Our CEO did, yes. Again, just ask for a quote, and get quotes from other providers. It's literally just an email (or phone call).

No, it's your people suck at negotiating. Again, we got quotes from Fastly, Akamai, and AWS. Our commit is/was $1500/month (we're on fastly now). Fastly gave us like 6 month free to switch, both bandwidth and requests.

On AWS you have to call and ask them. We got quotes from AWS, Fastly, and Akamai. All of them are substantially cheaper than the public rates.

That's why it was classified. Belief is irrelevant. You can lookup keyhole imagery from the old days. Keyhole was the original codename for them.

$1500/mo commit got our bandwidth down to < $.001/GB in AWS via CloudFront.

by mannyv 3y ago
Cloud bandwidth is cheap if you commit to spending a certain amount per month. Our bandwidth is less than .001/GB with like a $1500 monthly commitment in AWS. Fastly was even cheaper (which is why we're using fastly). Call you AM

In the 90s it was said they could read a license plate. It's probably better by now.

Funny, most people in the West seem unaware of the numerous Islamic attacks and messianic dreams of Islam. The ottoman empire was also a Muslim empire...again something people seem to forget about. And don't get me started on the Musli

I always thought this model was pretty worthless. I remember when they tried to apply it to the internet. It didn't quite fit, but they needed a model because intellectuals.

Pihole to 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9. I'm in the process of taking control of my network again, after having a more laissez-faire attitude towards network access. I'll probably install something like opensense on top of my edgerouter.

Floats are bigger, and math with them is more difficult. But really, I wondered why the cpu-bound LLMs do quantization, which from what I understand is the process of reducing the precision of the weights to use less memory. Does the lack o

You don't need a solution when you point out a problem. I've found this attitude in a lot of people. I think it's designed to shut down ideas that they don't like. At least that tends to happen. Describing a problem buil

Now I understand why ML uses floats for precision. It wasn't a choice, it was because graphics code uses them. Another piece in the "why is ML so inefficient" puzzle! I wonder what that memory copying overhead is IRL. If it&#

Dollarization doesn't seem to be any worse or better than keeping control of your own currency. There are issues, but they're probably outweighed by the benefits of not having your currency under political control. In general, tho

Totally untrue...but adding hints makes your queries dependent on current performance. Assuming you're a good DBA, you can be better than the optimizer because you understand the whole system. Even databases are general-purpose machine

Assessment is the bugbear of any property tax system. The assessors are employed by the entity that will be harmed if the assessments go down, so they're obviously invented to keep assessments high. That said, it's good that Detro

You are not 50,000 people spread across the state. Sometimes installers fuck up. But Comcast (and every cable company) endeavors to not brick all of their customers in a region.

Power companies on the West Coast might be a great market for this. The downside is that the plane might have to operate in poor weather. Not sure if imaging can make it through the clouds etc. This might also be great for coastal/fish

Apple most likely has a pre-OS firmware that pings a local update server and downloads/flashes the OS when an image is available. That way they don't have a ton of iPhones hanging out on the line waiting for GM. I'm not sure

We use prisma's db push to change schemas. Anything higher level we do with our own patch functions. I think this is how it works in ruby too, or how one place or another did it. The db push deals with constraints, indexes, types, etc.

You can also use flexify.io, which isn't free but is much cheaper than AWS' egress fees.

One of the reasons this is so hard BTW is that the plant has to also support all that legacy equipment that's still connected and running. There are people with cable that haven't upgraded their box for 50 years and never will. Yo

The reason cable is asymmetrical is because cable plants weren't designed for two-way communication. Cable originally was a one way broadcast system with a tiny upstream path they eventually leveraged for Video-On-Demand/Pay-per-v

Prisma is great for schema management, but it's migration stuff broke for us and their updateMany implementation is just plain dumb. We just use db push because prisma migrate fucked up in some unknown way that is impossible to recover

The only reason GraphQL is "better" is it forces documentation. The fact is, you still need those endpoints, it's just your developers aren't afraid to change the GraphQL endpoints because they're documented. Someti

It is just you! Seriously, the reason you use lambdas is that they're small self-contained chunks of functionality that you need to scale out. Let's take an easy example: you want to ingest tracking metrics. You can write this as

If you actually have a consistent/constant load then you don't need to pay for Provisioned Concurrency to prevent cold starts since you technically will have the equivalent with your actual usage. Also, if you're using Lambda

It depends on how important it is to you. You can throw a bunch of boxes in a closet and it'll work. A surprisingly large amount of the early Internet was "a spare box under my desk." The problems start when they become part
