You're going to run into two issues:

1. Major services use CNAMEs or otherwise 'special' DNS records for the APEX record. But sometimes they offer the ability to just add IPs to an A record, like Cloudflare does.

2. You may need to add a domain verification and/or SSL verification TXT records which means more interactions with your clients. Azure Front door even requires renewal of the APEX TXT record for SSL cert renewal (but not subdomains). Looks like ACM does the same (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/renew-publi...), but I haven't used it.

At least for Azure and AWS, I think you're going to run into some frustrations over time if you don't control the DNS zone. Based on the docs, Cloudflare Universal SSL may be different, if you can pair it with one of their gateway products.

Or you can wait for RFC 9460.

There is a similar justified mechanical model with vaccinations. A toy version is that vaccinated people are X% less likely to get infected and Y% less effective at spreading the disease if they get infected. If compliance with vaccination policies and other mitigation measures is at least Z%, then the outbreak will be contained before most people get infected.

With novel diseases, it's usually impossible to have accurate enough estimates of the numerical parameters in advance to determine if lockdowns and vaccine mandates are going to work. And the compliance rate is fundamentally political. A few key individuals, such as politicians and judges, can have an outsized effect on it. Containment that would have worked otherwise may fail due to the actions of those individuals.
> We burned months trying (and ultimately failing) to get Nvidia’s host drivers working to map virtualized GPUs into Intel Cloud Hypervisor... We think there’s probably a market for users doing lightweight ML work getting tiny GPUs. This is what Nvidia MIG does, slicing a big GPU into arbitrarily small virtual GPUs. But for fully-virtualized workloads, it’s not baked; we can’t use it. Near as we can tell, MIG gives you a UUID to talk to the host driver, not a PCI device.

Apparently this is technically possible, if you can find the right person at Nvidia to talk about vGPU licensing and magic incantations. Hopefully someone reading this HN front page story can make the introduction.

Remember when Time Magazine did a Person of the Year that was just a mirror? That's where we are, even harder as (corporate) social media has ramped up. Simplistic conspiratorial "theories" play to people's egos. It's basically the populist outrage playbook the Republicans have been running for the past three decades (while keeping their monster contained in a cage and only feeding off the energy), gradually building more and more steam as they repeat the same tripe (eg myopic nonsense about the "deficit"), and now it has escaped.

One of the first steps to righting this ship is to get our terminology straight and stop calling them conservatives. Conservative is not a synonym for Republican. Conservatives respect institutions, America's contribution to the world, fiscal responsibility, want to slow gradual change, etc. In the last election, the conservative option was squarely the Democrats. The modern grassroots Republican parties are populist reactionaries, and the people they've elected are (neo)fascists. The probable landscape is that they are just working for China to destroy this country and sell off the pieces.
This. It does not matter what the goverment would do, the exact same people would fault them. If the goal is to destroy someone and you do not care about the truth, it does not matter what they do.
I respect them for being public about this.

With that said, this seems quite obvious - the type of customer that chooses Fly, seems like the last person to be spinning up dedicated GPU servers for extended periods of time. Seems much more likely they'll use something serverless which requires a ton of DX work to get right (personally I think Modal is killing it here). To compete, they would have needed to bet the company on it. It's way too competitive otherwise.
At this point i'm not sure whether you're trolling or simply refusing to engage in good faith, so I'm going to bow out :)
I really liked playing around with fly gpus, but it's just too expensive for hobby-use. Same goes for the rest of fly.io honestly. The DX is great and I wish I could move all of my homelab stuff and public websites to it, but it'd be way too expensive :(
Your post is more a criticism of including military spending in GDP, not anything particular to Russia's GDP-PPP calculation.
Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. Monitor some CTs and let the inverter only discharge enough power to satisfy the current demand without backfeeding the utility.
Of course I was mostly having a laugh, but yeah, Texas is in something of a unique cult of bad cultural and urban development ideals.

This whole topic and your comment made me think of the phenomenon of rural identity. Basically, a lot of Americans identify as rural even though they are not. It sounds innocent enough but it leads to a lot of anti patterns related to individualistic city planning, where people think that things like public transit aren’t compatible with their rural and individualistic values.
Their privacy, which has value to them and should be respected. You can argue it on a case by case basis but the default is (and should be) to not disclose. As for comparisons to news articles, well maybe this is a place where the government is doing better than some news agencies (reasoning as to why is left to the reader).

Off topic, but the font in the article is hard on the eyes.
We (I) spent a lot of time talking to several different teams at Nvidia about this. We were able to get VFIO vGPUs to the point where guest libraries would recognize them, but the process fell apart in the guest/host licensing dance, and we weren't really OK with the idea that there'd be a phone-home licensing dance every time a Fly Machine started. Unlike GPU enablement at GCP or AWS, the core DX of a Fly Machine is that it stop/start very quickly; think of it as a midpoint in the design space between Lambda and Fargate. This is what we're talking about when we say it's hard to fit GPUs into our DX.
FWIW LunaSea's response is almost identical to what I'd drafted, but then deleted.

caycep's given a much more comprehensive response around the logistics & finances, as well as why someone's recent and objectively alarming public statements can (obviously) be used to assess their credibility and impartiality.

If this is the one & only person you can cite as a follow-up of your "So I don't know who to believe?", then my doubts remain.
A much simpler exploration of this topic I always liked is the "Linear Diffusion" [0] example which implements a basic Diffusion model using only linear components. Given it's simplicity it gets surprisingly good results at generating digits.

Look, I like space stuff, I was the kid with astronauts and space-station posters, but projecting a million-person colony is... distressingly overoptimistic / sales-oriented.

Ex: "Starship™ was built for this singular purpose, the hopes and dreams of the only known consciousness riding a crackling pillar of fire to open the heavens for our infinite descendants, expanding throughout the universe", "All That Has Come Before is as Nothing Next to Starship™", "torrents of gold", "hundreds of thousands" of rockets...

It just feels like whole lot of investor-focused cheerful assumptions that the 99% of the problem that isn't a rocket will Just Work Somehow.
If you assume it's the size of a reasonable hallway, I think there's enough room for an average person to lie down on either of the halves. At least if the back isn't too thick.
I'm not yet sure whether they are even doing data science.

Anecdote time (pinch of salt required):

A relative of mine studying accounting went to the Doge site to see the "audit" and "analytics" records that some acquaintance arguing with her said "see the doge site!" for the proof.

What she found when visiting the site was no "audit" at all, but instead a word count of how often objectional terms appear in legislation or government sites. (DEI? Trans? LGBTQ?).

Being in the analytics/data engineering space myself, I was pretty amused to hear that was the quality of "analytics" being done.

Wasn't "word count" the "hello world" example for Hadoop big data back in 2013?

>As such, empirical laws that were trustworthy in the past, may become significantly less accurate, and can in fact become dangerous to rely upon too blindly.

Read a really good book on this a few years ago by John Kay and Mervyn King, Radical Uncertainty (https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324004776), where they talk about the issue of applying the logic of "known uncertain" systems (like games of poker, or volcanic eruptions) to completely dynamic "radically uncertain" systems where any attempt to quantify outcomes is effectively completely made up. Election forecasts being one example, where there's no guarantee that you know the rules of the game, if they stay constant between elections and so on.

I think this is very timely because these days you see this kind of cargo cult empiricism where people will say "I am 30% confident that..." as if just talking in a quantitative language means you've somehow understood something about the future or have reason to be more confident.
I'm actually looking forward to doing this with a bed. My prior bed was something I assembled (which I could do gain). Wondering what will work if I want to get a better, e.g. non-IKEA, platform bed. (The mattress will be memory foam so presumably not a problem.)
What kind of issues did you have with streaming? I also set up ollama on fly.io, and had no issues getting streaming to work.

For the LLM itself, I just used a custom startup script that downloaded the model once ollama was up. It's the same thing I'd do on a local cluster though. I'm not sure how fly could make it better unless they offered direct integration with ollama or some other inference server?
Which is why I never understand all the backlash on Twitter's feed.

Basically you have to curate your own feed. The platform should provide me with tools and features to do that effectively. Instead they keep trying to improve the algorithm.

As I asked the other sceptical commenter: how exactly would you explain XY karyotype, testosterone levels in the male range, and male-typical physique - other than by the athletes being male?

https://www.alamy.com/silver-medalist-francine-niyonsaba-of-...

Also, we know that these three were deemed ineligible for future events under the revised World Athletics DSD policy which was developed with the intent of excluding male physical advantage from women's competitions.

Semenya's DSD (5-alpha reductase deficiency) is public knowledge due to the Court of Arbitration for Sport publishing a ruling revealing this. This is a DSD that only affects male sexual development, not female.

The bookkeeping overheads might be trivial though. If it boils down to a handful of instructions per call, that's probably not so bad, depending on context. If large buffers are being copied, that's a problem, but hopefully that can generally be avoided.
I guess so but only if the weakness is in their ability to murder you.

This take should lead to less government POWER and involvement in individual lives though and doesn't match with policy that empowers an astronomically sized "defense" budget, lawmakers deciding how every woman everywhere should deal with pregnancy and health issues that affect pregnancy, or giving unbridled, unreviewed access to every citizens personal and financial data to unelected, unaccountable oligarchs.

I actually agree with your take - I have a lot of conservative views like you described about how government is inherently hard and flawed and risky so we should use it sparingly.

We've seen so much flying in the face of this recently that I make a point of not calling republicans conservative anymore, not to be pithy but just to try to bring some grounding to these culture war arguments.
It's definitely both. A bunch of 20 year olds were let loose to be "super efficient." So, to be efficient they use LLMs to implement what should be a major government oversight webpage. Even after the fix the list is a few half-baked partial document excerpts with a few sentences saying, "look how great we are!" It's embarrassing.
Thanks for the info, that clears things up!
Gpus don't fit the usual "start with free tier then upgrade when monetizing" approach most devs have with these kinds of platforms.

For simple inference, its too expensive for a project that makes no money. Which is most projects.
Why, though? If the Windows subsystem for Linux can provide many people an adequate environment for dev work, why can't the equivalent Linux subsystem for Windows provide an adequate gaming platform?

One of the earliest tricks I learned with couches is that if it’s shorter than the ceiling then the arms and back form this U.

Sofas used to be great because they were also shorter than the height of a door frame. Now everything is oversized and you need a 10-15% bigger apartment just to have one of each thing your grandparents had.

With the right design sometimes this still plays out on the diagonal.
Agree completely, I quite like the look of the font.

I sometimes feel who are deep in a subject sometimes are too entrenched in their world with rules and guidelines, that to me don't seem all that important to judge quality in the real world; or at least how I perceive things.

Another example also comes from the world of typography: text figures (non-lining numerals). To me they're ugly and difficult to read. Typographers like them because they fit better into the appearance of text, and that's true, but of low importance to me. Numbers are not words, and I feel they don't have to look the same. I like them to look different. I want them to be easy to read, which text figures aren't. (I actually went to the effort of creating custom CSS using Firefox's Stylus add-on to force lining numerals on all websites I visit.)
No code, no experience, no funding – 200 users later, here's what I learned
Hey HN,

For years, I wanted to build something, but everyone around me said: “Startups are too risky. You don’t know how to code. This will not work”

I listened for a while. But the idea of creating something wouldn’t go away. So I started experimenting with no-code tools, AI-assisted coding, and just enough dev knowledge to be dangerous.

Now, after months of learning and building, I’ve launched Graphify—a tool that visualizes Notion notes as interactive graphs. And somehow, despite all the doubts and warnings, it already has 200 active users.

What I learned along the way:
You don’t need to code everything—you just need to know how to ship.
The hardest part isn’t building, it’s believing—most people give up before they even start.
Your first users won’t come from marketing, but from real conversations.
Would love to hear from others who started from zero—how did you push through the early doubts? Also, if you’re curious about Graphify, you can try it out here: getgraphify.com

Looking forward to your thoughts!

It's especially frustrating because it's always a self-righteous and sanctimonious rationalization to why they never vote.

It's maddening, they complain about Trump, and when I mention that they didn't vote they say "YOU THINK KAMALA WOULD BE BETTER??? YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BY VOTING LOL!!". And of course, they never define what "the problem" is, so there's actually no way to solve it, so they never have to actually vote.
I'm a little sore the FOIA thing didn't make it up here, but Kurt's post did. ;)

Has service reliability improved at all? I tried Fly at two different points in time and I’ve never had a worse experience with a service.
A sick burn.
Maybe we should look a little bit closer at who was hellbent against Wikileaks, and whether or not they're the same people "live tweeting leaks".

I have a feeling it's not the ethics of the actions that have changed, but the goals for doing so. In both cases it was about controlling a narrative.
FWIW, I'd consider this good publicity. I have no use for GPUs in the cloud (at least not at the prices that they're available at (in general, not just on fly)). So if fly is moving there effort towards things I actually need (like managed databases) then that's going to increase my confidence in them as a platform quite a bit.
> But if you were in a company whose management said, explicitly, that they hate you, then getting out early would surely be better than waiting.

The government is not a company and its current “custodians” are not its owners.
Unless we get an unredacted version leaked in the future it's impossible to say what the redacted paragraphs say, but this document has a ton of the former style of redaction which makes me trust that the larger redactions (ie page 42) were in fact necessary to protect PII as labeled.
Large language models (LLMs) do not have a mechanism to prevent them from giving incorrect answers. While I believe they are still useful, they will never be 100% accurate. We need to recognize that users will frequently receive wrong answers. To improve reliability, there should be a system in place that involves humans in the process of verifying the accuracy of the responses.
