PostgreSQL uses ARC (actually 2Q which is very similar), and they worked around the patent.

Backblaze use Reed Solomon / Erasure Coding for their data, plus checksumming with healing, which means that it should be very safe. Their main disadvantage is that they only have one datacenter, unless they have gotten a second one re

For a bank with many different ways to login, and a web application, mobile application and more, this isn't a simple task. There are many things that can go wrong. A well designed chatbot can troubleshoot the issue for a user step by

Have you ever called support over phone and waited a long time for a simple question? Annoying, yes? A chatbot can often answer that simple question immediately. So yes, people do like chatbots as long they at least manage to get most of th

Actually no ;-) We do use Amazon Polly though, and Google's Speech to Text. Works very well with our chatbot, but none of our clients want stt and tts. Text is what they all want. Maybe later when both solutions become more reliable fo

Because it is a lot easier to tune and debug your model in Torch without diving into C/C++. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13428098 We may switch to pyTorch though, but Lua works rather well for now.

Yes, all the data we use to train our model on, is handcrafted by our AI trainers. What they do is figure out all the different questions that are most common to ask for each intent we want to predict. We have built a tool that helps them c

Making a chatbot is really hard, because you need a lot of data and it needs to be of good quality. You cannot use a random chat message log and train your model, it will usually have way too much noise. Instead I highly recommend that you

Better stability is really important! Recently there was an update for the nvidia drivers for 16.04 LTS, this broke our GPU servers on Amazon and ruined desktop login for my grandfather. All because the updated Nvidia driver no longer suppo

You're reading the wrong numbers. Try benchmarking with PostgreSQL's pg_test_fsync or with fio with the following options: --direct=1 --sync=1 --rw=write --bs=4k Good random-write performance with 4k/8k blocks at QD1 is what

I wonder what the performance of these are with PostgreSQL's pg_test_fsync, which is one of the proper tools to benchmark a SSD. I get 4000 iops with my Intel 320 SSD and 9000 iops with Intel S3700. For comparison, Intel 600p maxes aro

This is what we can do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade It may not be cost effective today, but it may be later. There are bigger threats out there than the current climate change. Antibiotics losing effect

Nice to hear! I also use a MVC framework (Grails) with plain old Javascript for DOM manipulations. I have no need for complex bloated frameworks like Angular and React. I do more complex UI with canvas too(where zooming and panning is requi

How much faster is a cpu from 2012 and a cpu from today when you compare them by single thread performance @ 3 ghz.

Yep, it is really not that hard, what do you find challenging?

Actually for me, React fitted me well as a jacket! Until a friend asked me why there was and advantage to spend an extra minute taking on and off that jacket instead of using a simpler jacket(vanillajs) that fitted just as well but that I c

Could you not scale this horizontally? We do all template rendering server side, though it is JSP and not JSF.

The 1GB ram per TB is wrong. More memory definitely helps, especially if you add an L2ARC cache which can use a lot of memory just for mapping. But in most cases you are probably fine with just 1-2GB of ram. I would never use deduplication

Do anyone know about a good user friendly OpenVPN client for Windows? The official one requires a lot of fiddling with administrator permissions to work, which most non tech people have no chance to do successfully.

Thank you for feedbank. 1. We are currently working on supporting queries with amounts, the first kind will be a "loan-calculator" that tell you how much you can loan for a new house or a new car. We did try syntaxnet for this ear

While spell-checking is slow, it is not necessarily as slow as 200ms per word. But it is necessary to have one or else people will struggle with your chatbot. We have created a chatbot that handles mispellings and dialects just fine for the

This is also true for date types. Be careful when you use date trunc functions.

You are absolutely right that a consumer SSD can handle it just fine, just like you can surf the web fine with 2GB ram and a single core CPU. But some people pay more bucks because they want better overall performance, and it sucks to pay f
