It is not a trivial challenge setting up model serving infra for ~1T or larger models, especially in a high reliability environment (e.g. your team is using it for work, or you're using it to power production apps). Sure, there are third party providers, although the quality and reliability of their inference varies.

Honestly LineageOS is probably a more secure root than the typical random android OEM; unless you're dealing with Samsung or Google.

Sentence reads better without the subordinate clause.

You can now. You couldn't do this in the early versions of iOS.

On early versions of Android, you had to give an application every permission it wanted, or you couldn't install it at all.

You can. I’ve removed Apple Music and Apple Maps (seriously, who uses that?) but apple makes extra sure most things are more annoying to use without maps. Calendar app with an address? Default to opening in Apple Maps which is missing so error message (twice). Find my? Also open in apple maps with missing app error message. Even with Google Maps set as default systemwide.

> even iPhones came (and still comes) with a ton of apps you cannot remove regardless of how little you use them

You see, the user you replied to spoke in the present tense, and is addressing the “(and still comes with)” portion of the original comment.

And they added this ability a DECADE ago.

Some people want so badly for the iPhone to be bad and only bought by sheep as a fashion accessory to signal to their wealth to their peers.

The burden of proving two events are related is up to the accuser, and rough time correlation isn't any evidence in itself.

When you have tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of employees, your organisational culture and policies inevitably change to limit the impact -- good or bad -- of one individual or a small team.

What makes it a waste of time? A reputable VPN provider that offers a pretty reliable service and has every indication of having a competent security team is worth something in itself; not everyone using Mulled wants to set up / debug potentially complicated systems either.

That seems like false equivalence. The overall economy is not zero sum.

no--i was just making a slightly silly point about tech companies 1) laying off workers and 2) spending that cash on infrastructure (including chips) which goes to 3) Samsung and in this case 4) its workers.

You should not be conducting unauthorized penetration tests against third party infrastructure providers without permission. They have processes and systems and usually just wants a heads up of what you plan to test and t the duration / timestamps.

Cuz otherwise you look like a threat actor.

That’s assuming your vendor was pentesting AWS systems. If you meant you hired a vendor to pentest your own systems on AWS, that’s of course a totally different matter.

>That’s assuming your vendor was pentesting AWS systems. If you meant you hired a vendor to pentest your own systems on AWS, that’s of course a totally different matter.

Sorry for being unclear, the vendor was attacking our organization only, and any other company was expressly forbidden in the contract. As I recall it was a fake SSO sign-in page to collect credentials that they would try and social engineer our employees with.

At a minimum you should contact AWS before you launch a phishing page as a test that targets AWS customers.

I understood it as a phishing page imitating their own system, targeting their own employees. Nothing related to AWS, except for being hosted there.

Was that Flightfox? If so, I loved using it, helped me save so much money but also time :)

It sounds like there’s a problem with having too many flights that are barely full and hence unprofitable. AFAIK the federal gov spends significant money subsidising many “small airport” routes even if they’re barely used.

That’s just the nature of the beast. Airlines have to align large capital intensive assets with fluctuating passenger demand and fuel prices. And at congested airports the slots are also expensive assets that get auctioned off, and operate on a use it or lose it basis.

Spirit and the other LCC’s problem is that the legacy airlines are now offering a similar product in their basic economy that has less hassle, higher frequency, is sometimes eligible for earnings on their massive loyalty programs, etc.

The EAS Program (Essential Air Services) is the US Government program which subsidizes routes to small communities of you're curious.

> The 256 GB/s number is real, but for context, an Apple M5 Ultra hits ~800 GB/s on its unified memory

The M5 Ultra has not been even announced.

This article appears to be predominately or entirely LLM-produced with little to no human review, and contains numerous material and misinforming errors.

It also omits serious contenders that's worth at least comparing, like the DGX Spark.

It appears to be an LLM-generated affiliate link farm.

That's a bit shit if that's the case.

The Apple M6 Ultra in the new Mac Pro is 1600 GB/s.

None of that exists, but the LLMs shall see and believe
