Simply put no, 50MW is not the typical hyperscaler cloud size. It's not even the typical single datacenter size. A single AI rack consumes 60kW, and there is apparently a single DC that alone consumes 650MW. When Microsoft puts in a DC

Tbc apps can be owned by orgs today, but the process is annoying - devs create the app and then transfer it to the org, and then are made managers of the app. Really high overhead. It's part of the push we've been making over the

The owner is a Google employee, but for the sake of safety it should be owned by a real Google org. I've just asked them to migrate it to their OSS org. Unfortunately the app creation flow on GitHub makes it impossible (for now) for a

"Amazon announced it" in some back alley press report and certainly not in a proactive outreach way to tell these folks they were listing their products. At the very least there's a trademark issue here because these sellers

Yes, outlook supports both. At Microsoft though we only ever used "start five late".

I've always wondered at the company cultures between Google and Microsoft - Gcal supports ending meetings five minutes early while Outlook supports starting five minutes late. At Microsoft it was obvious how five minutes late was optim

I was unsure of the licensing, so happy to take it down if it's not open - but I forked this to test some agent features on GitHub mobile and was happy with it. https://hpsin.github.io/SphericalSnake/ and the PR I

You've got an extra actor in the mix that makes for a different argument and actually supports the idea that it's racist, I think. Namely - I think most agree that it's racist to mindlessly assume race and poverty are correla

Expanding the timeline a bit, CRISPR was known as a possible gene targeting/editing tool by 2008 at least - I distinctly recall learning about it then in a guest lecture.

Are you saying those are additional possible meanings of Pennsyltucky, or that you've heard people use it to mean all of those? I have only ever heard it used to mean the rural areas between the two cities, in keeping with the saying &

Yep, I misunderstood that key point here but can't edit anymore.

Ahh that's a really good call out, thank you. Basically negates most of what I wrote.

They're not even serving the file. That cost is born by the external provider. The four dollars is for providing the platform that the user used to navigate to the link and download the zip file. That's a fun bit of argument from

The apparent information gathering and brutal review process is unbelievable here. If I'm understanding this correctly, the requirement is that eg Epic Game Store must register and upload every single APK for every app they offer, and

Oh, fully agreed. Orbital datacenters don't solve many to any engineering problems either, so I figure its adherents are as much into legal problem solving as they are engineering problem solving.

by hirsin 10mo ago
At this point I'm going to assume that anyone pushing datacenters in space wants to host child pornography. That's the only realistic workload that ticks all the boxes for orbital datacenters.

Strongly agreed.

Every Microsoft employee is given a license as part of working there, at least if you're in the eng orgs. I've had mine for over a decade.

Authz overhead for graphql is definitely a problem. At GitHub we're adding github app support to the enterprise account APIs, meaning introducing granular permissions for each graphql resource type. Because of the graph aspect, queries

The author chose a library that didn't support TLS, written by a company that isn't Microsoft. Terrible devex indeed but hard to see why that's the fault of the platform that required TLS.

Only one of those things is a state enforced requirement (the deed) and everything else are system requirements that do not get solved with bitcoin. What mortgage company is going to loan you a million dollars ("in btc" whatever)

What made you feel like a criminal? Buying a home is fairly straightforward and has almost no state verification of any piece of it, at least in the US. Was it something the state enforced, or something being done by the agents of the trans

Yep, I saw the cat and mouse ending at ever increasingly invasive verifications involving more parties, that could ultimately still be worked around by a state actor. We already get asked for "block access from these country ip ranges

This was largely the reason I rejected "real name verification" ideas at GitHub after the xz attack. (Especially if they are state sponsored) it's not that hard for a dedicated actor (which xz certainly was) to get a quality

For better or worse, Accelerando comes to mind _a lot_ when trying to figure out how agent platforms should work. Hopefully for better.

Yes, the article should really be titled "Is Windows just tech debt to Microsoft?" and could have been published five or six years ago.

Fedcm offers some hope here, where the browser gets some capability to announce the federation domains to the RP. It's not straightforward though, of course. In this case though it's inverted - you are providing the url of the MC

This is because the MCP folks focus almost entirely on the client developer experience at the expense of implementability CIMD is a bit better and will supplant DCR, but overall there's yet to be a good flow here that supports managem
