More likely that 'update the Status site' lives a long way down their incident response plan, and they have alarms going off well before that

So I was, for about a month. But I had to give it up due to, mainly, compatibility with MAM requirements for work and app quality. It’s so infuriating to me how good this hardware is yet how equally underinvested it is. I do enjoy it when I

What happened with VMWare licensing post acquisition is a travesty and has absolutely ruined what was a great ecosystem of small to medium scale hosting operations (talking in the half a rack to 10 racks territory). There is still no altern

Have a look at meshrank and the current map over UK. It’s quite wild how much coverage there is.

What an unfortunate time for these niche hardware companies to be launching new hardware. Framework, StarLabs, System76, (I wonder if Tuxedo will release something). The RAM prices must be killing them. Even if they increase prices to accom

Oh, I must be misremembering. I also used to use it with XBMC/Kodi, but I recalled kodi itself being the dvr element. Or maybe I’m even conflating it with plex. It has been a minute :D

There is a fairly impressive installation of these at Heathrow airport in Terminal 5 outside the BA lounges. Struggling to find a decent video on YouTube, but this one’s not terrible https://youtu.be/G03WA30yFMI?si=hx5aLlrj_

Perhaps they should include a warning about learning systems design and architecture too then? It’s very incomplete.

Not a single mention of “maybe WE should have tested our backup strategy and scrutinised it”. Or even “maybe we should have backups away from the primary vendor”. Because this also says negligible DR and BC strategy. Complete accountability

Yup, super important point. None of the JLPT exams test output, only comprehension. It’s a really interesting gap!

Certainly AI editorialised. I wonder if this is because English isn’t their first language, and they are confidence compensating. I’ve worked with a lot of folks also from Philippines and the Tagalog/English mix leads to some confidenc

You are of course specifically referring to the math optimised models, not the chat ones folks would generally encounter. Not that I’m trying to contradict you, your point is super valid and I agree with you! But I’m supplementing to help a

SSO Tax is a large part of it, controls around plug-in marketplace, enforcement of config, observeability of spend. But it’s all pretty weak really for $20 a month. And Microsoft are going the same route to moving Copilot Cowork over to a u

Anthropic recently dropped all inclusive use from new enterprise subscriptions, your seat sub gets you a seat with no usage. All usage is then charged at API rates. It’s like a worst of both worlds!

Yeah, it’s an interesting one. I think inertia and expectations at this point? I don’t think the big labs anticipated how low the model switching costs would be and how quickly their leads would be eroded (by each other and the upstarts) Th
