I'm just curious, why is it terrifying? Would a super intelligent human being produced by science be any more terrifying then one that occurred naturally? Couldn't we be creating a being that could push us forward collectively?

My main questions was why always store the same blocks together, and you definitely answered that. Interesting approach. It definitely achieves your goal of spreading out the load. I think this can be achieved without making sure you stor

Thats very interesting. When you post about that could you go into why you choose that over say large files (say 32 gb or so) that contain each of the collection of blocks? XFS or Ext4 can preallocate large chunks of the files beforehand,

I believe a team of one or two talented individuals can build something that scales well and that will save a HUGE amount of money once you get into any significant portion of a petabyte with your data. One or two months of S3's list

First thanks so much for doing this, I really appreciate it. I only did a quick read of your post apologies if it addresses these comments/questions. I recently built a system for image storage and made some similar but different tra

A reasonable compromise is to use a threadpool (which is a big part of what comes with wangle) with a fixed number of threads and you queue the tasks to be run by the threads. It works quite well in practice, and you can use coroutines (I&

The wangle native way of doing this is just to use an IOThreadPoolExecutor: https://github.com/facebook/wangle/blob/master/wangle/concur... Just make a block of threads to run your db tasks, and you

I have used this library pretty heavily in some of my recent work and I love how easy it makes building performant async network servers in C++. Minor nitpick: It would be nice though, if they built shared libraries by default though, las

Seems very interesting, I really think these approaches will work rather well on a variety of games. Very exciting times. Btw, there is another already Open Source Neural Network Chess engine that might be worth exploring for similar idea

Thanks for this, I personally have a license for MKL due to a licensed Intel C++ compiler and it really does a good job. I feel that Intel should do more to get MKL out in the open and more in use by the Open Source community. For instanc

This is very interesting. I was very surprised that Tensorflow did not use a central parameter server, and this looks like a good foundational parameter server to build something like DistBelief on top of from Microsoft. I wonder if they

I really think this is very interesting in that this would be a truly broad spectrum anti-viral agent. Maybe this is the start of a class of compounds like antibiotics, but for treating viral infections. Could be amazingly tranformative o

The error in backprop is a vector quantity, not a single scalar for each time step. In RL the goal is to optimize the overall sum of the reward over all time steps. Backprop attempts to minimize the magnitude of the error for a given loss

There are prebuilt slab allocators that do this well. I used the arena allocator in facebook's libfolly recently as the base for a huge page allocator, and the code turned out quite nice. I think the allocator is a much better abstra
