That's like monkeys being observed by scientists behind one way mirrors saying they have evidence that there is no one watching them because they've never seen any scientists. But that would be a mistaken assumption because the sc

Seems like security is slowly eating the software world. At some point security will be so onerous that it will take more effort than the actual software being secured. Software was more fun in the good old days before there was a huge crim

It's an intentional design decision of go. In C#/Java, exceptions are often (ab)used to create invisible control flows through the program that are extremely difficult to follow since exceptions can float up arbitrarily large stac

Sounds a lot like Unity's recent pricing changes ("if you make more than $X, you need to start paying us a fee per install")

And furthermore (in AoC's opinion), being reliant on CNC machines make you worse at whittling, which I guess makes sense.

Hopefully in a decade or two there will be open LLMs comparable to today's state of the art you can run on consumer hardware (or at least in AWS for a reasonable price). Then you'll be fully in control instead of at the mercy of t

For me, "tuning" linux for performance = disabling spectre/meltdown mitigations (in this case compute nodes are running in a VPC with no internet access, so seems pretty low risk)

I use GCP, and it's hard for me to imagine something simpler than docker containers in Cloud Run which works for most of my use cases.

That wasn't the intent of my comment at all. I don't hate k8s - I've never used it beyond experimental fiddling. I'm sure if I used it at work all day I would love it. I'm trying to grapple with the fact that k8s is

Right, you've acquired the taste. But why should people who haven't acquired the taste do this? To me seems like a mountain of unneeded complexity compared to just running a local webserver directly in a docker container with &quo

Kubernetes seems like an "acquired taste". Either you use it a lot (likely at work) and are therefore comfortable using it outside of work as your one-size-fits-all solution to everything, or else you don't use it a lot and s

A lot of smaller SaaS companies avoid k8s like the plague and only start using it once they scale to a certain size. K8s might be ubiquitous past a certain scale, but there are many jobs operating below the threshold for which the complexit

Say we put up a ton of red tape around what you are allowed to train on to develop an LLM... how does that not result in a future where China (who ignores such laws) becomes the new world leader in AI/LLMs? I guess if we hobble the abi
