It is a reasonable business decision if we think of it as combining the enterprise branding of Akamai and the solid product behind Linode.

Instead of throwing away the brand, I just wish they retained the Linode name as a sub brand targeted at developers something like OVH and kimsufi (if that even makes sense).

To get an idea of what their intentions and goals behind this move are, we'll have to wait and see how the existing Linode customers will be treated w.r.t the product pricing & direction.
I'm not sure these are good examples.

Casual photographers don't baby their cameras. They simply don't know the abuse tolerance their camera has as well as professionals that use them every day. It's perfectly reasonable to be careful with expensive tools that you aren't used to.

Aren't manuscripts / books usually dated? I'm reading the current-day years-based-on-the-birth-of-jesus only came in full swing around 700, which would be around the time these manuscripts were made. But there will have been other ways to indicate when it was written / what year it was.
If you want to push energy efficiency the Raspberry 2 (old ARM v7 version) is the best device at 1W idle / 2W full load, it saturates the SD card. One step up is Raspberry 4 for heavier workloads/networking at 3W idle / 6W full load, and after that 8-core Atom at 15W idle / 25W full load.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, 100Mb/s, vs 1Gb/s vs 10Gb/s makes a lot of difference. IMO 1Gb/s is the only reasonable speed for home hosting as to saturate 10Gb/s you would need at least 20x (50Ah) lead-acid batteries of backup and that is almost industrial levels of investment/maintenance.

The final constraint is that disks and RAM uses more energy than you would think, 256GB DDR5 uses 80W! And they wear faster than you would think too at these nm! Be careful with writes!

So you need to plan your structure with the proper redundancy without going to far above the previously mentioned 1Gb/s saturation for your particular applications.
The big problem these days is age. My neighhbors seem fine but are in different stages in life. I more or less inherited this house but it's a house built for families to be raised. So all my neighbors are 40's+ taking care of at best very young teenage kids, and I'm a 20's tech dude. Not much clicks.

It's hard to develop an accurate mental model of complete software/hardware technology stacks. Developers work with a lot of black box software offerings and begin to think of every component as just some software implementation they need to interface with.

If half the workforce is in the office and the other half is remote, remote is going to suffer in their career progression. Not because that is "right", but simply because we are all "humans" who place a higher value on in-person interaction and physical proximity.

As a specific example of tyranny of remote workers, I have worked at a company which had the idiotic rule of everyone dialing in from their own laptops even if many of us were in office and some of us were remote. Just to ensure that remote workers are on a level playing field. Needless to say, that policy never worked in practice.

The idea of WOPR is based on the real Soviet system of the early 80s, ВРЯН (вероятность ракетно-ядерного нападения, “the probability of ICBM attack”). It attempted to predict the favorable conditions for a first strike from the US side, giving a signal to the Soviet nuclear planners.

Apparently it didn’t work well, and was decommissioned soon after its activation.

but Android is just based on Linux, so in theory you could tweak a regular Linux server on ARM hardware to get good energy efficiency. The downside of Android is its reliance on Java, which adds a lot of overhead compared to bare-metal languages (I strongly believe - but have no sources or figures to back this up - this is why Apple phones have been faster and more energy efficient, especially in the earlier days (think iphone 4 and co)

Still won't inhibit suspend when I'm streaming video via UPnP, from what I can tell. Too bad. Not that I'm complaining.

Does stuff like this just work with arbitrary third party apps in other operating systems? Ideally, I'd want a control panel with a list of applications that attempt to inhibit suspend, a possibility to override that intent, and perhaps a default policy for new applications.
CDNs are mostly about having large numbers of servers in convinent locations not software. The software is the easy part.

Trying to change productivity at Salesforce is rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. The truth of the situation is their core product (Basically a layer which allows you to map your business problems onto a relational database + workflow thing) is losing some relevance because the world of tech has moved on, relational databases are not the hotness they were back in the 80s and 90s, people have realised you can model a lot of problems very simply using things like k/v stores etc and they’ve reached a certain level of saturation in their existing customer base. There’s only so many people that need to have the data entry/workflow screens or the reports they generate out of the system, and only so many big enterprises that are going to pay the kind of software license fees that will keep a tech behemoth like that running.

Secondly, their business model has attempted to diversify from just being about sales but fundamentally they are long the economy in general. If the economy is struggling, the appetite for “sales enablement” and collaboration-type tooling is going to wither. Some of the products they acquired (Tableau, Slack in particular) are pretty cool but came at a hefty price tag that is going to be tough to recoup as the environment generally gets tougher and their competition (free and paid) increases.

I don’t think either engineering or sales productivity is going to solve this and if there’s some magic there I’m pretty skeptical that BCG would find it.

I was using a standalone niche host in the Uk called TSOHost who seemed quite good.

They recently announced they were shutting down their cloud hosting and gave just 45 days notice to move sites.

Funny part was that the way they gave their customers notice was flawed and most customers didn’t receive any email from them.

I wish a sense of deflation was the only issue I’d had!
>but are we losing some fundamental part of teamwork by leaving the office?

In some ways yes. It is much harder to brainstorm through conference calls for example.

>And does it really just make us more expendable?

technically yes. It's very easy to be "forgotten" in a remote setting if your job is isolated out. They won't even have a face to place on someone when it comes to re-orgs.
Something's not right.

I own both a passively cooled 2016 Mini PC OLOEY Intel Core i7-7500U (as a home media center) and a 2023 Minisforum UM690 (for work and it's amazing btw), and they both use about 7 watts when idling (screen off).

How op is using 43 watts for an idling media center is just beyond me, he must be using a 1978 Intel 8086, right?

Anyhow, 4 watts is still far better than 7 watts and this is a great achievement, but those 43 watts are really sketchy imho.

That seems like a fairly bad faith reading of the interview comments. In SC2K you only have so many pixels per building. Even the newer sim cities are not proportional, it's not like looking at a satellite map.
Things like "vOIce" would require a lot of training on your side, to adapt your nervous system to the (pretty random) simuli coming in from the artificial perception system. I never met anyone who really achieved anything with that sort of tool. Echolocation is already useful enough, trying to suplement this with current technology is pretty much hopeless, and a bit of hybris.

To bring it back to the CEO question.

This is because they have a "caretaker CEO".

Google wa sitting on a massive cash cow, so they appointed someone who would just keep it ticking over.

In the face of an existential threat, like ChatGPT, they need someone who can actually drive innovation. Not innovate themselves, nobody expects a CEO to do that, just create a culture which has a hope in hell of rising to fend off challenges to the empire.

They don't have this.

That have a CEO who is only capable in "good times" ... along with most of the company.

Faced with sufficient adversity, they will need a CEO who can succeed in the face of adversity.
> You could finally rely on client-side processing to deal poker hands and process game states without a central server, for example.

Interesting. I had given up on that idea. Not just for poker, but MMOs n stuff. Figured anything of importance had to run server-side.
This exists for big refrigerated warehouses. By using an appropriate liquid with the phase change tuned for the working temperature you can shift the electricity usage to times with lower cost. That can be because you have your own generation or are just buying market rates that vary.

Eh, as you mention limoncello is a liqueur while all the others you mentioned are brandies. Italy has it's own variety of brandies though. Grappa probably being the major one.
Sorry you had a bad experience, but London is an incredible city. Even now. It’s what you make it.
Yea that's pretty painful. I recently had to shutdown a service for my startup but I left the infrastructure running. People will gradually transition out and the traffic will go to zero. Not everyone can afford that luxury. I just made it explicitly clear there's no ongoing maintenance or support.
It costs a lot more than that. Airline tickets are routinely 500-700$ (eg. SF-NY or SF-Miami). Then you need a couple of nights of hotels on top. Add 2-3 meals per day. And suddenly you are looking at 1000-1500$ per person. For a team of 40-50, that's ~50K budget for 1 day of productive work.

Now compare that to an office lease where you can get. At an avg density of 200 sqft/person[1], you'd need 10,000 sqft. You can get that for ~500K$/yr[2]. You use that for 10 times in a given year and you are breaking even.

Oh wow, it was my first ever paid host back a few years ago. How come they've shut that down, what's their new business model now?
In the long run, possibly.

In the medium run (first 2-5 years) it’s not cheaper.

In the short run? Buying Linode gave them a foothold in the market. Creating it from scratch, would have taken months (or even years) to be able to make the first offer, and years until they built a reputation that would attract customers.
I've been with DigitalOcean for a very long time, their prices seem comparable to Linode, I always saw them marketed more or less the same.

In fact, I don't even know why one would pick Linode over DigitalOcean or vice versa

You can imagine that the embedding for the token “boat” includes wood, steel, water and so forth in some set of probabilistic paths as learnt by autorgressive training since the words appear together in the past N tokens. So they are directly in frame. A question is how to connect out of frame elements and are overlapping tokens sufficient to do “that”. Specifically is the token “that” sufficiently trained to reveal what it refers to? I think this depends on the fine tuning q/a task which adds in a layer of alignment rather than being an emergent property of the LLM in general.

Still alignment tasks are autoregressive (I think)… they could be masked or masked part of speech potentially.. but if autoregressive then I suspect you’re looking at regularities in positioning to identify things.

Missing the elephant in the living room: The money keeps losing its value, and manufacturers have no choice to keep reducing quality because consumers would rather buy a slightly worse product at the same price rather than the same product at a higher price.

And the reason the money loses its value is because the Federal Reserve exists.

RollerCoaster Tycoon does the same, guests wander aimlessly around park and interact with whatever they come across while considering their needs.

The Sims displays the other end of this spectrum, where agents path deliberately (while still considering their needs), and the difference in simulation scale is immense.

Simple fact is, pathfinding is a performance bottleneck that hasn't been solved yet. We are still using algorithms from the 1960s, and no hardware acceleration exists.

SimCity has always been more of a spreadsheet with houses on top.

Yup. Pension is dead and no company on the high up business ends sees the value in labor, even if the people who "survive" the layoffs feel the most heat. They'd rather have a revolving door of new people they give inflation raises to than offer to keep valuable talent and in-knowledge.

Hey @trynewideas! I already tried the i195.enable_psr=0 kernel boot parameter a month ago but it didn't prevent the freezes. Thanks to your input with the i915_edp_psr_status I now found out that the parameter doesn't have any effect on my system. It just doesn't disable PSR. So I tried to regenerate initramfs with dracut, but still got no effect. I then tried to disable PSR via debugfs as root, but for some reason, I can't write to the file:

[root@fwk ~]# ls -alF /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/i915_edp_psr_debug
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Feb 15 09:09 /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/i915_edp_psr_debug

[root@fwk ~]# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/i915_edp_psr_debug
-bash: /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/i915_edp_psr_debug: Operation not permitted

I'm not sure why I'm unable to write. Do you have to mount debugfs differently to do writes or something like that?

EDIT: debugfs is mounted rw and I tried to disable SELinux temporarily with setenforce 0 but I still can't write.

[root@fwk ~]# mount | grep debugfs
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel)

[root@fwk ~]# setenforce 0
[root@fwk ~]# sestatus | grep Current
Current mode: permissive
[root@fwk ~]# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/i915_edp_psr_debug

Every Country in Europe has its own boze.

In the Balkans is called Rakja. It's popular in all the Balkan peninsula and in eastern Europe (Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Poland, etc. ) under different names

In Italy there are similar fruit spirits (or fruit brandy) but the most popular one is Grappa, which is distilled pomace.

Greece has their own, Outzo (made with grapes, which also contains anice), Raki and Tsipouro (pomace).

In France the equivalent of Italian Grappa is called Marc, in Spain they have the Orujo.

There are also a lot of spirits that were made in the past in Benedictine monasteries.

They're all made in the same way and part of the large fruit brandy family, which is very popular across continental Europe.
