Poor phrasing, then. Meant to say a container is started once, then queried on every subsequent request.
And what I’m talking about is not the user-facing lambda, but what AWS does on the infrastructure layer below, which involves running a containerised process on firecracker VMs, communicating via HTTP. There was a great summary of how AWS works a while ago, going into way more detail, that I sadly can’t find anymore. But there’s definitely more work involved in calling a lambda function than forking a process in nginx.
I guess I should expect to see FB at #1 given this is HN, but even with the negative bias, it’s surprising to see people discount the success of Oculus so easily.

Quest was one of the best selling holiday gifts this year, and the companion app even hit #1 in the iOS App Store (over IG, TikTok, etc.)[1]. FB the app may be slowing growth, but AR/VR seems poised to be the next major computing platform - and mainstream adoption shares this sentiment. It’s fine to wish for the company’s demise, but arguing that they’re ready to fail seems foolish.

my thoughts exactly. i'm woefully underread on the whole situation but something is weird and different about it.

one thing that does jump to mind is that the investor list and board composition isn't what i'm used to seeing for stem ventures. i can imagine that perhaps they're less forgiving of failure and were operating with more blind trust in company leadership on stem/technology matters.
They also were using samples much smaller than demanded by the specs on the regular machines resulting in inaccurate results.

I LOVE sugar. I can easily eat two pints of ice cream in one sitting. When working, I can consume ungodly amounts of sugar to keep my mind running. When my blood sugar would get low, I would literally eat 3 snickers bars out of sheer desperation. I started doing a keto diet to lose a little weight, and it's actually been extremely easy. Apparently, having a high fat, low carb diet causes hormones to be released that suppress appetite and sugar cravings. I really would enjoy eating some sugar, as I miss the food I love, but I don't have a single craving.
Usually your sample size would be a good indicator of the accuracy of your poll/test/experiment.

Of course, like everything it could be biased by the used methodology.

The truth is, it has been happening for a while, but certainly sped itself up when the establishment realized that allowing people to freely spread ideas and opinions very likely resulted in that really mean tweeter winning, rather than the person they wanted to win, and that to ensure that the only ideas considered "correct" moving forward are allowed to propogate, that comments either needed to be disabled, or heavily regulated, by the very smart, very good people in Big Tech, who cried tears of frustration and anger after the Cheeto won.

> Sending fraudulent people to jail for a long, long time is fundamental to running a healthy society

Really?! Interesting...

I agree, a functioning society needs good law and order, and some way to prosecute and bring criminals to justice.

But I am personally not convinced that sending someone "to jail for a long, long time" is the solution. How is that productive? I think we need to come up with better ways to serve justice than physically restricting otherwise smart or productive individuals to a room for decades on end. As soon as we are done with abolishing the death penalty, I would want us to start looking at abolishing this "decades long locking up" of folks. I don't have a good solution as I said, but I am convinced that this is not it.

AWS is great if you have a very large infrastructure budget. Playing around on a test AWS account where thousand dollars plus or minus is no big deal is a lot of fun. Playing around while trying to keep the bill under 10$ is just torture.
MFA needs to be forced on by default for all new accounts created with the UI. It is utterly irresponsible for AWS to not do this. People always counter with "you should know better!" But AWS markets itself to college kids. People were all up in arms and Robinhood allowing 18 year olds to create accounts which could result in unbounded losses, but AWS somehow gets a pass?
What conflicts of interest? Big companies? The nations they are based in? None of that stopped, for example, the story about Volkswagen's Diesel fraud, or Boeing's troubles with the 757-MAX from finding a lot reputable publishers willing to print the story.

>I always find it interesting to learn what obscure things folks collect.

A buddy of mine has a similar fascination with picking things up from defunct companies, specializing in film/video post production companies. One of the items he picked up was a standard banker's box. Inside were a pile of CD-Rs which turned out to be the entire digital back up of an unfinished 3D animated feature. The entire recordings of the actor's lines. The 3D objects, scenes, etc to an unknown level of completeness. Even though the work product was purchased from the bankruptcy auction, the copyright was still owned by the creators and could not be rendered/released just because they bought a box in auction for $20.
Another failure mode can be testing the wrong things. Companies will make products to do well in tests or otherwise appeal to consumers even if that makes their product actually worse. For example maybe tyres would only be tested in a straight line (rather than when cornering) or when unworn (so allowing shallow grooves to allow for a thinner wall and shorter life).

I recently came across a YouTube channel where a guy does various thorough-seeming tests of a medium range of brands for a bunch of product categories (think spanners and scissors and suchlike) and he’ll talk quickly and provide lots of numbers but when you think a little more, it seems that there isn’t much reason for the test results to correlate with a good product (eg maybe if your Phillips head cams out it is because that is what it’s meant to do and not because it’s bad)
It's hardly only shady stuff; Kaspersky, ABBYY FineReader, VKontakte, Telegram are Russian software products that come to mind.

Russia also has its own SaaS enterprise sector with companies like SKB Kontur or Diasoft.

Am I happy? No. Working retail before the pandemic wasn't the best, but it was doable. Now? I'm not sure how much longer I can do this. Between rude customers and (semi-)incompetent coworkers, I'm closer than I've ever been to just leaving my keys on the counter and walking out.

I can give the most basic instructions, describe exactly how to do something, even go so far as to show how to do it, and yet I still have key individuals who will stare at me blankly and then ask me to repeat myself multiple times... And then when I come back to check up on them, they've messed everything up, totally disregarding everything I've said/showed them.

My boss expects me to hand-hold, but this is not doable. I can't hover over people 24/7 when, even with no regard as for how they do things, they still can't manage to get things done in a timely manner. They've all been trained time and time again, so it's not like they haven't been shown how to do things and what the expectations are. Most of the freight has been run by management for months now because of this, and I'm almost at wits end. But with the current state of things, finding competent workers is nearly impossible, and keeping them is even more difficult when they see the absurdities around them.

So far I've managed to cope by living moment to moment. When I work on something, I do my best to tune everything else out. I try to get in the 'flow', losing myself while I work mindlessly. Each day is still getting harder, however.

Feelings, for the most part, are intertwined with thoughts. This is what makes CBT and its ilk so valuable. For example...

I'm feeling panicked because I've been given a new manager. I think the new manager may not see the value of my role. Turns out, the new manager is impressed with my experience and has heard good things about me from others. They believe me to be an important asset to the team. My feeling of panic evaporates.

I'd venture that at least 80% of what accounts for 'stress' in the 21st century can be chalked up to the stories we tell ourselves.
Hurting ASML serves neither side - and that's true for most third parties who want nothing to do with that stupidity.

Yes, people who support these policies are authoritarian Marxists. I'm not disparaging it, it just is what it is.

The U.S. is authoritarian and largely Marxist.

> The idea that you'd have to be a Marxist to want to centralize health insurance to reduce costs so people don't go bankrupt paying for medical care is simply propaganda.

Not propaganda, it is by definition what it is. It's not really arguable. The propaganda are the opinions on whether or not it's good. There's a fair argument it's good to make centralized healthcare, there's a fair argument against.

Aside from when I was a kid and my parents hobby farmed chickens I have no experience farming, it presents its own benefits and challenges. For some people gardening really fills this void as well. It comes down to your personality in a lot of ways. For me it’s hunting.

My successful large game hunts have involved going away for a week or more with 2-3 other people. If anyone gets something it’s shared equally amongst the group. Pulling the trigger is about 1% of the effort compared to field dressing, packing out, butchering, setting up camp, etc. With a single moose or caribou you’re looking at a share of 70-100 lbs of meat in the freezer in the end.

There’s a substantial startup cost, and a yearly time sink in researching areas and learning about animal behaviour and habitat. Buying a gun and going to a range to learn how to shoot can be cheap or expensive depending on your tastes. Getting the outdoor gear you need is similar.

This is no way to save money on food, but it’s transformative in terms of how you relate to adversity, nature, and the food chain. Taking full responsibility for every aspect of the food that nourishes you, including taking the life of an animal, requires a lot of psychological work for most people.

Of course the meat is amazing and very satisfying to eat, but the payoffs are not really material. There’s something embedded in our evolution as a species that makes feeding your family and friends something you personally harvested deeply satisfying, it’s really hard to describe, and for me the experience was surprisingly profound. I saved some of the meat from my first caribou so it could be one of the first solid foods that my daughter ate. Feeding it to her was a very meaningful moment.

Beyond that, my appreciation of, and commitment to the conservation of wild spaces became a major calling. It’s so different from camping or hiking when you have a goal every day that causes you do endure weather and uncomfortable situations in ways you didn’t think you were capable of. Sitting on a frosty hillside for hours with a friend while you both scan the landscape with binoculars while barely saying a word probably sounds boring to a lot of people but it becomes a communion with nature that is impossible to achieve in other contexts. Intensely watching animals and learning their patterns and habits made me love and respect them in a way that is hard to express to someone who hasn’t been though it. I know this sounds like a paradox, the desire to kill something that you also want to protect and exalt, and it is. Sorting out this paradox is a very human experience, and it’s one that most of us have become disconnected from.

I also really appreciate that this is basically one or two trips I plan each year that have the side benefit of letting me unplug and go off the grid, putting all my other stresses and concerns to the side and focusing on one big goal. I always come back worn out and battered, but also energized and more at ease. And when it’s not hunting season, my time commitment is pretty low.

They should either add technical measures to prevent overcharging on these types of accounts, or amend the terms of service to explicitly say that the account owner is not liable for charges incurred by an unauthorised user who obtains user credentials.

I find it hard to fathom that a company which sells machine learning as a service cannot detect that an account sitting dormant for months, which suddenly spins up several large VMs, has been compromised.

It's unsatisfactory that the only recourse is hoping for a favourable exercise of discretion on Amazon's part to waive the charges.
Why does that make it surprising?
Why should a customer be stuck with the bill in the case of fraud? If someone fraudulently buys something in a store with my stolen credit card, I am not liable to pay for those purchases. Why would it be different for AWS services?
