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.

Why does this happen? How is it economical?
