…single thread
If I had a dime for every time a single threaded process caused a performance issue I’d have enough for a few nice dinners.
It’s 2026, if you can’t effectively multi-thread and learn to parallelize processes i question your effectiveness as a dev. Especially in performance oriented and scalable apps.
That’s the problem… you should be.
Okay that’s good to know. Honestly I always considered a Pi a single use, light weight device that just happens to run common ARM64. When they went for 8/16GB of RAM it felt like they were trying to turn them into mini general purpose computers.
You didn’t read the question, did you?
Once a year is about my limit. Usually by the time I’ve forgotten why I don’t go, and then my ass reminds me again of why I shouldn’t do it until I forget again in another year.
Re-read the title. My question is right there.
That didn’t answer the question. You just tried to argue what I posted instead, thus proving my point.
“Close enough for government work” is a saying for a reason.
You had me up until “cheaper because you only pay for the time that you are using it”.
We don’t really have a good benchmark there, and we’ve seen that tokens are actually much more expensive than companies are leading on as they’re trying to get people hooked. As with on-premise, or anything you own, your usage can far exceed a rented rate and then becomes cheaper and cheaper each use.
I’d be curious if there are any rented mediums that are actually cheaper once you start using them a decent amount? Cars, cloud, video, all of those become more expensive when rented if used too much.
Honestly the sooner we have fully autonomous cars the better. This growing pain in the worst part but think about things
Too many people are still scared at this point but overall this would be a positive step for societies. I know there are negatives (car could repossess itself or it could cart me off to jail) but we can’t always fall in the trap of “it has to be 100% right”.
They consume, they do not create.
I’ve been testing Mistral for a local LLM and it performs much better than Qwen in both performance and accuracy at least for what I’ve been using it for. The fact that it’s a European model is a plus too.
The best ally’s are ones that you don’t have to rely on when they’ve time and again been fair weather.
Europe needs to be able to stand on its own feet for more equal footing.
That message from the CEO… damn “you basically have about 7 hours to get all your stuff and get off our ship. Have fun in a foreign country!”
The company knew this was a failed business model and probably were bleeding money and this was the last straw.
Since I’m on the US, it would need to be “whatever I would need to live comfortably” + “another $2-5 million so I don’t bankrupt myself from a large impact medical event”, since we don’t have universal healthcare here.
Sadly that latter number is the largest reason I feel I’m “just okay” rather than comfortable given that I make over $200K. Any other place in the world and I’d be feeling good.
So just have random people go verify locations in person. At that point it’s “public”
Honestly I say to expand your horizons. I use Linux, Windows, Mac and have dabbled in BSD and Irix. I’m a big believer in “best tool for the job”. Sometimes that’s Windows, sometimes it’s Linux.
Once you start learning more of the OSs you actually realize how similar they are at the lower levels and gives you an appreciation of where they went. Hell, pretty much the networking stack as we know it came from BSD.
And when people say they got used to Windows, they would be chided for giving in and they should “just take the plunge” and switch to Linux. Now that Linux is being assimilated, you want to hold on to it. Why not just take the plunge and go BSD, or fork the kernel
Except modern DCs operate on a “lights out” policy. They can install racks of servers and capacity upfront and then only have to stop by every couple months with a remote team to swap things out. Churning away with power from your community and tax breaks but no workers to deal with. It’s already a thing.
Sadly any competition to YT has a double high barrier to entry:
First, they need to be able to pay content creators more than they would get on YT. That’s pretty damn hard.
Second, they need the infrastructure to support it. CDNs, petabytes of storage, it’s not just something small to host.
Each one by themselves could bankrupt a company and you need both at a minimum to be competitive.
