In some sense, it is quite remarkable that the institution has survived this long considering they control outcomes of such vast power while being indirectly elected, holding the post for life, and there being such a high standard for the l

Looking at examples of honorific usage: "yes, officer" "yes, doctor" "yes, madam mayor" "yes, senator" These are all examples where we do use honorifics. And now for ones where we don't. "ye

Realistically, polarizing figures like DHH will have complaints pointed at their work for reasons other than the work itself. And when the complaints are grounded they’ll often be of higher amplitude than otherwise.

To be honest, I’m sort of annoyed that the datacenter around the corner from my home closed. It was a five minute walk on 3rd street and I know of it because we used to have so many cages there 15 years ago. Now I have to drive to Fremont.

These small towns are often just armed HOAs and the law is usually secondary to administration whim. One would imagine that state and federal police are the weapons to bring to bear on them.

Jesus Christ, that's a bad situation. It seems extraordinarily risky to leave the country to return. I know a native-born American whose foreign-born wife has been waiting years now to come to the US. By contrast, I received my green c

I place mine against the wall. It is most convenient this way because the Ethernet and power outlets are against the wall. In addition it means that the remainder of the space is large enough to be used for other things. My wife and I sit i

Really makes you appreciate infrastructure. Great story. Maybe one day everyone will have Zipline style drones that can drop off stuff anywhere.

Getting it working would probably be a massive challenge since it’s missing parts.

The era where you could reputably believe things published by anyone on this front is over. If you want this information, you’re going to have to attempt it yourself with the Opus API. It is entirely possible that any released model access

Haha seems dope. It’ll be cool to see what you build. Do post.

I’ve always had the flip position of this. It’s that the ultra smart Japanese guy doesn’t have that much economic mobility. So he practises excellence in his field. Patio11 pointed out The Sort on his Twitter feed and after that I’ve been c

You're right, of course. At this point it's inertia. It's been dead a decade.

I don't get it. The output of the CacheBlend paper is in LMCache. Did you compare against vLLM with LMCache? This is confusing.

It's clear that people place some non-zero value on archival content. It should be unsurprising that news outlets also place some non-zero value on it. Given that they place some non-zero value on it, it is unsurprising that they do no

What do you want to do with the workstation? I have a similar setup: - 512 GB - Epyc 9684x - 2x RTX 6000 Pro - 1400 W PSU x 2 but in redundant mode Mine is in a colo where it stays nice and cool. In my case, I went with less RAM and more GP

Thank you for the recommendation! I love that reference, and particularly because I am fond of the story of the shrine for a different reason https://wiki.roshangeorge.dev/w/Constancy_Preference#Concept...

That’s actually a pretty good thing. Becoming a multi-millionaire is quite achievable in this country and if that means I provide a compounding ability to my kids to provide a large amount of value to a large amount of people and capture so

In all honesty, I’d rather get paid the $500k/yr people make here than have a union negotiate a $350k one time bonus in a time of unprecedented success. Given these two options, I’m not that eager to have their system.

People are billionaires because they “share with society”. They take a small fraction of the wealth and surplus they create. If you create $6 of value for every American and capture half of it you are a billionaire. “Public investments” b

I have the same. The infra management is in one place, the apps hold their own, and there’s a docs folder on the server where each guy puts his stuff. The install is idempotent deploy scripts. But back then my stuff was more ramshackle.

The biggest mistake I made was high uptime. arjie.com was up for 10 years plus on a Hetzner VPS so that by the time they wanted to sunset the machine underlying I had no idea what my teenage self had set up. I have the backups but the site

FIFA’s solution seems reasonable. The tickets are auctioned. EDM festivals usually have an earlier round for people who attended previous iterations which is similar to this approach by Spotify. One way is to run an auction and provide ever

Immigration views tend to track who the immigrants seemingly threaten, so sites like HN tend to have the views about H1-Bs[0] that working-class people have about working-class immigrants (illegal or otherwise). It'll be interesting to
