This reminds me of when I used to do IT work for small businesses in college. One printing company I worked for, had about 100 computers on their network, and was using public ipv4 addresses, that they did not own, on their internal network. I forget what range they were using now. But imagine seeing a DHCP server handing out addresses like 142.250.110.1/16 on a LAN and the public ip being something totally different.

It was funny, because when I brought it up to them, it was hard to articulate why it was a problem and I couldn't convince them it was worth the effort of trying to fix. They never ran into a specific issue due to this while I was there but it felt so gross.

I am saying this to be a little snooty. Your take is very dismissive to a large group of people whose experiences you don't know. I agree that split/custom keyboards and vim are awesome; I have used them for 25 years. But the idea that you can reduce RSI treatment and everyone's situation to something so simple just isn't true. It is fine to recommend solutions to people who are suffering, but to dismiss their problems as being "solved" comes across as basically calling them stupid for not helping themselves.

I know you didn't say that, and you softened your language, but many people with disabilities or chronic conditions have to deal with everyone they share their problems with telling them their "cure". Its exhausting.

I get it! Thank you that is genius.

I really want to know how he solved this problem, which I also face:

>last year i bought a Rodecaster Duo to solve some audio woes to allow myself and my girlfriend to have microphones to our respective computers when gaming together and talking on discord in the same room without any echo

I think that the audio we are listening too is from some ground recording station that isn't necessarily near the airport. We aren't listening to a recording of what the pilots heard or what air traffic control hears.

I can't believe how affordable Hetzner is. I just rented a bare metal 48 core AMD EPYC 9454P with 256 GB of ram and two 2 TB NVME ssds for $200/month (or $0.37 per hour). Its hard to directly compare with AWS, but I think its about 10x cheaper.

I play fortnite and marvel rivals with my family. We have lots of fun. I think this genre of game is fantastic if you play with people you know on voice comms. "Solo queuing" in these types of games is not fun for me at all, so I get what you are saying, but they are popular for a reason!

Just currently exploring how custom AI workflows (e.g. text to sql, custom report generation using private data) can help given the current SOTA. Looking to develop tooling over the next 3-6 months. I'd like to see what we can come up with before dropping $50-100k on hardware.

Do you think that you can use those machines for confidential workflows for enterprise use? I'm currently struggling to balance running inference workloads on expensive AWS instances where I can trust that data remains private vs using more inexpensive platforms.

Just in case anyone else reads this and is confused. MRIs only use radio waves. No ionizing (or visible or even IR) radiation is used. The strong magnetic fields are a risk (due to interacting with metallic items embedded in the body). The contrast agents also can cause some undesirable side effects.

I agree that DFT is an approximate solution to the Schrodinger equation, but what would you like to see them do? Quantum monte carlo or configuration integration? These methods do not scale well especially when heavy elements are involved. DFT is the current sweet spot for accuracy vs computational complexity in this field. Making DFT better has been an on-going effort for the 30-40 years at least. It is not an easy task. For many real world materials, DFT is the best we can do.
