EDIT: if you really need GPU compute power, go buy a GPU from the computer store around the corner - they are cheap, fast and available.

I gave up on ec2 when they started requiring you "request for quota" to start a gpu instance.

You have to "request for quota" even if you want to run a single instance.

You have to specify which specific instance type you want.

You have to specify which region you want it in.

Then you sit back and wait for some human to "approve your request".

In my case this took 24 hours.

In this time I literally could have walked (not driven) down to the local computer store, bought a computer, pushed it back to my house in a shopping cart, spent a few hours configuring it and still be left with 16 hours to have a sleep, eat and do some other things.

AWS quota system is so far from "scalable" and "elastic" that it's effectively useless. You can't design any sort of infrastructure around that sort of quota system.

I dumped AWS at that point. Mind you, Azure has exactly the same quota system.

Seriously, just rent a server from Ionos or Hetzner or get a fast Internet connection and self host. It's faster and better and cheaper than any of the big clouds.
This might be one of the more interesting articles I've read in a few years that deal with low level direct DOM manipulation vs "yet another thing about React".
No. Sweet tea (obviously) always has added sugar, but iced tea may be sweetened or unsweetened. Restaurants that serve it may offer sweetened or unsweetened, or may offer only unsweetened (sometimes styled "unsweet"), with sugar packets to sweeten it yourself if you so choose. It's rarely (but not never—typically only when bottled, though, this is basically never an option at a restaurant that offers cups of the stuff) offered with artificial sweetener included, but some people add their own to unsweetened iced tea. Restaurants and drive-throughs often have both sugar and one or more artificial sweeteners available, in packets.

Old-school restaurants, and especially diners, may have a mid-sized glass jar[0] of sugar with a metal lid and little metal flap on it (that flips up if you tip it, allowing some sugar out) left on the table, mainly used to sweeten coffee and iced tea. This is getting less common, in favor of little trays of sweetener packets, but you still see it sometimes. Used to be very common, 1990s and earlier.

True sweet tea (huge in the South, i.e. the part of the country that seceded during the Civil War, but much less ubiquitous outside it) is incredibly unhealthy. It contains more dissolved sugar than is easily achievable in room-temp-or-lower water/tea, by adding it during the boil, same as how you can super-concentrate sugar in water when making simple syrup (though it doesn't go that far) and it retains that sugar even when it's refrigerated. Sweetened iced tea has a much broader range of sugar levels, and may be relatively healthy, with only a little sugar, or very sugary.

Outside of the South, you'll often get sweetened iced tea if you ask for "sweet tea". It's fairly uncommon to see the real thing in Northern or Western restaurants. This sometimes leads to confusion, with non-Southerners going to the South and ordering sweet tea and getting something offensively sweet compared to what they're used to, or Southerners ordering it elsewhere and being disappointed with what they're served.

Casino chips. Actually worse than casino chips because at the end of the day you can't even redeem them for real money and go home.

The game is simple - create magic tokens, create "stable" magic chips. Wash trade tokens with magic chips, pump the price to moon. Lure naive idiots and unload magic tokens for real money. Laugh all the way to the bank while telling suckers to keep holding till eternity.
If its helpful i have found that i am a better version of myself around only certain people, and i dont know why. On paper i wouldnt pick them to bring it out, and cant explain it. In practice i think that means keep dating, and believe that when you find people you mutually click with, hanging out becomes mutually fulfilling.

But it takes a lot of false starts, effort, and a few tries per person to figure out. That is daunting, but also each time a click happens you have a potentially lifelong friend and you only need a few for a lifetime of fulfillment. Getting rejected even 100 times is a small price to pay for that.

The world is very big, i guarantee we all have folks we click with. Just dont try to over rationalize the reasons, or overly constrain where you look.

It is kind of wrong. What matters is the force impacted upon the person (their acceleration), not momentum. Basically, change in velocity over time is what really matters, but because momentum is conserved, it influences what the total change in velocity is.

I have a WireGuard VPN with about 250 devices, most of them POS machines in the wild. I adopted WireGuard for our first machines about half a year before the 1.0 release, so there weren't much tools yet.

I piggybacked onto the original configuration file format and built myself https://github.com/WolleTD/wg-setup, which helps me validating the correctness and uniqueness of new entries, hacks names into the entries and even updates an internal DNS zone.

I really don't have to care much for key rotation, though. As most of the devices are out of our control anyway, they aren't allowed to connect to anything inside the VPN. It's just for us to connect to them.
> Humans adapt to changing technology rather than technology advancing to support humans.

I suppose this is half of the truth. The way I see it, it's a feedback loop: people develop technology for reasons, technology ends up transforming societies well beyond predictions or intentions of the inventors, which leads to new problems requiring new technologies, ... rinse repeat.

My current belief is that something I heard labeled as "technological determinism" holds at the high level: culture is primarily driven by economic incentives, like water flowing down and around a landscape; development of technology is one of the primary ways this landscape changes. Technology and economics are in tight feedback loop. Culture just follows, perhaps occasionally influencing the economics/technology feedback loop.

I'm not holding that belief strongly. It's just that so far, I've seen plenty of evidence for it - i.e. social transformations that were inevitable given the economical and technological landscape, and human nature - while I can't think of a single case of social progress that was independent of the economics, and solely conditioned on critical mass of people making an ethics-driven decision.
I think it's the wrong article (pun semi-intended), HTMX is a future. React is a future. Svelte is a future. Even Angular is a future. They all have their specific strengths which define where they are more applicable.

There's no "the future" in this area, because demands are very different; a heavily interactive SPA like GMail or Jira has requirements unlike an info page that needs a few bits of interactivity, etc.
It’s a bit of legwork, but it’s there.

Aw, it is its own hype machine.
This technique can be added on to any encoder–decoder Transformer model post-training, so the added training difficulties you mention don't apply. It honestly is a very interesting approach to me – the main issue I see (which they discuss in the paper) is in pure latency. If you're using a large enough vector database, it will be on the CPU, and transferring hidden states from GPU to CPU and then the embeddings back from CPU to GPU is going to eat up a ton of time.

EVs need very little complicated maintenance. At this point, batteries and electric motors are a rock-solid technology.

So you're left with occasional minor maintenance for mechanical issues like broken door handles or jammed windows, and also with interior cleaning.

Even this can in future be minimized by building a taxi-only car model. You can get rid of the steering wheel, instrument cluster, central console, and all the complicated plastic parts that go with all of this. You can just replace everything with durable and easily washable hard plastic, like seats on public transit.

Then make seats easily removable, and the interior becomes straightforward to clean (heck, you can even automate it).

I don’t know that that’s GP’s assertion at all.

I feel similarly re: Java and Ruby. But I also love Rust which relies on static types and one of the strictest compilers in existence.

But there’s something I can’t quite put my finger on where—yeah—Java and Golang (in my mind) force me into a boxed-in world where I’m not trusted to make good decisions about abstractions, but Rust and Ruby encourage me to do so.

As far as I know, actual features are mostly mentioned as points of differentiation from other SUVs. The overall marketing slant has primarily been emotionally-driven stuff about being bigger, tougher, more independent/adventurous, etc. than people who drive conventional passenger cars (e.g. notice the general shift in tone and emphasis in the compilation at [1]). It was a big enough trend that The Simpsons lampooned it in 1998, complete with a jingle sung by Hank Williams Jr. [2].

Yeah I hope Waymo expands soon out to Mesa/Gilbert area where I am. My wife has never driven in the 20 years we’ve been together. Fortunately we live within a 5-10 minute walk of an intersection with multiple grocery stores, lots of restaurants and medical offices but it would be nice for her to be able to go beyond that bubble without my help. She feels bad about using Uber for 2 mile drives (even though she tips well) but wouldn’t feel bad about using a self driving for those purposes.

Ebay used to have an engineering limit on the number of items in their indexes so they couldn’t grow and had to increase fees instead to keep the item count down, I don’t know if they still have that limit, I haven’t been paying attention. It meant they ended up with a focus on very high margin crap, Amazon is now going the same way because they can and it makes a lot of money.

Maybe with more listings eBay can lower their fees so that low margin items are able to be sold. And maybe with some competition between the two there might be a reduction of fees and a return to quality. Sadly I don’t think eBay is competing effectively, their website still sucks and I can’t get anything resembling an invoice for taxes, maybe it’s there but I haven’t seen it, I don’t use eBay very often.

When someone says they're "green" but hard-core antinuclear I just stop listening after that. They have done almost zero research on the topic and have 99% likely just decided because someone told them it was bad. Nuclear is our only viable path if we plan on keeping a dependable power grid. Battery tech is not currently up to par with what we need to make wind and solar 100% solutions. We need at least a 10X increase in storage density and longevity for that. They should absolutely be part of the mix though as they're cheaper than nuclear per kW

> I've tried to make my schedule Fri-Mon as much as possible. While I'm on reserve, I don't actually fly all that much, so I even get some weekends off.

Just trying to understand: when you say "make my schedule Fri-Mon as much as possible", is that for your 'primary' computer-y job or your moonlighting piloting job? How you do prevent conflicts?

Can you 'dictate' the availability for your pilot job? Wouldn't airlines want people that were reliably available rather than 'part-timers'? Or do they like having a pool of 'spares' to fill in gaps for short notice unavailability?
The present flock of LLMs is not exactly good at that whole "stick to the rules" thing beyond surface compliance. GPT-4 was touted as a significant improvement in that regard, but 1) it was jailbroken within days, and 2) most of the methods used to do so still work today.
Also, I felt that Amazon was playing sketchy little games with spot instances.

It's not impossible but quite technically challenging to find out how much you are actually paying for a spot instance.

It felt really dodgy to me that I might have started a spot instance thinking I was paying the minimum listed rate but somewhere amongst the formulas and terms and conditions AWS actually decided I would be paying maximum rate.

They don't actually tell you up front what your spot instance are costing, no doubt it would not be hard for them to do so, but it seems a deliberate strategy to hide this information.

It's just not worth the game playing when self hosting or renting a server from Ionos is cheaper and takes away the uncertainty.
The "Black Twitter" on Mastodon story needs a nuance. It's not them receiving racist remarks on Mastodon (although surely that might happen too), it's mostly about tone policing.

Mastodon's culture is safetysm, toxic positivity, put a content warning on everything. Some experience that as discouraging or even erasure.
The "weaker regulations" are primarily CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) regulations, which were intended to limit gasoline usage to prevent dependency on foreign imports after the oil shock in the 1970s. EVs don't use imported fossil fuels, so CAFE regulations don't make sense. We just need to keep increasing the fraction of locally produced, renewable energy supplying the grid.
One of the best things about eBay compared to other market places like Amazon and Aliexpress, is that their search operators include not just AND (space) but also OR (comma separated values inside parentheses) and NOT (minus) but more importantly - eBay's search engine respects the supported operators and denoting which items are search results and which are suggested/similar.

This cannot be said about Amazon, Aliexpress, both which intentionally (I guess) mix similar items with results that match the search query.

I hope that eBay keep those two things distinct.
I’m very aware of both progressions and how common they both are in popular music. But it’s not at all the case that Axis of Comedy “just took the first four chords of the progression for simplicity’s sake.” Only the first 3 chords are shared, and the fourth chords have very different harmonic functions and are not at all interchangeable. I’m not sure if you’re just making a clerical error by missing the fact that the fourth chords are different, since you even typed out the Canon in D chords in your previous comment, but I assure you the fourth chords are quite different.

The progressions are nothing close to identical or interchangeable or “derivative of each other.” Not that it matters, but I’m quite sure David Bennett (I’m guessing you’re a fan) would settle this disagreement in my favor.

Edit: okay, I just saw your edit

> are the same progressions, and any progression in 4/4 beginning with I-V-vi-x no matter what the last chord is, is the same.

I’m gathering that you saw the section of the David Bennett video about variations and somehow made the mistaken leap that it’s “the same progression” regardless of what the fourth chord is. This is certainly not the case. Note that in all those variations you pasted, the fourth chord is the third scale degree. You cannot conclude therefore that the fourth chord doesn’t matter at all and doesn’t affect the nature of the progression.
There were many other independent to semi independent nations in India then who agreed to join India due to various forms of pressure. E.g. south Kerala Travancore was a princely state where the king gave up the throne and joined India, Bhutan was a princely state and became an independent kingdom. What makes Kashmir special. It could've stayed independent and gotten destroyed I guess. Who knows, speculative history.

I agree, although to be fair magical thinking was often the only explanation people had for why things happened. It is inexplicable now because we have much better explanations. So an element of ceremony may have been mixed into other things like fun. And we still hold onto things like that which have an element of pleasure or fun whilst having some other abstract ideas. Just look at Easter or Christmas.
In the age of transformers , lets ask a transformer to summarize this paper:

The Unlimiformer paper is about a new way to make computer programs that can summarize really long pieces of text. Normally, when you ask a computer program to summarize something, it can only handle a certain amount of text at once. But with Unlimiformer, the program can handle as much text as you want!

The way Unlimiformer works is by using a special technique called a "k-nearest-neighbor index" to help the program pay attention to the most important parts of the text. This makes it possible for the program to summarize even really long documents without losing important information.

Overall, Unlimiformer is an exciting new development in natural language processing that could make it easier for computers to understand and summarize large amounts of text.

I think it’s tough to blame Amazon here. p4d server hardware costs around 100k and they were almost certainly having countless hours of use on these by stolen aws accounts and credit cards. This doesn’t excuse the requirement to specify region and instance types in advance. The region part at least can be explained by the fact that Amazon tries to make regions as independent as possible.

No. You specifically order "sweet" or "unsweet" tea in the South (or "half and half" if you want sweet but not cloying). Anywhere else, I would expect that sweet tea would be unavailable.

Note: this does not apply to bottled/canned teas, which are usually close to "half and half" in sweetness.

Most restaurants here serve soft drinks from a fountain rather than individual cans/bottles, so refills are free. If a restaurant uses individual containers for service, you will have to pay for refills. However, iced tea has free refills everywhere I've ever seen.
