Billing per used or not idle cpu cycle would be quite interesting. Number of cores would just effectively be your cost cap. Efficiency would be even more important. And if the provider over subscribes cores you just pay less. Actually that's probably why they don't do it...

Don't most big clouds not share cores between tenants? I have a vague feeling that around spectre/meltdown this was stopped. I wouldn't be surprised to be wrong, but if you're dedicating a core to a VM, you're not going to charge less for unused CPU that nobody else can use.

One of my networking groups uses Jitsi. It's fine.

curl -u just requires the field to be there, I suspect. No authentication takes place. You can send any password and the output doesn't change.

I think the curl -u switch just requires the password field to be filled, there obviously isn't a legit user account test@example.com with a password of password either at microsoft or at the Japanese imap server.

>I think the curl -u switch just requires the password field to be filled

Yeah you're right, if you don't specify the password (eg. -u user), it prompts you for it

>there obviously isn't a legit user account test@example.com with a password of password either at microsoft or at the Japanese imap server.

But presumably the fact it's there at all suggests it's a required parameter? Maybe "password" is just a placeholder, but it's unclear based on the command line transcript alone.


You get longer support than that on Pixels


Topics near current political issues are always a dumpster fire. If you really must comment just assume you're going to be downvoted and strawmanned so you won't be disappointed. Good luck with your journey and have a nice day yourself.


My intention about current political issues wasn't to be political. I posted it when I found some news pretty early and discovered that the previous post was flagged.

HN flagging is much of an issue too where you can observe in those threads. If you want, I can share the link perhaps.

The news of US blocking 75 countries have true deep economical impact and I dont even know how it got flagged since its a massive news development and something which impacts the valley and so many other people and I genuinely just wanted people to know and discuss about it similar to other posts (which didn't get flagged but I would consider more controversial??)

I just straight up don't know about this dual hypocrisy I witness in Hackernews. Your comment is still extremely good (compared to the two others one of which is a bot and the other called about xbox??)so I"d love to continue this discussion

> Good luck with your journey and have a nice day yourself. Thanks!


The obvious issue is that there's potential for any of the AI models to be tricked into producing dodgy content, so if you ban Grok for this you're then obligated to act against the rest too. I'm 100% sure I'm not the first person to realize this, between the various agitators here. Personally I think that de-anonymizing so that existing laws against the content produced can be prosecuted is the way forwards.


The other major AI providers do not have a social media platform attached to it. I also doubt that the guardrails in Gemini or OpenAI are as lax as the ones on Grok.

The debate is whether to ban X, not Grok though.


Doesn't help if it's people outside the UK using it to make deepfakes of UK nationals.


How would banning AI in the UK help there either?


Things would quieten down considerably if Twitter stopped showing them to the UK, as then the number of people being harassed by indecent images of themselves would drastically reduce.


You are trying to use reason and rationality to make sense of lying and narcissism. You are correct, you are not the first person to think of that, but the objective is to find, hunt, attack, assault, damage, destroy, and root out places where the human right of free speech/expression may exist.

The last thing you want to do is play right into the hand of psychopathic narcissists by "de-anonymizing" everyone. You simply do not understand what you are proposing and thereby condemning your children and all of humanity to with that mentality. It is advocacy for tyranny.


I switched my main everyday machine to Ubuntu last May, no regrets, it's a superior experience day to day.


Reuters earlier this year - "The development of the 4680 battery has been facing troubles, with the company losing 70% to 80% of the cathodes in test production compared with conventional battery makers, which lose fewer than 2% of their components to manufacturing defects, the report said."

The company L&F referenced in this article were supplying said cathode material.

It's not immediately clear to me why a news piece on a Salvadoran prison is relevant on HN, I guess that's why the flagging.


This forum discusses information freedom pretty much all day every day. Now we have a real world example of suppression of information in the US which is rather rare and people (see comments) using technology to evade it.


I wish when stories get flagged it would list who flagged them
