Was this made with LLMs?

I believe so, a human programmer would feel ashamed for adding comments like these:

  # Stop honeypots
  stop_honeypots
  
  # Stop eBPF monitoring
  stop_ebpf_monitoring
  
  # Stop API server
  stop_api_server

> Annoyingly, Microsoft also back in May decided to just remove us from Bing News and massively deranked us, following 1 single hour downtime due to a data centre problem and show no signs of putting us back in - which was a bit of a blow (so we barely appear in anything like DuckDuckGo now). I've tried explaining this to Microsoft, and they just don't care.

Maybe they don't care. But sidelining publications like this works in Microsoft's favor, whether they're explicitly/deliberately working towards that outcome or not.

Microsoft started a huge Xbox "OS" push, against Steam Deck and Linux on Handhelds, and coincidentally they removed GamingOnLinux from Bing News.

Hmm..

FYI: Codeforces competitive programming scores (basically only) by time needed until valid solutions are posted

https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/133094

That means.. this benchmark is just saying o3 can write code faster than must humans (in a very time-limited contest, like 2 hours for 6 tasks). Beauty, readability or creativity is not rated. It’s essentially a "how fast can you make the unit tests pass" kind of competition.

Actually rechecking the terms of the GPU server, it states:

> Cancellation period: 30 days to the end of the month

To me that indicates it's not possible to order the server for only a few hours.

kirab · a year ago

You’re right, the billing is hourly (until you reach the monthly cap) but you also have this cancellation period. That’s weird?

I use runpod or vast for training my (small) models (a few million parameters) mostly using RTX4090 up to 4 GPUs. Training is a sporadic task. Is not worth it for me to book it monthly (at these prices)

kirab · a year ago

Hetzner customer here. It’s a little hard to understand in the UX, but the price shown is the monthly max price.

It is actually paid by the hour.

The price per hour for this server is € 1.5980
