Artists get hired at companies because companies have the technology that made the artists work profitable, starting from book printing (public performance -> book printing -> cinema -> tv -> internet, similar to drawing -> photo -> digital). At the Public Performance / Drawing Era artists were mostly poor low class rogues. The technology made them what they are now.

They are protesting against natural technology development. To me it looks similar to taxi drivers protesting against Uber (protecting their right to scam tourists).

Did drawing artists protest against photography? Do celebrities protest against photographers selling their photos taken by them in public places?

They are right to be afraid though. What's really happening here most probably is Anthorpic buys rights to collect user trajectory data. In order to replace Blender users later.

Looks great! Are there other benchmarks? How does the speed compare to other LLM engines like llama.cpp / vllm (on GPUs)? Is it able to do continuous batching of incoming requests like vllm?

5k (5120x2880 resolution) on 27" monitor makes difference for text. It looks crisp clear on 200 PPI, much better compared to 4k.

I still use HP Z27q bought in 2016. I wonder why the industry has so few offers for 27" 5120p monitors.

"8k" name in this case is just a marketing. It's not 8k, it's 4230p only.

These problems happened to me and still happening. Swift transactions in USD from US to UAE are getting double converted (at cost of 2.5-4% of the total amount) and it’s very difficult to get meaningful answer from the bank support about what’s happening

> the upside can be had by holding dollars

Unless your bank kicks you out by some reason (incompetent compliance). Unless foreign bank refuses your transaction because the bank doesn’t like the color of your passport. Unless somehow banking system wants to cut extra from your transaction (2.5-4% for transaction) because of double currency conversion you didn’t ask for, because you didn’t specify correct correspondent bank and your bank didn’t tell you about that.

All that happened.

Tether didn’t lose its peg. It’s redeemable at $1 via Tether’s site as usual. The market price difference is making arbitrageurs more rich, that’s all. These headlines are FUD.

Telegram didn’t comply that rule and Russia tried to block Telegram that time without success

Oh look, another weekly crypto hating thread on HN

How high banking skyscrapers have pushed global warming? Why should I pay $50 (about 1000 kWh) for a swift transaction?

I'm using Calca since seems like there is no real alternative on Windows.

Be wary, latest Dell XPS 9370 has noisy fans. Google for "dell xps 9370 fan noise" to find a lengthy thread on official dell forum about this issue. Dell is experimenting with bios, issuing new updates, but on my dell xps 9370 the noise is there.

I had to return my laptop, hoping the shop will refund. Now bought MS Surface Laptop it is silent (mostly) and I'm happy with it.

Looks like most of the core i7 8* models are noisy.

Is there something like TokuDB or MyRocks for PostgreSQL? These things allow to reduce disk space usage by several times.

> MySQL's traditional "fast" table type doesn't support transactions

InnoDB is the traditional table type now. Myisam was forgotten long time ago.

> we had to set up our own custom collation to get, for example, "e" and "é" to be considered distinct characters

You could just use "varchar CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin"

> MySQL infamously accepted almost any kind of garbage values regardless of declared column type

There is a setting that allows strict checking.

> I cannot at this point imagine using MySQL for any kind of serious project.

It is used by many for serious projects.
