And in the pictures you can see a clear color difference between the anodized silver body and the exposed aluminum. It's subtle from a distance, but if you zoom in a bit its pretty obvious

If it's not a conspiracy (and to be clear, I don't think it is one) its still a failure on multiple levels of the organisation We can probably blame copilot for the email about new verification reqirements not going out to everyon

Hetzner rents you 42RU for €199 plus power and network. If we assume they can fill the entire rack, that's 4 9RU units for about €50 plus power and network. If we assume an average power draw of 20W per laptop, that's 300W for eac

Rather than a health crisis it might just be the aging population. The generation born during the baby boom is getting pretty old right around now

> Now Reeves says what's needed are policies and programs to draw male workers into fields such as nursing, teaching and social work. This is also true for an entirely different reason: all three of these fields would benefit hugely

In the case of "a hundred million identical cases" handling more concurrent cases would be enough, we don't need to speed up the individual cases. Getting the right people might be an issue. But the tech sector is actually a

Isn't that trivially fixed by raising court costs (that should go to whoever loses the suit) to cover the cost of judges, jury, admin expenses etc? I don't get the impression that this would make the justice system that much more

A lot of inference providers for open models only accept prepaid payments, and managing multiple of those accounts is kind of cumbersome. I could limit myself to a smaller set of providers, but then I'm probably overpaying by more than

The root cause is the first-past-the-post voting system that ensures a two-party system. But for the party with the most responsibility for blowing it all up I'd like to nominate Rupert Murdoch. Most visibly with Fox News, but really h

I was under the impression that they were asking for payment in stablecoins, not bitcoin? Did they change their mind?

What are the reasonable options besides a Claude Code subscription (or an equivalent from Codex or Copilot)? I could pay API prices for the same models, but aside from paying much more for the same result that doesn't seem helpful I co

Seems cromulent to me. One of the common meanings of essence is "a product of distillation" (compare e.g. essential oils - oils won through steam distillation). And gasoline is won through fancy distillation

It is incredibly volatile. Spot prices in the day-ahead auction for tomorrow are between -39€/MWh and 201€/MWh. And that's a pretty normal amount of volatility for this time of year https://energy-charts.info/

It's also a great base for experimentation. If you have an idea for an architecture improvement you can try it for $36 on the 20 layer nanocode setting, then for another $200 see how it holds up on the "full scale" nanocode K

I didn't consider it an order of operations issue. Order of operations doesn't matter in the above example unless you have bad precision. What I was trying to say is that good calculators have plenty of precision.

Presumably the rate limit is much higher

A good calculator will however do this correctly (as in: the way anyone would expect). Small cheap calculators revert to confusing syntax, but if you pay $30 for a decent handheld calculator or use something decent like wolframalpha on your

Duh, the only way to get startup experience is indeed to get startup experience. My point is that getting into the weeds of writing CRUD software is not the only way to gain the ability to write complex algorithms, or to debug complex issue

Isn't that just how most software used to be sold? If you buy Photoshop CS5 or MS Office 2023 you get the product as it's released and maybe a year of bugfix releases (but no new features). If you want the new features buy Photops

There are a lot of people in academia who are great at thinking about complex algorithms but can't write maintainable code if their life depended on it. There are ways to acquire those skills that don't go the junior developer rou

The actual offense isn't important, nor is whether they arrest me or just kick in my door and look through my stuff. What matters is that if I'm not in China I don't have to particularly care what Chinese officials think abou

From an espionage perspective your own government is the safest. But from a civil rights perspective your own government is your most immediate threat. China isn't going to arrest me for my opinions on Netanyahu, my own government coul
