It was the M3 Ultra that had that much RAM capacity, not the Pro or the Max.
It is disappointing they didn't up it to at least 256GB on the laptops, but we'll have to wait for the next iteration of the studio to see if they'll give us 1TB unified memory.
The second foundation was also made by Harry Seldon though, there wasn't a completely separate force that attempted to change history using his research.
I would rather companies do whatever they thought was best with no regards to the current administration, unless forced by law to take some action. Large companies feeling like they need to take actions to please the current President is not great.
A high grade consumer gpu a (a 4090) is about 80 teraflops. So rounding up to 100, an exaflop is about 10,000 consumer grade cards worth of compute, and a petaflop is about 10.
Which doesn’t help with understanding how much more impressive these are than the last clusters, but does to me at least put the amount of compute these clusters have into focus.
I’ve always thought the real answer was to stop the businesses from hiring people. Make an actually useful national ID system that employers can use to identify if someone is allowed to work in the US, and then come down like the hammer of god on anyone found to be employing people under the table.
People come here for economic opportunity. Remove the opportunity for people who enter without permission, and they stop coming. And that sort of solution deals with more than just border crossings.
I doubt there’s a business model there because who is going to opt in to a scheme that loses them money?
What could work is social media giving people an easy button to block links to specific websites from appearing in their feed, or something along those lines. It’s a nice user feature, and having every clickbait article be a chance someone will choose to never see your website again could actually reign in some of the nonsense.
Firing someone for having tattoos or having done sex work is completely legal in almost all US states. Generally speaking, the only things private employers can’t discriminate based on is things intrinsic to who the person is (race, sexuality, non-relevant disability), and religion. Past choices are completely legal to fire someone for, even if it has nothing to do with the job at hand.
You could freeze your credit, it you wanted to be careful. Realistically though, you should have already been monitoring to check if unexpected things were being done in your name. I’ve presumed that all our SSNs have been out there for years now due to one hack or another, that this hack just makes it indisputable doesn’t change much.
To me it’s similar to the whole “SSO wall of shame” thing, where a vital feature is locked behind more expensive pricing. As said in the article:
“We tried saying that we don't need any number of the 14 features that are included”
Which, to me, is the crux of the issue. Is it fair for Cloudflare to say “You are breaking the terms of service if you do not change your set up in this specific way, and also the way you need to chance your setup is locked behind a significantly more expensive pricing.” Being able to bring your own IP does not, to me, seem like something that should require a plan that is orders of magnitude more expensive than the standard. It seems much more to me like something that is more fundamental, and should be included as an option in a lesser version of the product Maybe I’m wrong, and there is actually significant overhead to Cloudflare for letting customers bring an IP. But as is, it feels very much to me like a situation where something vital was locked at the most expensive tier to force certain kinds of customer to pay more.
Narrowing things down to “this group of people who live together” would be pretty useful forensically, I don’t really see a problem there. Has all the same issues DNA tests do on the “bullshit for the justice system to abuse” scale though yeah. Jurors will think “ah, science, must be accurate” when there’s any number of ways for things to get muddled in real life conditions.
That’s the internal use restriction. There is also the restriction more relevant to the use cases I’m talking about on Value Added Products which is “the customer is prohibited, either contractually or technically, from defining, redefining, or modifying the database schema or other structural aspects of database objects”.
Which is, basically, saying that you can do anything that doesn’t give your customers the ability to redefine and modify the database schema as long as you are creating a product that is adding value on top of timescale. Is any of this 100% clear? Not any more that legalese generally is, and of course probably wise to talk to a lawyer if you’re concerned about it. Timescale has made their intent with the license clear in the past with blog posts and such though.
And as I understand that license, you are allowed to use Timescale for anything that doesn’t involve offering Timescale itself as a service. If you were using Timescale to process lots of time series transactions in your backend, it doesn’t seem to me like that would break the license.
(Which is to say that if, like Tembo, you’re offering Postgres as a service you do indeed have a problem. But for other use, should be fine)
No, the point of the ascension mechanic is that it gets harder and harder so that you need to play more and more optimally to have a chance at winning, there aren’t any benefits past ascension 1.
If you aren’t the sort of person who wants a harder challenge just for the sake of challenging yourself, then there’s no point yeah.
Even then, the Hong Kong Administrative Region has about 430 square miles of land, compared to New York City’s 300 square miles of land. This is a more reasonable comparison than New York States 55,000 square miles of land. (The city of Hong Kong itself is more comparable in size to the Manhattan Island portion of New York City)
Is it? I know that legally they could deport you so its not a great idea, but how often does someone actually get deported for doing remote work while spending a few months in another country?
