If you are browsing with an ad-blocker you are not their target audience. Then Google may seem dead to you, but more accurately you are dead to Google.
Trying to get a grasp on consensus nowadays on any question on the internet is almost impossible.

Way too much astroturfing, shills and what I suspect are semiautomatic bots.

For reviews, Youtube reviews seem to be the best approach. At worst it becomes like a TV shop commercial and you can see that the table saw can atleast actually saw or if it behaves like it would have bad quality.

Some people seem genuine in the 'still too small for money to be made' channels. But it seems like there are not a lot of subscribera needed before they start to make ads for VPNs... so they are approached by marketing quite early.

What's odd about One is it seems such a small thing for them to do given all the things they already do. They already have a global network, so VPN makes sense. They already have a lot of cloud storage, and know how to run cloudy things. They already have the phones to put it on.

It's not like Google is going to stop here.

So, at this point I think the site owner can go the extra mile and create a bot that keeps track of HN or reddit topics for related headlines and post the running count along with a summary of popular products that Google axed and may be some trivia too.
It's the top search engine by a large margin and generates tens of billions of revenue.

Just having it as an Android feature would be pretty good. Millions of phones, all paying $5/month for these features.
I know. Right. Its not like they are searching any sort of volume.
> Swapping 32GB of memory in and out of an NVMe SSD is much faster than swapping 1GB out of a spinning disk so I really don't get that argument.

This is true, but it still takes time. What kind of workload do you have where you swap out 32GB of RAM? If you are in this situation you almost certainly need to buy these additional 32GB of RAM.
Then when you say, that Linux is not yet prepared for desktop, they will mention that they have been using linux for years and it is ready.
Pretty sure a product at this scale that required several XFN teams to execute on was not dreamt up by a couple people wanting a promotion.

This was a product that was meant to drive some KPI metric of some large organization, and it was launched with the full intention to drive it for years. Then when it wasn't meeting some target, instead of steering the ship in the right direction, the directors or VPs who funded the effort likely got bored and moved on to the next KPI.

I'm sure a lot of folks at the bottom worked very hard on it and were proud of it and definitely deserved the praise on their performance reviews. However, once it lost its director or VP support, there would have been no way to keep it running.

Still using Google Workspace in our company to collaborate and send/receive emails, still using Google Maps for recommendations and routes, still using a Google phone. I guess the answer is no.
The following is all guess work:

Since the start of their partnership in 2019, OpenAI has primarily utilized Microsoft's Azure data centers for training its models. In 2023, Microsoft acquired approximately 150,000 H100 GPUs. [1]

The initial version of GPT-4 ran on a cluster of A100 GPUs. It is likely that GPT-5 will run on the newly acquired H100 GPUs, and it is plausible that GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-4o also utilize this infrastructure. The inference speed of GPT-5 should not be significantly slower than that of GPT-4 to ensure it remains practical for most applications.

Assuming the H100 is 4.6 times faster for inference than the A100 [2], this gives us a lower bound for performance expectations. I anticipate GPT-5 to be at least five times larger in terms of model parameters. Given that both A100 and H100 have a maximum capacity of 80GB, it is unlikely we will see a single gigantic model. Instead, we can expect an increase in the number of experts. If GPT-4 operates as a mixture of experts with 8x220 billion parameters, then GPT-5 might scale up to something like 40x220 billion parameters. However, the exact release date, safety measures, and benchmark performance of GPT-5 remain uncertain.

Which company is better?

When it comes to that level of data and maturity I think there is no valid competition.

I've consciously made the decision that I don't care what Google does with my data. They're going to attempt to track me regardless of if I use their services or not. I have friends who live off grid to get away from internet tracking but I don't envy their lifestyle.

So I think like most conscious people we just make the decision to willingly hand over whatever data we might be leaking to these companies, just for the convenience. Life is short, and filled with enough suffering, I don't need to inflict it upon myself in my daily routines.

My only guess is that it was a "pick as many as apply" question. It's the only way it makes sense to me.
Why? Have you actually looked at the numbers and did the math, or are you scared out of FUD and think the sky is falling every time write calls are made to the SSD?

I treat my 1TB SSD like a loaner and after doing the math, based on my write patterns in the last 2 years, the SSD should wear out in about ..checks notes.. 12 years. I'm a lot more likely to replace it 2-4 years though to upgrade to a bigger and faster model anyway.

Plus, all storage dies eventually, that's why backups are important. You paid for it, you might as well make the most use of it while it lasts instead of trying to "hypermile it" since you won't be leaving it as inheritance to your grandchildren.
Given openFPGA on the Analogue Pocket, if you can get one at msrp, the extra $20 makes that device seem like a way better value than this.
The problem isn't really with swap, it's that people try to use a very blunt instrument (disabling swap) to deal with with an ill-defined problem (thrashing and the system slowing down to a crawl).

There's really no way to tune a system's swap size for ideal responsiveness. You can have a 32GB RAM + 32GB swap system perform great, and a 32 GB + 8 GB system perform miserably.

The problem is the working set, which is an often hard to predict quantity dependent on runtime factors. You can swap out 30GB of unused junk to disk and have excellent performance, but if you're constantly going through 33 GB of data on a 32 GB system, performance is going to be awful.

So really want you want to avoid this last case from hanging the system is to measure the system's responsiveness and act in response to that, instead of going for trying to get rid of the swap file. You can do that with something like systemd-oomd, which starts killing stuff when things are starting to get slow rather than when some arbitrary usage number is reached.
Yeah. Some of the reasons on that list are debatable

I think swap is useful as a temporary memory overflow area, but that's it. Actually "running relying on swap" is harmful

Items 1 and 2 on the list sound like fiction. Item 4 sounds plausible (same for the Windows 9X series - sigh - where cache and swap would allegedly fight each other)

> This means that, in general, vm.swappiness is simply a ratio of how costly reclaiming and refaulting anonymous memory is compared to file memory for your hardware and workload.

But I think this ignores the likelihood that I want this particular memory reclaimed. It is not equal for files and anon memory. At least on my systems, if anon memory is dirty, it's because I did something with it, and if I haven't freed it, that means I'm still working with it. But there's all sorts of stuff that just kind of ends up in the disk cache, which I will never touch again. It is irrelevant to me that refaulting a swapped anon page is no slower than rereading a file, because the probability that the first will happen is so much greater than the second.

For all that systems try to guess about which pages are in use, or will be used again soon, I find they pretty much all get it wrong and as a result the system gets janky, and it's best to simply weight keeping anon memory in core much higher. I expect disk access to be slow when I read a file. I do not expect ctrl-tab to be slow, ever.
Nice!

For the record: the valid chars string is 62 characters, so naively using a modulo on a random byte will technically introduce a bias (since dividing 256 values by 62 leaves a remainder). I don't expect it to really matter here, but since you're putting in the effort of using crypto.randomBytes I figured you might appreciate the nitpick ;).

Melissa E. O'Neill has a nice article explaining what the problem is, and includes a large number of ways to remove the bias as well:

https://www.pcg-random.org/posts/bounded-rands.html

(in this case adding two more characters to the validChars string would be the easiest and most efficient fix, but I'm not sure if that is a possibility here)

This is fair, I shouldn't have omitted them. They do level the ratio of launches to shutdowns a bit. They slipped my mind because I personally never use of think of them, but they're definitely there.
I think you're talking about your personal machines and this author is talking about data centres. If there's never any memory pressure in your data centre you're wasting money on RAM.
In the DB we use[1] the internal row id is not stable:

The value returned by the function is not necessarily constant between queries as various operations performed on the database may result in changes to the row identifiers of a table.

So, users should refrain from using the ROWID function in ordinary situations; retrieval by primary key value should be used instead.

Unrelated but feels like gaming somehow avoided this "milking" cycle of franchises since indies games can thrive alongside with AA/AAA. Although milking happens with franchises like CoD and those EA sports games but beyond that there's always something news in term of concept, genres, etc.

How does the gaming industry does this so well? Is it due to low barrier of entries? Or something else I'm unsure of.
>just get a 16GB RAM stick for $40

Laptops come with soldered RAM now where upgrades are not possible. And most people use laptops nowadays instead of desktops.

Buying another laptop to double your ram just because you hit the swap once in a blue moon is kinda wasteful.
Hopefully many other important things by Google don't bite the dust. I extensively use Keep, Scholar, and Finance. I don't see if any of them make money for Google which is what seems like the only metric they care about anyway.

Or if the plan is to get the shares cheaply: Poop and scoop.
Yeah the only reason I've ever needed swap was to compile chonk cpp packages on SBC systems that simply don't have enough ram to load it all. With swap it works fine, otherwise the system just freezes entirely. Despite what OP claims, emergency memory is literally the only case I've ever had for it over the years. On desktop buying more ram is trivial.

What if I don't have no more free DIMM slots but I already have 1 TiB NVMe and I am fine with my workload being finished slightly (or even noticeably) slower as opposed to not being able to do at all?

As an example of such workload: a server, one of the many, that runs financial calculations from many web users. It's fine for it to become somewhat slower: we'll notice the performance degradation in the metrics and stop accepting new connections for a while. It is not fine for it to just die with OOM ― the users automatically will reconnect to other servers, leading to a sort of a thundering herd scenario.

What makes you think that Lisps don't have powerful type systems as well? For many years significant research has been conducted on type systems specifically in Racket. In Clojure, you can do interesting things, such as defining complex data and function specifications like "this function should always return prime numbers", which generally speaking is difficult to achieve in many other languages.

I'm sorry that is not correct at all. It does not match the string "aaaaa" for example.
But we don't live in legacy times we live in present times. So is it too much to expect people on a tech forum to be at least a bit up to date on the present tech instead of regurgitating fears 10 years out of date?

If you're wearing out your SSD life endurance in a few years, you have an issue.
That only really applies if the company shorting the stock is lying. Otherwise it's the market working exactly as it is intended.
Of course it always depends, but my experience is people reach for distributed systems when they can simply run a single node.

If you can run a single node, and it meets all your business requirements, then I’d argue that is simpler than having to manage the very challenging problems inherent in distributed systems.

A simple web app can run 100k+ connections per second with latency in the 100s of microseconds. This is 2 orders of magnitude better than most apps need.

If you want durability you can use a service like RDS which takes care of replication and backups for you.

That’s my advice anyway.
> If you have enough money to provision NVMe and still swap multiple gigabytes, just get a 16GB RAM stick for $40.

Why should I pay $40 when I have way more than 16GB of free SSD storage on my computer already?!
this was fixed some 8-10 years ago when most apps trying to make money shifted to subscription services. You can't pirate an APK if it's just a thin client.

There's definitely free/OS ways to run a VPN, but it definitely a clunky process with limited locations available.

I just wonder how attaching the tiles can be so hard. I would understand if it were the tiles themselves delaminating and the top layer falling off - high temperature ceramics aren't known for strength.

But it appears the tile complete with its steel mount is coming detached from the ship. Just weld it on better? Bolt it on? Design better clips? Use some thermite type reaction to weld it on behind the tile so it never comes off again?

Seems like there's a lot of options to try, so how come they've been having issues for so long?

Half of the reason Lisp never caught on is that other languages have become better and added many of the Lisp features. First-class functions especially are is the killer feature you can't live without anymore once you tasted it.

The other thing that pg keeps hammering on about is Lisp Macros which I am not well versed enough to properly say how good of a feature they are. The alternatives most other languages have are much less powerful, but at the same time it seems that macros are very... abstract-y?

Modern software design thinking says that abstractions should be avoided when possible because they make the code harder to grasp for people not familiar with the abstraction on top of making the code too rigid and hard to modify once new requirements come in.

The alternatives to Lisp Macros like codegen, method annotations, Rust Macros. Are all much less powerful and usually harder to create, but maybe that is a good thing.
