It's all we got at this point. Even as SRE, I just got 2000-line Golang change to something I think should be 150. However, the boss is already bouncing around happy we are going to deliver something that's been in Jira backlog fo

I know someone working on a smaller open source who has same thing. They have considered just blocking all PRs outside known contributors because AI spam even on their tiny open source project is too much. At work, I've gotten into fig

"Nibbling at the edges" is all they can do since that was original proposed method. So they are appealing this particular nibbling at the edges but whole scale, break up Google was not in original remedy so authorities are kind of

Strong disagree. These payments are clearly massive tent pole of maintaining the monopoly and I think it was right for competition authorities to appeal them. In fact, IMO, Metha ruling was way to favorable for Google. Basically like, well,

Strong disagree. A lot of AI development still requires good engineers to keep tight leash on it so I'm seeing more bad developers create a feature until we need to iterate on said feature and we find AI did such a bad job that it beco

Here is the problem, Amazon is not actually driving most of "Amazon" trucks you see the on the road. They are likely being driven and owned by "Joes Delivery Company LLC". If you look at the bottom of the truck, you will

Amazon may require the subcontractor wears the Amazon vest in contract with subcontractor. That's whole point, they appear to be Amazon employees in every way except for paycheck the employee receives and small lettering on the bottom

The act basically makes Amazon responsible for these subcontractors. BTW, they are not only ones who do this, UPS and Fedex have similar setups. The problem here is Amazon farms out delivery to these companies, set impossible delivery stand

I can't read the first article 100% but it's linked here: https://www.wheresyoured.at/anthropics-profitability-swindle... which I noted in my original post seems to be full of juiced numbers. Second link talks abo

Because again, we haven't seen further reports. As always, we are debating financials on a company that doesn't have to disclose them regularly.

It's not violence from the job but their job was generally bad for their health in other ways. Sitting all day without getting up and driving around with windows down getting all this UV. Also, older ones were exposed to a ton of cigar

As Ed Zitron pointed out, that "quarter" of profitability is EBITDA profitability and comes with plenty of creative accounting. When they do it for a year, we can say "They have found profitability"

>Anthropic has 80%+ margins on inference. That's like saying my delivery company is profitable because with current gas prices, my margin is 80%. Yea, what about all money you spent to get there? You still profitable then?

Project Highrise doesn't have elevator simulation. Elevator is just portal that teleports the sim to proper floor.

I hate these type of questions, they scream "YOUR HOLDING IT WRONG." My experience is if you have been racking up the tech debt and have some low hanging fruit, Claude is really good at cleaning it up. If you have been properly st

It's not a good idea, I'd call it terrible in fact. We have MX Records, might as well use those. If not, use SRV records. Requiring mail server to involved in root of the domain is terrible idea.

As former Email Principal at major provider, sure, they run into blacklisting problems. However, most of time, it's not that providers are blacklisting because "Ha ha ha, screw the little guy" but more "Yea, they are hos

You shouldn't. If you are small enough, use Docker Compose with Ansible. Once you get big enough, Kubernetes for 99% of companies, is next logical step.

Sure, it's just another application technically. On more practical level, it's pretty much an OS.

SRE here, when most people say "Server Management" they are talking the root of their problem. "I have this set of Applications and that need to run on this fleet of servers. How do I do this?" and Kubernetes is commonly

In my experience, so many people these days do not have personal computer at home. Their personal computing is phone/tablet and if they game, it's done via a console. EDIT: My wife didn't until she got "second job"

I would assume they are company managed Macs so they could just order a remote wipe and then remove them from iCloud so they revert to their out of box setup.

I think they did it in simulation with several. In any case, dogfighting is commonly done because it's great training but in most cases, you expect most Air to Air combat being flinging missiles at each other.

It's generally more expensive for them when it comes to things like power, water and internet. Boonies have very poor in each of those and building it up would take too long so throw another in Northern Virginia since they have expensi

Stored Functions/Procedures tend to make database into monolith with API that everyone calls, with endless screaming when it gets too big and any schema change takes days to accomplish. That's something that OP didn't discuss

It's both sad and understandable. So many Applications would want to be running in the background for data collection reasons or just user responsiveness. While it could be a permission, after watching so many people just hand out &quo
