Interesting. What's the bottleneck for HDFS, is it that the namenode has high latency under load?

What's the relevance of NVMe? Is that I/O latency still relevant in the presence of networking and scheduling overheads?

In Go I can't `extern C` and calling C functions is expensive. I will probably be using Rust for some projects in the future, but right now I'm reliant on C++ for stuff like Eigen (numerical linear algebra) and OpenMP (shared memo

"C++ In the spirit of C" seems to be the sweet spot for me; think of a C++ programmer retreating to C but still keeping their fancy new C++ compiler.

Yeah, so it must be intended for some kind of non-bank financial institutions that can't directly open Fed reserve accounts?

Yeah, feels like the editors dropped the ball on that. Hopefully they'll fix it before the final version. Anyway, here's a link: https://sci-hub.tw/10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2018.09.004

It's at least a neat coincidence, and maybe something more.

Yes, there are definitely different weights for threads based on multiple factors such as flags, certain domains/topics, and manual intervention by the mods.

Looks like they're solving a sales and distribution problem, not one of technical innovation.

Sure, but then you're still left with the unsolved problem of getting lidar quality depth maps out of video in all lighting and weather conditions.

The article claims that Jeff Henry designed it entirely through trial-and-error methods without the involvement of any engineers. That sounds preposterous to me too, but it seems to be true.

Doesn't sound like they had any engineers. The article mentions only one engineering consultation just before it opened which warned that "a raft with three passengers weighing between 400 and 550 pounds could go airborne" an

I'm not claiming there's trickery involved. It's just a positive-sum trade between two agents. Normally I would write down an example to clarify what I'm saying but not right now, sorry. I agree that the phrase "asy

No, insurance works because of the asymmetry of the payoffs. It's a positive sum interaction because the insurer thinks they've priced the policy with enough margin to make a profit, but you think it's a great deal because it

This is specifically talking about submodular function maximization problems. A submodular set function is a function f(S) that takes a set S and returns a "score". The objective is to find the set S with the highest score. The &q
