If you have a bug in how a lambda function is run on AWS, do you find yourself looking for the bug in firecracker? It is open source, so you technically could, but I just don't see many customers doing that. Same can be said about KN

A post like this is why I'm excited about Oxide ( https://oxide.computer/ ). I know it is a huge undertaking, but imagine a 100% open source server, from the bios, to the network drivers, to the OS. I know this doesn&#

Making their plane military-approved would be extremely costly and frankly it probably wouldn't work. There have been a lot of people commenting about the military clearly wanting this and taking over the project, but what makes a pla

Clearance was really hard back in 2002 when Global Hawk was coming out of test phase and into production. There wasn't another autonomous plane, so it was the first to do what it was trying to do. That wasn't really my field, bu

This looks like a great project. Global Hawk [1] has all the current autonomous aircraft records (longest autonomous flight, etc.). Obviously you can't go as fast as Global Hawk, but one great thing is you don't have to worry ab

I mean, there weren't "statistics". We had a school of 300 kids and I could nearly name every one of them. After shit went down, everyone calmed the hell down. I don't know how to prove it or anything, but when people

This got touched on by a few replies, happy to see there are some others here with actual military experience chiming in. I grew up on military bases, and went to schools both on and off base for 18 years. All continental US bases typicall

So that's the rub, the people who realize it is horrible actually quit on it. Lots of people talk about getting of social media, but very few actually delete all of their accounts. I've removed every social account I have around

This isn't the typical 1000 word, "here's how we did it, now use our thing" company fluff blog post. What a great writeup. Sometimes reading docs, it is hard to figure out the fine details when making a decision. Your

Holy shit I never put that together. He was always just tinkering in his garage by himself as far as I remembered. We had a lot of bugs in our truck (like everyone) so we would get burned out and walk around and talk to each other. There wa

You should track down the one-man team from the first DARPA Grand Challenge who made an autonomous motorcycle. I was on a team with a real truck, so I didn't have to figure out how to balance a two-wheeled vehicle while also trying to

Figma was started in 2012, while definitely successful, it wasn't exactly built quickly . C++ on WASM is performant, but probably not super easy to bootstrap a new project on.

I live in a state where phone use is legal and I am so jealous of you right now. I see near misses on the road every-single-day.

As someone who owns a truck (F150) and uses it for truck-like things (wood, rocks, concrete, towing, etc.), I would never be caught dead going to the local lumber yard or landscaping yard in a Cybertruck. The Rivian and Ford at least look

Thanks for the laugh. I really hope you reach your goal of 5.3 quadrillion dollars.

BlurHash looks not at all accurate in the examples given. Some are not even close. I wouldn't use it on that fact alone.

Spot the renter in SF/Seattle/LA/NYC mad about wording around people "owning" a house. Yes I have a mortgage, but at least my monthly payments are 98.01% going to my own future. Renting doesn't even compare, j

If you send all of your slack communications to IngestAI, it would include possibly channels where you discuss interview feedback. That's what the parent poster is saying.

Somewhere in Akamai there's a group of network engineers laughing at these numbers I'm sure. Akamai just doesn't blog about every neat thing they do.

One of the reasons Fastly got used by online newspapers was their fast purge. No newspaper wanted to use CDNs for breaking news if purging took 20 minutes to complete. It was one of the advantages Fastly had that allowed them to get custo

As a kid I used to watch the Space Shuttle come in for landing, and it always had a distinct triple-boom on entry. Someone said it was the body and wing tips each making their own boom, but I never really confirmed it.

That's an incredible paycut, I'm sorry. I definitely had to hunt, most small startups offered me about 60% of what I made. I finally found one which offered me 85% of what I made. While still significant for me, it wasn't

I've lived in several cities around America, and nothing really compares to how poorly run SF is. There is corruption in every city on earth, so SF isn't special in that regard. There are much better run cities in the US, but mos

No one thought C++ was safe in the beginning. It was very clear with all of the undefined behavior that we were not getting any safety.
