They pause your VM, copy everything about its state over to the new machine, and quickly start the other instance. It's pretty clever. I think there are tricks you can play with machines that have large memory footprints to copy most of it before the pause, and only copy what has changed since then during the pause.

The disks are all on the network, so no need to move anything there.
wtf! I had no idea this existed!
Our sense of smell is still unknownish as to how we detect so many different smells without clogging up the smell receptors.
No shit - that figures.

I never asked for those sqlites, I'm sure they were introduced long after I became dependent on Thunderbird. Nobody ever warned me that I was now a janitor! - I don't think I should need to know about sqlite admin conventions to install and use TBird, and the TBird website doesn't make much noise about it.

TBird seems to propose to compact this folder or that from time to time; so I assume it's looking after that, and my folders are in the sort of compaction ranges I've set.

Dammmit, I had no idea that sqlites were supposed to be vacuumed. I need a robot sqlite vacuuming machine, I'm too old for hard work.
There's been some hypotheses of photosynthesis relying on quantum effects to improve its efficiency but it's still contentious the last that I checked [1].

This would have been my guess. All EBS volumes are stored on a physical disk that supports the highest bandwidth and IOPS you can live migrate to, and the actual rates you get are determined by something in the interconnect. Live migration is thus a matter of swapping out the interconnect between the VM and the disk or even just relaxing a logical rate-limiter, without having to migrate your data to a different disk.
I’m seriously tempted by this. I’m not a chrome user today; I have heard that when MV3 comes out, I won’t be able to use adblockers in Chrome. Is that right?
Isn’t the A2 much weaker than a 3090? So those results are promising.

EDIT: for what it's worth, Nvidia rated the A2 at 18 TFLOPS of FP16, and Apple rates the current A16 Neural Engine at 17 TFLOPS of FP16. I'm sure it's not an "apples to apples" comparison.
It would need to last 3 times longer before needing a single replacement part for the cost to lifetime ratio to even out. Each replacement part in that timeframe pushes the value time out further. I'm not convinced it would be cheaper in the long run.
Eh, not really. Because you're buying the house on a loan but not buying iphones on the loan.

When you choose to get a loan you're pumping a few hundred thousand that was leveraged into existence into multiple industries that gets distributed into the economy, that gets distributed to hundreds of people working.

When you choose just to just buy an iphone, that's $1000ish your spending of your own money.
MtGox involved few thousands people. There's more than 100M people at least who speculated on crypto.

Advertising.

Musk's advertising strategy with Tesla has been to keep telling a bigger lie. Telsa's full self-driving is neither full nor self. FSD doesn't work right. But that doesn't matter because the lie sure works. People keep buying in even after 9 years of false promises:

https://jalopnik.com/elon-musk-promises-full-self-driving-ne...

The Tesla bot is just the next lie. It doesn't matter if it never works right. It doesn't matter if it is perpetually "one year away". People will buy in, just like they did with FSD.
It would be more appropriate to use something moderately healthy as opposed to "smoking". "Protein" might be a better metaphor.

You need protein for cells to work, and you want to grow and grow strong. But most protein has some potential cancer or heart disease correlation.
I used their free trial and discovered that my work email, that I never even gave to linkedin, is on there. No wonder I get so much spam email.

I have no idea how they got it. Anyone know if there's a way to force them to remove it?

Echoing this. The SRE book is also highly revealing about how Google request prioritization works. https://sre.google/sre-book/load-balancing-datacenter/

My personal opinion is that Google's resources are more tightly optimized than AWS and they may try to find the 99% best allocation versus the 95% best allocation on AWS.. and this leads to more rejected requests. Open to being wrong on this.
We are adding Google and Bing search console integration to https://wideangle.co, should arrive rather soon :)

As other posters mentioned, there are numerous GA alternatives, with varying degree of compliance and features.
Electron basically IS an entire OS. Since Chromium has APIs for doing just about anything, including accessing the filesystem and USB devices and 500 other APIs.
Well, but that's not really what it's doing. WAL1 mode in SQLite is different than in your typical RDBMS. WAL mode in SQLite is just getting the write path outside of the read path, but there is still only 1 write allowed at any given time. The "fake" concurrency is done by letting write transactions queue up and wait for the lock.

See [here](https://sqlite.org/wal.html) under "2.2. Concurrency" where it says:

> "However, since there is only one WAL file, there can only be one writer at a time."

SQLite is awesome, I'm a huge fan, but if you need to do lots and lots of writes, then SQLite is not your friend. Luckily that's a very rare application. There is a reason you never see SQLite being the end point for logs and other write-heavy applications.
This reads like a professor who's so steeped in research that he's forgotten how to communicate to his students!

What exactly are we talking about here? A WebSQL thats actually synced to a proper RDBMS? Synced across devices? I'm not clear about an end to end use case.

Edit: Honestly, this line from the LiteFS docs[0] needs to be added to the top of the article:

> LiteFS is a distributed file system that transparently replicates SQLite databases. This lets you run your application like it's running against a local on-disk SQLite database but behind the scenes the database is replicated to all the nodes in your cluster. This lets you run your database right next to your application on the edge.

I had no idea what was being talked about otherwise.

They don’t have useful things for those employees to do.

And why would they need justification? They don’t owe anyone permanent sinecures.
When humans copy verbatim, even only partially, there are consequences unless it's fair use.
Well that’s a bit of a leap, but I still stand by that content moderation can lead to a bias in the conversation. But judging by the downvote people seem to disagree.
That's an incorrect definition of gambling, although it is an accurate portrayal of most gambling.

Poker is a good reason why your definition is incorrect. Poker is gambling, but it doesn't resemble you slowly losing your money to the house. I mean, that happens too, but it resembles slowly losing your money to the other players.

Unless you're in the small % of winning players, then it looks like gambling where you slowly win money from the other players.
I made a PR to add this link to the readme.

>I've noticed news articles saying that Meta have been cutting back on support staff, like cleaners and custodial roles. To me, these are the wrong people to be cutting.

In my experience, some non-trivial amount of these cost-control measures is about signaling. I worked in Japan for a large company that allowed employees to ride in first class (Green Car) on the Narita Express when traveling internationally for business; that went away during a period of belt-tightening. Saved a whole $15 each way.

Maybe 1 reported. Not saying aws reliability is bad, but the number of various glitches that crop up in various aws services and not reflected on their status page is quite high.
I think you meant to type this instead of what you actually typed:

In a rural area, you had a few beers, you're at 0.07, and your wife has a stroke. The speed limit through nowhere is 50 and on the way you plateau at 0.09. You hit my best friend Zain as he is walking home from my house after playing Street Fighter II: Champion Edition on my SNES in the early spring of 1994 and making plans for his 14th birthday. Because, I mean, c'mon it's only 0.09 and the restaurant lobby has bribed the US government into believing that 0.08 is safe even though every single other civilized country ON THE ENTIRE FUCKING PLANET has set the limit at 0.03 or below and it's not like you can't bake a cake without breaking a few Zains, right? Besides you drive better when you're buzzed EVERYONE knows this who cares what a voluminous body of scientific literature says because fuck you you aren't gonna tell me what to do with my life and I don't give a fuck if Zain dies just because of some bullshit fantasy scenario I made up because I'm the only person who matters in this story, bud you and your friends are just pieces of shit and I don't care if every time you look in the mirror and you see your greying sideburns and wrinkled belly you think about how you're an old man now and your best friend never made it to 14 because 0.08 is safe and nothing you can say can change my mind because YOU'RE A FASCIST and anyone who criticizes my bullshit scenarios with the actual truth can go to hell. Now I'm going to deflect any criticism of drunk driving with "whaddabow tired driving huh, huh, huh?" because not only am I a selfish asshole, I am also such a sniveling little turd that I think that is an appropriate response, so there. I mean what if Jason Bourne himself pulls me over on the side of that dark country road and says "UNLESS YOU CAN DRIVE ME TO THE WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW A NUKE WILL EXPLODE" and you've had a couple of glasses of champagne? WTF that scenario is as totally 100% believable as all of the other bullshit I come up with. Try harder next time, Mr. 1984!

I maintain a small list of content killed by DRM on reddit at r/drmgraveyard . I get some kind of Schadenfreude when reading these types of news. DRM sucks, and I believe society should be enforcing waaaay stronger rules to prevent companies from sticking the "SELL" or "BUY" terms to the crap they currently offer for digital content.

I bought a copy of Dungeon Keeper back in the day when it came out (bough it physically in the store) and I still can play it 25 years later. That is a product SOLD, unlike most of current crap (kudos to GOG and websites that sell .EPUBs)
Is that application actually doing on-device transcription? Under "Data safety" on the Google Play page it says "This app may share these data types with third parties: Audio" which doesn't exactly instill confidence that my audio will 100% always stay on my device. It also says "Data is encrypted in transit" but if data stays on the device, why it has to be "encrypted in transit"? There should be no transit at all.
As another comment points out, GPU resources are less common so it takes longer to create, which makes sense. In general, start up times are pretty quick on GCP as other comments also confirm.
While this is technically true, it's always been technically true, even when those in the religion of the SPA claimed it was clearly faster to use CSR over SSR.

This is just realigning what many of us already knew, SSR is faster.

If I may, the argument of "well... sure, but CSR can be plenty fast!" is redrawing the line after someone stepped over it.
Yep, this is why saying "an i5" is meaningless. It covers everything from "weaker than a modern phone" to desktop CPUs that pull 150W and perform as such.
Is this why i find that british accents have worsened in past decade? I can watch a speech from Thatcher pretty well, she speaks quite clearly . But in recent movies and TV series i almost always turn subtitles on
Simulation? Like fluid dynamics. I heard that was CPU intensive.
it would be nice for the architecture field. we deal with lots of crappy unoptimized software that's 20-30 years old. so if you like nice buildings and better energy performance (which requires simulations), give us faster cpus.

imagine you're working on airport. thousands of sheets, all of them PDF. hundreds or thousands of people flipping PDFs and waiting 2-3+ seconds for the screen to refresh. CPUs baby, we need CPUs.
The fed removes liquidity every time it receives a coupon payment or a bond matures (ie, it gets paid cash by the government). It could stop all open market operations and it would continue to remove liquidity from the system by virtue of that process. So, no, it doesn’t need to sell any assets in order to remove liquidity from the system, it simply needs to have lower net outflows of cash than its inflows of cash. As the headline states, since mid April it’s net outflows of cash have been $140 billion less than its inflows.
But the photographer took the picture, determined the framing and composition. A copyright owner for AI would be claiming to own their contribution, the prompt, but not the automated machine generated portion, the image.

Their pulling it from a pile is not an act of creation, and therefore does not qualify. You have to CREATE a work, not critique/currate it.

At best you have an 'anonymous work' by Title 17.

An “anonymous work” is a work on the copies or phonorecords of which no natural person is identified as author.

The fact that it is a curated 'anonymous work' does not make it somehow more copyrightable.

Surface contact is one reason you want an ice/water slurry instead of just ice, but the real reason is that ice melting consume a lot more energy than just ice being warmed up to it's melting point.

The ice will quickly come up to it's melting (equilibrium!) point, without cooling the ice cream mixture very much. Remember, we're trying to freeze the ice cream (not just cool it down), which is proportionally just as thermodynamically expensive as melting ice. Bringing the ice up to it's melting point alone won't suck enough heat out of the ice cream mixture to freeze it.
Diff count/LoC count is recorded and made publicly available for all engineers in a graph that lets you easily compare metrics between developers and teams. This means if you are constantly comparing your output to the rest of the team.

The multi-axis performance review criteria that requires you to show deliverables on things like your impact on team-building or culture. This means that when you might normally get a couple week low-output time between projects, you are usually looking for something to fill in the non-coding axis, like organizing a team virtual offsite event or searching for a way to improve the codebase.

Organizing team activities and code quality initiatives are a good thing, but the explcitivity in which you need to show deliverable impact on all axis is something I found unique to Meta and very exhausting.
I want to see double digit mortgage rates, everyone with an adjustable rate mortgage blown tf out

Then lets look further at how people that have mortgages and build home equity make money: they need 5-30 years of zero disruption in their income, whatever employs the majority of them needs to feel cash strapped and unoptomistic so then the people with mortgages get blown tf out too, within a year

I think you’re being too harsh on yourself, isolation levels don’t typically account for replication lag and network partitioning into account. For example on MySQL you can have async replication and serializable isolation. Replicas in this mode might never receive updates.

Actually it is rocket science.

Bandwidth is a function of power draw. To transmit faster, they need bigger PV panels and bigger batteries, which means bigger satellites, which means rocket science.

Latency, on the other hand, they can control without rocket science.
Ions in a magnetic field swirl in one direction while electrons swirl in the other. Metals when they are being dragged across a magnetic field form eddy currents that oppose the direction of travel of the magnet. In a wire a magnet traversing it makes one end positively charged and the other end negatively charged. In this respect, like charges seem to be concentrating when under the influence of the magnet. Is it right to assume the current is larger with thicker wire and more powerful magnets and the voltage depends on the relative speed of the magnet?

A very short piece of wire encased in CVD diamond and further encased in borosilicate glass. The cavity is filled with fuel gas, the wire is also fuel. A powerful enough magnet, traveling at a fast enough rate could tear the metal down electrically separate its electric charges and when they gyrate they are blocked by the cavity. Diamond is the most atomically dense material with the highest breakdown voltage and also offers very good hydrophobic resistance. Perhaps if we could get the ions in one corner with enough electric pressure they would react.CVD diamond can offer a high degree of precision, and perfect seeds could be further grown imperfectly using high pressure solvent methods into larger, rougher, and tougher forms.

A train car (for comedy relief I added a train) with a superconducting magnet on the side of it as it travels induces the magnetic field to concentrate the charges. The charges get bunched up in the corner of a diamond crystal, they have a little heat too, and wham-o, they fuse. Or just crack the glass. But diamond can keep back tremendous pressure. I haven't seen what kind of pressures are possible to obtain by using diamond cavities instead of extremities.
Elon is fixing the launch cost side of it.

If you have a probe design process that doesn't go through the US congress, it should be substantially faster and cheaper.

Hold on to your papers
The advertised cold-start time of ~600ms is rather impressive! https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/cockroachcloud/serverless...

As a comparison neon.tech advertises about 3 seconds.
I suspect this is coming. I mean we do have decent text to speech systems already, but in this vein of “we used neural networks and now it’s very very good” you can imagine that with something like GPT-3, to extend it they could use this speech to text system so you could speak to it for input, and then a natural progression is that it can use text to speech to return the output, so you just have a voice oriented conversational system.

So I think TTS is a logical part of the system. I also think that there are peculiarities of voice interaction that aren’t captured in text training datasets, so they would need to do some fine tuning on actual voice conversation to make it feel natural.

All in due time I suppose.
I mean if you're talking about worst case systems you assume everything is gone except your infra code and backups. In that case your instance launch time would ultimately define what your downtime looks like assuming all else is equal. It does seem a little weird to define it that way but in a strict sense maybe not.
Perhaps if you read the line directly about the graph you would see it was explained and would not have to ask this question
These are organismal phenotypes which have no direct correlate to molecular phenotypes (because they are complex and caused by entirely nontrivial developmental processes). Even if you knew the proteins involved you couldn't craft a realistic model that explained the observed organismal trait from the protein variations using any amount of existing scientific methods.

Obviously this isn't true for some diseases, such as simple mendelian diseases caused by single SNP changes.

I worked in the field for decades and very little progress has been made mapping genotype to complex organismal phenotypes or appreciating how complex development processes are affected by collections of mutations. This specific research, even if wildly successful, wouldn't really have impact on any significant diseases.
Also there was no need to call bullshit. You're the reason the internet sucks now.
I do something similar for AWS IPs in our iptables firewalls. I create an ipset for "aws", and then create rules that match that ipset. I then have a script that runs periodically and downloads the set of AWS IPs (AWS publishes that) and writes then runs the script that creates the ipset.

Noone is contesting the fact that images where copyright is owned by Getty were used the model.

The contested issue is whether training a model requires permission from the copyright holder, because for most ways of using a copyrighted work - all uses except those where copyright law explicitly asserts that copyright holders have exclusive rights - no permission is needed.
Study finds surgery patients wearing VR headsets needed less anesthetic
From [1], the value of that commercial paper was $24,165,815,363. $23,615,946,340 of it was rated A-2 (Tier-2) or better (A-1/Tier-1 and A-1+/Tier-1+). This is equivalent to BBB or better (A to AAA) rated bonds. The report does not specify the CP issuer.

Tether's consolidated reserves have since changed composition. [2] The most recent report shows (approximate percentages):

- US Treasury Bills (43.45%)

- Commercial Paper and Certificates of Deposit (12.65%)

- Money Market Funds (10.25%)

- Cash & Bank Deposits (8.15%)

- Reverse Repos (4.5%)

- Non US Treasury Bills (0.59%)

- Bonds, Funds, Metals, Other, Loans (20.37%)

So the commercial paper was so far trustworthy enough to allow them to rotate out of much of their CP position and into US Treasury bills.

Good observation. Code is also a Jenga tower of abstractions from High level language (Python) -> Low level language (Assembly) -> CPU microcode. No code is just yet another layer on top. The higher up you go, the more difficult it can be to debug issues, and the more locked in you will be in the infrastructure. I like to stay somewhere in the middle. Not too low such that I am wasting a bunch of time with implementation details, but not too high where I don't understand enough about the technology to fix issues. The industry, as an aggregate, is steadily and relentlessly moving up the abstraction tower.
