I have to imagine the existence of these guys in the space means whatever 'work on being immune' is probably not functioning very well :P. These folks showing up in your trading arena means you've left money on the table and

These guys have specialized in building super low latency, line of sight microwave networks for trading, across multiple continents (chicago -> nyc, frankfurt -> london, etc): https://sniperinmahwah.wordpress.com/2014&

As a user of sentry technically, you're also aware of how difficult it is to keep user information out of those errors and stacktraces. Just paths are enough to start leaking information about you and your system that just shouldn&#x2

You're technically correct here due to some sloppy words, but this isn't the point that everyone here is trying to make. We know our terminals can connect to the internet, we don't want them to do that without being instruct

I think you're giving them too much credit by saying they're attempting to create their own experience. I don't believe that's the motivation at all. I don't see any reason to believe Verizon wants to improve the

Hey Jerry! I'll respond here so we don't have split threads :). I'm also quite familiar with at least the older versions of the node internals (I too maintained a popular db binding for a number of years) and I'm very c

I responded to the OP, but I'll add here too for the conversation. Where are these projects that are implementing network protocols, where the nodejs versions are faster than the native ones? As I noted in my other comment, in -any- o

On the surface I'm not sure this explanation passes the smell test. Almost irrespective of how you get the data from your network card into v8 / nodejs, you're going to be crossing c++/v8 boundaries. It's possible

In my experience, the kinds of use cases for this level of optimization tend to be in fields where computers are used as actual computing devices. So think physics, biology, etc. I'd guess most jobs in the HPC space would allow you t

You mean the language used by the website that gets paid for you to click on it?

Your point about academia studying different systems than industry rings quite true. Lots of the academic recommender systems are built on datasets and techniques that simply don't scale to real world data/applications. That said

Also, don't forget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimda ... all of these were a horror show to deal with on networks of the era..

This comment seems unnecessarily aggressive given the code is pretty straightforward to navigate. If you were to read the source code a little further you'd jump into this code, called from OPs referenced function: https://

It doesn't just make your computer slow, which is bad enough, it's actively stealing your electricity and converting it into their money. How can that possibly be justified?

You're misunderstanding what people are saying. You've watched a highly compressed video from a camera sensor that is known to have relatively poor dynamic range (ie: it doesn't see well in the dark when lights are around).

I have to imagine the answer lies in the interpretation of the rules you quoted in your post: My app is in alignment with it... I've made sure since day one that a "reasonably suspicious" notification is present when the app

I'm not sure I can agree that it's clear someone spent a lot of time building something they felt was reasonable. The entire technical underpinnings of this solution rely on essentially neural image embeddings, which are very well

They'll definitely have information that traditional CPU designers won't. Check out this talk from Brendan Gregg (he's probably lurking), where he specifically calls this out: https://www.brendangregg.com/blo

This isn't a commentary on patent law or I.P. which I find mostly absurd, but did the 1-click patent actually have any impact on reality? I remember the internet lighting up with rage about how stupid and obvious it was. I don't

Given the creators, I'd guess the format is also used in certain machine learning circles as well (or was meant to be at least :)).

Where else do you imagine the answer would come from?

It's not a hypothesis though, there's nothing that we can test in it. As presented, it's an assertion that has zero evidence to support it. That's the part I was hoping to get some actual clarification and precision on

Right, that was the assumption I was alluding to at the end of my comment. That said, it still doesn't fully resolve the question and unfortunately leaves the statement in handwaving territory still. 'boring' isn't rea

Would you mind elaborating a bit more on what you mean? It's very fashionable to be concerned about model bias at the moment, but it's not clear to me what the issue you're describing would be? Something like: trees would e

I never enjoy seeing this line of argumentation pop up when we (as the computing industry) discuss practicalities of data structures and algorithm choices. I've got a bit over twice your time in the industry and one of the things that

XMPP never got its story together for mobile clients. Sure there are some configurations of XEPs that will eventually allow you a reasonable configuration that supports multi device, history, media, etc, but for whatever reason, gluing tho

It's more than just making a point though. It's having a principled belief in something and standing by it. That's fine if you don't feel that way, but there are lots of us that feel very negatively towards facebook an

Will this dataset be able to produce a model that's actually better than GPT-3? One of the things mentioned in the paper is that the dataset had some buggy filtering applied to it ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.14165

I've been working actively on making it work (see ath11k mailing list). We're pretty close now as the connection is stable, but the changes aren't going to make it into 5.10 I'd guess ;). There was a new test branch re

I think you've overlooked OPs point a bit. You don't need to understand the C/libc internals to be able to operate MySQL (you do need to know it's quirks though). With a JVM application, you're going to need to un
