noajshu··on Show HN: TensorDock Core GPU Cloud – GPU servers from $0.29/hr
Is there any information available about the beehives? I saw the link to purchase tensordock honey at the bottom of your homepage.
noajshu··on Google ML Compiler Inlining Achieves 3-7% Reduction in Size
I wonder how the performance improvements compare to PGO.
noajshu··on Show HN: I made an iOS app recording RGBD videos and a web app playing them
This is so cool! I’ve been playing around for a while now with different objects and types of lighting. Now I’m getting this error when I try to post: {"timestamp":"2022-02-23T05:57:19.930+00:00","status":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","path":"/record"}
noajshu··on Show HN: A labelling tool to easily extract and label Wikipedia data
This is really cool and reminds me of the Microsoft tool PICL (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/video/machine-teach...) I would love to see a video demo of the product.
noajshu··on Show HN: Lavastone – C++ Containers Transparently Backed by Disk
Thanks! One of the creators here. Our main idea with Lavastone is that you just write “plain” c++ code that doesn’t call any special query interface. It’s transparently making your code run by performing some interactions with the database on your behalf. In this sense the query interface looks just like the standard language features of C++.

As you point out, there are definitely trade offs with choosing Lavastone instead of a SQL database. For instance you can’t easily share concurrent read/write access to the same Lavastone data with multiple processes. However, you can copy a fixed Lavastone data store (ie the underlying LevelDB store) and distribute it to multiple server nodes. That’s how we used it anyways!

noajshu··on PaSh: Light-Touch Data-Parallel Shell Processing
The GitHub URL provided in the paper gives a 404: github.com/andromeda/pash Has anyone had luck finding an implementation?
noajshu··on AI for generative design: Plain text to 3D Designs
Is anyone else getting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plotly'?
noajshu··on Universal Logic Gates (2015)
The monotone, linear, etc. functions are called clones and the clones form a lattice called Post's Lattice

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post%27s_lattice

Given several logic gates, if their most recent common ancestor in the lattice is the clone of all boolean functions, then that set is universal. This provides a convenient prescription for deciding universality for a new k-input gate.

My favorite: "yarn" http://three-body.ipb.ac.rs/sol.php?id=12

I know about this project in my neighborhood: https://oaklandnorth.net/2013/11/27/mesh-network-offers-pote...

noajshu··on Standard Notes – A notes app with a focus on longevity, portability, and privacy
I like this idea. It's remarkable how bad the Apple Notes apps are. I'm trying to get started with Standard Notes but running into trouble. Both Standard File servers are down: https://n3.standardnotes.org https://n1.standardnotes.co.uk
noajshu··on Superintelligence: The Idea That Eats Smart People
"We’ve learned that at least one American plutocrat (almost certainly Elon Musk, who believes the odds are a billion to one against us living in "base reality") has hired a pair of coders to try to hack the simulation."

-->source?

noajshu··on Notes on Migrating from Soylent to Baby Food
Yes, I've made this adjustment

Github down too :'( went down 17 days ago I hope it doesn't go the way of sourceforge

I can no longer edit the title -- is this because the post is flagged?

Do you mean that the CDN takes a few minutes to "kick in" and start serving that page?
noajshu··on [dead]
I noticed that for 1-3 minutes after the outage began (I was between pageloads and noticed the outage immediately) the 503 page did not load after waiting >30s. Afterwards the 503 page loads in < 1s. I wonder what failover configuration Github uses, such that this delay would occur.
noajshu··on Sky: A 60fps GPU-Powered Text Editor
ha, I did try it with ~1.2e6 lines of unminified JS and it kept its cool, very smooth scrolling and multiline editing.
noajshu··on DeepGram (YC W16) Is Building a Google for Audio
I would love to see a computer-generated simpsons episode. I bet you could do a basic version using DeepDream applied to the audio and video of a different video / tv show. I imagine the voices and images would morph to sound more simpson-like.
noajshu··on DeepGram (YC W16) Is Building a Google for Audio
Awesome, I'll take a look!
noajshu··on DeepGram (YC W16) Is Building a Google for Audio
This is awesome
noajshu··on DeepGram (YC W16) Is Building a Google for Audio
The idea is similar but the accuracy is much better.
noajshu··on DeepGram (YC W16) Is Building a Google for Audio
It's one of our favorites :) I don't think it would be so bad to record our lives. We would be more efficient scientists, journalists--explorers of information. We could focus on the here and now instead of taking notes.
noajshu··on DeepGram (YC W16) Is Building a Google for Audio
We're not familiar with the behind-the-scenes details of those cases, but we're not competing with Nuance in the transcription game. We are doing really killer audio search and view competition through that lens.
noajshu··on DeepGram (YC W16) Is Building a Google for Audio
I'm Noah, one of the founders. I also think lifelogging will be common in the future because it's becoming easier to record everything and the benefits of having that dataset are also increasing (that's where we come in) You're correct that lying could become obsolete. It could be sort of like the changes brought on by the Information Age, where now it's pointless to argue over truths that are the public domain (since we can just look up the fact whenever we need). It would extend that to private life.
noajshu··on Show HN: Import Docker in Python and Run Anything
Yes. Not necessarily log output, but stderr and/or stdout.
noajshu··on Show HN: Import Docker in Python and Run Anything
Your Python app doesn't have to run in a container at all. If you chose to run it in a container, and you wanted to use sidomo, you would have two options:

1 The container would need to be privileged so that it could run a docker daemon and containers (sidomo processes) within itself.

2 (the "right" way) Use the host's docker daemon from within the first container by binding the docker.sock to the child container. The first container can start and stop others that run next to it, instead of inside it. This way there's no recursion, and no containers need root privileges.

noajshu··on Show HN: Import Docker in Python and Run Anything
That is lovely--you're referring to 'σύντομα'?
noajshu··on Show HN: Import Docker in Python and Run Anything
I feel you on the cleanup side--there was another interesting docker app on HN today that you may want to look at if you're running a large DB in your container: https://github.com/muthu-r/horcrux.

Our Container class is built so that if you use the `with` statement, container termination is handled automatically even if there's a program fault.
