Hey everyone, out of curiosity, how much do you spend on a , , (or Windows) cloud instance for your side project? Also, please state the provider.

anthropy ,

@nixCraft ~143.95 a month at Hetzner (small statuscheck/frontend container + biggest storagebox + a server with 4x16TB disks which is currently running this mastodon server and other stuff like Gitlab, Matrix, Seafile, Nextcloud, etc)

Been thinking of moving elsewhere, and already have a full copy of everything locally, though also kinda hoping to have fiber here soon, if all goes well I should have symmetric 10gbit to my home which will easily let me host my own things on my own solar power :)

@MrLovenstein in life, you need motivation, time, and money, to do things, and usually you can only pick none of the three.

Many people canceled their Openai subscriptions, or it is tough to monetize stuff created with generative AI, I guess, so Sama comes with a new plan to use all those GPUs. They are now going after OF models. WTF OpenAI? They are going to allow deepfake? This company is beyond evil 👿

The $499 Google Pixel 8a is official, with 120 Hz display, 7 years of updates

The new Pixel 8a looks like a mid-range champion.

@arstechnica yay it's finally released! been using it for around half a year, it's been pretty smooth sailing, loving the battery life on it, and the round smooth shape easily fits in any pocket, also the "0.5x zoom" large angle camera is nice, I do miss the zoom camera on this thing but obviously that's what you'd get the pro version for. Also good to note that, unlike the pro, this one doesn't have the infrared thermometer AFAIK (at least I couldn't find it in my version)

Microsoft developing MAI-1 language model that may compete with OpenAI—report

In project headed by former Inflection chief, MAI-1 may have 500B parameters.

anthropy ,

@arstechnica parameters is one thing, actually being smart is another. In some way these LLMs are like people; each one is unlike the others, better at some things than others. As much as we like to throw around numbers and benchmarks, I would really just like to test it in order to judge. 500B is quite a bunch of parameters, there have been smart models at twice that, half that, and a tenth of that. we'll see how it goes.

say goodbye to the sudo. a sudo replacement called run0 that will be part of the upcoming systemd 256 release. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/devel/run0.html

anthropy ,

@nixCraft this actually looks great, he makes some great points about SUID binaries in his posts on Mastodon, and the idea of instead using a service that runs the thing for you gives you a lot more flexibility and control over 'sudo-ing' while also making it more simple from a security point of view-- I can imagine it could also make it more complicated from an operational point of view though, but I guess we'll have to see what it's like in practice
