Right, loans and stock market shenanigans are different animals. I assumed you were talking about the former given the context of “how did OpenAI find the money to pay AMD $78bn”.
In retrospect, I suppose options could have played a factor… but then again this level of ratfuckery is well beyond my understanding, so you could tell me Santa gave them the money and it’d make just as much sense.
Your collateral is now useless, give me more collateral or pay me back
I’m no economist, but I’m pretty sure that’s not how loan contracts work. The lender is taking a risk and is agreeing to accept the offered collateral as insurance against the debt. They can’t just decide they don’t like the collateral any more and unilaterally change the terms.
That’d be like if you took out a mortgage to buy a $300K house for a $250K sale price, and then a flood comes through and damages the property to the point that it’s only worth $200K, and the bank came knocking and said “pay it back or at least fork over another $100K so we feel comfy again.”
Also known as “if you ain’t storing cents, you ain’t making sense.”
VScode is certainly a heck of a lot easier to get LSPs working than e.g. vim.
If someone made it actually easy to set up neovim with lsp support that works as well as with vscode, there’d be no reason to give Microsoft any attention at all
Every front-end guide, despite modern HTML/CSS3/ES6+ being completely viable for building an entire web application without dependencies: “first, install npm and npx and npy and npppp2 and then run ‘npz create-huge-boilerplate-folder’. Now go edit arbitrarily_named_file.yaml to add requirements a, b, and banana. Now you can edit path/to/hidden/entrypoint.jsx to return ‘Hello, World!’ and then run ‘npz bloated-dev-http-server’ and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:9001/index to view it! Simple!”
I think the issue is that you need to understand who your users actually are. Documentation for a library intended to be used by a reasonably competent software engineer is going to have different requirements vs documentation for a cli utility aimed at Arch btw Linux users vs documentation for a program to help Grandma organize family photos.
If you throw a terminal command at Grandma she’s going to panic and call her grandchild. If you put instructions for extracting a tarball in your library docs the programmer is going to get bored and skip ahead.
Amazon is no better. Go look up the correct parameter format required to set a compliance lock on an object in S3 via the API. Now try it yourself. Surprise!
This is fantastic.
I wouldn’t recommend running docker/podman in LXC, but that’s just because it seems to run better as a full VM in my experience.
No sense running it in the hypervisor, agreed.
LXC is great for everything else.
That last one is just depraved.
It’s not worth the headache IMO. Just run a docker VM and use lxc for the one-off systems that you want to experiment with.
I have a “production” docker VM and a “sandbox” docker VM and prod only ever runs compose files that I’ve vetted in sandbox. Super stable, basically bulletproof, and still has the flexibility to experiment and break stuff without affecting my core services.
Turns out the old gag “You can’t get there from here; You have to go somewhere else and start” is actually true for btrfs’s RAID support.
Bro The RAID Fuckin’ Sucks
ZFS for “RAID” is fine. Btrfs for a single disk (or on top of mdraid or hardware raid) is also fine.
In my experience, Pulumi can best be described as a waste of time.
//what the fuck?
Crocoslut really started going downhill after the license change and conversion to nodejs in v9.
I love that FreeCAD exists and use it often, but I really hate how much you have to “fight” the UI. I even briefly considered learning OpenSCAD out of frustration with the ui and the toponaming problem (before realizing that switching to OpenSCAD would just shift my frustration onto Javascript fuckery).
Now that the latter is fixed, though, I have just forced myself to forget how to do things the “normal” CAD way (i.e. using patterns and flows that most other software has standardized around) and instead how to do them the FreeCAD way.
I hope at some point we get an overhaul of the UX, but in the meantime I’ll grin and bear it since I have yet to find an even remotely comparable F/OSS CAD software that works the same on both Linux and Windows.
I can attest to projectivy and smarttube, they are great. I went with the internet’s recommendation on the $20 Walmart/onn Google tv 4k box, with projectivy as the launcher instead of the default.
My only gripe so far is that the remote doesn’t seem to consistently turn the box on, I have to go unplug the box every so often to reset it. probably some misconfiguration that’s making it not wake from sleep correctly.
Despite that issue, 10/10 experience: ad free YouTube, fast jellyfin in 4k, fully customizable ui…
Actually there were seven kings prior to the establishment of the republic, at which point they expelled the rulers… a reg-ex if you will.
