Why would it?

As encryption and other privacy technologies become more widespread, so too have those who take advantage of them for the sake of enabling their anti-social behaviors. It also allows people with anti-social behaviors to coordinate in ways that are increasingly hidden from the groups they are working against.

So yeah, people are going to have an increasingly negative response to something they generally used to have neutral-to-positive responses to.

No one should be surprised that this is the case, least of the very people advocating for more (and more widely available) privacy tools! Ubiquitous privacy leads to ubiquitous distrust. After all, how do people know someone is trustworthy? By being able to see their actions, and see how they compare to their stated intentions. A mismatch between stated intentions and actions is evidence that a person is not trustworthy; the more of their actions they can hide from others, the more duplicitous they can be without being discovered.

Put differently, and more personally: In my face-to-face interactions, I may have never met a person before, but I can still "vibe check" them based on the wealth of side channels available to my senses and intuition. It's subject to my own personal biases and things, but I have come to trust my intuitions. Online, I have next to none of those same contextual clues, so my default is to just not trust anyone. If I choose to do something online that requires trust, I appreciate the fact that people have online histories; and if someone has chosen to scrub theirs, this isn't so much of a red flag as it is a reason to not diverge from the status quo. So when I imagine the world that privacy advocates want, where you know nothing about anyone that isn't voluntarily disclosed, I see a vary dark, mistrustful place where effective social cooperation has been utterly neutered. Even when people are willing to share information that "validates" their trustworthiness, the fact that _all_ information about them would be voluntarily disclosed convinces me that it would be so curated as to be useless for the task. This is made even worse if you imagine the deniable authentication folks get their way.

I also personally believe that the effective anonymity of the internet is in large part behind the decay of trust in general, for many of the same reasons. We no longer trust each other because we know so little about each other; and what we do know we trust less and less, because it's becoming increasingly easier to hide or curate that information. Online privacy advocates have already largely gotten their wish: it's not terribly difficult to be anonymous online, and I think our online discourse has been decimated as a result. Obviously not only due to accessible anonymity, but it's certainly a substantial factor.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of my interactions online these days are with people I've never seen before and will never see again. And the people I do recognize are generally the people I'm least inclined to want to interact with (i.e. basically any Twitter personality). It's all pretty fucked up, if you ask me

I agree, but what pisses me the most is that today higher level abstractions (like cloud, spring boost,...) are hiding lower level functionality so well, that you are literally forced to use obnoxious amounts of time to study documentation (if you are in luck and it is well written), while everything is decorated with new naming of known concepts that was invented by people who didn't know that the concept already exists and has a name or some marketing guy figured out it will sell better with more "cool" name.

Like Shakespeare work would be clumsy and half translated to french advertising jargoon and you are forced to read it and make it work on a stage.

I don't know, I've installed openwrt on each device I've owned especially because their original firmware wasn't supported anymore (or crap to begin with).

Often because the cheap devices were either all I could afford or because I've even gotten them for free or basically free, like on flea markets.
But this isn't the same, though? People might be more than happy to share information with you, but they're probably not too keen on giving you ownership over it or anything else they might own. There is a bit of a difference between "access to my information" and "control over it", and you're kind of conflating the two
There are likely hundreds of employees with access to this information within the company, and thousands of third party employees.

I work as an analyst for a marketing company that fulfills gift/award points/miles for people who have opted into the loyalty programs for all the major airlines, hotel chains, fuel reward affiliates. We have data granular to the minute in a continuous feed.

I can only imagine that there are numerous opportunities for exfiltration along this chain. Personally, I make enough to never consider breaching protocol, but there are a dozen contacts in my sphere that are temps or contractors that deliver the data to us, I could imagine that the DEA offering double or more than their base salary with little danger of discovery would be tempting.

The European Union has the Cyber Resilience Act, which will most likely become effective / mandatory by the end of 2027.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber_Resilience_Act

Skimming the regulation text, it seems it requires the manufacturer of a connected device to report on and quickly fix vulnerabilities within the device's "support period". The support period for device classes still has to be determined, but it seems it is a vital requirement for a device to get a CE certification (without which it otherwise is not allowed to be put on the EU market).

I don't think that's a reasonable expectation in general, and certainly not in this case. The affected TVs were all at least 20 years old - that's well beyond the expected useful lifespan of even a modern TV, let alone an older model like these. Nor is it clear what Sony could reasonably have done to repair them; even by 2010, a lot of the parts used in CRT TVs were out of production and unavailable.

Yeah, it's not very smart. I'm at a company with a $50B+ MC and we run prod on a cluster, staging on another one, then it's tooling clusters like dev spaces, ML, etc. I think in total we have 6 of 7 for ~1000 devs and thousands of nodes.

Raw typing speed is not a blocker to being a good programmer. However, I've generally found that if someone types fast (and uses shortcuts especially in his editor), it usually a sign that he's done a lot of it and that has proven to be a decent proxy for coding experience. This is specifically for junior developers.
What's wrong about it, exactly?
I don’t mind the cloud, but even in enterprise organisations I fail to see the value of a lot of the more complex tools. I’ve anlways worked with Azure because Denmark is basically Microsoft territory in a lot of non-tech organisations because of the synergy between pricing and IT operations staff.

I’ve done bicep, terraform and both Kubernetes and the managed (I forgot what azure conteiner apps running on top of what is basically Kubernetes is called). When I can get away with it I always use the Azure CLI through bash scripts in a pipeline however and build directly into Azure App services for contained which is just so much less complicated than what you probably call “cloud shit”. The cool part about the Azure CLI and their app services is that it hasn’t really changed in the past 3 years, and they are almost one size fit any organisation. So all anyone needs to update in the YAML scripts are the variables. By contrast working with Bicep/Terraform, Jenkins and whatever else people use has been absolutely horrible, sometimes requiring full time staff just to keep it updated. I suppose it may be better now that azure co-pilot can probably auto-generate what you need. A complete waste of resources in my opinion. It used to be more expensive, but with the last price hike of 600% on azure container apps it’s usually cheaper. It’s also way more cost efficient in terms of maintaining since it’ll just work after the initial setup pipeline has run. This is the only way I have found that is easier than what it was when organisations ran their own servers. Whether it was in the basement or at some local hardware house (not exactly sure what you call the places where you rent server rack space). Well places like Digital Ocean are even easier but they aren’t used by enterprise.

I’m fairly certain I’ve ever worked with an organisation that needed anything more than that since basically nothing in Denmark scales beyond what can run on a couple of servers behind a load balancer. One of the few exceptions is the tax system which sees almost 0 usage except for the couple of weeks where the entire adult population logs in in at the same time. When DevOps teams push back, I tend to remind them that StackOverflow ran on a couple of IIS servers for a while and that they don’t have even 10% of the users.

Eventually the business case for Azure will push people back to renting hardware space or jumping to Hetzner and similar. But that’s a different story.

RE: slow autoscaling

Maybe the cloud companies could do something here by always keeping a small subset of machines online and ready to join the cluster. Provided there is some compromise in what the configuration is for the end user. I guess it doesn't solve image pulling. Pre-warming nodes is an annoying problem to solve.

Best solution I've been able to come up with is: Spegel (lightweight p2p image caching) + Karpenter (dynamic node autoscaling) + pods with low priority to hold onto some extra nodes. It's not perfect though

This is interesting. I haven't watched the whole talk so please ignore this if it's discussed there.

Personally I hate tooling for one language written in another. I hate python used to generate C++. I hate go used to generate C++ or JavaScript. Every added language adds more knowledge needed to contribute.

For every 1000 JS developers and every 1000 Zig developers there are 25 that know both. Only those developers can modify the system.

Further, you double the dependencies. JS pulls in library to do X that requires 50 dependencies, Zig pulls in a library to do X that requires 50 dependencies.

You also have 2 toolchains to maintain.

And you have 2 dev environments to maintain. Get all your editors/IDEs to understand both language. Get double your checkers, double your testing, etc etc.

You effectively increase the tech debt exponentially.
One of my favorite Mark Twain quotes comes from one of his correspondences: 'My apologies for such a long letter, I hadn't the time to write a short one.'
Exactly. I've come to describe k8s as a distributed operating system for servers.

K8s tries to abstract away individual "servers" and gives you an API to interact with all the compute/storage in the cluster.

Dayymn, this ended like a bad Shyamalan movie; i have no idea if I should continue to guzzle my coffee or abandon asap
I feel like OP would've been much better off if they just reworked their cluster into something sensible instead of abandoning K8s completely.

I've worked on both ECS and K8s, and K8s is much better. All of the problems they listed were poor design decisions, not k8s limitations.

- 47 Clusters: This is insane. They ack it in the post, but they could've reworked this.

- Multi-cloud: It's now not possible with ECS, but they could've limited complexity with just single-cloud k8s.
Maybe you're too young to remember, but people used to keep TVs for much longer periods before HDTV and flat panels came out.

Also, these TVs are apparently fire hazards. It doesn't matter that they're 20 years old (at the point of the "recall" in 2010).

I doubt the parts necessary to fix them were out of production; you can get parts for truly ancient electronics still. Things like capacitors don't become obsolete. The recall doesn't specify exactly which component is problematic, but says it's age-related, which usually points to capacitors.
I like how the author says that Kubernetes has a vendor lock in, yet suggests a GCP managed service as their preferred alternative.

I understand that they're trying to fix a perceived problem. In the case of the people pushing the 10 Commandments in schools, they earnestly believe they're going to solve teen pregnancy, drug usage, etc. Saying that they're virtue signalling ignores the problem and strawmans the reason for their proposal. Saying why their policy won't work and another will addresses the problem.
> This is so weird. They are mad that they didn't get paid for voluntarily participating in a program that never offered any pay?

Companies have been getting ever bolder about abusing volunteer and crowd sourced labor. When the participants are bound by strict NDAs, I think some skepticism is in order.

All we really can tell is that non-neglibigle percentage of the participants in a limited access program were creeped out enough to be willing to blow up their access to call attention to it.

I don't think this story is really even about AI at all, but about labor practices.
Because new people don't know better - I've never used k8s, but have seen sidecars being promoted as a good thing, so I might have used them
the security is really not just memory safety from its lifetime & borrow checker.

it is that from language perspective, without writing unsafe, you won't have hit undefined behaviors, while provides same level performance of C++

even with unsafe code (usually needed because of performance need), there are very clear guidelines, and tooling (miri) to help check against undefined behaviors

the pain part of C++ is that i would never be confident enough to say i didn't write some undefined behaviors by mistake/accident, and requires extra tools like UBSAN in runtime to find them (C++'s miri)

however most of the time i don't need to run miri when writing rust, as they are slow for large enough project, unless i write unsafe, where it can be well scoped to be run with miri

another aspects rust put a lot efforts on is the soundness, that comes with the type system, that you know how to and when the code needs to handle errors when using someone else's code, so you never hit problems like NullException or silent racy conditions because thread safety comes with Send & Sync trait.

all these benefits just allow people to focus on the real problem, instead of wasting time on figuring out things like "oh this is undefined behavior", "oh it can return null in this case", "oh this function cannot be used in multithreading context", when the real problem to solve is something like "I need to send this trasaction to some background worker to be processed"
The IRA was able to extend the subsidies for Tesla because it had the considerable resources of the Fedetal government behind it. A state is going to have fewer resources, and so it makes sense to go back to the original and less-generous regime. More practically, Tesla has already received a lot of subsidies and now has large sales and economies of scale, so it’s not very practical for California to allocate limited resources to Tesla rather than companies that haven’t yet reached scalable production.

Of course the very best thing here would be for the Federal government to maintain the subsidies of the IRA, and then California wouldn’t have to step in with its more limited capabilities in the first place. If that’s important to Tesla, I’m sure they have someone who can talk to the incoming administration about it.
