Amazon Bedrock supports Claude 3.5, and you can use inference profiles to split it across multiple regions. It's also the same price.

For my use case I use a hybrid of the two, simulating standard rate limits and doing backoff on 529s. It's pretty reliable that way.

Just beware that the European AWS regions have been overloaded for about a month. I had to switch to the American ones.

And, really, wouldn't a car that had controls like a plane be awesome? Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I'd adore a set of metal physical switches just above the windscreen. Add a HUD while you're at it...

I'm new to cars - I haven't passed my test yet. I also live in the UK, where manuals are the norm (and that's what I'm learning on). What is it that you dislike about CVTs? When you say a real gearbox, is it manual or automatic?

I got an email from Microsoft recently with that funny thin font used for headers. It reminded me that that was a trend around 2016 or so. The headers would have thinner font strokes than the body text, despite being substantially larger.

I remember that around that time (I was quite young) I was putting it in all my attempts at websites (all hideous, even at the time) and I thought it looked really cool. Funny the way trends go.

In the case of the email it was clear that it just hadn't been updated with the times.

BTW we all know this is LLM generated. It's really obvious. Please stop (entirely; don't just get better at hiding it).

It almost makes me want to find some use for them on my Linux box (not that is has an NPU), but I truly can't think of anything. Too small to run a meaningful LLM, and I'd want that in bursts anyway, I hate voice controls (at least with the current tech), and Recall sounds thoroughly useless. Could you do mediocre machine translation on it, perhaps? Local github copilot? An LLM that is purely used to build an abstract index of my notes in the background?

Actually, could they be used to make better AI in games? That'd be neat. A shooter character with some kind of organic tactics, or a Civilisation/Stellaris AI that doesn't suck.

My solution to this was to setup my laptop to boot in less than ten seconds. I could generally go from shut down to logged in with Obsidian, Firefox, and Anki open in about 30 seconds.

HS2 is more about NIMBYs and inefficiency than actual technical issues.

I'd love to see Olympic capture the flag.

I think the prompt should be changed to commit to the joke a bit more. It keeps reminding me that it's ridiculous satire.

Perhaps it could be underground, either in an excavated area or a natural cave?

Falcon 9 launches every three days. It's not even fully reusable and it burns kerolox, requiring the engine be cleaned.

I doubt they'll have that cadence ready for Starship within NASA's ambitious timeframe, but if they can get orbital refuelling and full reuse working (which are big ifs) high cadence should only be a matter of time. And when you're just refueling it every flight, rather than building a bespoke new rocket (as with SLS), the cost for twelve launches would likely be significantly lower than one SLS launch.

The internal cost for a Falcon 9 is approximately 15 million, and that's including a thrown away second stage, drone ship usage, fairing recovery, and engine refurbishment.

100%. I see them conflated a lot, particularly outside of HN, and I think it really damages the discourse. Censorship for political or brand reasons (and I'm not making a moral judgement by my choice of language) is very different to aligning for safety reasons.
