And then as a follow-up question, how many civilians next door to a Hezbollah launch site get blown up by poorly manufactured rockets?

35-ish years ago there was a pitch for cheap, high velocity, spin-stabilized rockets that were deployed in dense pods on the A-10. The rocket's seeker could divert some small amount of thrust at an angle for guidance, but otherwise th

There are other mitigations though: You can pass expected owner accountId on S3 operations and you can create SCPs that restrict the ability of roles to write to buckets outside the account. Unless you have an account that does many cross

Having worked in this space for years, it's not nearly as bad as you think. IaC tools can all look up the accountId/region for the current execution context and you can use SSM Parameters to give you a helpful alias in your code.

Practically speaking, unless you only own a single mechanical watch you really only care about the per day loss.

My employer uses ZFS under AndrewFS (aka AFS) and I would bet dollars to donuts that the OS is Solaris.

To be fair, this also applies to Nvidia and the Jetson line of products.

"Papers, please" is not just ID, but also authorization to travel internally. The idea that asking for ID* is anywhere equivalent is asinine. *Reminder that folks visiting the US on a visa are legally required by the terms of sai

If you want to try both "Team Red" and "Team Green" stuff without having 2 hosts to manage, the x4 interface is a reasonable tradeoff.

Excited to see this. Have some upcoming work projects that involve Parquet and Java. Fingers crossed I can get approval to use Java 21.

Probably something like NVLink Fusion. AWS has been doing deals with suppliers for which the smallest unit of deployable compute is a 44U rack (e.g. Oracle), so this is more of the same. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/da

I think the difference is that these are intended for automotive use and have a much longer range than the ones in your Roomba.

My take is it's the inference efficiency. It's one thing to have a huge GPU cluster for training, but come inference time you don't need nearly so much. Having the TPU (and models purpose built for TPU) allows for best cost

There are huge advantages to co-location within the same time zone (plus or minus 2 hours). India is practically half a day away from the US, meaning you only get overlap for an hour or two at the end of their working day.

Back when I had a Prius, I made a conscious effort to avoid using the brake pedal during the highway portion of my commute. It made a small difference to fuel economy, but treating it as a game reduced the frustration with stop&go traf

I can understand concerns about moving thousands of acre-feet of water into the desert for cooling, or pumping your aquifer dry for the same thing. But moving water from the Great Lakes a few miles inland? How much water evaporates out of
