I don't have 5090, I have 395+ and I use for gpu assisted OCR, embeddings vector, speach to text and etc. I have a freedom of using a large library of various models and I can fit a lot in 128gb.

I don't use it for coding, I have $20 Gemini, $20 codex, etc.

But then I got the framework board for $1700, now it's $2700

I mean I haven't done much in c# recently, but few examples that c# ecosystem is the subpar in quality

Kafka client library sucks, I mean it was a nightmare to make it stable and there were a few of them.

Pdfbox library

And many other libraries. If you use c# Microsoft libraries only - then you are golden. outside of that its really bad.

At this point I switched to Rust.

I dropped a screenshot and it worked great. Like a screenshot of sports practices.

that's a good addition to fresh editor (also tui) and both rust

>I feel like paying your most experienced employees to quit is exactly the opposite of what Microsoft needs right now.

I always felt thats the deal. But not a lot of people left the company when one was given, and we have rolling buys out now so people are trying to time buyout + a new job offer.

>Switching to 100% European cloud'

Yea, they are even worse. They would sell out in a sec once goverment is going after them.

What is the basis for this claim?

The law of their respective country most likely.

That's dual use infrastructure. Its also used for military and goverment purposes, right? The same as China providing weapons components to Russia, masking them as "civilian".

"The Russians did it as well" is not a fantastic excuse for a war crime… You might want to think this through a bit more.

What's the problem. The Russians do stuff that you say are "war crimes", and what happens to them? Nothing. So why should anyone care if some person on the internet says these are war crimes? There's obviously no penalty against doing them, so they're not really war crimes.

Not being punished for something doesn't mean it isn't a crime, and doesn't mean it isn't wrong.

Children have a more developed sense of ethics than that.

Remember that war crimes were defined to protect civilians. It's usually better for a civilian to be on the losing side in a war with no war crimes, than the winning side of a war with many war crimes.

> So why should anyone care if some person on the internet says these are war crimes?

Attacking civilian infrastructure is defined as a war crime by the Geneva Conventions. It's not something a person on the internet made up.

That's all nice and well, but what exactly is the point if it's not going to be enforced *at all*? So we can feel smug and superior?

>"That's dual use infrastructure. "

Especially desalination plants (your sunshine promised to bomb those as well).

the boards now are pricier, at least the framework one. I got it for 1700, and now its ~$2400.

>The DOD’s workforce of more than 3 million people will now be able to use a no-code or low-code tool called Agent Designer to create their own digital assistants for repetitive administrative tasks.

As someone who moved from software companies to IT management, seeing this move to fully embrace 'everything in Excel' or basically undefined business use cases/processes moved into software ad hoc and without validation, it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Especially for companies that have outsourced IT and expect software to be defined/tested out business processes in supported systems.

In house IT is going to be huge in a couple of years sorting out this mess. I would have never guessed the future would be all custom Excel spreadsheets, but instead of Excel just random code in random languages with random data stores.

Oh this is dumb.

So the problem is filling out forms is too onerous, but rather than fix the process, create a device that fills the form with slop and then another device that approves or rejects the slop form.

I could have sworn I signed up for the other future-the one without quite this much stupid.

Had the film "Brazil" been written today, AI no doubt would be a significant plot-element.

Cost. You are about to making computers 10-20% more expensive.

Computers also aren't used much these days, and phones and tables don't have ECC

ECC has only 10-15% more transistor count. So you're only making one component of the computer 15% more expensive. This should have been a non-brainer, at least before the recent DRAM price hikes.

Also, while computers may not be used much for cosmic rays to be a risk factor, but they're still susceptible to rowhammer-style attacks, which ECC memory makes much harder.

Finally, if you account for the current performance loss due to rowhammer counter-measures, the extra cost of ECC memory is partially offset.
