But that still doesn't explain the common denominator between a person living comfortably and a person in poverty both not understanding how tax brackets work or ever having to consider the most basic parts of how their own taxes are calculated, for so, so many years of their lives.
>get enough Bürgergeld, that actually working would lower their income.

This very rarely ever happens by accident. It's a useful policy hack for people "who pay millions in taxes" because it disincentivizes their workers from pushing for a pay raise.

This way they can leech more of the surplus value of their labor.
Assuming $25k a pop, that’s at least $100k in just the GPUs alone. Throw in their linking technology (NVLink) and cost for the remaining parts, won’t be surprised if you’re looking at $150k for such a cluster. Which is not bad to be honest, for something at this scale.

Can anyone share the cost of their pre-built clusters, they’ve recently started selling? (sorry feeling lazy to research atm, I might do that later when I have more time).

Where the fuck do you think I say a worker should not get paid? These stink pieces are usually from people who want free this and free that, in this particular case free education. Higher education is subsidized in the UK so naturally I assume this author wants more money to be stolen through taxes to pay for his unused degree and possibly worthless degree. Being a low paid waiter probably means he's under the threshold at which he has to pay back his subsidy.

I think this issue was sort of cracked-open and popularized recently by this particular video from Level1Techs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzHcrbT5D_Y

Towards the middle of the video it brings up some very interesting evidence, from online game server farms that use 13900 and 14900 variants for their high single-core performance for the cost, but with server-grade motherboards and chipsets that do not do any overclocking, and would be considered "conservative". But these environments show a very high statistical failure rate for these particular CPU models. This suggests that some high percentage of CPUs produced are affected, and it's long run-time over which the problem can develop, not just enthusiast/gamer motherboards pushing high power levels.
I'm storing free slots right now, but either would be ok if a data structure would benefit from the other representation.

The slow cases usually tend to be trying to find wider slots and skipping through many smaller slots. There are often a lot of bookings up to the first wide enough slot too though, so it's a little bit of both.
There are many ways to get Elastic wrong, index templates and field types, shard sizes, number of primary and replica shards, node heap size, and those are only a fraction. It's very easy to get Loki right in comparison.
The road wasn't closed. Google Maps was wrong.

And with a paper map, you would have the intuition that it might be stale, so you ask a local. Whereas Google Maps is marketed as the latest and greatest and most up-to-date, so you wind up trusting it, even over your own senses sometimes!

The trust is the mistake, but it's hard not to fall into that trap when it works reasonably well most of the time. But it's a fragile system--when it fails, you're truly SOL. Whereas paper and people are anti-fragile--they're less trustworthy but because of that, they're also more resilient. Who hasn't gotten directions from a stranger and wondered if they were a troll or an imbecile? And then either gotten a second opinion or proceeded with caution?
Money which itself barely covers the cost that having kids puts on you…

It’s challenging to capture the additional value and the forecasts are pretty good because of continual large-scale government investment into weather forecasting. NOAA is launching satellites! it’s a big deal!

Private nuclear research is heavily dependent on governmental contracts to function. Solar was subsidized to heck and back for years. Public investment does work, and does make a didference.

I would even say governmental involvement is sometimes even the deciding factor, to determine if research is worth pursuing. Some major capital investors have decided AI models cannot possibly gain enough money to pay for their training costs. So what do we do when we believe something is a net good for society, but isn’t going to be profitable?
lvm requires unallocated space in the volume which makes it kind of garbage to use for snapshots
Think about a company like ADT - they are selling security systems, but the people who really really need security (large clients with large IT budgets) would never buy an ADT system.

So like it or not, you're going to be going door to door and helping smaller clients integrate this into their systems.

I think the right way to approach this would be to better understand the problems your clients would face when trying to integrate this kind of system, and then figure out how to solve them at scale in a way that you make customer acquisition and onboarding easier in the future.

Maybe it's things like creating base docker images for common services or OS pairings that have your stack already integrated. Maybe it's turnkey integrations with existing cloud identity providers or SSO. Maybe it's tailscale integration.

In fact tailscale is probably a good model to look at here - no large organization with an existing VPN solution is moving to tailscale, or at least weren't when they first started. But tailscale made a hard thing easy, and that's exactly what you're doing here.

Hey Suchintan! Great to see you here - we're happy that you've been using Briefer!

Regarding your questions:

1. Briefer is definitely a Jupyter replacement and it can be a Metabase replacement. Most of our users with BI use cases start using Briefer for more advanced types of dashboards and analyses, and they eventually end up slowly replacing their traditional BI with Briefer.

2. That's indeed something that's crossed our minds before. We're not open-sourcing it right now though.

Taking into account only the federal income tax brackets, this is true. But tax cliffs exist, e.g. see: https://smartasset.com/financial-advisor/tax-cliff so accounting for all taxes and other factors, there could be a situation where you earn more pre-tax, but end up with less after all is accounted for. For most high-earners it's less relevant as they are past of the most cliffs anyway, but sometimes things like losing access to IRA deductions may be a factor too.
Interesting argument. This assumes that cognition must also be happening on a compact manifold which seems like a reasonable assumption but the conclusion is somewhat counterintuitive because it means there are only finitely many personality types and ways of thinking.

>We are coasting on the gains, relationships and industries established before 1990. This is where our standing and wealth comes from and we are simply riding on that high until it pops.

And more and more of that is either going bankrupt or is being outsourced to China. Whole sectors are step by step becoming non-competitive. Manufacturing, which has been the most important wealth generator for the lower middle class, is going away. Engineering is only relevant if you can innovate, which for many, many reason doesn't really happen. In Germany a very experienced Software developer makes a pittance compared to what you can in the US with much less experience, even before taxes.

Of course it doesn't really help that much of the population is not particularly inclined to do anything engineering/scientific/manufacturing related and actively looks down on that.

Honestly, I am "optimistic" that multiple big manufacturers will fail before that, together with their suppliers.
> ... stay in school and learn what you're being taught.

Agreed with you there (:

And generally, doing what you (ethically) can to give yourself a leg up is great. But I find that approach/attitude can get dicey when it is then used to cast judgement on other people (I'm not saying you were, just going on a tangent here). Acknowledging the sometimes-overwhelming effects of luck on a person's life, despite their best efforts, has helped me be more empathetic, I think.

If someone is down-and-out, maybe they were lazy or wasted their opportunities, but maybe they didn't, and they just got waylaid by misfortune. Keeping that in mind helps me hold back from shouting at them to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps!" or such. That may be helpful in the former case, but can be hurtful in the latter.

A comment, the one I am responding to, that would fit much better in the "hopeful" bucket than in the "realistic" one.

I, like many others, hold a white-collar job in a technology company, not FAANG, with a salary between 300 and 400K per year, with lunch breaks, paid vacation days, good health insurance, and the opportunity to work from home at least 75% of the time.

At the end of my workday, which I have not found to be stressful in at least 3 years, I am fresh, hydrated, and ready to spend late afternoons, evenings, and nights pursuing my interests, taking care of the kids, and maybe learning French at last.
I see guys running fairly successful local businesses, both physical and digital. Assuming you have a choice between the two paths, a brief look at the physical condition and a conversation with me and the business owner would quickly lead you to prefer one of the two paths.

I might be privileged, lucky, in an unusual situation. But the same is true for the successful local entrepreneur running a plumbing business with profits equivalent to those of experienced people working in tech.
Crime, criminals. Mostly organized crime, but the occasional whack jobs who “just need an edge”. Doesn’t matter where you are in the organizational hierarchy, I’d argue the most at risk are the lowest level employees.
I'm less worried about the size and more about something breaking when doing a recovery.

Let's say you're running Fedora with Gnome and you want to switch to KDE without doing a fresh install. You make a backup, then go through the dozens of commands to switch, with new packages installed, some removed, display managers changed etc. Now something doesn't work. Would recovering from the restic backup reliably bring the system back in order?

The tool from the original post seems to be geared towards that, while most Restic and rclone examples seem to be geared towards /home backup, so I wonder how much this is actually an alternative.
I am curious how it would compare to using pandoc with readability algorithm for example.
Yeah, very roughly speaking.

In the philosophic position of mereological nihilism only "simples" exist when discussing objects, etc, simples are akin to byte types for sure and primitive types maybe.

Nothing complex, like objects, higher level types, etc. exist.

Composition of simples in time and space is what determines everything other than simples. Anything that isn't a simple is just emergent from the space/time arrangement of the simples.

So if the implications are that nothing is real outside of time/space/simples, then calling something higher level a "type" is to label something as discrete and real when it isn't, so now you are using language and models that are wrong to reason about things, which means your model will have frustrating drift from reality that you can't rectify.

That's where schemas come in, we are just labeling common arrangements of simples for semantic reasons but they don't really exist so they shouldn't be elevated to the position of a type as that is a wrong abstraction and causes divergence and mess.
Just a reading note to myself: the key assumption is that there is a "resolving limit" \epsilon such that symbols that are "closer and smaller" than \epsilon are indistinguishable. The implicit assumption there is that you can resize symbols while keeping them the same.

It has always been a bad idea to dispatch so naively and dispatch to the same number of threads as you have cores. What if a couple cores are busy, and you spend almost twice as much time as you need waiting for the calculation to finish? I don't know how much software does that, and most of it can be easily fixed to dispatch half a million rows at a time and get better performance on all computers.

Also on current CPUs it'll be affected by hyperthreading and launch 28 threads, which would probably work out pretty well overall.
