I think OP might be referring to synthetic data, which is now used to provide more data for training?

A t2 instance is virtualized, AWS keeps its servers for 5 years (see their 10k https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1018724/0001... ), so your t2 does get moved around r…

I mean if you run serious stuff on a non-ECC CPU from 2015, you'll probably have a bad time. They're great for hobbyists but people on here keep bringing them up as the flagbearer …

We're not even talking cutting edge. If you browse hetzner's auction page you can see they're renting machines with almost decade old CPUs like the Xeon W-2145 or i7 6700. That's j…

Upcloud, Scaleway, Clever cloud, etc.

Never understood why hetzner gets brought up so positively here when there are dozens of EU competitors who are just as good and don't run 7 year old discounted servers

> I think what's really going on is that bots expose how underpowered web servers has gotten in recent years More often than not they're running on a VPS, and cloud providers have …

Congrats! I'd be curious to hear what changed (and what didn't) with applicants over the last 15 years. I feel like the programming community is very different than in the early 20…

For all intents and purposes you'll be able to move an open weight model wherever you want. I really dislike this rhetoric, you sound like the FSF guys who are like "you're not fre…

Yeah and I was trying to explain that sum types don't work for pointers, without a significant performance hit. No one here is saying C is a great design, but in the context of 60 …

Please check your tone down, I'm arguing politely with you but apparently you're so wrapped up in this that you're resorting to ad hominems. Sum types aren't the be all end all to …

Pascal had pointers? They could be `nil` too https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse15.html

How are you going to build sum types in a way where you can interact with assembly or machine code? The CPU doesn't know about that stuff

Genuinely curious, how would you handle cases where a value is unset without NULL? This is a legitimate case that happens a lot in eg data modeling

tbqh the airbnb owners are also outsourcing the externalities of short term rentals to make a quick buck. It's outsourcing all the way down

Middle-management as we knew it at the turn of the 2010s is probably gone forever. You don't need to coordinate many many teams as you used to. Same as huge frontend team with dedi…

Not at all — they're working on cheaper cars that they're testing in SF, and they will probably only roll out Waymo to the wealthiest markets in the US. Think airport rides to JFK …

This applies to newspapers too — if you compare the print version to the online version of a newspaper you notice that there's a lot more attention paid to the paper version. Where…

This is the redis guy you're replying to, I doubt he's on Claude's payroll

I'm answering the claim about Artemis being more dangerous than the space shuttle. Obviously landing on the moon is a lot riskier.

Ah I appreciate the answer — I'll do that next time. Thank you for moderating btw, you've been doing a great job!

This was the farthest humans ever travelled from earth, even farther than apollo 13. Intuitively the farther you go the higher the risks are

@dang is it something on your radar? Lots of people do this on Reddit and it makes some threads unusable.

Sorry I didn't see your reply, what was it about?

You must be German — the French state is a lot more top down than Germany with its regions, so generally these kinds of mandates get applied broadly
