Ah so what you're saying is that we ought to rename our logins table to "duckwords" because nobody will ever guess that? Also we should probably store passwords in plaintext but name the column "entercod3" because n

Wow that was quite the technical deep dive! I bet there's not one person in the world who understands all the interactions in this system.

Clearly false. Nukes are just not that useful in about anything except the end of the world. If you're fighting a Ukraine-style war, nukes are worthless.

Oops time for everyone to pull their open source containers off docker hub and use a different registry.

I like that landlines call a house, not a person. If I call my parents' landline, I never know which of them I'm going to talk to, and sometimes I just want to talk to "my parents" and not specifically pick which one. I

Yes, presumably the approach would be to publish both a current dump of all of the databases every week or month, as well as a daily diff. Even better if it were just given away for free. The challenge would be around monetization and licen

No even worse, it sends the actual file content to the server. Linked in the post: https://github.com/cachix/devenv/blob/6c987a8795eedea872afe4...

So far I have not seen any of the operators proposing what seems to me to be the obvious solution: sell this data set in a machine readable format for cheap to the biggest scrapers.

Well it had a good run I guess. Frontend churn is so fast.

For a little while before that, CPU performance was stagnant with Intel on top until AMD released Ryzen and Zen, and Intel got stuck on 14nm for half a decade. Suddenly AMD is posting substantial performance improvements every cycle and Int

How much did you pay for the Surface? I just got a Lenovo P14s w/ 64GB and Ryzen 8840HS for around $1100. I haven't used the Surface Pro Snapdragon yet but this laptop screams. I think it mostly comes down to disk performance for

Containers will never replace VMs either. People will be running WASM inside of containers inside of VMs.

Unless you run the build in WASM itself. Are there any self-hosting WASM build chains?

>You spent more time configuring Vim and Emacs than they saved you. Yeah, ten years ago. Now I just use the damn thing and occasionally update my plugins. At this point, I can hardly use nano, the vim bindings are so deep in my brain.

This is a very insightful comment. As someone who was 3rd-degree connected to that world during my time in the bay, this matches the general vibe of conversations and people I ran into at house parties and hangouts very very well. It's

The math they gave was 2,788,000 H800 GPU hours[1], with a rental price of $2/GPU-hour[1], which works out to $5.6M. If they did that on a cluster of 2048 H800s, then they could re-train the model every ~1400 hours (~2 months). If they

I couldn't find TINFA on Yahoo Finance but I bought INFA assuming that was close enough. Thanks for the financial advice. :P /s TINFA -> this is not financial advice

That assumes demand remains constant. Maybe lowering the overall cost to train a model will mean that more people want to train models, thus raising the demand.

Hmm really? My Camry made it nearly 10 years, and my Civic still had a good battery 6 years in when I sold it. Regardless, the battery and DCM were both tested by Subaru. The battery tested bad, and the DCM tested for a high parasitic draw.

Same logic could apply to Enron or Bernie Madoff. Fraud is fraud, even if it's perpetrated against the rich. Besides, many of the biggest investors are actually defined-benefit pension funds for teachers, firefighters, etc.

Yep, I think it's an open secret that many startups are known to be doomed from the beginning. That's one reason that founders tell such outrageous stories. Maybe it arises from the fact that tech changed and grew so fast that the

It depends on the car, but yes, you can pull a fuse. The component is called the DCM. If you do that though, you'll lose the front speakers and the microphone, which are routed through the DCM to support STARLINK-based cellular calls (

Wrong Starlink. Subaru's is cellular based, not space.

I was lucky to have the DCM in my 2019 Outback (which is responsible for cellular communication and thus this whole STARLINK thing) replaced with a bypass box under the warranty program related to the end of 3G service. My car was trying to
