Yes! We're doing this at my job for our single tenant cloud offering for a data processing and analytics product.

Monorepo, single Go binary, dump on an instance via cloud init, run it as auto scaling group with count of 1. Only dependency is S3 and database service like RDS.

Super simple for us to build, maintain and operate. Still get a reasonable economy of scale in right sizing the instance / db for the customer workload.

Easy to have a customer set the same thing up themselves for self-managed / any IaaS or on prem version.

More portable than any pre-containerized contraption, because all our enterprise clients all know how to manage instances, and only a few have container expertise, and its trivial to wrap it your container of choosing anyway.
Why? They were too busy being seduced by their own bots. What you are describing is a brief window of time in a history where human input is vanishingly small, and botswarms come to dominate everything.
I actually did the math wrong. Assuming 8 hours of sleep, you have 350,400 waking minutes every year. So $2 a minute becomes "worth the time" if you make 700 grand a year.

> There was never any theory that Linux doesn't need reboots to update the kernel.

Yet people keep saying that on HN, that unlike Windows, you don't need to reboot Linux after updating, and then maybe mention how they have months of uptime.

By default Ubuntu, the most popular distro, updates the kernel too. And frequently the kernel update is a security update.

Definitely not. This last couple of years Ohio really fucked a lot of people I know. The state would not respond to claims and their system would automatically close “old” claims. You couldn’t refile or reopen the claim after this happened. The phone system would play a 6 minute message and then hang up.

Taking the state to court for this while also trying to get a job would be difficult.
Wait, so does that mean the "War on Drugs" wasn't making me more free??? The US Government would never do anything fascist so obviously you're wrong.
Divorced for two years and I did most of the cooking, it didn't affect me much because I was already making large batches of food and freezing it. Here's my system:

- I cook about two dishes per week that freeze and re-heat well. (chilis, curries, soups, stews, refried beans, hummus, beans, etc)
- I cook 6-8 servings at a time, eat one right away and put two away and freeze the rest
- Before I eat up the rest of what's in the fridge, I get another 2-4 servings out of the freezer and put them in the fridge
- If I don't want to have what's in the fridge or freezer I cook a quick meal (stir fry, omelet, mac & cheese, pasta, ramen, etc)

I never get bored of my food and I don't spend a ton of time cooking. I also like to make things that can be "remixed" into other dishes to keep things interesting.
That is kind of disappointing to see. I’ve been watching him for maybe a couple of months now and really enjoyed watching him repair things. I wonder if there are any similar creators with electronic repair content.
To Management, you are either in a Cost Center or a Profit Center. In all advertising-supported monstrosities, only adtech and sales are profit centers. Literally everything else is a cost center. Everyone at Facebook and Google is in a Cost Center if they are not directly involved in landing advertising accounts, presenting ads, or billing for ads.

Never look for work in a Cost Center.

Come hard times, Cost Centers are cut first. Not because it is good for the business, but because cutting payroll impresses Wall Street, inflating stock valuation. To Wall Street, layoffs mean you are serious.
Also, in theory Windows doesn't need reboots because like you said, the rename and replace works just fine for hot patches. Windows reboots as often as it does in part for "backwards compatibility" and the long tail of applications built under the broken 90s assumption that windows "doesn't" hot patch things.

Linux assumes that long running processes just randomly exploding because they are living in a pre-hotfix ghost state is fine (and usually free of security concerns). Windows assumes users notice and get frustrated when long running apps start acting "weird" and don't know why and that there are too many security implications if you just leave unpatched apps running alongside patched ones.

It's another one of those things on the list that the NT Kernel has the raw design to do a lot of smart, deliberate things, but at the end of the day can't trust user space to play nice with them happening and is maybe a little too safety conscious of that.

(My understanding too is that Ubuntu is an interesting example here because Canonical now explicitly uses a more Microsoft-influenced security model in user-focused distributions for when to require reboots. Under the same general concerns: avoid user-noticeable "weirdness" and avoid unpatched CVEs remaining long running in user space. While it could just kill unpatched processes, that creates "user noticeable weirdness", and for better and worse a full "restart" is much less shocking to the average user than long running processes getting killed "weirdly".)

These decisions always boil down to business, even if there's some philosophical disagreements as a part of the broader context. Google pushed back against the CCP, but ended up following the law to the minimum extent they had to. It wasn't until the Chinese military hacked Google and stole their IP that they threatened to leave the market. Regulators called their bluff as they started blocking Google services in China. When they pulled out, it was clear they weren't going to be able to operate a profitable business there.

That is literally true.

News organizations are sued all the time for libel or slander, sometimes for good reason.

Hell, Fox had to backtrack on some of their voting machine coverage, recently, for precisely this reason.

In fact, this is generally true for all freedoms.

Honestly, I challenge you to name just one other human right where you believe there is no legal or social restriction on how you can exercise that right.
Single tenant app is also better from data security point of view: there's no way to make a mistake that allows to access someone else's data, if it resides in a different database/object storage. On the other hand, single tenant app is more expensive to scale: memory footprint and caching layer are not shared between clients.
As I can't reply to the child - that makes sense it is for embeddings. So would GPT3 still need to be used combined with this then?
It's a give and take.

We have an open floor plan in our main living area. It's a "give" in that I am able to watch my children playing in the common area from the kitchen. It's a "take" in that if I am cooking with the exhaust fan on, there's no way you can hear the TV.

It's also a take in the sense that when people come over, they see the mess in the kitchen if there is one. Sometimes a door is nice that way.

Elon just tweeted from Apple HQ and is meeting with Tim Cook. Elon also deleted the tweet meme that he's going to war over the 30%.

All talk and no substance, this thing won't go anywhere. Elon probably got what he wanted from Apple and everything else is just fud for the masses. Elon does not care the 30% or what Apple does in China. He wants Twitter to stay in the app store and Apple to pay for advertising on Twitter.

They're fine when you've got a huge amount of square footage to spare, for the number of people in the house. A common time to realize how much nicer some walls and doors would be is after having kids. Walls and doors let you have a larger number of occupants living in a given space without sacrificing comfort.

Our house has an open kitchen + living room + entryway + stairway, and that's not so bad—because we also have a huge basement, four bedrooms for 2 adults + 3 kids, two extra rooms that are walled off with doors (we had to add the doors, though...), et c. So that open space is OK, because we have way more house than we'd need to be similarly-comfortable if it were better laid out, including having more walls and doors.

I'd say there is an effect, but there are compound issues at hand. Another issue is that it's just damn hard to raise money right now either through debt or issuing stocks. Someone very close to me just got laid off at Volta because they were in an expansionist mindset but you need easy money to pull that off.

Easy money is gone. Companies that balanced their budget without the need for debt to continue to operate are OK.
> What they're saying is that it happens. Constantly.

And I’m personally not okay with that when it comes to the work I do.

It was a personally very eye opening experience to drive around with a guy who built homes. He'd point out every house he worked on, even ones 30 years ago and you could tell he was really, truly proud of his work and showing it off.

I realised if someone asked to see my past work it simply doesn't exist in any meaningful capacity. I take pride in my work, but it doesn't exist long term like his does. I want that same kind of satisfaction he had, but there's no way for me to get it. His work lasts a lifetime and makes the lives of people better, mine lasts a few years at best and often doesn't.
Fair enough, I’ll take your word on what the law says.

What if I live in an area where there’s only one hospital and it doesn’t take Medicare, do I just need to watch what I say so I don’t piss them off and they deny me life saving treatment? Even if that may happen to be legal, is that what the law should be?

Category theory is to functional/declarative programming what design patterns are to OO programming.

This is incorrect.

"Based on a massive-scale experiment involving millions of Twitter users, a fine-grained analysis of political parties in seven countries, and 6.2 million news articles shared in the United States, this study carries out the most comprehensive audit of an algorithmic recommender system and its effects on political content. Results unveil that the political right enjoys higher amplification compared to the political left."

Arguably from a mathematical perspective, the choice of ‘+’ is poor as it implies that the operation is commutative when it’s only associative. Julia used “foo” * “bar” for this reason:

You take the department's three strongest programmers and have them browse through the candidate's github (or equivalent code sharing site) for an hour and then grade them on a scale from 1 to 5. Candidates without github get zero points. Hire the candidates with the highest average score. It's that easy. The problem for most companies is that they don't know who their strongest programmers are.
In the defense of 19th century scientists, the best approximate solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations really did predict that mechanical aircraft should not be able to fly, curve balls should not curve in the air, and so on.

It was not until 1904 that Ludwig Prandtl published Über Flüssigkeitsbewegung bei sehr kleiner Reibung (On the Motion of Fluids in Very Little Friction) which first discovered the importance of boundary layers. The breakdown of approximations in those boundary layers allows for all sorts of behaviors that came as a surprise. In time science caught up up with practical engineering advances to finally understand how airplanes can fly, pitchers can throw curve balls, and so on. And even so, those old approximations are still used because they are mostly right!

So they were wrong, but it wasn't gibberish either.

For a similar example of a mostly correct scientific theory producing wrong results, until near the end of the 20th century the linear wave model predicted that rogue waves were impossible. Today we can look back at shipwreck records and laugh at their stupidity. But in fact you can spend a week looking at every wave that passes a point and probably won't find even a single wave that doesn't fit the theory.

Scientific overconfidence in well-tested theories is a systemic error that we are likely to always be prone to. Most of the time it is well justified. But we do nobody a favor by dismissing past examples of this as "gibberish".
Unfortunately, top-down mandates are imperfect and should be avoided as much as possible. Net profit matters to an operator who cares about today's profitability, but not at all to someone whose paradigm is "thinking in bets" and future payoffs. And the street has been rewarding people who ignore today's profits in favor of the narrative about tomorrow's growth.

From afar, it looks like Meta's leadership is a bunch of future thinkers who got told to cut today's costs, and it's not a well-practiced muscle for them.
Ha, that would explain that question. My first reaction was mostly confusion as there is so much prior art at this point, i.e. fingerprinting through installed add-ons, resolution/window size/system language, browser language, IP locality etc. There are even demo pages around which shows you just how unique your configuration is even without anything else.

Agreed. I've had the same HP color laser printer for over a decade and it's still working well. I've only had to replace the toner cartridges once or twice. Before that, I went through at least 3 inkjet printers that all failed because the ink dried out.

So bullies are people that stress the societal boundaries of acceptable behavior.

The advocacy of violence in response is a further stepping over of a societal boundary, essentially the same one used by bullies.

So the boundaries are crossed, both legal, institutional, and societal.

But you want to be pedantic about "problem statements"? That firearms and school shootings are some boundary that is fantastical and doesn't get crossed in the real world (that is, the USA conception of the real world)?

You want boundaries on the problem statement, which is about using violent extralegal means to address violent extralegal threats?

What a bizarre comment. Like, you don't think gangs exist? You don't think bullies who crave power and strength don't crave strength in numbers? You don't think gun violence exists, exists at schools?

Are you in some fantasy land where BJJ is the solution for world peace? Are you some gun nut scared that this will cross into gun control? Are you just some spectrum resident pendant/troll?

Weird.

>I genuinely do not understand the logic of cutting this team to save costs.

I've been in a situation where a company was under pressure, was trying to make a big pivot, and there where multiple rounds of layoffs.

At one point I could only make sense of it by picturing a somewhat blind lumberjack getting an order that says "There's a forest that needs 15% of trees cut. Go cut." Good trees get get, bad trees get cut. Thankfully we are not trees and if we get cut we can move on. We don't die just because we got chopped down.
In the same boat as your previous self, thanks for this timely reminder.

That was horrific and so deeply tragic. Without diminishing that I would say this kind of event is extremely exceptional and there's an enormous bar to a police officer even carrying a weapon in the UK and that was an Mi5 failure.
And even when it's legal, it's often not "by right". So you end up with restrictions against e.g. renting out both the main house and the ADU.
