Our company has two major locations, with redundant datacenters at each site. The colleagues I work with the most are at the other site, so going into the office does me no good. Now TPTB might decide to shut down the other datacenter (BC&#

So much of the apologia for SBF is disgusting. I don't need to have any humility, because I don't steal from people. I don't throw colleagues and lovers under the bus when I get caught stealing. I have humility and don't

Chrome has been available for a long time on iOS, albeit with the Safari rendering engine. This is like complaining that the food in a hotel minibar is expensive. You want to approach the smartphone as a general purpose computer, but that&#

Apple's services revenue includes an annual lump sum payment from Google in the neighborhood of $18B per year. In 2023, that was roughly 22% of the revenue, and probably a majority of the profit.

The quality of a blu-ray disc is usually a magnitude better than the best streaming service. And a 4K blu-ray is years ahead of what streaming platforms even dream of.

40 years ago I could work a summer job at minimum wage and earn enough to pay a full year's tuition at UCSD. Doing the same thing in 2023 paid for less than 1/3 of the tuition.

I don't know the gear JetSplash uses, but the link below looks roughly the same as what I've seen them use. They claim 400-800 car per day. I've seen other sites state up to 120 cars per hour. Assuming 750/day @ $20 wash

Considering how poor the DoD response outlined in this article has been, they may have awareness, but that doesn't mean they're appropriately addressing the risk.

Well, considering FPV drones in Ukraine are destroying aircraft, tanks, IFVs etc, that could be an issue. Langley houses F-22s that are basically priceless.

Normally radars are configured to detect aircraft faster than a small drone. They just filter that out as noise. Now the military could obviously afford multiple radars to fill this gap, but they haven't focused enough attention on thi

It takes roughly five minutes depending on how long the queue is, so when I'm out running errands I'll stop in. Keeps the road crud (and most importantly, salt) off the car so it lasts longer.

If any of the fancy new car washes in my town were only clearing $1k/day, they'd be folding shop pretty quickly. I don't know where you live, but the wash by me (JetSplash) does between 500-1000 cars a day at over $20 a pop.

The M1 MBA being sold by Best Buy and Walmart are perfectly fine for 99% of the computing world. Maybe not for gamers (most laptops suck for this), or for someone needing to crunch large datasets, but when this first came out, tons of devel

Not really sure they were much cheaper in the 90s. My first PC was a Dell P90 in 1994, IIRC it cost about $2500. There was kind of a mantra at the time that no matter the improvements, you'd always spend about $2500. And adjusted for i

Sorry, I stopped being a "citations needed" responder a while ago. You can google for it pretty easily. TLDR, Lewis has been very friendly with everyone he writes about. Whether it's SBF or Tuohys from The Blind Side, he&#x27

It wrote a template that passed a playbook linter. Whether any of the tasks were actually correct is highly questionable. I caught the errors because I have lots of experience. Maybe we need an AI to double check the work of the first AI? &

AI won't be as impactful in generating good results (though it may result in middle management firing devs/admins since they think they're easily replaceable). As an example, I asked claude.ai to generate an ansible playbook
