The author is delusional if they think there is any chance of the happening

I think he was massively over coached. Trying to fight to remember a ton of talking points and then getting them muddled up and stuck in that detail. He’d have been better off just freestyling it.

Thanks for the suggestion, turns out there are no cache headers on these images. They indeed never change, I’ll try that update. Thanks again

43% of Google traffic is now ipv6 and steadily growing

CGNAT is only a temporary band aid for reaching services that are yet to present themselves on IPV6. It’s relatively expensive to operate.

IpV6 might be largely pointless on a LAN, and sure NAT is fine there, but ipv6 already running large chunks of the world’s mobile infrastructure. It’s not going anywhere.

TikTok spider has been a real offender for me. For one site I host it burred through 3TB of data over 2 months requesting the same 500 images over and over. It was ignoring the robots.txt too, I ended up having to block their user agent.

One thing the EU got right was reducing interchange fees to 0.5%. The ridiculous situation in the US where airlines have become credit card companies that happen to have planes is madness.

Folks might like kickbacks but they’re paying for them anyway, it’s just hidden in the price and subsidised by folks who don’t use these cards.

The US should follow the EU’s lead here.

Huh, I get not selling media any more, but surprised they’re not even going to sell consoles.

So a typical FromSoft PC port then

Yeah it’s like thinking the “Democratic peoples Republic of Korea” is somehow democratic.

There are no M1 devices with less than 8GB of RAM.

The A16 Bionic has as Neural Engine capable of 17 TOPS but 6GB of RAM.

The M1 had a Neural Engine capable of just 11 TOPS but all M1 chips have at least 8GB of RAM.

So the model could run on an A16 Bionic if it had 8GB of RAM as it has 54% more TOPS than the M1, but it only has 6GB of RAM. Apple have clearly decided that a model small enough to fit just wouldn’t give good enough results.

Maybe as research progresses they’ll find a way to make it work with a model with fewer parameters but I’m not going to hold my breath.

Yeah I thought it was a NPU tops issue that’s keeping it off the 17 non pro. However since it runs on a M1 I think it’s more to do with needing 8GB RAM to fit the model.

He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”

I’d be very surprised if corporates wouldn’t just be able to disable it in MDM for their worker’s phones. Not sure it’s Apple who has ‘no clue’ here.

If they keep burning $100k/w on their Vercel bill they might not be around that long anyway!

It thought those pledges were just for Activison / blizzard stuff. The Bethesda purchase was before regulators started taking an interest. The new Indiana Jones is an Xbox exclusive Bethesda game for example.

Awesome!

Was expecting this to be Xbox/PC exclusive but looks like it’s getting a PS5 release too.

The thing with serverless is you’re paying for iowait. In a regular server, like an EC2 or Fargate instance, when one thread is waiting for a reply from a disk or network operation the server can do something else. With serverless you only have one thread so you’re paying for this time even though it’s not actually using any CPU.

While you’re paying for that time you can bet that CPU thread is busy servicing some other customer and also charging them.

I like serverless for it’s general reliability, it’s one less thing to worry about, and it is cheap when you start out thanks to generous free tiers, at scale it’s a more complex answer as whether it is good value or not.

I hope it’ll be good, but I expect it won’t be.

It is a party of grievance and a campaign of grievance…. It’s exhausting, it’s unattractive, it makes us feel bad."

My only hope for the election is that folks are finally tired of grievance politics.
