As a former employee at Micron, to hell with them. They had decades to build out fabs and didn't. Now we have a supply problem and they drag their feet and cut off consumer RAM entirely by closing Crucial. Apple, who serves consumers,

Airlines treat people like cattle then wonder why people behave like animals. I just did a cross country trip, about 4 hours per hop. I was so sore after that I've basically sworn off traveling that way ever again. You can tell they ke

Seems driven primarily by wanting a BSD licensed option. The OpenBSD folks are very talented but are also very ideologically driven. I'm not sure this will get a lot of attention but it is nice seeing another option.

Recession isn't the driving factor. Many companies will actually increase staffing during recession to "grow" out of it. My former company used to go on merger and acquisition sprees during deep recessions so they would be we

This isn't true. You usually do layoffs when you anticipate financial won't be good in coming quarters. If you wait until they aren't good then you're too late and the damage is done. This is why layoffs happen so freque

I don't disagree but one difference I see is Enterprises pushing hard to use AI where none of them really bothered with Crypto. I see momentum with AI that I haven't seen since the push to Cloud infrastructure 15 or so years ago.

A lot of times its for audit purposes. You have to show a mature documented program etc. Other times it's simply for reference purposes. So if you're talking about current enterprise architecture, the AI itself needs something to

by datakan 3mo ago
You make a good point but it's also subjective. The documentation we need is all technical in nature so we aren't looking for Shakespeare or Tolkien here. We just need it to be accurate and usable, which it is.

You're not wrong, but we've had a huge shake up internally and all of the people that used to complain about not having it are now in a position to create it and approve it. They just don't care anymore because now its just A

> Here's the problem I have. No doubt an LLM made it faster to write those docs, but did you fully spot check it for accuracy? Yes. That was just the writing portion, there is a whole team that works on publishing and proof reading

The uncanny valley is happening with enterprise work. My boss is in love with Copilot writing documentation that we've sorely needed for many years. He and I can bang out tons of it in minutes that would have taken months before. We do

> There were no plans to build data centers in their small town and no reason to consider it at all You have to be fair on this though. The time to ban something is before they start talking about doing it, not after. Being ahead of the

I can pull up all my passkeys in 1Password or Bitwarden without issue.

by datakan 3mo ago
Passkeys are just SSH keys in how they work. We've been doing this since the 90's. The only people that use SSH keys are the Linux savvy users and those who are forced to via an enterprise solution for vaulting. The average person

Are the Chinese models actually catching up or are they just distilling the frontiers? If it's all just distilling then they'll always be behind.

They should be, I see them as the prime targets for AI. Most of what they do is bullshit, they're often massively over paid, and AI will produce answers 100 times faster than they will.

I'll just cite my 30 years in IT/InfoSec. Believe it or not, I really don't give a damn. It's common knowledge int he field regardless of what your experience is.

Punishable by fine just means it's legal for a cost. If the fine is less than the profit then they'll pay the fine every time.

They'll just spin some divisions off and/or sell the DC's they have to Anthropic or others at a profit. They could also just rent compute out at insane margins. They aren't going anywhere.

This reads like a theatre announcement for a play. Whole sections on how they dressed. Are they planning a new "Pirates of Silicon Valley" like movie of this or what? How much of the AI bubble is performative?

The Steam client for starters but pretty much every game they initially released since 1997 was extremely buggy. They also struggle very hard to even release much anymore. I'll give them kudos on supporting OSS and their Proton develop
