Perhaps one way to think of these deep learning models is to compare them with a search engine. They take a search term and return a result. Only, instead of returning a list of matches, they’re taking all those matches and combining them i

The birth of a new category - acceleration as a service. Perhaps future iterations will have usage-based billing and throttling based on an acceptable use policy.

Something smells off about this story. It’s got linked references but I can imagine this ending up being disproven as one of those fictitious Wikipedia articles.

Currently at rank #348 (page 12), seems odd given its points, freshness and number of comments. Curiously on page 12, most posts have 1 or no comments. Only one other post has more comments - "The Twitter Advertiser Exodus" [1] cl

SSO handoff as a sibling points out but also once email is known, a determination is made about trust level for the sign in attempt. Cookies, IP and other fingerprinting are used to determine whether single or double factor auth is required

In 2022, building your own user signup/sign in flows is almost as bad as rolling your own crypto. Edit: a rebuttal is mightier than a downvote.

Effort in a codebase is unevenly distributed. The 90% of the code that looks like boilerplate probably represents 20% of the effort.

I was watching something on Roku and it’s really jarring being interrupted with ads all the time after years of streaming. Ironically, most of the ads were for more Roku hardware!

One reason to use low TTL’s is for a DNS-based load balancer that is typically used for DR such as Azure Traffic Manager. That and paranoia about incorrectly updating a record causing your service to break for a period of time with nothing

I just came across this article but for a different reason - on mobile, sponsored results are interleaved with organic all the way down. Never seen this before. Much more like Facebook and naturally I loathe it.

Spoke with a customer last week who said their cost for cosmos is on the order of 10x what it would be for SQL. I’ve learned to stay away from services that are high abstractions. Huge lock in, expensive and much more risk of it being eol’d
