The best way to develop GMO technologies is to regulate it after it injures millions of people. And that regulation is... declaring anyone who questions the science a terrorist.
Well, they can't be that bad if the FAA will to listen to them. I can recall another transportation company who is able to have legislation passed for their soul benefit.
Yes, this is an extremely trivial problem. Anybody who knows how to program in more than one language is going to find this silly. awk or perl would finish it before jit compilation gets started.
It's a trivial problem to implement, but not trivial to implement faster than others. Awk won't beat solutions that are clever about multiple read queues and parallel processing.
I don't understand, it should be pretty easy. A rolling average with BigDecimal would probably be sufficient but a scientific lib might be better for a rolling average or more than a hundred million numbers.
The difficulty is creating the fastest implementation. If you look at the results of the submissions so far you’ll see a big difference in duration, between 11 seconds and more than 4 minutes.
11 seconds seems pretty impressive for a 12Gb file. Would be interesting to know what programming language could do it faster. For a database comparison you’d probably want to include loading the data into your database for a fair comparrison.
That's strange, you should be able to stream the file right into a tiny perl executable at the same speed as the bottlenecking hardware. The kernel will take care of all the logistics. You're probably trying to do too much explicitly. Just use a pipe. Perl should be done before Jit completes.
Using cat to redirect the file to /dev/null takes 18s on my machine (a low-end NUC). Just running a noop on the file in Perl (ie. feeding it into a `while (<>)` loop but not acting on the contents) takes ~2 minutes.
Why are you using cat at all? Use a pipe. This isn't hard stuff. Don't use <>, feed the file into a scalar or array. it should only take a few seconds to process a billion lines.
It's really not. We're talking about gigahertz CPUs and likely solid state storage that can stream many gb/s.. running through a perl script. There really isn't much that is faster than that.
Thats not at all what this says lol. Its simply some research pointing out that Starlink likely has some unintended radiation at specific frequencies. Nobody is calling for regulations or anything, no need to instantly come to Musk's defense.
Yes but it hurts my feelings very very much and he's very very important to me, so much that, when a bunch of astronomers publish an academic paper with a cool RF investigation, the first thing I say is: "the government is At it Again! Regulatin!" -- no one talks bad about anything my Elon is near without showing what a shill they are.
Ha ha that's pretty funny but the article specifically states that there's no regulation around these types of rf emissions and that maybe there should be
One of my freshman classes was game theory. A prerequisite was trigonometry, and I only had pre-Calc. The best part about it was I was doing averages and which great which number is greater in my senior high school class after taking pre-Calc as a Sophomore. Of course I complained about this to both schools but that wasn't really their problem. I suppose they just didn't care.
