It seems far from good with mixed language content, especially with English and Japanese together. The timestamps are far from perfect. It's far from perfect. It's nowhere close to human for the more ambiguous translations that depend on context of word. It's far below what anyone that spoke either language would consider acceptable. Maybe it's unfair to use music, but music is the most realistic test of whether it's superior to the average human.
That just means the market is illogical though, does not mean a crash must mean all of sudden all investors are logical? As quoted by the famous Keynes, “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” It’s like meme stocks like AMC/APE and GME. Does any of it make sense to me? Nope. Are people making and losing a ton of money? Sure. Is it a good indication of US economy health or dare I say, US stock market health? Really hard to say.

It's kind of crazy to look back and see just how much worse we are today than some years ago with regards to this stuff. I remember an old social media named Orkut, had pretty much everything facebook had and more, also had a huge userbase in brazil and india(?) iirc, but just goot overtaken by facebook. Original skype would probably work better than zoom does today with a few tweaks(I assume, could be wrong there when it comes to joining calls without being "friends" and such). Never used communicator but I assume it would fill the role just as well by your description. Not even going to mention forums getting gutted and being replaced with discord servers that nobody uses voice(the reason i'd assume one would prefer to use a discord server). Cmmunities that didn't want to go for a forum had several "closed community" website creators(that I cannot for the life of me remember the names) and that all got replaced by subreddits...

Quite sad to see the internet continuously being shrunk down to the lowest common denominator, some federated efforts like the fediverse make me quite hopeful, a shame most of them mimick twitter.
While it's technically correct to say that the software itself does not make it particularly difficult to install non-free packages, it also doesn't come with non-free repos when you set it up, and the documentation and official support channels intentionally lack information on non-free repos. As default settings and documentation are a critical part of a software project, it still has the end result of making it harder (much harder for non-technically-inclined users) to do so.
I've never heard of anyone complaining that the OG Pixelbook was underpowered. Even today, it runs Chrome just fine.
PIPs require a tremendous amount of effort and work. It also doesn't guarantee that the person would be fired. There are many times where the employee might do just enough to get off the PIP, but still be a really low performer.

It also sucks for the employee, a PIP is really stressful not knowing what will happen next, will you get fired, should you start looking for a new job.

In addition, the PIP can take months to get to the finish. Maybe even six months in some cases.

A layoff takes way less time, but it does suck for the employee. I don't know which is worse. But if you have a good employer, you still might be able to transfer to another part of the company. Being on a PIP usually means your only choice is looking outside the company for a new job.

Layoffs always hit good and low performers, there is no way it can't. But if a company wants to get rid of a number of low performers at the same time, PIPs are not the way to go.

postgres has a version of this preempts idea with default values on columns. postgres will fill in the value at query time without needing to backfill the data. postgres is not a horizontally scalable database like FDB so not a direct comparison. In practice this means the migration lock is much shorter and it becomes possible to actually have a default in large tables.

At least in the US, the COVID naming thing was most definitely a political issue. Trump called it the "CHINA-virus" not as a neutral country-of-origin differentiator, but specifically to lay blame on China and to deflect responsibility inside the US for dealing with the disease. I think it was more than appropriate to push back on that term, which was promoted only to redirect outrage away from the Administration.

I think it would be helpful to add an "about" -- I was a little confused by the product. If a type in "remote jobs", does that mean the job boards produced specialize in remote jobs or have remote jobs posted (or both)? Also, it looks like you can only search existing tags, which is fine but the search bar graphic makes it look like you can type in anything you want. I think a "how this works" or "about" would make a big difference!

It isn't about probability at all. You live in the universe where you will survive maximally. That is fundimentally an unlikely state. You might have started in a "normalish" mainline universe, but you can't stay there and live "forever" too.

The amount of JS to download and parse is only one component that makes SPAs slow. SPAs often have to do another request to fetch json. Depending on how far away you are from the web server, and some users are literally on the other end of the world, this latency can be really large. You don't just want to minimize the javascript you also want to minimize the round trips. But using a small js framework is a good start I think.

You desperately need a ticketing system like Trello or another Kanban. Have people (and yourself) file tickets for all work items. Line up the tickets you're going to work on this week to give yourself 40-50 hours of work. Now you have something to show other people on teams, managers, etc and a document of your work.

All new work needs to go through the ticketing system and all new work needs a priority attached to it.

Every Monday you plan out your work for the week and line up higher priority tickets first.

If something immediate comes up during the week, you put a ticket out and bring the new item in.
76%. More than three quarters.

For wind, the number is 72%.

No, that isn't acceptable. If you take information from climate experts instead of vendors, they say the acceptable line is 5%.

Solar is not clean. Wind is not clean.

Three quarters means we're not actually solving the problem.

During Covid, a lot of atypical British stuff showed up on US network tv. Not new stuff, either; networks picked through the recent catalog to find stuff they thought would work. One example was Dead Pixels.

> If American produces want to remake shows from the UK I wish they'd do it with panel shows.

They do, but they are very bad. They just remade Would I Lie To You? recently. It was not very funny. They did a Taskmaster a few years ago. Horrific.
+1. How is it so bad on so many levels? Like just browsing and searching for files in the files tab. It’s impossible even with numbers of files Explorer could easily handle in Windows 2000.
Part of it is simply different television formats. The Office UK specifically aired on BBC One without commercials which meant that it had to be cut down to fit on a major network's timeslot of 20-24 min. Shows like that typically have to go to special TV stations like PBS or BBC America in order to get a commercial-free timeslot or (in BBC America's case) finagled into a less common time slot with weird commercial break timings. Even with shows that have the same length as
a standard US show, the break timings are at different points making it more complicated for TV networks to schedule ad space around.

And then there's the larger issue of a lot of British TV actors simply not having the recognizability of their American counterparts which is a major selling point (esp in the pre-web media days). Steve Carrell was a minor star from his time on the Daily Show which made him a good fit to 'sell' the US Office.

It was a minor cult hit, especially among the technologically-inclined demographic. But it's not especially well-known.

Its part of the spec, and not even obscure. this is not even scratching the surface of nightmare level C.
> Ah. The new definition of standards I see. The only thing that matters is how long it's been in development. Not the checks notes reality and the actual standards track.

There's a process to get features like webtransport into browsers and available everywhere. The process started with some proposals at W3C, continued with some discussions and specs being written up at both the IETF and the W3C. The work more-or-less concludes with broad browser support and applications being written using the spec.

The process takes years and its nearly complete. Webtransport has been in the works since at least 2019. Support has landed in Chrome and Edge. Hopefully we'll soon see the spec be ratified, get implementations in Firefox and Safari and then we can start using it in production software.

You said:

> Because it's not a standard. The status is "Editor's draft" which is barely above "A draft on a coffee-stained napkin"

We've come a long way from "a draft on a coffee-stained napkin". A draft on a coffee-stained napkin wouldn't have shipping code in Chrome. Just because you can't use it yet in Firefox doesn't mean there hasn't been a helluva lot of work put into making WebTransport come to life so far, from a whole lot of people who have done a lot more work improving the web than most of us will ever know.

> If Consul goes down then you'll lose write availability but your nodes will still be able to perform read queries.

That's a tricky choice of words, since it looks like you lose Consistency, while retaining Availability and Partition Tolerance. If Consul is down everyone reads stale data, but no writes. Right?

Of course, it's harder for Consul to go down than it is for your database to go down, so the Venn Diagram of "Consul unhappy, Database Happy" is fairly heavily populated with "user error". Which is why 'when in doubt, use Consul' is not terrible advice.

There was a US remake of Taskmaster, which is like 50% a panel show. It was exceedingly terrible despite keeping 1 of the 2 UK hosts, and especially compared to the excellent New Zealand and Swedish Taskmaster remakes.

That's not true in this case: if you look at the .c file you can see it actually has no definitions by default and is a relatively normal .h file when it's included.

You can #include it in any number of files as long as exactly one has #define OLIVEC_IMPLEMENTATION.
Ah yes the "dumb money"
A builder may use bricks to build a house - yet he may still be interested in the brick's composition & the brick making method.

These days, he may even use a brick robot to automate bricklaying, and still be interested in the mortar used.

Same for software ?
Ah, I missed that, but I don't think your comment is precisely correct either.

All of the function definitions are declared with OLIVECDEF, which by default is #defined as `static inline`. So if you want to only get a single copy of the implementation, you would have to choose one compilation unit that defines OLIVEC_IMPLEMENTATION, and you would have to define OLIVECDEF as something else (like the empty string) that causes the functions to be non-static.

Still kind of hacky, but not as bad as I thought.

EDIT: I just noticed that only some of the functions are marked with OLIVECDEF, so you have to do this trick if you want to reference the library in multiple compilation units, or else you would get duplicate symbols. The default behavior doesn't seem like it would ever be useful.
Every one of the things you list as unimportant, someone else lists as a mandatory requirement. And that’s why S3 won. No one uses everything it does, but everyone uses a different 10%.

Should probably change the title to "AWS vs GCP on-demand GPU launch time consistency"
Because it was the truth.
They aren't in the same market as Discord. It's Teams vs Slack.
What this doesn't account for is html rendering time on the server.

The reason websites use local javascript to render html is so they don't have to do it on their server while you have to wait for the result. This way you have the perception of a page load while the html renders. It's actually a better experience for the user.

This entire analysis assumes that the server renders the html instantly. Unless it is static content that is highly cacheable, chances are the render time on your machine isn't much slower than the server, but the website can use a lot less compute resource to make the webpage for you since your computer is doing part of the work.

Also, chances are they have to transmit less data to you, which cuts down on network latency as well.

Unfortunately, it's a bit of a tough slog, it's not written for the popular press. But it's worth it if you're really interested in understanding what's really going on.
"AWS encountered one valid launch error in these two weeks whereas GCP had 84."

84 times more launch errors seems like a valid definition for "less reliable".

This is not quite true - GPU's are limited to select VM types, and the number of GPU's you have influences the maximum number of cores you can get. In general they're only available on the n1 instances (except the a100's, but those are far less popular)

How to use a smart contract escrow service
Well… The Altverse escrow Beta is officially LIVE!

Freelancers rejoice! Our smart contract based Escrow service is going to revolutionize the way freelancers and clients interact. No more trust based systems where you have to trust the client will pay on time (or at all). Now parties can contract freely and securely with complete peace of mind knowing that the funds are held in escrow and will be released automatically when tasks are complete.

We look forward to giving you feedback when we conclude the Beta Test. If you have any questions or ideas regarding the Escrow or just Altverse in general, please feel free to contact the admins/mods any time.

Cheers

It's called HTTP. The problem with all these services is they're using HTTPS for encryption and verification.

Which breaks all normal caching proxies that can be easily used.

The popular packaging formats are better at this: distribute keys over https, then just http to download and verify packages. Squid and co work just fine here.

I'd given up on OpenAI being open or ethical, but this is a start. It took them down from "evil super-villain" status to mere villain.
