From the post:

Companies are looking at other, more cost-effective options, including managed service providers and co-location providers (colos), or even moving those systems to the old server room down the hall. This last group is returning to “owned platforms” largely for two reasons.

First, the cost of traditional compute and storage equipment has fallen a great deal in the past five years or so. If you’ve never used anything but cloud-based systems, let me explain. We used to go into rooms called datacenters where we could physically touch our computing equipment — equipment that we had to purchase outright before we could use it. I’m only half kidding.

When it comes down to renting versus buying, many are finding that traditional approaches, including the burden of maintaining your own hardware and software, are actually much cheaper than the ever-increasing cloud bills.

Second, many are experiencing some latency with cloud. The slowdowns happen because most enterprises consume cloud-based systems over the open internet, and the multi-tenancy model means that you’re sharing processors and storage systems with many others at the same time. Occasional latency can translate into many thousands of dollars of lost revenue a year, depending on what you’re doing with your specific cloud-based AI/ML system in the cloud.
> So the bombing of Donbas, Alley of angels, countless reports of Ukraine violating Minsk agreements, Ukrainian and European officials admitting Minsk agreements were a lie, cutting of civilian infrastructure, tortures, kidnappings, people loosing whole livelihoods for dreadful 8 years is lie.

It is. Nazis had a long list of manufactured complaints against Poland too to justify invasion, doesn't require much effort to make up stuff like this.

It's not, but that's a level of passive income that most Americans can not achieve. I suspect it's also structurally impossible for everyone to get there, but yes some individuals can do it.
Yes, theirs is a custom fork. Only commented about flashing to vanilla OpenWRT in relation to your comment about being spying concerns (and since some, including myself, aren't that comfortable with their remote cloud service built into it).

While bisect is indeed slicing into two (mostly) equal parts, bifurcation is creating two branches, and in my mind, with the intent of following up on both (at least initially). So what's done here is bifurcation with pruning, and I think bisect would be a more appropriate term -- certainly the attempt should be made to divide the problem space into equal parts.
I mean, nothing I said is exaggerated here. ARM doesn't even have a viable server core that can compete with x86 even as vaporware. SoftBank ruins everything they touch, and is super focused at the moment on stealing from Peter to pay Paul to get something out of the upcoming ARM IPO since their attempt to sell it off to Nvidia fell through. The rumor is they've been cutting R&D funding hard to get temporarily boost profitability. If anything this is more a dig at how vulture capitalism ruins productive companies.

As an aside, ARM has always been a hybrid CISC/RISC core. It has nothing to do with the number of instructions, but the fact that not having an I$ on the ARM1 forced it to have microcoded instructions to mainly to support LDM/STM. That's not a dig at ARM. It's a valid design; particularly at that gate count.
One big reason that demand is low is that the current generation of GPUs are way too expensive, with top-end GPUs about twice what they used to cost a few years ago, very poor improvements in performance-per-$, and anythign below the top end offering even more dubious value for money especially on the AMD side. Originally those high prices were a result of high demand compared to supply, but the companies seem to have gotten greedy and decided they can permanently keep prices high and just throttle back supply to keep them there.
Take a look at https://rust-lang.github.io/wg-async/vision.html for the shiny things that are planned in future versions of Rust. This will most likely require brand-new frameworks and create a whole lot of pointless churn for pre-existing code.
If there is a place for an AMD GPU there is more than a place for an NVIDIA one.

NVIDIA is seeing a future where there is no place for either.

This is also likely why it wanted to buy ARM it sees a future within 5-8 years where dGPUs might no longer be relevant if we do get high speed always on internet via sats, 5G++, Wifi 56 or w/e is coming down the pipe.
AMD has 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes directly from the CPU available for user, while Intel has 16 5.0 + 4 4.0. Cheaper motherboards might not expose all of those, or downgrade some to 4.0 to save on on-board components. In addition, both have more on the chipset, which is connected to (additional, reserved) PCIe 4.0 lanes. The best AMD chipsets have 12 4.0 and 8 3.0 lanes, while the best Intel ones have 20 4.0 and 8 3.0 lanes. An important point is that the connection between the chipset and CPU is twice as wide on intel (8x vs 4x).

So overall, AMD has more and faster IO available directly from the CPU, but less lanes from the chipset, and with a weaker connection to the chipset. If PCIe 5.0 drives become available and the transfer speed to storage is important, I'd say AMD is better, otherwise I'd say Intel has more IO.
My take:

1) You have an undergrad degree. The point of the degree is not to teach you knowledge one shot. It teaches you how to learn and problem solve. Your post has a tone of desperation. You need to realize what amazing qualities you bring to any kind of employment situation. Just this alone will make you successful.

2) In your situation, just don't even bother with Leetcode problems. If an employer flunks you for it, so be it. Thank them for the interview practice.

3) You need to apply consistently for jobs. They do not need to be fashionable. Make a website for your local tiny business. Heck .. go to your favorite tiny restaurant that doesn't have a site and ask to make it to them .. pro bono. If you did that for 1 month on your own terms, you will get a resume going.

4) I appreciate the comments posted by people suggesting OSS projects. I think that is too much for you and too long of a path. I recommend making portfolio pages or apps. Remember how you did it in undergrad getting that first job?

5) Stick to boring, mass market tech. Python and Java are great for employment. I would not recommend time with Niche languages unless you want to shoot for the stars right away. Do brushup on git.

6) Don't stress out and don't work crazy hours on anything. Start with 2-4 hours, and build up to 8.

The main cause of jitter are of course external interrupts, bad hardware or drivers.
The main task of the OS is to provide drivers which do not block too long. Internal kernel book-keeping tasks of course also, but the main point of OS tasks are driver requests, interrupting system tasks.

Calling it noise is just strange. Noise is usually the rand() source.

Well agile is rooted in anarchism's self-organization. It is meant to evolve in a collaborative shell. I think the main factor of trouble is that we want to implement Agile principles in competitive driven companies. They are not looking for customer's satisfaction, they are looking for customer's money.
This is complete wrong.

A model is a binary artifact that can be versioned like any other binary asset.

I'm not sure I see the point here. You improve the process because you're subject to it, and because the current process has some downsides to you.

If you're trying to improve a process just for the recognition, then you're by definition not subject to it, so you're playing the role of a manager. And you excluded that yourself in your first sentence.

One of my Indian coworkers mentioned once in passing that he could cover his living costs for the year using 2 months' salary (we work for a US company, yearly salary is below 6 figures).

He implied that he could stop working and live comfortably for 20+ years using what he had saved in the past 5 years. Is your situation special, or are your monthly expenses that much higher?

I don't understand the (for want of a better name) anti-vaxxer logic here.

If masks don't work, then future lockdowns will be stricter. If things work a little, but most people ignore the advice, then future lockdowns will be stricter.

They seem to be claiming some kind of moral victory, that they knew that masks weren't going to be effective, while at the same time refusing to wear them in a self fulfilling prophecy but I don't recall that ever being the core argument.

I also don't understand the lead author of the study's position. He seems really annoyed, but I'm not sure what by. What specifically did he think should have been done differently? People on twitter shouldn't have said masks work as a broad population intervention because there wasn't sufficient evidence of that? That doesn't seem worth being that angry about.

Is he doing the bioscience equivalent of people who get angry when a journalist calls some bit of military equipment a "tank" which doesn't meet their personal definition of the term.
It’s really not, Reflex and all the other tech were getting now on PC is due to direct work NVIDIA has put into GeforceNow.

On the 4080 tier in 240hz mode you are getting an end to end latency of 25ms or lower with a GSYNC monitor on e-sports titles like R6S with that Windows app that is comparable to the end of end latency of a e-sports optimized PCs today.
My biggest complaint is that I have a "16-core Neural Engine" in my MacBook, but nothing that can be run on it. Sure, internal macOS tools such as the fingerprint reader or even webcam might use it, but not a single ML project on github makes use of it. I can be lucky if ML projects don't depend on CUDA to run.
What? No, that's not what I'm talking about at all. What I'm talking about is sensible healthcare provisioning, under the honest observation that just because some medical intervention is technically possible, it's necessarily a good idea (from both quality of life as well as financial points of view).

So no, just because it's technically possible to replace an 80 year old's hip, doesn't mean we should. There is nothing wrong with some cutoff where we say 'as a society, the maximum we want to pay for a daly is x' (or qaly or any other measure you want to take). There is nothing wrong with being honest about resources being finite, and that not every potentially possible medical intervention needs to be paid for by society. And this is what is happening in 'Europe' (although it isn't admitted as bluntly as I put it here...), and what I was referring to.
Interesting that the author, who supports the "stochastic parrot" interpretation, still works on GPT detection. If it's just a stochastic parrot, surely it will be trivial to detect, and its outputs useless anyway.

> One of the most immediate is how to make AI output detectable as such, in order to discourage its use for academic cheating as well as mass-generated propaganda and spam. As I’ve mentioned before on this blog, I’ve been working on that problem since this summer

I don't really know what a "stochastic parrot" is supposed to mean. It is an LLM that can do 1000 NLP tasks, or a glorified Markov Chain word salad factory?

It's also a bad term: demeaning to parrots - they can reproduce and don't need our help to survive, and demeaning to LLMs that can actually do more than parroting - they generate novel text that makes sense. Gebru really did a number on NLP, inventing such an insulting name, no wonder she was kicked out, I wouldn't want her in my team, she would just piss on any idea.
Other countries use an actual

If we are going to talk about other countries—-they don’t have class actions or gigantic punitive damages awards. Lawsuits are by and large intended to compensate people for their losses rather than be a substitute regulatory regime as in the US. Consumer arbitration, in practice if not theory, is much closer to that.

Asahi Linux is introducing support for some brand new Apple Silicon features faster than macOS.. M1 has a virtual GIC interrupt controller for enhanced virtualization performance. Linux supports it, macOS does not.. M2 introduced Nested Virtualization support. The patches for supporting that on Linux are in review; macOS still doesn't support it.

Nonsense About Gut Bacteria
You're pitching yourself wrong here, and based off your other comment. Those things are not blots. Here are a few counters that pitch better

Every language teaches us new things, haskell might not be my language of choice but it's damn sure taught me things about functional programming and correctness. Those lessons are portable, either to other functional languages (Scala, Elixir) or just to the way you build programs in something like typescript.

Working long hours at a startup and having to do everything makes you a generalist that can pick up obscure codebases quickly. Haskell again is evidence of this.

Watching the startup(s) make bad decisions has given you an appreciation of the importance of selecting appropriate tooling. Working across web and mobile gives you an appreciation of the architectural challenges of the current app and web environment.

Startups fail and make bad decisions, the pitch here is that you've learned from all their mistakes and can help your next employer, big or small to avoid the same ones.

Burnout from 17 hour days, and not wanting to repeat that is evidence of not being as young (or stupid). Work life balance and sustainable pace are vital parts of software development (see also 996[0], for some of the endemic problems in China about this)

Taking a sabbatical, is an opportunity to grow and become a T shaped individual including things beyond tech (In 2021 I learned how to sail, and got licensed, I'm better for it).

Interviewing (and later Performance Reviews) are not exercises in soul searching. They're sales and marketing exercises. Not lying, but presenting everything you've experienced in the best possible way. The reflection and growth should be done with mentors, coaches and therapists.

Always happy to talk about this, my contact details are in my profile (and this applies not just to the OP, but to anyone that wants career advice or mentoring).

It's a reasonable thing to require someone to do, but it's not a realistic thing to enforce. It's like, say, throwing trash in the trash can. It's not unreasonable to require people not to throw trash all over the street. But it is unrealistic to try to enforce that requirement by authoritarian means. At least, unrealistic in certain social contexts and given a certain level of tolerance for authority (I know there are countries where you will be more or less hanged for dropping a plastic bottle).
I think battery swapping will win, unless we invent some sort of mega-fast charger.
Nonsense, Sony have every right to be aggrieved at this deal. They have worked hard to maintain their position and work closely with third parties to create excellent games that consistently approach GOTY status.

Microsoft tried this approach and spectacularly mismanaged a large amount of the successful IP they managed to create (Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Fable). They’re now attempting to catch up not through the creation of quality products, but by throwing around ridiculous amounts of capital gained through other parts of the business. Why would any direct competitor not feel aggrieved? It’s essentially impossible to compete with companies as large as these tech giants.

The parent posts talks about Spyro and Crash Bandicoot as potential Microsoft mascots. Those were characters and franchises that Sony helped create and were the original PlayStation mascots.

Right now Sony are ahead, but over an extended period it will become impossible for them to constantly create new IP to compete with nostalgia and established brands - I find it difficult not to sympathise with them.
This does make sense. Audio books are an easy way to see what books are worth reading.
20ms on Starlink is the best case right now for a round trip latency.

Today on R6S with a GSYNC monitor using a 4080 240fps tier stream on GN you get an end to end latency of 23ms this is comparable to what you’ll get on a 240hz PC build with reflex on. Yes 360hz with reflex will be better on a dedicated PC and can lower the end to end latency to 14-15ms but GN for esports is actually usable today at least in the UK.
It's a double edged sword. Try putting off work on atleast one of your projects for a week now and then and see what happens. Don't do everything at once.
> The chance of loosing all of them are really slim.

True, but you sacrificed some safety for that. If you're not home, you can only create accounts protected by the keys in your person, and you're one robber (or fall into a pool) away from losing those accounts.

I'd never accept a password manager with such limited sync, and those are usually free. Paying for three hardware keys and still having such limitations is beyond me.

I'm all for hardware keys, and I'd love to use them to replace all my passwords, but I still wouldn't call your setup "adequate" in terms of either cost, friction, or safety.
