Vertica provides great support to work with Parquet files as external tables: https://www.vertica.com/docs/9.2.x/HTML/Content/Authoring/Ad...

We use this feature to build a staging layer for incoming files before loading to the data warehouse.

I am curious to know what sort of problems might one solve with Machine Learning on an individual level. The one prominent application that I see is in algorithmic trading. Are you using ML for any personal projects? Could you share anything about it? Thank you!

Ask HN: How do I create a detailed plan to pass information to my family

from the ask-hn dept.

Have you ever planned on documenting everything you want to share with your family after your death? COVID-19 makes me wonder that it is high time I create such a plan. Things I want to share:- Bank account details and balances- Insurance policy details- any liabilities- "How to" instructions- my various accounts such as google, amazon, etc- share details of how I have saved a backup of...

Re:2^74207281-1 is Prime on Tuesday January 19, 2016 @02:01PM (#10933013)

I am curious too. I wonder if this has anything to do with the public key encryption relying on prime numbers.

EFF has a bounty for large prime numbers: https://www.eff.org/awards/coop

"The EFF awards are about cooperation," said John Gilmore, EFF co-founder and project leader for the awards. "Prime numbers are important in mathematics and encryption, but the real message is that many other problems can be solved by similar methods."

Finding these prime numbers will be no simple task, given today's computational power. It has taken mathematicians years to uncover and confirm new largest known primes. However, the computer industry produces millions of new computers each year, which sit idle much of the time, running screen savers or waiting for the user to do something. EFF is encouraging people to pool their computing power over the Internet, to work together to share this massive resource. In the process, EFF hopes to inspire experts to apply collaborative computing to large problems, and thereby foster new technologies and opportunities for everyone.
