Nothing wrong with ASGs, but they're not really comparable to k8s. k8s isn't simply "scaling", it's a higher level of abstraction that has granular control and understanding of your application instances in a manner that allows it to efficiently spread workloads across all your hardware automatically, all while managing service discovery, routing, lb, rollbacks and countless more. Comparing it to ASG suggests you may not be that familiar with k8s.

I think it's fair to argue that k8s is overkill for many or even most organizations, but ASG is not even close to an alternative.

As miles pointed out, the risk is not that they lose your data. The risk is that you lose your account.

They don’t owe you a data download if they decide to terminate the business relationship which they can do at any time without notice or cause. You agree to this when you sign up.

Not having backups of important data in your own possession is just plain stupid. You’re paying them to be online 24/7 and speak IMAP/SMTP, not to archive your data in perpetuity.

Email hosting and backups are different services.
AFAIK (and I have looked) no free options have all of the following features: support for custom domains, support for imap, a decent amount of storage.

Most users don't need all of those things, but there is a niche that does, and are willing to pay a little bit to get it.

When I say "release" I mean "release to users". You can release stuff to other developers, no problem. But it should all come with large warnings saying "This is not for daily use". The failure is when distros like Fedora start not only shipping it, but then saying they're going to drop the working alternative before Wayland is actually ready to do everything that X does.

(Also, I don't use Wayland. I mean I tried it out but don't see any real benefit so I don't use it regularly.)

This is a technically interesting project, but is there any situation at all where it's worth using? It seems like it just allows you to build airtag-like devices that sorta work on the Find-My network with some rough edges, but I can buy proper AirTag clones in various form factors for a couple bucks - far cheaper than I could ever make a custom bluetooth device using this project. Am I missing a use-case?
I don't think the total assets under management is the correct indicator. Vanguard, Big 5 Canadian banks, and even Power Corp cater not only to consumers but also to institutional investors and ultra high net worth individuals. Wealthsimple, to the best of my knowledge, is purely consumer-facing. It is not competing for the same markets as the other ones. Its parent company Power Corp, which is competing in the same area, has an AUM that is comparable to the Big 5 banks. I wonder if there is enough public data to compare consumer products in isolation.

I looked into Purelymail when searching around for good email solution. Google Workspace was getting a bit costly and there were too many things I did not need.

Zoho Mail provides another option - $1.95 per month I think for my use where I am (AU) and has all the features I need for my small indie business.

One other option I tried was to actually run mail myself with Linode VPS - https://mailinabox.email/

I know it sounds a little scary at the start running your own thing, but so far it's been working out great - zero issues so far. I may turn off Zoho one day and go fully into self-hosted option.

This isn't a limitation, this is critically dangerous. Commercial AI is a centralized, controlled, biased LLM. At what point will someone train it to say something they want people to believe? How can it be trusted?

Having worked in banking for many years (no longer), I can say with confidence, the big banks have a giant moat: regulation.

They want to be heavily regulated so that new upstart competitors will not come in and spoil their cozy space. And it’s easy to justify because terrorism, money laundering, insider trading, etc etc. And many of these regulations are largely ineffective and easily worked around, whilst costing billions to the banks to comply with. Hence the moat.

We won’t get banking disruption until there’s banking deregulation.

Once upon a time XFree86 and Xorg updated the pointer directly in a SIGIO handler. But that's ancient history at this point, and nowadays I wouldn't expect Wayland and Xorg to have a hugely different situation in this area.

IIRC it all started going downhill in Xorg when glamour appeared. After the cursor rendering path wasn't async-safe for execution from the signal handler (which something opengl-backed certainly wouldn't be), the latency was worse.

I remember when even if your Linux box was thrashing your mouse pointer would stay responsive, and that was a reliable indicator of if the kernel was hung or not. If the pointer prematurely became unresponsive, it was because you were on an IDE/PATA host and needed to enable unmask irq w/hdparm. An unresponsive pointer in XFree86 was that useful of a signal that something was wrong or misconfigured... ah, the good old days.

“Nearly perfect” is cherry-picked from the sentence

> First off, we evaluate the Qwen2.5-1M models on the Passkey Retrieval task with a context length of 1 million tokens. The results show that these models can accurately retrieve hidden information from documents containing up to 1M tokens, with only minor errors observed in the 7B model.

Interesting to see that this project is actually getting done. I only had seen videos describing it as a boondoggle pushed by MBS for marketing himself and the country. But it seems like they’ve literally excavated a giant portion of land for The Line.

My question is - how will they grow food for this city? Is it going to all be imported? Or grown indoors in vertical farms? Or is the soil exposed by excavation actually suitable for farming?
There are several potential mutual fund problems, but the ones most consumers are exposed to arise from institutional and private "investment advisors". There is no legal protection from banks externalizing toxic assets acquired though risky decisions onto customers, and or ridiculous ballooning management fees siphoning off actual profit. The other issues are mostly from various end-runs around acceptable market rules and practices.

In general, most amateur holds permute well below 3 to 4 months on average. Note the old joke: "Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered"... was never funny for those providing cash capital to gamblers.

Government fiat currencies have fundamental value because their taxes are denominated in their fiat currency, while their fiat currency is used to compensate the public sector for their labor. If you, as a private citizen, want to avoid the consequences of not paying your taxes (e.g. prison), you best find a way to get your hands on some of the fiat currency that has entered the economy via the public sector workers.

For a cryptocoin to have fundamental value, someone must be willing to accept it as payment. The only entities willing to do so currently are criminal enterprises and perhaps the El Salvadoran government (to pay taxes). All the other uses (like cross-border payments) rely on speculators on both ends providing liquidity for the exchange to fiat currency.

From my vantage point, with accounts in both Canada and the US, the US market seems hard to disrupt because its financial sector is already highly competitive.

Meanwhile Canada has long been completely dominated by 5 or 6 massive big banks that charge high fees for basic chequing accounts, and where credit card perks are far stingier than in the US…

The financially industry is being _pretty massively disrupted_ by Wealthsimple.

- They have a cash account (~checking/savings hybrid) that pays much better interest than all the big banks

- They offer zero-commission trades on Canadian and US stocks and ETFs

- They appear to be preparing a wide rollout of a credit card which offers 2% cash-back on everything (there are few Canadian credit cards that offer more than 1% cashback as a "base rate")

This is just totally wrong. Full stop. Today's devices are unimaginably orders of magnitude faster than the computers of old. To suggest otherwise is absolutely absurd, either pure ignorance or a denial of reality. I'm quite blown away that people so confidently state something that's so easily demonstrated as incorrect.
What are the “obvious reasons?” It seems to me the obvious reasons are that the claim is that illegal immigration has been blamed for outbreaks of diseases that are relatively uncommon in the U.S. and publishing the full details would provide evidence supporting that claim.

But if that is what happened, then why not publish those details? If that isn’t what happened, then why not publish those details? Facts are always preferred to conjuncture.

No, the article says that the suppliers send data to a central service, which then tells them the optimal price, this service bases this price based on data sent by all other suppliers, and presumably gives all suppliers the same price.

> They couldn’t have cost much to keep running.

It cost at the very least the salary of a software engineer, though most likely a lot more. Autodesk is not some passion project of a group of volunteers who just want to keep it up. At large companies, I have seen few models of how to run public facing legacy services that don’t “align” with the company any more and as a result there is very little interest in them. They are all expensive in terms of personal and always a potential PR disaster to manage. Doubly so if it’s something that requires moderation like a forum.

You have the “there is a dedicated team for ‘legacy stuff’. They just inherit all dead end projects in the company”. If you are gonna have that model, that teams scope is ever growing, and so is their size. It’s not a shiny job either. “I maintain projects no one cares about” is not interesting or shiny and most good people will move to something else.

There is also the “since you started it, you own it now” approach. Where the virtual team that started a service, will sort of own it forever. It’s this thing that just hover over a team’s shoulder forever. Though “forever” usually means until a manager comes along who is loud enough about not wanting to deal with that shit anymore. It only causes issues when things go down, break, need updating, etc and they don’t want to work on that anymore.

There is the “the ownership of this random ass service will fall wherever we randomly draw and redraw random organizational lines. It’ll keep forever bouncing between random teams as no one cares about it, and no one wants it, and everyone argues that “it actually belong in fabric because it’s the only remaining consumer of their v2 APIs”, “fabric thinks this is more business layer because its main audience are end customers”, “business unit thinks it’s actually more UX as it’s running on the same domain”

And there is always the looming PR issue when an eventual issue happens, a ton of infighting over the lack of clear ownership and once they are over that, the person who has to fix it has no idea what this thing is and needs to get up to speed. Then you get a post on top of HN or Reddit or twitter etc saying “{Insert multimillion/billion dollar company random service} has been down for a week” and a lot of people like “seriously, they can’t figure out how to run that? I run one just for my ham group and it never goes down”

Why bother is usually the final approach.
My thought has been they are forcing it knowing nobody, as in 98% of people, would give a crap about most of the AI features. People have been using these tools for decades now to solve their problems and there's a lot of muscle memory to overcome even if the 'new way' were in fact better. I myself have found I only adopt new software, and techniques (including things like using/learning keyboard shortcuts, etc), that's a minimum of 2X better/faster than my de facto personal preference or legacy approach of tackling the problem. And, even if >10X, if it's something I do infrequent I still won't be interested in changing my ways. I have a lot of muscle memory that goes into how I build something like a new spreadsheet, even complicated ones. I'm not interested in putting AI into that process.

I have a grandfather that actually took an early retirement package, age 55, specifically because company gave him an ultimatum regarding switching from typewriter to a PC in the 80s. I feel like AI is pushing me towards making that same choice, I don't really care for using it in my work specifically (have no ultimatum at present).

I use it sparsely and it's more of a toy/novelty to me. Although, I do see how it helps other fields more/less and could replace humans in some professions - I'm not a SWE.
Paypal was dominant then. Stripe was PayPal with simpler onboarding.

Airbnb is a favorite textbook example of VCs being wrong. They were rejected early on because people were thinking it's risky to rent out your house to strangers, and well, motels exist. But I think that's always been a blind spot with VCs - they just don't understand what it's like to be broke. Airbnb pivoted quite a bit from what made them big; they used to have top tier hosts and hospitality for much cheaper, now they're just alternative motels with no free breakfast.
