Returning back to the pre 2017 tax cuts wouldn’t kill the American dream.

Given Yahoo's stake in Alibaba that Jerry brokered for getting out of the China market, Yahoo's valuation actually eclipsed that $35B MSFT was going to offer ($80B): https://www.forbes.com/sites/briansolomon&#

Gambling sites have solved this to a much better extent than described in this article with verified ids, fingerprint extensions running on devices and whatnot.

Why is pagerduty hard to switch off of? It has all kinds of useless and expensive bells and whistles, while the core functionality is a commodity that several companies offer. We moved vendors a few time and it wasn’t that painful.

Once you have logs, you can index them in a variety of ways to turn them into metrics, traces, etc., but having logs as the fundamental primitive is powerful.

This was an amazing read. One of my favorite memories in college was building a spreadsheet in Java (some of the guts were there) in third semester CS.

Can’t trust everything you read on ycombinator’s job board, clearly.

We’ve found things like double quotes, emoji’s and other edge cases are a struggle when trying to get data back.

Hyperbolic blog posts are so annoying. Really, if OpenTF happens, you’ll be back to square one? “ When the maintainers of OpenTF inevitably decide that they want to add enhancements that require language changes, you as the end user end up

That’s the key. Declarative converging systems so much better than imperative and all the edge case handling necessary.

Amazing that it took a few weeks to realize she could take pictures of her screen. Good old analog loophole to DLP (and copyright protection [except when it comes to duplicating dollar bills]).

Apple’s software will never support DLP and other invasive Corp spyware so I think there will always unfortunately be a need for the latter. E.g. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-05-11/the-plot-...

It’s a simple topic made much much more complex by embedding it into a scientific paper. Way more time should have been spent on examples and the prompt.

Even with large context windows, this technique is useful. I have found breaking down a problem into “map reduce” does much better than stuffing it into a huge 32k context window and asking it solve it in one shot.

Do you run into issues with parsing the prompt result? And if so, have you tried using “function” calling versus parsing the more free text output?

I'm saying that at least GCP has supported VM migration for a while and it's generally not something people are currently worried too much about these days given they have attempted to mitigate issues like you've pointed out.

It’s terrible about visualizing how its output appears on a console. Also, terrible at providing phrases that fit a pattern. “Like 143 means I love you, and give me more phrases like that”. Still surprised it’s so good at drawing (that birt

They support much much larger workspaces now, and support team to team shared channels, so the problem space is much more complex than 2015. Not saying they shouldn’t fix their reliability. Every other week it seems like they have an outage

Isn’t that exactly what they are doing? Keeping requests within an AZ and instead of using DNS at the first hop into AZ, they use envoy to control traffic shaping and making that initial decision if traffic needs to be routed away.

If there’s uncorrelated load you can also run on your hosts, then you can share their spare capacity, with the hope they don’t spike at same time. AWS does that with their lambda arch to reduce waste.

66% isn’t low utilization. You’re always going to have micro spikes, and you never want to clip, so keeping some headroom around feels smart. Unless you co-mingle online and offline (batch) traffic on same hosts, flat response times and hig
