Introducing QALM, Uber’s QoS Load Management Framework

To proactively manage our traffic loads based on the criticality of requests, we built QoS Aware Load Management (QALM), a dynamic load shedding framework for incoming requests based on criticality. When the service degrades due to traffic overload, resource exhaustion, or dependency failure, QALM prioritizes server resources for more critical requests and sheds less critical ones. Our goal with QALM is to reduce the frequency and severity of any outages or incidents, leading to more reliable user experiences across our business.

Quantum Computers Strive to Break Out of the Lab

Schrödinger’s famous thought experiment has come to life in a new form because quantum researchers are at the cusp of a long-sought accomplishment: creating a quantum computer that can do something notraditional computer can match. They’ve spent years battling naysayers who insisted that a quantum computer was an unachievable sci-fi fantasy, and nowthese researchers are finally beginning to indulge in some well-deserved self-congratulation.

The Workplace Is Killing People and Nobody Cares

It’s true. He takes three points and puts them together. The first point, which is consistent with data reported by the World Economic Forum and other sources, is that an enormous percentage of the health care cost burden in the developed world, and in particular in the U.S., comes from chronic disease — things like diabetes and cardiovascular and circulatory disease.

Five new ancient genomes tell us about Neanderthal tribes

The researchers, led by Mateja Hajdinjak at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, extracted tiny amounts of bone or tooth powder—sometimes as little as 9mg—and used a chemical process to remove modern genetic contamination. They also checked for the telltale signs of degradation found in ancient DNA.

New lithium-air battery survives hundreds of cycles

Batteries supply electrons by undergoing reversible chemical reactions. That has meant that all the reactants have to be inside the battery, which adds to its weight and volume. Lithium-air batteries could potentially change that situation.

Deploy TensorFlow models

Don’t follow the TensorFlow docs since they explain how to setup a docker image and compile TF serving that takes forever. We can do much better. Some guy made a docker image with everything already compile on it, so we are going to use that one.
