Indeed. They meant to type âoeentwerpreneursâ.

In 2022, Andreessen and his wife advocated against the construction of 131 housing multifamily units in their affluent Atherton, California town.

Maybe there's something wrong with the way the company is run and the way people work if 10-12 hour days are the norm. Nobody is 100% productive for even 8 hours, let alone 25-50% more of that.

That old chestnut. So nice to see Google practice what they preach.

The TFA was written by a marketing bot or human drone and contains many nuggets of wisdom such as:

"POSIX has been the standard file system interface for Unix-based systems (which includes Linux) since its launch more than 30 years ago. Its usefulness in processing data in the user address space, or memory, has given POSIX-compliant file systems and storage a commanding presence in applications like deep learning that require significant data processing"

"POSIX has its limits, though and features like statefulness, prescriptive metadata, and strong consistency become a performance bottleneck as I/O requests multiply and data scales, limiting the scalability of POSIX-compliant systems. That's often an issue in deep learning[...]"

"Object storage is the most scalable of the three forms of storage (file and block are the others) because it allows enormous amounts of data in any form to be stored and accessed. "

"Using memory mapping to copy object data into the device means that all the data is temporarily stored and processed on the device rather than in POSIX."

"The SSD or other external device has much more available space for computing. The external device (a form of secondary storage for that computer) connects directly to the computer system and the CPU has a path to the data in the device: it is available almost as main memory while attached. Memory stays in the SSD during computing, and actively accessing the data—particularly the metadata—becomes much faster."

"Network computing power and speed will skyrocket. Though this may have its limitations - transferring data in file and block storage to object storage, for one - it will mean new developments for data-intensive computing."

That is true. Vegans also forget having already told you they were vegans, so they tell you again.

At my previous job we built all of our data clusters on top of ZFS. Why? Because of being in a highly regulated industry (for security) we ran everything on bare metal in our own datacentres. That and budget constraints meant we only had a finite/small number of machines we could allocate to this. We were able to reach mind blowing performance out of our ElasticSearch and MongoDB clusters by fine tuning ZFS's ARC and L2ARC (our workloads were very read heavy). In fact, ZFS's ARC got us out of trouble more than once. In one instance we ran into some pretty crappy performance issue with MongoDB's own cache flushing logic, ZFS's ARC, despite being completely oblivious to what it was storing, performed better/as expected from the hardware until the MongoDB bug was fixed.

We also ran extensive performance tests for our workloads for months prior to going live (we needed a guaranteed filesystem latency for this platform). We tested FreeBSD and OpenZFS (circa 0.6.8). There was no comparison, the FreeBSD implementation was much more predictable with a much lower latency standard deviation.

So there, we did all that for a fraction of what the equivalent cloud infrastructure would have cost, and we got all the data integrity perks to go with it.

Their suppliers most likely waive away all rights when selling. Their customers are the ones making the laws so they are covered.

If people used their LinkedIn profile pictures on Tinder, would anyone still get laid?

Q: "Why should I care about "gun violence"?"

A: Because it is inifinitely easier to murder tens of people with a gun than with a knife.

They must have used the same AI to come up with names for the songs.

Yes,it does. It has the most satellites per capita in the world, I think. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
