I agree, they are an amazing piece of technology, but the investment and hype doesn't match the reality. This might age like milk, but I don't think OpenAI is going to make it. They burnt $9B to lose $5B in 2024, trying to raise m

I swear some tech company acquisitions appear like more expensive art purchases for for when you need to launder larger amounts of money...

Completely agree, unless you are operating a platform for others to deploy to, ECS is a lot simpler, and works really well for a lot of common setups.

If you're wealthy and healthy, and even so only some of that timeline _may_ be possible, most just unrealistic. >You could study a language before work in the morning, and then go row for a bit. Ok, gotta be in by 9am, 30-60 minutes

Is it right that they raise $3.5B, projected to burn $3.0B this year with ~$1.2B in revenue _expected_ this year? So either prices are going to rocket up at some point and/or massive efficiencies? That doesn’t seem like a good position

Everything gets captured by capital.. This aesthetic resonates the same with me. Its partly what drove me to join a startup to do global solar radiation forecasting as first employee. Burnt myself out over 4 years, but built platform that e

Is the different names options under “Advanced Sync Settings” the same thing just with different name? “Use Custom FxA Content Server”?

How do you find the price difference? Whenever I've done comparisons, they have always worked out significantly more expensive than AWS, and AWS is already pretty damn expensive for anything that requires a decent amount of compute.

It would be interesting to get a perspective of how many developers are in these types of roles if you are closer to them than most? My experience definitely aligns with interviews with leet code questions being unrelated to the daily work.

I’ve been in similar situations, but details matter. If your scale up button is heavily abstracted services, your choice starts to become very different as the cost of reimplementing what the service does might be high enough that you end u

Capture and product stickiness. If your product is all serverless wired together with an event system by the same cloud provider, you are in a very weak position to argue that you will go elsewhere where, leveraging the competitive market t

How does this help the students with their use of these tools in the now, to not be left worse off? Most of the points you list seem like defending against criticism rather than helping address the harm.

It baffles me why an economist constantly making wrong predictions “is fine”. If their analysis leads to incorrect outcomes, what use is it? I think if you are good, you’re a trader and told to keep your mouth shut and make money. If you’re

I was someone who switched to Linux in the last 12 months due to what was for me an increase in user hostile behavior of Windows. Care to share why, for you, Recall was important enough to switch OS from macOS/Linux(?) to Windows?

The sheer breadth of misery this person inflicted through his actions is hard to quantify, and trying to say who is worse/better will always be a judgement call. But the broad dislike for this person doesn't come from nowhere..

Good points well made, macOS likely is more 'memory efficient' in that regards.

For large media, sure, but I really don't to pay a premium to then need to manage where my everyday apps are installed cause I only have 256GB of storage I can't upgrade.

Mine doesn't but yes I could move to a mATX or bigger board to unlock that extending its life. I tend to go for the 'smaller' ITX cases and boards, so currently have a x570-i setup maxing out at 64GB.

Not sure what you mean by 'efficient', they are faster for sure (amazing memory bandwidth thanks to on chip memory), but to my knowledge they would be the same for amount of data stored. So that same think pad will likely be faste

In same boat, I have the 5950x with 64gb memory running PopOS and there are times I'm hitting swap a lot more than I'd like. 16 or 32gb of memory is just not feasible, and even 2TB of storage would likely cause headaches, I have a

Maybe for a little server or something, but with the hard to upgrade 256GB storage.. I don't get the appeal. Also 16GB of memory is extremely limited these days. Again, perfect for a little server, but not for a daily driver.
