If they can't get the blocking and tackling right, it doesn't lend confidence they are doing the more complicated stuff well.
> We, ngrok, have sponsored Mac to write this post because we think it’s an underexplored perspective on the topic of reliability.
Uh, okay. Were there any reliability perspectives gained from this 30-year-old postmortem that would help us in the modern age? After reading the article, I feel the answer is "none". Not that I'm complaining I love this era of the internet. But I fail to see any importance here.
Price? If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Is there any market/demand for AI companions for females (i.e.
https://jaimee.ai), or has this trend of AI companions vastly for males? I suspect the latter, but curious if anyone has evidence beyond Jaimee AI of the former.
I experienced something similar. My use case is I need to summarize bank statements (sums, averages, etc.). Gemini wouldn't do it, it said too many pages. When I asked the max number of supported pages, it says max is 14 pages. Attempted on both 2.0 flash and 2.0 pro in VertexAI console.
We've been using technology to touch up movies for years. What's the big deal - just because its the AI boogey man? Accusations the director is deliberately using AI to squeeze artists out of jobs is silly, he is simply perfectecting the scene using the tools at his disposal like every director before him.
This is neat. I take it these these accounting breakdowns for films are hard to come by? Would love to see more for some of my favorite films.
A firm handshake. They had no time to ink a benefits package, my dude.
I think Nix intention is more general purpose OS and tooling. Bottlerocket is about being just enough of an OS to run containers, and that's it.
That's a good point. And it sounds like it would work to me as well. I don't know the answer either.
I guess my point is the project should be providing a clear path that doesn't involve AWS instead of just stopping short.
This seems to still be very much an AWS/Amazon project with no clear path to becoming its own independent thing. For example, you want vulnerability scanning on the OS? Well you can use an Amazon product for that, otherwise *shrug* [1]. So I guess as long as you plan to run Bottlerocket in AWS, you're fine.
I wish the Bottlerocket team would do 1 of 2 things. Either own up that this is just an AWS project, or start to solve for things like this and actually be a product that "runs in the cloud or in your datacenter" as they suggest on their website.

One thing - Consider leaving the URL in your post blank so it routes to this HN discussion instead of your homepage. I completely missed this post of yours announcing V2 and its features until I clicked 'discuss'.
Rooting for you guys. I find myself using phind over other searches (google/chatgpt) more and more.
Why would I use your service over restic?
God bless you Colin, but reading this, it appears you're the only one in charge of the infrastructure for this service. I'm glad you're clear about no SLA, but this seems like a big liability between me and my backups.
No, judging from the Disclosure Timeline at the very bottom, it appears the lengthy remediation is due to ServiceNow dragging their feet. Took them over a month, plus a followup email, just to get them to respond to the initial report.
Those engineers blamed themselves for the Challenger all these years? What a shame,
It's not about you, bud. Speaking at a global level it is more efficient.
I agree with you that a given person typically has a different personality online vs. offline.
However, I disagree with you that people are more "kumbya" in person than online.
My experience has been people are much more aggressive and mean in person. People are constantly shit-talking, passing undue judgment, road raging complete strangers. It's absolutely terrifying.
Online, I still feel there is ugliness, but I tend to find people will put together clear and reasonable arguments. Especially in communities like this one.
Sometimes it's not about power efficiency, but repurposing hardware you already have instead of buying new.

Hi,I'm depressed and judging by posts as of late (see below), chances are, so are you.I go to talk therapy and it's okay. Some sessions have been life saving. But the vast majority of my sessions frankly are a waste of time. The biggest waste of time - I feel - is frequently having to re-explain things. I wish I could go all "omg rtfm" to my therapist, but that's not an option - being the...

Just begs the question, why?
The main CTA is DONATE, that's a pretty clear spade signal to me.
