I don't think the discourse is about just this one guy, it's about an entire class of people for whom swiping around a smartphone is a bewildering experience they managed to live their whole life so far without. If you're not adept at it, it makes you feel stupid, maybe you haven't had that experience but there's more to being a luddite than stubbornness.

If I can get along with the rest of my life on a flip phone, it seems pretty unreasonable to buy a device just to buy sports tickets.

I would agree. It also seems unreasonable to expect the organization to make an exception to a completely legitimate anti-scalping measure for one person.


>for one person

For everybody. Nobody should be forced to use a proprietary phone app.


Why not? Going to a Dodgers game is not a constitutional right, if the business wants to make it harder for people to give them money that might be stupid but it's their right.

It's true it can be done but many business owners are not hip to cloudflare r2 buckets or github pages. Many are still paying for a whole dedicated server to run apache (and wordpress!) to serve static files. These sites will go down when hammered by unscrupulous bots.

The library's archive is not a service provided by the newspaper

So? If the newspaper's website is willing to serve the documents, what's the problem?

The point is, if you're pleading with others to respect ""intellectual property"" then you're a worm serving corporate interests against your own.


I may be a worm but at least I respect that others might have a different take on how best to make creative work an attainable way of life since before copyright law it was basically "have a wealthy patron who steered if not outright commissioned what you would produce"

meta had the gpus to train llama because of their capital spend on horizons, so at least they were in the game, but maybe he didn't see "chatbot" as a trillion dollar product category

huh, its been a decade since i built a PC, whats changed?

DDR5 is much, much more fickle than DDR4 and earlier standards. I think it's primarily due to pushing clock speeds (6000 MT/s would be insanely fast for DDR4, but kinda slow for DDR5).

Memory training has always been a thing: during boot, your PC runs tests to work out what slight changes between signals and stuff it needs to adapt to the specific requirements of your particular hardware. With DDR4 and earlier, that was really fast because the timings were so relatively loose. With DDR5, it can be really slow because the timings are so tight.

That's my best understanding of it at least.


My guess is bigger numbers, higher voltages, tighter timings.

It's an AMD thing

They deliver on contracts or else they wouldn’t keep getting them

Claiming a particular weapons system is “necessary” is war brained. There are other ways of survival besides bombing the shit out of each other.

True, I am partial to battle drill 1A.

Certainly we do not need to make those decisions based on fuzzy vector search, probably how the opening salvo of the Iran war ended up killing a hundred school girls

I really have never heard of on prem 365 deployments, I think any confidentiality is handled via contracted promises with legal ramifications for breaking. With Azure GovCloud for instance there’s no encryption / user key custody on the one drive side, everything you do is uploaded to Microsoft and they maintain keys, they just hire people who passed a background check to run the infrastructure, US nationals only etc

There is on prem office.

Government and 365 is weird.

Non-military entities use “Government Community Cloud”, which is an environment where data is stored in segmented areas of Microsoft data centers, but everything else is on commercial infrastructure.

You absolutely can host keys as a customer.

The Microsoft approach to all of this stuff is insane.


Good to know, I shouldn't be surprised anything is possible once you get into having an account executive catering to you.

It’s not that deep, show HN is just that, show and tell, I seriously doubt this was built just to get engagement on social media
