The implications of this are huge, it should drastically reduce processing time for neural nets. I wonder if given this if networks could be updated asynchronously/continuously.

How is email the best? This is a business, email happens to be free, but that doesn't mean people will read it, etc. It could well be that it's more profitable to pay Facebook than to use email, similarly to how buying the most ex

Oh man, this reminds me of troubleshooting a host behind a router that didn't support window scaling. It took a week or two to figure out why we couldn't transfer data but could connect, ssh, ping, etc.

Question, how much data do you store in your Mongo cluster? How many QPS does it perform? What's your read/write balance?

BDB... seriously? At this point why not just: apt-get install postgres psql < "CREATE TABLE mongodb (key varchar[1024] NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,value jsonb);" then you get the best of both worlds.

Am I missing something? Is lesspipe run as root? What could you execute via lesspipe that you couldn't from the command line?

It's an odd failing of incredibly smart people that their needs are the same as everyone else's. It seems to be very common (maybe dumb people make the same mistake as well, but you just don't notice it as much)

A witchhunt would be inappropriate, however mob justice meated out by people not privy to the conversation is well within reason.

Actually they do, which is why if you run the drive sans NCQ you get lower sustained throughput, and get overloaded faster. Having a queue of messages allows optimization in ordering the messages.

by fleitz 12y ago
It's not even close to true in any real sense. Queues create async operations which are often processed faster than sync operations because queues force an async design. You should compare Little's Law to a hard drive with and wit

That, the branch predictors, and caching behaviors, n-way, alignment, etc. It probably explains why different runs vary so widely, I always thought it was other things going on in the OS, never really thought about the caches, etc.

Cacheline boundary? Probably, because caches line sizes are an implementation detail, not part of the architectural specification.

The confession is admissible as evidence, it doesn't result in an automatic conviction. Now that the defence knows about the stingray they will paint the rest of the case as fruit from the poison tree. They just need a reason to call t

“We’re trading less using algorithmic trading now than we did some years ago and are doing much more trading in large block sizes to avoid pattern-reading.” Interesting... given that large blocks are what HFTs feed on. How exactly is a part

Why not? Get the repressed individuals out of the office and it's totally fine, some people are comfortable in their own skin, some people aren't. My partner would like to wear lower cut tops than she's allowed to at work, so

Not only are you now a TA pro, but you can also trade real estate, and run the Federal Reserve. This is why the counter-cyclical guys only make money when the bubble bursts. (Berkshire always underperforms in the boom, but makes it up in sp

Yeah, I was once considering building an OTCBB trader that would trade all the pennystock promo bullshit and see which (if any) lists actually worked and just trade the spam. The amount of degenerate gamblers in that industry is insane. Alm

It's the environment, code completion leads to more code. Big frameworks lead to big apps. Also, if you string together exactly what is needed in a few hours with bash, pipes, and unix command line tools you'll be called a hack, c

The reason why cars gain weight so much is that they now grow up with the buyer. eg. Instead of moving from the civic, to the accord, you now stick with the civic through your lifetime, or at least that the theory according to new trends in

No you're certainly not alone, however the vast majority of prison systems have very high recidivism rates. You have to ask yourself whether you want prisons to punish people or to get them to not commit crimes in the future, if your g

The NSA spying program is authorized by executive order not statute. It's a signature away from ending. And Obama can forward any issues to the DoJ. If he wanted to end the NSA spying program he could simply have Holder charge those in
