Is there any information available about the beehives? I saw the link to purchase tensordock honey at the bottom of your homepage.
I wonder how the performance improvements compare to PGO.
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"}
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.
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!

The GitHub URL provided in the paper gives a 404: github.com/andromeda/pash Has anyone had luck finding an implementation?

Is anyone else getting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plotly'?

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.

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

"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."

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?
Re:GitHub down 2016.10.34 6:06 GMT on Tuesday October 04, 2016 @02:18AM (#12633618)
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.

ha, I did try it with ~1.2e6 lines of unminified JS and it kept its cool, very smooth scrolling and multiline editing.

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.

Awesome, I'll take a look!
