Colocation of mainframe and commodity compute is huge if they can pull it off.

This will only work out if IBM beefs up it's data centers to clone AWS (Lambda, Batch, S3, RDS, SQS, Fargate), gobbles Netifly, then puts mainframe DB2 in the cloud next to commodity servers. Also needs to open the ZOS toolchain and ge

Nuts. Literally. Breed oaks with acorns so dense they are like rocks.

This. We need USDA money going to tree genetics for carbon sequestration. Pat Schnabble at ISU would be amazing at this. He has already isolated genes to thicken cell walls. He also has a novel technique of using time-lapse video to isolate

Good way to weed out bad employeers who treat programmers like janitors with no hope of career advancement.

As a digital forensics practitioner this is amazing. Court orders can be served on users instead of having to rely on Apple. Usually just having information preserved is enough for both sides to come to a fair settlement.

They packed SF like a clown car, of course all commute times went up. Not sure how it is Uber's fault.

TIL Tim Wagner did a thesis on IDEs before the serverless thing. The man has a passion for developer user experience.

Boring Company should build one for shipping containers. Compete with the border patrol traffic jam on the highway.

On demand cloud compute and storage killed the Hadoop beast. Python/C++ tooling is slowly gaining marketshare back to the HPC glory days where MPI was king. Once IBM mainframe, the king of CAp, is put in a major AWS/MS/GCP da

Who, what, when, why, where? Bloomberg needs to tie it to specific SKUs of servers, get shipping records, see where they were sold after three years of use which is when they usually go out of warranty so researchers can get their hands on

Construction is still king for money laundering. $1 bulldozer rental here, $500 toilet seat there, just like a bank for deposits and withdrawals.

He could offer to sell his personal shares for $420 a pop. SEC would have no case, Elon gets more $$ to put into Boring. Win win.

Micron's processor in memory doesn't have near the same bandwidth as a processor in memory array geared to doing parallel prefix.

Then an ASIC for sparse matrix multiply. Valiant's reduction of CFG parsing. Massive speedup to parsing workflows, and boon to security by getting rid of hand rolled parsers.

Massive parallel prefix and reduction operations in RAM. Start with just the MPI standard reduction ops. 1000x faster than Von Neuman bottleneck.

Mentioned below. You can increase from 4 orientations to K and use quad trees to drill down distance of steps taken.

by crb002 8y ago
If you need even more precision either tiled hexagon automata or subdivide into K instead of four compass orientations. There is also probably some Pressburger arithmetic formulation treating it as vectors in 2D you could whack with an SMT

Second optimization I would apply would be quadtrees. Start with huge squares subdivide them after solving at that level down to your specified tollerence.

Walk straight ahead could be worst case if you are near the edge and oriented to walk all the way across the width of the forest.

I'd discretize it into squares and get all four orientations. You are then looking for a set of directions (forward ,turn left, turn right) where forwards are minimized that works on every square in all four orientations. We have gramm

Attorneys drafting derivative contracts need boundary conditions so this doesn't happen. The boundary conditions would also signal to those who rely on them to get protection if a boundary is hit. Zero and infinity are simply ignored.

They are going to use the results to set up a hedge fund. Not quite insider trading, but shady.

Benchmarking clause is unenforcible. It's like a clause by an auto manufacturer you can't track gas milage. What you are supposed to just ignore how much gas you put in the tank? No different when your servers slow down and runs u

If you have a large enough book it works. The big boys pay fees and the little guys get aggregated. All depends on what a "market order" is.
