All Microsoft services are for entertainment purposes only, as in you’d have to be absolutely crazy enough to use before a Microsoft sales rep has taken your execs to a steakhouse and strip club.

The optionality of consuming services from places other than internet titans for one would be nice.

I was distracted by the picture of the ingredients to a Final Ward being at the top of the page.

llama.cpp and llama-swap do this better than Ollama and with far more control.

This is great to hear! Out of curiosity, which brand did you go with? I tend to stick to Sapphire but the prices are within $200 of each other.

The scrapers should use some discretion. There are some rather obvious optimizations. Content that is not changing is less likely to change in the future.

If you’d like the opposite of this story: I was reversing out of a parking spot. I had moved about 2 feet and a drunk driver hit and ran my vehicle. The driver was charged by police because driving at 40mph and hitting cars in a shopping ce

Local AI sounds nice but most of Apple’s PCs and other devices don’t come with enough RAM for a decent price needed for good model performance and macOS itself is incredibly bloated.

I find it more likely that the entire "second" level of software companies are in OpenAI's cross hairs more so than Google. Salesforce, ServiceNow, Intuit, DocuSign, Adobe, Workday, Atlassian, and countless others are easier

Networking leaving the cloud provider (or even just to another zone on the same cloud) is $0.02 GB. That adds up real fast.

It was real over a decade ago. This is sheer stupidity and selfishness of bringing hobbies into their jobs. If it makes Front-End devs feel better, the "DevOps" world isn't much better.

Rest assured STUMPY was replaced with another home grown protocol! Though I think a stream oriented protocol is a better match for large scale services like S3 storage than a synchronous protocol like HTTP.

I used to work on the backing service for S3's Index and the daily humps in our graphs from lifecycle running were immense!

I've always felt it's probably a wrapper around the Amazon EFS due to the similar pricing and that S3 One Zone has "Directory" buckets, a very file system-y idea.

> So is any of S3 powered by SSD's? S3’s KeyMap Index uses SSDs. I also wouldn’t be surprised if at this point SSDs are somewhere along the read path for caching hot objects or in the new one zone product.

This blog is atrocious from an ad standpoint and the recent flood of posts feels promotional and intentionally controversial. The articles are also devoid of any interesting perspectives. Are people actually reading this?

Gotta give it the old Noctua and blow on that thang. Their fans are seriously awesome. I didn’t believe the hype at first until a Ryzen build was 5-15C cooler, and a lot quieter.

If anything the internet has become more of the wild west and will continue to do so as the internet is incredibly useful for state actors.

The tradeoffs you cite aren’t about the CAP theorem. It’s more about RUM conjecture: http://daslab.seas.harvard.edu/rum-conjecture/

The idea of active-active is too seductive compared to how hard learning distributed systems is.

Rather poor writing for the ACM. It’s just a pile of anecdotes and overreaching conclusions. The downtrend in software dev hiring predates the AI boom.

Uber is worth a case study in absolutely horrendous customer service and borderline theft. I haven't used them since they stole $150 from me for an UberEats order I was 10 minutes late to pickup in a one hour window, stating that the p

pgdog represents maybe just the VTGate portion of Vitess. There's a whole lot more to Vitess or any replication-on-top of a database type service than just the query router.

You're both painting polarized views. I'm from the rust belt where many of these disenfranchised can be found. Manufacturing isn't coming back. Tariffs are only going to increase the gap between the haves and the have-nots.
