11,501,881 | null | comment | rifung | 1,460,690,718 | Why machine learning? The paper says that the need to handle the complexities of modern hardware made it so that the scheduler failed to do its fundamental job.<p>Machine learning sounds like it would add even more complexity but perhaps I just fail to see why machine learning is a good idea here. I don't see how you can predict workloads based off historical data and if you're going to try to predict workloads based off binaries, the overhead would likely outweigh any benefits you would get.<p>I'll admit I am no expert in machine learning but I have a hard time understanding why you would look at this problem and think machine learning is the solution. | null | 11,501,827 | null | [

Do you have calculations using estimates of potential drag, thrust and lift that show that this idea might be viable? What if a simple calculation might show that this idea will never fly (pun intended) without all the testing? I know you won't be able to get a definitive answer, but it would be nice to have something to show that it wouldn't require enormous technological advances to make it work. | null | 11,501,823 | null | [

11,501,867 | null | comment | jor-el | 1,460,690,541 | The quotes in the paper are interesting:
"Nobody actually creates perfect code the first time around, except me. But there’s only one of me.”
Linus Torvalds, 2007<p>And another, which highlights why there might be many more unearthed bugs, and would probably go unnoticed.
"I suspect that making the scheduler use per-CPU
queues together with some inter-CPU load balancing
logic is probably trivial . Patches already exist, and I
don’t feel that people can screw up the few hundred lines
too badly"<p>Looking at the bigger picture in general, this again shows that getting software right is not easy. Now and then you still hear about the bugs popping up in the code which is very core to an OS. One I can recall is a decade old TCP bug which Google fixed last year[1].<p>[1] <a href="http://bitsup.blogspot.sg/2015/09/thanks-google-tcp-team-for-open-source.html" rel="nofollow">http://bitsup.blogspot.sg/2015/09/thanks-google-tcp-team-for...</a> | null | 11,501,493 | null | [

11,501,868 | null | comment | markbnj | 1,460,690,542 | IANAL but it seems plausible they could argue that the 50% was for the original concept and all the work he had done on it up to that point. Or are they really arguing that they threw all that away and started with nothing after he left? I agree with those saying that ideas don't make a company, but startup companies don't suddenly become worth a billion real dollars to GM without ideas. If what GM is buying is largely IP, and that IP is largely based on the departed co-founder's ideas, then his claims seem reasonable to me.<p>Edit: reading further I guess they are arguing that none of his IP is in what GM is buying. So I guess that will be the real point of contention. | null | 11,501,845 | null | [

11,501,891 | null | comment | BinaryIdiot | 1,460,690,895 | This was supposedly in place before the vesting schedule. Vesting is designed to limit, not give, shares to owners.

If the value of the business plan didn't merit equal percentage, that should've been made clear at the onset. At the time, according to Jeremy's complaint it was valued at 50% of the company:<p><pre><code> ... Vogt agreed that Guillory should be a co-founder and 50% equity owner of Cruise.
</code></pre>
If the business plan and some ideas didn't merit 50% ownership, Vogt shouldn't have agreed that Guillery should be a 50% equity owner of Cruise. Simple as that. | null | 11,501,744 | null | [

This makes them incredibly powerful, but it brings them into the bog.<p>This isn't a new problem, other than internet scale. Media companies have long - in having to decide what news to print - been faced with content moderation.<p>Finally, content moderation is inherently political. ModSquad - one of many booming companies in the social media moderation space - serves the US State Department, who makes no bones about the fact that it uses all elements of national power to affect what populations think and what access to information they have (it also runs the Bureau of International Information Programs - the State Department half of the US propaganda programme).<p>Like newspapers, TV shows, cable companies, and radio programs before it - this new media sees itself filtering content for the public - with all of the complexities, power, and grief that entails. | null | 11,500,234 | null | [

11,501,955 | null | comment | nickpsecurity | 1,460,692,025 | It's a bandaid because it covers up instead of fixed the root problems. Getting something through Softbound+CETS will stop almost all the memory errors because it tries to fix the cause. Same with pcwalton's Rust. Then, there's solutions that say leave all the problems there while trying to counter the results of an exploit in a "maybe it will work way" that are often bypassed. World of difference.<p>Note that using bandaids is A Good Thing if you have something broken already. It's just best to avoid what causes the breaks where possible and look for prevention measures. Our industry loves bandaids while systematically ignoring stuff that negates a need for them.
