I have a small hobby site - maybe a few hundred real users ever, and a handful of regulars. But the logs and users table are full of brute force and lousy sql injection attempts.
AMD seem to be catching up quickly lately. I'm running Stable Diffusion, Llama-2, and Pytorch on a 7900XTX right now. Getting it up and running even on an unsupported Linux distro is relatively straightforward. Details for Arch are here: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2584462
The HIP interface even has almost exact interoperability with CUDA, so you don't have to rewrite your code.
I did Beijing to Xi'an last September in about 4.5 hours on the regular 320kph trains. To be honest, when you take into account security checks, boarding etc I just don't think it could've been done quicker by plane.
Not to mention the train station being central and the experience just being all round more fun!
It might be a huge bias but I would imagine a significant amount of productivity gained in the economy, and thus new wealth created, over the last couple of decades has been software driven. So it _should_ pay well, right? It doesn't really matter that it's considered easy or hard, just scarce.
I've heard it, perhaps jokingly, stated that more than half of software that gets built fails; it never finds a market or never meets completion. In that case high-salaries are also a good thing as it increases the funding, and thus social proof, required to start a new software project.
Well, this is a British publication and an Irish product. Britain and Ireland are separate countries (apart from the small part of Ireland that isn't).
It'd be weird if a travel, culture and food publication couldn't do an article on Casu Marzu or Champagne so I don't see why this is any different.
One thing I've found impenetrable about Stellar is the use of the XDR data format. I've never encountered this before and it's been a painful step in starting to build on their platform.
Are their any simple, introductory texts on it? A lot of stuff is from Stellar themselves.
I'm sure there are good reasons for using it, the rest of the platform looks simple to understand and well designed.
If I could recommend one book from what I've read this year it'd be When China Rules the World by Martin Jaques.
For fiction; Solar Bones by Mike McCormack. One-sentence novel about a man on the West coast of Ireland shortly before the crash hit. Won the Dublin Literary Prize.
_Solar Bones_ by Mike McCormack just won the International Dublin Literary Prize and might appeal to Joyce fans. It's based on the West coast of Ireland and is a one-sentence novel. Looking forward to reading it next month. Not without trepidation though...
"So we can look at, for example, Old Irish, where they said tó to mean yes"
Really? In modern Irish we substitute Tá for yes but it's not really yes. We don't have yes or no, we repeat the verb of the question positively or negatively. Tá is kind of 'am', níl 'am not' like
"Are you going to watch Mrs Browns Boys tonight?"
"I am not."
Are they really comparable? Maybe somewhere along the line Tá (pronounced 'taw') was taken for 'yes'.
I was going to troll and ask would it support Gaeilge but since it still thinks "Turn the volume down" in a Belfast accent means turn it up max, I doubt it :)
Not to mention getting it to play Malfeitor by Watain on Spotify...
I actually bought my Google Home in Belfast and brought it to Dublin because they're still to get in the Republic of Ireland. Yet it seems to find the southern accent easier and any location based stuff I've used it for here works fine.

Why does this happen? How is it economical?
