Oh, good point. Yeah, that'd need to double the ram if they're going to use 4GB ram per SMT core. :)

Doing that moves the cost up to €165.80 for 64 SMT cores with 256GB ram for a full month.

(Note - I've updated those prices as I previously forgot to set the region to "US" for the Hetzner pricing thing)

--

Lets see if my math is working today. ;)

€165.80 / 64 cores = 2.5906 per core, per month

Using 720 hours a month for our purposes, that's €0.0036 per core hour.

--

Use xe.com to do pricing conversion, that €165.80 is US$179.79.

So, $179.79 / 64 cores = $2.809 per core, per month

Using 720 hours a month for our purposes, that's US$0.0039 per core hour.

So, about a fifth of the price of $.02/core-hour.
how different is it then from libgen?
Glad to see this here! I've been looking forward to being able to participate on something concrete.
Making the argument that customers should have had their own engineers conduct an assessment if they wanted safety is definitely a solid plan if your goal is to be torn to sheds by the judge/jury.
A more interesting question to me is how much people think West African countries owe ancestors of USAmericans who were sold to be transported? Should the bill be bigger or smaller because most (?) didn't survive?
> We are now in a war where both sides – Ukraine and the West on one side and Russia on the other – see each other as an existential threat that must be defeated.

I think this is exaggerating a little bit. Ukraine (of course) "only" wants to get all its occupied territories back, which sounds reasonable. Plus reparations for the damage caused, and to join NATO to prevent this from happening again. Which would however be unacceptable for Putin, who has set off to conquer the whole of Ukraine and would end up with thousands of soldiers killed and less territory than he started out with. So, even if the goal is not "total defeat", still not going to happen...

I don't think of it as a failure. The LLM figured out a reasonable interpretation for a term it did not know. It might be better to come back with "do you mean pure ptolemaic major third?" instead of assuming, but the way it does it now might be better for programmatic requests.
I have no reason to believe that stevia increases the risk of cancer, but I'm afraid that arguing it is likely to be safe because it "coevolved" with humans is basically falling into the naturalistic fallacy with extra steps.

For stevia to be arguably safer due coevolution with humans, the following would need to be true:

1. There is a selective pressure for stevia to not increase the risk of cancer in humans.

2. There is a selective pressure on humans to not have an increased risk of cancer from consuming stevia.

In other words, it is firstly to argue that a stevia plant which had a tendency to increase cancer risk in humans would be significantly less likely to reproduce. This effect would be hard enough even if the hypothetical carcinogen were to be otherwise selectively neutral, but it could have a selectively positive pressure if it were an essential hormone or defence against insects, pathogens, competitors, etc.

Secondly, it is to argue that if stevia were potentially carcinogenic, then humans that were susceptible to its effects were significantly less likely to reproduce. This fails on two levels. First, consider that even in the cut-and-dried cause of cancer that is smoking, lung cancer is still extremely rare among young smokers. Lung cancer patients are virtually always well past their reproductive age, meaning that even if a genetic mutation to be immune to tobacco were to appear (or indeed it may well already exist) then said mutation still has no selective advantage with regards to the consumption of tobacco. Second, even if a hypothetically-carcinogenic stevia[0] could exert selective pressure on humans to become unaffected by it, then that effect would only have taken place on the populations which consumed significant amounts of stevia over generations and not humanity as a whole.

[0] Which I insist, I don't believe is the case.
Weird definition of "open source".

"It's open because we violated copyright and uploaded it in the open."

Not for them. I want to improve the world by facilitating various things. For example, I want people to write more and better IMAP clients and use webmail less, so I answer IMAP questions. As it happens I know a lot about IMAP, and put that knowledge to use in a small way.

SO's business model is to make a profit by helping me do such things, and helping others do similarish things. That's a good way to earn a living.
> Russia will ultimately win the war

No it won't. Once US provides ATACMS the war will be effectively over.

Ukraine will be able to reach all corners of Crimea and the Donbas with high-precision missiles cutting off all supply lines and ground based communications. And this isn't a hypothetical situation since we've already seen what Ukraine has been doing with Storm Shadow.

The only reason US hasn't ended this earlier is because it's in their interest to drag this out and cause not only a military default for Russia but also end Putins' reign. The fact that all of the West media magically found out that Surovikin was working for Wagner indicates that there is a lot of political warfare from the US as well.
"but it's usually in the company's interest to also be training more pros"

That's not really my experience.

The reason companies hire lots of people is not because of bus factor, but because they're trying to "make 9 women give birth to a baby in 1 month".

The fact that development doesn't scale linearly is very well known to developers today, but product people barely heard of Mythical Man Month.
The only solution is to have less people use drugs so that there is less money to be made selling drugs.

How can we know he used Mongo properly or not? Choosing Mongo because you don't know SQL doesn't seem valid. Likewise, choosing Mongo because "JSON is comfortably built into Python" doesn't seem valid.

Also, that's harder to do a proper Mongo implementation than to do a SQL implementation.

At a former workplace, when I stress tested the same API with different backend databases wired to it, Mongo was faster than Postgres. But we ended up using Postgres + Redis, because that combo was even faster than Mongo.
They already do something - the oil patterns they use on the lanes is considerably different for open/league bowlers compared to competitive bowlers.

However the professional bowlers will have the skill, experience and equipment to deal with all the different oil patterns.
Wow, just watched a clip and was reminded of my time on my high schools varsity bowling team in 2001. Long story short, I was cut from the team because I used this exact technique of not putting my thumb in the hole. The coach’s verdict was “I couldn’t develop to a meaningful player who refused to learn the proper technique” and ultimately cut.

Now, I wasn’t an exceptional bowler, and I swore off bowling after that, but this article and YouTube clips bring back memories.

Note: for people with small hands like myself, it’s difficult to thumb a bowling ball in a manner that is conducive to curving the ball. As an adaptation, the “two handed approach” is a side effect of keeping the ball steady before delivery.

I mostly use my large iPad Pro as a secondary screen with Sidecar when traveling. For this, it's excellent.

I've used it for some minimal coding via Codespaces or SSH, which was fine, but as a development machine, the 13" MacBook Air is a way superior choice.
We use Mongo along Postgres and others at my workplace (backend is in .NET) and we don't have any issues with it. You just have to take into account its particularities as you have to do for any data store.
It’s called iPad PRO, if you want media consumption device iPad will do just fine.
That's the fault of the developer, not Apple. For example, Instagram hasn't ticked the box in Xcode to support the iPad screen sizes.
In this new digital age, excellent cryptocurrency innovations have emerged for Bitcoin investors. Not among the least of them is virtual casinos.

Just curious, would people here pay for a Windows native mail client focused on offering a great user experience? I work on multiple Windows projects and had in mind to create my own mail client since a while, but I’m skeptical people would pay for one given the number of free options already available (even if they all kind of suck IMHO).

Or asked another way, what would make you pay for an outlook alternative?

Lots of people I respect use Bitwarden, and it always seems to score really highly in these kinds of things. At the same time, the thought of having all my passwords protected by an open source program absolutely terrifies me. I know on some level this is irrational: closed source programs are hacked and cracked all the time, the programs themselves could be running on an open source operating system, closed source programs have had the most breaches (e.g LastPass). But I don’t know if I can get over it. I suppose the analogy is that I’m not sure I’d want to store a valuable physical item in a bank that openly posted it’s entire layout, vault, patrol details etc for all to see. Like yeah there’s something to be said for the wisdom of crowds and utilising that to make something secure, but surely it only takes one genius to come along who sees things differently, spots the flaw and exploits it? And the obfuscation of a closed source program feels like it’s an extra line of defence.

Were there any other positions on this question before and since?

Paul Erdős and Leonhard Euler likely had thoughts on this, as two extremely prolific mathematicians those opinions would be worth a gander.
> Rock stars get treated a certain way, they are catered to, their egos might get fluffed up, etc. None of those behaviors are compatible with working in software teams, and none of the "best" developers I know want to be treated that way, anyhow.

Stars are a thing, they are way beyond what the average dev can ever accomplish and they would only be held back by a team. They should be catered to and really be accountable to nobody as far as technical decisions go. Their time and energy is just too precious to be spent soothing your fragile egos. And that's not just my opinion either. That's why companies have positions like fellow, distinguished, etc.

The whole "rock-stars are toxic" is just the inability of some people to accept their limitations. Most of us are nobodies, easily replaceable code monkeys who will never accomplish anything of note. If you're of the opinion that a nice personality somehow is worth more than being excellent you are lying to yourself first and foremost. And you're not that nice anyway since you are willing to spend your time digging through stars' closets in the hope of finding any skeleton to bring them down.

Being agreeable only qualifies you to easily being worked in what are essentially sweatshops who produce crap, the subject of the article. Take note though that said sweatshops would not exist without the stars that CREATED this industry. Never in a million years, you and your team of "nice" people would have produced any of the foundations of current IT.
Increasingly, there are! Where I live (Switzerland) there is a roaring trade in non alcoholic or very low alcohol drinks. I admit none are yet as tasty to me as a good IPA, but the market clearly wants what you do. If my beer of choice was more toward lager I might even be happier.
I assume the timing patterns and amounts of data would likely be distinct between SSH and web. "Normal" SSH usage would mostly consist of much lighter packets, such as user keystrokes and terminal screenfuls of text. Typing tiny commands and getting a few kilobytes of output. SSH file transfers happen occasionally, sometimes with a large bulk of data.

Active web browsing requires downloading a crapton of files with wildly different sizes and sporadic timings between them.
Add normal user interaction, API requests, ad cycles, long video streams that won't max out all bandwidth, all happening at once across multiple tabs. The client also sends much more data with each TLS handshake and all those HTTP headers.

This could probably be masked by deliberately filling idle periods with garbage data just to appear as a stable data stream both ways.
> Buy a 100 of them and keep them with the discs.

Of course! My only concern is that plastic parts often start getting brittle after 35 years or so and might simply not survive.

In the meantime I found an alternative a solution: there exist consumer-grade 3D printers with 50um precision - hooking up a camera with a microscope in place of the nozzle should be enough to produce pictures of e.g. 100um x 100um tiles and stitching them together to get an image of the whole disc.
They can't easily do that without really risking to break the gpl. Btw, Rocky, Oracle and Alma cannot fork; their entire value proposition is being RH-compatible. What could happen is a new giant trying to displace RH as the reference Linux platform, poaching significant amounts of devs from RH. That would require years and billions of dollars though.

What method wouldn't be? Putting it to a committee would have similar problems. Writing it into a law would be too static.

Especially because the first part of determining marketshare and market power is determining the market. New markets happen all the time, with old markets dying out. Twenty years ago, smartphones wouldn't have been a market. Fifteen years ago: streaming services.

Like going back to your "Intel with x86", what is the market? x86_64 CPUs? Sure they have monopoly power. All CPUs? Now they don't have as much because they're competing with ARM too. Mobile phone CPUs? I don't think there's been a new Intel phone since the Asus Zenfone 2 (2015).
Those have 40.1% of the European union population though.
Are you also "sublinear"? Because that's who was being asked, as far as I see.

In any case, the claim that any ARM laptop before the M1 had excellent performance is new to me and I'd be interested in knowing what non-Apple ARM laptops exist that are competitive with M1/M2 Macbooks in battery life, heat generation, performance and utility for developers. I'm in the market for a new laptop.
Are you using USB cable or Wi-Fi connection for Sidecar?

On the go, I think lwith the cable it is not so practical because the cable discharges the MacBook and charges the iPad.

On the other hand, the cable connection is more stable and has less latency.

This is I think quite insightful. Looking at the current AI hype cycle, I haven't actually been that impressed with GPT and the image generation models. They just get things too wrong, too often, and too convincingly to the point that they become dangerous/harmful. There's just no way to evaluate quality.

I strongly believe the first person that figures out how to interface these language models with some kind of knowledge model or source of truth will win a lot of the pot for AI technology. Human feedback clearly helped GPT get to where it is now, but It's clearly optimized for answers that appear good rather than are good and based on known facts.

Can Everyone Take a Sabbatical
Where are your videos? Encoding is a more complicated problem in that the source and destination would impact things. Bandwidth transfer can cost more than the compute on some clouds (and impact speeds).

If it's on S3 it might still be best to use AWS EC2 in the same region.

Oracle is definitely a good choice with 10TB free tier.

Hetzner cloud likely has cheaper compute than Oracle.

Upcloud has the fastest CPU.
A great point, and I assume this sort of thing might help understand how prohibition came to America in the early 20th century. I heard a world health report once that implied that Russian men die a lot younger than they would without alcohol.
This is probably because those developers haven't added support for opening files in place, which has been available since iOS 9. There are a few other things (e.g. the way you call open/save dialogs) that need to be changed if you want to add support as well.
How do you see this being viable without completely compromising the security of people who, for whatever reason, still use those devices?

How many functional heroin addicts are there? Even rock stars either eventually kick the habit or die in a hotel room.
It's obvious. That's how chemo works, by poisoning the cancer before the rest of you.

Similarly though, antioxidants are often sold as a health food but can promote cancer because they benefit the cancer more than the rest of you, and some of them directly shut off chemo drugs. There's plenty of evidence of that one.

Do you think that if there objectively wasn't "an establishment openly bigoted towards them", they'd believe that there is none? I don't think so. I think people are easy enough to manipulate that even in an objectively fair situation they'd feel that "an establishment is openly bigoted towards them".

Look no further than the divide between "black lives matter" and "all lives matter" - the group you describe couldn't accept the first statement, they had to replace it with the second.

> Alcohol by itself is tasteless though.

There seems to be disagreement over this.

To me, alcoholic beverages have a distinctive taste in common (stronger in spirits and weaker in beer or wine), which I always assumed was the taste of the alcohol itself.

Some sources describe pure ethanol as 'tasteless', albeit strongly odoured; if this is true, then I guess what I interpret as a taste is really the combination of the smell & the burning sensation.

But other sources describe it as having a taste -- e.g. CAMEO Chemicals (via PubChem) says ethanol has a 'pungent taste', and a paper I find when googling says 10% ethanol tastes bitter to everyone and sweet to some (and I know that's not exactly alcohol 'by itself' but they do attribute the taste to the ethanol).
> It's a drug that makes it easier to socialize

But is unconscious socialization the same as conscious socialization? IMO all socialization is not equal. If you're "engaging" with people who are intoxicated themselves, while you are intoxicated, does that truly yield the same benefits as a genuine, no-barrier interaction? In my experience, no.
When I was younger, and more energetic, I would actually seek out an owner's website after seeing an advertisement. There would be a big splash ad for a movie on IGN or something, and I'd find the site for the movie, find the email address, and write some internet-crazy rant about how I'd never watch the movie, and tell everyone I knew that the movie sucked, all because I was shown an advertisement for the movie. It was pretty immature of me, but I felt so strongly about it at the time.

Why would you want to code lying in bed?
IMO it's not about running macOS on it but rather that there is a need for desktop-class features on iPad. Apple doesn't need to run macOS on iPad to add desktop-class features. I'd rather see those features added to iPadOS (as well as visionOS, which is clearly a derivative of iPadOS).
Good point - why is that? How do they acheive it and what are the tradeoffs? An American example that comes to mind is the Mormons. Are they playing a lot of Mafia in the middle east? Hookah bars? Mosques?
