> And now it seems impossible to buy any Pi of any kind.

I almost got a Pi Zero 2 W for 15€ in January, they had 2500, one per customer limit, but the site was heavily overloaded. So I went to bed at around 20:00 with most still available (2100 or so). Woke up at 4 and they were sold out. That was so far the closest I came to one (obviously I’m not buying the available ones for 100€).
Yeah, with your standard web-app making 50+ calls to fetch JSON from your backend. This will play out nicely.
Furthermore, turning this into essentially a contract law issue allows for enforcement by the broader community (depending on how the contract is worded, and with whom it formally is, of course), rather than waiting for prosecutors that may not care much about making an example of some Uzbek TV station (IANAL).
OK, be that as it may, in IT stuff, the question often becomes "Who is responsible?". If a state or its institutions violate the law, at least no one can blame you for GDPR violations, which you did not commit.
We're already drowning in human generated garbage on the web. Sure, AI makes it worse, but we can't blame anything but our human compatriots and ourselves.
The same for me, I have a Pi3 and a Pi4, bought both without an issue.
Agree. Though, when you see words like "abstract obscurantist nonsense", you know those kind of folks like it straight and wouldn't want it any other way.

That said, in the second-half of that comment (which might come off as argumentum ad hominem), I was speaking in generalities, and not about one particular person.
It is fraud
So they stepped on the Google Ads team's toes.
I've been playing with Pi's for quite some time now (I used to even run a Pi Jam in my city!) and prior to the pandemic, I never had trouble getting my hands on a Pi here in mainland Europe. When the ZeroW2 was released I was able to grab one on the day of release without issue. The Pico and PicoW have been such a breeze to get that I throw one in with every order when ordering other components for projects.

I saw a discussion (I think on Mastodon). Apparently they believe the supply issues should return to a much closer level of normality in the next couple of months. As they ramp up again they have been prioritising supply for companies who need the hardware to stay alive (i.e. not making layoffs) over retail sales.

Personally, I think that sounds like they're doing the right thing since most "normal" people don't urgently need a Pi.
I think the point is that youtube will not provide tools for video authors to label their youtube hosted videos as CC if there is any non-CC portion of the video. Which seems at least somewhat reasonable, given the unreasonableness that is copyright.
> ChatGPT is like having a bunch of 8 year olds who know how to use Google hanging around.

It astonishes me that people can dismiss ChatGPT like this. By your own account, there now exists an AI that can convincingly imitate a literate, technically fluent human child. That's an incredible advance that's far beyond anything that existed even a couple of years ago. How is it not amazing?

I get the sense that if some of the commenters here had been around to witness the Wright Brothers' first flight they'd have been like "meh, that's not impressive, the only people whose mind it will blow are people who've never been in a hot air balloon."
Btw, the company making the ring binders is called "Leitz".

The rest is entirely correct, though.
Often when people say "Canvas" they mean "CanvasRenderingContext2D", which still lets the browser do all the text rendering. With WebGL you need to do all that yourself.

What specifically is unclear?

Wikipedia said they would enable users at to be able to quickly tell what the confidence was in the facts being presented and to my knowledge never did. My understanding is that even now that linked sources are not even systematically checked to confirm they even relate to the related passage of text.
And where is that "étude clinique"? No link? :/

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs.
The GDPR largely came about as a response to the Snowden revelations of pervasive surveillance of netizens globally, and it says you need to protect PI from non-EU state actors. So you're possibly right as far as EU state adversaries go but you for defending against foreign state actors it's different.
As you chose to ignore my advice I'll expand on it for you so that you can avoid a straw man - intentional or not - with your next reply, because the one you just gave is embarrassing:

- Read some of what advocates of freedom of speech have written. If you're able to find someone advocating the freedom to lie to whomever one choses or about whomever one wants without restriction, you've hit the jackpot. Bring back a flying pig while you're at it.

- English common law (and hence American) already includes some types of lie as protected speech(see [1] for a primer and [2] for more examples from America).

Hence, both the idealists and the pragmatists are well ahead of you here.

Finally, this:

> Like the media or police for example?

Why should there be a law against lying to the media? That made me chuckle. Or did you mean by the media? Also a laughable notion. Shackling the press for the common good is almost a cliché in a dictator's playbook.

As to the police, why lie to the police when you shouldn't talk to them at all?[3] You have a right to silence (or did, in the UK) since hundreds of years back (which is itself another aspect of free speech). That video also covers how the police are legally permitted to lie to suspects and routinely do, so whichever question you intended based on brazenly displayed ignorance of the subject at hand, it's been covered.

Please do a managed Kubernetes next. I couldn't convince any of our customers to switch to Hetzner because they'd need to do "everything themselves". A managed Kubernetes instance would instantly make Hetzner an alternative for at least 75% of our customers. And honestly it's quite a cheap way to earn a bonus on your server instances.

Edit: And if you do manged Kubernetes and managed Kafka Instances the number would go up to like 95%. Oh and those Videos with der8auer? Really awesome to see, do Linus Tech Tipps or Level1Techs next!
And now, examples of this kind of "reasoning" are ending up scattered around the internet, where they'll likely get picked up as additional training material to "improve" the system... this could spiral downhill in some interesting ways.
I found that ChatGPT was trained on private Google Drive data. I prompted it to help me create a murder mystery and became suspicious from its answers. I then copied a short setting description from one of my mysteries which I stored on Google Drive and asked it to generate smaller storylines. It described the storylines I had written exactly.
Depends on the landfill, I guess? I would imagine that most modern landfills are lined with heavy duty plastic sheets to prevent all the toxic crap from leaching into the groundwater. What happens to that stuff? I guess some of it will biodegrade over a long period of time, and I'm sure all kinds of animals will attempt to feed on it, but the vast majority of the bulk is no longer part of the ecosystem. For better or for worse.

In my part of the world we incinerate most of our waste and turn some of the waste heat into electricity. I wonder what happens to the organic matter in that scenario. Most of it probably ends up as toxic ash which is pretty useless?
I worry what this means for Taiwan. Once the US has its own capacity for chipmaking, does that mean that an invasion of Taiwan will be ignored?
While the current speed of the AI research makes me quite uneasy, I cannot really dismiss what we are seeing as:

>What we are witnessing is thus not "artificial creativity" but a simple "statistical mean of everything uploaded by humans on the internet which fits certain criteria".

at least not more than I would my own brain.

I don however fully expect a strong luddite-like backlash happening when this is going to be deployed to more and more places. (Which is not to say that everyone opposed to it is a luddite, but there is a very strong impulse, I have it to, to see this technology as a threat).
From what quotes i've seen posted about this ChatGPT it's a more readable version of the manually done SEO spam pages.

I might have to check that paid search engine...
People collectively being unimpressed has never been and will continue to never be a yardstick. It’s good enough that no self respecting teacher would give an essay question as homework. It’s good enough to answer at least most factual questions you ask google. Turing would consider this to be an AI. Whether some jaded mediocre tech guru calls it an AI or not doesn’t matter that much in the big scheme of things.
I used to do it by using an Awair device, I could feed it into HomeKit which is why I choose it in the first place. Then some weird crypto thing (planetwatch.io) happend which made them really expensive and I sold it for a lot more than I bought it.

Since then, I don't monitor any more and I don't miss it as I'm always airing the room multiple times per day anyway and I didn't really get something out of it except some pretty graphs.
The worst part is by far Windows Update. As a regular Debian and Arch user, where updates take seconds to install, running Windows Update is like watching paint dry.
We borrowed a sensor for a few weeks and measured different rooms. The readings are especially high when we invite people. (We cook electric , and I think the stove has little to do with high CO2 in a living space.)

The conclusion is that we need to ventilate more. Especially in the bedroom. Sometimes it’s hard to find a good balance between ventilation and heating.
The people I hire through Upwork don't deliver code raw through a chat... They deliver working solutions, of which code is one part.

If they want to build the solution with ChatGPT, then all the more power to them! I doubt they will get 100% profit margin, since they will have to parse my requirements and deliver a working system with multiple parts, which is a lot of the work nowadays.

On a tangential point, if ChatGPT and other AI-assisted methods really deliver, it will likely be more beneficial for many consultants and agencies to do fixed or value pricing rather than hourly, and most value will be concentrated around business analysis / architecture / design stuff. I personally this is a good thing; in my personal experience I've found the best margins doing that stuff rather than pure implementation.
I'm wondering how long before some psychologists looking for something to write about measure the "IQ" of ChatGPT and release a paper on it.
> Support call centers will be decimated to bot chats.

Call centres were already heavily scripted even before speech recognition allowed human workers to be replaced with voice interfaces.

And that’s ignoring whatever this is called: “Welcome to your $phone_company account. Press one to hear your messages, press two to hear your credit or top up, press three for…”
Easy Plastic Reconstruction and Repair
These are not random things.

When the creators of this tool present it as the frontier of machine intelligence, and when its persona revolves around being intelligent, authoritative, and knowledgeable, and yet it gets some basic, not random, stuff awfully wrong, you can't really discount the skeptic sentiments expressed in the comments here like this.
Or a play where a non-racist argues with the people around him and eventually realizes his mistakes and changes his mind.
That could also be correct.

But if I was under legal/contractual obligations, with Hetzner as my hosting provider, I would have their legal department confirm this.

Since Hetzner found the need for appending the paragraph I referenced, they must have become aware of something.
I am in the same position as you to be honest. I am in my 30s so I would love to become an IC again and then at around 40 decide if I want to keep doing that. My problem is pulling the trigger and actually doing it. Things are fine as they are even though my passion is for writing and debugging code. I am also very scared of technical interviews. I'm a great engineer and teammate but I would absolutely fail any leetcode interview.

My hardware reliability case:

- the network card of my first Pi (some 2 model) failed

- a PI Zero completely died years ago

- a PI Zero 2 W doesn't boot anymore but it apparently powers on

- a number of SD cards failed after months of use, but that's to be expected. I turn off swap and don't write log files much [1]

I'm left with a couple of PI 3 but I don't have a use case for them anymore and frankly the unavailability of the product doesn't make me feel like investing on it. It's becoming a kind of retrocomputing.

I switched to Odroid HC4 to build a NAS with it's two SATA slots. I can recycle a ton of disks I put in a drawer along the years. It's about 4 W with the disks off, plus whatever a disk consumes: 2 W for a 2.5 1 TB HDD and 9 W for an older 750 GB 3.5 HDD. I have other disks to test.

Edit: actually I'm using a PI 3 with a TV Hat to stream free to air TV to my phones and tablets around the home. I'm never sitting in front of the TV set.
I don't agree that the precautionary principle needs to be qualified, or at least not constrained to a single axis - we want to exercise precaution about any changes (or any resistance to change) - with effectively a 'do no harm' focus.

Human suffering ... I don't know how you're measuring this, or projecting it from current state, but 2/3 of the planet are going to be in unimaginably dire straits once regular rainfall patterns change.

I think when we started burning coal in anger, say late 1600's, early 1700's - literally no one contemplated the potential for planet-scale effects, so I don't think that application of the PP applies. I think we're still pretty dumb and full of hubris, but we can contemplate these potential outcomes, and we know of many unintended outcome scenarios, so the PP is much more compelling now.

Charlie's not trying to solve climate change - just drawing attention to why it's not being addressed. Petrochemical exporters are rarely countries, but rather the oligarchs that own the materials. Here in AU we have a tiny handful, f.e. and I expect a similar situation elsewhere - so while the current political administration is nominally democratic, that's effectively irrelevant.

EDIT oh, regarding (3) that you responded to - I'd point out the myriad stats around fossil fuel vs renewables 'jobs', especially graphed over the past decade, and especially in the USA. I think we're now at a time where anyone claiming renewables aren't a better economic option for a society are the ones that need to provide citations.
People really love to make predictions about technologies way too early. It’s been a year or two, tops, since this stuff has gone mainstream. I very much doubt that the consumer ecosystem will remain the same while content undergoes an AI-powered paradigm shift. We will most likely see a growth of curated sites that help weed out the nonsense, as has been typical for most new developments.

And on that note, I think the framing here is just wrong from the start. These new tools are awesome if you’re a creator. Complaining about the consumer-facing side of this new tech is a bit like complaining that cheaper video cameras will lead to junk films everywhere. Yeah, that happened, but who cares? It also allowed creative people to make stuff without needing a huge budget.
Architecture Weekly: Release 28th November 2022
Since everyone is all of a sudden voting for managed databases, maybe there is a reason why Hetzner is so cheap and the reason is that they focus on the core and not on satisfying all kinds of feature requests?
Really wish they said what a CBDC is.
> India and SEA are where a good majority of these BBK phones are sold.

Those BBK phones have a huge presence in China, you can pretty much find their shops in every mall and every major street. I'd be surprised if the majority are sold outside of China. They are in general shitty phones trying to rip off people who are not into tech, I mean you can easily get like 1-2 generation older hardware when compared with Xiaomi while paying the same prices. back in around 2015, they were called "factory girl's phone", meaning their target group is those young females working as labors in factories. They normally don't care what is the spec of the new phone, they just want the phone with the most popular selfie features their friends have, that created a lot of profit room for phone makers and BBK took that market.
That’s technically very correct? It didn’t assume it’ll become a black hole or even a neutron star, but still made predictions quite accurately.
It's even more astonishing (depressing?) to me how little credit people give humans these days. If the consensus is that ChatGPT pretty much passes for a human, my definition of a human is very different from that of the consensus. At the very least I'd like my humans to exhibit even minimal capacity for emotional expression as well as consistency and honesty.

I can't even believe I'm even spelling this out. What is the point of associating anything even remotely human with a chatbot like ChatGPT? I really don't get it. What benefit do we get from this? If anything is confuses us in ways that makes it more difficult to understand and argue about AI specifically, and technology generally.

ChatGPT is being grossly misinterpreted, and it's a shame, really, because it's such a cool piece of software.
I love the service but it has a fatal flaw (by design): no ability to synchronise my photos to my computer. Given the horror stories of Google accounts being locked for any and no reason at all, with no recourse, I've become extremely distrustful of cloud storage. I use it only with regular or synchronised backup. Google used to offer the ability to synchronise pictures to one's PC, but they removed that functionality. Presumably because more friction in this area keeps customers stickier. They're less likely to leave.

The only option is a full download of all pictures, and they do their damnedest to ensure it's uncomfortable. Albums aren't properly labelled and linked. Labels are a mess. Picture naming is broken. Exif data randomly stripped or altered. Duplicates galore. This process ensures that, even if one is diligent and ensures they regularly download the entire database, they'll end up with a completely unmanageable picture library with dozens of duplicates. And most people aren't that studious.
Why would Google share data with a direct competitor to help them train their model?
Running an Awair in the kitchen while cooking is enlightening. I run the stove vent fan to mitigate.

There is no good solution for substantially mitigating CO2 in a living space other than ventilation. I also have an AlgenAir, and I love the business, but it can't on its own consume enough CO2 to compete with human production in a closed area. 100 devices- 2000+ plants equivalent- is what the CO2 absorption math says would be needed.
No obstacles to do the math yourself!
Not CO2 specifically, but I bought a fancy detector and air purifier that removes particulate pollution from my living space.
Yeah, most likely. There's a lot of tools that come with Linux that's missing
With regards to water usage:

>But that meant a fairly severe (but simple) change in behavior, like shutting off the water while lathering up in the shower or brushing teeth.

I am legitimately surprised that people leave water running during the 2+ minutes when brushing their teeth.
Or it would, if the Pi 4 didn't have a street price of 100+ even for the 2GB model.

We're getting to the point where buying a barebone x86 system on Aliexpress is cheaper than some of these ARM development boards, definitely not something I saw coming.
> Also, China’s incarceration rates don’t count people who have been welded into their apartments under the zero-COVID policy

Do you know any Country that counts that?

For example, does the US count the penal labor as labor camps?

Potato potato.
In every US state there are small claims courts for precisely these issues.

Not that this necessarily helps this particular family which is in Canada. But that’s the way to deal with this kind of thing. The article appears to say that Amazon simply shrugged.

It is touching that the father says that they have been loyal customers. Like most big companies, Amazon doesn’t care about that, with their customers nor employees.

> The new location at Hillsboro will host Hetzner Cloud servers mounted with AMD processors

A kind of interesting statement, given that Intel has a large presence in Hillsboro (>15K employees IIRC). Not that this would matter to Hetzner, but still curious.
What's HGV?
Not only it gives you the answer directly, but it also codes for you!
My point is cherry picking flaws won’t help improve anything for ChatGPT, Wikipedia, etc — but systematic approaches to discovering and modeling information space and related fact, queries, etc would. Wikipedia not free of issues and to my knowledge does not allow end user to see Wikipedia’s confidence in a given fact, if they have one at all.
Adding to the misread titles, I thought it would predict if you get laid based on your photos and got a bit sad haha.
Hetzner's performance is arguably better (Epyc 2nd gen on Hetzner vs Epyc 1st gen on Scaleway), but their support for IPv6 is certainly much better: Scaleway doesn't offer PTR record and changes the IPv6 assigned to you when they relocate your VPS in the datacenter.
I want to be in this thread when it becomes the new infamous Dropbox thread
Have been using Hetzner for the last three years for some medium-traffic (but growing) SaaS offerings, has been a fantastic experience and the pricing is very competitive. They offer only a small feature set but it's good enough for us. Looking forward to spawning some servers in the US region to reduce latency.

Only thing that's missing are BGP sessions, would make it easier to build anycast networks with them. You can get it if you buy rackspace but I really don't want to manage my own servers anymore.

Another thing that's missing is geo-redundant load balancing, i.e. the ability to spin up a single logical load balancer in multiple regions and dynamically route client traffic to the nearest DC via BGP. Currently LB targets need to be in the same DC, which is kind of weird. You can use DNS load balancing but given the larger footprint they should really invest in a proper anycast setup, I think.
