To be fair, the fact that I worked in game development for a while makes the typical rasterization inaccuracies stick out like a sore thumb to me. Kind of like once you see it, you can't unsee it.

And there's also a bit of knowing where to look at, what kind of scenes and weather types benefit the most, and so on. If you have someone point out the differences, on specific scenes, even the most casual observer will notice the huge improvements[1]. However if you boot up a random scene, it may look very similar.

I personally find k8s to be much simpler to use.

Both are complex internally, k8s does a better job of preventing that complexity from leaking IMO.

You need to know roughly the same amount of things to use both.

On k8s to deploy something simple you will need:

1. A deployment to actually run your app.

2. A service describe how to talk to your app.

3. An ingress to route requests to the service.

On Lambda w/API Gateway:

1. Lambda Function

2. IAM Role

3. API Gateway objects (Deployment, RestApi, Stage)

More if you expand out the policies and API gateway objects.
These become -really- burdensome if you are using IaC like Pulumi or Terraform.

In practice using k8s these days is essentially managed also, ale GKE/EKS/AKS so the real differences are down to:

1. API, the FaaS etc ones are proprietary, k8s is standardized.

2. Runtime environment and execution limits, varies by FaaS, k8s has none.

3. Access to durable storage, FaaS only object/HTTP based storage, you can attach EBS-like to your k8s containers.

4. Architecture incentives. FaaS highly incentivises microservices, k8s isn't really opinionated. FaaS is more like cgi-bin on steroids, k8s is daemons on a box but with fancy management.

5. Scaling. FaaS scale "infinitely", k8s scales depending on settings of cluster autoscaler.

So generally you get as good or better from k8s, the API complexity is about the same except now it's standard no lock-in, no enforced runtime limits, you have durable containers so you can attach a debugger, etc.

Hopefully this shows a bit why I think k8s is at least as simple as serverless if not more simple.
I am probably missing the point from lack of understanding of Linear Regression, but in the first example the Prolog code doesn't make sure the gradients are the same, which means the Python code must be spitting out segments only within each linear grpah section. So isn't the Python code doing the actually hard work of separating the sections and the Prolog code doing a lot of work to find the cutoff points?

If so, would sorting the segments by start position first make it much easier? Start at the far left, go right merging the overlapping ones until there's one which doesn't overlap?

(Please don't name the graph axes X,Y and then use (X,Y) in the code for things which aren't X,Y data points - anything wrong with sticking to (I1, I2)? Why use "R" for span length? And what's "A"? And nitpick "(I1, I2)" is not a tuple in Prolog, it's a term and "I1-I2" is a more idiomatic and fewer parens term which can be used in the same way. It's what the imported pairs library uses, for example - https://www.swi-prolog.org/pldoc/doc/_SWI_/library/pairs.pl )

Here is an article that does a better job of explaining how this will increase the amount of federal taxes paid by businesses in California:

It might be a bit difficult to navigate this site if you don’t know the intricate details of material sub-types - you’ll probably recognize the top-level categories and then get stumped by the subcategories (hybrid austenitic-ferritic wrought cold finished…? ).

> With an unpaid federal unemployment insurance loan, the federal government raises the unemployment insurance tax immediately by 0.3 percent on each business within the state, and an additional 0.3 percent each year after that until the loan is fully repaid.

Yikes.
Isn't that obvious?

The point was one might not want to go to Tutanota in the first place and rather go to another provider instead of going to another provider after a switch.
This is the same typed vs. untyped argument which is as old as vi vs. emacs. Different devs have different requirements and preferences. Neither is "wrong". Some people are just naturally anal retentive pedants who must know their code is correct while writing it, even if it means downloading 500mb of build tools and requiring a jury rigged non-standard transpilation step for it to run. The fact that there's not a single example of a well written non-bloated open source project that uses TypeScript won't put them off, and that's perfectly OK! To each their own! Having yet another flame war about it, no matter how deluded many devs are, is just unproductive.
With role play, if it refuses to do something against its policy, you can keep prompting it then tell it to continue on and then it will “remember” the stuff you told it which it originally denied and incorporate it into the new message. Very easy to make ChatGPT get very explicit, or hateful, etc.
Well, it seems like you've already given shameless feedback that does nothing to help the product's reputation.

In the real world, where not everyone has access to investment and the privilege of having a network of valuable contacts, something people deliberately do is ask friends and acquaintances for help to leverage your own product.
Exactly, not everything needs scale.

For a low traffic, low use system, lambda + dynamo might just be the cheapest and easiest to implement and maintain.

And there are generally more of those type of systems.

I'm confused - I thought California had a record $100B budget surplus just last year?

Yes democracy is a good idea. The idea that the people govern themselves.

Now we can discuss how well the so called democracies of our time implement the idea. For example, the pavlovian association of election = democracies has always left me perplexed.
At this point, F!@# California’s dystopian mismanagement on just about everything, and I wish we could investigate them all for criminal irresponsibility. It’s at the point where it is indistinguishable from actual malice.
Lmao, OpenAI is the bigger threat here than some random dude who made an extension.
Yes, this is a popular approach.

To me the intractable part is we still rely on either

- A: content creators to properly/genuinely tag their content

- B: a central entity to tag each content

To clear the simple case, the B route is basically akin to the white listing efforts we have now, and going PICS or not doesn't look to me bring much to the table. If anything, PICS needs more management on the individual side than the current MDM approach where for instance, the school admins have a whitelist of sites available from within the school network.

Going the A route, we still hit every moderation issue ever met by a user generated content system has. The question becomes, is the PICS system better than a bespoke filtering system ?

I'm not sure, because:

Depending on the site I'll probably want different options (I might want exceptions to the "no sex" filtering on medical discussion sites for instance).

The site would be offering very tailored and specific options that would be set to reasonable values by default; site specific apparently could be implemented in PICS, but then I'd have to manage them in the PICS options of my browser, and I might have no idea what half of them even mean, when the site would have in context information on exactly what these options do.

As funny as it is, having the filtering options bound to accounts instead of the browser could yield better results. I could have "personas" depending on what I intend to look for, which would be a pain with browsers (especially site by site).

All in all, I have the feeling it's complicated either way, and PICS trying to be clever and simple brings different pitfalls by being the intermediary.
What does this mean for those holding CA municipal bonds and bond funds?
Yeah. I was trying to do something like render a scene and encode it on-GPU before sending it to disk. Unfortunately, there’s no way to give FFMPEG video textures afaict so even if it uses hw decode, you’re copying the full pixel buffer data twice instead of the drastically smaller encoded frame once (or at least there’s no mechanism exposed that the JS ecosystem can make use of which relies on command-line ffmpeg)

Most people's computers don't have "real workloads" in that sense because a lot of things aren't CPU bound.
> Look, the point is simple, AWS marketing says you can do everything all the time with microservices and their 'DevOps' infrastructure to "abstract away" all the complex you know - engineering - that you cannot automate effectively and have a long running robust system.

As someone who knows a little bit about what AWS recommends to customers when first hand, I can absolutely guarantee you that AWS does not recommend serverless to everyone.

The vast majority of projects that consultants do by revenue at any cloud consulting company (including AWS’s own internal company) is regular old VMs.

That's a different discussion and frankly not something for developers to decide. If a product is designed to behave and look a certain way, then as an engineer you have the job of determining the best way to accomplish that objective. If your decision is to forgo using CSS for an alternative, fine but no one has provided what that alternative is.

I'd much rather use CSS instead of Javascript or going back to the days of hacking <table> to get a certain layout.

But the woke states make all the money?
> California recorded a nearly $100 billion state budget surplus last year, thanks to the state’s top earners, that could have been used to repay the debt. The state received $27 billion in federal COVID aid it could have used to repay the debt. The state’s record $300 billion–plus 2022–23 budget could have retired the debt. Even after defaulting, the state could have resumed its payments this year and offset the tax burden on businesses, as it planned to do in its 2023–24 budget. But as the state’s finances continue to decline, the state has walked back making payments or offsetting higher business federal unemployment insurance taxes.

Idk what California's argument is for why they aren't paying

Passkeys are half baked as implemented and rolled out by apple and Google.

Personally, I will never use them until apple and gooqgle can explain what the implications are across all their services and all my devices.

For example, say I switch to passkeys for my Google login. How do I login to YouTube on my Roku device?

If I buy into apple passkeys how do I log in to apple music on android?

The answer to the above will always be via passwords.

Personally I want one passkey for Google and one for apple on my yubikey and that's it and password backup for limited devices with password backup for login.

The author is correct that requiring the cloud is asking for tons of trouble, but people that say they have to dig yubikeys out of a drawer are not yubikey users. Yubikey users attach them to Keychains or wallets because they ACTUALLY use them and keep backups of them.

Personally, I think Apple's 2 factor is a joke and likely dangerous. I dont trust Google to not screw up passkeys either.
This is not eBNF. That is something completely different.
I've been building Usage Panda: https://usagepanda.com/

My thesis is that lots of companies are going to want to enable OpenAI for their teams, but they'll need a way to do it safely/securely. Usage Panda acts as a proxy (either cloud or self-hosted) to enforce policies on these API calls before they're sent to OpenAI, so you can do neat things like cost monitoring, rate limiting, data redaction, etc.

It's not actually an _AI_ product (in that it doesn't use AI itself), but I'm building it to support AI usage, so hopefully that counts!
Indeed it does. Most of the ray/path tracing happens in screen space.
Critical heat flux diagnosis using conditional generative adversarial networks
GKE at least used to be a bit better, but that’s only worth so much compared to the rest of the services where you’ll frequently find feature gaps where you end up adding a +1 to an issue which has been open for years, and building your own service (yay, more toil). There’s some room for debate on security depending on exactly what features you use and what your needs are but if you use GCP, I’ll just note that Google gave all of your compute instances privileged access to your entire project and you should fix that that immediately if you haven’t already done so.

I’d also note that it used to be fairly comparable on pricing but they’ve been raising prices on some things which I noticed meant a cost savings migrating away.

Incorrect FUD from the Hoover Institution, as usual.

California borrowed money from the federal government on behalf of CA businesses to make unemployment payments out of the state unemployment fund due to the massive layoffs in the early days of the COVID lockdowns. CA did not increase the state UI payments to cover these massively increased costs (as this would have been a permanent increase in rates) and instead chose to have it repaid by businesses in the form of a reduction of FUTA credits until the borrowed debt is paid off.

The total comes out to about $21/employee for affected businesses. Despite the Hoover Institution's fearmongering, and the Republican opinion piece in the OC Register linked to elsewhere in these comments, not all CA businesses are affected.
Thanks. The Hoover Institution is... controversial [1], so I was hoping for another source. Although the link you have here is an opinion piece from a Republican congressperson, so I'm going to keep looking for something more neutral.

I haven't really done a whole lot with Vulkan yet but this really makes me curious if Vulkan could ever find itself as an alternative to VAAPI on Linux in some cases. Vulkan for compute purposes already seems like a pretty compelling idea, as it is, but in both cases I wonder, but was unable to ascertain an answer with a cursory glance, if it is possible today or maybe will ever be possible, to expose devices to Vulkan that are not GPUs (like compute accelerators.) Perhaps it's not even really a good idea :) The case is probably stronger for compute devices a la OpenCL, since at least for video, if you're targeting Linux anyways, it seems like you could use dma-bufs to pass buffers between Vulkan and VA-API and other stuff. Still, it does inspire curiosity.

A cursory search did seem to suggest encoding was supported as well as decoding in Vulkan, which is very cool.

There's a weird bit of editorialization in this article: it implies that employers wouldn't know that they'd be on the hook for unemployment deficits, despite it being an explicit part of a pretty-well trodden piece of federal law.

The article also conspicuously omits the actual amount that employers will have to pony up per employee, because "a maximum of $21" isn't quite as eye-popping as $18.5 billion[1].

The article levies some accusations of guilt / negligence at the state of California, but appears to have zero reflection about even possible causes.

WHY was so much fraud possible during the pandemic (and possibly other times) in the first place. Is it possible this is because the departments responsible are normally understaffed and when handling a pandemic surge had zero ability to scale up? Is this a budget or law codification issue?

The article did mention a recent surplus, but didn't talk about any reasons it might have not not been allocated to paying off this federal loan. My cynic side suppositions it might be one of the only ways the state can effectively raise taxes overall.
I'm confused as to how California is both running a surplus and apparently short on money. I would have thought those were opposite financial conditions.
