I feel vindicated :). We put in a lot of effort with great customers to get nested virtualization running well on GCE years ago, and I'm glad to hear AWS is coming around. You can tell people to just do something else, there's pro

This isn't strictly correct: you probably mean wrt compressed size . Compression is a tradeoff between size reduction and compression and decompression speed. So while things like Bellard's tz_zip ( https://bellard.org&

I haven't benchmarked them myself yet, but the C++23 flat map containers are supposed to finally have fixed this. Chrome lists them as TBD: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/style

Wait, really? I haven't been up this season, but it's always been there! I understand removing the printed ones when the bars have them (and the big boards at the top). Is it all just ads now?

Every lift at Snowbird has the map printed on the bar. So you can plan your route on the way up. I agree that when you get lost, that map won't save you, but I think an offline PDF is also fine.

You can get by pretty well with the ~$20/month plans for either Claude or Gemini. You don't need to be doing the $200/month ones just to get a sense of how they work.

I dunno. The folks at Physical Intelligence are showing remarkable progress for being such a small team and relying on Gemma as their base model. https://www.pi.website/blog/pistar06 has some reasonable footage of maki

How would you distinguish the article from an honest write up about transistors? That is, you know about his crusade in ML, but if you didn't, how would you decide that this article is written in bad faith or not? I agree that context

Disclosure: I used to work on GCE. Nice write up and very clever work. I'm surprised by the AWS response that you linked to though ( https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/ec2-defenses-against-l... ). While I wa

Ehh, PHP fits that bill and is clearly optimizable. All sorts of things worked well for PHP, including the original HipHop, HHVM, my own work, and the mainline PHP runtime. Python has some semantics and behaviors that are particularly hosti

Not at all. We've been working on this for a while, and we're now comfortable with the reliability bar we've hit to begin a gradual rollout to the public. As people said, this has been years in the making.

Make sure to do whatever "express interest" is required inside the app. We've often done a first-come, first-served approach for getting people off of waitlists, so get in now :).

Sorry about that. Please file in-app feedback (now under Help > Leave Feedback) any time you experience something like that. There's a dedicated "Car Condition" tag.

We comply with the posted speed limits. Definitely on 101 near San Francisco where there are 55 mph zones (and maybe even 50 mph?) it's pretty noticeable. But we do hug the right lanes.

Yes, there have been a couple re-render the whole thing. There was a good write up somewhere that I cannot find now where there was a discussion of keeping RenderMan bug compatible with the original or not. They also upped the shading rate
