> maybe briefly booting up another 100k isn’t going to be the end of the world

Cloudflare doesn’t run in AWS. They are a cloud provider themselves and mostly run on bare metal. Where would these extra 100k physical servers come from?

This isn’t true in my experience. I’m a parent of three teens and they immediately exclaim “clanker” and hit skip when encountering any form of AI generated content on any platform.

They recognize AI slop easily and definitely do care enough to avoid it. As do their friends.

AI-generated content has near-zero commercial value long-term.

Interestingly many, if not most cybercrime organizations are on the OFAC list. So many companies who have paid when hit by ransomware have violated US law.

I am unaware of any prosecutions in this area.

My house is also like this. No signal on any carrier, and same with one of my neighbors but not neighbor on the opposite side.

Looking at satellite view it is clear that the local municipal water tower is between a huge cell tower near the highway and my house. All carriers seem to lease that same tower only in my area.

It wasn’t like this when I moved in but I guess the carriers consolidated on that big tower near the highway about two years ago.

Radio shadows are a thing I guess.

Actually the two are very much not the same logically. The real text quoted first allows for servitude in limited circumstances. Your second modified version requires it.

One of my first jobs was as the programmer/IT/graphics guy at a newspaper. Everybody there was required to use em-dashes properly and regularly, and followed other esoteric rules from the Associated Press Stylebook that also regularly appear in LLM output.

This highlights just how much unlicensed copyrighted material is in LLM training sets (whether you consider that fair use or not).

How did you run the fans on your gas furnace without electric power?

If you have a backup generator, is it too small for your AC in the summer?

This is definitely not true for the client-side software under discussion. Millions of devices requiring more resources and energy. The problem is that’s an externality to the developer.

Is this a per-market thing?I’m from Chicago and therefore fly United with my family all the time. The website/app lets me pick all our seats at booking time in Economy class without any up charges.

Commercial SQL databases have been doing predicate push-down (even on joins) since the 1990s at least. It’s a table-stakes feature.

How would you handle “company name” or other common phrases in search? Log 1M documents every time that phrase appeared in a copilot response for any user?

The overwhelming majority of large assets (images, audio, video) will receive near-zero benefit from using the rsync algorithm. The formats generally have massive byte-level differences even after small “tweaks” to a file.

All the large cloud-hosted infra I’ve encountered in my career were written in JIT or AOT compiled languages (C#, Java, Golang, etc.) This is basically necessary at any sort of scale.

Basically all other identity providers are also vulnerable to phishers which strip out webautn calls in the payload when acting as a proxy to the real IdP.

Basically you must disable all other phishable forms of MFA fallback if you want phishing-resistant FIDO2/passkeys. Conditional access policies in Entra can do this selectively or org-wide. If you don’t do this you’re relying on “end user training and wariness” again as phishing protection.

> On the other hand, I’m not sure any direct confrontation with a near-peer military would last long enough for that to matter.

Hasn’t Ukraine shown us the opposite? Drones of all typees covering the battlefield have reset military doctrine once again. That war has been anything but quick.

Beer brewing.

We have drilled many oil wells deeper than 7km. We will just need a wider bore to fit that chubby nuke down the hole.

Looks to be reachable through many service ports, including http/https in at least some circumstances. I have not seen reliable information if default configurations of IIS are exploitable.

Three months later, all devs have “Allow *” in their tool-name.conf

>Which is exactly why it is blowing my mind that anyone would connect user-generated data to their LLM that also touches their production databases.

So many product managers are demanding this of their engineers right now. Across most industries and geographies.

In IPv4 if your NAT or your ISPs CGNAT stops mapping everything breaks.

Having a stateful mapping device inline in the network sucks for reliability in general. Native IPv6 removes the requirement.

Confusing UX in my opinion… I like the general idea but a series of questions presented sequentially would be more useful.

Wasn’t it really only the Chicago Public Schools that were closed for so long? As I recall most everything else sort of opened in some capacity within a year, even sporting events and concerts.

Wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards and ice storms, earthquakes… many regional disasters are temporary but it can take very long to bring everything back online. AWS can also always lose a whole region for an extended period due to software and control plane bugs.

Even if all your apps and data stores are active-active multi-region you can be in a world of risk with no DR for a long time if your DR region fails. If your data size is small that vulnerability window might be small but if you’ve got petabytes you’ll be without lifeboat for a days or weeks until you can take another “full” DR copy.

A passkey never exposes a secret to the website, so neither malicious scripts (e.g. via ad networks or analytics “partners”) nor malicious browser extensions can scrape the password.

Plus passkeys are inherently phishing resistant, and don’t rely on the end user being wary when autofill don’t work. Autofill doesn’t work a lot, due to broken sites blocking paste as well as stupid sites that have you enter your creds to into multiple domains. (Yes, I’m looking at you, United Airlines…)

Anecdotally there seems to be a bit more air traffic in around Chicago versus 2019, but perhaps I just notice flights overhead more now as I commute downtown far less. This site shows current ORD volume at roughly 2019 levels:

Apple absolutely effed up by not communicating the specifics well, but that’s corporate policy. Apple docs have always been targeted at the non-technical user and therefore inadequate for others.

My old man was a doctor and the local phone company at the time (GTE) automatically made our home number unlisted. Presumably this was done for other “critical” professions who might receive many home calls that should be directed at their place of work.

Being unlisted was sometimes devastating to a 1980s kid’s social life… I missed out on multiple birthday parties and other invitations. My sisters probably lost out on some dating opportunities.
