It's not clear that this isn't the more cost-effective solution. Without diving into the pricing of each component shown, I suspect there may be some cost optimizations to make (for one example, I had a hard time discerning from the write-up what the EC2 instance was doing...something related to more weather data collection I think?) but this is approximately "cloud-native" in approach, and the way to minimize costs in the cloud is to design your application to be cloud-native and use managed services and provider-specific capabilities where they make sense (and also tend to offer very low/free per-use pricing). Does that increase vendor lock-in? Definitely. It's a trade-off that needs to be considered for each application. Using the cloud to run a bunch of static VMs is an anti-pattern and a big factor in driving costs through the roof. (If you need a single server, a VPS is a very good approach.)

The architecture is complex from the standpoint of having a lot of icons and arrows, but if it was running on a single server would it be _that_ much less complex? At this level of architectural diagram you probably condense most of these service icons down to one or two icons. But drill down further and you still have storage, cron jobs, an API endpoint with throttling/quota logic, CDN, a shared filesystem, the need to access the S3 buckets with weather data that AWS is providing from its Open Data Registry, plus (ideally) fine-grained permissions to lock everything down. Could you run all of this on a single server in a VPS? Yes! Could you run it on a vendor-agnostic K8s cluster? Yes! Would those options automatically be less expensive? Not necessarily.
"Frozen" drew a fair amount of complaints in right-which Christian circles for being pro-gay. They see the "Let It Go" song as about coming out. Also the sauna at the trading post. There was a man and 4 kids in the sauna, and the only other person we saw who wasn't just someone stopping in to trade was the owner, also a man. So apparently that clearly makes the two men a gay couple with some adopted children.

An interesting place for movie reviews, regardless of your political or religious leanings, is the entertainment section at christiananswers.net. I'm an atheist but find it quite helpful.

In the reviews themselves they rate the movies both on moviemaking quality and moral quality, and cover both aspects in the review. They are quite willing to rate a movie 5 out of 5 on moviemaking quality and praise its story, acting, cinematography and so on, while at the same time rating it as extremely offensive and telling you in detail why seeing it might put your soul at risk.

There are comments there too which are almost never useful, but are often quite amusing. For example on one of the Harry Potter film reviews one of the commentators went on about how the film is actually promoting real witchcraft, and explained that before she became Christian she was a witch, performed real spells that worked, and the Harry Potter books and movies are an accurate portrayal of that real witchcraft and the spells that she use to use.
Which can be seen as enabling the problem, but whatever, people are gonna use the easier thing.

It sounds suspicious tho. So who takes the risk?
I'm sorry but I believe I'm missing something here. How does this solve any of the problems that people commonly have with decentralized, federated social networks?

* You're still either hosting your own, or at the whim of whomever hosts your repository. Mastodon.social or GitHub.

* Hosting your own Git is not particularly easier than hosting your own GoTo Social or Akkoma.

* What if you end up with either a big following, or a big follower list? Aren't you going to be rate limited by GitHub?

* Is signing up for GitHub easier than signing up for mastodon.social, especially if Mastodon et al already have good mobile clients?

* What about moderation?

* What about media?

And I mean... Isn't Git federated by nature? Multiple machines store multiple copies of the data. That's defederation isn't it?

But OK, let's put the federated social networks we do have aside for a moment.

The site says: Every user stores their application state in a git repo they own and control.

But you don't do that if you're on GitHub, right? Not really, anyway. What is the benefit from doing this over git? What if I want to delete something? What is the overhead of the git protocol?

If it's just a toy, then that's totally cool with me. But it says that Microsoft Research is involved. I'm a bit confused. What is this?
Git was designed from the beginning to be used p2p. It’s how the Linux kernel development is done.
Apparently, some people order stuff just to show them on social media, or even use them in monetized videos just before returning them.
The service has been already abused to death; I would push for a badge to flag users who return too many items.
The LLM will have no overheads though, and will be much faster. Many advantages over and above just cost.
Yeah, the commenters here are missing a HUGE disruption in the BNPL market. Klarna was already ailing — I wonder if they can survive this punch. Interesting to see how BNPL industry will respond.

Sure there is: Review all products and their updates, just like e.g. an app on the app store.

But that will cost Amazon more money than what they currently lose on returns or scams. I presume anyway.

Amazon does not care about the quality of the products on their website, they only care about volume and selling / maintaining subscriptions. As long as numbers go up they're golden.

And there's not enough competition. There's probably plenty of webshops with quality products (anyone can run a webshop from their home), but discoverability is low, I don't know what the consumer protection laws in the US are like, and Amazon is easy to use. Amazon can afford to handle returns and the like as well.
That situation is close to the textbook example for when a debt hawk like Dave Ramsey would tell you it was okay to use a credit card. When you are actually using it to facilitate an investment in your future, not just buying toys. The additional zero-interest aspect is icing on the cake.

A Domino’s pizza there is $30 for a medium.
This is also why I’ve been advocating for more companies to take the google approach to perks - instead of more salary, provide a good lunch. A $10 lunch to me costs $18 pre tax to the company via salary (in CA). But that also includes profit margin on the lunch provider, so might only cost the company $8 to provide.

This is also why I have advocated for a “net worth” tax (kinda like property tax but for all net worth) instead of income tax. If you spend money on an experience or disposable item (good for the economy) you aren’t taxed on that money.
Running it fully locally isn't easy because you need a complex setup with GPUs. Can you give some more color on exactly what you are trying to do (number of PDFs, types of queries, etc.)? With some more info we can give you some guidance.
Oh wow, they actually are doing their own loans instead of taking the usual route and having a bank provide the financing. From the press release:

> Apple Pay Later is offered by Apple Financing LLC, a subsidiary of Apple Inc., which is responsible for credit assessment and lending.
The BNPL industry isn't some big charity. They offer such deals to hook people in, knowing that a huge chunk of them will miss payments and then they can hit them with interest and fees.
> The scope of HTML/CSS shifted vastly.

No, not really. HTML was from the start and always has been designed to specify UIs. From the very start HTML had support for specifying UI element trees, including higher-level UI design patterns like buttons, combo boxes, radio buttons, etc, and also supported running scripts as part of events triggered from those UI elements.

> Most added features solve real problems.

That's debatable, both with regards to "solve", "real", and "problems".
Why does that matter? It still requires (a) SBUX to do work and (b) has impact on SBUX. What I mean by later : if I am someone who didn't tip before the CC system but now I do because it's easy, my cup of coffee has gone up by a buck.

On the margin at some point it's going to just be the same as a price raise (coffee is 5 bucks rather than 4) which obviously impacts business at least somewhat.
A lot of improvements in vehicle safety were made between 1990ish and 2005ish. Around 2004-14 period the older cars that teenagers drive would have started being models with airbags and ABS. Neither of these have much impact on fatalities among "average drivers" but young driver's propensity to crash into things at very high speed and propensity to load more people than seat-belts into vehicles plays right into the use cases where these technologies will save the most lives. Cars from the mid '00s on up will also have much stiffer cabins because of a bunch of rollover and side impact rule changes that took effect around then.

employees and the business are adversaries without a union. The business is always n days away from an employee leaving for better terms elsewhere

A union meanwhile has a strong incentive to keep the company viable, otherwise they have a lot of out of work members
Indeed. So?

My point was not about distributing the app but about paying $99 every year to distribute a free app using the official app store.
Function means that most people that want jobs have jobs and most people that want to purchase goods and services are able to purchase goods and services.

Imagine if you went to a grocery store and it was completely empty. That is the situation in Haiti currently. That is a nonfunctional economy.

Functional does not mean that everyone has everything they want at the price they want.
While this seems awesome (and I do hope to make use of it) I do find it a little funny that an application for a visa for remote work must be submitted by snail mail.
This is such an underrated comment. Not being afraid of your customers and establishing communication goes a very long way especially when you're starting out.
Sounds like a problem with the tax regime rather than with cryptocurrency.
I'm not suggesting a slowdown of innovation, but rather supply chain collapse which is a completely different kettle of fish.

Our ability to make high end chips may plato due to a complete inability of AMSL to source all the parts for EUV steppers.

Many of those components themselves have multi-national supply chains.
Ahh, more "innovation" from the tech industry. So much BS that is easily a net negative to society.

I think any fix that requires input or extra effort from a user won't work in the grander scheme of things. Hide reviews for previous versions behind a button will go a long way, if you keep that in mind.

My go to for shopping is amazon -> walmart (in store only lookup) -> then local stores. And it depends on what i want, if i need a guarantee its a legit item, then i'll go to the vendor site and look up where they sell the product and get a direct link, or if its tech related and i need a guarantee then bestbuy or whatever the vendor says is their link to buy. I do walmart for price comparison and convenience, i live really close to a walmart. Amazon is like other have said more like aliexpress these days, my returns this past few year have gone way up because the items either break quickly or were garbage out of the box.
Oh my, 192kHz/24bit. One would expect Apple would not need snake oil to sell their product.

To those not so familiar with audio DSP: 192kHz and 24bit make perfect sense if you intend to mangle the audio a LOT afterwards. At 192kHz, you can pitch shift your audio down by two octaves and still have frequency content in the entire CD spectrum. Very useful, and common, for movie effects. And 24bit, or better even 32bit, basically eliminates any floating point errors when you have a DSP chain with lots of multiplications.

But for playback, you need around 32-40kHz sample rate and 10 or 11bits. Even 16bit is already overkill.
Lifetime annual discount might be more palatable depending on your cost of delivery.

Grandfathering can also be rewarded with a higher referral fee (as long as referrals are active, they can discount permanently).

It takes some planning up front with account, feature and billing management but can be worthwhile in general for flexibility.

While fewer than expected people might activate and use a lifetime deal, the ones that do can be a fun bunch support wise.
It would be so much easier if those damn peasants would just shut up and follow orders.

Look we know why unions got started and the human condition hasn't changed. There are people out there who would reintroduce child labour if they could get away with it. Guess who makes sure that they can't?
Or within AWS world you can do VPC peering.
Sounds tempting, but Apple Music has been a terrible experience for me.

I recently signed up for the Apple Music subscription and was asked to 'sync my music with the Cloud Music Library" before I could create any playlists.

Shortly afterwards, I noticed that most of my music, which I had bought for over 10 years, just disappeared from iTunes with no explanation. I am still trying to figure out how to get it back, and regretting I just didn't stick with Spotify.

I'm glad that Apple is working on these new features, but I'm going to have a hard time trusting them with any new music related products until this gets fixed.

I am most probably going to cancel my Apple Music subscription, although I have no idea how I'm going to get my music back.

In production this would use transforms and/or will-change to avoid recalculating page layout. I'm on the fence about whether I should consider this a nitpicky implementation detail for this example. On one hand, it's only the logo, so there's no other elements to introduce jank to. On the other hand, it's important to know your platform when you're deciding what to optimize.
LLMs and GPT: Some of my favorite learning materials
you probably aren't the target

the target is uneducated (in the financial sense) consumers who are enticed into making purchases they might otherwise not make (and probably shouldn't make)

Apple probably wants to get at the consumers who are still buying cheap Android phones who will be bowled over by the psychology of splitting the purchase price into installments
Many will tell you what they think it's worth, and if the app went away (even with lifetime), what they would be willing to pay elsewhere.

Asking lifetime customers may not provide a full picture though.
I think they meant to say you should directly ask those customers why they didn't buy a subscription.
A Brief History of Qt
You can control inflation with taxes, and it's a more fiscally responsible way to do it.

As for "irresponsibly low" and "(which is pernicious)"... these are your value judgements that you've arrived at based on your perspective. That's fine, but other people have other perspectives. To someone with debt who wants a well-lubricated economy, or to someone who makes money off of exports, it's not irresponsible at all.

If you look at the history of fed rates vs unemployment and recessions, it's a very clear trend that the fed rate has to stay lower longer for a recovery, and it takes less raising of the rates to put us back in a recession. Why would this be? Maybe because it's not the appropriate tool to be using to control inflation. Maybe it's not because the fed is being irresponsible, but it's doing what it has to to keep the economy afloat and that's less and less effective because the country refuses to do what it has to, which is raise taxes on the rich.
I'd like to see them make an app for Apple TV, as well. The sound system setup with my television is the main one in my apartment.
Performance insights for PyTorch deep learning applications
octoml-profile is a python library and cloud service designed to provide the simplest experience for assessing and optimizing the performance of PyTorch models on cloud hardware. With octoml-profile, you can easily run performance/cost measurements on a wide variety of different hardware and apply state-of-the-art ML acceleration techniques, all from your development machine, using the same data and workflow used for training and experiment tracking, without tracing or exporting the model.

Apply just a few code changes, run your code locally, and you instantly get performance feedback on your model's compute-intensive tensor operations.

No more:
- exporting the models and stitching them back with pre/post processing code
- provisioning the hardware
- preparing the hardware specific dependencies, i.e. the version of PyTorch, Cuda, TensorRT etc.
- sending the model and data to each hardware and running the benchmarking script

I saw one of these while checking out on Uber Eats recently.

#1, no, I don't want to spread my $50 worth of sushi out over 4 months

#2, if you do need to do that, maybe you shouldn't be ordering from Uber eats?

It seems extremely parasitical. I'm equally bothered that these companies are doing this and that some consumers feel the need to do this (and think this is a good idea)...

You're lucky. That's not my experience at all. I stopped using Firefox in part because it's the only browser that takes more than 2 minutes to start up on my Linux boxes.
Interpreting and complying with laws is something all business have to deal with, and not just with sanctions. I am not a lawyer, but due diligence is usually “do the best you can with the data you can reasonably get”. If you need to comply with sanctions law then you should ask your corporate lawyer.

Either way, your company is required to follow the law regardless of your opinion on it.

The lesson I taught myself is to amortize everything so it's thought of as $/time. An upfront purchase has an opportunity cost.

Also, most people can't pay for a house upfront. Mortgages are effectively govt-subsidized, so you usually want one anyway. I directly care what the house will cost me per month, and the bid price is only part of that.
If I was trying to say that, I imagine I would have just said that

Well it's actually boiled down to if you make money with your laptop. I guess most people on HN are programmers so of course they do. But the question is not good laptop vs crappy laptop, it's consumption vs investment.
I have compiled a list of some of the materials that I found the best for learning about how LLMs work. I Hope this is useful to you all. I will continue to update it as I find new things.
I am always highly skeptical of these applications that use git to store non-code data. Often many of the key features of git aren't applicable to other problem spaces and this makes everything less efficient.

There is a big exception here. You sign commits, so each update comes with some proof of the identity of the author. I like how simple this is, and generally prefer it over the way Mastodon and other federated services handle identity.
Indeed. I noticed that difference traveling from the UK to FI especially. The small place there had a 3 phase supply, with multiple resistive load heaters, and a split inverter which was okay down to about -15C, and then you just had to burn electrons. I cant imagine many European countries having the grid infrastructure for something like that in every home, plus an EV in the driveway. I guess that's why much of Europe is still burning natural gas.

Legislators.
following this statement to its logical implications, if they lower interest rates even further below a Taylor Rule, then that would be deflationary since less money would find its way back into the economy and fuel inflation?

by not printing money they are printing money or something..cough...tell me you don't understand monetary policy without telling me you don't understand monetary policy.

the money they lose when rates go up is of no more significance than the profits they make when they create high-powered reserves. everything on the Fed's balance sheet is outside the real economy. what matters to the real economy is the current nominal and real interest rates and the expectations for where they are going.

net income (as opposed to cash flow) is mostly a fiction in general but all the more so when it's the Fed.

I’d guess it also doesn’t as staying in the Schengen area (aka free movement area the includes most of Europe, including Iceland). An American visiting as a “tourist” can’t spend consecutive 90 days in Iceland & then hop over to Spain, as that could take them over the 90 day Schengen visit limitation.
