GPUs work on massive amounts of data in parallel, but they execute basically the same operations every step, maybe skipping or slightly varying some steps depending on the data seen by a particular processing unit. But processing units cannot execute independent streams of instructions.

GPUs of course have several parts that can work in parallel, but they are few, and every part consists of large amounts that execute the same instruction stream simultaneously over a large chunk of data.
Laptop SSDs are _shockingly_ fast, and getting equivalent speed from something in a datacenter (where you'll want at least two disks) is pretty expensive. It's so annoying.

Footsoldiers of the Sacklers seem to crawl out of the woodwork repeatedly. The Sacklers knew of the degree of addiction opiods caused, practically bribed doctors to prescribe them when entirely unnecessary, all while strategically whitewashing their sins through philanthropy.
They have been. The Sacklers are social pariahs and outcasts. Their liabilities far exceed their net worth. They had to move away from New York to Florida in order to afford something resembling their old lifestyle. Their family name has been taken down from all the museums they funded. Being upper class people, they still have a lot of wealth earning potential going forward, and you can feel assured that whatever they earn, most of it will go to paying the people who've brought cases against them.

Porsche cares a lot about efficiency, because with higher efficiency they can make more power. They are a sports car company, and ultimately are building high performance vehicles. That is in contrast to other less performance focused car companies, which would use efficiency gains to allow them to use a smaller engine- thereby making it both more fuel efficient and cheaper/lighter, but not faster.

The Porsche 918 Spyder for example is a plug in hybrid supercar, which uses the hybrid system together with a massive gasoline engine- to make it really really fast.

I wasn't referring to syncs at all, but actual point in time backups, so I agree.

There are syncs that can also be configured to not to delete. It's how syncs can do version control.

If you use an off the shell backup or NAS like a Synology or QNAP it will take care of all of that for you. You can plug in external drives to it for copies, an then also have the NAS ship off backup copies to multiple places.

Since the cloud is someone else's computer, it's good to have your own copy of it too on your own hardware.

Hope that helps.

Data is valuable, worth learning to protect :).
> or could share them with each other

Honestly, I'd say literature and fictional works generally come the closest to that. Sitting down with a novel written by someone from a vastly different background from yours is kind of the closest you can get to seeing the world through someone else's eyes.

Obviously not spy thrillers and the like, but novels that are more about real life.

Another really interesting resource is some of the podcasts that do ~hour-long interviews with famous people and really dig into their childhood, motivations, etc. Dax Shephard is particularly good at this. Discovering how vastly different people's backgrounds are, the big choices they made in life, and the unexpected factors that contributed to those choices.

I imagine the phone's previous account having removed the device/cancelled service without filing any sort of loss/theft claim would help. And then a red flag would be the unlock call coming before the previous account adds a replacement phone/cancels service.

Executing innocent people doesn't prevent crime. If anything, it tells people that execution has little relationship to what you do, so you might as well do what you want.

How many innocent people would you execute to turn California into New England?

Also, why is New England so solidly against capital punishment?:

- Connecticut ended the death penalty in 2012, after only having used it once (in 2005) since 1976.

- Capital punishment has been abolished in the U.S. state of Maine since 1887.

- Massachusetts abolished the death penalty in 1984, and hadn't used it since 1947.

- New Hampshire abolished the death penalty in 2019, and although they still have someone on death row, they haven't executed anyone since 1939.

- Rhode Island abolished capital punishment in 1852, and hadn't used it since 1845.

- Vermont officially stopped executing people in 1972, and hadn't done it since 1954.

People made the same argument in Canada but they changed the rules so you either get an unlocked phone or they have to unlock it upon request. Yet there has not been widespread issues of this happening. They can still ding your credit & there is only a small number of carriers so you can only do that so many times before you are going to have serious issues if you don't care about your credit or collections.

Also you can still get the phone unlocked without the carrier anyways if you really want to so it would not deter anyone who really wants to run off with the phone anyways.
It is not a correction, but additional context. Indeed Porsche cares about efficiency- but there are different ways to then leverage that efficiency- for either a more powerful car, or a more fuel efficient car. Porsche will choose the more powerful car, because they sell sports cars, not economy cars. Also see my other reply in this thread.
Cars are repoed when payments aren't made.

[edit]

also Windows OEMs always got lower than retail price for Windows licenses (assuming your volume sold was high enough)

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundling_of_Microsoft_Windows#... :

====

Microsoft once assessed license fees based on the number of computers an OEM sold, regardless of whether a Windows license was included. Beginning in 1983, Microsoft sold MS-DOS licenses to OEMs on an individually negotiated basis. The contracts required OEMs to purchase a number of MS-DOS licenses equal to or greater than the number of computers sold, with the result of zero marginal cost for OEMs to include MS-DOS. Installing an operating system other than MS-DOS would effectively require double payment of operating system royalties. Also, Microsoft penalized OEMs that installed alternative operating systems by making their license terms less favorable. Microsoft entered into a consent decree in 1994 that barred them from conditioning the availability of Windows licenses or varying their prices based on whether OEMs distributed other operating systems.

...

In 2009, Microsoft stated that it has always charged OEMs about $50 for a Windows license on a $1,000 computer.

I want friends too but man, resorting to a chatbot sounds so depressing. Get some hobbies, find activities on Meetup, join a church. So many healthier alternatives. Just requires you to actually do something real.
I've been asking the same question myself though I'm not trying to get paying customers. I'm offering free stuff but I can't get many takers. One customer per 1000 views is pretty much the best you can expect. You need a million views to snag 1000 customers. I would suggest that you stick to your plan and go through the free routes first. This will help you to gauge the level of interest before you bankrupt yourself paying for marketing (which never lives up to expectations).

I do have an anecdote. I have a repository on the Internet Archive. One of my items had just a few hundred views but, all of a sudden, it accumulated over 3000 views. I posted a comment on the item asking what sparked the sudden interest. Someone replied that it was a user comment on Youtube. Makes me wonder if I'm not making a huge mistake by not registering on Youtube so I can post self-promotional comments everywhere.

Software is somewhat unique because the design, execution, and mass distribution can all be one step. So you really can be a software artisan, though the world needs the mass production kind of software too.
You cannot go to a AT&T store to buy a phone and then use it on tmobile’s network. That’s why there is a 60 day delay. For 60 days you pay AT&T for a service contract.
> I dont see why people would have any GPLv2 rights for this version.

Because the code is licensed under GPL v2. Not or any later versions. In the original distribution there was a filed called LICENSE.txt which is just the literal GPL v2.0 text, which includes the text of the license as well as the explanatory text and instructions on how to apply it. There is a README.txt which includes the line "Licensed under the GNU General Public License 2.0." And then every source code file says:

// This source is available for distribution and/or modification

So you would have the choice of GPLv2 or possibly this: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_Source_License
> I'm totally unbothered by the Royal Ontario Museum

I loved the design when I originally saw the architectural drawing and models. The blend of modern with traditional. The way the crystal reflects part of the museum's mission.

That said, the resulting building is hideous when seen at street level. The finish of the structure makes it look like a tornado dropped an oversized aluminum garden shed on the museum, then they never bothered to clean up the mess.

Architects can design some really beautiful structures, but it can go really wrong for reasons other than over eagerness to make a point.

(Or maybe I was bitter about them dropping the free Tuesdays around the same time. Not only was it an affordable night out, but the museum was much more lively with the visitors and special events.)

Libraries operate under the doctrine of first sale (i.e. they own the copy, therefore they can lend it). This has never extended to lending digital copies, nor did IA claim it did.

IA claimed instead that this fell under the doctrine of fair use because scanning transformed the work, i.e. that the digital copies were new works that didn't serve to replace the originals. This is entirely unlike how libraries operate.
I agree. If you think they're bad I really hope you don't get a kidney stone.
One of the issues with Julia for this kind of thing is that it’s tuned for throughput more than latency, especially the sort of worst-case latency you worry about for realtime systems. You have to be careful to make sure any methods that are called ahead of time so they’re not JIT-compiled in your audio loop. It’s also hard to write zero-allocation code, which is what you need if you don’t want the GC pausing your program at an inopportune time.
The issue is that what often happens next is the thing that got cobbled together as a customer POC ends up in production.

Most hardware goes through extensive validation and revision before tooling to manufacture and ship at scale. The software space hasn’t always (often has not) found the correct balance between low cost early iterations and a properly hardened customer-ready product. The temptation is strong to just call it ready because it’s always possible to patch it later.

While I agree that finding this balance is a challenge, I don’t think that lowers the criticality of productionizing the code or the risk of using these early stage products that haven’t “grown up”.
How to Make a Web App
So basically I’m a student in university and i coded an app in javafx as a personal project to make creating a schedule each semester automated. As in i dont have to go through all the different time slots for each class my program just makes all the possible combinations and i just choose the schedule that works best for me. The problem im having is i also want to put this program onto a website so that my whole university can use it and maybe charge a dollar or 50 cents per use and help pay off tuition haha. But i dont know how to get started or even all the tools i need to consider and just everything like reprogramming and stuff like that. If anyone can help that would be great :)
WP Engine is not WordPress
The answer of "the universe was created by a creator" is no more satisfying. It claims to answer everything, by answering nothing (since "a creator always existed" is axiomatic).
This is pretty weak. For example:

1. Carrier locks prevent dual-SIM use where one SIM belongs to the locked carrier and the other does not. This is of no value for preventing unpaid phones from being taken overseas but has plenty of value for locking paying users in.

2. Carrier locks require a communication channel from the carrier to the lock database to the phone. With iPhones, for example, the whole mechanism is mediated by Apple. The same mechanism could absolutely prevent activation overseas — instead of having a “locked to carrier X” state and an “unlocked” state, have a “locked and cannot be used for non-emergency purposes” state, an “unlocked until time T” state, and a “fully unlocked” state. And this would even be simpler: it doesn’t require any integration with the baseband processor, so it could be implemented straightforwardly on the AP.

(Note that iPhones already have a locked-to-an-iCloud-account state and can be remotely locked out, which implements 95% of this.)

So, in summary, I do not believe that the current carrier lock scheme is honestly or competently designed as a theft-of-unpaid-phones prevention measure.
In the form of advice for people trying to get better at social stuff: fake confidence and relaxation, in the full confidence that it quickly becomes true. I'm probably a mild case, but once I got it, this worked for me.

(That, and it's helpful to have a few canned entry and exit lines. Knowing you can break off a conversation if it gets awkward or stalls makes it less scary to start one. Even just a version of, "well, it was nice to meet you, I'm going to move along now", in whatever phrasing sounds right from you)

Many of these cars don't pass western safety standards and can never be sold in Europe.

There are some that are Tesla competitors, but it is widely believed (there is not enough evidence to show conclusively) that none of the Chinese manufacturers make money on selling EVs.

The situation is similar to that of Rivian or VW. The Rivian is a spectacular car but it is expensive to make that Rivian loses 10s of thousands everytime they sell a car. VW is also losing money on every EV they sell. If you buy one you're getting a good deal, but edging the company closer to bankruptcy at the same time. Buy the car avoid the stock.

BYD refuses to give financials on their pure EV profit numbers. They sell a ton of hybrids and ICE cars and eek out a very small profit. Anyone who pays attention to the space must ask themselves why they don't boast about their pure EV margins? It's likely because they are losing money.

Tesla on the other hand has positive gross margins on their cars and have since the day they started selling the Model S. That is the reason why the stock value is so high, because Tesla is the most efficient EV maker on earth by a significant margin. They can lower prices further than any competition and remain profitable.

> But aren't there artisanal attorney's?

Not in the way there are artisanal bread-makers. See the linked article.

> There are some in specialized areas

Let's presume the following definition:

artisanal: (of a product, especially food or drink) made in a traditional or non-mechanized way.

I am saying -- there is no attorney marketing their unique skill with the Smith Corona Galaxie or with a quill. Instead, you probably want them to write a brief for you and don't particularly care how they physically do it.

I just got an idea for the opposite. Buy a phone with three years worth of service together with the phone. Extra features are extra money. 36 months x 40$ per month plus the cost of phone ($600) = $2040. Add discount for loyalty (-$800). Free phone and more.
Don’t worry about grandstanding, it’s not.

It’s good to have found an angle that you care about and can apply yourself to.

This is a really nice way of explaining it and I didn’t consider it before despite being a very heavy gamer at one point.
Particle is a cloudy, fuzzy thing that can fly and wobble through space. It can be more sharp or more fuzzy and when it overlaps with another fuzzy particle object they might exchange a neat portion of momentum, angular momentum and energy and violently reshape becoming sharper or fuzzier (that's the wave function collapse and expansion) then they go again on their separate merry ways.

Sometimes when particles meet or even spontaneously they can split or merge altering other parts of their nature (unrelated momentum, energy and angular momentum). This happens for example when neutron decays into proton and electron.

Sometimes they get stuck together because of electromagnetic force and they resonate in interesting harmonies and travel together. That's atoms. Interestingly when they are resonating in those harmonies they become quite fussy about amounts of energy they prefer to exchange and they do it only in a very specific quanta.

And there's a class of particles called quarks that travel together all the time as they are always tightly bound with each other and can never get free despite possessing incredible amounts of energy they continuously exchange. That's nucelus.

We really don't like this image because fuzziness is actually two dimensional in every point of our already 4 dimensional space-time and described by complex numbers so we prefer to focus on those brief moments when particles interact since if we have a lot of particles that are bound together to form measurement apparatus they are so sharp that the interaction they participate in squash other particles nearly to a point and we can declare that the measure particle collapsed to have some momentum, or location, or spin described by a single vector instead of a cloud. It neatly turns out that the square of complex number fuzziness describes the probability that a fuzzy particle will interact with a sharp one (one of those bound together in measurement apparatus) with a specific outcome.
I guess by this argument, writes/authors also cannot be 'artisanal'?

This seems like we are instead discussing a narrow definition of 'artisanal'.

Where I was taking more broad definition of someone at the top of their 'craft', an expert with deep knowledge of a specialized area.
Even in the larger commercial computer space, Japan always liked to sorta do their own thing. Aside from a couple other companies, they were always big Itanium backers for example.

I was an analyst during that period and Japan was always something of an outlier. (Europe was to some degree as well. But less so.)
> So you really can be a software artisan, though the world needs the mass production kind of software too.

I think this is true only if "artisan" means whatever you want it to mean. Here, you seem to think it means "made by one person." But, here, my definition, and the definition of the article, is "making software using the old methods."

artisanal: (of a product, especially food or drink) made in a traditional or non-mechanized way.

Porsche cares a lot about efficiency, and their cars are generally designed to be very efficient- but they use the extra efficiency to sell a more powerful car, not a more fuel efficient car.

Beyond some historical agricultural tractors, Porsche has only ever made high performance cars, they don't make general purpose "commuter" or "family" cars. Even their large SUVs like the Cayenne are very high performance vehicles.
It would be nice if security updates were more friendly, and not bundled with feature updates (ever).

Perhaps see the article. This is the definition which is most like the definition it uses.
