I don't think this is an easy reaction at all, I read it as someone who sees through the BS and has experienced it first-hand. You call it grandstanding, I call it just being a good person and supporting your coworkers. Maybe a little

The problem with most corporate work that these managerial idiots want replaced with AI is that is all so utterly useless. Reports written that no one will ever read, presentations made for the sake of the busy-ness of "making a deck&q

I second this. I feel very strongly that we have to do our best to make technical things more accessible to more people, but this trend of adding emojis to these readmes is just infantilizing. A lot of the content is interesting enough on i

Every added drop of his flop sweat during this disaster just gives me that much more life. Amazing.

I'm surprised that there isn't more. Everything that this person has touched has made life that much worse for humanity as a whole. He deserves every ounce of criticism and mockery, moreso because he makes himself out to be this s

I’ll bite, but not in the way you’re expecting. I’ll turn the question back on you and ask why you think they need defending? Their messaging is just more drivel in a long line of corporate drivel, puffing themselves up to their investors,

It's the same tired trope that they trotted out in the .com boom. Same trope resurrected in whatever the recovery of the '08 recession was. And now since AI is the big hot thing, they'll bandy about the same mythic, stoic, as

That's interesting that it's that short. I remember a long while ago I had aspirations of implementing a custom board for Prestonia-/Gallatin-era Xeons and the datasheets and specs for those was around 3000 pages, iirc. Suppo

Your ideas are intriguing to me and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Joking aside, I think the ideas and substance are great and sorely needed. However, I can only see the idea of a sort of token chain verification as running into the

I've also run into this issue a lot, especially in AWS when developers with less networking experience start randomly picking VPC subnets (why they were doing that is a whole 'nuther issue). They wonder why connectivity in docker

Beyond being a warning about AI, which is helpful, you really should be taking proper security precautions anyway. Personally, I have a separate browser that runs no extensions set aside that's solely dedicated to doing finance- and ot

Though perhaps shining a light on shittiness like that might cause someone doing hiring in the future to think for a fraction of a second and reflect. Maybe it’d be better to do it in a less than an insane way and make their slice of the wo

I’m interested to hear more about Init7 becoming more corporate, is that just by virtue of growth and having to adapt to the complexity of being a larger org? Or something else?

I believe you're referring to 464XLAT (RFC6877 [0]) and yeah, you wouldn't -need- to have any ipv4 stack at all internally (except at the very edge of the network to number the PLAT devices [1]), but I believe it would cause a hig

Cogent is fine for most purposes. They have some odd choices upstream at times but for a smaller project, it shouldn’t be a problem. Later on you could look at a dedicated wave or ring (or tunnel, lots of options!) to another facility that

If you have serious intentions of starting an ISP, I'd recommend beginning conversations with a few transit providers right away, feeling out rates and commit terms. Armed with some market info and contacts there, start to look at v4 a

Very interesting! I can see how useful it would be, though I’m hoping the adversarial “AI learns how a specific individual types” and just dumps its output in there doesn’t become a thing.

Presumably this would also be joined with in-person proctoring, with a blue book, or its equivalent, and a writing utensil. Not much room to copy down an AI-hallucinated answer when all you have on your person is pen and paper.

This is true because it has happened to me. I was at a place where there was a very ingrained hierarchy in the culture where people were afraid to ask questions in public (slack), to discuss problems and solutions, because the "leaders

The SRP also changes when you search 'Garamond' (as in the typeface). Edit: I guess this was already on the Google easter eggs wiki page, but I happened to find it randomly just recently.

Lots get starry-eyed and aim for five nines right out of the gate where they should have been targeting nine fives and learning from that. Walk before you run.

You don't automatically get to call yourself leadership once you get into "management" (more like manglement) roles. And really, you have to choose. Are you a leader, of people? Or are you a manager... of resources? Your choi

The best resource there is to not have them. They're fundamentally a waste of time. The best teams will self-organize and come to the right conclusions given vision, dare I say, leadership, from the top.

How is this a footgun? Big Tech will protect Big Tech, it's only an advantage to have a service that will bend to their will. The centralization is the point.
