Agreed. He also mentioned these years being “some of the toughest at intel”. To me it read as 1) Amazing that he managed to get anything done at all with this kind of turmoil and 2) A not so subtle hint that things aren’t all good at Intel.

I have more respect for him because he chose to do this. It’s probably clear that he doesn’t have to, at all. But he’s choosing not to rely on his (somewhat) tech celebrity status and deliver on measurable outcomes.

hey peter, Im on an h1b visa (year 10, have approved i140 and pending gc application). Ive never done an h1b stamping as I was paranoid about being denied. Will doing the stamping now trigger the 100k h1b fee?

This is not good. One major outage? Something exceptional. Several outages in a short time? As someone thats worked in operations, I have empathy; there are so many “temp havks” that are put in place for incidents. but the rest of the world

I still don’t get the point of zig, at least not from this post? I really don’t want to do memory management manually. I actually think rust is pretty well designed, but allows you to write very complex code. go tries really hard to keep it

SaaS is now a "solved problem"; almost all vendors will try to get SOX/SOC2 compliance (and more for sensitive workloads). Although... its hard to see how these certifications would have prevented something like this :melting

Just because recessions do happen, does not mean that its good to have recessions, not does it make them necessary. Popping bubbles can be contained and not blow up the entire system if we have proper regulations, for instance. > Democ

Its a little strange for the article to not mention how much of the "stock growth" and GDP growth is mostly due to unsustainable, large investments in Data centers. Its not clear if that will continue into 2026, and what will happ

okta is the worst. Their support is the worst (we always got someone overseas who only seemed to understand anything, probably they were trained on some corpus) and would take forever to loop in anyone that could actually help.

I've been bit by the mass marketing nonsense of "Watson" but IBM Research does some pretty good work, and their progress on Quantum Computing seems to be "real"; and certainly more reliable than Microsoft (shocked!)

yeah something major is borked and they're unwilling to admit it. The status page initially claimed "https git operations are affected" when it was clear that ssh were too (its updated to reflect that now).

Github isn't in the same reliability class as the hyperscalars or cloudflare; its comically bad now, to the point that at a previous job we invested in building a readonly cache layer specifically to prevent github outages from bringin

Im inclined to blame the US healthcare system. It looks like a gofundme was setup to pay for her cancer treatment. A sensible system a) wouldn’t need patients to pay for treatment and b) might have caught it earlier through regular screenin

Their area of expertise is in running large scale infra, which they have innovated a lot to get. They’re acquiring a company that has expertise in an area they're not familiar with, which needs large scale compute infra. It seems like

I was wondering if/when cloudflare would jump into doing “more AI”. Of all the paths they could have taken, this seems like a reasonable one. Hope that the dev team made some money/cloudflare stock from this transaction.

Just a poorly written article. Noah had some unique insights into economics. I believe that somehow made him believe that he is a unique genius (hes not) and the world wants his opinion on everything (we don’t).

The cargo version IMO might be a bigger hit. I can see not just last mile, but perhaps within large factories, golf clubs etc.

I think the idea is to disconnect pedaling from road conditions. When you’re biking, it’s preferable to pedal in “safe” zones (protected bike lanes, trails etc.) while relying on the battery for eg intersections and when sharing the road wi

Washington post has been becoming increasingly irrelevant. They went from 500-800k paid subscribers to less than 100k after Bezos started interfering editorially. Some of the most respected journalists left the paper. So I wouldn’t take WaP
