If you’re comfortable with k8s there is no cheaper deal in town than Rackspace Spot.

considering how much worse this looks than just launching it and fixing it after while claiming it’s all fine and good, kinda makes you wonder just how bad it really was.

I get that you meant “physical” but this blur between “advertising isn’t a useful thing for an economy to focus on” and “services are not real” is a bit of a jump! Cloud services don’t just exist on their own accord. Datacenters are physica

Sorry, are you suggesting AWS Services "aren't real things"? If I pay for a database server in Virginia, how is that not real ?

Social media is both a tool and entertainment. It's not entertainment that's wrecking kids. It's being in a global and immutable social circle. In the 90s, if you were a nerd in high-school, you get a chance to re-invent your

Amazon doesn’t make anything anyone wants to buy? Not to be snarky, but if AWS counts as “nothing” I’d sure like a slice of nothing please.

It gets worse if you imagine a future AGI which just tells us new novel implementations of previously unknown physics but it either isn’t willing or can’t explain the rationale.

Times up. LLMs are uniquely suited to convert data requests to SQL at compile-time. All ORMs will converge on this feature “scan your table layout and generate smarter queries with Knexjs Pro+” - one can see it coming. My mother raised me a

Sure - but as the article points out there are safety and efficiency wins by removing the rear window. Anyways if it’s a terrible decision I’m sure the reviews will point that out. My point was just that the Luddite “computers are bad” argu

Recessed with hydrophobic cover, heater element, mechanical redundancy (or better, zero moving parts), electronic redundancy, and software testing. Solved! These are all entire industries that already power society-vital functions. Embrace

At first this seemed ludicrous, but there is some rationality in charging net zero customers right? To put it another way: assuming the customer is only using the grid as an emergency backup and as a discharging service - isn’t that still

I love California for so many reasons, but charging me more for using less is not one of them. If we can’t cut costs by running on pure renewables because we need to “make up for lost profits”, this whole green plan will never work. Will we

Creating a simple SaaS and library for doing blocking scheduling. “Find me the next open hour for Y” - sort of like calendly but for developers with a really easy/neat callback mechanism. I’m building it because I’m tired of being onca

It’s funny because in Stripe Sessions they seems quite careful to say “machine learning” and not “AI” which I found quite refreshing. It was “ML to help improved results of …” and not “AI will do magic!”, but of course, that doesn’t stop th

The judge’s “this simply can’t be the law” is pretty perfect here. Plenty of founders spend 18 months eating prison rations and never leaving a small confined area and all they get are lousy T shirts and a decent resume piece. It can’t be t

“The Heart is a Lonely Hunter” is among my all time favorite works. It’s not as simple as stories about lonely people or marginalized people. She writes stories about people with invisible lives. Especially if you’re familiar with the achin

This is “decentralized Venmo”. Yes, the “killer app” of internet currency is going to be money transfers. That is not surprising, non-trivial, and quite valuable.

If it’s going to take general artificial intelligent to get a voice assistant that can remember not one, but two entirely separate cooking timers, then so be it. Imagine the GPUs required! I’m still baffled at Siri and Google assistant. Vir

That you assume anyone who is even slightly hesitant to agree with you is a bad person is exactly the reason political statements, as good-intentioned as they may be, put people off. I don’t need an extra risk when choosing a tool. A divisi

It is absolutely not the most basic assumption based into economic models. Neither you nor I can find one single person who believes that. It is the weakest possible form of an argument you are intentionally misconstruing. This is the s

Okay, then find me the economist who believes in "literally infinite" growth. If you have a hard time finding _one person_ who is both a published economist and has no grasp of the basic laws of thermodynamics, then that view is p

A casual glance at nuclear physics points to a world where we’re nowhere near our energy production capabilities. Automation sings along. And that argument would be salient if it was required - “economists say infinite growth is possible” i

Eh. Let the market decide. Yes Tesla overdid the touch controls - but they were also the first company to put a touch screen that isn’t awful into a car. Yes, removing the stalks a going too far imo, but I can’t imagine how narrow my awaren

Hrm, I believe Tesla's warranty is "8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period.", so your friend should look into getting a new Tesla! Also, and I&

The only people really angry about Rogan that I’ve met in real life either think he’s a complete idiot or purposely spreading misinformation, which always cracks me up, because theyre just as purposely spreading their half-informed ideas.

It’s sort of odd to open with “I felt sexualized in 5th grade”, which is easily understood as too young to understand, but then talk about high schools. I’m not defending any dress code policy, but I do think you’re fooling yourself if you

I'm loath to be a Musk-ite, but I'd be a bit peeved if I was him and the article opens with 'Wealthy tech entrepreneurs including Elon Musk SAID they were going to be transparent but now aren't' and then took 8 para
