I don't really have much experience with the ML/Torch side of things, so Banana was simpler to get started with. I'd like to switch to something cheaper, but I couldn't get Paperspace set up.

Also, Inferrd doesn't really look cheaper, a 16GB GPU is $600/mo, which is about the same as Banana, except Banana doesn't bill for the time the model isn't working.

For my needs, with the few images I need to generate, the difference is between paying $50/mo (admittedly, with worse UX for my customers) and paying $600/mo for a card that's mostly sitting idle.

A caveat there is, proactive dive and save is reserved for high performers who are seen as a flight risk Reactive dive and save is for anybody who can show a competing offer.
>> an open source project is not a job. In an actual job, you cannot just walk away whenever you feel like it, because someone is paying you to do the work, and you have some kind of actual agreement with whoever is paying you that you can't just break if you feel like it.

What country are you in? People quit paying jobs all the time. Most employment in the U.S. is "at will" which is usually used to mean "we can fire you at any time for any reason" but the flip side is "I can walk away at any time" and people do. In some cases enough people quit a company that it can't continue and closes down.

Brave new world.

At some point freedom just becomes hedonism. Eventually hedonism starts to enforce hedonistic mantras on the whole society, it becomes yet another flavor of fascism.

They also turned out to be a bit less of a 'joke' than a lot of people assumed, I more or less stopped following their career after some homophobic slurs they made to other artists a few years back.
Get good at Rust, the answer will come.
A lot of Bobby Fischer's quotes about Jews are almost kind of funny in a horrifying/ironic way when you realize he was a Jew himself spouting stuff that would fit perfectly at a skinhead rally.
What specific technologies are you suggesting? It is possible to manufacture carbon-neutral synthetic liquid hydrocarbon fuels using renewable sources of heat and electricity. The costs are higher than fossil fuels today but that is a fixable problem.
Yes, by adding inpainting and/or face swap model after the image generation model.
I'm just speculating here, but the grill is the source of the additional noise, rather than something that attenuates noise already present in the airflow. Therefore, to get two holes to emit sound out of phase, the mechanism by which they generate sound must be synchronized somehow.

One way that such synchronization can occur is by the blades passing the holes, and I suppose that the high noise of the 'turbine' grill is caused or exacerbated by the blades alternately aligning with the holes and the ribs. I recently learned that tire treads are made with a pseudo-randomized block size, as with a same size all around the sounds each makes as it contacts the road would be periodic, producing a siren-like sound with a definite pitch.

The swirl pattern presumably mitigates this effect by having little variation in the overall blade/rib alignment through one revolution. There are also tire treads like this.

The difficulties of using interference in reducing fan noise are that it becomes less effective the whiter the noise is, and that destructive interference somewhere usually creates constructive interference elsewhere else.
Just to think that this all started with the GeForce 1, 2, 3, 4, and then oh shit, now we’re up to 5900? It’s probably Radeon’s fault because no one knew how it iterated all the way to a Radeon 9800 all of a sudden.

Numbers don’t lie people, stop fucking with it. We’re up to the GeForce 20 basically. Marketing is a helluva a drug.
While a lot of people are looking at the claims in the article with skepticism, the claims are actually pretty run of the mill. US police does do these kind of things and worse fairly routinely, anybody who knows cops will find that they joke about it fairly often and anybody who knows people who have had run-ins with the cop will attest that this is pretty plausible.

A cop friend I had told me with a straight face that there are no innocent men in jails. His reasoning was that there are lots of things that you are guilty of but never charged with like think of all the times you got away with speeding. So even if a particular man is innocent of the crime he is jail for, it doesn't matter because there are things that he should be in jail for but isn't. Ergo, no innocent people in jails.
FOSS developers are also FOSS users of other software. So they can be motivated to manage their projects in a way how would like the software they use to be managed. I.e. leading by example.
Pretty much. It's just unfeasible to defend against intentional tampering over long periods of time with a one-time energy input.
It will also have a view and controllers and models. It is it's own application, after all.
$/transistor could be the biggest variable here. My understanding is that we haven't been seeing this lower even with node shrinks. Analysts have speculated that this is why Xbox released a trimmed down console (series s)- because a cheaper "slim" wasn't realistic. Similarly Sony raised prices because inflation is outpacing their ability to reduce costs.
Please stop making the world a worse place. Every online purchase I make comes from a datacenter IP with resistFingerprinting = true. I've got a good ISP that probably isn't selling surveillance about me, but websites themselves certainly abuse IP addresses (as you're doing here), and I see no reason to browse like some naive jamoke - datacenter IPs are easy to rotate, and fine-grained wireguard is already integrated into my setup.

When web sites increase the amount of hassling (and make no mistake about it, garbage like this, CAPTCHAs, nonconsensual "SMS 2FA" etc are all just hassles to customers), I file support tickets about their broken website. If a website continues down the path of snake oil to the point of becoming unusable, I generally end up no longer being a customer.

This is a great reply and something I've noticed IME as well. I'm sure there is an economic term for it, but it's like perverse incentives coupled with unconsciousness.

Echoing the other replies that we want to read more of your thoughts (book, articles, blog). Is your site in your profile the best way to follow you?

That's a good company name. The broader the cancellations, the broader the emerging parallel economy. Every case of a corporation refusing a customer is an opportunity for another to accept. In a relatively free market you don't extinguish a sector by dividing it; that just generates targetted support.

Media is dividing along partisan lines and apparently payment processing is too. What else? How broad will the parallelism will become?

Companies like PayPal may incubate potential competitors in this way. PayPal is somewhat handicapping itself by accepting a smaller market, as if they had decided to cancel a particular race if that were legal.
I’m a C++ guy from back in the 90’s CFront days.

I love Rust; I’d do any new project in Rust instead of C++.

It’s worth the effort to learn.
Misread, thanks for the correction; it was Anaheim, not Alameda. Early morning brain fart, but the point still stands.
His paranoia started before this.

Edit: I want to be clear here, the police can absolutely be abusive to paranoid people, and people struggling with mental illness might seem to be acting suspiciously or weirdly by the police who have no training in dealing with mental health. It's very possible Bobby was acting oddly though non criminaly and the police totally mishandled it, he certainly shouldn't have been arrested. But his exact claims of what happened need to be viewed with the knowledge he frequently made false accusations throughout his life.
I find it much easier to reason about pure storage-based pricing compared to storage and egress-based pricing. I can much easier limit how much people can store in my application than add something much harder to understand like transfer quotas. So independent of how R2 compares purely on price I think having a big entry with a much simpler pricing scheme is a win already.
Great points. I’ll make the changes.
You can go live like that now in the metaverse and you don't have to disrupt how the rest of us live.
I agree it seems that there is a very polarized effect happening, according to the comments some people get constant spam in their inbox and some people have never gotten anything.

It would be interesting to know the cause. I have actually signed up to loads of dodgy websites over the years, my email has been "pwned" according to haveibeenpwned, etc. So there's nothing particular that I've been doing to shield myself from spam, but Google still catches it all perfectly.

But then again, I completely believe all the other people saying they _have_ had spam come through, so it remains a mystery as to why. Is it some specialized spam list of a certain group that know how to bypass the spam filter? Is it Google A/B testing their spam filter? Who knows.
A book I always recommend to folks looking to learn mathematics with lots of beauty and from first principles is Serge Lang's Basic Mathematics.

The book starts from axiomatic arithmetic and works all the way up to what you would need as a mathematics major with a focus on pure mathematics. He also manages to touch some beautiful areas like geometry, abstract algebra, symmetry, linear algebra, set theory and more.

There are only a handful of exercises at the end of each section and they are very good at locking in the concepts. I finished a mathematics degree and realized afterwards that there just wasn't enough of a focus on the concepts and beauty. Even with 4 years of math experience, this book still managed to open my eyes
Psst, remove the "I've downvoted you" bit. It weakens the entirety of your argument.

I agree with you otherwise.
The US is not RAND, and obviously neither wrote the report in question, which reads like a declaration of war.

If this abject nonsense is the kind of news the Swedish far-right read, Sweden is in even more trouble than I thought.
The trick with Wasabi is that you are generally expected to not retrieve more than you’ve input in the same month, no?

“Less egress” would essentially be the trick on wasabi where zero egress cost is the defining feature of R2. Of course, there must be limits to it but it is interesting.

Wonder if at this point teams start to consider different S3 providers for different weekends

> C does not distinguish between registers and memory

Just nitpicking, but doesn't C have the register keyword? (I know it does nothing at all nowadays, but AFAIK it did make a slight difference back in the dark ages.)
> How is Finland in NATO sad?

I was talking about Russian perspective.

> the largest defensive military alliance in the world

Putting aside the question of whether large military alliances are a good or a bad thing, NATOs "defensiveness" and peacefulness is nothing more than a marketing slogan:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NATO_operations

One surely doesn't use toxic depleted uranium munitions for defense.

> they clearly felt as a country

What exactly is implied by "as a country"? Cuz I remember how some Fins were upset that there wasn't any specific voting process, but only a decision of politicians.

> invaded by the USSR in the past that they needed more protections.

If you are referring to the Winter war some years after the collapse of the Russian Empire (of which Finland had been part of), this has all been resolved a long time ago, and all the political will for conflict and related frictions had died out before any of us was born.

> Russia won't even breathe in the direction of Finland now

Did it though? There were no frictions up until Finlands decision to join NATO.

> because Russia cannot handle NATO and Russia knows it.

Russia already feels like it's handling NATO in Ukraine with all those NATO instructors and NATO weapons.
Besides, I think by now it should be clear that "I dare you, watchagonnado" politics doesn't bring you to good places.
> Cancel culture will not win

But what are they doing to actually prevent censorship?

This feels like an excuse to capitalize on the politically charged term of “cancel culture”.

My grift alert is blaring.

The definition of OSS doesn't force you to bring someone into your house, but it does very clearly forbid you from keeping them outside.
How dystopian does it sound that a "eSafety Commissioner" decides what is "harmful" for you to look at. A food safety commissioner banning harmful food is good, but this is an unelected person deciding what we can and can't look at, under the guise that looking at something on the internet can be harmful. Total bs. She probably gets paid so so much of our money to do absolutely nothing, it's infuriating.

If you live in Australia, make sure you use CloudFlare DNS, or anything except the default.
If you're using it for hot object storage and not as a cold backup, Wasabi has by far the worst egress situation of any object storage provider. They have "free" egress because egress is capped at 1 full retrieval per month, and they'll just ban you if you use more. R2 has actual, legitimately free egress. I think there's almost no overlap in use cases between Wasabi and R2 even though they're ostensibly both object storage providers.
Fair enough, advice taken. I also removed the downvote as it was a bit petty!
Maybe they just want one slimmer card for an itx build? All the 40xx announcements from nvidia were 3-slot cards.
This is really interesting! I have been keeping an eye on the low code number modeling scene and it's great to see a mix on the usual spreadsheet + X.

I applied for early access but I wanted to ask how you balance the amount of spreadsheet and modeling you expose vs keeping it out of sight?
The consequence by law was the revocation of their banking license. But because they are "too big to fail", they got away with a slap on the wrist instead.

> But what are they doing to actually prevent censorship?

Payment processing.

edit: I have to say that I'm finding the replies unintelligible. The largest payment processors are banning organizations from receiving payments. This organization claims that they will not do that. Would that destroy censorship in the world, or keep Visa and Mastercard from banning people (or banning Parallel Economy themselves?) No. Does it stop censorship at your local high school paper? Also no.
To be clear, I 100% support the crypto slots ban. Regulation is one issue. Another is the general young age of Twitch viewers. But the biggest reason of all is just how destructive gambling addiction is.

It's also worth noting that not all slots streaming is what's called "cash balance", meaning the streamer is betting real money. A lot are betting fake money where their losses aren't real but neither are the winnings. It's never advertised that this is the case. But this is an even worse level of deception.

That all beiing, I too am fascinated with the psychology of watching someone else play slots. It does seem to be real. Watching someone quite literally lose $100k+ in an hour has a certain fascination. There are big wins too. Trainwrecks for example has spun a $7m+ win.

You could more generally ask why people watch other people play video games. I never understood why (years ago). But it makes sense. You get to exxperience someone else playing something for the first time (which you can never do again). You get to get a lot of the psychological "pay off" for playing a game without the investment.

I imagine slots is similar. If you read about gambling addiction, it's not the wins that are addictive. It's not even the losses. It's that period of not knowing the outcome after you press the spin button. That's what people get addicted to.

So a viewer can get that same pay off from watching someone else hit the spin button.

At least that's my guess. Once you get over the fascination of watching money disappear that fast (which for me didn't take that long), it doesn't appeal to me at all.
Hostile feedback is a great way to push anyone away. I tried to submit a big report to DD-WRT involving a somewhat important feature completely failing to function. I gave them all the details required to fully reproduce the bug on their end, which has been the standard for bug reports at every single company I have ever worked for.

They threw it back in my face, demanding that I find the actual place in the code where the bug was happening, and that it wasn’t a proper “bug report” without that information. Sorry, but I just don’t have time for that level of arrogance. I provided exactly what the software industry demands for a bug report (workflow + reproducibility), it’s the support team’s job to use that spoon-fed info to dig into the code itself.

I mean, it’s different if I was making or requesting a specific code change, but I wasn’t. While I am a programmer myself, I wasn’t going to swan-dive into a completely unfamiliar codebase written in an unfamiliar language and built using unfamiliar tooling and spend weeks (if not months) of my own time learning it, just to reach a conclusion that they could probably reach in an hour or three with their own experience and familiarity with the product.
What about a system that allows requiring a fee to "open an issue" or "file a bug report". GitHub could add that to the issue creator pretty easily. And maybe there could be tiers. Free issue == no guarantees. $5000 issue == guaranteed fix.
> Or.. honk your horn? Slow down without "slamming on the brakes"?

this depends on the assumption that other drivers are aware of their surroundings and following you at a safe distance. unfortunately that's not usually the case on roads in my area. you could try that, or you could avoid the entire altercation by escaping to the open space ahead of you.

> In your scenario, lets make one small change, instead of the car being behind you it is in front... does accelerating help?

is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha? let me make my point more clear. your car has brakes, an accelerator, and a steering wheel. use whichever one of those takes you in the opposite direction of the impending collision and doesn't require other drivers to avoid you instead.
Nah, Perl can be a perfectly fine applications language. Some things get kind of ugly with it (object-orientation is notoriously hacky and there are two different approaches to classes that take inverse (literally) approaches to how to represent the objects in terms of Perl’s scalars, arrays and maps. It does suffer a bit from being an early mover so there are questionable choices like the fact that library code is traditionally installed system-wide so good luck if application A needs library v3 an application B needs v2 and v2 and v3 have some subtle incompatibility, but Perl is no less capable than Python and arguably more capable than PHP, both of which have plenty of applications written in them.
I only read the DS occasionally these days, but to accuse this particular site of fear-mongering is really just a knee jerk reaction that shows you don't know anything about it.

The site was originally born as Lockdown Sceptics in ~March 2020 and has historically been devoted to combating fear, not engaging in it. The site's history consists mostly of articles arguing that lockdowns and other COVID countermeasures were an overreaction based on hysteria and bad assumptions by governments/academics. In 2020 of course this was considered incredible heresy and "misinformation" even though a lot of the people writing for it were actual doctors, scientists and researchers themselves.

Since the UK PM leadership contest, several high ranking members of the Johnson administration have walked back their previous support for lockdowns and judging from the Spectator/Telegraph the feeling inside the ruling party is now much more aligned with the Daily Sceptic's writers - the Cabinet woke up to the fact that SAGE were feeding them misinformation and the scale of the problem was being regularly exaggerated. E.g. Rishi Sunak said the Treasury had someone on SAGE conf calls for a while who didn't speak, so they didn't realize she was there, and she fed notes back to Sunak who then compared then to the official minutes the government was being sent. What a surprise, the official minutes expunged any mention of dissent or disagreement with whatever the most extreme proposals were.

At some point Lockdown Sceptics became the Daily Sceptic and it branched out. Since then it covers not only COVID topics but also generic anti-woke stuff, debate about the situation in Ukraine (with Ian Rons and Toby Young taking up the more conventional side of the argument and others arguing against), and a bunch of other stuff I'm not so interested in.

Nonetheless the idea that they spread misinformation let alone "hate" is absurd. The writers are mostly a bunch of middle aged academics and journalists making various counter-cultural points, who use graphs and data tables 10x more than the average journalist does.
When I taught new hires about Brazil, the common response was to revile in horror that they’d have to learn (not their favorite language specific build tool). It didn’t take long, however, for most people to see its benefits and then get past that initial bias.
I think it shows market failure when someone can offer exactly the same service as a competitor (an S3 API) for an 80% lower price, and not almost immediately take over the whole market.

I think governments need to step in and require that compute platforms like AWS are split up into constituent parts, and there is no cost disadvantage to mix-n-matching between suppliers. Eg. VM's on Azure and storage across the road in AWS should not require payment of egress fees that wouldn't be payable within either providers network.
Nice pivot.

I look forward to this "economy" stabilizing in the same way that Truth Social or Parler did - at about a tenth of the scale of their competition. Happy to let the pill-sellers and woke-fearers spend their money in their own little walled garden, well away from where I every have to hear about it (or be advertised to).
