> all Infra teams, have infrastructure to install OS (and manage the fleet), then post-install customize the OS to which team is requesting, usually done via puppet or ansible to manage the configuration.

Yep! And it takes time and effort to maintain your Puppet/Chef/Ansible/Terraform/OpenTofu scripts as well as your golden images as well as triaging escalations as well as other incidental work. This means you don't have as much time to work on tuning or debugging, because you'll have dozens of tools (some in-house, others purchased) to manage.

Furthermore, most people recognize Hardware specialized IT Administration is increasingly a career dead end, so most end up switching to Engineering, Sales Engineering, or Support Engineering due to better career opportunities.

> I would be shocked if Oracle support (or any other vendor) is given login access to make changes on servers owned by clients. At best, you open a case, you get an incompetent support person who'll send you documentation.

This is the norm in most mid- and upper-market support contracts. You'll have a dedicated TAM, Support Eng, and CSM who will handhold teams, and will have access to the underlying infrastructure.

> Oracle support does not replace admins. Oracle support gives you access to bug fixes, updates, documentation. I believe you can download most Oracle software for free, but without the docs and updates, its worthless. Other vendors may use the opposite strategy, docs openly available but software downloads are paid/subscriptions.

Depending on your contract, you would be given a dedicated TAM team and support team to debug any issues in the Oracle stack.

> In reality though, there will always be admins, then a whole lot DevOps/Cloud Ops/Kubernetes/SRE/etc people added, smooth talking manager/director increasing the spend from what could be done on bare-metal under 20K to a 20 million dollar multi cloud strategy. Why have 3 admins report to you, when you can have an army of 200 people do the same work for 100x more cost? Success stories and promotions all around!

That "smooth-talking manager" needs to justify to the CFO, COO, CTO, VP Eng, etc that for $X spent, I can get 1.5 * $X back.

As I've mentioned on multiple different occasions on HN, spend on on-prem infra is treated as part of the Finance+ITOps budget, not the DevOps budget (which is generally within R&D).

Procurement is hard, and you need to JUSTIFY a 1% increase in headcount

For example, let's assume you are hiring 3 IT Admins for $120k.
That ends up costing $700-800k/yr because of benefits and incidentals.
The compute as well is an additional $200-300k.

This means you are spending $900k/yr AT BEST.

That $200-300k in compute becomes $500k with a support contract, and you can hire 1 person for $120k to manage that.

This means you're spending around $750k/yr AT BEST.

That extra $150K can then be given to Engineering to help give bonuses to attract good dev talent or hire some additional headcount on the Sales side to sell the product you are hired to build.

Interesting model. As a designer currently exploring options outside of the increasingly competitive full-time market, I’d love to learn some more about how you’re making this work.

On the pricing front, I would suggest this: look at how your customer base breaks down between your two pricing tiers. If it’s weighted toward the higher tier, that may be a signal that you can push higher. Maybe experiment with raising that tier first?
Really good snapshot capabilities, if that's your kind of thing.

Workstation (and Fusion too I think) also provide DirectX 10 + 11 support in Windows VMs.

So if you're wanting to run software that uses that in a Windows, you'll need something like Workstation or Fusion since virt-manager can't (yet) do that.

For airlines and many other things you also have to consider the case that people might switch to even worse alternatives if the cost is too high. If airlines have to raise the prices too high for added safety features, people will switch to cars which are several orders of magnitude worse in safety. So airplanes might become safer but society may be overall worse off.
They've had three charging sockets (30 pin, Lightning, USB-C) in 17 years. I don't think that's particularly onerous?
They’re clearly not doing more than anyone given that their emissions rate per capita and as a proportion of industrial output keeps climbing.

Claiming the US and EU ‘outsourced’ emissions to China is an overly simplistic view, and one that ignores the way China developed its own industry and targeted the developing world as a market for its goods long before US and EU companies outsourced en masse.

China now emits more than 60% as much per capita as the US, where thirty years ago it was more like 5%. In fact, China’s emissions have been so high in the past thirty years that their total emissions are now also up to more than half of all US emissions since 1850.

So, yes, China is a bad emitter and has already contributed more to global warming than anyone other than the US. What’s more, their emissions growth rate remains unsustainably high.

Also, none of what I’ve been saying is about deflecting blame from the US. It’s had a huge part to play in global warming too, and needs to do a lot more.
>LLMs are gigantic curves fitted to civilizational scale datasets

>A language model is a mathematical construct

That is like telling someone from the Middle Ages that a gun is merely an assemblage of metal parts not too different from the horseshoes and cast-iron nails produced by your village blacksmith and consequently it is safe to give a child a loaded gun.

ADDED. Actually a better response (because it does not rely on an analogy) is to point out that none of the people who are upset over the possibility that most of the benefits of AI might accrue to a few tech titans and billionaires would be in the least bit re-assured by being told that an AI model is just a mathematical construct.

I think the preying part of therapy is that there's just no defined stop condition. There's no such thing as "healthy" in mental health. You get chemo until you go into remission or you die. You take blood pressure meds until you have a better lifestyle and body composition and don't need them anymore, etc. There's no analogue for "you're healthy now, go away so I can help others", and so therapy goes on forever until the patient stops for whatever reason.
It's like if eBay and Altavista had a child in 1995.

Show HN: Pincone – Get newsletters in one place and clean up your email inbox
Hi everyone, Pincone founder here!

We just launched a really big update to Pincone that's been a long time in the making. Up until now, Pincone has been a great place for you to save websites and articles. It also allows you to subscribe to RSS feeds across the web. Now, it's even better with _Inboxes_!

*Inboxes make it possible to receive newsletters and emails within Pincone, to an inbox of your choosing.* No more cluttering your personal or professional email accounts with dozens of subscriptions! Every inbox that you create in Pincone gets a unique email address that you can use to subscribe to one or more newsletters.

I've been testing this out internally for a few months and it's just amazing. My biggest problem with newsletters is that they are intermixed with my work and personal emails. Even if I get a newsletter that I find interesting, I am usually in the middle of something else. With this release, all of those emails are in Pincone where I can catch up with them whenever I have some time. Usually on lazy Sundays morning with a cup of coffee.

I would love it if you would give Pincone a try. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback just leave a comment below! Thanks everyone!
>(1) they must have SQL injection bugs all over the app and (2) they probably aren’t hashing passwords.

Actually, one I've run into is web-framework-level security systems that are hard to disable. Stuff that prevents users from keying in, like XSS attacks. It's not that the password field is being used unsafely, it's that the web framework they're stuck on makes disabling security on a certain text field more complicated than it needs to be and telling the users "screw it, don't use this character in that password" is easier than figuring out how to get the Rube Goldberg machine to do what you actually want. Back-end languages aren't hot garbage like html+js+css so usually it's normal proper BCrypt in the back.

Obviously a modern web framework won't have this problem, but a lot of sites are old and still running on messy cobbled-together piles of JQuery.

Many places could increase food production to twice what it is today if 5C warmer.
I think the price has stealthily increased as the required dressings got more demanding. Like the initial pi could be powered by any random phone charger you had laying around. But the new ones are a lot more picky and demanding. The new one also really demands a cooling solution, which is yet another cost the old one didn't have without being an actual MSRP increase.

By the time you fully dress a pi now it's like $100-130. The pi itself is only like half the cost if that.

Well, conveniently, this is benefitting the 1% much more than the 99%
I don't think the comparison of streaming and cable is actually helping her case here.

Just look at most streaming services right now: They keep on increasing prices, they restrict account sharing and thus forcing every individual to either purchase their own subscription or risk losing access while the content is being spread over a growing amount of streaming services and almost all are ramping up on the amount of advertising they serve unless you opt-out by switching to a higher tiered subscription.

If streaming is any indicator, you'll soon have to rent a car from a specific "car as a service" provider to access or park in certain districts of the city you live in while you have to endure advertising before you can start the engine or while you wait in traffic.

You don't want to rely on a car subscription service if you want to remain mobile and you don't have that much money to spend.

Not to forget that this pays heavily into the "you'll own nothing and be happy" WEF agenda.

(And I don't even own a car or license and just do everything by bicycle so I'm not even directly affected by this.)

That doesn't make sense. If I wanted to type a password into some other program for whatever reason I wouldn't find out that I can't paste into the password field until I had already tried.
I’m not sure how that approach prevents the rust compiler that’s used to build binaries from injecting its malicious payload. (You could build A with B and B with A, and diff the binaries, I guess).

Another approach is proof carrying code: The rust compiler would emit a coq proof that its executable output matches the semantics of the source code input.

Of course, you could also write a compiler of a subset of rust (perhaps without the borrow checker or optimizations) in machine code for one architecture, then bootstrap everything with that.

I’m genuinely curious - do you actually believe that GPT is a super intelligence? Because I have the opposite experience. It consistently fails to be correct on following even the most basic instructions. For a little while I thought maybe I’m doing it wrong, and I need better prompts, but then I realized that its zero shot and few shot capabilities are really hit and miss. Furthermore, a superior intelligence shouldn’t need us to conform to its persnickety requirements, and it should be able to adapt far better than it actually does.

You can't grow food for a large population when average planetary temps are at +5C. It doesn't mean it's locally always +5C warmer than it used to be; it means you're seeing insane temperature swings in a matter of days, constantly - in both directions, it just so happens that the average is +5C.

Not to mention, at +5C it is all but certain shallow methane hydrate deposits (those stabilized by temperature, not pressure) all over the world are now outgassing CH4; not to mention several other similar tripwires, and likely not all of which we've even identified.

Edit: I can't seem to be able to reply to your comment below, not sure why. You're absolutely wrong about those Siberia figures, and they're not supported by current scientific consensus.

I'm lucky enough to live somewhere where I can do all my day-to-day things (e.g., work, gym, groceries) without a car. Bike, bus, and walking can get me almost everywhere I want to go within 5 miles of my home, which would otherwise account for the majority of my car trips [1]. I still own a (small) car, but it's relegated to weekend pleasure driving and occassional big-things-transport. It's amazing not having to stress about parking, gas prices, or being stuck in traffic alongside everyone else commuting via single-occupant cars.
