K8s really isn't about piling up abstractions. The orchestrator sits beside containers (which can be run on bare metal, btw) and handles tasks which already need to be done. Orchestration of any system is always necessary. You can do

I think you need a level of stability which generally doesn't exist in today's working environment to be able to pick an employer based on that metric.

Except that the inscentives are totally different from an end user perspective. Apple is inscentivised to make the phone more attractive to the person using it, because they're the ones paying. With Google search, it's the adverti

Unfortunately, you lose a significant amount of functionality by degoogling. Any app which relies on Google services, which is a large number, will be broken.

It certainly can be, but it's not guaranteed. Clean room design is one way to avoid a legally ambiguous situation. It's not a hard requirement to avoid infringement. For example, the US Supreme Court ruled that Google's use o

You're right. I'm definitely taking a very US-centric view here; it's the only copyright system I'm familiar with. I'm really curious how jurisdictions with no concept of fair use or fair dealing work. That seems li

The legality of their behavior is not currently well defined, because it's unprecedented. Fair use permits transformative works. It has yet to be decided whether LLMs and their output qualify as transformative, or even if the training

1) If your blog posts are private, why are they on publicly accessible websites? Why not put it behind a paywall of some sort? 2) How many novels have bibliographies? How many musicians cite their influences? Citing sources is all well and

LLMs don’t memorize everything they’re trained on verbatim, either. It’s all vectors behind the scenes, which is relatable to how the human brain works. It’s all just strong or weak connections in the brain. The output is what matters. If w

There’s a lot more cost involved in running a library than buying books. Staff and building upkeep are big expenses. That said, you want to have some newer books coming in, too, if you want to keep kids interested.

When I was 9, the librarian was the scary lady in the corner that yelled at me if I so much as coughed.

This was exactly my experience. It’s incredibly frustrating to search documentation only to be stuck with examples that are related, but don’t fit one’s exact situation, and don’t explain the underlying behavior.

I read the original comment as recommending against putting _anything_ in $HOME. Your solution is far more palatable.

by bshacklett 2y ago
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. $HOME is the one directory which belongs to the user. In some cases, it might even be encrypted with a user-owned key. I can’t imagine being comfortable putting my files anywhere _outside_ of the home

The little toe’s most important function is to remind its owner that even the most advanced being on earth can be thwarted by an inanimate object, such as the leg of a coffee table.

This take is terrifying to me. Obviously we all have things that we don’t want to be exposed to, and probably many things that we don’t feel anyone should be exposed to, but who gets to make the decision of what is acceptable and what isn’t

Most of them are probably bots running without the knowledge of the IP owner. There’s little benefit to sharing those IPs with anyone other than the provider who owns them.
