Re:Ask HN: Traffic-shaping on MonkeyBrains?

I've noticed poor performance for months now. I have been a long time supporter of MonkeyBrains. But recently I've noticed frequent slowness with less than 10MBPS performance. Apparently they do throttle. Look here for the section on reasons for slowness: "Your home computer has been sending or receiving more than 1TB of traffic in a month -- our bots may have throttled your link to 10Mbps (This doesn't apply to business level accounts)"

There are many degrees of freedom in chip design: speed, power, real estate, slew rate, clock rate, etc. The core can have more moderate power density (trading off real estate and speed) if that's what is needed in the application. Probably the figure of merit that is most important is energy/hash, not circuit density or speed.

Their example distribution is buggy. Users 3-6 all have the same 3BTC balance, yet they receive different distributions (users 3&4 get zero, user 5 gets 2BTC, and user 6 get 3BTC.)

Should be a lot more stable now. We were up late coding up an alternate route to access HN. Enjoy!

We put in a fix. Looks like it's working again. But there might be some continued instability. Please let us know if you find a persistent problem. Thanks!

Looks like we overwhelmed the HN server trying to service 1500 queries in the last 3 hours. We are getting it sorted out. Thanks for your patience.

The sentiment analysis is on a comment by comment basis -- see screen shot. So no overall personality assessment. We only analyze and display the top ~10 comments from a given user.

Sorry for the outage. Not sure what's going on right now -- our server can't get the HN site. Here's a screen shot to give you an idea:
