Given the water needs of data centers and the ongoing and upcoming water scarcity, I imagine the problem of heat dissipation seems easier to solve, long term, in space.


We can and do build data centres that don't use evaporative cooling, evaporation is just often the cheapest option in places with large natural water sources.


Wut?


But then if yoy pay for support it only works in one account


Assuming you're playing the "only pay for a business support plan when you actually need to file a ticket" game like me, with a very slight amount of effort this works in your favor instead of being a downside. Put your expensive-but-reliable stuff (e.g. large 24/7 EC2 instances, your S3 buckets) in one account and your cheap-but-fiddly stuff (e.g. your EKS cluster) in another account. When you need support on the fiddly stuff you're only paying a percent of that account.

At work we did not follow this advice, so we have a single account and we're vulnerable to an unnecessarily high support bill if we happen to need to file a ticket in an expensive month. We could have avoided this with account segmentation; our expensive stuff tends not to be the stuff we need support on.


This seems like a ton of work


That's always the case with AWS: reducing costs takes legwork, and by the same token, you can avoid legwork by accepting a higher bill.


Enterprise support agreements are organization-wide.

Although, you can gamify Business support (which is priced as a percentage of your bill) to not include things like your CloudTrail account, which probably never require support, but can get expensive across a large enough organization.


I had a similar issue recently and was able to convince the AI agent to give me a phone number to talk to a support representative. They manually fixed my accout and key and gtg in a few minutes.

What a PITA it took until I got a human though.


Not a big fan of this kind of promo article that just links to several of their own learning resources instead of giving some actual examples inline.

I've worked in Mongo enough to know that whatever decision I make will end up being wrong.

What i will never understand is why mongo doesn't have some simple means of document referencing that automatically updates documents a doc is embedded in. If it's such an important pattern that every app needs to reinvent for itself, just add it to the system.


I think there is confusion because coding is easy, software engineering is hard.


Coding was never the hardest problem. And it is hard to say why people are taking so long to realise it


People who don't know how to code know they don't know how. They can look over your shoulder and see that it looks like gibberish, and they also have no interest in understanding it even if they could.

On the other hand, designing the software or engineering a solution to the problem seems like something they could do, as far as they know, because it's not something concrete that they can look at and see is beyond their abilities.


I've been wanting a local LLM appliance.


Tech is evolving too quickly; every year the hardware will be much more powerful at the same price (as LLM optimizations reach hardware), so you’d end up replacing the device frequently.


Not convinced. Are CPUs and GPUs killing it %/$ wise each year like it's 1996?

Models are killing it but that is just an "ollama run" command away.


GPUs and NPUs are gaining optimizations for the transformer architecture. It’s not “GPU is 3x faster this year”, it’s “GPU has gates specifically designed to accelerate your LLM workload”

See for instance [0], which is just starting to appear in commercial parts.

This is continuing; pretty much every low cost SoC maker is racing to build and extend ML optimizations.

Like phones?


One of the most important jobs in an institution is knowing things. "Who do I talk to about ...?", "Why is X like this?"


There's a reason Musk brought in younglings to do the illegal stuff. To ignorant to know that in a few years they will be in jail.


Will they be?

The last ten years have been an exercise in "they will be in jail" without any one of import actually going to jail.

Hell, not many have even been arrested.


A bunch of insurrectionists were in jail, but then something happened and the inmates are now running the asylum.


The people that mattered didn't see jail. That's the problem.


>without any one of import actually going to jail.

I'd argue these kids won't "be of import" in the long scheme of things. Maybe in future software ethics/security classes at best. I sadly don't think Musk will ever be in a jailcell, but I'll settle for him never stepping foot in a federal facility again.


nah, in a few years, they will be rich beyond your imagination, and they will be set up to be next in succession to be king of the us.


I think you mean vassals of Elon's gene carriers.

What does that mean in this context?


President has authority to protect anyone from persecution via blanket pardons that can go decades back


what does that mean in the context of

>There's a reason Musk brought in younglings to do the illegal stuff.

You can pardon people of any age. And Trump even in this future of "there won't be any more elections" probaby isn't living much longer than this presidential term at his health.

They're not even old enough to order a beer.


Yet they are old enough to murder on government’s orders


Murder has no age restriction, literal toddlers can do it.

Child soldiers have been a thing forever.

Why is it that car insurance companies penalize drivers under 25? Decision making.

Yet the government won't let children under 21 drink.

Yet it will let them die, kill, and will expose them to predatory loans and contracts.

Hmm


Has anyone here successfully (or not) implemented BPMN for this kind of process management?


Chrome does too


Safari as well


It does not work fine on Github.
