It can be good for connecting AWS stuff to AWS stuff. "On s3 update, sync change to dynamo" or something. But even then, now you've got a separate coding, testing, deployment, monitoring, alerting, debugging pipeline from you

Last I heard (~5 years ago), lambda@edge doesn't actually run on edge POPs anyway; they're just hooks that you can put in your edge configs that execute logic in the nearest region before/after running your edge config. But i

Wow that's a great analysis! Yeah I essentially agree. I'm sure there are still plenty of good cases for C, depending on project size, experience of the engineers, integration with existing libraries, target platform, etc. But it

And yes, hot dark matter has largely been ruled out, but there are still extensions into warm dark matter and ultralight dark matter that seem more manufactured but are still plausible. The observations in this paper creates some additional

Correct. It's orthogonal in an ideal world, but in a real world where there's tech debt and competing priorities, it can very much come into play.

Basically, the event horizon is the event horizon is the event horizon. If two non-steady-state matter/anti black holes merge (like before everything has hit the singularities), it will cause explosions inside the BH, but energy is

It sounds like the core doesn't even allocate, and presumably the extended library allocates in limited places using safe patterns. So there wouldn't be much benefit from Rust anyway, I'd think. Had SQLite ever had a memory l

Or, so it's being written mostly by AI.

Did I miss something? This was not surprising. I figured all this would have been possible (and commonplace) decades ago. I was expecting this to be about government eyes and ears in my toilet or something.

I'd say the real advantage is that if you need to change it you don't have to deploy your monolith. Of course, the relative benefit of that is situationally dependent, but I was recently burned by a team that built a new replicati

Though even the solution to 1 doesn't solve "ACLs", which distribution does. If you want to ensure your module is only called by an approved list of upstream modules, public / private isn't granular enough. (You ca

It challenges warm dark matter and ultralight dark matter theories because they'd be less likely to clump into something so small. Similarly MOND would have trouble explaining a completely isolated chunk of it at this size (any baryoni

And that a BH made from matter and one made from antimatter are mathematically identical, and merging them would not cause any explosion.

AI to the edge meant they had to port CUDA to a JS framework.

Curious, do your 5 why's actually look like this, kind of stream-of-consciousness? Because I love this! Our org's 5 why's are always a linear 5 steps back that end at THE ROOT CAUSE. And those are the good ones. Others are ju

I think that's a valid question, and has plenty of ways you could go. Is the process set up so that it's literally "throw it over the wall and you're done unless the test team contacts you"? Then arguably not. You d

I worry a lot more about the surveillance side than the misinformation side. The odd thing is, the surveillance side has been building for 20+ years, old-school en-masse data collection and ML inferencing, and most (myself included) just go

Cash? I know it's not a "project"; kind of the opposite really, but I do sometimes miss the days when buying stuff meant physically parting from something you're carrying with you.

Blackberry. Back in the Blackberry days I never pined for anything resembling a smartphone. Other than built-in GPS, I'm not sure my life is improved or worsened by having a computer on my person 24/7. That wasn't the case pr

Java never had a real display API. I guess there was swing, but that was very ugly and stuck out like a sore thumb on a web page (or desktop for that matter). JavaFX eventually became a thing, and was probably better, but for whatever reaso

I came to say Opa too. I liked the language but the meteor-like framework it was bundled with, while nice for prototyping, was a pain to work around when it didn't do what you needed. That said, frameworks were all the buzz back in the

Funny, I just encountered a similar issue asking chatgpt to ocr something. It started off pretty good but slowly started embellishing or summarizing on its own, eventually going completely off the rails into a King Arthur story.

Whoever is paying for it? If you've got personal stuff you'd keep it in your own account (or maintain it independently), separate from your work account.

That's still client side though. Seems like if they made it server-side it'd require fewer round trips.

I'm surprised Anthropic doesn't offer something like this server-side, with an API to control it. Seems like it'd be a lot more efficient than having client manually reworking the context and uploading the whole thing.
