> A significant number of the British don’t even want to live here, post Brexit

Strangely few of them leave. There is a lot of "grass is greener" in British pessimism about their country.

> neither do most of the international students I’ve met

Most do not, but most never did. Most people prefer to live in their home country (especially if they are the sort that can afford overseas fees). That said they may want a degree that is recognised internationally (e.g. they get a cheaper degree that will be recognised in the US where salaries are much higher).

There are also a significant proportion who do want to stay. As someone with dual nationality the UK is my preferred place to live.
> for server type use cases x86 is most of the time probably still a lot less painful than ARM.

This isn't true if Debian is supported.

As for the architecture per se, we should consider what Apple has accomplished with its switch to ARM.

"In 2022, almost 73,000 former students were issued a Graduate Visa, which allows them to live and work in the UK for two years after graduation or three years for PhD graduates. Introduced in July 2021, the new route saw high take-up and led to a large increase in the number of students extending their stay in the UK.

The number of students extending their stay in the UK through the Graduate route reached a record level in 2022 and continued to increase in 2023. In the year ending 30 September 2023, around 105,000 Graduate visas were granted to main applicants"

>>I had to apply for a graduate degree

Thanks for your anecdote. The International Students come in via foundation years not available to local students. More money for the uni, and the international students get in with lower grades.

I don't agree with the deprecation of RHV since it's very closely modelled on VMware vCenter in terms of the concepts and user interface. So it's ideal for ex-VMware admins. But here we are. Containers & Kubernetes are more buzzword-compliant than virtual machines.
Most universities nowadays have turned into degree mills anyway.

I always stand very far from conspiracy theories and just think that, like living organisms, organisations tend to turn into sentient organisms that just strive to stay alive driven by survival instinct.

That’s the only way I can explain how a handful of people I know get paid to publish papers of no value, who are not going to be read by anybody outside of their tight circle, and they don’t even care about (I hear a lot of “that’s the bullsh#t we gotta do to get paid”s). Most unis where I live behave just like parasite organisms living on top of a host that they try to get the most out of, economically speaking.

The fact that the threshold of decency drops below any reasonable level is just a byproduct of the hosts requiring unis to adapt to their requests (political hires, needlessly overinclusive politics, bar-lowering acceptance criteria), and at this point I don’t expects universities to stand on any ground whatsoever in the name of protecting culture and education.
Bugs and infrastructure are two different things. Yes when a game first launches it will potentially be quite buggy, but every expansion until recently has been impressively slick.
The same kind of people that say "I'm not good at math" will fight to the death to say this the wrong way and not have to think about it, so it's a losing fight, unfortunately.

Now, any time I see anything more than 100% for an increase, I assume the person doesn't know how to say it properly, and the vast majority of the time I'm correct. I certainly never make any decisions (including opinions) based on that information without doing the math myself.
The prejudice is indeed against poor English speakers.

Rich kids who can't speak English seem to have no trouble buying their degree.

If a company has a significant amount of infra set up with VMware the costs of migration to another solution are substantial. They have to retrain staff, who may not be keen on relearning how to do what they already know how to do with VMware. They have to replace other solutions that work with VMware but maybe not a new alternative. And there’s usually features that VMware has that others do not, or they work differently enough that it introduces more friction.

The core virtualization stuff is commodity, but there’s much more to it.
Mathematically if they can extract say 1.5 times the money they used to buy something in 3 years. It is a good deal for them. And even better if they can extract more money beyond those 3 years and then sell what is still left to reclaiming bit more money. Making 15% a year on investment and it fully paying back is not bad move.
My kids would go crazy if I got a job for these guys :-D

In the long term, sure. They might just be strip mining it.
In terms of competition it's really the same. Whether you fight with a team of 1 for 5 businesses or a team of 10 for 1 business that is 50x bigger, on average as long as you have equal competition in each segment you walk away with the same. But you get very different customers, for better or worse.

A segment of a customer base is hardly a buffer, if you underserve them they will leave, and you will have wasted effort making an inclusive sales and support process to them.
> Adchemy named each of AdGrok’s co-founders personally in the suit, meaning that if they lost, the founders would be personally liable. The amounts involved in the suit effectively meant that all three co-founders would have been financially ruined.

I've been there too. Named personally. I think most people don't realize how stressful and damaging this is. In most cases it's because there's some kind of well-intentioned but vaguely formulated law or act that, if real events are twisted by just the right amounts, would apply and imply personal liability.

From that point on the game that the litigators play is to try and shoehorn each and every of your past statements or actions to fit the law in question and your job is to find as much evidence to the contrary, which might go many years back. In records that you almost certainly no longer have. While running a company.

This practice of putting founders personally in a lawsuit is an absolute disgrace and it needs to stop. The damage done by vague laws and litigators who ruthlessly exploit them are a very large multiple higher than any of the benefits that could possibly be derived from them. The only winners in this game are the law firms.
Gelsinger always said this was a 5-year plan, yet the board jettisons him at 4 just as IFS customers are starting to ramp up, the 18A node is close to readiness - the company's saving grace at this point - with Panther Lake on the horizon and Altera preparing for IPO in 2026 which should be a relatively good cash injection with PE investors already negotiating stakes. Maybe I just don't have the whole picture, but it seems poorly timed.

I hate the idea that the board might do this just as Intel's prospects start looking up after years of cost-cutting measures to bring the company back to profitability and take credit for a "miraculous turnaround" that was actually instigated 4 years prior by the same person they sacked. It's like an incoming political party coming in and within a couple of months of office taking credit for a good economy that they had no hand in creating.
They should price it 2-5 million. It's a statement of "Look I can afford the most expensive car".

This doesn't sound exactly like a small customer, with 20000 virtual servers on 3000 physical ones isn't exactly a tiny deployment.
In this case I’m not even making a judgement about the merits of WP Engine vs Automattic. IMO it is never OK to use your position as the sole steward of an add-on/extension marketplace to unilaterally take over a piece of software owned by someone else. It’s exactly the same as if Google “forked” uBlock Origin and took over the listing for it in their extension store at the same time. It’s completely against the spirit of open source, and any company doing it should not ever again be able to claim that they’re one of “THE open source companies in tech.”
the goal is legal residency, not illegal overstaying. the universities offer the path of: pay money, get a visa. by not teaching anything, the "students" are free to go work and earn back the outrageous tuition fees, or if they're rich enough, just go enjoy life around europe.

free (long term) movement/immigration for the people to anywhere desirable is dead in the modern world, you generally need to pay (golden visas, "education") or be paid (work visas).
Show HN: No-BS Database of 300+ real-world LLM/GenAI production implementations
I've spent weeks curating technical implementation details of how companies are actually deploying LLMs and Generative AI in production. The database now contains over 300 case studies with detailed technical summaries (230,000+ words) focusing exclusively on architectural decisions, deployment patterns, and real engineering challenges.

Key features:
* Each case study is technically focused - no marketing fluff
* 150+ entries from technical conference talks and panels (saving you 100+ hours of video watching)
* Sophisticated filtering by technical stack, RAG implementations, monitoring solutions etc.
* Summaries generated consistently using Claude for quick insight extraction
* All sources remain public and linked for deeper exploration

Some unique insights we've found:
* Common patterns in LangChain production deployments
* Real-world RAG implementation approaches
* Emerging best practices in LLM monitoring
* Novel solutions to prompt engineering workflows
* Production-tested security measures

It's a lot to read so we wrote a blog post summarising the main takeaways here https://www.zenml.io/blog/llmops-lessons-learned-navigating-...

The database is free and designed to help engineering teams learn from others' practical experiences deploying LLMs. I'm particularly interested in hearing about:
1. What specific implementation patterns you'd like to see analyzed (contribute more case studies via the link on the database's main page)
2. Additional case studies you think should be included
3. How you're handling non-deterministic outputs in production

Looking forward to your feedback and contributions!

Well, the way I look it is that if someone says 1000% increase, it may be whatever value between x8 and x12, rounded to the round number, to look more dramatic.

Would you really get more value from the headline if it said "923% increase" instead of 1000%?

The Tories are definitely also responsible, and I hope this is the end of the Tory party. They are even worse than Labour in that they have been basically defrauded the voters by claiming to be conservative but being anything but. Labour at least made it clear to their voters they plan to run the country off a cliff at max speed, which is why they won by default and have no mandate.

It’s definitely going to be on the small side.
It's relatively easy to overstay, fairly difficult to live in the UK without a visa, since both landlords of rental properties and employers are supposed to check for them, and most of them do, so you wind up stuck in a pretty unstable position. For most graduates I'd imagine that's not particularly desirable. A quick search brought up an article which suggests that maybe ~7,000 people a year are overstaying their student visas (a high estimate, as that includes people who have left but the government didn't get a record of it), out of ~half a million granted a year, which is not exactly a huge influx compared the maybe ~50k a year who overstay a tourist visa instead, the ~15k a year who cross the channel on small boats, or the ~1 million a year moving into the UK legally.

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I was honestly a little shocked to hear about RH moving away from RHV, but glad to hear there is some interoperability between some of these tools.
I took a look at the code, and I found references to both metric (meters, kgs) and imperial units (lbs) in there.
I think that is interesting, but the differences are that in the UK the courses are taught in English which is widely spoken, the universities make a profit on foreign students (so we are not subsidising them), and there is a high level of cheating.

The last is because the problem is not that they do not have "perfect" English, but that they have English that is just not good enough to let them study in English.

There are other issues. For example a lecturer teaching a course on modern slavery at University College London was removed from the course that she designed, because she had upset Chinese students by giving Chinese examples for slavery. Cultural exchange is good, but this is not a healthy version of it.

Chinese students also do not usually do not mix with others so that does not encourage cultural exchange.

Not having a clear advantage might be a good reason to not choose it for new products, but there are thousands of companies that chose VMware 20 years ago when it did have a clear advantage. You have to have a pretty good reason to invest thousands of people hours in a project to migrate to another plaform, and simply "it's not the latest product out there" is not often a compelling reason to throw out something that still works pretty well.

Price increases as in the linked article can be a compelling reason, of course.

It's easy to overstay in the sense that authorities won't directly come after you.

But with very strict legal checks when starting employment and renting property this pushes you outside of reputable employers and landlords... So not so easy if you don't intend to scrape a living by sub-letting an Uber Eats/Deliveroo delivery driver account...
I think it depends on the person. Elon Musk changes his mind a lot, but PG generally seems pretty consistent.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to change your mind, either.

My guess is that if you carefully read PG's criticisms of woke culture, they are narrow enough that they wouldn't apply to what YC does against misbehaving VCs. For example, if you read between the lines, this essay does a good job of explaining some problems with woke culture: https://paulgraham.com/conformism.html But it doesn't really apply to misbehaving VCs as much.

What's the specific critique of cancel culture PG made, that he's being hypocritical with? Can you give a verbatim quote that displays the supposed hypocrisy, to ensure that you're not misrepresenting his position?
Penis in vagina. It's a specification. It's like "birthing parent", to be clear what hardware is being used.

What a tired argument. Is this what the field is reduced to? Computers are supposed to be fast, deterministic, and correct. It is profoundly disappointing that we’re regressing to a system that is as mediocre as the average bullshitter and laud it as an achievement.

The thing with humans is that you can build trust. I know exactly who to ask if I have a question about music, or medicine, or a myriad of other topics. I know those people will know the answers and be able to assess their level of confidence in them. If they don’t know, they can figure it out. If they are mistaken, they’ll come back and correct themselves without me having to do anything.

Comparing LLMs to random humans is the wrong methodology. Of course, Upton Sinclair had a point so I don’t expect to convince someone who is monetarily invested in having this broken assumption succeed.
The latter. They have a threshold where they basically say IDNGAF. Above that, they’ll come to some terms.
They can't do that. Luxury products are largely defined by:

1. How "exclusive" they are.

2. The age and heritage of the brand

3. How difficult they are to manufacture. (The difficulty could be artificial.)

Jaguar fails on basically all counts. (1) Price isn't necessarily a stand-in for #1 -- on the very high-end, you have to make it actually difficult to acquire the product in question, and they're not going to do that. (2) Jaguar has a reputation that's somewhere from "weird" to "terrible," not the storied reputation of an old French brand like Bugatti. (3) The Chinese can manufacture that car in a heartbeat. Give CATL and BYD free reign, and they'll probably do a much better job of it.
What does this even mean? Since when does "take responsibility" mean "I won't make mistakes" or "I wont' find myself in an context which causes me an outcome that I didn't want"? Or "I don't deserve good treatment if I find myself in a situation?"

You are showing yourself to not be a serious thinking here. Your view point is just "be better, people", which lacks any kind of intellectual or philosophical depth.
I would really like to seee a detailed explanation for why UK universities are so "cash strapped". After all they charge 10k a year to domestic students and fairly high rents, too, for university-owned accommodation...
He is right that India is super interesting, cuz if you look at their neighborhood every single country is either on IMF life support or a failed state.

And if you look at their Central and State govt spending, there is hardly any capex available for anything. Yet they somehow keep growing, and haven't collapsed. Its such a large system, even if parts of it implode there are other parts that seem to compensate. This is possibly why they don't look like their neighborhood or Africa.

If India implodes the world will be a much more chaotic place.
