Yea and 4TB is $360 which dwarfs everything else.

My money would be on greater memory bandwidth and probably better use of that bandwidth. If you look at the big graph later on in the article, even for similar _physical_ core counts the Graviton does better than the Skylake - this implies

Their effective tax rate is only half what it was the previous year. Any ideas what changed?

Are you both in the US? It could be another "free for everyone" where everyone means "US only for now". Pretty frustrating when that happens.

Yes, you're reading the object storage traffic section. The servers themselves come with unlimited transfer.

Not affiliated with TransferWise in any way but just want to say that this is totally the opposite of my experience and that of pretty much everyone I know who uses TransferWise. We've moved hundreds of thousands of dollars through the

Still amazes me that Mike Pall was a pseudonym. I'd really love to understand what they do for a day job. Luajit is a brilliant project.

As a Brit this is utterly heartbreaking. The Conservatives tried every trick in the book in the last parliament and fought a dirty campaign that has set an awful precedent for future politics in the UK. That remain-backing and second-ref pa

The similarity is that there's a discontinuity which discourages you from increasing your gross pay because your net pay will be reduced. That a single £100k salary is enough to maintain a household of two kids is neither here nor ther

Not as dumb and not something that catches everyone but a similar problem in the UK is free childcare. 22 hours of free childcare a week is worth ~£9k a year post-tax. If either you or your partner earn a penny over £100k then you're n

I assumed these were cache servers that went into ISPs, does anyone know what they mean by "Increases AWS cloud management overhead" on a couple of the slides?

This is relatively misinformed piece of writing. There is little to no reason why high performance RISC-V implementations can not achieve performance comparable to modern "CISC" cores. As other commenters have said, VLIW doesn&#x2

No model is going to be perfect and given that, you want errors that models make to be as uncorrelated as possible. In the extreme case, if all firms use a single model that underestimates the risk of an event then that event occurring pose

Little concerning that AMD is not one of the new partners, we really need good competition on the Deep Learning GPU front to push Nvidia.

These guys need to be clearer they're the developers of PlaidML - I don't think it's made very obvious. Worth pointing out for anyone else that it seems PlaidML is AGPL licensed - so maybe not worth getting too excited about

What kind of performance are people seeing against B2? I wonder how realistic running analytics over stored data is.

Not to mention that the dataset is relatively small. A 16GB of ram server could basically serve responses sub-millisecond at line rate for like $25/month.

With regards to tracing eBPF has actually moved at a fairly brisk pace the last year or two and it will probably take a while for the documentation and knowledge to permeate. The usability side you mention is what Brendan's suggesting

Exactly as you've said, Apple's prices are comparable with their direct competitors for similar specifications but they just don't provide a low end. If your needs are met by the low end, you're forced to pay a premium.

Not sure I agree on the cell phones at all. I have plenty of relatives who are very satisfied with their Moto Gs and for whom the alternative would have been an iPhone at 3x the price. If you want equivalent specs then sure, the prices are
