This is still a common thing. Amazon has AWS Snowball [1] (up to 210 TB), Backblaze has Fireball [2] (96 TB), GCP has Transfer Appliance [3] (300 TB) and I'm sure there are others.

They ship it to you, you fill it up (over S3 API for example) and send it back.

Thanks, Bastien, for org-journal. I've used it almost every day for the last 4 years. Perhaps you'll find a new use for Emacs someday.
Hopefully it won't end up as training data.
Healthcare has a cartel restricting supply of new doctors, and new hospitals. Only a small number of new doctors can intern each year ensuring the relative supply decreases vs population. The same for hospitals - even if you have the money and the doctors you can't open one unless the other hospitals in the area agree one is needed and allow you to get a “Certificate of Need”.

But that wasn't enough to juice profits so pricing had to be made as opaque as possible to screw over anyone who isn't a giant insurance company ensuring the little guy without insurance who "pays his bills" pays more than 10x anyone else in the system.

I don't know of any other industry with this level of depravity and greed.
It is really question do you trust your ISP or do you trust your VPN provider? And if you are doing something your state might have interest in. Well VPN options might also be questionable. Either in some adjacent state, or other ways scrupulous...
Feel free to answer then, how do you do the same functions this does with gpt(3/4) without AI?

Edit -

This is an excellent use of it, a free text human input capable of doing things like extracting summaries. It does not seem to be used at all for the basic task of extracting content, but for post filtering.

It's quite strange, because the article text talks about how the "colors are bright and vivid, while blacks are deep and inky" and the problem is that the surface details look off. But then on the screenshots all you can see is a difference in the color grading, and no details of any kind.

Like, the problem with the closeup of Jamie Lee Curtis isn't the skin texture like suggested in the subtitle. It's that she is blue.
If there was room for someone to overtake on the right I don't think your scenario applies.

I agree with you that this is certainly a challenge but I dont think this is an insurmountable obstacle for a very intelligent individual.
If someone takes out more than they can pay back, it’s their problem.

If millions of people do it, there is a systemic problem that needs addressing.

It can be both things at once.
I suspect we'll see more openness to this with homes in the future coming with batteries to power for 12-24 hours without the grid.
If you want to spend money on startup shares, why wouldn't you buy preferential shares? The median value of common shares is muck - converting options buys you risky common shares and causes tax liabilities.

Angel investing is extremely risky, and converting options is riskier than that! Common shares are much much higher risk than preferential shares.

Plus diversification is good. Concentrating your assets and job into one investment is speculation: great when you win but terrible when you lose.

I reckon we are conceited to think we can invest smarter than professional VCs? They lose all the time even though it is their fulltime job and they are insiders on the rules of the game.
The "DIY VPN" is worse for 3 reasons:

1. it's more expensive than commercial VPNs, which you can often get for <$3/month, or even less with promos/cashback sites

2. you're limited to one region, which means you can't use it as effectively for geoblock evasion purposes.

3. you get less anonymity because you get a static ip that's assigned to you only, as opposed to a commercial VPN provider where you can connect to hundreds/thousands of servers each of which are used by probably hundreds of users.
I got tired of the video because they never got to the point. Here’s the article:

https://hackaday.com/2024/03/21/why-x86-needs-to-die/

The article is, uh, well it’s bad. I’m a little hesitant to respond point-by-point to an article like this because it just sucks up so much time, and there’s just so much wrong with the article on so many levels. Here’s the response article:

https://chipsandcheese.com/2024/03/27/why-x86-doesnt-need-to...

The video appears to go into detail about things like how pipelines but it’s a long video that just doesn’t get to the point fast enough. I think the video is somewhat tearing into the article and ripping it apart, but I hear some comments in the video which I think are not that great, like at 1:01:25:

> RISC is reduced instruction set computer, just means not very many instructions

RISC is better understood not in terms of the acronym itself, but as a label for the way CPUs were designed post 1980 or so.
> We’re now into the 2-terabyte realm, so we can’t actually send a single disk; we need to send a bunch of disks.

It always amuses me reading old articles about things like data storage. These days you can get a 2TB SD card.
Then the author is doing this in bad faith. You don't simply call yourself a journalist, then proceed to write about a city you have no relation to, using hearsay as your primary source of truth.

This is stuff that happens all over the world, it's just - as you correctly pointed out - that Naples, often because of the way Neapolitans themselves narrate it, is depicted as the one of the wildest cities in Europe, if not the entire World. The reality is simply that it's not that bad, and it's probably more chaotic, but yet safer than, say, Milan. Yes there are still gangs trying to fight for neighbourhoods, but they're becoming a parody of themselves, and, while this makes them somehow more dangerous from time to time, I still feel way safer in Napoli's Forcella than right in front of the Duomo in Milan.
ECH is not starting soon. CloudFlare haven't rolled it out to everyone and good luck finding a constant setup for it.

In other abuses of SQLite, I wrote a tool [0] that exposes blobs in SQLite via an Amazon S3 API. It doesn't do expiry (but that would be easy enough to add if S3 does it).

We were using it to manage a millions of images for machine learning as many tools support S3 and the ability to add custom metadata to objects is useful (harder with files). It is one SQLite database per bucket but at the bucket level it is transactional.

As someone who was doing frontend development since before CSS existed (I jumped in somewhere around when the <center> tag was introduced), I can probably answer any of your questions.

Most answers—especially for those early features—boil down to folks from the desktop publishing world wanting features they've always had, using terminology few programmers had ever heard, and looking to use layouts everyone in their community was already intimately familiar with.

Some things got lost in translation, but a lot is just an artifact of desktop publishing not having the same goals or desire for algorithmic elegance that developers were used to. Then of course were the tradeoffs. Remember that when CSS was first introduced in Internet Explorer, 16-32MB of RAM was typical if not advanced. The user had a 512MB hard drive on a good day. There were no GPUs as we think of them today. There were some 2D accelerators (good ole Diamond video cards) that took ridiculously slow rendering up to the level of very slow rendering. 800x600 target resolution was typical for web development.

No one really knew what they were doing, but everyone had an opinion, and a lot of those opinions were incompatible with one another. A lot of temporary stopgaps were put in just to solve the problem of the day only to end up part of our technical debt today.

ActiveX and Flash (and <applet>) solved real problems, but were never architected as a cohesive part of the whole. SVG took way too long and progress was crushed under the weight of committee. XML touched everything and was universally agreed upon as the glue moving forward… until it wasn't. We still call them XHR calls even though they rarely fetch XML resources anymore.

And layout is hard. Damn hard. Ridiculously hard to get right, and that's when you have a well-thought out plan and universal agreement. Which Microsoft and Netscape most certainly did not have. Neither really had a solid reference point. Correct behavior mostly boiled down to "how it renders in that browser version right now".

We really have come a long way. One should expect warts and scars. All things told, I'm really happy with how modern CSS turned out. It may be complex, but so are the outputs it is meant to produce. Those who pine for something substantially simpler I believe have a diminished understanding of the problem space.
Couldn’t this logic then be extended to anything? People could steal anything with impunity.

The police can’t prove I didn’t have an informal agreement to be the sole operator of your car, for example. For kidnapping, how can they prove I’m not just a baby sitter?

If we are going to take people at their word, why would buildings be put in a different class than people or things?

I get not wanting people with a legitimate claim to a building to be kicked out, but in the case of a building like this, wouldn’t zoning issue prevent it from being used as housing? Even if there was an agreement, I’d expect zoning laws to override it. Obviously IANAL, but this doesn’t make a lot of sense and it seemed like it should be a solved problem by now.
VS Code people: how do you not go crazy when you try out a new language? I just opened up a love2d project I've been working on and everything has error squiggles. Do y'all just spend hours getting your tooling figured out every time you try something new or do you just disable diagnostics?
I haven’t looked into durability of flash before. How do I recognise the high density? What is the unit or indicator I have to look for?

N++ can tail and follow files and colour code the output. Smashing!

Kate recently opens a default start page which I now find annoying. Kate also opens all previously opened files by default.

All of these things are defaults that are easy to override but changing defaults can be annoying, especially when you have been used the previous defaults for more than a decade ...
100/200/400Gb is widespread in high-performance (HPC or big AI) datacenters.
I am confused. Isnt the whole point of this that these programs provably do what they do? Isnt that the opposite of LLMs?

Seems more like LLMs made something more immediately useful.
what higher taxes?
For real, this is the only case where I wouldn't mind AWS to actually use their market size firepower. Throttle all of DTAG on a single 1 GBit/s link and tell them, either you peer with us for free like everyone else, or you'll have to deal with annoyed users.
>Yes true hopefully all website are encrypted with ssl, but still an attacker can easily fingerprint me through my internet usage

So an "attacker" can figure out that you browse hacker news. Who cares?
The industry is troubled both by hype marketers who believe LLMs are superhuman intelligence that will replace all jobs, and cynics who believe they are useless word predictors.

Some workloads are well-suited to LLMs. Roughly 60% of applications are for knowledge management and summarization tasks, which is a big problem for large organizations. I have experience deploying these for customers in a niche vertical, and they work quite well. I do not believe they're yet effective for 'agentic' behavior or anything using advanced reasoning. I don't know if they will be in the near future. But as a smart, fast librarian, they're great.

A related area is tier one customer service. We are beginning to see evidence that well-designed applications (emphasis on well-designed -- the LLM is just a component) can significantly bring down customer service costs. Most customer service requests do not require complex reasoning. They just need to find answers to a set of questions that are repeatedly asked, because the majority of service calls are from people who do not read docs. People who read documentation make fewer calls. In most cases around 60-70% of customer service requests are well-suited to automating with a well-designed LLM-enabled agent. The rest should be handled by humans.

If the task does not require advanced reasoning and mostly involves processing existing information, LLMs can be a good fit. This actually represents a lot of work.

But many tech people are skeptical, because they don't actually get much exposure to this type of work. They read the docs before calling service, are good at searching for things, and excel at using computers as tools. And so, to them, it's mystifying why LLMs could still be so valuable.
I often like to observe that there is capitalism and then there is Capitalism with a an uppercase--dare I say "capital"--letter C.

The first is a kind of economic engineering with trade-offs and conditions and acknowledged edge-cases, the second is a brand supported by some rather culty dogma.
Oh boy. I'm currently battling with Kubernetes, and I mean it.
Compared to k8s systemd is simple and easy.
I can wholeheartedly say I hate k8s and its guts.
Everything is so overly complicated.
A bazillion configurations for every single little detail.
And she's a touchy little princess.
Hard to find help, expensive courses and a not so great documentation site, that kind of explains the components, but then again really doesn't in detail, also no complete configuration reference.
And no matter which way to setup you choose, something is always wrong.
It's a tool to drive you to expensive public cloud offerings.
For the small price of only ~$2600 per month you can have your 5 node k8s cluster on GCP, cheap cheap.
Burn money money burn money money burn.
Managing and maintaining k8s is a full-time job.

In comparison systemd is well documented and you don't really need to ask people for help.
You can easily use the shell, you don't have to battle with wrong nginx configurations that were autogenerated, because you wrote them and you know what you're doing.

Fleet was cool, but Redhat bought CoreOS and killed fleet, can't have a simple effective system, it has to be complex and enterprise so you can sell services and tutelage.

Erm. So the dates go back before April 1, and this feels too sophisticated to just be a joke, but... is this a real effort? Once it started talking I lost the ability to take it seriously.
Apple's mysterious fisheye projection
I think this is the old way of thinking about it.

Skipping the broader discussion of AI, the ridiculous amount of automatic and human impossible pattern, matching and correlation with seemingly harmless data is something that I don’t think we are equipped to fully comprehend.

The time at which I hit some meta CDN, seems harmless. Until combined with some cookie and some access time to some asset it uniquely identifies me to previously anonymized data.

So no, I do not think HTTP and a good DNS are enough.
So it was literally the job of ten grad students to do "hot or not" on VCs and entrepreneurs, but for science.
I'm convinced that if police ticketed people for tailgating like they do for speeding it would save thousands of lives.
I think this is one of the biggest misunderstandings about security that there's one linear scale and that every solution can be assigned a generic positive/negative delta on that.

Layout has always been easy to learn but difficult to master. This has been true since long before the advent of CSS and the web. You think the folks working at newspapers of record never had to hack something up to make it fit right above the fold? And their output targets were static!
Changing the "secure dns" option on their phone/computer is probably easier than installing a VPN app, tbh.
I don't think that's universally true of all AI enhancement though. Information that is "missing" in one frame might be pulled in from a nearby frame. As others have pointed out, we are in the infancy of video enhancement and the future is not fundamentally limited.

If that takes away from the artistic nature of the film I understand the complaint, but I look forward to seeing this technology applied where the original reel has been damaged. In those cases we are already missing out on what the director intended.
How long to transmit the 368 TB?

Each Ethernet port is at 200 Gb, that is,
200 billion bits per second or about 20
billion bytes per second or 20 BBs.

Two such ports are 40 BBps

The 368 TB is 368,000 GB

So, the transmit time is at least

368,000 / ( 40 * 3600 ) = 2.556 hours
IP addresses and host names (as defined in SNI).

A few things:

Redis Data Tiering - Redis Enterprise and AWS Elasticache for Redis support data tiering (using SSD for 80% of the dataset and moving things in and out). On AWS, a cache.r6gd.4xlarge with 100GB of memory can handle 500GB of data.

Local Files

> I can also cache it on disk, but then I need to think about cache expiration myself.

Is the challenge that you need it shared among many machines? On a single machine you can put 20 million files in a directory hierarchy and let the fs cache keep things hot in memory as needed. Or use SQLite which will only load the pages needed for each query and also rely on the fs cache.

S3 - An interesting solution is one of the SQLite S3 VFS's. Those will query S3 fairly efficiently for specific data in a large dataset.
This already happens in Spain. It is very common that the private eviction services negotiate rather than force them out. And the negotiation is basically a piece of the payment, say, they might split 2.5k/2.5k and both squatter and evictor go home happy, and the owner is 5k worse off.

They obviously often know each other, but as far as I known, they have never found them being explicit accomplices.
This is really not true in WAL mode with synchronous NORMAL, this was only true with the default journal mode and a lot of people are misusing sqlite because of that. You still have one writer at a time but you wont get the SQLITE_BUSY error.

You can check the documentation [1], only some rare edge cases return this error in WAL. We abuse our sqlite and I never saw it happen with a WAL db.

I reckon the majority of VPN sales are actually people being bombarded by adverts and sponsorships for VPNs and think that is actually of benefit. I am constantly bombarded by questions on which VPN product to use from people who are even unaware you can steal content.

Your expectations are unreasonable. The medical system is extremely expensive to operate. Highly paid physicians should be reserved for delivering the most complex care.

If consumers need guidance on making healthier lifestyle choices then doctors aren't even the best source. Utilize cheaper professionals for that stuff: therapists, counselors, social workers, dieticians, personal trainers, etc.
The readings coming out of it are basically meaningless & only vaguely correlate with what's happening it the room
LLMs today still struggle to met specifications exactly, which is what synthesis is good at.
I would like to know why grid operators turn portions off instead of installing devices to mitigate the fire risk when a fault occurs. “Rapid Earth Fault CLearance” devices (REFCL), also known as ground fault neutralizers, are a newish but commercially available technology that massively reduces current, and thus heating energy, delivered into a ground fault. In testing in Australia, a REFCL-protected line was intentionally dropped into dry plants without setting them on fire.

What gives? I doubt these devices are so expensive that they’re worse than the cost of “public safety power shutdowns” or of the billions of dollars that utilities are spending, and charging customers for, for undergrounding of lines and extra tree work.

Hang on now, you've begged the question.

Your data shows that traffic citations are down. It doesn't show anything about whether that's due to lax enforcement or less occurrences.

In fact, if you look at a lot of those graphs, they hit a low point in 2020 - right when covid WFH would have drastically reduced a lot of traffic, and in turn, traffic crimes.
