- cgioI would see a potentially more liberal use of atomic, that if the repo state reflects the totality of what I need to get to new version AND return to current one, then I have all I need from a reproducibility perspective. Human actions could be allowed in this, if fully documented. I am not a purist, obviously.
- I hear you, and mostly share the point of view, but that’s what people were saying about the instagram valuation too.
- The Turkish password word may be the same used for signature? I suspect so, because in Greek we have the Greek word for signature but also a Turkish loan word τζίφρα (djifra).
- Isn’t a JavaScript engine interactive ?
- I appreciate when a view opens up a different perspective and yours does. Nevertheless, if we lift the surface layer and have a look at the dark economy, do you think we’re find a less nepotistic economy, or one with less ruthless hierarchical structures in which luck is less of a factor?
- Just to make it clear, I never said the next place will be Europe. Could be anywhere. Systems evolve creatively, I would not dare a prediction.
- It is a rationale, but ironically a very socialist one, which I believe would be anathema to the people actually making the decisions and the people who voted for them too.
- You allude to it yourself in your example. People, from all over the world, were doing research in the US, because that’s the only place they could really do it. Now that this option is disappearing, the system will have to adjust and find another place. When that happens, US loses. Until it does, we all do.
- You could argue that, with Windows there is a legitimate place to direct your rage at, but the action of directing your rage does not actually have any effect on improving your experience. With Win and Mac, no one cares, because they already have their customers locked in and tight, they will accept any experience degradation. With Linux, you are not a customer so no customer complaints, but still arguably much better support.
- good point, sequencing is very minimal, therefore some parallelism is feasible that way, but the pipeline is not that deep, at least ideally. Of course if people are chasing nano-seconds, it may make sense.
- The title is obviously the wrong way around, exchanges turn distributed logs into order books. The distributed part is a resilience decision but not essential to the design (technically writing to a disk would give persistence with less ability to recover, or with some potential gaps in the case of failure (remember there is a sequence published on the other end too, the market data feed)). As noted in the article, the sequencer is a single-threaded, not parallelisable process. Distribution is just a configuration of that single threaded path. Parallelisation is feasible to some extent by sharding across order books themselves (dependencies between books may complicate this).
- These inefficiencies are akin to having some “wrong” weights in a huge model. Corporations also average over their individual contributions, positive or negative. And negative feedback loops may be individually detrimental but collectively optimising.
- It might involve US sending out trillions worth of stuff. The question is what stuff would that be, could be e.g. bombs.
- The point is for it to be hard.
- He was also working for Valve for a while.
- A positive outcome of LLMs. Regardless if the specific article is AI generated or not, we become increasingly intolerant of shallowness. While in the past we would engage with the token effort of the source, we now draw conclusions and avoid the engagement much faster. I am expecting the quality of real articles to improve to avoid the more sensitive reader filters.
- Autistic here, and passionate about people’s experience.
- I assume that’s why the original argument is that it’s not been a net positive. I.e. the assumption is that lots of work can be good and necessary, while even more that is evil and excessive can end up with a net negative.
- I think you partially answer to yourself though. Is the value in the depreciating chips, or in the huge datacenters, with cooling, energy supply, at such scale etc. ?
- Single point of failure?
