The question is how far can they lower it while still claiming to have still provided the 'always free' - I mean can they reduce my nice free VM to 32k of ram and a 1/1000 of a core and a byte of bandwidth/month?
Haha yes that was a very silly mistake on their part; they should at least have registered the domain they were targeting; that would actually have been a good canary - any real accesses should set off an alarm.
While I knew of .example I didn't know .test - hmm that's quite nice!
They are different opportunities for thieves; airport parking has an advantage that the owners are expected to be away for a while, and, if someone is involved in the parking then they know they may be away for lets say 2 weeks. So then the thief thinks if they can steal the car soon after they arrive no one will notice for ~2 weeks by which time it's in a container on the otherside of the world.
Yes, once I can put in the delivery details something like '7 medium size bananas, with no bruising, varying in ripeness from almost ready to still slightly green' and let a robot at the other end sort it out I'll be happy.
The initial grouping of 'pack of organic bananas' with individual bananas feels like a wrong number in the pack problem; eg we typically want one a day so want to buy 7 in a weekly shop but the pack size is 5.
The EPS was a lot lower than expectation though - and I thought that was the only reason people held IBM shares, they've not traditionally grown quickly but IBM has traditionally done anything it could to get a good EPS.
The other more techy side is to think that a year or so ago when everyone was climbing on AI, people were buying stocks in lots of tech companies to ride that wave; some companies (Nvidia, Samsung, Micron etc) are making a fortune from it. IBM? It's got some things it can point to it's doing in AI but it's not the big beneficiary of this wave.
Well I wouldn't pay for it to be idle; if you want to ensure you have the ability to do it, then you buy some proportion of it's potential output at their increased costs; but while that's happening you work on all the reasons it's more expensive.
Nested virt on x86 is curiously painful; you'd kind of think each layer would be isolated, so that the L0 (hardware) would only have to worry about it's VM (L1), and L1 would have to worry about it's VM (L2); but nope - the L0 top level hypervisor sees faults from the L2 and has to figure out that they are actually L2 not L0.
IMHO the extra complexity (and historical flakiness of it) - makes me say that enabling nesting is a bad idea for public VM hosts.
As I understand it, that they've gone back to the point of making the ovary and the egg itself is going through Meiosis helps here, because it's got the randomness of picking genes between the pair of chromosomes in the source. So it's not just a clone; it's a little more natural than if they tried to produce the egg directly.
Yeh, it had 'kerfuffle' as one of the last words but that's very common.
Yet it had Zenzizenzizenzic (which I'd never heard of but I think I guessed it right)
It really could do with a summary showing the answers you made and corrections for what you got wrong.
nice work although, the level of marketing of calling your device 'high density...17 quantum devices'
or having the bold '50 devices in the last four weeks' - does say there's some way to go!
one of the articles lines is more generally interesting 'In mammals, neurons in the spleen can communicate with macrophages, and in both mammals and birds, these neurons also connect to the central nervous system.'.
Perhaps the uncertainty is more to do with the public being able to see this new tech; think what's happened in those 30 years, some of which you as a techie would have been well aware of but most people were clueless about. Those of us using PDAs at the time, most of the public didn't imagine constant wireless connectivity and powerful computers in their pockets. Networked games, neat tricks bunches of geeks ran at the time; today everywhere.
Is AI really that much of an outlier other than public knowledge?
