> So we decided to consolidate all the costs spent for this data center, divide them by the number of servers, and compare them to the cost of a similar installation in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud (we use this as the leading IaaS example).

so compare them to buying AWS VMs you don’t need? one of the main attractions of the cloud is the fact that you don’t have to pay for what you don’t use. Elasticity.

Every time I see one of these is: I bought 100 servers (which i use 40 of), I would’ve saved money if I was renting 100 servers of AWS. Yeah … no shit. If you were renting only 40, and had the ability to go down as usage decreases, there would be savings, mind you there are such things as, RIs, savings plans, etc, etc. meh.
This is exactly what I have wanted for a long time! I need to keep some amount of cash reasonably liquid (3-10 day retrieval process would be fine), but hate it sitting around, seemingly with no way to require the bank to mandate that it is really me making the withdrawal request.

Edit: Random internet poster did some testing (https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=382555) and found that the Fidelity Lockdown Mode will block ACATS pulls, but not ACH. Better than nothing, though still not what I want: money goes in, money does not come out until I sign something in blood.
makes no difference to me if it's china or my own government or my government's boss (the US). I suffer even more if it's my own government: questionable lock downs (see UK scandal on telegraph), tax money goes to feed the war in Ukraine, etc. All these are propped by domestic propaganda.
I’ve struggled for a long time to explain to others what money is, but “money always has a counter party” is a great way to start, thanks.

You go through the man page of the vendor supplied version like "What do you mean you don't support feature x? This can't be real. I swear I'm being recorded right now. A bunch of people are sitting around a large conference table in mountain view right now laughing at my pain"

Eventually I just read them as parody. Things like this can be really funny if you allow them to be.

It did not. Introduced the idea that the "negroes" could be just like the white man in the political discourse through an influential politician, but the effect was short-lived and Woodrow Wilson made sure that the races would be nicely segregated for a few more decades. At least I did not find evidence to the contrary in the article. Nothing about the legacy of Roosevelt.
> You would be wrong about SATA being faster than SSD.

SATA is the computer bus interface, while SSD is the generic name for a storage device that more often than not comes with SATA interfaces.

SATA was not a hard requirement, just the one that I felt was the most popular.

> Also, SSDs are much larger and cheaper than RAM.

SSDs are not cheaper per GB if you already have RAM sticks lying around. Nevertheless this is besides the point, if the goal is to have low latency temp storage when you already maxed out on RAM.
Is Apple’s AI adding hallucinated details? The last I read it’s just used to merge multiple images - up to 8 or 9 images - to form the final
image. While I could see details getting lost or artifacts being added, I don’t think it can add actual “feature” details that don’t exist.
While I generally agree about people blowing this out of proportion, here's a hypothetical:

SVB seems to have had a very concentrated set of customer relationships. For example, a startup might do its banking at SVB, and the startup's founder might do his/her banking at SVB. That include taking loans to buy houses as cars--because traditional banks don't "get" borrowers who look like a founder.

Now that startups can't make payroll (and some of the founder's personal deposits might be frozen), what if startup founders start defaulting on their loans?

So SVB's successor has to write down those assets... which makes it harder to pay out the deposits... which triggers more defaults... which results in writing down more assets. That could turn into a very nasty death spiral, particularly if it creates contagion that spreads to other banks.
There is no "phase information" in the spatial domain. "Phase" is literally, where the pixels are on the screen.

Rather, reversing blur of any type is limited (a) by spatial decimation (a.k.a. down sampling, which is performed in the article), and (b) by noise/quantization floor, below which high frequency content has been pushed.
Third, what if my university decided to buy Mathematica instead but this week I have to collaborate with this guy whose university Matlab?
I use old Hardware because I can use whatever OS I want on it, no worries about secure boot and things like that. Right now I have a T420 with BSD and a W541 with Linux, both were bought used and cheap. Due to Nvidia, BSD has a rough time on the W541, but runs OK.

I will never by new unless I get a 100% guarantee with full refund that NetBSD runs on that hardware without the slightest issue. You can guess how well that will go over

That is why I run on Old hardware.
The API interface is definitely a clone, is it not? I think calling Octave not a clone of MATLAB feels a bit misleading.

“Operational” at a bank includes financial risks.
Conservative risk management strategies like "only bank with BofA and JPMorgan"?

Ackman isn't wrong that the practical result of bank runs is that all accounts beyond the FDIC limit will suddenly migrate to one of two or three major "too big to fail" banks.

I'm not sure what the solution to all this is but it sure looks like a good time to buy stock in quasi-monopoly bank companies and short all the rest.
afaik Smalltalk implementations usually provide step backwards but don't "run backwards".

"The stack of (framed) execution contexts gives a history of the computation so far. You can select any frame, view instance values in the receiver, view the arguments and method variables at that point."

So step backwards, modify a method, step backwards before that method send, and resume execution with the modified method. (Note: resume rather than restart, so the modified method has the preserved context unless we manually edit that context.)
Agree that tether will inevitably go to zero, but I don't think it will be Bitfinix pulling out the rug. Tether is more useful for more people than any other stable for the time being. IMO it will be the last stable standing unless the US regulators go after them hard before going after others, which is very possible.
> A properly-stored crypto cold wallet is a safe place for pretty much any amount of money.

???

It's a safe place for the units of cryptocurrency identified by it, but those aren't money until it can be exchanged for something. Between you burying that USB key under the old oak tree and you digging it back up post-apocalypse, those units of cryptocurrency will have a very different exchange value. It's no different than tucking currency under a mattress, except that the odds of your 2023 cryptocoin being worthless by the time you pull it out is much higher than that the 20th century's global reserve currency becomes worthless. Although it might go the other way, your wallet contents don't sound like a very safe store of money at all.

As toxic as Brian Krazinich was, you can’t really blame one person for the problem at Intel. Yes, he and Murthy initiated the layoffs. But then the orders were executed by mid/senior management. They are the ones who have used reviews/promos/bonuses as political weapons for as long as I ever worked there (over a decade). It was natural that the 2016 layoffs at Intel eviscerated the technical contributors while keeping the politicians, ass-kissers and powerpointers in place.

As far as I can tell Pat Gelsinger has not changed anything. The same hacks who ruined Intel are all still there, moving up the managerial ranks. Makes sense because Pat came from that culture… he practically defined it.

Is the only way to make a true stablecoin is to create your own bank to hold the assets of the stablecoin?

The problem is a stablecoin holds reserves in a bank which the bank is then investing in non liquid assets which puts you in the current predicament. On paper USDC had these cash reserves, but in reality if you follow the trail all the way down you find out that those cash reserves are actually MBS’s and 10 year bonds.

A stablecoin which operated it’s own bank could guarantee that all reserves are actually being held in cash ready to wire transfer at a moments notice.

first off thank you, anything even remotely down this road is the right direction.

as a UI bug, when I typed "ewr" or even "newark" it shows zero search results. strangely if i back off just one character on either then it does show newark liberty international airport. for some reason the search is penalizing you for finishing the string.

a second one, the show report button didnt work at all.

product suggestion: make the results a unique url that can be shared amongst coworkers planning an event. they should be able to edit it like a google doc to collaboratively update how many people are flying from what locations, and then everyone can reference the shared url to see the calculated result.

last thing, can you share some of the tech details behind how you made the globe/flight-visualizations?
Buy property and rent it out.
Yeah but I already wrote off Goog Authenticator after last time. The original version didn't let you transfer codes, and the devs said that's WAI for so long before listening to common sense.

Also, such a strict auth system needs to be 100% clear what my credentials are and where they're stored, and it's unclear here. People today still get confused about whether or not Android or iPhone backups (local or cloud) contain them. They could've taken a page from the cryptocurrency wallets, which give you a recovery word-list upon first setup and force you to understand how it works.

I'm on a (possibly multi-)lifetime quest to understand this better.

all of what this music library does comes out of the concept of the music keyboard, which is (in my head) the same as the 12-note "meta"-scale which is a system that enables 12 different version of 7 note scales.

in this view, a scale does not begin in any specific note; this perspective of "scale" goes beyond the typical music theory view. understanding 'scales' like this implies that the major and minor 'scales' are the same 'scale'. I should choose another vocabulary term for this quasi-scale idea (semiscale?)

The images generated by SLR and mirrorless cameras are already signed with device embedded keys during EXIF embedding. Every manufacturer sells such verification systems to law enforcement or other institutions to verify such images.

Sometimes there are exploits which extract these keys from the cameras themselves, but I don't hear them nowadays.

And if you think about it in terms of what deposits look like from the bank side, every deposit a bank takes in is effectively money they’re borrowing. SVB borrowed more money than they could afford to borrow.
This is pretty cool! Nice tool.
Yes! Very easy to do. But in 2008 banks that failed were only giving out $250,000 initially and people using this and similar tricks had to wait much longer.
If you have spare PCIe I’d go with an Intel Optane 905P. You can find a used 960GB drive for about $500. They have essentially unlimited write endurance and has latencies closer to RAM than SATA. You’re going to be very dissappointed with both latency and throughout with anything SATA.
> Isn't it better to meet in a place where one of the people is already located? Then one less person has to fly, and they can use their saved time to work and offset the CO2 spent by the additional time traveled by the others.

I'm not sure if the tool specifically accounts for that or if the math just ends up working out, but I was testing with various combinations of my family and it always ended up at someone's home airport.
SVB is not like other banks. Ordinary banks don't have catastrophic interest rate exposure. Regular banks don't have money burning startups as their main customer base. Regular banks don't have the problem of having billions of dollars in deposits but no way to put that money to work.

If you think SVB is a regular bank practicing accepted business models I'm not sure you appreciate how unusual SVB is in terms of their customer base and interest rate exposure.

It's been a bit disheartening that neither Node.js/libuv[1] nor Deno[2] have adopted io_uring. Nice to see some signs of adoption. Bun too.

Great article.

Having built out many a millions of square feet office/health spaces - there are a lot of issues with conversion of an office building to housing, namely plumbing. (lack of said plumbing) and I would assume the addition of plumbing and electrical utils to support bath/shower/stoves/fridges will result in the electrical closets being too small - plus individually billing for sewar, water, electrical, and no gas for heating - so the plenums will be a nightmare for HVAC etc...
Figures that someone who is against the personal right of self defense would also be against citizens having access to basic tech that may be used in a nefarious way

The comparison between knives and guns is especially funny, darkly though, in light of the "knife crime" narrative in the UK where the subjects of the crown have already been completely disarmed of guns, so now the state has moved on to taking away knives as much as possible

I bet you're against encryption, too. That can facilitate crime, you know.
13B runs fine on my M1 Air with 16GB Ram and 8C8G. It's not even stressing out the memory and the swap as much as Stable Diffusion.

I'm getting like 350-450ms per token and it feels as fast as ChatGPT on a busy day.

This obviously isn't using the Neural Engine.

With Apple's Stable Diffusion implementation, when the neural engine is used I can see how my CPU and GPU stays mostly idle and the temp on the Neural Engine cores is rising but it is rising significantly less than when run on the GPU or the CPU.

I wonder of it's not possible to have this run on the Neural Engine? Given that it's mostly idle, running this locally will only impact the RAM use and on a machine with a large RAM it might feel like doesn't have a performance hit and run continuously for various task.

Agreed. They put their money in a regulated bank that's an FDIC member. Banks are a bit like the US airline in that they're heavily regulated, how they treat you and the fees the charge are all over the place, but they're all safe.
The goal is certainly to have a language suitable for "real-time applications" (read games/audio), that's not my area of expertise however so your definition of real-time might not be different than mine.

As it compiles to C, any microcontroller with a compiler that supports something that looks like C can work. I've run Carp code on a GBA (as mentionned somewhere else in the comments), esp32, esp8266, as well as Arduboy & Pygamer via Arduino.

There is some more information about running Carp on embedded platforms in the docs[0].

One last thing I wanted to mention is that Carp is still very much in flux so it might not be the best choice for longterm projects, but if you're interested in playing with the language there is usually always someone to answer questions on the Gitter[1].

I'm not exactly on this trend, but I noticed something going into that direction:

15 years ago, I wanted the latest everything. Now I usually want the latest minus one. Python 3.11 is out? It's finally time to use 3.10. The new phone model is ready? Let me buy the one from last year.

I recently upgraded my iPhone and I'm trying hard to live without Google. Google is evil.

The only two Google apps I can't seem to get away from are Authenticator and Maps. I travel a lot, and I find the reviews are helpful for deciding where to go. Even if I don't read the reviews, the number of reviews are helpful to find a useful store of any time.

Apple maps' reviews aren't as helpful.

And another reason why I think residential solar is so key, right now it takes a backseat in policy to gridscale, which ... ok the US has a lot of land (allegedly), but using commercial roofs and parking lots is a lot closer to residential solar issues than gridscale in the middle of nowhere: there's a lot of variety in geometry, installation headaches, hookups, distributed management, repair.

Ultimately it means more jobs, more civilization resiliency in disasters, and a "democraticization" of energy generation, which I think the elite REALLY don't want.

It's a thing that economic development basically follows energy production. Central control of economic development (which is what we have with cartel megacorps) wants centralized control of energy production.

Solar isn't just a good carbon policy, or a path to cheaper better energy, or better insurance/life in unstable grids. Home solar is an improvement to individual or small-group liberty.
