I read it as a little joke, since both Danish and Americano are named after different countries.

I don't think that adding the feature is the issue here, but instead Google deciding it needs to push an order of magnitude more data and store it on your device. I can understand wanting to at least re-evaluate your use of a tool when

Sounds like you've jumped to conclusions without reading the whole thing, or are making a disingenuous connection between two very different concepts. Climate impacts (really just energy waste) and "legal" arguments are diffe

I would prefer my library not buy SICP (at least the Scheme edition) since it's available for free online. https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/b...

Sure, AI tools can do this. However, VS Code is the platform. Why aren't more people worried about running arbitrary VS Code extension that can do the same thing, AI or not?

The Steam Deck is an established product that was first released in February 2022. You may be thinking of the Steam Machine, which indeed does not have public pricing that I'm aware of.

After a few months of testing the waters, I just moved my gaming PC over to full-time Linux this weekend. Proton has really been revolutionary, as I haven't yet encountered something in my Steam library that won't work.

It's a serious requirements-gathering exercise. I would look inside your organization for HPC storage experts and ask them to sit down with you for an hour to walk through your users' typical workflows, expectations, and budget. I

There are several other systems I would recommend before TernFS for your environment. If you're looking at Lustre versus this in particular, Lustre has been through the wringer, and ANL/DOE has plenty of people who understand it e

> there's no legitimate (non-crawling) reason for someone to request your site from an AWS resource I used to run an X instance in the cloud that I would sometimes browse websites from. It sucked but it was also legitimate.

My only issue with OVH is that they wouldn't let me rent a VPS ($30/month?) without sending a copy of my government identification. I'm not willing to distribute copies of that without a good reason, so I ended up paying more

Thanks, you’re right, I was mistaken.

EDIT: This comment is wrong, see fsmv’s comment below. Leaving for posterity because I’m no coward! - - - Undefined behavior only means that the spec leaves a particular situation undefined and that the compiler implementor can do whatever

What amenities would you recommend around that annual budget? Honest question, I’m finding the lounges to be less helpful these days.

Arm has been in supercomputers for a while. Astra at Sandia Labs was the first Arm peta-scale supercomputer, and the first on the Top500. It debuted in 2018. Fugaku is the fastest Arm supercomputer, taking the #1 spot on the Top500 in 2020.

Google’s AI tool says that 20-25% of the world’s population flies at least three times a year. Not a good source, but at least a surprising statistic if true. Some hard data says that 12% of US flyers take 66% of flights [1]. Those are all

Just as a data point, I saw a $9 dozen of eggs next to a $2.19 dozen of eggs at the grocery store today.

by mat_epice 2y ago
At the moment, yes. For a short while, it was very hard to find eggs for less than $5-6 a dozen due to a supply issue. Since then, some egg prices have fallen back to normal. Some egg producers, however, have decided that this new price is

I have a system where I use a tmux-server config that has a different prefix (^O), status bar color (yellow), and location (top). I use that for my outer tmux session, then start default configs on other host systems. Works pretty well, I d

The system uses 30MW, but this job used a portion of it that would consume 2.6MW. There isn't really a figure for how much compute time it takes to train this thing, but 8x H100s have 32PF of AI compute among them. This job had 2,100 (

Dispute the charge with Amex, like you probably should have done at first sign of trouble. You can do this even after paying the bill.

I’ve just come to realize from this article that human challenge trials are really a form of trolley problem [1]. Is it more ethical to “do nothing” and gather data from infections in the wild, where many people are potentially harmed, or d

This has been a feature in the Wikipedia mobile app for some time. It’s a real gem, I’ve found out some really interesting things about landmarks I pass every day.
