>which works out to nearly $102,000 per year, assuming a 40-hour workweek, 52 weeks a year. Those employees are guaranteed an eight-hour workday

Exactly the point I was making. They’re making $100K which is decidedly not almost $200K. This isn’t to say that it isn’t good, but every well paying job includes pension or 401k matching, paid time off, health insurance, sometimes education reimbursement, etc. It’s (intentionally, on the part of “journalists”) misleading to quote $170K when that is not how compensations are compared in the US. Rounding up a fudged number to $200K is even more misleading. Quoting a number including 5 years of merit increases and inflation is even more misleading. The numbers are good and impressive on their own, there is no need for this fudgery except to drive clicks.
I feel like that CPU is way overkill for emulating 2600/7800 games. They might be starting from one of those "5,000 games" things and just deleting 8 of the emulators and all of the games and then adding in something to read the ROMs off the cartridges. Probably based on some existing modules that people have been using for years to burn them.

Hello HN!

We're gauging interest in short-term cloud-based GPU rentals, and wanted to get a bit of input from the community to understand the size and shape of rental offerings for A100s and H100s.

For those interested, would love to get your responses around price sensitivity vs capacity availability in the form above (only 5 questions).

This pricing would be very competitive when compared with AWS / Azure / etc.

Will require containerizing your workload, and have some forthcoming info on how you'd be able to ensure said workload is secure from the host.

Many thanks.
Back when I worked at an IT company, I created a very simple AHK script where pressing Ctrl + Alt + V would type in the contents of the clipboard, rather than paste it. We were constantly remoting into servers that required tediously typing strong passwords at the Windows login prompt, and this workaround allowed us to "paste" them directly into the password field.

Nowadays I'm on macOS and I use BetterTouchTool and karabiner-elements to handle all kinds of miniature efficiency patches, and they make a huge difference for me. BTT in particular allows for a limitless amount of system control, such as triggering context menu actions, running AppleScript, or even showing/hiding a floating WebView of your own HTML document. I've barely scratched the surface.
I'm not in the community but aren't they considering removing the dependency on LLVM, and not being a C compiler anymore? Am I misunderstanding that?
I've done a complete 180 on nuclear power. I used to oppose it because of the problem of the waste.

However, the climate crisis overrides everything. If we're going to have even a chance of man being able to live relatively decently in the future, then we need to make some radical changes, and nuclear is an obvious source of energy that contributes far less to climate change.

So I've come to think that whatever the potential environmental hazards of nuclear waster, they are miniscule compared to the environmental disaster that we're currently in. Every tool we have to help mitigate that is essential.
So many people claim that. The advent of AI means they will not need to work.

That doesn't drive collaboration, that drives low morale and eventually people moving on. If you need to identify low performers then you now have an metric explicit or implicit that identifies them.

Have you ever worked on a team where people are yanked every 6 months systematically? No one on such teams wants to collaborate. It is in an individual's best interest to let others sink. Product, services, outcomes be damned.

Wrong. The universe is remarkably empty, and photons can easily travel across the entire visible universe without hitting anything.

Wrong. There are very specific conditions for blackbody radiation. Other conditions give rise to different types of spectra, such as synchrotron radiation, Bremsstrahlung, etc.

My reluctance to use these nice modern shell utilities stems from the fact that if I come to rely on them, I will drive myself crazy trying to use them in places where they are not available and never will be. (I routinely log into various hosts to poke around and troubleshoot.) It's more worth my time to be as efficient as I can with the tools that are included out-of-the-box with most standard Linux and *nix OSes.

High tech is major expensive. Who owns it at the start? Won't this be like a trickle-down effect before it becomes broadly available? And when that happens isn't the cutting edge already far ahead and with the increasing wealth inequality even more in the hands of the few?

It's a good idea to reduce templating languages into a simpler form, I'll agree to that, but the issue here is that you still need loops and data input.

For example, the test script has a 'li' function but <li>s are list items and they reside, usually more than one, inside <ol> or <ul> elements. At the very least, there should be a way to take some form of data file (list of blog posts and nested metadata) an iterate over it. Otherwise you're just writing whatever markup you want as the output, with an additional layer, and nothing of added value.

Otherwise what, template the slisp in Jinja too?

> with an aging and retiring demographic of people that have never used a programming language

This simply isn't true in any way and is completely divorced from modern businesses. Everybody I know who works in an office setting works with Excel. None of them know Python and none of them have touched a programming language. Almost all of them are younger than 30. And if anybody who's 20 starts at one of these companies, they'd better know Excel because that's what the business is built on. Not like that 20 year old is gonna know anything about programming either. 99% of people just aren't programmers and aren't going to learn programming when they just want to futz around with some numbers and the easiest (yet also the most powerful) tool they know for it is a spreadsheet.

If somebody in any business, anywhere, at any point wants to do something with numbers, they're going to use Excel.

After staying on the sidelines for the last 2 years, I'm finally ready to start looking seriously. My hope is that in 1-2 months we'll start seeing articles about actual discounting, and by year-end there will be some legit sales. Interest rates will likely still be high, but people who can pay cash could get a good deal (i.e., actually pay under MSRP).

I thought the most interesting part of the article was the video, where the guy from JD Power kept talking about "we" when referring to the auto industry, and even made reference to what can only be described as implicit collusion to keep supply down and prices high.

That's not always possible. Both on the customer's side (mandatory changes, bug fixes, etc) and IBM's side (OS/machine updates, support of the associated tooling, etc)

If Banks, etc are having trouble hiring people to fix COBOL, how hard do you think it is to find someone that can fix or extend a COBOL compiler?

“Use intuition”
On the macro level it’s about incentives and leadership ( on the org level). If workers incentives are based on (faulty) KPIs there is going to be a perverse incentive even if members within the org know it is not optimal. On the micro level it’s about gathering other forms of data, basically qualitative data to inform the behavior that is observed in the KPIs or quantitative metrics. This could be accomplished with user research or speaking to those who have direct interaction with users - sales and support people.

I wish I heard this warning a while back.

Firefox used to have a pretty Chrome-like tabs bar with curved trapezoid corners and a lighter highlight for the selected tab.Then one day they decided that's bad, made it all flat rectangles and inverted the color scheme. Someone on the UX team had to justify their existence I guess. So my muscle memory was telling me that the tab that is selected is not selected and I couldn't get anything done.

Okay not a problem, set up some flags that revert the old scheme, done. A few months later, Mozilla breaks that functionality because fuck you. Okay still not a problem, find and install a custom theme that makes the task bar look normal again.

Half a year later they release a new patch that breaks the custom theme by sliding the tabs bar roughly 50% up so it's being clipped by the fucking window. I no longer have any clue what file changes I made to mod in that custom theme so I'm stuck with a broken install of Firefox unless I nuke my profiles. Yaaaay.

In my probably decade+ of using it, Chrome has never been this annoying.

It's ok, so-called "software development methodologies" solve this problem by making sure that the project begins in the programmer's mind in just as chaotic and irregular a state as it will eventually end up once the code has been written.

> On the onboarding story, I'm specifically curious how/why diagrams work more than a bulleted list

the point I was trying to make in the article was that having a visual representation helps new developers to build up a mental model of the different components of a software system. In my particular case the system in question is made up of: 2xAPI, 2xEvent Processors, Event Producer as well as dependencies on external systems. The architecture diagrams are helpful here as the new developers are able to see the interactions between components.

> I love the idea of having a diagram that works as a reflection of the codebase.

In C4 there are 4 levels, the first is the system view this doesn't bear much resemblance to the codebase, the second is the container level, this is where you show the different components that make up a system. It's important to note here that a component is a deployable "thing", e.g. an API, database, powershell/bash script etc. This is where you start to see a bit more of a link between the architecture diagrams and the codebase. My experience of level 3 and level 4 where you start to model the actual codebase didn't bear much fruit and there are tools which can do a good enough job here from scanning the code (particularly in the dotnet world, NDepend does a brilliant job, although £££s)
I would assume that workbook would be tied to a version that it was created in and the if the user does not want to update they can just continue using it with the older Anaconda distribution. They don't really need to know what Anaconda is in this scenario. It only becomes necessary if you want to update a certain workbook to a newer version.
Depends on how you count. For 200 years people can't agree :)

The most common count is 3 because in singular nominative there's 3 - male/female/neutral - same as in English, but he/she/it applies to all nouns not only to people.

In plural nominative there's 2 - malepersonal and nonmalepersonal. So that's 5 in total.

But some people join singular and plural kinds to get 4 - malepersonal, malenonpersonal, female, neutral.

But that's only in nominative. Polish has 7 cases and in some of them the pronouns and endings behave differently depending on whether the group is grammatically male animals or grammaticaly male things.

So some people separate these as well and get 5 (if you join singular and plural kinds) or 7 if you don't.

It's fucked up when you think about it, but you don't think about it when you speak - you just know what sounds good and use that.

It causes a lot of problems with translations from other languages - you need more information that authors usually provide to know what pronouns and verb/adjective endings should be used.

The thing that keeps me from using Firefox is that it doesn't use certain standard macOS interface methods.

That keeps me from using macOS's built-in keybinding system to change tabs with the touch of a function key.

Every other program I use from Finder to my database manager allows me to switch tabs with one button. Firefox has no way to accomplish this, which would make it an interruption to my muscle memory and therefore my productivity.

Duck allows it, so that's what I use instead of Chrome.

> you said "energy density goes down due to the expansion"

Yes, the overall energy density (dark energy plus matter/radiation) goes down, but since the dark-energy part of the density remains constant, it provides a floor.

> Can you also clarify why galaxies don't expand, but empty space does?

Gravity. Within a certain range (the size of small galaxy clusters), gravity dominates.

> I suppose this is something to do with "vacuum energy"

Vacuum energy is predicted by quantum mechanics and contributes to (or entirely constitutes) the cosmological constant, and thus is a candidate explanation for dark energy.
