Where did you buy that dell? I'm shocked by the low price.
Volume, I’m sure. They sell a large volume of a small number of SKUs so go for the minimum feature set that can get them out a couple of sigmas of the target market. Anything else is aftermarket (special case) or just “buy something else”.

There are a few exceptions. I wonder how many Mac pros they really sell. I assume it’s really a “halo” product that sells more Mac studios and MacBook pros.

Also the Mac in general is a low volume product for Apple. It’s 10% of units in the PC market (but what % of profit?) and about 10% of their revenue. (If they were truly run with a bean counter mentality would they even ship Macs?)
Alaska Airlines NTSB briefing: what broke on the door plug
17:33 into the video it is explained "what broke".

The door moved upwards, as is done when it is opened. It became disengaged and allowed it to be expelled from the aircraft. They have not found the four bolts that restrained it from moving and are not sure if the four bolts were installed.

Really good video explaining how the door plugs work with photos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maLBGFYl9_o
Is there a counter hidden in the page or a JS variable? I think I went further than that but it didn't get any harder.
It's not just "very hard", it's utterly impossible for a civilization of our level. Making a small colony on Mars is far more doable, even though that's pretty dubious. But Mars at least doesn't have a sulfuric acid atmosphere with crushing deep-sea pressure and a temperature hot enough to melt lead. The idea of terraforming that is just silly. It would be easier to build a generation ship to travel to other star systems.

I gotta ask:

Why?
The 4 restraining nuts and bolts on the door have a cotter pin like mechanism to prevent them from loosening. If assembled correctly they cannot loosen unless the pin fails.

K8s was a generational iteration of Borg, but it was a full re-write with an emphasis on making it more universally usable and pluggable.

> We've incorporated the best ideas from Borg in Kubernetes, and have tried to address some pain points that users identified with Borg over the years.

Borg was written in C++, but only contained container scheduling, resource allocation and some service discovery. Many other features of what is now Kubernetes were built later and essentially "shimmed" onto Borg.

Kubernetes was a re-write of Borg to rebuild many of its original features from the ground up using the lessons they had learned since originally building Borg. By this time, Go had been developed and was being actively used for many of these shims and supporting services surrounding Borg. Since the same team(s) were rebuilding Borg that had developed and maintained these other services, and because many of these shims and supporting services (which are already in Go) were being incorporated into Kubernetes, they decided to build the new version (which became Kubernetes) in Go.

I’m sorry to say but you’re trying to solve an imaginary problem.

So are they spinning the secondary trading business off into a separate company, or shutting it down completely?

If they shut it down, their claimed US$8 billion market cap goes poof, doesn't it? Maintaining cap tables as a service can't be good for more than a few million a year in revenue.

So can you prove things with this "theory" are there theorems? What are the axioms?

More like there is no theory. You just build it off of your gut feeling. Maybe you use big words like "dependency injection" or "domain knowledge" to make it feel like you have a theory but really you don't.

When you have a theory, aspects of the design are calculated. Diagraming the architecture on a whiteboard is not theory. It's still gut feelings.

It's easy to say, why don't we have an olympics where people can do whatever they want. Take any drug that they want.

The problem is, are we ok with people burning out their bodies in their 20s? And ending up dead or with horrific side effects that torture them for the rest of their lives?

And how much agency do some of these people have in their late teens early 20s when they start doing these drugs? Are we just allowing their parents and governments to put crazy things in their bodies, effectively ruining their futures, so that they can win?

The drugs used in cycling are extremely dangerous. Dozens of cyclists have died from doping, and those are just the ones we know about. Look up a documentary about Marco Pantani if you want to see the horrific effects of doping. He wrecked his body to the point where he couldn't sleep for long periods without risking a heart attack. He had to cycle at night on a stationary bike to stay alive. Sadly he passed away at only 34.

If we adopt this system where we just let people dope as they wish, we're signing their death warrant. No better than watching gladiators fight to the death.

R is literally designed to do statistics and has first class support and language feature support for many specialized tasks in statistics and closely related fields.

Python is literally designed to be easy to program with in general.

Well, it turns out when you’re dealing with terabytes of data and TFLOPS, the programming becomes more
important than the math. Not all R devs are happy about this and they are very loud about it.

But it shouldn’t really surprise anyone. That is literally how those languages are designed.

Most of the R devs I know like this are just butthurt they are paid less and refuse to switch because they’re obstinate, or they’re a little scared they’re being left behind. first group is all over the place, but the second group tends to skew older of course

Oh, "cache" means a huge amount of functionality, on both hardware and software, with a huge amount of dissimilarity.

People are talking like of the one cache thing they are thinking about is the end-all be-all instance of "cache" and nothing can differ. Even the article's author, that really should know better.

Anyway, you seem to be talking about a basically free network (probably a bus), with huge throughput and relatively short latency. The article seems to be about a more limited network, with comparatively lower throughput and larger latency. The same algorithm won't work for both cases.
Actually people on social media sites like Twitter solve a similar discoverability issue by following interesting people. Subscribing to interesting level creators inside the game reduces the problem to finding these creators.

This is true in general but I'm not sure it's what's going on here.

Marketing is also very concerned with understanding who your target audience(s) are and speaking their language.

I think talking about "DataFrames" is exactly that; the target audience of this project knows what that means. What they are interested in is "ok but who cares about data frames? I've been using pandas for like fifteen years", so what you want to tell them is why this is an improvement, how it would help them. Dumbing it down to spend a bunch of space describing what data frames are would just be a distraction. You'd probably lose the target audience before you ever got to the actual benefits of the project.
Mixtral works great at 3-bit quantization. It fits onto a single RTX 3090 and runs at about 50 tokens/s. The output quality is not "ruined" at all.

For the amount of money you're talking about, you could also buy two 3090s (~$750 each on eBay) and have 48GB of VRAM to run with less quantization at full speed.

M-series Macs are surprisingly flexible platforms, but they're not "the only" consumer platform that can do Mixtral.
CGI weren't all that slow even 25 years ago if you minded exactly the things you mention.

That is: Compiled, statically linked code, that also took advantage of the fact the process would die (which meant e.g. not freeing memory, or doing any other unnecessary cleanup), and get external APIs out of band where possible unless their latency were low.

I built a webmail service like that back then, and we measured vs. FastCGI and other options and it performed well.

Wouldn't necessarily do it again, because it was a product of competing against slow interpreted languages on a whole server park slower than my laptop, where you could recover from the process creation overhead just by being faster.

Things like the static linking gave us a double digit percentage reduction in latency over the "naive" CGI approach, and cut the advantage of persistent processes right down. Being able to drop almost all memory frees helped a lot too (we'd only free particularly large objects, otherwise just let the OS free everything at once when the process died)

Overall we were mostly IO bound despite using CGI even with the significantly worse process creation overhead of Linux back then (it was never "bad" compared to e.g. Windows as far as I remember, but there were significant efforts to improve it)

For a long time Apple apparently didn't test in hot humid climates, as the plastic they used on the macbook power cables would disintegrate and slew off after a year or so.

I would not be surprised if hot humidity is also an issue with these sensors, which seem to be a user-hostile feature in any case.
It's in China's best interests to have USN stretched across multiple theaters (three - SCS, the Eastern Med, Persian Gulf/Red Sea) for reasons that should be obvious. Counting the containers' points of origin would make one think China would like to see this wrapped up quickly, but they think on longer timelines than quarterly earnings reports.

"Europe" doesn't have a Navy capable of projecting enough force to deal with the problem.

And, lastly, the raison d'être for today's USN is securing the free flow of global trade. So, it's very much unsurprising that USA is jumping in here (that we do not get paid for doing this service is a different matter).
What about the Cat S22

Not to my knowledge. But because the unified memory doubles as VRAM for the onboard GPU, normal GPU acceleration can access the entire model even if it's 50+ GB. That's why ASi Macs are currently the holy grail for at-home inferencing, and also why projects like llama.cpp focus so much on ASi above all else, and why so many UIs release for macOS first before other operating systems. Certain Mac models offer up to 192GB of unified memory.
For comparison, I taught myself Spanish with paper flashcards I wrote, and a grammar book and I was at a similar stage after 5 months. 3 hours effort per week approx so a bit more than you.
Having used ruggedised laptops in the past - usually the keyboards are pretty horrible if they're fully waterproof. Depends between model to model, but the most fully-waterproof ones we had had a full membrane over the keyboard, making it super spongey and terrible to type on.

An iPad on the other hard would be pretty easy to make fully waterproof like the phones, since it only has a couple of buttons and one port.
I thought offshoring happened 20 years ago. I think today, it is more about aishoring, or the dream that it will be possible to do a lot with very few people.

I have no idea how farming subsidies are relevant here. Farm subsidies are tiny fraction of US federal government spend. US Federal Government already spends more than 5 times as much money on education than it does on agricultural subsidies, and 50 times as much on military than it does on agricultural subsidies. Even that tiny spend is mostly benefitting the consumers rather than farmers, in the form of lower food prices. If we redirected all agricultural subsidies to educational spending, because federal educational spending is only a small fraction of total educational spending, total educational spending in US would only grow by measly 2%.

I have no idea why anyone would bring agricultural subsidies in the context of education spend, other than to signal disdain for the outgroup. This is simply completely irrelevant.
Kind of off-topic but: This legitimately feels like FUD. Riot's anti-cheat system is called Vanguard and it's one they built themselves. Of all the anti-cheat software out there, I'd assume theirs is one of the better ones in regards to not collecting information. I'd highly recommend providing some sources to back up those rather large claims.

I will concede that Riot is owned by Tencent which is a Chinese company.

I respect the desire to limit buying/using software, especially if that software compromises on ideals you have about privacy and data collection.
The battery in the box was so old, it didn't hold a charge very well. I wonder if I can recondition it somehow.

There's gotta be something between Satya and "C-tier code out of rural India".

There are of course lots of bad coders in India, but there are also many really good ones. And whereas in the past they had to emigrate to US or Europe to fully make use of their talents, nowadays some(many?) choose to remain in India and work remotely. It's silly to dismiss and underestimate their skills.

As far your experience with developers that follow the specs literally, in an almost maliciously compliant way,
that might be learned behavior from working on projects where the tasks are spec-ed and estimated and any attempts at going above and beyond ultimately result in late delivery and punishment, so developers quickly learn to only do the bare minimum of what is described. Granted your examples are extreme and pathological, so maybe you just had the misfortune of working with really bad people.

Additionally, unless you pick the developers yourself, you're at the mercy of the agencies who assemble those offshore teams, and often the economics are such that it doesn't incentivize them to hire the best people available. From my experience, many good developers find work on their own, outside of an agency, contracting directly with the remote company.
Exactly. You should use the IEA data about Chinese mainland reactor construction, because China’s civilian reactor construction plans are very public and reactors are big enough to see from space.

> Fast forward to today, our business is broken down as follows: the captable business is about $250M/year, fund administration is about $100M, private equity is about $20M, and the secondary trading business is about $3M.

$250M is more than a few million.
Fair enough. I did put 'ruining' in quotes for a reason - I haven't compared output between Q3 and Q4_K_M that I use, but you do generally sacrifice output quality at higher quantization levels.

And you're right, you can run it on a multi-GPU setup if you're so inclined.
I totally missed your comment about SM-2s being deemed "too dangerous" to use." That's not really accurate. There have been two incidents with the SM-2 (2015 and 2018). The USN and the German Navy decided not to do any more test firings of these missiles, but they are cleared for wartime use. And they're being used now without issue so far.

I also would love to see why you think there's only 180 modernized versions, and what you consider modernized. My understanding is that all versions have been either upgraded or their upgrade is budgeted. If you think that the USN has only 680 SM-2 and SM-6 in inventory I don't know what to say. That would be only 10 or so Standards per Arleigh Burke. There are 73 Arleigh Burkes active with a capacity of 90 missiles. Even if they only allocate 50% of these VLS slots to SM missiles, that would require over 3K missiles. And this ignores the Ticos completely. I know the USN puts to see without filling all the VLS slots, but that would be a dangerous, ridiculous loadout that I can't see escaping Congressional scrutiny.

Raytheon says they've produced over 11k SM-2 missiles worldwide. I know that testing has consumed around 3K, leaving 8K for the USN and allies. Even being generous with FMS, I doubt Raytheon has sold more than 2K overseas. That would leave the US inventory around 6K. A far cry from 180.
The only complete and precise specification of software is the code itself. If some other form of specification was complete, we would be able to auto-generate the code.
They did address it... by completely eliminating the department.

They didn't deep dive retro it, but in that, we know the answer.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) using the phone's camera (2014)
On the deaths, you're counting only KIA. We had 4 die in the time frame you mentioned, out of 2500, in ways outside of direct combat. Your assessment also is directly rejected by the military's own internal assessments. Afghan security forces were being killed at a rate deemed to be unsustainable. The US was literally running out of Afghans willing to fight for it. This is probably one of the main factors in deciding to vacate. And, again, it's also an endless money sink. We wasted trillions of dollars on Afghanistan and achieved less than nothing.

As for foreign interference, you clearly know Vietnam's history. Vietnam was a French colony that was occupied by Japan during WW2. Following the end of WW2, the Vietnamese themselves declared their independence, as a short-lived communist nation. However France was 'granted' the country, and this resulted in a war between France/UK vs Vietnam, which the Vietnamese ultimately lost leading to the divisions in the country and setting the stage for the Vietnam War. China and the USSR supported the Vietnamese forces, but those forces were already "naturally" aligned. By contrast the South Vietnamese government was just a an inorganic puppet government.

We can get into Ukraine if you fancy, but I think that's neither here nor there for now.
