Nobody is buying them today. But these shaky clumsy versions didn't exist even a few years ago. The hype promises these things tomorrow, which is obvious BS. But the better they look today the more investment will be poured into their

The most difficult part is managing the delivered / processed state and ordered delivery. Consistent ordering of receipt into a distributed buffer is a great challenge. Most stacks do that pretty well. But deciding when a message has b

Kafka is a wonderful technology that punts on the most difficult part of distributed stream processing and makes it the consumer's problem.

There are good things about this article. It seems like a nice intro for people who have never worked on this type of system. And I'm always happy to celebrate someone's win. But I feel like it was missing an overview of what actu

Seems like a feature. This was always going to be the case. Just like how it was cheaper to train those models on billions of prior works than to have generated or paid to generate all those works in-house.

Did he need it to prove a business viable if there were already players in the market? No. Do you ever need to validate that people would switch providers of a commodity product or service if presented with a cheaper option? Also no. What d

The coding time is irrelevant and always has been. Time writing code has never been the high cost or challenge especially so in blue sky / green field development cases like those described in all these articles. And as far as ops proc

Much of the work "security, keeping things up and running" that AWS does behinds the scenes is bolstered due to the nature of running a massively complicated multi-tenant cloud. Doing exactly what you need in-house is orders of ma

AI is a race to the bottom, and a race to over-spend. Seeing this as competition will bankrupt the players, make enablers rich, and end up killing a lot of people when the need to bolster confidence in its capabilities overrules basic commo

Ah, the old "if you have nothing to hide you should let us surveil and search you as much as we want" argument.

There is a lot of idealism wrapped up in this statement and just because we think something should be does not make it truth.

They don't actually need to achieve AGI or ASI. All they need to do is pump expectations around growth to the point where the public will believe all the BS about their terminal growth rate to dump their equity on the open market.

I'll go further and say that audiobook production is not cost constrained unless the marketable value of the work is extremely low. What we get is cheap audiobooks for which there is no / low demand, and what it costs us is the de

The premise of this argument is false. Pre-agriculture people were food supply constrained. Nobody is audiobook or other entertainment supply constrained today. And worse, modern farm produce is effectively worth zero. In many cases farmers

There are a few tragedies in the Docker story, but at least two are specifically tied to naming things. First, Swarm (mode) because by the time they released Swarm (mode) the world had already taken a collective dump on Swarm (the proof-of-

Unfortunately, this mission reminds me of "This video is for educational purposes only." There is no real way to enforce use restrictions.

The other replies are pretty good. You can find all sorts of goodies in string data inside a binary: hostnames, URL fragments, error messages or templates, credentials. Pretty much any string constants that a program might use.

Julia's articles are always excellent. I've always had great results teaching people that compiled code doesn't keep secrets by demoing `strings`.

This project has been around for a long time. I made a few contributions in like 2014 or 2015. It is a great distributed stack and a semi-comfortable alternative to things like RabbitMQ. Did something new happen?

It is deeper than that, the author appears to be a constitutional absolutist and is pitching a perspective that calls into question any law or condition that narrows or refines the conditions under which a warrant is issued. But this is obv

One-sided speculation where vagaries play to the person's admitted agenda? No tech or business relation? Nothing to do with hacking in the slightest? This is not news. While I'm not shocked to see this out of WSJ, I'm a bit s
