The article defines vertical scaling as using faster conveyer belts (serial performance) and horizontal scaling as using more conveyer belts (parallel performance). So your example of adding more CPU cores would be horizontal scaling, while

For small consumer products sure, but we're talking at the extreme end of performance and physical capabilities. Sure you can get a 2Ghz CPU for ~2x the price of a 200Mhz CPU, but how much are you going to pay for a 6.0Ghz CPU vs 5.0Gh

Because the world just isn't that simple anymore. 100 years ago, I would totally agree that the govt stopping citizens from spreading false information would be a violation of the first amendment. But we now live in a world where the g

Also most of the rest of the world doesn't use Twitter (I'm seeing about 240M total users?). The ones that do use Twitter do so because of a significant amount of money going into marketing Twitter's platform. Conversely, rel

Sales tax disproportionately impacts the lower class. If I had the choice between no income tax vs no sales tax, I'd take no sales tax.

I used to live in Oregon. I never tipped, and they never asked. I think one time I saw someone hand a cash tip through the window, but that's it. Honestly not having to get out of my car was really nice in some weather. Other times the

no one is saying bsd support is a requirement, no one is complaining about jellyfin existing for free, no one said it is badly engineered. they're just saying that there's not a good fit for their use case, which sounds like it&#x

their options are to: * do novel research into making a sku that produces exactly $199 worth of sound quality, no more no less (more expensive) * sell everything cheaper, which is equivalent to making both skus sound identical (less profit)

I don't have a horse in this fight, but, isn't your criticism only valid if he is gaining wealth at a significantly faster rate than he is giving it away? I think we can both agree that if he gives away more than he makes in ad re

I've been using Manjaro for the last couple of years. If you're choosing a distro and thinking about Manjaro, I say don't do it. Endeavor OS is the better arch based distro right now. I use EOS on my laptop now and will event

no one is saying that it should be legal to go destroy other people's stuff. if that's the message you're hearing, go back and re-read.

Nothing remotely close to that will ever happen, because the people who care about this don't care. In the same way that you want extraordinary evidence to back up these extraordinary claims, they are prepared to disregard any and all

I also thought that might be a challenge, but it seems like the only user facing input is the prompt to create your LLM.

I feel like this is such an antiquated take that people think it's novel again. If you told the guys on the Manhattan Project that in 80 years the next big threat to humanity would be AI, I think their first reaction would be, "th

The author's thesis is "you don't need a modal window", which the post you responded to fundamentally disagrees with.

I think of it more like a pachinko machine. You put your question in the top, it bounces around through a bunch of biased obstacles, but intevitably it will come out somewhere at the bottom. By telling it not to lie to you, you're bi

That's why the issue needs to be solved by legislation that regulates data collection. Targeting a specific app just because of WHO the data is going to is at best a military operation, or at worst xenophobic. Doesn't matter to me

A year+ ago, mastodon was almost exclusively used by people who had a principled reason to. They understood why Twitter was volatile and manipulative. Within the last year, many people converted specifically because they don't like Mus

Yes, I have to think most of these people are Twitter converts looking for something to get worked up over. Because it's definitely not a bunch of people who understand what they're saying. It would be like boycotting email becaus

IMO it's not a police-level decision whether they use encrypted communication, or how that communication is handled down the line. Like you said, Element is Dunkin' Donuts; if you don't want your cops eating donuts, petition

That's like saying, in an ideal world we don't need encryption because no one lies, everyone is responsible with the data they are entrusted with, and no one has any motives to look at data that doesn't belong to them. Ok, bu

If we're already going to have to heavily adapt our living arrangements to account for extreme climate change, at what point does 0.1° not matter? 5.0° vs 5.1°? 10.0° vs 10.1°?

this is exactly the purpose of the 5th amendment in the US. the only thing I don't agree with is the supreme court's decision that you have to deliberately invoke your 5th amendment. so much for inalienable rights...

That is a worry I have, but on the other hand, more pro RTR brands out there is more opportunities to win over customers. I had a galago ultrapro 10 years ago. Loved it, loved system 76's support for it (they shipped everyone a replace
