The value proposition of "the cloud" is to ease all the "not important at first but you'll need one day" things: logging, alerting, availability, backups, SSO etc which usually requires different know-how from what devs have.

But it has become so complex that instead of an OPS team you now have a Cloud team. With a huge wallet.

Best of both worlds is to setup your own Cloud on multiple VPS which is relatively easy nowadays: HAproxy, Rancher, Kubernetes, , Keycloack, Openwhisk, Gitlab, Harbor, Opentelemtry + Prometheus + Grafana and your devops will feel right at home.
Nobody has decided what the post-experiment policy will be. A second language is new grounds for the kernel. Ted is assuming in order to interfere with the experiment.
I remember when I first evaluated “regulated Cloud”.

Terramark - your $10K per month per server (of very modest specs) for a NIST 800-53 High, convinced me of the fact that much cloud is a giant scam.
Rightly so. Unless you're the CEO/CTO you're not going to be able to fix something like this.
You should always have more than one 2FA. Especially for anything Google as you'll never ever recover the account (unless you are famous or go viral <1%).
A big issue is that it requires a new pen. The earlier pens are not compatible.

I use a 3rd party pen with the RM2, much better ergonomics, but not clear what now will work.

Sorry to be kind of a downer, because the product looks really nice, but I was excited until I realized I couldn't export my site's HTML/CSS and host someplace of my choosing. But overall it looks very impressive.

Higher end German cars typically have a badge delete factory option. I have an older Porsche that came without badges from the factory.

I also think it is in poor taste to have prominent logos or brands on a product… if the manufacturer is going to use me for advertising that needs to be explicitly the deal: they provide the product free, and then we can negotiate how much they will pay on top of that.
A highly interesting release. I love my remarkable2 as a note-taking device. I also own a Kindle and an iPad, so reading books or running apps isn't my requirement. I only need something to take notes and that the remarkable does very well. Funny though, that color wasn't the most missing feature. But it is very intriguing that it seems to have the first full-resolution color displays, with the color being part of the eInk pixels.
From a practical side, the additional screen space probably is the biggest feature to me. I would hope for some more software improvements, like a few more drawing tools, especially as the colors make that even more appealing.
Also, I would like to have an image slide show and of course an official option to customize the sleeping/off display images.
They are, and it is by far the most effective approach for most organizations.
I use Pinboard for managing bookmarks. The tag system is very nice!

Raindrop is another tool in that space, but I haven’t tried it.

A universal triangulation for flat tori (2022)
A result due to Burago and Zalgaller (1960, 1995) states that every orientable polyhedral surface, one that is obtained by gluing Euclidean polygons, has an isometric piecewise linear (PL) embedding into Euclidean space E3. A flat torus, resulting from the identification of the opposite sides of a Euclidean parallelogram, is a simple example of polyhedral surface. In a first part, Lazarus and Tallerie adapt the proof of Burago and Zalgaller, which is partially non-constructive, to produce PL isometric embeddings of flat tori. Their implementation produces embeddings with a huge number of vertices, moreover distinct for every flat torus. In a second part, based on another construction of Zalgaller (2000) and on recent works by Arnoux et al. (2021), they exhibit a universal triangulation with 2434 triangles which can be embedded linearly on each triangle in order to realize the metric of any flat torus.

That is quite different from claiming that if you say “cisgender” you get banned…
America was a colony who overthrew a repressive dictatorship for it's independence.
This doesn't exist. It has been out of stock for at least a year at this point.
While I think civo are doing some pretty novel things to allow kubernetes to run cheaply for small clusters, it’s a mistake to take a vendor’s “report” at face value. It’s a press release.
The key difference is that Brazil is going after right-wingers. Not your average right-winger mind you, those seven accounts were closely related to the Brazilian version of Jan 6th: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Brazilian_Congress_attack

Since right-wingers are pretty much the core audience of Twitter nowadays, they complained, it reached Musk, he decided to take a bold stance, he lost the entire market. Simple as that.
This opinion poll was funded by Civo. I remember they advertised everywhere how fast their K8s startup times are:

https://www.civo.com/kubernetes

So I decided to try it to see it with my own eyes (EKS takes often half an hour or so...) and lo and behold, they use k3s! I mean, there is nothing wrong with that, but it's not mentioned anywhere on their product page so that was a bit misleading.

In any case they have a verification process that I haven't managed to pass. I was surprised because I used the same credit card for Gogle and AWS, but for some reason they closed my account.
Similar experiences with the reMarkable 1. The USB interface really bugs me. It's nice for annotating and highlighting PDFs, but pretty bad for reading. Great for taking notes, but awful at extracting them, unless you get an expensive subscription to their "cloud" garbage, which feels extortionate considering how expensive the device is.
I'm not talking about brand badges, I'm talking about the tacky dealership badges they put on aftermarket.
You can ssh into the remarkable and copy files via scp.
A country typically falls into dictatorship by breaking its own laws. A judge issuing orders without due process and threatening to jail legal representatives of a company (again without due process), kind of seems a little like a dictatorship in the making.
Exactly. Now you’re paying admins and paying Bezos.
> The main character's name is Hiro Protagonist, for example.

It actually isn’t. That is the name he works under, a sort of stage name, as he styles himself as a sort of programmer celebrity. His actual name is Hiroaki. (This is mentioned in the book.)
I feel like this is a really different experience to my own current experience of Twitter.

My timeline notably isn't full of right-wing propaganda, whereas I know plenty of others who complain that this is the case, and who have even left because of it.

I don't understand what is causing people to have these really different experiences with the product, especially given the relatively minimal controls over timeline content that are available (basically follow/unfollow/block).

It's odd.
Couldn't the karma farming also be automated with fairly inoffensive "hey, really cool work!" types of comments?
Thanks for the great question! I totally agree—job boards live or die by the quality and quantity of jobs.

What makes us different is that we focus specifically on cutting-edge industries like AI, quantum computing, and robotics. If you're Acme Inc., we help you reach top-tier talent looking for those kinds of roles. For someone like Jane Appleseed, it’s about finding meaningful jobs in high-impact fields, not just another generic listing.

We’re trying to create a place where talent and companies in innovative spaces can connect and build the future together. Appreciate the feedback!
"Fun" fact: the mentioned combination of solar and battery is something many South Africans already have - but more out of necessity to mitigate the frequent brownouts. The more radical ones even use this to go off the grid, and avoid paying anything to their failing power utility.

>all it can do is oscillate matter in various ways

That is not a trivial effect. A variety of hormones, enzymes etc. in the body are fine tuned to oscillate at their optimum frequencies and that get disrupted by man made EM waves. Note that we are by virtue of evolution (somewhat but not always) immune to natural EM waves. ( sun, cosmic rays etc.). You will have to look into the work of Prof. Trevor Marshall for details. Not surprising, he is generally not takes seriously, so again depends on who you choose to trust.
It is not extremely unlikely, all it takes is for you to unlock your password database on a device with some malware.

The point of a second separate factor is to reduce that risk.
It's a terribly unclear name, though. I had no idea what "No X in Brazil" referred to. I had to clink on the article to find out I don't care.
I've been running Pirsch [0] on Hetzner Cloud for 3 1/2 years now on a self-hosted HashiCorp Nomad cluster. It has been super stable and very cost-effective. The Hetzner VMs are really cheap and a lot more capable at the same time. You can find everything on our blog article [1].

In front of it are two Caddy load balancers, also running on VMs (Hetzner offers load balancers, but we wanted to support custom domains [2]).

The databases are running on root servers though, to get the maximum out of them.

When we started, we used Google Cloud. I think we would be paying at least $2,500/month for the same setup, compared to ~$400 now. And I have happily managed this all by myself. I think a proper sysadmin for a larger corp is worth the cost!

You can easily sync your handwritten notes to your computer and phone for free using the app. Once synced, you can back them up with your preferred method. The cloud service is designed to be a convenient, set-it-and-forget-it option.

Asking for a perpetual cloud synchronization at no cost is bold.
Often the reasoning goes the other way though. We have no idea what's going on but If a patient responded well to antidepressants of all things, that means we diagnose him with depression.
surprisingly, nearly all politicians, from municipal all thew way to european level, still have accounts there.

I often wonder and worry about how they and their social media teams must perceive the world and especially the electorate if they still hang out in this environment.

edit: and as a consequence, most journalists also still have at least an account there. same for them: how do they perceive the world? especially given the propensity for the right wing/fascists for commenting directly on the local news' websites...
I didn't say that you get banned.

Just clarifying the truth of the matter is between what the two posters above me said.
Your power, water and gas supply also come from the 'cloud'. If anything, localized computing devices (Phones + PCs) are significantly more popular than localized power generation/water treatment (garage diesel generator/wells).

Historically, the main economic impetus for centralized government, is to coordinate the construction of irrigation infrastructure. The more dependent a society is on one big river (Ancient China/Egypt), the more centralized it becomes.
Well, you can do OCR while using the device but... it's not on device. The device has to be connected to the Internet for OCR to work. I've never checked where does it connect to do it, as I never use it...
So Twitter is a revolutionary[in Brazil only ]?
On the Mac version of Wiz 1 somehow I rolled a ninja out of the gate, which shouldn't be possible. Because I was in 4th grade and had nothing better to do I remember sitting there for hours re-rolling and re-rolling to see how high I could get and one moment saying "holy shit!".

Fast forward a bit and I had acquired a shuriken. Which if a ninja equips it, they gain a HP. Except that there was no limit to how many times you could do that. So again, because I was in the 4th grade and had nothing better to do, I sat there for hours equipping/un-equipping it to the point where eventually my ninja had hundreds of HP.

Fast forward another bit and I figured out how to duplicate a character. And from that point on my party was fronted by 3 god tier ninjas. Not a surprise that this was my first party where I managed to beat werdna.
Humans are not perfect drivers. They often do make mistakes, but when it is their mistake they think it was a trivial thing, when it was someone else's they think the other guy is bad. Thus everyone thinks they are a great driver - meanwhile millions of people die in car crashes every year (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/road-traffi...). computers have the potential do improve a lot on humans, the only question is will they - I'm optimistic but it remains to be seen.

Tesla claims their autopilot is much better than humans - but unbiased sources that should have data are not talking.
Like-for-like, those costs go down over time and have since we started building datacenters. Electric costs roughly track inflation, but the price of a TB of storage or 10GB switch port or a 24 core CPU goes down over time. That's why it's hard to align the price of cloud services, the underlying fundamentals are understood and they generally track downward, yet somehow AWS and Azure and GC etc all find ways to increase their pricing.
Yes, that’s why I said, “in large part.”

The person I was replying to thought it had entirely to do with the viewing experience which I don’t believe to be true.
There's plenty of competition in this space: Kindle Scribe, Boox Note, Supernote X, Koba Libra, Daylight Computer.
From my past research 13" is the minimum I'd be comfortable with for a tablet that is tailored for research papers. The only one that seemed just right was the Sony DP-1 or (DPT equivalent) though it was around 1000 USD and Windows only compatible (for file sync and what have you).
For those curious, the PineNote is currently $399 + shipping, but out of stock (and has been for some time, not even mentioned on the store home page that includes just about everything else).

It's not just Elon. Michael Shellenberger & TheFP for example has been reporting on this as well. You might not be impressed by the censorship happening in your country, but it's certainly worrying. I wouldn't know what to think if Canada banned Twitter.

Thanks for your comment! Totally agree, LinkedIn is a big player with cheaper options. But if you're a high-tech company, sometimes it’s better to go straight to where your ideal candidates are. We’re focused on niche industries like AI, robotics, and quantum computing, so it’s a more direct way to find specialized talent.

Not everyone should drive. Old people often need to get places but lack the senses needed to drive.
> Remarkable 2 and gave up it almost solely because it didn't support USB mass storage, making it really annoying to transfer files

We had hoped to buy these for all our paperless office employees, and gave it up almost solely because it was far too easy to transfer files.

If they deliver a device with on-device encryption (as this claims) and sync or manual transfer tied (and locked) to company-owned storage, we'd buy them for all our Pro(fessionals).

To your point, instead we give our professionals iPad Air with Paperlike™ for pencil-feel and a keyboard for on-the-go use. We'd rather (for reasons) give them Remarkable Pros if it was capable of meeting Professional data-loss-prevention (DLP) needs.
Without the comma, that headline is hard to parse.

1. You are comparing 2 very different things. GPT6 is a generative LLM. Tesla's FSD is machine learning.

2. I have no expectations for 'AI' because the term is a nonsense label. I have followed and been excited by machine learning for a good number of years, and my expectations of progress were pretty much on par. The progress with LLMs has taken me a little by surprise, but I am also cognisant that their progress is being massively over-hyped presently, not least by ppl who call them 'AI' and then, even more foolishly, go on to talk about 'AGI' (a nonsense upon a nonsense).
do you think opportunity just magically springs up in places or do you think people make it?
Wendy Carlos' album "Beauty in the Beast" is an exploration of these types of alternative tuning schemes.

It's not complying with Brazilian law or is it not complying with the orders of a judge overstepping his powers granted by the Brazilian constitution?
It seems not thought through at all, just an attempt to get on the LLM bandwagon, like Facebook's giving up on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas VR (would be so much fun and the gfx would probably work great) for a "pivot to AI" which just seems to be mindless flocking with an inevitable pivot to something else in another year and a half when they realize they spend $20B building a model and got $20M worth of revenue.
I did try to like e-ink tablets, but I'm afraid they just can't match an iPad or a decent Android tablet.
This was decided by a Brazilian Supreme Federal Court justice, not Lula da Silva. In fact, the justice was appointed in 2017. Also, the court upheld his decision 2 days ago. Your comment is disingenuous and making this a liberal vs conservative issue when it's actually about X not respecting Brazilian law.
Rocket Daddy thinks so too: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1830147680468607423

"POV: VPN companies after Brazil banned Twitter"

Banned what now, Elon?
Yeah, the subscription and the fact that it can’t handle simple tasks pushed me away from buying the reMarkable 2. I opted for a more convenient tablet instead. Without those features, it’s just a fancy toy that can easily be replaced by a sheet of paper. Plus, it’s heavier and needs more care. Why spend almost a grand on a device when paper does the same job for free?
Everyone loves the cloud, until they get the bill
"Boox" sort-of does this. slaps android and leaves everything to apps.

For completely OSS, pine64 pinenote.
If platforms care about free expression they would not have a formal presence in authoritarian countries. The best way to protect your users is to operate exclusively within US jurisdiction and let subjugated peoples have accounts. Jurisdictional arbitrage works. So does tor.
Not managing your own physical infrastructure is not a dysfunction; unless you have a very specific hardware requirement, or are very large, on-prem is just never going to be cost effective.

Where it is cost-effective, it can still be incredibly strategically limiting.
There's still the middle ground, either virtual or real machines hosted somewhere else. Pay fixed monthly amount, get a machine somewhere, don't have to deal with heating, cooling, power, internet, anything, but still noone will charge you anything "per database lookup", per IO cycles, etc.
I love my remarkable 2. Bought it before "Connect" was a thing, so I don't have a subscription. But I cannot recommend it to anyone. There are better alternatives out there and MyDeepGuide (youtube) has reviewed them all better than I ever could.

The software is moving too slowly and often in a wrong direction. Especially since they released the keyboard folio most updates were around typing (which is supar on any eink device)... and they generally made my experience as a pen user worse.

I don't care if the new hardware is awesome, whenever mine breaks I will switch to a competitor.

EDIT: the reviewer I mention is excited about the device https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkEg8WLeW4Q
perhaps you can try a BOOX Tab X 13.3" e-paper tablet.
For most people I agree.

When AWS was first getting big though they solved genuine, really hard problems for a lot of organisations that were large or growing quickly. NVME drives didn't exist, SSDs were expensive and a lot of servers still had spinning SAS drives – A little box with some ram and some NVME drives didn't scale as ridiculously far as they do now.

I do think as computers keep getting faster and smaller the number of use cases that need a 'cloud' shrink very quickly though.
> with some linux distro with touch support, unlocked bootloader and ssh, powered by a microcontroller with mainline linux support, no fancy apps, no cloud service and no subscription

I am also not a fan of the subscription model & pricing scheme but I guess that is how they want to pay back their investors. However, besides this they are (relatively speaking) also a pretty open company with a sizable community on github maitaning a lot of custom tools / applications. They do not provide official support for these modifications, but these tablets are definitely not locked-in like an ipad or impossible to tinker with because of obscure undocumented chinese hardware

How do you get to authoritarian, when it’s the Brazilian authorities demanding that people be silenced? Perhaps you’re referring to some unrelated situation where X has been censoring people?
I've been happy with my 13.3" Dasung Paperlike HD-FT. I can imagine eventually getting a larger color e-ink monitor for office work, and a smaller one for travel.
Kindle Scribe is fine for b/w research papers, while having two paperback book pages side by side in landscape mode (switch to unjustified text with smallest margins, change to size 3 Bookerly text, add a click of line spacing, switch on page numbers instead of location), makes a lovely improvement in book reading.
