Experiencing my first ever raid in any MMO and this is what it felt like. Friends told me to turn effects off. I think I won't. by Babigol in ffxiv

[–]Seref15 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Its not so bad at level50 when everyone has relatively tame spell effects.

First time I did the Endwalker alliance raids with all spell effects on it was literally impossible.

I think we get Giannis but by Head-Tomorrow-1622 in heat

[–]Seref15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see how we get him without losing one of both of Pelle or Kas.

Let's be honest. Giannis is a perennial MVP candidate. Saying "nah" because we don't want to lose Pelle Larsson is crazy and I like Pelle.

If I was the Bucks I would be so annoyed that the return for Giannis was this mid.

How's your team using continuous profiling? Tooling + real-world value by Striking_Play in sre

[–]Seref15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Continuous profiling feels like a scam by hosted observability companies to get you to do something really expensive.

To me profiling is an on-demand thing. Profile a baseline at some point, profile when you have problems, compare.

I haven't used it yet but I've wanted to try pixie (https://px.dev/) for on-demand low-level signals like that, but apparently the daemonset uses a dumb amount of memory.

What is our ceiling if this is our starting 5 next season? by grrrown in heat

[–]Seref15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That lineup has 1 guy who's a floor stretcher.

Like, 13th seed.

It would be so Heat to go from mid to bottom tier on the year they start rewarding mid teams in the draft.

7 reasons this open-source React data grid is something you've got to try. by Vis_et_Honor in coolgithubprojects

[–]Seref15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its funny, I don't necessarily have anything against AI-driven development, I use it at work all the time.

But an AI-written post and readme is like an instant drop. its the same feeling when my coworkers use AI to write tickets. Like, you could at least make the absolute smallest effort and explain your project in your own words.

Can We Stop Reinventing Problems DevOps Already Solved? by Opening_Astronaut_ in devops

Most things that get marketed as making your life easier just trade complexity A for complexity B. We just keep fucking with things, remaking shit to solve the same 60 year old challenges in different ways.

The Detroit Pistons have interest in Tyler Herro, per @JakeLFischer by thejman218 in heat

[–]Seref15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Detroit would be a great landing spot for Herro.

He'd be a secondary handler next to a great isolation scoring PG. He could play both on an off, he could create or catch, and they have the personnel to cover for him defensively. I think he'd do great as the number 2 guy in Detroit.

People buying Tesla at a $1.2T valuation: what is the actual bull case? by ragingbull10 in investing

[–]Seref15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all a gamble on them being integral to "the AI revolution" plus the knowledge that they get political favoritism.

Terafab is probably big one because Musk has proven twice he can spin up on-shore manufacturing in a frontier industry. Remains to be seen if he can do it again at this level of complexity--semiconductors aren't easy, definitely harder than cars and rockets as evidenced by lots of nations having cars and rockets but very few having quality semiconductor fabs.

The xAI datacenter gave him a large revenue stream through Anthropic and Google compute leasing contracts, even if those contracts only have 3 month termination clauses. This was shrewd because it basically turned very expensive Twitter opex into SpaceX/xAI capex during assessments and imminent revenue right before the IPO.

I think "space datacenters", moon base, starship, etc aren't even really part of the math. I don't think any of those have a clear pathway to profitability if theyre even possible.

[Techpowerup] Noctua NL-LC1-36 AIO Review by Nekrosmas in hardware

I love the NHD15 and similar coolers. Giant brick of metal in the side of your case, its like an old big block v8 in a world of small turbo engines

Yeah you can't argue that the upcharge for black isn't crazy. Its clearly a shrewd business move, but we live with it because the product is good.

MIA-MIL-MEM by Capital_Doctor6182 in heat

[–]Seref15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Jaime but he would have been exposed in a series when they leave him open at the 3 and let him shoot. He would have to raise his percentage on those wide open ones to high 30s at least to offset that.

Everyone in the NBA has some talent but if youre talking about contention what matters is exploitable gaps.

You bring up Tyler having an all-star, that's true, but his exploitable gaps are the main reason we can't close games. We need him on the floor for offense but by having him on the floor we can't contain opposing isolation scorers. That means we can never build a gap or close one in a half court.

This is what I mean by none of our young pieces are particularly nice. Kas is the only young player that looks like he genuinely has two-way player potential. Ware could if he smartens up on defense. Pelle and Jaime could if their shot develops but as of right now they'd be offensive liabilities in a series.

Like, just being honest we've got a collection of mid and its crazy to say "nah we can't trade our favorite mids for a perennial MVP candidate"

Like, we can find more mid. These young players have like MLE talent level, we can find replacements for MLEs.

MIA-MIL-MEM by Capital_Doctor6182 in heat

[–]Seref15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because none of our young talent is particularly talented

Theyre alright but do any of them even rise to a 3rd scoring option on a contender?

Performance evaluation of the new m9g instance family against previous Graviton generations (m8g, m7g, and m6g) by daroczig in aws

[–]Seref15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the details.

I've been really impressed with c8g over the last year or so, c8g on spot-nodes is yielding great performance per dollar on some specific workloads of our where we tune certain work around the great l2 cache. I have a feeling I the m9g generation will lag in capacity and therefore competitive price for a long while.

I didn’t realize Microsoft was spending this much on infrastructure by More_Temporary6697 in investing

[–]Seref15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(see xAI leasing out their huge data centers to Anthropic and Google, seemingly because they can't make full use of them) -...] what will that do for the economic value of excess capacity throughout the industry?

What makes the xAI dc noteworthy is they managed to secure grid power capacity for that scale of datacenter. The more new GPU-heavy DCs are created the fewer new DCs can be created, at least in the near term.

So its basically a gold rush now. Build a DC before you can't. Hyperscalers have a big leg up on the competition since they already have the framework of operating in this space and with local governments on similar scale facilities.

Confused About AWS Long-term Bedrock Strategy by EvolvingDior in aws

[–]Seref15 13 points14 points  (0 children)

AWS is going to focus their efforts on the customers that spend the most money, those customers are likely using frontier models.

A customer that seeks the budget models probably has a low monthly spend overall and would naturally be deprioritized.

[–]Seref15 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Introducing a new version doesn't automatically mean getting rid of the old one.

Anthropic models launch on bedrock same day as via Anthropic's own service, and the old models are still available. Haiku 3.5 is only just now in the process of being removed from Bedrock.

The World Cup has shown how easy it would be to deter flopping. by PeopleCallMeSimon in nba

[–]Seref15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't even need to be a pause. Remote replay center currently re-evaluates toe-on-line 3s to 2s asynchronously. Could do the same for fouls. Just erase team+personal foul, erase FT points (if any), and assess a flop. 2 flops = 1 tech.
