We simplify the big O notation in computer science. This is standard practice.


Just drop the constants, it doesn't matter /s

Production systems running and melting here...



Probably Bunny CDN with Edge Scripting.


Don't worry, professors do it too.

I had one such professor in accounting. Typos, numbers from wrong year, copy/paste mistakes, forgot to turn on precision as displayed, mismatching account numbers, etc.

The textbook (written by someone else) also had mistakes. At least not in every exercise, but enough to be annoying.

Exams were also graded based on an incorrect solution, so you always had to fight for a revised grade.


They do support if you spend enough money with them. At least with GCP. Access to in-house cloud architects level of support, even.


It seems like they're entirely different units?

TOPS means Tera Operations Per Second.

Petaflops means Peta Floating Point Operations Per Second.

... which, at least to my uneducated mind here, doesn't sound comparable.


I'm assuming that the operations being referred to in both cases are fp4 floating point operations. Mostly because

1. That's used for AI, so it's plausibly what they mean by "AI OPS"

2. It's generally a safe bet that the marketing numbers NVIDIA gives you is going to be for the fastest operations on the computers, and that those are the same for both computers when they're based on the same architecture.

Other than that, Terra is 10^12, Peta is 10^15, so 3352 Tera ops is 3.352 Peta ops and so on.


> He can't prevent WP Engine from getting access to Automattic services, so he acts out his revenge on the rest of the world instead?

Not a fan of Mullenweg either, but let's be realistic. For anyone who isn't completely detached from reality, dealing with lawsuits is draining, emotionally and mentally.

It's easy to point fingers and assume motives, but unless you're in the trenches, it's hard to truly know what's going on in someone's head. Given the circumstances, his decision to take a break isn't exactly out of the ordinary.

Most people would probably do the same if they were in his shoes.


The lawsuit exists because he repeatedly chose to force it into existence. He will almost certainly lose it because he repeatedly made bad choices which had to have been against his lawyers’ counsel. He is likely going to lose the foundation’s non-profit status because he repeatedly made bad choices.

I’m sorry for the other people affected and am amazed that he was willing to trash a reputation and business decades in the making, but it was his repeated choice to do so.


I'm not criticizing his personal decision of taking a break. I'm criticizing the fact that he pulled wordpress.org's functionality along with him, as if those functionalities depeneded on him personally, and the way in which that break was announced - namely, by spending most of his announcement criticizing WP Engine instead of talking about breaks.


Sure, but he brought 100% of this on himself with his previous petty-tyrant tantrums. There was absolutely no reason he needed to be on the business end of a lawsuit.


My brother in christ, he made this happen.


Ah, the classics:

"Pedestrian involved in accident"

"Cyclist collides with car"

"Car brushes against cyclist"

"Vehicle loses control"

Amazing how responsibility shifts when a two-ton machine is involved.


Study finds that 65 % of employees bypass cybersecurity measures in companies with terrible cybersecurity practices? Shocking.


That's what's usually called a lie of omission.


Yep, but it's notoriously difficult to prosecute.
