It turns out that anyone who wants to can just go on the Internet and spout bollocks. I like how there isn’t even a byline here, just “editorial staff.” Because who’d sign their name to this kind of tomfoolery?

We know it’s true because of how AWas PR is trying to refute it.

At some point it does come down to "we have to trust the provider isn't outright lying to us about what they're doing." That was a hard bridge for me to cross for a long time; I got there via sustained in-depth conversat

You can shock the hell out of yourself with the capacitors for the flash in a disposable camera, so the AAA battery source isn't exactly exculpatory...

I’m always amazed by how far my humor seemed to spread in those days.

That’s an awesome idea. Let me get after it.

I do want to point out that I wrote this in 2019. It was a vastly different landscape, and AWS did a terrible job of promoting the ML value proposition.

I should have been more clear. You still need to partition, but randomizing the prefixes hasn't been needed since 2018: https://web.archive.org/web/20240227073321/https://aws.amazo...

Yes. It’s under pressure that oxygen toxicity becomes an issue. It’s why you’ve gotta pay attention to your depth when diving with enriched air.

And then let their product lose the feature for multiple years rather than settling for some amount of money that was absolutely trivial to them.

$21m is apparently insufficient to hire an editor to explain what the hell that headline is trying to say.

You’re absolutely right that we don’t have a complete postmortem—and that’s exactly the problem. I’d love to have real facts from AWS about the full scope of this incident. But instead of a disclosure, we got a version quietly pulled from t

Exactly my position. I can’t realistically assess the potential scope of damage without a proper disclosure from AWS’s normally-excellent security team.

You need far more than that. Beyond the basic resource sizing / misconfiguration issues, it’s highly contextually dependent to an environment / institution. A change that’s great for one customer could be ruinous for another.

My original title did mention that this was an AWS product, but Hacker News made the editorial decision to reduce clarity.

I’ve yet to see a GenAI system that comes even slightly close. They’re dangerously inaccurate in this space.

I got to play with this for the past week, and it's surprisingly good from an angle of "does a lot of the context engineering work for you." It enforces a rigor that I don't usually bring to vibe coding...

My theory: the domains you name have ad beacons, desktop apps that are persistently running, and/or physical devices plugged into networks out there. Whereas ChatGPT is used (domainwise) overwhelmingly by humans hitting the site in the

I want to like this, but it really needs an editing pass to make it not grating to read.

I saw a lot of third party services (i.e. CloudFlare) go down, but did any non-Cloud Google properties see an impact? It’d say something that core Google products don’t or won’t take a dependency on Google Cloud…

I misread this as “algolia” and I bet I’m not the only one.
