Flagship server CPUs from AMD and Intel are quite expensive: the 192-core EPYC 9965 costs $14,813, and the 128-core Xeon 6980P is priced at $12,460 (after Intel had already slashed its price from $17,800 in early January) when purchased in 1000-unit quantities by its direct customers.

However, ShopBLT is selling both processors with 35% and 53% discounts for $9,713 and $5,836, respectively.

ShopBLT is not alone, as Newegg offers Intel's Xeon 6980P for $6,190, a 50% reduction from Intel's recommended customer pricing (RCP).

Intel's Xeon 6 6900P-series CPUs are sold at even steeper discounts from their RCPs. The flagship 128-core Xeon 6980P is available for $5,166 (53% lower than RCP), the 96-core Xeon 6972P is priced at $4,789 (53% lower than RCP), whereas the Xeon 6960P can be purchased for $4,511 (53% off from the RCP). The previous-generation flagship — the 64-core Xeon 8592+ — is priced at 'affordable' $2,280, which is five times less than its list price.

Well, I only looked into the article to check out the prices, and I am stunned to find out that we're talking five-figure recommended CPU prices

'Tis a very good rope

I'm not entirely sold on the idea, because the article shows no example of defining and using special error codes. It leaves an impression that if anything you want to recover from is IO and HTTP (no HTTP/2, too) then it's all good.

Still it looks interesting and I will take a deeper look into it later

On the other hand, this creates issues with trying to award sentience to autocorrection tools

We may be very far from sentient AI, but accepting that it is sentient may be even harder than achieving it, imo

Most likely, they pay something like $5/lb of lost luggage, which is not nearly enough

I was lucky to eventually get the lost bags instead of a useless payment when my bags were lost

Food assholes is a very peculiar dish, must be something like doughnuts

Following a 2018 corporate realignment that reduced his responsibilities and system access, Lu began sabotaging his employer’s systems

You may be right overall, but in this case it looks more like a revenge from an individual that was screwed by the company

Basically, this. One more reason to hide away from anyone watching you input the code

They saw him, but arguing that otherwise they would have gotten a warrant to compel him, so it's legit

Oh, it's this ‘let's call absolutely different things or even polar opposites the same name’ trope again, I hate it. Thanks for digging it up and informing us

Dude is clearly speedrunning something
