At one point in time it made sense to run your own mail server. Over time that made less and less sense due to the cost, complexity and importance of actually doing it successfully. With AI we've speed run this gradual change and went directly to there's only five companies that can do it.

Being able to run your own AI will be exponentially harder and more expensive than running your own website, requires specialized hardware, power, cooling, completely new software stack, etc.

One important thing about the development of AI in its current form that I don't think people are talking about is how it will bring about an acceleration of consolidation and centralization beyond what we see today.

helm uses nsone but get.helm.sh points at azure front door which is having problems right now. DNS responses seem to be very intermittent azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status

Over the last couple nights I decided to scratch a personal programming itch. A little XDP program that logs the SNI from any TLS client hello it sees. No TLS needed.

This happened to me on a smaller scale, only a couple contributions. The wild part was I got them like 6 months after leaving the company, presumably when they found the mistake.

"never seen anything like this with modern accounting rules"

"Oracle didn’t disclose that β€œthe vast majority of its $318bn RPO growth in the quarter came from a $300bn contract with OpenAI.”"

That's a lot of future revenue from a single, privately owned customer.

CFS Bandwidth Control β€” The Linux Kernel documentation

The way the cgroups penalize an application when they hit the limit is to pause the service, that includes in-flight requests/responses. "Throttled threads will not be able to run again until the next period when the quota is replenished." The default period is 100ms docs.kernel.org/scheduler/sc...

I bought an Nvidia BlueField2 off ebay. If I console into it over rshim (github.com/Mellanox/rsh...) it's got the hostname "nic-ec2-node11-lax02 " without default username and password. What are the odds this is from an AWS EC2 machine?

Why I Quit GitHub Sophie Haskins, a software engineer, tells Motherboard how she decided it was time to quit her job at a tech company that contracts to ICE.

Lost sleep last night because my brain started think about how Nat Friedman and others of the Microsoft/GitHub exec team back in 2020 tried to explain away our complains/questions with mealy mouthed responses about how the ICE/DHS contract would improve outcomes. www.vice.com/en/article/w...
