If I'm reading the docs right (TBH - I'm probably not) it looks like on a z16 you can get 200 cores and 40TB of Memory on a single "VM" (LPAR).

So 1/100th of the CPU and 40% of the RAM. (I suspect the RAM comparison is reasonable - I'm not sure about how to compare the CPU's).

No matter where a company is located some percentage of people will have lousy commutes. People buy houses then change jobs. Spouses have jobs a long way in the opposite direction. Commuting into a city is probably going to be bad if you don't live in the city. And so forth. Around major cities, a "good" commute is probably still a good 30 minutes.

Also, which is the ad hominem? Well, my comment surely is, it pulls no punches. As for ravenstine, he says that "besides rare exceptions" "it's no like that for everyone" (okay? say something or don't) doing heavy sofware dev after the old age of 29 makes you:

> For political reasons, to avoid supporting DRM.

This is very much a practical reason as well, though this overlaps with "not available in a usable form". DRM is the reason I can't watch movies at the highest bitrates and resolutions on my device from Netflix or Amazon. It's the reason I can't trust that things I purchase will be available to me indefinitely. It's the reason I can't build a collection of media (e.g. with Kodi) that is playable on my TV with one click with a single unifying interface.

> The product is not offered for sale.

This extends to some other cases as well. For instance, where the only available version is a crappy remaster (Terminator 2), and the original is much superior. Or if you want to watch the film with a director's commentary.

There's also, very broadly, a 4th reason - convenience. This encompasses both ease of use (if I know what movie I want to watch, I don't have to search to see where it's streaming), and discoverability (a good torrent site will easily let you see all the movies by a director or actor, and provide recommendations). Or if you're looking for a particular special feature, it's much more convenient to be able to download it than to go looking for a physical media copy and wait for it to be shipped to your door.

Kubernetes is hard because the actual use case is for companies AND products MUCH larger than 90% of what it is used for.
There’s a long running conflict between people who believe in “competent” vs “incompetent” elites.

The truth is that sometimes elites are competent and sometimes they are not or they are competent at some things and incompetent at other things. Events can change perception rapidly. The Russian Armed Forces were the object of fear two years ago, today they look like a paper tiger because Russia screwed up.

It’s an entirely different question of what motivates people to stick to the “competent” or “incompetent” position categorically.
There's an interesting startup company out of Shanhui Fan's group at Stanford that is commercializing something like this -- SkyCool Systems. Their panels radiate in the 8-13µm region (the mid-infrared atmospheric window, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_window) and are used to increase the efficiencies of HVAC systems. They claim efficiency gains of 10-40% as an add-on, and more if the cooling requirement can be handled solely with their panels. https://www.skycoolsystems.com/technology/

You mean the ones trained off the artists art without permission, unlike Adobe's offering?

I know a lot of graphic designers that looked at that and hated it because of the fact that they took stuff without permission.

I don't know a single artist who was happy with that. The AI generation wasn't the issue. It was the training source.

I'm not an artist, and I'm also aware of the many failings of Adobe, but you really missed what the issue was.
After a ton of research I got an AccuCheck scale (~$30 on Amazon) which I'm happy with, and at least avoids most of the problems with modern digital scales. Clean minimalist look. Takes 3 AAA batteries.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084SFRSBD/

It claims 0.1 lb accuracy, and seems pretty repeatable, but I haven't tested it for accuracy. These digital scales have multiple sensors (this one has 4), so it makes sense that individual sensors may give different readings as you shift your weight around - not sure if there's an exact science to combining the 4 readings into the single one that is displayed.
sure, my bad!
I mean, practically speaking most people in climbing gyms are humble and open to others. But there are always individuals in any positive environment who will over-extrapolate the good elements into gatekeepiness and virtue signaling.

I don’t think it’s fair to judge a community based on its vocal negative elements. As you see other people in this thread commenting, many of whom presumably work in tech, they haven’t had any issues with it.

I think many people generally have issues with tech companies, and some subset of that group boil it down to people and act accordingly. Some of them climb and bring it to the gym. Climbing culture has counterculture roots, which is more correlated with the view, but climbing is a pretty mainstream sport at this point.

From the released note:

Hold your horses. Calling these devices "bots" is a bit of a stretch:

> The team makes its microrobots out of materials called biocompatible polymers using a technology similar to 3D printing. The machines look a bit like small rockets and come complete with three tiny fins. They also include a little something extra: Each of the robots carries a small bubble of trapped air, similar to what happens when you dunk a glass upside-down in water. If you expose the machines to an acoustic field, like the kind used in ultrasound, the bubbles will begin to vibrate wildly, pushing water away and shooting the robots forward.

So it's essentially a small device that can be pushed around by an external field rather than an actual autonomous robot.

But a tiny bot sure sounds more exciting than "remote-controllable dust".
A program on the bus without internet access so this is just perfect. I often download whole websites for this reason or bit better you can print pages off as PDF documents.
I think both are important. Word of mouth is useful and important but no one would use google to search to buy stuff if that was the only way to reach customers.

Also, if your established it probably a good idea not to let new competitors get a foot hold in the market with an easy google win.

It's also pretty effective for local businesses because not a lot of local businesses are tech savvy enough use it effectively.

It's just basic economics. India and China have a bigger leverage, it would be stupid of them to not use it.

I mean, what's the alternative explanation of why India increased the Russian oil imports tenfold? It's not because of good will, it's because India can suddenly import Russian oil much cheaper than before. Why does Russia sell oil cheaper to India? Because it won't find another such big customer.

Blame the Twitter algorithm.

There are courses about "how to go viral on Twitter" that work, because the algo is so cookie-cutter and easily gamed. Back in 2022, it was the "collect list of useful links, add 5 of them to a tweet at a time, and make it a viral thread with that annoying finger pointing down emoji"
It's a little telling that saying that a particular cesspool of the the internet is inhospitable to some people is responded to with talk about free speech. I didn't bring it up, just said it's not for me.

It was developed to solve Google’s problems and not developed to solve the problem of other organizations. It was better than the half-baked attempts Docker made at container orchestration and for whatever reason no real competitor has emerged. It doesn’t have the usual forces acting on it that cause products to bend to the needs of their (ex. Google) users.

I like this product vision

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Parallel_Sysplex

which takes a very opinionated approach to the problem of distributed systems circa 1995, particularly in that it revolves around centralized timekeeping and synchronization services that are high performance for “small” clusters (two racks worth of machines) but not scalable to the absurdly large clusters that Google, Facebook and a handful of other companies need. It adds up to something that is refreshingly manageable even if the documentation is full of idiosyncratic vocabulary.

Since Google is primarily a surveillance advertising company, it sadly means that AI will be used to surveil and advertise to people. Ad content (and "editorial" content) can be chosen by an AI based on your surveillance profile.

Google will sell these features to advertisers as "better matching" their customer profiles, but in reality surveillance advertising isn't any more effective than the older, anonymous kind. Companies like Google and Facebook act as a tax on the market, forcing any serious players to come to them and pay the advertising tax. Both companies will use AI to try and continue to stay in those monopoly roles.

There's range of functionality in software technology, i.e. some new framework, may have been outputed fully developed and internally debugged for years in some startup, or you could have a really almost not even a production level software, just uploaded to github.

In most projects, many unmatured software is being used just because works for some specific task, nowadays.

With that in mind, it is easy to hyphotetize that many projects are already using LLMs internally. Not always for good deeds, easily, one of the most and best use cases, is to use LLMs to command & control distributed malware.

So there you go, it maybe possible that some beta level of intelligent malware is already roaming the Internet right now. We'll know for sure in some years from now (the usual time for advanced malware to be discovered is somewhat 2-3 years after it has been took it to production).
You can static import Arrays.sort, so the second option could work.
Of course you are, you just don't like systems engineering and that's fine. Someone's gotta build on top of the systems too. To you it's the boring stuff. To a systems engineer, you might do the boring stuff. We all complement each other well.
The problem with the AI generated images is that it's abundant and anything abundant doesn't have a market value.

So, if an artist's work makes 100$ per work an AI system which can generate the same quality work but 1,000,000 pieces a day this won't end up the AI system generating 100 million dollars a day.

It will simply rise the bar for artists instead. Which is a good thing for the society as a whole because the baseline will be very good and the work of the talented artists will be highly valued.

Adobe can eat the market of mediocre artists if they are the only one with this technology so they can control the output rate and create artificial scarcity. They are not the only one with this technology.

Exhaustive checking and locking down the base type if you don't want anyone else to extend it beyond your choices of subtypes, unless there's a way I don't know about to lock down extending to inside your binary while letting others ask for any types that references it.

There's a secondary benefit though if they allow DUs of Structs where you can have it be on the stack as a single value based on the size of the largest subtype that could be incredibly useful when you are worried about performance. Inheritance does not do that.

These are my thoughts too. As I’ve used it more I’ve begun to scrutinize it more and I have a larger and larger history of when it doesn’t work like magic. Although it works like magic often as well.

We’ve also had time to find its limits and verify of falsify early assumptions, which were very likely positive.

You probably don't have access. I'm not sure what the exact access requirements are - I think you either have to be a GPT Plus subscriber, have contributed code to an OpenAI repo on github, or be on one of their lists of researchers.

> Err... I did look through the V-Dem 2023 Democracy report (56 pages), read several parts at length and looked at the four (4) mentions of Australia and while I agree that many parts of the world are backsliding to what is described as 1985 global democracy levels ... there is no mention there that Australia is one of those parts sliding back and indeed is rated there as on the world's more democratic nations (#11 of 190+ countries)

If Australia is declining "like many other countries" as the PP said, then it might not be called out specifically. You can go to their graphing tools like https://v-dem.net/data_analysis/VariableGraph/ (this one focuses on a particular measure and shows you how it changes over time in different countries), enter the measure you want (for this I looked at "liberal democracy index") and some group of countries. I entered Australia and the G7 countries, and while there does seem to be a peak maybe 10-20 years ago for them all, it could easily be some artifact. On this basis, I would hardly agree with PP that there is a declining trend in Australia.

Btw - once you've selected an indicator, you can click its name (white on dark grey) the box under the box under the graph and find information on it. In this case, it tells you it's an aggregate of liberal and polyarchy. Those in turn are also aggregates but it comes back to expert survey data. With survey data, you probably need to change the scale to original scale because otherwise the values in the graph won't correspond to the description in the text.
