With a calculator I supply the arithmetic. It just executes it with no reasoning so im the solver. I can do the same with an LLM and still be the solver as long as it just follows my direction. Or I can give it a problem and let it reason a

What does "solved with" mean? The author claims "I've solved", so did the author solve it or GPT?

Ok, it seems I am mistaken that this subsidy applies to datacenter (apparently there is ongoing discussions to include them for this reason). That said - I 100% don't believe that hertzner are simply passing on the price for their colo

Yeah, strictly business vs residential isn’t a good comparison either really, as the lower transmission fees for medium (10kV+) and higher voltage are where a lot of the savings are - and obv a lot of business don’t use such power.

I am in Lithuania, which has one of the highest wholesale energy prices in Europe (as per nord pool): https://data.nordpoolgroup.com/auction/day-ahead/prices?deli... That it is not translating into a higher cost t

I updated my comment to include my personal delivered rate including VAT - also note that businesses (like a data center) don't pay the VAT and have substantially reduced delivery fees at high voltage

It is comical how far apple has fallen with its UI overall. They were praised for their human interface guidelines, and yet they now break almost every rule. I appreciate things change but those guidelines haven’t even evolved they have jus

I think you have some confusion about the role of the Linux Foundation in relation to the kernel. They provide financial, organisational, and infrastructural support and neither own nor control its development. Linus is the BDFL and lead ma

Active kernel contributors are spread all around the world, with a pretty even distribution across USA, Western Europe and Asia. Your suggestion that the US government would lean on the citizenship of Torvalds in order to exert control over

It was literally created by Torvalds (a Finn) while at the university of Helsinki (in Finland).

Finland (where Linux comes from) is in the EU. There are also a few European linux distributions you may have heard of: e.g. Debian, SUSE, Ubuntu (UK), Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia, Knoppix, etc.

I’m not aware of any laypeople who use nostr either. But if you are going to build some nostr-based “resolver” into a browser you could instead use any of the other protocols - 2 of which are designed specifically for resolution, and the ot

Given the archives use of BT, probably better to just use BEP-44 on mainline DHT if you want to store an arbitrary address somewhere - or use something like IPNS, or .onion as others have mentioned. As nostr relies on gossip, there is no gu

I highly doubt nostr’s suitability as a petabyte DFS/CDN.

Capturing the head of state has happened many times historically. I think the USA is the only sovereign state to have done it in recent history though (and multiple times at that!).

Jeff, This is the second time you have been given a prosumer level cluster pretty much built for local LLM inference and on both occasions you have performed benchmarks without batching. If you still have the hardware (this and the Mac clus

A €3 duty, to which the carriers will apply a €12 surcharge for acting as an agent to collect that €3 I understand paying import duties and VAT, but they need to make it frictionless and abolish these “agents” for consumer imports.

The bait and switch was around the “free” license for non-commercial use. They got lots of people using it and porting software to it, and then they revoked that free license. Then they did exactly the same thing again a few years later. An
