Hetzner is nice and cheap and now has two US data centers, but you will need to contact support to get SMTP ports unblocked I believe.

If you had a 4GB/2-CPU Linode for $30, you could get an 8GB/2-CPU from Hetzner for €21.85 (~$23.45). If you were using Linode's shared-CPU nodes, that $20 4GB VPS would be €7.55 on Hetzner (~$8.10) or even €5.35 in their European data centers (~$5.74, their European data centers offer both Intel or AMD processors so you can get a 4GB/2-CPU intel box there, but in the US they're only offering their AMD servers which include 3-CPU so it's a tad more expensive due to fewer options).
In ray-tracing, people debate back and forth between kd-trees, octrees, quad-AABB trees, oct-AABB trees, and I’m sure there are a few more.

I think quad-AABB has been the most popular option for a while now.
> back end with NextJs

Can you actually use NextJS as a back end? It's been a few years since I last worked with it. I recall it ran a server we had to deploy, but that server only did some server side rendering of the frontend.

I can’t tell you why you haven’t heard of Linode much, but yes, the Linode brand absolutely is well known.

When I think Linode, I think developer, small consultancy, etc. When I think Akamai, I think enterprise. Completely different brands.

It just seems like such a bizarre business decision to me for Akamai to throw a strong brand like that away just because they want to slap their name on the product instead.

All in all, I’m pretty sure this will turn out to have been a mistake.
I agree this is an incredibly interesting paper. I am not a practitioner but I interpreted the gradient article differently. They didn’t directly find 64 nodes (activations) that represented the board state as I think you imply. They trained “64 independent two-layer MLP classifiers to classify each of the 64 tiles”. I interpret this to mean all activations are fed into a 2 layer MLP with the goal of predicting a single tile (white, black, empty). Then do that 64 times once for each tile (64 separately trained networks).

As much as I want to be enthusiastic about this, it’s not entirely clear to me that it is surprising that such a feat can be achieved. For example it may be possible to train a 2 layer MLP to predict the state of a tile directly from the inputs. It may be that the most influential activations are closer to the inputs then the outputs, implying that Othello-GPT itself doesn’t have a world model, instead showing that you can predict board colors from the transcript. Again, not a practitioner but once you are indirecting internal state through a 2 layer MLP it gets less obvious to me that the world model is really there. I think it would be more impressive if they were only taking “later” activations (further from the input), and using a linear classifier to ensure the world model isn’t in the tile predictor instead of Othello-GPT. I would appreciate it if somebody could illuminate or set my admittedly naive intuitions straight!

That said, I am reminded of another OpenAI paper [1] from way back in 2017 that blew my mind. Unsupervised “predict the next character” training on 82 million amazon reviews, then use the activations to train a linear classifier to predict sentiment. And it turns out they find a single neuron activation is responsible for the bulk of the sentiment!

It was certainly using MSO when I looked at it, which I think was probably early 2018, but could be up to six months in either direction. I have a vague feeling there was an characteristically-named DLL (fitting in with the “they treat it as a black box never to be changed” narrative I’ve crafted), and it certainly handled MSO conditional comments, had the same incompletenesses in HTML 3.2, and the same wonky DPI handling resolved by the the o:PixelsPerInch pragma. I vaguely recall failing to get VML working.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36194675/windows-10-mail... seems to agree both (a) that it’s MSO, and (b) that it lacks VML support.

https://www.caniemail.com/clients/outlook/#windows-mail is practically the same as https://www.caniemail.com/clients/outlook/#windows (see also https://www.caniemail.com/scoreboard/), and I wouldn’t be surprised if the differences between the two are entirely mistakes.

Outlook for Android, iOS and Mac OS X (now for macOS) have never used MSO.

It could be interesting to look at the headers of your emails (including true MIME headers and <meta http-equiv> tags in an HTML part) that trigger WebView2 rendition. I can imagine something like the old `X-UA-Compatible: IE=edge` way of avoiding compatibility mode and deliberately opting into the most recent rendering engine on IE.
I don’t want the right column or the footer. I only want the main content. The Evernote web clipper used to be pretty good at this but it didn’t work on this article. I tried Pocket and it lost the images for me as well. I just tried saving it to Bear and so far, that looks pretty good.

> The bird flu could mutate and broadly infect humans killing millions

Yes, but when humans are infected it takes a while for the virus to adapt the mutations needed to efficiently spread human to human. This was the case for SARS/MERS/Bird Flu. But in the lab they can insert FCS that are extremely effective at entering human cells and spreading. So if any of these research studies leaks out of the lab there is no way to contain it. Besides we have been conducting this research for decades and it did not help fight or predict this pandemic and in fact these researchers refuse to even share records/data they have collected. So best case scenario, this research is useless, worst case disastrous!
I'm not familiar with node.js, but don't most JavaScript libraries already run in both the browser (including Electron) and node.js?

Is it a matter of significantly different system APIs and standard libraries, and this offers a bridge for applications expecting to run in Node, providing that environment in the JavaScript context of a browser? (Or does it actually run Node in WASM?)

> shitting in the pond they are floating in

Spoken like a manager trying to conserve what remains.

That "shit in the pond" is just fertilizer. Enough senior-ish people from big-ish companies are being let go that there are bound to be some startups forming. And likely bootstrapped startups given how frightened VCs seem.

They know enough to eat the parent companies' lunches. But that's not the real threat. The real threat is that they know what those companies could have done and exactly how except that those companies were too frightened or conservative to do it. Those people can not just eat their parent companies' lunches, but all tomorrows' lunches. Nom nom nom.

All you recently laid off: find one another, band together, turn that spite into progress and kick some ass!

People taking control of their government after years of resistance and protests is not remotely the same as a government giving up control in response to pre-defined written criteria in a legal agreement like the IHR treaty.
The fact that the founders named the company based off a Hawaiian-English dictionary look-up strikes me as pretty bland-corporate, "The company was named after akamai, which means 'clever,' or more colloquially, 'cool' in Hawaiian, which Lewin had discovered in a Hawaiian-English dictionary after the suggestion of a colleague." [0]

From what I've seen living here and hearing Hawaiian Creole English (aka pidgin), nobody uses akamai to refer to something that is cool... Always used in the smart/clever context. But then again, I wouldn't expect the founders to know that if they didn't have knowledge of local Hawaii culture.

Just yesterday I watched an MJD video on YouTube (mostly retro PC and OS videos) and he always mentions being sponsored by Linode. Since I like MJD, I was inclined to like Linode by association. Bummer it's going away.
Re 2: they just deleted all videos where they couldn't 100% verify things, as a "better safe than sorry" kind of strategy. The overwhelming majority of these videos were fine. I'm not saying there wasn't any problem on PornHub, but I feel the scope of it has been rather overstated, and any platform that allows user-generated content suffers from these problems: YouTube, Facebook, even Hacker News.

Re 1 and 3: I hate to be that guy, but I think "citation needed" is an appropriate request for these. Especially for "3", which seems rather strong.

Re 4: This is a little bit like "would you want your daughter to work at Wall-Mart?" Probably you will have higher hopes for your children than to work near-minimum wage all their lives.
The mini is just what I thought of off the top of my head and I know it performs well.

I fixed my post to put the 6 digit I forgot in the Intel mini specs.

You bring up a good point. Some of those little NUC boxes are really low. And a modern Raspberry Pi (if you can find one) is too.

Lots of options.
Your first point is the only one that stands for non-straight porn.

2 and 3 don’t apply to gay porn for obvious reasons.

Point 4 probably has more to do with your proximity to sex workers than anything. I have plenty of friends that make their own amateur porn, to me there’s nothing wrong with it. Also, living in sf, I’ve also met plenty of professional gay performers. They’re just like you and I, but they have a more interesting line of work.

My point is not to say that the effects of porn are all positive, but that your issue with porn might have more to do with the way society treats women and sexuality than it does with porn itself.

When the military conflict in Korea escalated in the late 1940s, the US government agreed to subsidize a large part of the new liner’s cost and operating expenses, with the understanding that it could be requisitioned for military purposes.

The design incorporated the most rigid U.S. Navy standards, including strict compartmentalization to combat flooding, and dual engine rooms to provide power in case one was immobilized. The low and graceful superstructure was built entirely in aluminum, which gave the ship a dead weight of 45,400 long tons, compared to the 77,000 long tons for the similarly sized Cunard Queens.

Thanks for sharing your PoV.

The way I look at parenting is that initially it’s guarding and restrictive, but slowly one lets go in such a way that the child is on a good path in life. So the way I look at it is that it’s a parent’s responsibility to provide some kind of framework. Then different parents may obviously argue what that framework should be…

I second Vultr. They also have more advanced networking features, mainly BGP peering, that are uncommon with larger VPS providers. Their network seems super reliable.
There will probably be a secure 3rd party identity provider that all the sites use eventually. The video sites will only receive a binary yes or no indicating if the user is "authorized."

All of this is beyond sanity though. Porn is not evil. My dad grew up with Hustler, I grew up with The Pirate Bay, and my kids are growing up with 4K Pornhub (after they reached age 12 we disabled the content filters on the home DNS server, also using it as an opportunity to teach how DNS and basic networking functions).

Government (and let's be honest, on this topic it's almost entirely one party in particular) needs to mind its own business. Sex, and things related to sex, are a personal matter. Thinking that I have the right to dictate someone else's personal life in this manner is not something that ever cross my mind, much less thinking it consciousable, much less introducing and voting for it to be the law of the land.
This (the "Logos" translated as "the Word") is just the New Testament cribbing straight out of Hellenistic Judaism (cuz in fact early Xianity was just a Jewish sect). In particular, Philo of Alexandria.

There could be a solution to this by 2035 though.

- "either don't understand the 1st Amendment or just don't care about it"

And, transitively, don't understand or care about their civic duty to uphold and promote those values, as elected leaders. It's not a "no-op" to pass an unconstitutional law that's immediately struck down by courts. It's an erosion of norms. The norm that elected leaders uphold the constitutional order, which constrains their power; and don't seek to break out of it. The norm that the system of freedom we live under is an expensive and valuable thing (and that this is a universally shared value); not something cheap and haggle-able.
I wonder what the interview process must be like. Who made the first move? OpenAI? Or the researchers? And how many rounds are there?

The more important the position, the more relaxed and casual the interview process, in my experience. I wonder at what point in a SWE's career (I am not a SWE) interviews go from "Solve this Leetcode problem to prove you are worthy" to "We would be honored if you would join us."
I think it makes sense for everything Javascript right now, pick a framework like Nest.js and a good ORM like MikroORM and get going.
I'm sure they spent a lot of time thinking about this, but why not just call it something "Linode by Akamai" or "Akamai Linode"? Neither "Akamai’s cloud computing services" or "Akamai Connected Cloud" sound like viable names. Is the goal just to get people to say "I use Akamai"?

I could even see a viable strategy where they rename the existing Linode but create a new Linode, ala Lightsail just to keep the name. They were running sponsorships using the Linode name on various media sites throughout last year, and I think even this year. The whole point of doing sponsorships is brand awareness. This just deletes it.

I still use their cloud whenever I need to run something because I know it's mostly well built, price/performance is almost unrivalled. I'd run my stuff on DO before Azure all the time, and before AWS and GCP for most workloads where the DO feature set is sufficient.

Heh, my homeserver uses about that much (4W) in idle ;) 2 SSDs, 8 GB RAM and a passively cooled J4125, more than enough for what I need (2-person household). It also runs Home Assistant, so I can’t let it go to sleep, anyway.

I have an extra Pi4 with Proxmox Backup Server, that could actually sleep most of the time as it backups only twice a day. But even with German electricity prices, a Pi4 with a single SSD is not exactly expensive. Still, maybe I’ll look into that.
If you're trying things out: Jekyll + Liquid templates rendering YAML are wonderful. Hosted natively on GitHub Pages.

wrapped around the standard 'China bad' rhetoric is quiet confirmation that it was indeed likely accidentally blown off course, as it is indeed, a weather balloon. The entire episode, including the subsequent shooting down of 3 more definitely benign balloons, is an example of media driving policy - the Pentagon very early on established no threat, until sensationalism forced Biden to 'be strong on China'
At least been with Linode for the last 15 years, I'm used to the brand, you change it, I may just leave.

1) The performance envelope minimally relevant given the current state of missile technology.

2) Trillions haven't been spent on the F-35 as others have mentioned. Those numbers are outlays for the total of all R&D + procurement + maintenance for several decades + any specialized equipment needed for maintainence + some other things I can't remember off the top of my head

3) You're years behind the military on this. One of the ideas behind the F-35 is to be able to start integrating unmanned vehicles commanded by the F-35, and be a stepping stone for developing full manned-unmanned teaming for generation 6 fighters.
> Often it's because they have one Product Manager for Web, one for iOS, one for Android etc.

However, there's no atmosphere or weather to worry about on the moon, so I'd expect that to improve efficiency quite a bit compared to the Earth.

Well, that's it for me. I've been nervous since the acquisition, but that post has all the telltale signs of imminent brand doom. I've had a few small services running on Linode for years I'll be pulling the plug on/moving to other providers.
Elon Musk founded Zip2, which sold for 300 Million. Then he bought his way into a nothing company that nobody had ever heard of, turned it into a 100 Billion dollar company and made EVs sexy while doing it. He's technically a founder of Tesla, but founder status hardly matters. Then founded SpaceX and revolutionized an industry that had been stagnant for 50 years. Another 100 Billion dollar company. Then founded The Boring Company, which has a billion dollar valuation.

"But he got fired once" is hilarious.
