I'm coming full circle on the AI thing, it's almost entirely useless at creating a crafted result, so counterintuitively it places a greater premium on craft just at a time the industry as a whole are running in the opposite direction. There are some pieces of software I've thought of building now that I would not have considered a worthwhile pursuit a few years ago, solely due to this idea that a crafted result may have an increasingly inherent value in its own right

Even if machines can be made to produce compact, well thought out and beautiful, the interaction pattern almost inevitably ensures the "developer" produces something that is neither compact, well thought out or beautiful

It doesn't need to be perfect, but in spite of that perfect is possible if people ask for it. Don't tempt them. Look at what happened in Spain with Cloudflare.

The question in my mind is persistence. Everyone goes through the honeymoon phase. I'm absolutely loathing the idea that phones are arriving soon with chatbot junk built deeply into it, enough that the thought is more what if I could maybe just stop using my phone so much. I threw myself at the Llama WhatsApp integration when I first got it, now the idea of having Llama in WhatsApp just feels so dumb.

I was a huge early fan of ChatGPT voice too, but I don't think I've used voice mode anywhere in at least 6 months. The question is what is the right level people are generally going to settle on for the use of these tools in the long term. 80% of my usage isn't much more than a better Google, I could live without it and I could live with cheaper options. I'm not sure the consumer money is going to be there en masse as hoped

Of course it still leaves a huge amount of business cases open, but I suppose the same principle applies. How soon will people tire of talking to robo-voice when they call their bank? etc.

Netlify CTO in 6-18 months: that vibe project that caused me to say writing code is no longer the job got so unmaintainable that I hired a team of 3 to take it over. They're rewriting it by hand because tokens are too expensive now. Nobody could have seen this coming

That makes a lot more sense, and sibling comment's higher res clip makes it a lot clearer. I knew I was posting a crappy analysis in the hopes someone who understands this stuff would post something more interesting, there is a dearth of technical speculation from googling around

The video angle published by the BBC is better, it appears to show one side of the rocket disintegrating and sliding down non-explosively before the large explosion really kicked in. Would hate for this all to be described by a few missing bolts

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cvgz0pdg32mo

edit: the failure appears to start at the bottom, this seems to have damaged the structure enough to cause the sliding to start, then the huge fireball seems to begin with a small flash closer to the top of the rocket

Sustained pushback helps define how the tool is used, and if it only takes a few years of complaints to permanently establish good social norms around it, I think we're better for it. At least, I much prefer this than a world where everyone is too polite to complain about slop until slop is all that is left..

I don't think any value would be lost in that case by simply deleting the text and not replacing it with anything. AI is particularly bad at inserting this kind of filler, it can sometimes be really hard to spot even though it's right in front of your eyes.

Just more hidden cost of AI.. it's sufficiently hard to avoid these kinds of structural smells that I've gone back to just writing my own copy everywhere.

Even if you've otherwise put in a lot of effort, presenting it with slop on the home page really sends a bad signal. My eye caught "No proprietary clients. No vendor lock-in." as an AI pattern and I'm immediately drawn to wonder whether the service will still be around even just a few weeks from now.

5x 400gbit running to a 2U box whoa, the PCI lanes must have heat shielding.

More seriously there is a sensibility limit on extreme density where it's not needed. The idea that you're just going to magically get 2 TBit/s out of those ports seems unlikely even with tweaked software, and you're stuck with a power and comms hotspot that's liable to dictate the remainder of your network design.

At max utilisation that 2U would take 12 hours to drain, and only 12 hours assuming peak and likely unachievable throughput and the box otherwise being completely out of service. Not a great start

Your approach looks interesting but I was curious when you talk about path-based splitting for ART, do you literally mean always on "/"? I know S3 directory buckets always use /, but the classical S3 model had no natural separator character and I was wondering if supporting those styles of prefix or custom delimiter queries suffered any impediment in your approach.

Bookmarked your whole blog for later consumption, interesting stuff!

does refind support secure boot and measured boot? I loathe pretty much anything systemd but systemd-boot gives me this with zero effort, and it's legitimately useful

Tinfoil looks super interesting! Do you have load balancers in front of the trusted compute stack? Looked at a design like this in a different space and the options for ensuring privacy in a traditional "best practice" architecture seemed very limited

By the time the dust settles I wouldn't be surprised if personal interactive usage couldn't even be had for under $200. I can't fit my modelling of the serving costs of these things to any public reporting, even the more bearish examples
