I think this comes with the limitation that your workloads might be terminated without your control?

They have a whole section in their docs about this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/spot-int...

It's all about how your spot instances can be terminated. Perhaps this could interfere with a workload that might take a long while to finish.

On paper your app should be resilient to these things but in practice it's essentially an unforgiving chaos monkey that will delete servers from your cluster.

If you can handle that, you can definitely save a lot though. Especially web servers where it's expected you'll be responding in a few seconds while maybe your background workers are churning through longer lived tasks. The problem there is you need to already be big enough to have different nodes handling web vs worker traffic. A lot of decently sized apps can operate in a world where maybe you have 2-5 nodes on your cluster and your web and worker pods land on any of them based on Kubernetes' default scheduler.
That sounds awesome, if somewhat overengineered.

Though the idea of mistakenly putting credentials in the cli and it ending up in GPT is bothering me a bit.

There were only 5 MDs and 6 ACs. How confident can we be that they are measuring the effects of the groups, and not just the individuals? For example, you might get the same result of you compare one group of 5 MDs against another group of 5 MDs.
The reactor that Gates talks about (Natrium) uses sodium as moderator and coolant. In other words, the uranium fuel is submerged in a pool (literally, a pool) of liquid sodium. There are some pipes that circulate the liquid (and very hot) sodium to a separate place, where it heats up a secondary circuit of molten salt. That molten salt then goes on to heat some water and make it steam, which then drives some turbines and generate electricity. Or that molten salt can be left molten for a number of hours, as some form of energy storage solution.

So, the molten salt does not get in contact with the nuclear fuel in any way in this design.

There are other designs where this happens, and especially, there are designs where the uranium (or thorium) is itself part of the molten salt. Even Gates's company, Terrapower, has such a design in the works. But the Natrium reactor is not that.
That’s fine, you don’t have to love a corp like they’re a human, or empathize, but they’re definitely going to screw up in a human way because they’re made of humans, so customers are going to be disappointed if they expect too much.

The earlier comment called ending free lifetime updates/service “incredibly scummy behavior.” That seems way off to me. In the pantheon of bad corporate behavior that’s not even a 1 out of 10 in severity. It’s “disappointing behavior” but not surprising or IMO particularly bad. None of us is entitled to free service from others. That’s just not how the world works long term. Nice if you can get it but don’t be surprised when it ends.

By the way I think you’re right that it’s destructive behavior - one company does this, competitors face pressure to do the same. But I am not sure acting like it’s a shameful moral outrage to overpromise is a good solution. The problem isn’t morality, it’s bad incentives, with “10X or bust” VC thinking at the root. I don’t hate the players I hate the game.
What field are you trying to gain a mentor in?
I find it shameless that after a 10% cut on back of the worker, they make it complex and confusing by not just rounding down the amount of their fee.
Twitter security incident that showed private tweets to random users
I’m not sure if your first sentence is true, but it’s an interesting idea. My gut says even the most staunchly anti-local transit folks would still gladly use public transit in a city that has a good system (e.g. if they were to visit Paris, or Tokyo, etc).

Saying people would never use transit even if it were more convenient doesn’t match the pattern of what I’ve observed actual humans do. It would be nice if there was a study on this.

The quitarist in question was looking for soloist career, so singer wont be an issue. Plus, it is not exactly as if he ever needed to do that quickly on the fly. He does not need to know when all in all variations for that either. Being able to understand and look up scales in that unique situation is useful, but that does not require being able to "play all scales in all keys with all possible variations of articulation for his practical." I am not saying that school does not have right to put in such task, but I am saying that it 100% makes sense that student does not like it.

And second, it is not like you would pass practical just by knowing which notes and chords are in it. You need to play in tempo, with accents and all that jazz. It does require training even if you know exactly what you are supposed to do. Except that this training is brain dead boring.

>What does this have to do with mysterious vanishing?

Nothing. As the very first line of the comment goes: "That's not the way things are done in the west. Lacking absolute rule, you need to achieve similar things with a little more subtlety".

When establishment power is privitazed, distributed, and can be yielded more finely, you don't need to vanish people to shut them up or shut them down.
If the Tweet that you cited was indeed from the official account of the local fire department, then the editor who reverted you was wrong. Twitter accounts are mostly unreliable sources, except when they are reliable: that is, when an official or verified account gives information about themselves. See WP:ABOUTSELF and WP:SPS. The same goes for any such social media platform: YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, whatever.

In fact, there are many TV news outlets who have official YouTube channels -- why wouldn't these be acceptable as reliable sources, just like a newspaper or a live TV broadcast?
It's not about whether the 'benefit' is standard practice or not.

I’m approaching the point where I feel similarly about WFH deniers as I do about vaccine deniers. We performed an immediate GLOBAL switch to fully remote work and corporate life went on largely unaffected. We have the experimental data strongly supporting that it does not hurt the ability of most workers to function (exceptions apply).

What’s more annoying, is that the execs confuse their own 0.0001% career experience with that of their typical employee. Yes, if you’re running a company and in board meetings and such, then it makes sense to be face-to-face. For your SDEs, DEs, and scientists in the trenches? Not so much.

My interactions with my manager are great and keep me focused. We have zero problems communicating over video. Most other interactions are generally neutral or net-negative, a distraction from the work I would be doing for my manager.

I like these little side interactions, and I enjoy talking with my coworkers, but I don’t think it’s ultimately as beneficial to the bottom line as people think. I can move quite fast when I’m left alone to my own devices.
Given that the world spends trillions annually on fossil fuels, spending trillions on batteries could still save money.

That's the thesis of the Tesla "master plan 3.0". It claims it will cost $10T to decarbonize the world, but that it would save $13T by doing so.

Tesla is obviously biased, but so is everybody else so might as well use a source where the biases are clear.
Upwork contractors reside in many different jurisdictions around the world so I won't even trying guessing the legalities. Certainly they are breaking the law somewhere. However, one thing is certain: there is a very strong incentive to not look for long term contracts on Upwork.

That incentive always was there, but it was small. It isn't small any longer. The trajectory makes one wonder what this fee will be in another year or two. Clearly they won't be lowering it.

Upwork is not an independently sustainable company. Upwork shares are worth less than at their 2018 IPO. They've never really been profitable. They rarely have a positive free cash flow. They've increased outstanding share count 26%. The things they've done only reduced the value customers receive from them (like when they decided to charge extra money to view contractor reports.)

How did they never make any money? Companies spend billions of dollars a year on recruiting. This isn't a tiny market. Someone grossly mismanaged Upwork -- for their customers, for their contractors, and their shareholders.
That makes me stay apotheist.
I appreciate your support I'm in it for the long game. In this world the fastest way for growth is riding the waves. An alternative is grinding to build an audience that appreciate the value you offer. The latter takes years of consistent work.
It makes no sense that every billionaire on the planet doesn’t put 95% of their money into cancer, heart disease and neurological disease research.

I would argue Microservices trade 100% design complexity with 100% operational complexity and 20% design complexity. Everytime I saw a microserviced design, I always wondered how would they debug this easily and re-operationalize it. Sometimes it is better to let the entire system die and spawn it back instead of having something running to make it look like it's alive.

A mix would always be nice because of diversification. I don’t think anyone wants full nuclear.

Building water, geo and hydro is (as of now) cheaper to build compared to nuclear [citation needed]. And it’s also “free” energy. Why not use it to reduce the usage of nuclear fuel?

They don't protect employers either. We had a guy whos contract was still open and he booked 80hrs and scammed us and then closed his account. Couldn't get the money back from upwork
Decomposing the system into libraries is just as effective from this perspective as decomposing into services however. The thing that a typical http API gives you is stability (documentation, versioning and a deprecation policy). This can be done with a library as well. We know this works as 3rd party libraries work well and no communication with the authors of the library is needed.

This is why I suggest team size is not a valid reason to break a problem into microservices. The problem itself is the thing to analyze.
Hate the racism, not the racist! I agree. All we need is love, for fuck's sake.

Good to know because everything else is turning them on.
Of course it's not forever. The company isn't going to be around forever (or even 100 years in all probability). The software isn't going to make any sense probably in 10 years. So no a company shouldn't make those sorts of statements and, if they have lawyers on staff, probably won't. But any claim that a product will be supported "forever" is just as clearly untrue as the claim that some non-trivial software product has no bugs.
I recently made a small webapp to make me "touch grass". The idea behind it is that you enter some activities (or keep the random defaults), and when you are bored or doom scrolling, it call tell you what to do.

It's a bit silly, and still very bare bones, but I just like the phrase "touch grass", and this is my effort to reclaim it from the depths of derisiveness.

How's Upwork nowadays? I tried getting some gigs there for 3+ years and got nothing. I had more success with r/forhire and Craigslist and the good thing is there's no middleman.

Yes, but "volk" is IPA /fɔlk/ while Wolke is /ˈvɔlkə/. That's a major difference.

But in this context, the "v" we're talking about is the English IPA /'v/ (e.g. valley /ˈvæli/) vs. IPA /w/ (e.g. wool, IPA /wʊl/) and that difference is far less noticeable.
Playing with a capo sounds different to playing without one, and digital keyboards don't sound the same as acoustic instruments.

Sure you might make a career as a musician playing everything by ear, and there is nothing wrong with that. But a university trained viola player can join an orchestra, be handed violin sheet music and then perform having never heard or practiced the music before.

You don't really need to go do a degree in music at all if your only goal is performance and you have intuitive aptitude, but if your plan is to teach, you're going to be a pretty awful teacher if you only can teach students to ape your specific methodology rather than being able to introduce them to the lingua franca that most musicians are using.

Ask HN: Why hasn't Meta's LLaMa leak resulted in their lawyers sending C&Ds?
Years ago, it was considered best practice to not even look at the leaked Windows 2000 source code because of the liability that would open you and any future employers to. But the absence of a "cease and desist" response from their legal team, as well as the proliferation of LLaMA, derivatives, etc make it seem like they've just accepted that it was leaked and that's that. What am I missing?

NNg said they caused confusion in 2016… 7 years ago. Users are familiar with them now. NNg have recommendations for how to implement them effectively.

I’ll also add that NNg spent years trying to get people to adopt the “pie menu” despite clear evidence that they confuse the heck out of users. So, I’m not always inclined to take their word for things without doing my own testing.

The mineral reserves figures usually touted can be seen as the working inventory given the economic conditions today. USGS have a good explanation

> Reserves data are dynamic. They may be reduced as ore is mined and (or) the feasibility of extraction diminishes, or more commonly, they may continue to increase as additional deposits (known or recently discovered) are developed, or currently exploited deposits are more thoroughly explored and (or) new technology or economic variables improve their economic feasibility. Reserves may be considered a working inventory of mining companies’ supplies of an economically extractable mineral commodity. As such, the magnitude of that inventory is necessarily limited by many considerations, including cost of drilling, taxes, price of the mineral commodity being mined, and the demand for it. Reserves will be developed to the point of business needs and geologic limitations of economic ore grade and tonnage.

> For example, in 1970, identified and undiscovered world copper resources were estimated to contain 1.6 billion metric tons of copper, with reserves of about 280 million tons of copper. Since then, about 600 million tons of copper have been produced worldwide, but world copper reserves in 2021 were estimated to be 880 million tons of copper, more than triple those in 1970, despite the depletion by mining of much more than the 1970 estimated reserves.

This really is the issue. When you have no informed opinion, it may be better to start with monolith. This Microservice culture was all about "let me reduce the design complexity by using MS"
I am in Wyoming. I think it makes sense to the people here. The state is going green and the mines are shutting down. A suitable replacement needs to be created first before all the mines are decommissioned. Some of the people will be employed by the nuclear plant and some will have to move or retire. The person I know at the mine is retiring soon. As this state provides a lot of power to the US power grid currently with coal [1] I think it makes sense to transition as much of it as possible to nuclear and renewables. The state is not limiting itself to one source, all options are on the table and more options are being added soon. We do not show up as a big number for wind and solar power because it is only augmenting some power for some of the small towns and not the US grid yet [2].

My personal take is that "inside" much of language (especially written language) is a kernel of predicate logic. Most pieces of text end up taking a propositional form, eventually. So if you train the right kind of learning machine on an absolutely huge pile of text, it will eventually "learn" some amount of logical constructions, and start producing things that at least look like logical reasoning, in response to logical queries.

Same with training it on programming languages, which have a similar underlying form.

What I've found though is that this "reasoning" starts to get exposed as shallow fairly quickly. It can only "backtrack" through logical relationships a couple levels deep. E.g. I give GPT4 a Rust program with a borrow checker problem and ask it to "fix" it and watch it flail around in circles for 3 or 4 tries before just producing complete nonsense because it gets lost.

It looks like human intelligence like you say, but it just falls over after a few short steps.

Yes, most humans will do the same thing. Except unlike an LLM, humans are able to sense when they get lost and attempt to sometimes retrace or correct their steps. But I think there's something intrinsically missing in LLMs that prevents them from doing that -- they don't "know" why they arrived at some step, and don't seem to be able to retrace and fix. Ask them to fix something they get wrong, and they start to degrade in quality quite quickly, I find. Self-awareness/consciousness may be the kernel of that missing piece.

I think maybe these systems might be more useful once they're tied to an actual rigorous logical deduction system, and "taught" how to use them. Let the LLM "read" the prompt, recognize that it needs to do some logical constraint solving or deduction, etc., create the right terms or horne clauses or whatever in that subsystem, query it, and then let the LLM in turn produce the textual response.
"free forever" isn't a prediction, it's a promise. Breaking promises is shitty behaviour. Never make a promise unless you are sure you can keep it.

It's a breakthrough but this research doesn't establish the claim in the title of the article.

The next step is to establish causality. They will have to deliberately remove (and maintain removal of) this bacteria from certain people and measure the progress of parkinsons over many years. There will also be a control group given placebos. The difference between these two groups will be the factor that crystallizes the claim made here.

Succintly put!
> IANAL, but for a contract to be legal, at least in the US, it requires consideration from both sides, which means both sides have to give up something. What consideration is given from the free user?

What "free" user? Didn't they paid a fee to get app with forever updates? So they given cash? When it comes to contracts what matters is how much money they can spend on lawyers/experts and how much political clout they have.
Similar to apartment locators, the "agent" is often paid by a commission from the apartment rather than by the person using the service. So this is one of those cases where you are the product.
Even if you can good adherence to antibiotics, without specific targeting, you have always have unknown unknowns that won't be completely eradicated by a broad spectrum treatment. This study is probably finding out how to target.
This is an economics and politics question, not a science question. Science has delivered the tools, it's a question of how we pay for it and who pays for it.

Scientists don't have a good track record providing answers to economics and political questions. OTOH, neither do economists nor political scientists.
Probably you’d clear the gut completely with antibiotics and then repopulate it. And do the same with household family members.
