People think it took less effort.

Right up until you needed to do one of the very many things k8s implements.

For example, in multiple previous employers, we had cronjobs: you just set up a cronjob on the server, I mean, really, how hard is that to do?

And that server was a single point of failure: we can't just spin up a second server running crond, obviously, as then the job runs twice. Something would need to provide some sort of locking, then the job would need to take advantage of that, we'd need the job to be idempotent … all of which, except the last, k8s does out of the box. (And it mostly forces your hand on the last.)

Need to reboot for security patches? We just didn't do that, unless it was something like Heartbleed where it was like "okay we have to". k8s permits me to evict workloads while obeying PDB — in previous orgs, "PDBs" (hell, we didn't even have a word to describe the concept) were just tribal knowledge known only by those of us who SRE'd enough stuff to know how each service worked, and what you needed to know to stop/restart it, and then do that times waaay too many VMs. With k8s, a daemonset can just handle things generically, and automatically.

Need to deploy? Pre-k8s, that was just bespoke scripts, e.g., in something like Ansible. If a replica failed to start after deployment, did the script cease deployment? Not the first time it brought everything down, it didn't: it had to grow that feature by learning the hard way. (Although I suppose you can decide that you don't need that readiness check in k8s, but it's at least a hell of a lot easier to get off the ground with.)

Need a new VM? What are the chances that the current one actually matches the Ansible, and wasn't snowflaked? (All it takes is one dev, and one point in time, doing one custom command!)

The list of operational things that k8s supports that are common amongst "I need to serve this, in production" things goes on.

The worse part of k8s thus far has been Azure's half-aaS'd version of it. I've been pretty satisfied with GKE, but I've only recently gotten to know it and I've not pushed it quite as hard as AKS yet. So we'll see.
the kool aid is strong with this one
Agree. I wonder how well it would handle mechanical design drawings. If it could, it might be very helpful in my industry, but our drawings have strict privacy restrictions.

Eventually I hope we’ll be able to able get a single high end server appliance to run an instance in house for such use cases.
> too profitable to not participate in

Sorry, but I really struggle to see how a non AI company will actually become more profitable simply by getting their employees to use ChatGPT. In fact, the more companies that use it, the more demand there will be for "human only" services.
I mean, it was an unfounded conspiracy theory before, wasn't it? When new evidence came about then it shifted into legitimacy. That's just how evidence works.
> Augustus a Roman emperor, was initiated into the mystery of two goddesses? What was that?

Yeah right? That is weird now. But I’m pretty sure the simplified version of what happened to that is is: christianity + germanic invasions..

> The Sage caste of india could just decide to self-immolate?

Fanatism has existed for a long time and “honorable suicide” too.. In that case it was about reincarnation.. I guess in modernity it’s less common because we have better options?

> Why Marcus Aurelius was so wise and unique?

I’m pretty sure he was not more wise and unique than lots of wise and unique people living today.. He just happened to be the literal emperor, and wrote a book. Also they had a Lot of really shitty emperors though..
It's already illegal to defraud someone into sending you money.
> a Binance employee knew about a $600 transaction

Said employee being the then chief compliance officer.

Your broad point is correct: Binance is not being dinged by the CFTC for money laundering or terrorist financing. But the allegations they hung out are far from trivial. (The core charge is also nontrivial, but for technical reasons.)
Just get a dedicated gaming rig that is only for gaming. I have one machine for browsing and general productivity which is more locked down, and another purely for games. And a third for all the illegal stuff.
> how an individual can feel like they’re actually doing something

That's going to depend on the individual. Some people feel just fine driving a hybrid automobile every day as their big contribution. Some people quit eating meat, quit flying, quit driving altogether, and some even protest. Of course there are many options and many different levels of guilt and helplessness that individuals deal with.

But perhaps you could address your need to feel like you're doing something. You don't have to do anything. You can give yourself some slack. This isn't a problem that you caused, and it's not a problem you're going to solve.

What do you do when a loved one is in the later stages of terminal cancer? Do you fret and feel like you need to do something? Do you yell at the doctors to try one last thing? Do you cry over loss? Maybe but eventually in a healthy person that will all end. Once someone is in hospice, it's time to work toward acceptance and appreciation and to try to enjoy the last bit of time left as much as one can. We're in a sort of planetary hospice situation right now.
Chat and videochat?
exactly. i hate this practice of just spraying logos all over with no context. give me 3 logos but each with a written case study or zoom conversation or even a tweet saying what they use it for and you get more trust than 100 logos
What metrics do you want to go by? At least by internet use and user growth the dotcom bubble still saw massive amounts of new user growth and online time by users.

Was there a massive reduction in completely untenable .com's? But I'm not exactly sure if that's the definition of a winter, plenty of other internet based businesses did fine and kept growing in that time.
This is horrifying in terms of scamming, ransom threats and phishing.
Eg calling as the CEO in the CEO's voice urgently asking for a password, wire or data.
People calling your family saying its you based on some youtube video, asking for immediate financial help.
People saying someone has been kidnapped and they need a ransom. This is uncommon in the US but happens all the time to elderly in places like Mexico. With this tech scammer cartels can control your voice from a prompt to muppet distressed requests to the people you care about. In my opinion, these type of services should be banned by some kind of regulation.
or too late.

you just described all big corp attempts at giving aws money.

keep the database and all the bugs and leaky abstractions and spaghetti code... but split and duplicate code in a dozen repos... done. microservices.
Only 1.2?

Definitely feels like much more.
For those interested, he's mostly talking about Jump. Jane Street and Cumberland DRW too possibly.
> Kubernetes is complex and I think they are partially right

Kubernetes is a distributed centralized operating system which itself depends on a distributed decentralized database, and has a varying network topology, permissions system, plugins, scheduler, storage, and much more, depending on how & where it was built, and runs applications as independent containerized environments (often deeply dependent on Linux kernel features) which can all have their own base operating systems. All of which must be maintained, upgraded, patched, and secured, separately, and frequently.

Kubernetes is literally the most complex single system that almost anyone in the world will ever use. It is the Katamari Damacy of the cloud.

> It allows dev teams to not worry about all these things; all they must do is to write a simple YAML file.

cackles, then sobs

> More importantly, teams no longer need to ask DevOps/infra folks to add DNS entry and create a Load Balancer just to expose a service.

more sobbing

> Should you use Kubernetes?

Should you change a tire with a crowbar, a can of WD40, and a lighter? Given an alternative, the alternative is usually better, but sometimes you don't have an alternative.
Yes, that's a great point. I was assuming, without really thinking about it, that the AI's still carry our historical baggage. We feed a large portion of that baggage to them as their training data, to see if they can impress us with human-like behaviors. Under those conditions, the AI's stand roughly the same chance as a human child of learning to think scientifically.

But that's not a hard requirement. I work for a company that makes sensors. Some of our lunchtime conversations have revolved around the idea of a colossal computer being given a plethora of sensors. In a science-fiction sense, in which we don't worry too much about the cost or practicality of doing so.
Greek statuary apparently had tremendous influence in Eurasia generally, including as far as Japan. The Greek wind god, Boreas, seems to have become (or at least been the source for depictions of) the Japanese wind god, Fūjin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C5%ABjin

Nobody so legit as the humble binance, should ever fear any investigation, right?
Uh you do realize "judicial review" is a thing. And also "judges completely ignoring the law" is another.

Civil law is an interesting solution to that problem. Lets go live to Paris, France to ask them how it's going!
We launched the playground.play.ht in beta to share the new speech model we are working on. We've been operating play.ht for a while and have teams from these companies using the platform.
The Greek authors naturally were not completely versed in the ins and outs of Indian traditions so they confused different social phenomena. There was no “Sage caste” but there were different orders of monks following different philosophies. They are loosely grouped together as Shramanas and they generally believed that this world was illusionary and full of suffering and the task of religion is to find a way out. Some of the more pessimistic ones thought that the only truly nonviolent way to do it is by suicide. This is an official dogma of Jainism to this day (though Darwin has moderated actual practice considerably.)

Sati is a different social custom from a much later time period.
It's like worrying about running out of stables for horses when cars already started to take over.

It's going to shift from requiring quality data to producing quality data.

There is not going to be need for it just like there is no need for more Kasparovs anymore.

You can see it with artists slowly happening.

Lawyers will get the hit (or great tool to use depending how you want to see it).

Medical analysis will find the same faith. If you think that medicine will require human analysis just imagine for a second what closed loop AI could do - if it had access to data not only from all hospitals but patients as well and being able to munch through it continuosly. This together with constant access to simulations and physical trials, finding patterns and correlations on its own.

It's exciting and depressing to think that humans will evantually be left to being humans the way they wish with everything sorted out - just like chickens don't mind being free range chickens.

There is no other direction it can go and it'll just go faster.

Our generation will see some mind blowing things.

Next generation will arrive at the world unlike anything else.

5-6 GHz is a party trick of low core count CPUs (e.g. 4 or 8 cores) that use 250+ W of power to get less than twice the performance they can get at 25 W.

There is a sixty four core OoO RISC-V chip (SG2042) being demoed on a dev board in the last weeks. It runs at 2.0 GHz and has quite a bit of aggregate performance, at lower energy usage than an 8 core i9 running at 6 GHz.
Production is as easy as you (and your users) will tolerate.
Without talking about WFH vs RTO, I have to comment about the “commute” and the attitudes towards it.

Every article discussing this issue imagines the commute to be a static, never changing situation as if it were a law of nature.

IOW, even the idea of maybe improving transportation, and housing, so that people can live close to where offices would be located and/or improve transportation options so your commute isn’t a 30 min drive if you’re lucky, but could also be a comfortable and safe bike ride, easy bus transportation in a dedicated lane, or clean and modern subways, isn’t even considered.

The real tragedy isn’t WFH vs RTO. The real tragedy is that Americans have built a country where stepping out of your home once a day is a miserable chore to be avoided at all costs if possible.
It is like reading the news or a study paper but you know it is correct because a robot is telling you. This is the closest thing to a prophet people will have. Go downvote me.
Every sunset sees the point of no return

Once the passions cool and boards realize they could juice EPS by $0.02/share by closing the offices the debate will be over and those that can will be working from home. All data points to increased or equivalent productivity, and “office culture” is not a fiduciary duty, but maximizing shareholder value is.

Thanks to the folks who replied! Looks like I didn't dig far enough into GNU Make. It's got a lot of the functionality I'm looking for (and I just didn't realize it). Hopefully I don't need to use it, but it even has an "eval" function for dynamically generating its own input.
Yes banks offer this through a network with others banks,and they have reciprocity so if I puts $250k in another members bank they put $250k in my bank so the members banks don't really "lose" deposits. Net, the deposits can be used by the bank in the same way they usually are.

A sweep account is a very common business account and most banks offer this, if you don't pick it based on your balances they'll call you up and try and sell you this service. SVB strangely did not have this product for some reason.
> I don't want to relearn how to do for and if-statements.

…so you'll learn the weird details of render(…), learn how to manage updating a whole extra DOM on top of the existing browser DOM, learn to deal with the abstraction leaks of shouldComponentUpdate, React.PureComponent, useMemo, useCallback, and concurrent mode…

…just so you can avoid learning {#if}{/if} and {#each}{/each}. Got it. TOTALLY makes sense.

I don't want children, but I understand that societal systems correctly value children (both emotionally and shrewdly) more than other costly choices, like hobbies or professional ambitions. I happily pay the portion of my taxes that go to supporting children and child-having (directly or indirectly).
Your company "saves" over 100k/month paying WAY too much for EKS, which is extremely expensive.

If you're at any decent scale (looks like you are), then switch to GKE, or switch to on-prem and buy some hardware + a Kubernetes distro like Mirantis/Openshift/Tanzu.

Heck, go run k3s on Hetzner and you won't have that much more work, but save literally millions at the scale you're talking about.
No, that is not the most horrifying thing about it. The most horrifying thing about communism is the close to 100 million people who have already died in the pursuit of this ideology. While national socialism has been nearly universally relegated to the pile of bad ideas not to be tried again international socialism - which is the precursor to communism but in reality the end stage since the 'classless society' promised by communism has been proven to be impossible - just keeps on popping up again and again with nearly identical and equally disastrous results, time and time again.

These far post-date the engineering constructions in Rome and Greece--not to mention Egypt and other bronze age civilization, including the Indus River Valley civilization itself. Its clear from ancient texts and stories like the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and the Bhagavata Purana that the Aryans were a nomadic, tribal cow-herding people who didn't tend to live in fixed structures. At some point people starting creating permanent structures, and they are architectural marvels of course, but those achievements do not seem to co-ordinate with the vedic mathematics in the same way that Greek, Egyptian, and Roman mathematics co-ordinate with Greek, Egyptian, and Roman engineering marvels.
India’s new non profit government sponsored commerce facilitator ONDC is something to follow in this space. Like UPI, but for meatspace logistics vs instant payments and charging substantially less than Uber and Lyft (3% vs 30%, broadly speaking). If successful, I expect the model to spread vs “Big Tech Boom and Capture”.

> I find it striking that there are still so many people downplaying the latest developments of AI.

5-7 years ago the progress with self driving cars seemed enormous, and the end of driving was just around the corner. And then all progress seemed to stall or recede, and it turned out that what seemed like huge progress was mostly hot air.

Maybe that’s not what happening now, but I don’t think a cautious approach is unwarranted.
Perhaps this was intentional, or supported by having teachers and a stronger oral history/tradition? Just as with Buddhism, I always felt there wasn't as much of a clear divide between philosophy and science as you find in western thought. You seem more well versed than I in this topic, so thought I would throw this out there in case you have any insight into this (or I easily could be misinterpreting).
Requiring KYC at mixers lol. That's crazy. The best solution is to go after terrorists and not redistribute the consequences of their actions to innocent people. I should be able to trade anonymously if I want to. Those proposals are really no different then the EU's chat control.
So far I’ve only visited Italy once, but your account rhymes well with what I’ve read about Italian coffee culture.

One thing I’m curious about:

Is ristretto and lungo popular in Italy? Or is that also mostly for tourist spots?
It's probably been about a decade since I used Windows as well so this is probably just my memory, but I don't remember anything special about file manager.

specifically which men are malicious or bumbling?

The only thing I can think of that's even close is that Augustín gets stung by some bees in the opening and then again later as a callback, which is mostly just so we can see that Julieta can heal people. Bruno is maybe shown to be cowardly but then he risks his life multiple times to save other characters and rushes to take the blame for something that's not his fault to protect Mirabel.

Other than that I'm at a complete loss.

So, what do you do when one of your pods suddenly cannot connect to another, even though both nodes seem to be passing healthchecks and stuff?

Spinning up a K8s cluster "in the cloud" is easy and everyone jumps on that happy "look how simple it all is" bandwagon, forgetting than it's just the beginning of a very long journey. There are millions of blog articles of varying quality that explain how easy it is, because it's very simple to spam search engines retelling a story how to click a couple buttons or do some basic Terraform/CloudFormation/whatever.

And here's what they don't tell you - maintaining this machinery is still your business, because all you get is a bunch of provisioned node machines and a cookiecutter to spin it up. Plus a bunch of scripts to handle most common scenarios (scaling, upgrading, some basic troubleshooting, etc). The rest is either on your or tech support (if you pay extra for it). And if you have a sysadmin-for-hire contract anyway, then its them who should have an opinion what's easy and what's hard. Contracting other people is always relatively easy - compared to what they do.

> If you ever push anything to a public Github repository it is immediately mirrored by a host of bots.

I'd love to get a copy of the key, so I can setup a demo to encourage education.

> That said, if I'm honest I think almost no one checks the SSH host key. I would bet that for 9 out of 10 engineers / devops / security people, they will ignore the SSH Host Key and might even set StrictHostKeyChecking=no.

I believe you, and I agree this is common. I have been carrying the github host keys in my dot files for more than a decade. I do this somewhat ergonomically by having a Host config that adjusts the known_hosts path to permanent_known_hosts for things I care about.

Setting StrictHostKeyChecking=no is negligence, despite being common there really isn't two ways about that, it's a trivial vector with only a very moderate need for additional information to turn this into an RCE in most cases.

There are big problems with ssh's host keys, I understand and agree, but there are also big problems with passwords and we've made a dent in getting people to use password managers and 2FA. We should not wave this away just because it's a little harder, otherwise we're just relegating ssh to the same status as gpg.
The point I'm trying to make here is that it's very possible the answer to the question of, "Why is my life so difficult?" to be, "Ten years ago you made a really bad choice for you and there's no real way around that."

That choice, for may, could be the choice to have children, deciding to stay in a HCOL area, going to college (specifically taking out loans to do so) etc.

SVB made "safe" bets on 10 yr T notes and it ended up being wrong. Individuals making "safe" bets on getting married, going to college, having kids, may also be making bad life choices for them. I think at least we should have that conversation...
having children is the default state of humans, society needs to optimize for that. not treat it as a bad decision with negative consequences.
