Containers is often the reason. You start a container and you are immediately pulling in a quarter to half a gig or more (often the latter).

Does the IIHS have a an Indiana Jones style warehouse where they keep 30 year old forgettable vehicles like the Blazer in storage for just this special occasion?

“Doctor killer” for a reason. It can be monotonous and degrading, but commercial air is the safe way to travel.

There needs to be a distinction - because people are making an honest conflation - between distributed computing and cloud computing. The list in the article applies to both, but the limits and performance variability can apply quicker - a

But it’s relevant whether we like it or not. This will affect the price of goods, salaries of workers, everything.

What, do people not remember Katrina? That was the sign to move, and it was 20 years ago.

Yeah it’s a sad state. But it’s also not worth putting oneself in harm’s way. Report it to the state authorities (not all of them are crooked). Or try another jurisdiction, like the local police.

This was incredibly dangerous of the victim. In another version of events, the officer could have shot him and plausibly (unfortunately) claimed the victim had a vendetta against the cop for arresting him.

IAM isn’t even really the most painful dependency. Route53 is. The control plane only runs out of use1. Better make sure the only DNS operations you run during an outage are data plane queries and health check failovers.

Are you saying F/G AND any line serving less affluent areas? Because if not, the G (save for maybe 2-3 stops in Bed-Stuy) is all affluent neighborhoods.

Why is this getting downvoted? How is this any less ridiculous sounding than the multitude of other, ever-shifting reasons Trump gave for starting the war.

IPs are notoriously unreliable for identity pinning, particularly in this age of CGNAT. If they can’t or don’t want cc numbers (makes sense considering how painful PCI guidelines are anyway) does that mean they need to rely on more tools fr

I always wondered about this. Do companies tie the credit card to an identity to block or do they just block the cc number? If the latter, seems like a small friction point for a consumer. Given how often cc numbers change and how many an (

Declaring someone an enemy does not automatically lead to war. America considered the USSR an enemy of democracy for 50 years. They never went directly to blows.

For production Postgres, i would assume it’s close to almost no effect? If someone is running postgres in a serious backend environment, i doubt they are using Ubuntu or even touching 7.x for months (or years). It’ll be some flavor of Debia

Yes, sorry. I meant it more as a descriptor of how many tokens it consumes. You are still stuck burning money.

Tool calls (particularly fetching for context) eats the context window heavily. I explicitly send MCP calls to sub agents because they are so “wordy”.

No flag is rare because that immediately opens them to anti-piracy. But coming back to my original point: it isn’t America’s determination that a registration is fraudulent. It is the flag state’s.

In the past it had less to do with seizing the vessels and more to do with keeping financial flows between organizations offering shipping services and oil hidden from the banking system. America could have easily seized any ship they wante

Oh this is a good article. Thanks for that. Towards the bottom they list some satellite imagery and a statement indicating they are possibly using the taxiways as parking. Still leaves open the question of who might have been injured and wh

I’m not an AF vet so I don’t have an idea, but what’s the over-under that the US injuries were the crew trying to get the plane ready to fly after the alert came in? I think the number of injuries lines up closely with expected crew complim

Also adding: the spike in 2008 was transient and partially juiced by a weak dollar. Unfortunately, we will probably get no respite this time around. At the current geopolitical trajectory, I also doubt $147 is anywhere near the limit of whe

I got what you were saying. I read it the same way. I’m sorry for your loss. No one leaves this planet alive, and the best you can hope for is that the majority of your time is spent relatively healthy and independent.

I don’t disagree with any of your assessments, but I don’t know if it’s a bigger mistake than Iraq…yet. That war was a 10 year (longer if you bc point ISIS) debacle that cost trillions. Let’s wait a few years before saying this mistake is b

Good write up. Not to mention the other big HR constraints on DoD engineers: they almost always have to be a “US person.” Anyone who gets a CAC working on a personal computer deals with this all too much. The root certs DoD uses are not par

I haven’t touched a Palantir system since 2008 (and I still feel dirty) so I’m not the most read up on this: but Maven is just the harness or workflow tool. It still needs an LLM to evaluate data, and they used Anthropic for the kickoff of
