I do see your point. The definition implies a lack of free agency in Ukraine's involvement. There must be some kind of word for it, but I have no idea where to find it. If not, one should be coined. "Symbiotic war" is about the best I can come up with.
I got a pretty complacent or even celebratory vibe from folks around here when a very similar played out at Coinbase...
Please clarify what is "poorly cached" and what is your solution to be not so poorly cached in this context. Looks like you're overestimating blindly.
I suggest you try the web app version, it’s faster and more stable.

In fact, I believe Microsoft will replace the desktop client with a web app shell.

1. Install the Microsoft Edge Web browser on Mac or Windows

It is clickbait, the real title should be "AWS vs. GCP on-demand provisioning of GPU resources performance is wildly different".

That said, while I agree that launch time and provisioning error rate are not sufficient to define reliability, they are definitely a part of it.
Walter, you regularly state opinions as fact, and usually don’t seem to bother to add any analysis to shore up your opinion. You have clear skills at creating the D language, however the creator of the HolyC[1] compiler had some opinions too ;p

I am not actually disagreeing with your point. I am just saying 10 out of your 10 most recent comments lack any external links or analysis, and 5 out of 10 comments are low value (IMHO) one-liners...

Disclaimer: I admit I am completely ignorant of macro-economics (even though I helped create and develop a sizeable business that mostly depended on macro-economics!)

Thanks for you summary! I, for one, needed it. Can you comment on why the BSB found that anonymized IP addresses are personal data (3rd point). Is it because the anonymization is too weak?

Edit: seems GA only masks the last octet of an IP4 address.
I've always had pretty good luck w/ Apple software just working and no real hassle. I would say they largely accomplish this with minimalism... it has far less features than any comparable products from MS, which can be annoying if you need those missing features. MS seems focused on adding features without extensively testing/debugging, so many of them don't work.

Less scaling, smaller focus? I kid, but there's not an actual correct answer to any of this. Nobody likes nepotism except the family that it serves.
I like a lot of the light phone 2 but similar to the punkt the price tag for features is really lacking.

Excuse me, but this is exactly the naive nonsense I mean.

> And these goals are: "Return of all Ukrainian territory, comprehensive multilateral security guarantees, reparations and war crimes indictments."

Oh, so the goal will be for Ukraine to defeat Russia to the last, Selensky to accept the surrender at the Red Square, and Putin answers to Hague?

The only way to achieve this is to go to Moscow and force the government out of office.

Sounds easy! Just a few more bloody battles in St. Petersburg and Moscow because Putin is not thinking of giving up voluntarily and we are back home by tea time?

Or should the war - as long as it lasts - go on for the next 30 years?

So what is the military strategy now? Throw the Russian forces out of Ukraine and then fight their way to Moscow?

Write Ukraine a blank cheque, blindly provide them with weapons and let them do as they please? And of course, since the Ukrainian army are the good guys and the Russians are the bad guys - did Selensky guaranteed never to take revenge on the Russian population? Is he even capable of giving such a guarantee?

Because war crimes are obviously committed - exclusively - only by the Russians? This is war. So do really think only bad guys do war crimes?

What about reparations then? Will Germany also get a small war profit - after all, the German population suffered from the non-existent economic war and spent a lot of money on artillery?

> Telling people how to talk is just wrong in my opinion.

I don't think it's necessarily wrong, my issue with it is that the policing comes usually with snark. As if only total disgust to a term and a middling aggressive tone will help.

I only got to learn how some terms can be harmful through empathy, and try to apply that when trying to make a point about why I think using term such-and-such wrong. Even then I still reject when someone approaches someone's perceived non-politically correct speech with snark, we should save that for egregious instances of it, not for small slights...
Reliability in general is measured on the basic principle of: does it function within our defined expectations? As long as it's launching, and it eventually responds within SLA/SLO limits, and on failure comes back within SLA/SLO limits, it is reliable. Even with GCP's multiple failures to launch, that may still be considered "reliable" within their SLA.

If both AWS and GCP had the same SLA, and one did better than the other at starting up, you could say one is more performant than the other, but you couldn't say it's more reliable if they are both meeting the SLA. It's easy to look at something that never goes down and say "that is more reliable", but it might have been pure chance that it never went down. Always read the fine print, and don't expect anything better than what they guarantee.
Any way to configure this with 16GB or more of RAM so that I don't need to upgrade later?
> Very clear the market has now negatively reacted to high operating expenses that largely stem from excessive headcount.

Are you saying that because stock prices are dropping that the market has reacted to excessive headcount?

Cause I think a better explanation for that, is that in the past 2 years we've had inflation, and that was reflected in the profits of the companies for 2020-21, and now that the fed is lowering interest rates, we're expecting that inflation to stop, and so that's affecting the stock market.

This seems to have very little to do with these companies business models, and everything to do with them failing to recognize that their profit changes are readily explained by inflation/deflation. Which seems to be a better explanation of what the markets are reacting to.

From this 2000 article:

>The recent rise in margin credit has focused attention on the Federal Reserve’s margin requirements for purchasing equities with borrowed funds, which has been at 50% since 1974. In November and December of 1999, margin credit grew very rapidly, outpacing the sizable appreciation in the overall stock market. And in January 2000, it grew further while the stock market’s valuation dropped, leaving the ratio of margin credit to market capitalization at its highest level in the past 29 years. This Economic Letter discusses the recent trend in margin credit and the merits of using margin requirements as a policy tool.

> ...

> The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 mandated federal regulation of purchasing securities on margin. The margin requirement was motivated by the concern that credit-financed securities speculation helped fuel the run-up in stock prices prior to the stock market crash of 1929. The act viewed the Federal Reserve as responsible for managing the availability of credit in the economy, so the Fed was charged with setting margin requirements for securities purchases. The Securities Exchange Commission was directed to enforce those regulations.

https://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economi...

According to Wikipedia, the rate hasn't been changed since the 1970s:

> Regulation T governs the extension of credit by securities brokers and dealers in the United States.[1] Its best-known function is the control of margin requirements for stocks bought on margin. The initial margin requirement for such margin stock purchases has been 50%[2] since 1974,[3] but Regulation T gives the Federal Reserve the authority to change this percentage. Raising the margin requirement ostensibly reduces risk in the financial system by reducing the potential leverage and total buying power of investors. Conversely, lowering the margin requirement increases systemic risk by expanding the buying power and leverage available to investors. Since 1974, the Federal Reserve has not deemed it necessary to adjust the margin requirement despite periodic extremes of price volatility in the equities markets.[4]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_T

Given the absolute neglect of the mandate it was given on this, I suspect the Fed views even mere talk of increasing margin rates as the nuclear option. But if the usual roll call of psyops fail to deliver, this thing is there in its back pocket. I imagine the mere threat would cut 20% off the S&P overnight.
More people that actually use GA, the less bad it will be. If everybody does it, it becomes De Facto legal, and makes it clear how little authority the Danish government has.

What is your definition of reliability?

So many people working in VC went straight into it after Stanford without ever starting a company, like it’s investment banking or something. Maybe the VC industry will shrink along with the startups, or at least the unhelpful partners.

This is spot on. I remember thinking that they added so many features very early on, even though they were still struggling with the most basic ones. And it sounds like they still do.
Maybe you have missed the US government's reputation of paying its debts and the FDIC's near 100 year history of paying out? It's hard to miss but I'm sure for some people it's possible.
This doesn't leave me with a lot of confidence:

>Once again a leak in the same propellant line that forced the scrub during the Sept. 3 attempt gave NASA headaches. But teams were able to reset the flow of the fuel line, which minimized the leak to acceptable levels so that more than 730,000 gallons of cryogenic propellant were loaded into the rocket.
Yes, if you display a custom 404 page.
There have been very few “swings” at all. This response is case in point for “so measured it is probably not enough”. Policy has been incredibly stable in the last decade, and then we had a crazy pandemic and the fiscal policy response, in hindsight, was wrong.
> Point is, there isn't something fundamentally currency-like about one versus the other other than state backing.
I'd say that's as fundamental as you can get. One is backed up by guns, the other is backed up by literally nothing.
It is completely crazy that human biomass is so big in comparison.
true, the grammar and semantics work out, but since reliability needs a target usually it's a serious design flaw to rely on something that never demonstrably worked like your reliability target assumes.

so that's why in engineering it's not really used as such. (as far as I understand at least.)
we have always been memory-bound, in one way or another, even today.

the difference in performance between an application using RAM with random access patterns and an application using RAM sequentially is far more than you are expecting it to be if you haven’t actually measured it. an order of magnitude or more for sequential stuff over random access. having your data already in the L1 cache before you need it is worth the effort it takes to make that happen.
There's only the one (8GB) configuration available for purchase. RAM upgrades, while possible, will have to be done yourself.
You’re also taking on risk (otherwise the bank would just skip you and buy the asset directly).
It’s a good design but I disagree that it improves on all the safety features. For starts the child proof safety shutters are still only optional in some regions.

> We don't just take the permabear crowd word immediately, we move when the data shows an issue. Not before.

Following the data means you're inevitably running after the facts. Running after the facts inevitably causes feedback loops. I'm sure those feedback loops were tuned correctly to not blow the whole thing up, right. Right? RIGHT??

Say ... what happened last time? Oh ... right.
Not really newspeak. The difference is that you're still getting paid in between and still have a job, pretty different from getting laid off where you often don't get paid and don't have a job.
Lol, sure- for certain use-cases, it works fine. But the only way it stays consistently good is because Big-O severely limits the scope.

The Oracle DB internal team culture is just plain depressing. Stuck 30 years in the past in terms of development practices, little or no innovation is allowed. Function names are limited to four or five characters, and the source control is literally from the nineties.
Maybe that's the secret to success: Trap enough H1Bs and use the whip.

I suppose it all depends on how you define "good quality". Across many dimensions, Oracle is somehow better than average.

Maybe it's because, for all it's faults, Oracle does always prioritize security what "quality", whatever management decides that means.

Sure beats the Google strategy of constantly murdering anything that isn't Gmail or Search. Is this even a real strategy, or just the lack of one?

Debt isn’t the problem - it’s what happens when you can’t pay the debtor. Personal recourse debt is a scourge on the world, especially the poor.
If a businessman “games the system”, for example by structuring their companies in a way that avoids paying millions in taxes, they are “savvy”.

When poor people get even the smallest bit ahead, “they are getting scattershot handouts”.

You are talking about families earning less than 2k/month. In California. I honestly doubt that can cover transportation expenses alone in SF.

That reminds me of the Nahuatl word centzon, which is used to mean either 400, or an innumerable/infinite number. The Aztecs used a base-20 number system, so 400 = 20*20.

This reminds of a previous music study. The professor teaching my genetics class in grad school said he thought that musical ability was heritable- look at all the children of musicians who are good at music! Several of us sort of looked at each other like "did he really just say that and not think that perhaps exposure to labelled examples during a time of neural plasticity would dominate?"

Sure. Agreed. And agreed a priori and proactively in my post. We can and should improve and change and reform police and hold them accountable and reduce their mandate and so on.

My response was specifically to the notion,explicitly stated, that we don't need and shouldn't have police no matter how defined, and that it's purpose is not worthile. Later I think that position was clarified and we are all good now.

I don't think most stock image users really care all that much. They just want a picture of someone pointing at a whiteboard which AI will generate pretty well.

No you don’t get it. Risk assets are priced from interest rates. Low interest rates inflated assets, which caused mass wealth inequality and excess wealth made by owners of capital. The picture is way more complex, we have had deflation due to outsourcing and technology. So it’s been impossible to get inflation.

Like the article said, The promise of the cloud is that you can easily get machines when you need them the cloud that sometimes does not get you that machine(or does not get you that machine in time) is a less reliable cloud than the one that does.

Its sort of lazy thinking, so of course a lot of people will come to the same conclusion.

I mean, sure there might be people not giving their best. But most people want to do work, want their work to be meaningful, and will generally do the right thing if guided correctly. The number of "slackers" who try to get by with no/0 effort is small, no way it could be large enough to meaningfully affect the bottomline.
If they have agreed to task-based work and that's clear for both parties, then sure. Zero issues there.

If they entered agreement (no matter legal form), that led company to believe that they will dedicate full time equivalent to given company and then did the same with another company, and charge both for full time, then it's obvious scam. It's simply beyond mental capacity of regular human being to carry out such contract.

People tend to rationalize latter one, but they will end on bad side of the layoffs, because it's simply unsustainable to pay full compensation for half-time work.
So, can you give me some pointers to the explanation how they wouldn’t be worse trained? Especially given the previous attempt, the (already failed) “third army”?

As for “new stuff” - the actually new stuff didn’t exist or was so scarce it didn’t matter. Here I mean the “new stuff” from Russian army point of view. This includes late Cold War. Note how Russia can’t manufacture Armata tanks or BMP3, so it’s switching back to manufacturing 80’s models instead.
