Isn't this solvable with autoscaling? how is this not an issue with Firecracker as well?

Your comment reminded me of Commandos! apparently it has new releases so down the rabbit hole we go

I think that's geohot's point as well. They're advocating against being fully "ai pilled". Saying we should be using AI as a tool, not for being a luddite.
similar vibes as "640k ought to be enough for anybody"

Re:A bear case: My predictions regarding AI progress on Monday March 10, 2025 @03:05AM (#43317702)
I see no reason to believe the extraordinary progress we've seen recently will stop or even slow down. Personally, I've benefited so much from AI that it feels almost alien to hear people downplaying it. Given the excitement in the field and the sheer number of talented individuals actively pushing it forward, I'm quite optimistic that progress will continue, if not accelerate.

i wonder if we’ll ever get to a point where we don’t think about storage at all. or will we always fill up whatever storage that’s available.

Ask HN: How to Stay Behind?

It is common practice for most frameworks to continue evolving until they become extremely complex. Ideally I'd like to make use of certain frameworks but opt-out of this devolvement into complexity.I could lock the versions, but I would still like to enjoy the benefits of using maintained dependencies: bug fixes, security patches, etc.Locking is also harder to do when there are external...

Interesting for sure. But what about those of us that hoard side products?
