The problem isn’t for me. The problem is that customers who want to learn about my product via my videos are forced to watch ads if they don’t have an adblocker.

I wish! Unfortunately, YouTube shows ads to my paying and prospective customers who just want to watch instructional content I create about things. I’ve seen them see the ads when doing user testing and watching over their shoulder. I’ve never setup or got any sort of monetization related to my videos. It makes sense they would show ads by default though, since the bandwidth and hosting costs them something…. It’s just that I would like an option to pay in order to improve the experience for my users.

I have that Magic Keyboard and would love to have the option to run real Linux via https://getutm.app/. The iPad is fully capable of this, but it is a pain because you have to jailbreak it. Ugh.

Is there any way that I can pay YouTube so that the videos I post do not have ads when people view them for free? I think there is a clear answer to this question for video, and it’s ~$60/month.

Linus had a lot of positive things to say about AI and Linux at the end of this recent interview: https://youtu.be/cPvRIWXNgaM?si=dVHbqyeBY8z-MYIH

I wish there were a way to trigger the bug reporter right on their landing page, so I can try it out from a user's point of view.

Edit: never mind - I see this is a browser extension, so kind of a non-starter.

It's "Zig" not "Zag". https://ziglang.org/ Zig is under heavy development, but there's a single page https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.12.0/ that is a reasonably comprehensive source of truth about the current state of the language.

Is there something like this (maybe this?) that provides an API so I can integrate it like any other model into my own website (in this case, https://cocalc.com)? I tried asking the Phind.com devs, but got ignored.

I've been checking about twice a week for the last 6 months, and they are very rare, but it does happen. I caught one on video 2 weeks ago! https://youtu.be/NkNx6tx3nu0?t=744

On Google Cloud hyperdisks can be used on h3, c3, c3d, m3, n4 instance types and are required for n4. I.e., you are not allowed to use the n4 instance type without using a hyperdisk.

Reference: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-resource#recom...

The t2d, t2a and h3 instance types have vCPU = core, and all other instance types have vCPU = thread.

Another pro feature is realtime collaboration: " Enterprise Edition -- Provides a commercial version for enterprises with specific needs, including but not limited to multi-person collaborative editing and browsing, data connectors, and Live Share for collaborative browsing."

Even more honest would be “on one particular microbenchmark that everybody optimizes for”.

That said, this seems like a really cool project that could have some real value! It still fully depends on having the full CPython runtime environment, but that means it could work correctly with most existing code and libraries (including numpy and script).

And those 2% interest rates?

https://cython.org can help with that.

Another relevant example is how MicroK8s uses distributed sqlite (dqlite) under the hood to make their Kubernetes distribution highly available, instead of using etcd. https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MicroK8s-High...

Also, "And so, look, long story short, the country that we think is most likely behind this is Russia."

It is also a real person event (in the same sense that late night TV is): "This year's event will be broadcast in front of a small live audience" [1]. I don't know how small the live audience is, but one person from my company is going to be there in person.

Mojo just open sourced their standard library. https://github.com/modularml/mojo/tree/nightly/stdlib

It's very interesting to browse, since it's a huge collection of (presumably) working tested example code doing mundane things using Mojo, which is extremely useful to browse when trying to figure out how to efficiently use the language. Similarly, browsing the implementation of the stdlib has helped me a lot with learning zig.

"Laminated glass, which has specific safety qualities to protect people from being ejected during a crash, is nearly impossible to break underwater, AAA found after testing various tools. "

And in some JavaScript engines (eg V8) bigint multiplication is asymptotically fast, unlike say the default CPython. It’s a very pleasant surprise if you happen to be a number theorist (say).

I have some unit tests for billing and subscription code for my company that started breaking in CI today due to the leap day: https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc/commit/8575029c2b76787...

Sagemath is a Python library (and a rather large one at that). It's vastly superior to Mathematica and Maple at some things (e.g., number theory and algebraic combinatorics) and inferior at other things (e.g., symbolic integration).

“Even though Microsoft (with 23% of the market) and Google (with 10%) each gained just one percentage point of market share year-on-year, that’s more than AWS can claim, which continued to hover around 32% market share.”. https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/microsoft-and-googl...

Gemini Ultra is not available via API yet, at least according to the Google reps we talked with today. There's a waiting list. I suspect they are figuring out how to charge for API access, among other things. The announcement today only seemed to have pricing for the "$20/month" thing.

(edit: this is completely irrelevant remark. sorry) It's (1) written in Python, and (2) ollama appears nowhere in their Docker repo [1], and (3) it gets the models only from huggingface instead of the ollama repos. Thus maybe it is NOT a wrapper of ollama?

You can also get exactly that same VM as a spot instance with a 10GB disk and external ip address in the us-west4 region for $142.04/month. (Spot instance prices vary dramatically from one region to another, but that one is very discounted in us-west4.)

Also, is this localllm kind of like a Google competitor to some aspects of ollama?

Here is a good recent podcast debunking Gladwell: https://pod.link/1651876897/episode/4a41c3af584f0a06bcfa9069...

I have an Erdos number of 3, since I published with Barry Mazur who has a 2.
