Yeah I'm doing the same, a combination of OVH, Scaleway and Hetzner.

Sure there is no such thing as "free unlimited" bandwidth but I much prefer unlimited with a fixed cost until they decide it's not worth it and shut me down vs unlimited risk with no ability to cap it.

The lack of cap is the worst part and it's 100% a business decision. Every provider who tracks bandwidth could add a cap but they just choose not to because it's too profitable and the risk is mostly* on the customer anyways.

*there is of course a tiny chance they the customer goes bankrupt and they get almost notning, but usually they just need to pretend to be nice and forgive all or most of it
Virtual Connect Four. Though what this brings to mind is one of Microsoft's mid-10s blue sky concept videos of seamless auto translation, where they used a translucent display as users on either side interacted with it and viewed the speech bubbles in the orientation of each viewer.

Given the capabilities of audio and text NNs these days, along with such displays, it would actually be plausible now.
I always run mine through Cloudflare, at least in part for this reason.
For everyone not speaking French: le means “the” so this is “Mistral the chat” or maybe “The Mistral Chat”. My knowledge of French is limited but it feels right to immediately get ahead of any misunderstandings here for English speakers

Any suggestions for hosts that will just make your site offline once it reaches its tier limit? Cloudflare and Netlify get suggested a lot and I was considering one of them before this.
Law isn't my strong point. I have had two Law classes -- environmental law -- and made A minuses in spite of bothering to actually study. So this isn't really an area I feel genuinely qualified to suggest a course of action.

But I don't think I have ever used ChatGPT and was blissfully ignorant for some months as to what that hodgepodge of letters even stood for and I'm inclined to be generally appalled by the whole thing.

And I'm sure people simultaneously don't actually care about my opinion but will nonetheless not hesitate to hand me my head for saying anything.

But if you are more qualified than me and feel strongly about this, perhaps you should do something about it -- something more than being cranky about it on the internet.

> I love the vibe and the nostalgia.

Good! Glad to hear that.

> But there's a lot going against anything like this taking off in today's real world.

The thing is this: I've been around this business for a long time. People said similar things in the 1980s, and in the 1990s, and in the noughties... Some reckoned Y2K was the last chance to eliminate the old cruft and replace it.

> For one, personal computing devices are phones, not PCs.

1. By design they're closed and not user-programmable.

2. There are a handful of exceptions, like the PinePhone, the FairPhone, and things.

3. Phone and tablet and PC tech is converging.

> Secondly, in computing we're past the stage of innovation and well into the stage of... well, consolidation or something.

I am aware. The thing is, this is not the first time. It's cyclical, like fashion.

> I mean, I love the ideas behind this but if there were a business doing these things I wouldn't invest a cent in it, there's no market for it.

That is precisely why I stress the importance of doing it just for fun. There's no:

Paradox Interactive's relationship with the comedy sketch group Door Monster is also pretty nice to see. It seems clear that's not strictly a business relationship, but also someone at Paradox being genuine fans.

I think there's actually a bit of a sliding scale between personal patronage and corporate patronage. Local businesses sponsoring local plays, concerts or sports events is another example of sponsorship which isn't likely income-generating.

Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic: How the Internet Destroyed Woke Hollywood [video]
Well, they have to pay for the amortized equipment cost. Which, yes, is much less than you think. The big 3 clouds have set their prices in an age when services were much more expensive to provide, and they make a big deal out of the fact they've never raised their prices - but they rarely lower them, either. Now they have insane profit margins.

The invisible hand of the free market has come to fix that, *but you have to opt into the hand by shopping around.* If you don't, you don't get its benefits! You have to willingly take the choice to move to cheaper providers instead of overpriced ones.

Hetzner Cloud: $1/TB (20TB free)
Digital Ocean: $10/TB (few TB free depending on server size)
AWS: $90/TB (0.1TB free, used to be 0.001TB free)
Netlify: $550/TB (0.1TB or 1TB free)

If you move up from $5/month VPSes, to real dedicated servers, you are now spending a lot more money and therefore you get more free perks. A huge number of providers exist that will give you unlimited or unlimited† bandwidth depending on how much you spend. Renting a powerful server with unlimited 1Gbps should cost a few hundred to several hundred dollars per month, and a powerful server with unlimited 10Gbps (i.e. 3000TB/month) should cost a few thousand dollars per month. You can even get some with 100Gbps (for tens of thousands).

Also consider asking your local ISPs and datacenters. If you live in a central area, you can probably get a comparable connection to a nearby datacenter if not straight to your office, for a comparable price. Data center connections are their bread and butter and they should be able to give you a quote quite rapidly; to your office will be a more custom thing.

Recently I got a quote for AMS-IX peering in Berlin, i.e. a peering in Amsterdam plus a link from Amsterdam to Berlin, about a 600km distance. That would cost 950 euros per month. If 1Gbps, it would cost 300 euros per month. Even though it's not really got anything to do with internet access (transit), I include this number to give some indication of the "true" cost of "raw" bandwidth.
Looking what they did to Heroku and are doing to Tableau, I'm not optimistic for Slack
This is a really ridiculous take that is created from sound bites. What he's says is not that coding will no longer exist, but that the purpose of computing is not coding but to solve interesting problems. We will only find interesting problems by having deep domain knowledge. Huang only argues the same as Steve Jobs, a computer is a bicycle for the mind:

Indeed. People need to look at the numerator and the denominator. How many millions of content creators are there out there? How much disposable income do fans really have?

The advantage of Patreon-like systems is they let the creators "whale hunt", by taking much larger amounts of money from a small number of more engaged fans.

> Eventually, her viewers were asking for more recipes, more elaborate productions, and fancier kitchen gadgets to review. Suddenly, she needed some serious cash to keep it all going. She started taking on sponsors, then product placements, then brand deals. I watched her churn-out videos, just ads for knives, mixers, or meal kits. And I could see the light going out of her eyes a little.

Nobody "made" her do this: she was working for herself. And, as her own boss, she drove herself to work harder to the point of burnout.

It's almost directly analogous to opening a restaurant. You buy kitchen equipment and ingredients and hope to turn a profit from satisfying the desires of the public. Quite often it doesn't work out; most restaurants close within a year or two of opening.

Not really:

* same religion: most people say they are non-religious (thought some have Christian beliefs), some who say they are Christian really do not know the right term for their actual beliefs (moralistic therapeutic deists), those who are Christian are of different denominations.

* both have a king: the western empire of Hadrian's time and the Byzantine both had an emperor. modern England is a constitutional monarchy, an executive drawn from parliament, and parliament is very different from its predecessors that existed at the time. The king is also king of a lot of other countries.

* controls almost the same territory: true of England alone, but England is not an independent entity, but part of a larger union, and that union has a lot of overseas territories.

* speaks a language that's closer to modern English: we are talking about the same era as Beowulf. That was a very different language, so no more comprehensible than related modern languages which at least have some common vocabulary (including loan words). Does this look recognisably like modern English? https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43521/beowulf-old-eng...

I agree with you about Egypt but it has been invaded multiple times, had a complete change of culture, etc. There is no political or cultural continuity (except the copts?) so it is fair to say it is another thing that happens to occupy roughly the same territory.
"least"? it's not least, it's "not at all" spicy, there's no capsaicin in bell peppers so while they're part of the same family of plants/fruits in scientific terms, in the world of cooking they might as well be considered an alien plant that has nothing to do with the others.

In French, we have a (generic, as in encompassing the whole family of plants) word specifically designating all members of the capsicum family that are spicy: Piments, so as to exclude Bell Peppers (which we call Poivron) from any conversation about this stuff.

Bell Peppers can be considered a main ingredient and focus (in weight) in a recipe, while the others are only ever used as spices.

I think they're close enough that it depends on your use case. IME, which is mostly generating Python and shell code, Gemini Advanced is faster, less lazy and generates overall better solutions than GPT-4. It also seems to be more up-to-date with libraries and stuff. It can also directly go to URLs (e.g. summarise a paper), which GPT-4 refuses to do.
It's a way of using the English term "chat" while using the typically French article "Le".
It reminds me of old American cartoons that abused the article "Le" to emphasize the French aspect of a character or place.
The Mistral products "La Plateforme" and "Le Chat" follow this principle.
Long before the internet age, it has been the case that there are far, far more people wanting to do creative stuff full-time than there is market support for it. And yes, various vultures who try to make money from this fact - but don't overestimate how much they contribute to artist poverty, compared to supply glut.

I think “le”/“la” is one of those French words most (well-)educated English speakers already know. English uses French phrases containing it anyway (e.g. avant la lettre)

I know almost zero Spanish, but I know what “el” means. And I know almost zero Arabic, but I know “al-“ and “ibn”. I think that level of (extremely minimal) knowledge of Spanish and Arabic is rather common among Anglophones; and “le”/“la”/“un”/“de”/etc is the same thing for French

Coscreen does afaik. Works pretty well. You would think that a team focused application needs both to do well.

I did a bunch of interviews with engineering teams for a similar product idea that said as much. We built an alpha of one even with both a windows and Mac client to meet that need but our big finding from early feedback was that dev teams really didn’t seem to want to do synchronous real time multiplayer collaboration very frequently. They liked the idea of async (which we leaned into) but time and time again realtime multiplayer was called out as a nice idea but not something they do in practice much. It’s like pair programming in general, good idea, infrequently done except for unique teams from what we’ve seen.
Everyone? Or more people. There's definitely more people
Patreon knows that Patreon doesn't work - they don't fund themselves by donations on Patreon; instead they take a cut of other people's donations.

And the model where some patrons receive a reward encourages transactionalism and disappointed patrons when they don't get the reward they expected.

Liberapay's model seems much more sustainable - donations only, no rewards; Liberapay fund themselves via Liberapay because they actually believe their system works.
They have to realize that the language model did it's job just fine. It produced a convincing piece of well-formed language that fits the context window. If they wanted knowledge instead, they should have used a knowledge model.

I'd be in favour of a regulation to allow them to set a spend limit, opt-out.

I'm fine with their pricing structure right now, since you have PLENTY of providers to choose from - people can easily vote with their wallets and there's no problem that needs solving.

However, the unexpected spikes are a problem, and providers seemingly don't provide any way to solve them because they make more money by not solving them. A regulation to require all providers of post-billed services to provide spending limits would make a lot of sense.

Of course, customers should also have the option to opt out of the limit or set a very high limit.

This should apply to any service that's billed by usage calculated afterwards, not just web hosting, and not just technology.

Why? Ignoring the safety concerns I don't really see an advantage to take a MAX over another plane from a passenger POV. At least with an A350 or 787 you get a more comfortable flight due to the higher pressure and humidity within the plane, but the 737 MAX is just a stretched 737 to fit in more people.

As in they are also funded by donations, or do the creators themselves pay for entry?
They're thinking of what we should call a "print processor" or a "paged processor" these days.
> The big break in this will be Strix Halo, coming from AMD either next year or late this year, as it will support 256-bit LPDDR5. Even using the fastest LPDDR5 available on the market, this will still just barely match the memory performance of Radeon 7600, the weakest current-gen discrete GPU AMD has on the market.

You can do better than that simply by putting some HBM or GDDR6 on the APU itself. Then you don't need to change the socket or have to add memory channels, and you don't need that much of it because you still have the ordinary memory slots to provide some DDR5 where the OS can keep all its dreck bloat. 8-16GB of the stuff would be enough to rival any of the current midrange discrete GPUs.
Do you have team members who use windows who are left out or is your whole dev team Mac?

but then you also have to have clean senses and be able to see things for what they are as they patently show to be such. It is like having empowered masses of people that in real "darwinian", selective contexts would die before being impactful.
diablo III difficulty is adjustable. you can make it as hard as you like during leveling and at the endgame.

Unity is a prime example of getting it wrong, as they aren't making their own games with their engine. When you go beyond small experiments with it, you realize that many undercooked, janky, abandoned features were driven by business needs, not developer needs.
If there is only one reason why unity was never as good as Unreal for "serious" game development - it's this.
How I Backup
I think the problem might be the quality of the data. For example on Steam the problem is that the tags are used very liberally to the point where these tags lose any meaning and thus the recommendations suck as a result.

Let's say for example that you've enjoyed the recent hit game Baldur's Gate 3 and you'd like to play something similar. You check out the Steam page, see that the game is tagged as a "RPG", so you click the tag and expect to get something similar. What you get instead are games that are not only very different but also so far removed from the genre that no one will ever list them in a forum thread talking about RPGs. Examples include titles such as Dota 2, Warframe, Palworld and Horizon Zero Dawn. There are genuine RPG games as well but the fact that there are so many titles that you need to ignore is pretty bad.

Tags aren't the only way Steam recommends new games. Going back to Baldur's Gate 3 Steam page there's a section called "more like this". I'd expect it to match more closely to BG3 and in many cases it does. But when it doesn't, it shows up ridiculous recommendations like The Sims 3 or Tom Clancy's The Division - games that have nothing to do with what Baldur's Gate 3 is.

And all of this is for an extremely popular game that at the same time doesn't do anything revolutionary. Trying the same approach with a more unconventional title that you've liked is a quick recipe for failure. I've just checked the recommendation page for Undertale and it's full of random games that have nothing to do with the title.
