(That quote doesn't seem credible. It seems quite unlikely that Waymo would use H100s -- for one, they operate cars that predate the H100 release. And H100s sure as hell don't cost just $10k either.) You're not even making a

Where's the economic proof of impossibility? As far as I know Waymo has not published any official numbers, and any third party unit profitability analysis is going to be so sensitive to assumptions about e.g. exact depreciation schedu

No, I'm arguing that your claim about IFR being less than 0.26% is incorrect, for the western population distributions that are relevant to this discussion. You're the one who chose that paper excluding the elderly as the sole ref

If only this submission had a section exactly on how much various people in Rome were paid in gold-equivalents. Oh, well, guess we'll have to go with the unsourced and vague quote instead.

I'm not sure of what you're claiming here. Are you trying to suggest that this study actually didn't exclude the most vulnerable segment of the population from the results? Because they very explicitly excluded ages >=70.

If there's good studies supporting your claim, you might want to link to one of them rather than that paper. Yes, of course if you exclude the people most likely to die from the count, you can get a low number. But it's a pretty u

Thanks, that's definitely directionally correct. (And if it turns out to not be quite what I'm looking for, it's probably enough to find alternatives.)

I guess this is as good a place to ask this as any. Is there any good tooling for integrating LLMs into classic Unix developer workflows? So not an IDE plugin, not a new IDE, not copy-pasting code into chatbots, but something that composes

Good grief. The GP was the one claiming that corporate customers don't like doing in-place major OS upgrades. I'm just accepting that assertion for the sake of argument, because it seems obvious that it will not have the effect

Sure, let's say that's true. The obvious implication is that these users actually don't care about whether they're running Windows 11 or not, and thus the Windows 11 TPM requirement is utterly irrelevant in their decisio

Ok, so the theory is that Microsoft is after the revenue from Windows 11 licenses? And the way they're achieving this is by forcing people who want to upgrade from Windows 10 to buy a new machine rather than install Windows 11 on their

That seems pretty unlikely to be the original point of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42549415 , which mentions none of that, and doesn't even have directionally the same concerns. But also, what you wrote is basi

The question is a bit of a non sequitur, since this is not tracking. The TLS fingerprint is not a useful tracking vector, by itself nor as part of some composite fingerprint.

The packets from Chrome wouldn't be exactly the same as packets sent by Chrome at a different time either. "The exact same packets" is not a viable benchmark, since both the client and the server randomize the payloads in var

Yeah, the article really doesn't make a case as much as assert it. One way to think about this is whether all these non-file fds are useful for a variety of generic operations, or whether they're only used for epoll and one-off sy
