5Gbps could be a single box, if you're ok with all that encompasses.

Otherwise, if you're serving all the traffic with a single IP, you need to do some sort of load balancing. Haproxy + CARP + cold failover is operationally simple, but you lose sessions when your Haproxy box needs maintenance.

ECMP works if your hosting allows for it. You'll still lose sessions during changes though.

Maybe something something pfsync. Or something with proxygen or some other load balancing that came out of Facebook. (I worked there, but not on their load balancers)

More details on what you're planning to do with 5Gbps helps you get advice. I'm assuming https, because cloudflare. Is it mostly static content, or mostly dynamic or mostly proxying? Does it burn a lot of cpu (so you need many boxes anyway) or ? Are you likely to attract DDoS, so you need more inbound bandwidth to accept and drop abuse? Do you expect to provide users with a SLA / what service level do you want to provide? Etc
additionally this is atomic (well, as in it's one command, it's not atomic internally)
Didn't Fly.io recently nosedive in similar fashion? If so, that just leaves Render.
I've always heard "caffeine withdrawal" explained as symptoms of dehydration from people who drank mostly coffee, go cold turkey, and do not replace with water.
> I'm surprised to see this submission did relatively poorly.

I think it was too long and too "deep" but at the same time geared towards a nontechnical audience and trying to explain by analogy, so it's going to lose people that don't already understand and annoy people who do.

What I like about the link I posted is that it's approachable to anyone who understands python and some basic preliminaries. It provides understanding to an audience that's potentially capable of understanding. The Ars article tries to do to much and I expect will rarely succeed in giving someone who can't understand my article (I posted it I didn't write it) an understanding of transformers.
If what you’ve read and listened to is a lot, please elaborate?

If it isn’t a lot, I encourage you to look more closely.
Let’s skip all the disputes about his achievements prior to this year (and you really need to take with a grain of salt anything bad you hear about someone who has been actively fucking up the afternoon of powerful people their entire life).

Tinygrad is so obvious in retrospect, but hindsight is 20/20 and I missed it.

Why the hell do we have kernels for any composite tensor operation? The machine economics are that starting a training run is who cares. Doing a training run is machine hours, days, centuries, millennia.

Spend like a drunken sailor customizing the kernel, exploit the aforementioned “who cares” blank check to just dump the friggin CUDA or PTX or OpenCL or Metal or whatever into /tmp/ and hit it with a fork/execve to nvcc or whatever. You can fuse and columnize and whatever to your hears content in the IR.

We spent how much time rigging up a trouś convolutions via IM2Col by hand with template instantiation in ATen? Well, we’re never getting that back. And while dating NVIDIA is fun, being chained in their soundproof basement not so fun. “It lives with the same 24Gb of GDDR6 on it paid for last year on its skin or it gets the p4d.24xlarge pricing again”.

Nobody has jacked anyone so usuriously via API lock-in since Gates and Win32.

Anyone who is doing a YouTube video called “Get in Losers, We’re building a Chatbot” and then live codes for 5 hours to turn 2700 lines of Python that can’t run LLaMA into 3200 lines of Python that can run it on three times the number of platforms that PyTorch?

I’m struggling here.

I'm curious what you're really trying to say here and why feel the need to compare yourself to your peers in such a way. Do you feel like you wasted those years because your peers are "smarter" than you now?
From a practicality perspective, a decent litmus test I think is "does the behaviour cause problems in your life?" and a follow-on to that is "do you want to stop but feel that you're unable to?"

I am addicted to tobacco. It causes me social and relationship grief. It's very hard to stop. Health-wise I don't need a lecture on the long-term harm I am doing, but in the short-term I'm generally going pretty good. Great cardio, decent blood pressure, shrug. I low-key want to stop, but it's not urgent.

I am likely addicted to caffeine as well, although suffer virtually zero obvious negative consequences from that other than needing a cup or two throughout the day to feel alert.

Someone else in this this thread mentioned losing multiple jobs because of weed. They're likely addicted to it, or suffering from some other kind of mental condition that results in them having poor impulse control/pleasure-seeking behaviour.
It's interesting that these anecdotes are all about coffee. You never hear "tried mountain dew once and couldn't stop"
Another Day, Another Room-Temperature Superconductor
Regarding cost, it can depend a lot on your traffic structure. If traffic is bursty, or substantially different between intraday peaks and troughs, it can be more cost effective. Solving this yourself costs dev time.

>reduced time spent in devops and increased time spent in development

This may be true if you’re trying to figure out how to do something you already know how to do outside of serverless, but IME many developers benefit from serverless eliminating boilerplate and nudging them away from state where it’s not necessary.

Also regarding cost and devops: I see serverless as an insurance policy against “my startup/product got a once-in-a-lifetime lucky break by going viral while I was asleep” causing you to fall over from a flood of traffic. Not only do you get to skip implementing your own scaling to go from 0-1 but you only pay substantially (vs the regular price diff) extra for it when it happens.
With respect, this sounds like a kids show depiction. It's not like an opiate, nor anything like being drunk. People use it while working - coders, writers, artists, etc. in the day time, often along with coffee. I think a lot of people get this wrong about weed, because "functionally useless" is not at all how I would describe it. Some of your favorite music, video games, even coding libraries were created by stoners!

Also when you say coffee smells good and cannabis doesn't - highly subjective right? I love coffee, but some really high quality coffee smells like s*t haha (literally). There are some fruity, piney, lemony, and floral scents from fresh cannabis, just like there is a nice aroma from fresh coffee. In both cases you're talking about a flowering plant, with highly subjective smells and varying terpenoid profiles. However, note that the terepenes "pinene" "limonene" etc. in cannabis are the exact same plant terpenoids in pine trees, lemons, etc. so if you like the smell of pine trees, lemon, mangoes, roses, and other highly floral scents, you will likely also at least appreciate the smell of cannabis.

I've said too much for Hacker News!
Can you just re-read the comment to which I directed that question? They were claiming that e-bike riders choose to ride alongside pedestrians because the roads are too dangerous.

If you really want to pull in that comment of mine from elsewhere in the thread, I’ll expand on it. My point there was that designing our streets for cars has made them dangerous for bikes.
Makes me wonder what the selling point of the book was originally
The estimate of 12 hours of storage was one of the more optimistic ones. It's not just day/night cycles there's also weather that results in long term fluctuations in output. Some of the estimates call for weeks of storage.

Energy conservation is likely not going to be feasible as more and more transportation gets electrified, as gas heating is replaced with electric, and industrial processes like smelting are decarbonized. Conservation is indeed an admission of failure, because success involves accommodating the growing demand for electricity in the future. Remember, electricity production is only about a third of total energy consumption: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/
you wouldn't expect a lot of subscribers to a channel with only unlisted videos, right? Some people use youtube solely for video publishing, and have zero or less interest in the social aspects of the site.
I don't think the denial relates to the guilt so much as it relates to the probability the person will be able to ditch this habit when they need to. Given that someone has an addiction problem, they're far more likely to overcome it if they acknowledge it is a problem. If they don't currently acknowledge, then things will probably get worse before they can get better. So perhaps OPs statement should be framed moreso as "realization is the first step to recovery", but I get where they are coming from.
obviously being properly secure is better. but if you leave your unlocked, it's better to not also hang a sign above it saying "this door is unlocked".

obscurity is absolutely part of good security practice, as long as it's not all you're relying on.
I just wanted to say the site looks a little odd on mobile

What part of it do you doubt? It’s obvious that clouds are white, and it’s obvious that they are cooler than the earth and even colder higher up (clouds form because the adiabatic expansion of rising air cools it down and causes water to condense, and the higher up you go the colder the atmosphere due to greater expansion - anybody who has hiked the mountains has experienced this).

The only assertion here that one has to take on faith is that clouds are approximate black bodies at infrared wavelengths (which isn’t surprising - most things tend to be), and the relative magnitude of the cooling vs warming effects. Oh and there is an unstated dependency that the Earth is also an approximate black body at infrared wavelengths.

Anything would return proxy/LB address. So do not use it behind LB/proxy/NAT.
Mainly that it only benefits giant instances. That's a convenient feature for people on a tiny instance following users on mastodon.social, but adds friction for users on mastodon.social who want to follow users on a tiny instance.

I haven't looked at the implementation, but I'll assume it's flawless. The issue is that it doesn't address the broader problem. Like the "official" iPhone app that has a giant, colorful "Join mastodon.social" button above a transparent "Pick another server" option, it serves to push people toward m.s and away from a good federated experience.
In chemistry there has for ~100 years existed a standard set of tests in the form of a decision tree. This is mainly useful for substances which are soluble and fit in a test tube/flask/beaker/carboy.

In physics, you'd start with a mass spectrometer which would quickly tell you what the elemental composition was, along with more detail. Then more refined GCMS and other forms of mass spec, as well as some X-rays at your local synchrotron, will give you some more structural information. There's also neutrons and a few other things.

If you ground up your UAP and what came out wasn't at all analyzable with a mass spec ,xray spec, or neutrons, then you'd have armies of otherwise bored research scientists asking to try every single method. IE, if you find unobtanium, everybody will want to obtain your unobtainium.
Really great work. I see great value in an ical translator, to and from if possible.

I'm working in Python land lately and a big fan of these plain text/markup like formats. I might've stumbled on this format before, definitely at least something similar and was excited. Can't promise I'll tackle the job but I do have great interest in looking closer at the format and seeing if I can load it into Python, and if I did then an ical import/export would probably be the first thing I hook up. Sorry if it's poor form to say I'll do it for dirt cheap if anyone wants to fund it, like $15/hour, might take under a week to get something working.

Thanks for the great work and demo that so powerfully illustrates it.
That's brilliant! I love how he 'sorts' one suit, flashes a smug look at someone off-frame and proceeds to just spread the rest of the deck face-up and sorted!

> I would actually argue that Jamstack has won to the point of basically just being "Modern Web Development" by now.

Don't you think there might be just a little bit of hubris creeping in here? JAMSTACK is such a niche/fringe it's not worth talking about. I'm a solo dev and network with many others. I don't think I've ever heard JAMSTACK mentioned let alone adopted. You're living in a self-generated bubble.
I'm open to hearing examples of effective phishing prevention that cannot be replicated with open APIs like this proposal - or even the counterexample, phishing attempts that rely on freedom of client choice to do.

I said "currently" - this means I'm open to hearing worthwhile exceptions, but I do want to have a chance to think about those exceptions and think of how companies would abuse them to in turn abuse their users, too.
Other things that come to mind as complications.

Saving the page as presented in my current browser session can be vastly different vs a non-logged in guest with no changes from browser addons.

Many websites require browser addons to be tolerable. Reddit likes to hide the end of comment chains to artificially inflate their fucking click metrics, and addons are required to load those comments inline. Saving pages with ublock enabled is also a must. I think selenium can do this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52153398/how-can-i-add-a...

So being able to use a login token or auto login with an would be useful. It’s probably best to create a special archive only user for each website. Otherwise it’d be a nightmare trying to remove the elements such as username, favorites, subscribed, etc and make sure the redactions aren’t broken by a future site design update.

Same: I generally don't mind being alone with my thoughts, but given the opportunity to experience (presumably) very safe electric shocks, I would take the novel opportunity.

Such studies may all be flawed in assuming very low utils in designed negative stimuli.

Maybe this is because we're mostly a Apple computers household, but a few months ago I realized the only x86 device my household own is our NAS (and frankly it's the worse device we own). Was pretty wilded out when I figured that one out.
I'm excited for the metric boatload of incremental value over a long period of time that modern AI is going to deliver for businesses.

Information-gathering is a common early step in any attack against a system; knowing the language & libraries involved (especially their versions) allows you to search for any existing CVEs that apply.

I don't think OP was implying that security by obscurity alone is sufficient, just that it's unwise to advertise information that's not relevant to end users, that could help would-be attackers.
Uptime-Kuma [1] with ntfy [2]. Most of my services expose HTTP so I just have Uptime-Kuma monitor that. But if you have something that is not exposed to the public you can still use a "push" type monitor, and in a cron job on your server(s), send heartbeat to it when everything is working.

I have no energy to spare to set it up, much less maintain that solution.

Each step of the process requires significant activation energy and unless I finish every step with no delays, it will not be restarted for months.

My brain is incredibly unreliable. There are very few things I can force myself to do. Unless a routine task is more important than work or my twice a month D&D game, it won’t be done on time, if it gets done at all.

That includes cooking, showering, housework, car maintenance, etc. Reminders for these things will be ignored. Todo lists will be ignored.
I found marijuana to be incredibly addictive in my 20s, despite the fact that I only liked 1/3rd of its effects.

As I got older I found the undesirable 2/3rd of effects to be overwhelming. This was especially obvious as I improved my health. I eat better and even workout more at 44 than I ever did at 22. Despite a plethora of legal marijuana options now, I have very little desire to use it (or any drugs, I really don't want to interfere too much with my hormones or at all with my dopamine reward system.) If I hadn't taken the path in life that I did, I might instead be desiring or dependent on drugs much stronger than marijuana at age 44.

I feel a sense of gratitude for the training that led me away from drugs and a sense of empathy for those who were not encouraged down the same path. I grew up on the Internet from 1991 (including the various archives of alt.drugs) with an intense curiosity for drugs, and also a sense of danger from the stronger ones (in particular opiates and stimulants.) This also left me with the idea that marijuana was both harmless and low-cost, addiction wise.

It took me quite a long time to understand the negative effects that it had on me. Chief was excessive eating. I could not work off the amount of food that I could eat while high. The negative effects on my body hormones from carrying this extra weight seemed to be reinforcing to the addiction. It's a crazy ride.
Superb game. Wonder what the logic was to get that feeling of "no matter what you do you're doomed" but still made it incredibly fun and, to a degree, relatable looking at different parts of history (it's not one country but has aspects that are very familiar to many).

The most interesting part of this article to me was the end, where the author argues about how important High School Debate is and how Kritiks are the ruin of this important tradition. I was a HS debator in the early 90s, before K's were popular, and from my experience debate was already a fun but ultimately harmful activity. The whole idea was to spew a constant stream of arguments that didn't have any merit as quickly as possible, hoping the opposing team would forget to respond to just one out of 100, and then you win.

HS Debate already trained a generation of win-at-all-costs, who cares if you are right folks like Karl Rove. I don't see how the current generation of kritik based debate could possibly be any worse
