Not having snow accumulate on the panels definitely will be contributing to that gain since a bunch is lost on more horizontal panels in those parts of the world due to a layer of snow sitting on top for quite some time after the event. One

Right, the last 10% will be expensive or you accept a potential 10% failure rate.

Same with every other aspect of their offerings. Look at EC2 even with instances like m7a.medium, 1 vCPU (not core) and 4GB memory for ~$50 USD/month on demand or ~$35/month reserve 1 year. It isn't even close to be competiti

Just by the nature of the product, the manipulation will be a lot more subtle, and likely more successful than traditional ads..

Yup. If you want something to plumb some pretty low volume events, sure serverless like Lambda can be useful. Anything which would be considered high levels of compute, you are just wayyy over paying. Hell, even EC2 on spot instance is expe

The VPS is like renting office space. You don't own the space, but for the most part get to use it how you want, and all the responsibilities that come with that. "Serverless" is like paying for a hot desk by the minute, with

Software updates and data collection. Eg, my mums Toyota Corolla 2018 already has a disabled infotainment button because of dropped support. If it was a 2019 it would have been eligible for an update, but not for 2018. Lots of cars from the

Same, early 2010s IMO seems to be the point where the industry really started to shift. There are some good cars from before this time, but keep them running past the 2030s will be a challenge.

In Australia, AWS dev position in 2021 had a take home. Microsoft contract position before that didn’t but they were desperate to fill seats on a poorly executed gov contract.

As a sounding board for things you are already well familiar with, I agree, and have experienced the same, and that can be useful. It's also a much better experience than say using Google to do the same, or just a rubber ducky. The NLP

Claude is decent for sure, but if you are using these models for 'smarts', that is a whole separate problem. I also think honestly people are sleeping on Mistral's medium 3 and devstral medium. I know it isn't 'smar

Spot on. The issue I think a lot of devs are grappling with is the non deterministic nature of LLMs. We can protect against SQL injection and prove that it will block those attacks. With LLMs, you just can’t do that.

I’m not a fan of k8s, but “serverless” imo is not a good trade either, especially AWS lambda. ECS with ALB is probably an ok middle, but still expensive, even with heavy use of Spot instances. Cloud isn’t going to be getting cheaper..

No ECC is the biggest trade off for me, but the C236 express chipset has very little choice for CPUs, they are all 4 core 8 thread. Ive got multiple x99 platform systems and for a long time they were the king of cost efficiency, but lately

Valve is a private company so doesn’t have the same growth at all costs incentives. To Microsoft, the share price is everything.

It does have negative prices as well as interconnects between most states, but it is risky for consumers (average household) to be exposed to these price swings. I don't like retailers, but they do shield the average consumer to wild s
