I keep thinking the exact same thing every time I'm asked to peer review a paper.

Every project I've ever worked on - sans two at IBM post Red Hat acquisition - had legacy style Javaboxes at the customer's DC or was still rocking mainframe DB2 stuff. I'm seeing bare-metal Kubernetes / OpenShift gaining a stronger foothold though. Rarely, some specific workloads did run on Azure - never anything critical though.

For context, I do mainly development work for EU enterprises and the public sector.

I remember when sideloading referred to running `adb sideload` for installing applications from a remote host. The Android modding community has been scattered to the winds of time, it seems.

For what it's worth, please do not go for a dip in the Danube river proper here in Vienna, the currents are too dangerous for bathing and there is no official bathing spot anywhere for this reason. Instead, visit our other waters such as the lakes of the Old Danube or the high-water protection side-arm New Danube.

Yes, good clarification, I personally spend my times at Grillplatz 11 on the Neue Donau side of Donau Insel (Danube Island) .. it has been a wonderful summer and the water is delightful. Very safe and rewarding swim, every time.

That could have been produced after the fact, and even if i.e. a scanned version were provided with an eIDAS-compliant qualified electronic timestamp, it can still be argued that the student just wrote LLM output down.

It could, but it wouldn't, LLM cheats are lazy, and that sounds too much like work.

It's less work than doing it over again for sure. People lazy enough to be efficient in the first place will typically do some work to avoid even more work.

I never knew that this is not illegal everywhere. In Austria, this has been illegal for as long as I can think.

In my school curriculum here in Vienna, this was very specifically taught in history class.

That's really awesome! Did they have you try and typeset something by hand? I feel like for us it presented as some magical thing that made producing books trivially easy, whereas in reality typesetting a page was still very labor intensive and not that fast!

We learned about how the Gutenberg Press physically worked, how it was based on wine presses and how difficult it supposedly was to produce a single metal letter. Also, how it was a PITA to re-arrange them to print something else, alas it was mostly used to print the Bible.

The printer setup is where all the cost is, the printing itself is practically free.

I think even the printing was still not _that_ fast. You needed to physically press down each page. Make sure the ink was right, replace the paper, make sure not to smudge anything, etc.

I'd be surprised if they could average more than 2 pages / minute? Which for 1000 pages is still a full days work.

Compare 30 seconds to print a sheet to the cost of pulling hundreds of letters out of bins, tossing worn ones out, casting new replacements, lining them up, inserting spaces, and proofreading. I'd probably want to print 1000 sheets before setting up another page.

I was involved a bit in printing manuals in the 1980s. The cost of printing 100 copies vs 1000 copies was pretty much the same. The delta is the cost of the paper.

Another way to phrase the question: how many copies on a Gutenberg before you're even in time with typesetting?

Random online estimates suggest 4 hours to typeset a page and 200 pages an hour. So 800 copies.

I think this makes my point that on a Gutenberg press printing the already typeset page still wasn't that fast.

300:1, as I wrote earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49253673

And inevitably, efforts were made to improve the efficiency of the printer.

I don't see how the reduction in price from a manuscript to a gutenberg pressed book is the same as the figure I was calculating?

Anyway, feels like this is no longer a productive discussion.

Exoptable Money.

What a load of bullshit. Don't reduce human willpower and autonomy down to "hurr, durr, muh gut microbiome made me consume the slop". Of course you can refuse to give in to cravings.
