I don't agree that what we're doing stops at enabling other teams to build. That's part of the role but reducing it to that siloes infrastructure away from other domains and adds unnecessary friction. You shouldn't have

I'm feeling it pretty hard right now. I've been looking around for a new job these last few weeks and I'm having a hard time conveying that while being an intermediate "Site Reliability Engineer" and knowing how to

Much like iancmceachern, my experience is the opposite of yours. The office forces me into human interactions I wouldn't have chosen of my own free will, and WFH significantly increases the time I spend on relationships that matter, th

"ERP Enlightenment" conjures images of corporate millenarianism and beige-toned transcendence, as if the arbiter of judgement were arcane B2B systems, the truth of which is held by a select few consultant-priests.

There are a bunch of companies doing that. Cerebras, Tenstorrent, Nuvia and so on. Hyperscalers like Google and Amazon also try to get on the game while the field is pretty new. But as as far as general purpose AI acceleration goes Nvidia h

On the subject, there's an excellent Youtube channel ran by a medievalist named Dr. Allan Barton dedicated to the very specific subject of aristocratic (in particular royal and British) funeral practices. https://www.youtube

It's not as butchered as you think. Some of it is simply older (Norman-)French pronunciation fossilized in English. It's similar to how you can find Middle Chinese across Korean, Vietnamese and Japanese or Proto-Germanic in Finnis

I stopped pirating for a decade and started again when platforms became so fragmented and inconvenient that torrenting is the more convenient option again. On the other hand I buy a lot of records, both old and new, so I'm objectivel

I clearly remember AI becoming a big tech subject in the late 2000s/early 2010s following the release of CUDA on consumer hardware, around the same time as Bitcoin and much before GPU-mining was a thing.

Rolex don't do artificial scarcity and hype campaigns around limited runs like other brands have taken to do. They're at max capacity and if you want to buy one you've just got to get on the list, no short cuts.

You'd get into latency and consistency issues. It seems a poor choice if your main design constraint is real-time or near real-time interactive content delivery.
