as someone on the other side who has had to deal with deploys that go from 5PM to 2AM due to bad code changes, and being on call with 40+ pages a day, there's a reason why SREs are just say no when they're the first responders to outages caused by poorly implemented features. I'm not saying just say no is the right mentality but I can see why many develop the cynical anti-change mentality

CoL outside of Seoul is ridiculously cheap

Apparently a single person can live in Busan on 1500 USD per month. 200k buys you 11 years, not accounting for inflation and COL increase.

A 40 year old person can’t retire on that money.


the one guy I know who has worked with colo at scale (unfortunately in the crypto space) is now an EM at Goog


ctrl+f toilet, thank you for already commenting this


>it is crazy to think that the world is spending thousands of billions on AI stuffs, but still we haven't yet any affordable big size epaper display.

why is that crazy? the demand for big epaper isn't really there, but demand for AI has been pretty clear


Maybe once AI is doing everybody's jobs we'll all have free time for giant epaper dashboard nook projects.


Later: ohno


>The problem I find with it is that it's such a monoculture. Everyone is copying everyone else.

congratulations on discovering mimesis


deep meta, pun intended?


it turns out it's really hard to get a man to fish with a pole when you don't teach them how to use the reel


In regards to copilot, they’ve also been led on a fishing expedition to the middle of a desert


If AGI is coming, won't there just be autofishers and no one will ever have to fish again, completely devaluing one's fishing knowledge and the effort put in to learn it?


It’s not a great analogy but...

“Autofishers” are large boats with nets that bring in fish in vast quantities that you then buy at a wholesale market, a supermarket a bit later, or they flash freeze and sell it to you over the next 6-9 months.

Yet there’s still a thriving industry selling fishing gear. Because people like to fish. And because you can rarely buy fish as fresh as what you catch yourself.

Again, it’s not a great analogy, but I dunno. I doubt AGI, if it does come, will end up working the way people think it will.


> If AGI is coming

spoiler, it's not


Evey now model is better than a previous one. When and why it is going to stop? Current models are limited by DC capacity which is rapidly expanded. Genuinely curious, I don't know the answer.


I'm not sure if this was the intention of the analogy, but fishing poles don't have reels.


Or give them a stick with twine and a plastic fork as a hook, as is the case with Copilot.


we're finally upon the year of the linux wristwatch


leave it to a three letter agency to use a pre-existing acronym for something pretty different
