If you're implementing a distributed system that needs to manage many custom resources (of whatever kind, not Kubernetes-specific), implementing a Kubernetes controller for it can save a great deal of development time and give you a better system in the end, with standard built-in observability, manageability, deployment automation, and a whole lot else.

It's certainly true that some use of Kubernetes is overkill. But if you actually need what it offers, it can be a game-changer. That's a big reason why it caught on so fast in big enterprises.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that because you don't understand the need for something, that the need doesn't exist.
Ah yes, the real paperclip doomsday scenario. As was foretold.
I think there is a point to the authors remark on user-friendlyness.

It should be possible to improve the containerization experience by providing a better UI and maybe even a different syntax for docker files.

You can go and see a Concorde at Bristol Aerospace Museum[0], and walk inside it.

There is an absolutely bewildering array of dials and switches exposed to the pilots[1].

And they have lots of other aviation stuff at the museum, it's not just Concorde. Other highlights include some very early planes, cut-away jet engines, and a cut-away section of a jumbo jet fuselage, so you can see the locations of pipes, tubes, cargo, etc. in relation to the seats. It is well worth a visit if you're nearby.

Both are bad, compared to Linux distro packaging.
I think both 'sap' and 'zap' work in this context, and zap might be the better option because 'sap' can have the additional meaning of moving the energy somewhere else, whereas 'zap' can just mean to remove in general.
Aren't all Microsoft launches disasters?
Concorde used to fly over our house (landing at Manchester airport, I think?), and it was something of an event for our household of plane geeks, but happened fairly regularly.

These days I see Airbus A380s taking off and landing from Heathrow over the house almost daily and that never ceases to amaze me, mainly that humans built something so enormous that can actually fly.
You’d need to provide more information regarding why you think balance is needed, and why you think an oligarch’s mouthpiece is more balanced than a public service.

liw is Lars Wirzenius, so I assume we can rule that out.
There is also the option to make complexity disappear by just convincing people that they should not want to do what they want to do. This was the kind of response to what I needed to do. Then I had to switch back to x11.

In any case wayland is not bad if you only have pretty basic needs I guess, some basic things look easier to me there from a user perspective, and troubleshooting x11-related issues for a non-technical person is no fun either.
> The web as a platform is a safe bet. It’s un-versioned by design

This is one of the biggest lies. The web depends on your browser version. That's why old web sites do not work in modern browsers and new websites do not work in old browsers.
This is a good overview of these sorts of things:

Pretty snappy, IMHO. Yes, it descends into Bulwer-Lytton territory in a few places, but for every instance where that happens, there are several others where it comes up with something well above par. I'm super impressed, if the examples in the link are really from this model.
It can, actually - because with enough money, you get to decide your own hours anyway.
> I want people to give me attribution for the parts of my project that are copyrightable.

A requirement not extended to the open source developers whose code you are using essentially a copyright and licensing laundering engine to get around.
> I’ve even seen people say that em dashes are indicative, I guess those people neither care about good writing nor know that em dashes are as easy as option + shift + hyphen on a Mac.

They are virtually indistinguishable from regular dashes (unless you're specifically looking for them), and contribute nothing of significant value to the text itself. They were only ever a marker of "this is either professionally edited, or written by a pedant".
Can't you check the Referer?
Denmark can put some constraints for ships passing the straits. They are danish water. So the Baltic is special in that you can’t reach it on international water. Similar to the Black Sea. But these restrictions are codified in existing agreements so I don’t think Denmark could easily and unilaterally change them to include more conditions. But they could start enforcing ships following the existing requirements for environmental safety and insurance. It would make life pretty difficult for those shipping oil past the sanctions in rusty single hull tankers.
> It's a shame that Intel seemed to really not want people to use it

AVX-512 was never part of the specification for those CPUs. It was never advertised as a feature or selling point. You had to disable the E cores to enable AVX-512, assuming your motherboard even supported it.

Alder Lake AVX-512 has reached mythical status, but I think the number of people angry about it is far higher than the number of people who ever could have taken advantage of it and benefitted from it. For general purpose workloads, having the E cores enabled (and therefore AVX-512 disabled) was faster. You had to have an extremely specific workload that didn't scale well with additional cores and also had hot loops that benefitted from AVX-512, which was not very common.

So you're right: They never wanted people to use it. It wasn't advertised and wasn't usable without sacrificing all of the E cores and doing a lot of manual configuration work. I suspect they didn't want people using it because they never validated it. AVX-512 mode increased the voltages, which would impact things like failure rate and warranty returns. They probably meant to turn it off but forgot in the first versions.
Same situation for me. I hate working in non-tech jobs; I want to spend my time improving my coding skills and earning money by building software. A small amount of money is good enough for me for now. I'm not married, and I want financial stability so I can focus more on my coding skills.

I tend to ask multiple models and if they all give me roughly the same answer, then it's probably right.
That headline reads like something from The Onion.

Trump is definitely not "just shooting off his mouth" and is dead serious. Whether he’ll do it is another question, but a lot of damage is already done. In the long term, the US have a lot of potential to be very damaging as well. Europe is between a rock and a hard place and its prosperity will depend on the risk assessments that were made in the recent past and that are being made now.
Undersea cables carry trillions of dollars in transactions daily. Their value cannot be overstated.
Speaking as someone with similar views to the OP: my “better solution” is to write an idempotent shell script targeting a specific Debian release/ISO that handles system setup end-to-end.

It is for nearly all intents and purposes functionally equivalent to docker, and it’s pretty trivial to port to Dockerfile in minutes. I use docker plenty for work and am fully aware of its benefits. Like the OP, I just dislike Docker’s iptables fuckery and CLI design as a matter of personal preference.

Of course, context is king, and I only do this for things I’m designing and running myself - but the larger point I’m trying to make is that you can do the whole “unambiguous file that describes the exact shell steps required to get the piece of software running, starting from a base distro”-thing without Docker in the picture.
IMO, people generally only want a few things out of work:

- Sufficient money so you don't feel ripped off or left behind compared to others in your social class

- Agency over your day - you can take an afternoon off if you're feeling down, your kids are sick, etc

- Enough free time to relax and have an out of work life

- Lack of obstacle/roadblocks to actually doing good work

Most modern companies get all of this wrong. They pay the bare minimum and raises are small and slow, encouraging job hopping. You have to beg for time off like a child. No clearly defined off hours for most employees. The daily job is filled with bureaucracy and excessive micromanagement that slow you down at every turn.

Being disengaged is the logical response to these conditions.
> notoriously critical for VR support. This is basically the same as Windows exclusive full screen.

D3D12 dropped support for exclusive fullscreen, and I don't think headsets even go through DXGI but their own swap chain APIs. Why do VR games on Linux need the equivalent from the Wayland compositor?
Corporate blog posts are often times more for SEO and/or social proof that a company isn't dead. There's normally minimal new information conveyed (especially in the OPs case where it's not an internal domain expert but outside agency, so very simple concepts/basic news) so how much does it matter if the content is average?
I'm a happy Revolut customer. Their app is great and it has features that banks here in Italy don't (or if they do they always charge it, that's why I'm trying to slowly break away from them). Banking in Italy is the worst of the worst. They are extremely well trained to make you waste time. Avoid at all costs Banco Posta. People are not just inefficent, they have absolutely no idea about anything you ask them and they love to make you wait eternally. I have recently asked for more information about a loan at another bank and surprisingly they refuse to send me a formal document to read all the terms and conditions. They literally sent me a plain text email with some numbers, when I required them formal details (the famous "small letter") about it they simply didn't reply.

What social change did this lead to? It sounds like two ideologically opposed groups showing up in the street to war with each other. In the end the organization just built a new group and moved everyone into it. What is this meant to be an example of?

Seems like "Sound and fury. Signifying nothing." to me.

> reminders that the US can be good people.

The US /is/ good people. Will it ever be 100% "good people?" Of course not. Perhaps you shouldn't let salacious for profit media hyperventilation over the few bad apples that exist to tarnish your view of an entire country. Let alone allow this to encourage you to participate in meaningless street level shouting matches.

I’m always disappointed by LLMs but this one is the best. It’s repeating previous answers over and over while ignoring any new prompt. Is that the kind of tool that should make me out of a job? Who created this site?
Yeah, especially the ones from China /s
I kind of disagree that this is "everywhere." To address the places the writer mentions:

LinkedIn - I avoid it for that reason, though I'd put it the other way around: long before the rise of AI, content on LinkedIn read as if it was written by an AI. Who has the time to waste on that? Not me.

X - this is the Internet HQ of low quality content. This is why people who don't like that don't go there.

Reddit - I don't see AI slop "everywhere" here. It seems like, a few times, a bot has managed to post an interesting headline with a story under it that has gotten upvotes. That's alright: let AI have the win. It's not that disruptive.

Outside these areas I don't see this as a problem.

AI content does show up on the Internet on low quality AdSense monetized content blogs, but that's a known problem: even before AI, those were common denominator places. That will always be their niche. I don't think AI made them much worse tbh.
How do you think the stigma of being arrested developed? It didn't come to exist in a vacuum, it exists in a feedback loop with the kinds of voyeuristic news reporting that glories in showing a captioned photo of a person at their lowest: in a mug shot.
NPR had a story about a NEW pipe organ album:

In many/most jurisdiction police are pretty much forced to arrest _someone_ (usually by written policy) if there is a DV complaint, yet the conviction rate is way under 100%. It is probably the least reliable arrest record as a prediction of finding of guilt.
It seems like it's now one cable cut, one russian ship seized.

I prefer this, not only is it better for environmental reasons, you can also sell the seized ship and cargo to help cover repair costs.
Yeah, I'm not so concerned about corporate blog posts. I've never trusted that to be anything more than manipulative pulp.
Because you don’t understand what is at stakes.

It is not that they are winning territory, they gain power over EU.

If they win, EU politically will be destroyed as half of Europe will seek protection by agreeing to whoever promise it, while US withdrawing from all its obligations.

It is really may be a new order when everyone is on themselves.
It was a joke. Why are you so serious? Did you have a bad day?

Unless you have a very good understanding of the system you’re working on or the tools you’re using, it’s very possible to get knee deep in crap without knowing it. That’s one of the biggest risks of using LLMs as assistants.

You could get permission from the parents to install the recording devices, but until the child is grown up the data could be kept locked away somewhere completely inaccessible. Then when the child is old enough to grant permission you unlock that data for use. This sort of pattern should work for all studies involving children.

Honestly though, most of these kinds of studies would probably just stop at getting permission from the parents.
Even just holding position would give some downdraft, from those 15 kt of wind. With 2/3 of airspeed compensated by the ship moving into the wind, and an airplane already quite good at short runway landing, the descent angle relative to the moving runway should easily be steep enough to stay clear of the downdraft.

I have zero issue with YC's investment thesis.

I have an issue with the way they continue to market themselves as being altruistic and a defender of startup founders everywhere rather than your run of the mill predatory, self-interested SF VC.

"It's funded by China Gov't"

Are there any credible sources of information out there to back that up, or is that just a conspiracy theory?
It's already illegal to discriminate against a lot of things that people still choose to keep secret rather than rely on the law to protect them. Many people hide their diagnosed disabilities rather than trust that their employer will follow the law, because your advancement actually can be limited by exposing it even if it's technically illegal.

Anti-discrimination laws also fail to protect people from the social consequences of the unwarranted publicity.
The behaviour you described is what happens when you have small context windows. Perhaps you're feeding the models with more tokens than you think you are. I have enjoyed loading large codebases into AI Studio and getting very satisfying and accurate answers because the models have 1M to 2M token context windows.

Initial release of X was June 1984, and Wayland was first released in 2008 -- so it won't be until 2032 that Wayland is the same age. When people complain about Wayland being mediocre or "as good as X was" what they often mean is "Wayland doesn't support $very_specific_feature" or "my video card vendor's proprietary drivers aren't well-tested with Wayland and it makes me sad".

Approximately 99.999% of those complaints are uttered by people who 1) are not doing the work, 2) are not interested or capable of doing the work, and 3) do not understand or refuse to acknowledge that the Wayland and X developers are _mostly the same folks_ and they _do not want to work on X11 anymore_.

I don't really have a stake in this argument, except I'm bone-tired of seeing people whine about Wayland when they're using software somebody else gave them for free. There are enough Wayland whiners that, by now, they could've banded together and started maintaining / improving X and (if their complaints and theories were correct) left Wayland behind.

Strangely -- even though X is open source and eminently forkable (we know this, because XFree86 -> X.org) it gathers dust and none of its proponents are doing anything towards its upkeep.

When someone shows up with "Wayland isn't as good as X, so here is my modernized fork of X anyone can use" -- I'll be quite interested.
Circa 2000, British Airways(?) did a competition for technical people/students, and the prize was... to get to fly on the Concorde. I remember thinking "big whoop", and didn't enter. Not knowing that the Concorde would soon never fly again.
In the US, free speech is legal. You also have a right to congregate but lots of institutions find ways to subvert that, often by creating private spaces that seem public (and effectively are public but I am not a lawyer). The whole concept of civil disobedience in the US goes back to the Mexican American war, which many Americans felt was an opportunity to expand slavery to new states. Another example is the civil rights movement, where people thought it was acceptable to sit in the wrong part of the bus, even though it was against the law.

I am not advocating for breaking the law. You have to understand that if a police person or a security guard violates your rights of free expression you may not get bailed out by the ACLU.
Frankly, these words are too kind.

Exactly. And in that context I really don’t care. Similarly if I wrote the blog post. People can leave after the first paragraph because it’s uninteresting. If they leave because it looks generated it’s the same thing. Writing in an interesting way is as skill. Writing in a ”human” way is probably quickly becoming a skill now too. But I think they were probably always closely related.
Not only did the megacorp CEO's drop the ball on AI... we've got them gloating over widespread firing of engineers due to AI and then quotes like "I'm good for my $80B" like its his own personal money bag. And now they're force feeding crappy alpha AI products. The egos are well out of hand. And they give this group the name "The Magnificent Seven". WTF have we become. We trust these companies to be stewards of AGI/ASI?

I’d go as far as to assume there’s no evading surveillance in a strict sense.

If you attend, leave your phone home (atypical usage), go with other people / meet them there / other people you know are there (facial recognition / gait analysis / clothing preference) those are all good data points to predict with high probability where you are and what you’re up to, especially given your typical movements, data usage patterns, purchasing habits, friends / acquaintances / social media interactions are all in at least a few databases.

Take the security measures you’re willing to make the tradeoffs for.

If history is anything to go by, we’re only ever an election, or other political churn, away from your particular sets of beliefs / identifiers being persecuted, or at least your least favourite political prisoners being released and coming after you.

And, as you allude to, relying on the security practices of others has its own problems. Even Perfect Forward Secrecy etc etc provides little help against Rubber Hose Cryptography.
You ask them for references and check yourself. They are good exploratory and hypothesis generating tools, but not more. Getting a sensible sounding answer should not be an excuse for you to confirm. Often, the devil is in the details.
