep a stock of foreign money, and occupy an actual human dealing with it, and, these days, the rates they can reasonably charge for it are pretty low.

If you’re looking for someone to blame for this, probably primarily blame the free market. Traditionally, banks did physical FX, at rates that were generally a horrendous ripoff, but all consumer FX was a horrendous ripoff so what were you going to do. Today, it’s possible for consumers to do FX with costs in the 0.5% range, lower for large amounts or if they pay upfront for Revolut’s premium plan or something. This doesn’t leave much margin for the banks if they want to be even vaguely competitive, so they’re only going to do it if it’s cheap to do. It is not cheap to do.

This is actually generally a positive outcome for most consumers; FX is much cheaper and more convenient than it used to be for more people; it’s only if you want to exchange physical money that it has become more difficult.

This is intriguing. Interesting, how does this new Influx engine compete in terms of performance with VictoriaMetrics (which is written in Go and really fast)?

They moved their entire stack from Go to Rust, rewrote the system from the ground, and spent a lot of time on it, I guess this is a big cost.

Is it worth it?
Never thought people would understand it like this.

I genuinely appreciate the feedback, and we never tried to sell hard.

thanks
Your average productive firm is not incentivized to optimize CRE value. However, they are often renting commercial real-estate on a fixed-term lease and need to get what value from the remainder of their lease that they can.
I suspect he's thinking about the stack vs heap distinctions.
Haha! Weirdly, I'm going to be spending this month trying to see if something like that makes sense.
rather than "disallow vertical integration", start with "disallow lock-out". By all means, vertically integrate as much as you want but it should not be illegal for someone to take your hardware and use it for another purpose that you have no say in, or write and run software using your hardware without you having a say in that.
The last thing I did as a student in university was grab a windows 10 education product key. They let computer science students get windows install keys for personal use, and I grabbed one. Been using it on my personal machine for years since and it works great.

As far as I can tell it isn’t tied to the university in any way. When I dig into settings it doesn’t look like I have management stuff being applied to my personal machine. And I’m using my personal account, not a school account. It’s just a win10 pro/enterprise that has all the tracking stuff forcefully disabled. It has a bunch of actually sane defaults. Cortana is off by default, and honestly I don’t know if it can be turned on. No ads on my Lock Screen. It’s just a cleaner version of windows.

Don’t know what I’ll do if I have to do a new install, as I’m not a student anymore. And not sure what upgrading to 11 will do with my existing install. But my laptop (home edition) has a ton of annoying stuff and I don’t ever want to fiddle with it. It’s always nagging me about onedrive or about bing rewards. My desktop with Education edition though never gets in the way.
Agreed. We initially used Timescale for our GraphQL Metrics product[0] but very quickly ran into scaling & performance issues. We switched to Clickhouse and have scaled 10.000x+ since with almost no issues.

At these meetings both interpretations motivate agreement but neither is mentioned.
Also, Timescale similarly introduced S3 for bottomless data tiering:

There was a time when "grasping" something was a literal thing. Strangely enough, however, I only became aware of this when I studied Hegel and some even more obscure texts from Friedrich Engels about Darwin and the importance of the hand for human evolution.Probably his 'Dialectics of Nature'.
Huh! Does this account for the difference between what we perceive as "room temperature" and our body temperature? I suppose that delta in temperature depends on medium the body is surrounded by and effectiveness of heat transfer (e.g. similar issue as evaporation, but maybe not the same direction?)

Nearly everyone on this thread is saying how this isn't a practical solution to the problem, and nearly everyone is missing the point: it's not meant to be practical in any way. It's an art installation. It's meant to be big, ugly, provocative, a bit trolling (see the name, parasite) and generate a discussion on the issue of homelessness.
The northeast corridor is practically as dense as western Europe and we have a number of car-dependent cities denser than major transit-rich European cities.

> Guess what, in small towns in Europe and in rural areas, most people have cars too, and they drive to get their groceries.

That's fine! lets get our intra and intercity transit solved and small town people can keep doing what they've been doing.
The statistics I've seen (on California[1]) suggest that homeless folks are generally locals, not migrants? But I agree that just providing some usb ports on public transit (likely also in stations or at stops) would be a low-cost/high-benefit approach. For human-powered approaches, I will say that old OLPC hand crank was a good design, since it clamped to a table or railing, which allowed for clever 'hacks' like hoisting a bucket or water bottle and letting the weight coming down turn the shaft [2]. Still less practical than just plugging in, to be fair.

Chrome was noticeably faster, not just the benchmark but actual usage , in both startup time and ajax sites. It crashed less often, and when it crashed, usually it took down only a single tab instead of the entire browser. The UI was more minimal and clean.

It was superior in almost every way. All other browsers had to play the catch-up for a while - especially the performance.

This is backwards, social solutions are actually harder than a tech fix, because any tech fix won't be an actual fix. It will just be a band-aid that won't solve the underlying social issue.

Imagine, for example, thinking the solution to male loneliness or alternative patriarchy is just a better bumble/tinder. Social problems cannot be solved by better technology simply, the problem is much more complicated than that.
If Ukraine had ceded Bakhmut, they'd have to retake it at some point. Taking ground is harder than holding it, especially against a prepared defense. Which we're seeing in the ongoing counteroffensive.

I don't see you proposing an alternative to what the Ukrainians have chosen to do that doesn't leave them with a lot more territory to retake, or ceding a bunch of territory to Russia on a basically permanent basis.

And let's not forget that they're doing their damnedest to attrit Russian materiel all the while they've been fighting to hold or retake territory. Every weapon system they've been given to strike behind Russian lines and destroy materiel, they've used for that purpose. That both reduces Russia's availability materiel, and screws with their logistics by pushing back their various assets and supply depots.
Totally agree. For a trading job I guess I could provide the evidence. Especially if the job is inside crypto. The point is just. Maybe it is crazy to walk away. I'm somehow more interested in learning something outside that area.

Like a job at faang, would be exciting (pretty sure very hard to get into it with my profile). The goal would be anyway to learn as much as possible.

PS: Even thought about applying to internships, for jobs that are a bit outside of my skill set. But guess that is a bit weird as well

Microsoft didn't have a monopoly on PC operating systems. They did get gifted a huge market share by IBM making not one, but two bonehead moves, first giving MS the license to DOS and then dawdling on OS/2 long enough for Bill Gates to lose patience and ship Windows 3. But MS never had a monopoly. Apple shipped PCs with their own OS. IBM had their own version of DOS and shipped PCs with it. There were even still CP/M machines around for a while. And there was Atari and Commodore, each of which shipped their own PCs with their own OSes. Then Unix variants began to be available for PCs.

Standard Oil wasn't a monopoly either. There were other oil companies in the business. But Standard Oil was selling oil, at a profit, at lower prices and in greater quantities than any of its competitors. The competitors didn't like that and got the government to break up Standard Oil under antitrust law. Which, as I've said, made things worse for customers.

In other words, if the competition simply doesn't compete very well, or makes bonehead decisions, a company can get a large market share, yes. But "large market share" is not the same as "monopoly".

If you want a better example of government created monopoly, look at ISPs in many areas of the US, where for many years state and local governments gave one company exclusive rights to sell Internet access in particular areas. With the expected result that Internet access sucked as compared to areas where there was competition. Much of that has gone away now, and Internet access as a result is much improved in those areas.

Flac takes a lot of space on my drive. Most people will not want to have that much data on their drive just for music. If i look at my folder now:

Yanni Rainmaker Flac -> 40 MB
Yanni Rainmaker Mp3 -> 3MB

More than a factor 10 for a single song. For 50 songs that would become 2Gb. I love flac as a format but i would never recommend it as a general format for my grandmother.
The amount of times I've been asked to treat a database like any other stateless microservice is crazy. I've been asked to support time machine like behavior where a user can deploy any version of the database (given a list of schemas and other database config variables) and expect it to work even if they were moving from v9 to v3 of the config.
I think it has to be a different HW. Iroamed a lot about it, and have your same conclusion.
To your parent comment, yes. Is about SW. And the problem I see, ist that today we have super conputers with studio level audio, and cinema quality video. But programing anything other than a “hello world” or basic text application, is so difficult and complex, that no average kid will endeavor such a trip. Frameworks, Libraries… full of rabbit-holes that I do not dare to enter being a professional programmer.
We need some simple language that allows to bild interesting things relatively easy… like endbasic in other comments.
Not every state has inspections. So the infrastructure to check/validate odometer readings is lacking.

The "we" clearly refers to society at large. (I suspect you read what you wanted to read)

> Some people want to give up their cars, but you need everyone to want this, and they don’t

This is moving the goal posts, nobody said everyone would want to make s transition and a requirement for this is a novel requirement only now introduced by your response.

The example is akin to: 30 people are currently driving to s grocery store 0.5 miles away. If the sidewalk to that store didn't end after 250 feet but actually went all the way, then 5 people would walk. If there were a bike lane, then 3 people would bike, if there were a decent bus, mird would ride, and finally if it were closer..

The line of logic given is basically, "because 100% of trips are done by car, nobody wants any alternative infrastructure, and suggesting that some people would use any alternative infrastructure is a war on cars."
Yup. The second order effects are tricky. Gas tax was an elegant solution that will not be easy to replace.
It was not my intention to trigger anyone. I only wanted to say why dark matter is given the time of day. If I came across as condescending or as a know-it-all, I apologise, it was not what I wanted at all.

I also must apologise for my use of the term "emergent property" regarding gravity — judging by your response, I seem to have alluded (unintentionally) to a whole other theory of gravity; I only wanted to say that gravity itself is the curvature of the geometry of spacetime rather than a force in the conventional way it is described.

Also, regarding alternatives still requiring dark matter, it is my understanding that MOND and its derivatives explain galaxy rotation curves but not other phenomena that dark matter is purported to resolve (galaxy cluster formation/structure, gravitational lensing, CMB). If I am wrong about this, I would welcome correction. On the other hand, if your comment simply meant that there are alternatives to DM and MOND that require no DM, fair enough, I should have been clearer and said that some of the foremost competitor theories still require DM.

But I stress again, I am not fighting DM's corner or saying that alternatives are wrong. My stance on it is irrelevant, and I have no more belief in it than any other explanation, belief is irrelevant and doesn't enter into the matter. I was just saying that I understand why a theory that inflates mass arbitrarily, and understandably ruffles some feathers as a result, is given any credence at all.

Personally, I understand your frustration with DM, it does not seem like very good science to let unexpected or inexplicable observations make us simply add parameters without making further predictions to test if that's the right thing to do. Does seem like we're manipulating facts to fit the theory where we should be altering the theory to fit the facts.

Since DM is a substance that, for all intents and purposes, defies detection by any means at our disposal, it makes no further predictions, it just lets us push the square block into the round hole — what we should be doing is finding the square hole.

> Well that world would suck immensely, with horrible integration between hardware and software like exists right now outside of the Apple world.

Why? The hardware people at companies like NVIDIA or Apple already have to write detailed documentation for their stuff anyway so that the software people can do their side.

Assuming they do a good enough job at writing documentation and testing their hardware, it should not be a problem for Linux developers to write appropriate drivers. Hell there are a very few select people able to write high quality drivers even with zero documentation (see Asahi Linux).

The only ones in trouble would be the vendors of crap SoCs who ship extremely buggy hardware and make up for the lack of QA in software quirks instead.

Russia has had overwhelming artillery superiority for well over a year. Even the most pro Ukrainian news outlets haven't denied this. Hell, Biden even came out and said that the US had run out of 155mm shells to give Ukraine. This is after a year of fire rates that were 1/3 of what the Russians managed. Again public information.

The offensive was initially supposed to reach Mariupol or Melitopol which would have been a legitimate success. It's ended with a promise to maybe get to Tokmak which will make zero difference strategically. It's failed - completely.
If most of those hit in one year and as short term gains (which algo trading will be), taxes in my state would be around 12% and federally would be around 35%. You're down to just over a million. Paying yourself a salary means 15.3% on whatever your salary is for FICA/Medicare. For a $130K salary for each of 3 years, that's another $60K, taking you to right at a million before you've spent a dime on anything except taxes. Your first box of ramen makes you not a millionaire.
That's pointless work because there's no incentive to do the "mining" (because nobody "wins" ). If you implement a system to choose a "winner" then you didn't need the computations in the first place because you've invented proof of stake.

You are really literally like me because you did the things I did. I have also dabble with them. I have also experimented with it. Only thing is I never made anything valuable. I guess I only did it for sake of learning and being happy.

Conversation with Exuma has made me realize he only learns when he absolutely needs to, while I learn when I feel like learning.

Then I can't also put focus. Because of inefficiencies in other aspect of life. I can't optimize because I am just paranoid on most things. I would love to work for myself but I do not come from a background (because of work, energy and time) where I can sustain it. Maybe I should think of ways to do it and try to find ways.

However, do you think putting 2 hrs a week on a single project for extended time will take me to places?

Maybe.

But this does not really support your statement no? What you described seems to me SW only functionality no? And if in requires any special HW (BT? I have no idea how it works under the hood), why does it need tight integration? I do not see a technical reason why Android and Windows could not provide the same feature out of the box, despite neither the Google nor Microsoft making the HW.

A traditional monolithic database assumes that you have locally attached storage. All of your ingest, indexing and query processing happens on the machine with that storage (i.e. your compute and storage live together). The cloud kind of complicated things with EBS and high IOPS network storage, but generally, those work kind of the same way. The volume is mounted on a single machine that uses it.

When people talk about separating compute from storage, they mean pulling compute heavy tasks like query, ingest, indexing, and compaction apart and using a shared storage tier that many systems can talk to. Usually this is object storage paired with some sort of catalog (kept in either object storage or some other store or API).

Snowflake popularized this approach in the data warehousing and OLAP space with great success. Their papers submitted to VLDB are great reads on the topoic.
Would you say something similar about computers?
