Hopefully Kubernetes does die. Most companies write shit slow software and then think they're big smart boys because they have to buy $20,000/month of servers to make it not be unusable. In many shops it could and should be replaced by a handful number of efficient servers that do not suck shit.

Yeah you will. It’s not going to be very good at reproduction of the same exact thing each time. In some of the examples you see the textures changing wildly and it’s a classic problem with these models. The same input does not generate the same output, so it will be obvious that it’s generated when you can’t get the “model” to look the same between two photos in the same “photo shoot”
I avoided email in emacs for a decade, using exactly this reasoning.

A few years ago I got fed up with not being able to configure Mail.app to notify me of responses to "watched" threads but nothing else and thought "...I bet the CLI tools would make this achievable."

So, I moved to mbsync for fetching email, not much for indexing the local email directory, and notmuch-mode / Emacs for reading and writing email.

It's head and shoulders above any other email setup I've ever used.

I wish I'd done it years ago.

I’m his age. I am independent but for the last 50 years I have been preparing for that very situation because as a child in the 1970s I saw that the tech world was cyclical. I still keep my skills up-to-date even though at this point there is probably no reason to. The thing your father needs to understand is that he can find a job, but it will just take him a lot longer than most people.

That’s because most of the people in this industry are young and old people scare them. They don’t want to work with old people. Which means your father will just have to work extra hard to sell himself. He will have to be appreciably better at something hard to do than the other candidates, so much better that he will be irresistible. It’s not fair, but it’s what minorities and women had to do for decades.
Great read!!! I had similar experiences though in a much smaller scale with some side personal projects for fun. Despite all the libraries and all the many things already done for you, if you really want to do anything slightly interesting that sets your work apart you will need to really work hard.. I end up abandoning most of these little projects because it quickly becomes stressful and like a job for which I'm and will never be paid! I can fix a bug here and there or add a feature while working as a part of a professional team and make my employer richer... There might be some ingredient that the rest of us miss.. Or maybe our motives are not quite right!! Becoming one's boss seems like a frivolous thing and might not be enough to push you forward in hard time.. Or maybe one can't be both a craftsman and a businessman at the same time..

Sure, that's pretty clear :). If you want to re-read my post above I wasn't saying that would be as good at game rules and there's a very real limitation as soon as you get away from scripted encounters and into anything more complex.

At the same time consider there may be people, teams and designers who it does work for. Very few things are in absolute and there are places where I've seen tools like this used effectively.
THANK YOU for scratching that itch.
I wouldn't say corn tortillas have a particularly short shelf life. Or that they're all that hard to reheat. If you're getting fresh ones straight from the tortilliera, they're not going to last long on the counter, but that's because they're not formulated or packaged for shelf life. There are quite a few larger brands that make more shelf-stable corn tortillas and I've never noticed them going bad any faster than flour tortillas.

I'm not sure if you mean something specific by reheating, but I've always just toasted them in a pan on medium heat for a bit. I'm sure a good Mexican cook puts more finesse into it than I do, but there's at least enough structural integrity when I toast them to get the filling down your gullet with minimal complications.

Damn I miss living where the grocery store had a cooler of this morning's fresh-made corn tortillas. La Banderita is better than nothing, but it's just not the same.

Very stimulating. I am reminded of the mending wall by Frost, of meditations by Aurelius, of Cats Cradle, and Feersum Enjinn. And of the old server mantra of accept the traffic of others but watch the traffic you transmit.

Of this lyric “ And I'm no different, I live in conflict and contradiction
But it can be so beautiful
When I don't reject what lies within
It's beautiful the way agony connects us to the living
I think of the world when I hurt, and keep on existing in the
Now”

Am I on the right path by thinking it talks on the strange symmetry in the hearts of man? (fearing the darkness and scraping away at the edges with fire - Rei Ayanami) waves and troughs, prickles and goo, anxiety is thinking one of them will win (Alan watts).

Is it the dangers of being locked in idealised or normative interpretations and advocacy?

I don’t think it’s what it’s trying to talk about but I’ll mention on talk of those best able to murder, those best at warfare, they may preach peace because it is they that do the killing, someone else decides the victim. Your poem maybe is of them trying to keep their monopoly.

And so it is that your poem talks of the other, beware them, do not believe their lies (write it on your Polaroid for when you forget later - memento) but it is really talking of yourself, you aren’t better than them, when you are sure of yourself you have lost, when you are unsure of yourself you have lost. If your aren’t to be fooled by others you need only stop fooling yourself? (Which maybe can’t be done haha)

Not sure how it fits in but I’m also compelled to add from a beautiful mind: you watched a mugging John, that’s weird.

Let me save you said the monkey, putting the fish safely up the tree.

Also, beware them all you like, your still stuck with them.

Or just use xterm. It's blazing fast and even supports GPU acceleration if you are using a video driver that uses Xorg's GLAMOR acceleration framework. It has close to the lowest latency of any X terminal, as well. It has a reputation for being slow because it actually commits each character or terminal command to the display, you know, like a real terminal would. If you set the fastScroll X resource to true, xterm will behave like other terminal emulators and enable a speed hack that makes it skip display updates.
> Which is to say that the positions in k8s that qualify for L7/L8 promo-worthy work are to a first approximation, just the steering committee.

Not only that, but the "promo packet" and "promo committee" is fairly unique to Google. Other companies do things very differently, e.g. FB's twice-yearly (now yearly) manager-driven PSC+"calibration" cycle, which has fairly different incentives than Google-style committees of unknown engineering peers with arbitrary periodization.

Google's system is well known (at least, in my circle of colleagues!) to not promote healthy long-term maintainership, although it does incentivize point-in-time brilliance and solving deep complexity.
Human consumption includes some agriculture. You'd be surprised to learn what counts as agriculture for purposes of water in places like California. One example: Golf courses. Others; horse race tracks, horse farms, cemeteries. All kinds of places that produce ZERO crops for human consumption.
There’s overhead in both of these models when you try to scale centralized infrastructure at massive scale across a large number of services and teams you run into many scaling problems that your central infra teams will need to solve. In addition this model gives less flexibility to your service teams and adds certain centralized failure scenarios that might be undesirable at the scale of such a company.

Instead of this you can have central infrastructure and platform teams have partial ownership of infrastructure while service teams or departments have partial ownership. In that model a service team or department owns their own cluster with infrastructure code partially provided by the platform team running on compute infra maintained by the infrastructure team.

This model has seen much success at the scale of Amazon while maintaining SLAs and controlling costs. There are of course a number of drawbacks to this model at scale that you can ask any former Amazon engineer about.

I would think a similar model can be mapped to hyperscaling kubernetes where operators, cross cluster infra, and base kubernetes configs are maintained by the platform team while departments or service teams (depending on scale of team size) maintain their own clusters at whatever granularity fits the company’s scale (e.g region, datacenter).

This is also where cloud can help alleviate some pain for your platform and infra teams by using managed solutions to solve some of these problems.

In my opinion both are viable models at scale it just depends on the needs specific to your company.

I was specifically trying to clarify the second half of "fit your workloads in 50ms (CPU time) or 30ms (IO time)". The only time IO time is relevant for Workers is billing of Unbound Workers, not whether your workload fits. The only time-based workload limits for Workers are 50ms of CPU time (Bundled), 30s of CPU time (Unbound), or 15 min (via Unbound Cron Triggers).

I thought our Unbound Workers are supposed to also be cheaper as well but I need to double-check that piece.

Bundled and Unbound Workers are equally fast.

He can do anything but getting a full time job.

What is even a job? It is just financial security. At your dad's age, is he really looking for that financial security of a job? On the flip side of things nobody would be comfortable hiring him as they might think, he might not fit in with the team or he has a higher possibility of quitting because young people could barely survive the grind.

Recruiters/employers are biased and they make binary decisions on first impressions. It would be brutal for him to be in a job first mindset.

Ask him to look into freelance work and cotract jobs. He might even be able to get some advantage because many people subsitute experience with age.

Or ask him to build something. The software industry is obsessed with the under 40 demography so he has insights to a niche that is untapped.

If people already accepted that they need help, there are many good ways to treat people with unwanted sexual obsessions (trying to choose my words carefully here). I honestly don't think that it would help them to serve them more content.

However, I'd love to see some research to explore the possibility of involving machine generated content in psychological treatment. The core of your idea is IMHO brilliant.
I think average height is more strongly correlated with nutritional profile and overall caloric intake than the proportion of the diet dedicated to animal products. The article makes a point of emphasizing that (and less scientific approaches to nutrition that spun out of it).

Similarly: obesity is strongly correlated with sedentary behavior and overconsumption of processed foods, which tend to include lots of animal products.

I posit that for the purposes of psychological/mental health, it is not worth it to live in a system run through deception. It is also civically dangerous because the habit of lying can be so easily transposed from a selfless telos to a selfish one - and, conveniently, lied about. If it is possible, I would rather die so that someone else is spared having to live in a deceptive system. Do I have the right to impose that decision on others, though? I say no. It's their responsibility to make that choice.
