You can’t remove the administrative state. It’ll be happy to sustain the illusion of “democracy” for you by throwing a few of its representatives under the bus every now and again, but in the end all of the candidates you get to vote for ar

That’s the thing I’m finding so hard to explain. Nobody would ever pay even $2 for a system that is worse at solving the problem. There is some baseline compute you need to deliver certain types of models. Going below that level for lower c

That’s the correct answer. Years ago I worked on inference efficiency on edge hardware at a startup. Time after time I saw that users vastly prefer slower, but more accurate and robust systems. Put succinctly: nobody cares how quick a model

I do not believe there _are_ "latest Apple leather cases". Apple does not make leather cases anymore as of last year.

It's probably not rainwater that's causing the rust. It's the water from the pavement, which does have higher mineral content, and might have corrosive substances, such as salt.

Up? Idk, I certainly don't have the nerve to buy into a position at this kind of P/E. But they don't need to run faster than the bear, and their next best competitor has the agility of a stoned sloth when it comes to the soft

Intel can’t even make a competitive CPU anymore, let alone a competitive compute-oriented GPU. It’s way behind on lithography, with no end in sight. Their GPUs also aren’t properly integrated with any popular DL framework. I honestly have n

Nobody other than Anthropic and a few other large cloud customers like that really cares what Google is working on. They bet the farm on a DL framework (Jax) with 2% market share. That’s a very deep hole to climb out of, particularly consid

As much as I’d like to say it’s overpriced, its only potential competitor, AMD, is even more overpriced with an eye watering P/E of 324 as of right now, three times that of NVIDIA. Such numbers are stark raving insanity for hardware co

The regime he was fighting was far too humane for its own good, that is quite obvious in retrospect. Stalin, however, is not a black and white figure for Russian/Soviet history. On the one hand yes, there were purges, and a large famin

Setting things up in cloud in a way that prevents some proverbial NSA analyst from beating off to the naked pictures of your wife without you knowing, on the other hand, is impossible. Why this learned helplessness? Is this “hacker news” or

The solution is simple: install it behind WireGuard and trust yourself more than Google. Google has repeatedly betrayed your trust over the years.

All of that is super straightforward in 2024. The problem before Immich came along was that software sucked in one way or another. Take Photoprism - the leading solution (imo) before Immich. Poor AI and search, poor mobile uploads, user man

I also self-host NextCloud, and if we're honest, its image hosting is pretty underwhelming in comparison. I moved it to Immich. If those issues are critical to you, however, that is a valid concern, but I'd venture to say they are

I agree with your points. Where does that leave the Western societies, though? Maybe a change in the course should be contemplated? There are several particularly insidious factors at play here as well. Unlike after the war, single-income f

This is quite literally mathematically irrefutable, no matter how many levels of obfuscation one piles on. A society with a fertility ratio of 3 will eventually supplant one with fertility ratio of 1, it's only a matter of time. Much l

For people who still haven't tried Immich, I urge you to do so. If you self-host anything at all, which in 2024 you should, as a technical person, it's literally half an hour worth of work to self-host this full blown Google Photo

“Tried”, past tense? Why do you think we’re seeing such articles, and why is it so difficult and expensive to raise even just one kid in some of the richest countries in the West? Under a rational system the State would make at least 2.1 ki

Whoever procreates shall inherit the Earth, rather than the “meek”. This can’t even be argued with - it’s provable mathematically.

No doubt. Though there's also the fact that more violence could have led to a harsh blowback much sooner, as it has in the past sometimes. I'm thankful Dostoevsky in particular was spared execution. He, in my humble opinion, is th

“The Demons” is the more literal translation from Russian.

Dude only partly got the point of the novel. To get the whole thing you need to know a bit about Dostoevsky. The novel is about himself before he ended up in Siberia for exactly the kind of highfalutin, self-aggrandizing revolutionary liber
