No. NY4 is in Secaucus. NYSE operates out of an ICE (NYSE parent co) owned facility in Mahwah about 25 miles north of there. They managed to pick out the one big US equities exchange operator _not_ running in an equinix facility.

Sorry but this whole post sounds like someone who is sort of HFT adjacent but doesn't really know what they are talking about. Sending orders at "09:29:59.9999971 at the hope your order arrives at 100ns past 9.30am." What?
As skyyler pointed out, my gripe is not with pacman but the fact that the author of TFA asserts that an OS is user-friendly even though it ships with a broken package management GUI out of the box.

I don't have a horse in the pacman/apt/rpm race since life is too short for those kinds of arguments and I'm sure they all have their pros and cons. Having said that, I'm not sure why having a preference for apt or rpm would be elitist though.

I saw no valid counterpoint for the question "Does it cost more to build an iOS app than a web app?".

1 is obvious, you can develop for web everywhere but can't build iOS apps everywhere. 2 also apply for web but without the $99 fee. 3 is the most nonsense defense of apple gatekeeping I read today, it obviously relates to cost if apps get denied for marginally competing with Apple.
They also charge differently (extortionately, some might say) for different speeds of data feed, although I'm not sure if they have tiers just for HFTs.
The complexity of c++ syntax makes it a lost cause (like rust syntax unfortunately), but the root of this tool is "syntax simplication/sanitazer" too.
Acknowleding there is an issue here, a core issue, is growing up, and this tool is part of this trend.
There are various options, production grade systems like flink and spark use akka (iiuc) for the distributed building blocks. But of course that's only building blocks, they still have to build up the system.
In other words, Tesla is over/done. Unable to compete on value, the company just took a hard right turn toward irrelevance and is now desperately trying to wring the last bits of profit out of their over worn hype cycle. Nothing illustrates this better than execs jumping off this sinking ship.

Like most things in the current AI cycle, self driving technology is mostly just hype --- over promised and under delivered.

The lack of real "intelligence" is evidenced by the fact that "self driving" typically dies at the first unexpected/unforeseen road condition.

Don't take my word for it, just ask GM which is "redeploying" Cruise vehicles with --- wait for it, "human" drivers. Or read Tesla's "self driving" disclaimers which mandate the full attention of a human "driver" at all times.

In other words, Musk started promising it over a decade ago but the best thing you can do today with Tesla's "full self driving" is turn it off. It should be pretty obvious by now that "self driving" really isn't anywhere close to a reality.

Whoa, thank you! I don't know much about RF and learned ad-hoc for this project, and it seems perfectly plausible to me that someone knowledgeable would be able to look at this and identify a root cause - I certainly didn't do anything special for clock recovery, and based on the name I would have blindly assumed that synchronising the carrier wave _would_ be tantamount to recovering the satellite clock. I haven't researched clock recovery yet, and will do so. Once again, thank you!

I'm saying the guy can get a little overly excited about things which are hard to measure or quantify.

Let's back this up a little bit. We've got Marvin Minksy who comes along and destroys the perceptron. Then we have decades of knowledge systems that go nowhere. All the while Geoff Hinton is tirelessly working on neural networks. Finally after decades of hard work the fruits of his labor are recognized with ImageNet.

And then a bunch of people in a comment section criticize the guy for getting "a little overly excited" about the stunning range of neural networks that validates his life's work.

Great job, all around!

My experience is analogous to yours. Initial motion sickness, *strong* de-realization and de-personalization (especially with hands, but also my torso and legs).

Nausea didn't get better and seemed to be present when my head was turning but the camera was moving either the opposite way or in the same direction but too fast.

I have some really good memories of spending hours inside of Obduction VR (highly recommended if you liked Myst / Riven / The Witness / etc), but the de-realization was so severe that I ended up abandoning that form of entertainment out of concern for my sanity.

Why Microsoft goes to invest $1.5 billion in a company with such lax corporate governance, I can’t tell. Tahnoon is literally above the law in the UAE.

Yeah, it's really a question of timing. If the "parts being added back in" is happening at design time, or early validation testing, then fine.

If it's an important part and it's being added back after shipping a physical product to customers, that's a different story altogether.

I agree with your sentiment but I would clarify that historically some exchanges did indeed create custom order types for larger clients that were not always public knowledge. I think that has mostly been eliminated but there are still a range of unique order types you can utilize depending on the exchange.

So your business metrics suddenly dropped, but what has changed?

This service is using 80% CPU, that seems a bit high... but is it always this high? Looks like it spiked within the last hour. But wait, it does that every Monday at 9 am, so probably a red herring.

This cache has a hit ratio of 60%... is that good? A bit low? Actually it's suspiciously high compared to last week - looks like a lot of people aren't getting a personalised feed.

Metrics are incredibly cheap to keep around for the value you get from a good operational dashboard, despite what Datadog/Amazon/Grafana Cloud tells you. It's just the most egregiously overpriced data you can buy since 20 cent text messages.

A good start is to set up VictoriaMetrics with some collectors and set retention to 14 days.

§3 Discussion: "The estimated mass is also too large for one neutron stars or two neutron stars in a close orbit, so we are left with the possibility of: 1) a single BH; 2) an inner binary containing two BHs; or 3) a BH and another compact object. Although the single BH is the simplest explanation, the hypothesis of an inner binary of two BHs cannot be excluded [...] radial-velocity [...] perturbations are too small to be detected in the Gaia RVS [radial-velocity] data[.] For the purposes of the subsequent discussion we have adopted the single BH hypothesis as the most likely explanation."

Someone with more patience (or more troll-energy) than I have right now might try to introduce this into the handful of threads here containing various complaints that (clearly assuming a single BH), "size" is being punned as mass in the newspaper article linked at the top. If, for example, the ~33 M_sun ("mass of the sun") mass is evenly divided between two central BHs with the giant branch star companion orbiting them (cf. Alpha Centauri AB + wide companion Alpha Centauri C and similar triples), what's the most reasonable understanding of "size"? Or what if the dark component has a mass-ratio of ~ 30:2 split between a BH and a satellite NS? Total mass remains ~33 M_sun, how has "size" changed?

(Answer: "it hasn't". Generally I agree with the comments that read "size" as meaning mass and disagree that it should mean the Schwarzschild radius, and not just because the dark component might not be very Schwarzschild-like at all. Perhaps someone might do an ELI5 of dimensional analysis g = T^-2 L -> M = T^-2 L^3 or Gauss's law for gravity. (Serious ambition would be ELI12 of the argument around the "scale separation" towards the end of the excellent <https://physicscourses.colorado.edu/phys2210/phys2210_fa20/l...>, where we'd distinguish the scale of a possible inner-binary from the scale of the giant star's orbit around it.))
>> Guys, this frenzy of computer languages with ultra-complex syntax requiring absurdely massive and complex compiler infrastructure has to go away.

>> Don't you see we need the other way around, namely computer languages with simpler syntax.

You can't "wish away" essential complexity. Programming languages can be "simple" or "easy to use", but it's hard to make a programming language that does both because software development has some elements that are complex by nature. There are trade-offs to be made when designing programming languages.

Overly simple programming languages are toys. No one uses them for real work because they are too limited or too constrained.

Some programming languages like Python and Go (to some degree) hide a lot of complexity and are easy to use for many use cases, but the complexity is still present and becomes visible when you try to do something outside their common uses.

Other programming languages (like C, C++, and Rust) hide very little and give the software developer more control in exchange for more complexity. This requires more skill and care but allows for leaner, faster software.

Rich Hickey has a great talk that highlights the differences between software that is "simple" versus software that is "easy":

I agree that R/ggplot is often more straightforward, but the main reason I (and most colleagues I've worked with) tend to use matplotlib is just a preference for python over R in general (to each their own though, that's not a debate I'm looking to start). If I'm doing data analysis in python already, it's a pain to export out just to plot in R. That said, it's definitely a steep learning curve, especially because it's something people usually learn on the fly instead of having any kind of formal instruction. I do think seaborn has really helped boost ease of entry wrt plotting in python at least.
At least there's one thing everyone can agree on: what seems to be true is true.

Not full accelerate, then switch to brake, then full accelerate again, I think that's fairly clearly within normal parameters of human control. What's being discussed here is full accelerate, then full brake while still fully engaging accelerator, holding both down even to the point of the car stopping, then releasing the brakes and fully accelerating again. I struggle to think of any situation where this, holding the two pedals down at once, doesn't represent either an error or such a total failure of human control that the car should stop anyway. If it was a manual you'd stall it, and that's a perfectly fine behaviour to emulate.

"My article" isn't mine, it's an article discussing a lengthy technical debate recently held on the merits of zoonotic origin Vs Lab leak origin cases with a great many qualified onlookers, experienced judges, and $100K USD at stake on the outcome.

You may feel the article is biased as the (qualified) author clearly thinks lab leak is an improbable origin, you can go to the actual debate record being discussed and judge whether that was a fair pitting of one viewpoint against another - great lengths were taken to ensure a fair playing field in a debate for a cash prize.

Nobody is certain .. that's your ongoing strawman in in all your comments here so far, but the probabilities with all things considered very heavily fall on the natural origin side.

The best arguments put forward for a lab leak being more likely failed to carry the day.

It's still possible just very unlikely and certainly not certain.

Show HN: Generate Images in Seconds, Without Limits, One Purchase
Hey HN,

As a fellow creator, I've always struggled to find an affordable and flexible image generation tool that gives me the control, privacy, and ease of use I need. That's why I built Image-Gen - to empower creatives, developers, and innovators like us to bring our visions to life without any limitations.

I'm really excited to share this with you, the HN community and see how you all explore the creative potential of this tool. What kinds of projects are you working on that could benefit from easy-to-use, unrestricted image generation? I'd love to hear your ideas and feedback.

Cheers,

The desktop might be quite diverse, but the diversity on closed, proprietary ecosystems like iOS is controlled by one party. Either, we open up iOS so anyone can distribute apps without Apple being the ultimate authority (like on MacOS), or we enrich a much more mature platform (the web) that we already have to be more capable so we can deliver very similar experiences through the web that we currently build native apps for. Compared to iOS, the web platform is more secure with better privacy controls [1][2], and that feels like a better place to invest our energy.

Nope, just plain matplotlib. The code was huge mess written under insane pressure, but I’m sure I kept it somewhere in my backups.
I recognize all of these words, but have no idea what they all mean together. Pretty wild.
The problem with matplotlib has never been its capability. I consider its rendering backend and resulting image quality to be top-notch, and there are a billion options for you to customize.

That second part is the biggest problem with matplotlib: the imperative API cloned from Matlab is just terrible. The vast majority of matplotlib examples are rife with global states and overriding behavior (ever have to set font size twice to force it?) At first I thought that it's a bit clunky due to my inexperience, but no, the API is just that bad. See https://ryxcommar.com/2020/04/11/why-you-hate-matplotlib/

Now, I mean no hate to matplotlib, which is still a solid library. I appreciate their commitment to backward compatibility by keeping all those baggage, and I don't want them to yank them out, given that seaborn already mitigates most of the API problems, and Altair already brings enlightenment to Python plotting.

Now if only seaborn works with polars natively ...
