if you want to have an idea. I used a docker compose approach.

New comment by aldarisbm in "Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command"

aldarisbm — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 20:46:26 +0000

This guy is... an interesting person.

He had a state file somewhere that was aligned to his current infrastructure... why isn't this on a backend, who really knows...

He then ran it without a state file and the ran a terraform apply... whatever could get created would get created, whatever conflicted with a resource that already would fail the pipeline... moreso... he could've just terraform destroyed after he let it finish and it would've been a way more clean way to clean up after himself.

Except... he canceled the terraform apply... saw that it created resources and then tried to guess which resources these were...

I'm sorry he could've done all of this by himself without any agentic AI. Its PICNIC 100%

When GenAI start coming through with chatgpt, I was hoping it would take away the every day menial tasks.

I now see that is mainly targeting Creative Work, and it's really really sad.

I think we as humans find joy in creative work and it is frustrating that we as a collective decided that is the thing we will take away from humans.

What would be a moderate way to interpret this?

Is it the vector space of two words being approximate to one another?

while you imagine this, let's waste order of magnitudes more in red tape, that is if your imagination and DOGE's imagination are in the same place.

100%, if it run macos it would've been a no brainer.

I believe I am decent earner, but 3500$ is not justifiable from the benefit I get from it. _and I wanted to buy it really bad_

Because they shouldnt cash out for the work they've put in?

I do dislike that big tech gobbles all small companies, but I dont think people should stop to sell their companies.

It makes sense to cash out and be set for life if that's what you want.

> Analysts have also said that the rise of artificial intelligence may have delayed purchases as some higher-income shoppers await upgraded laptops with AI features, such as Microsoft's co-pilot button, and televisions to hit the shelves.

Wait what?, does anyone here know someone who's truly waiting out for any of these features?

then all of this kinda makes no sense, wasnt Elon doing this RIF because he wanted to inflate numbers to pull his cut?

Wouldnt removing all the job ads for tesla achieve the opposite effect?

New comment by aldarisbm in "Losing My Hands"

aldarisbm — Fri, 03 May 2024 11:57:29 +0000

There's a few things that caught my attention. I am too in tech, but from what I understand and my circle, everyone... kinda worked less during the pandemic (especially at the start). How was this person pressured to work so much? He was doing machine learning for a company that offers clothes. How can you derive actual societal value from that? Not saying that the work was not interesting or challenging, just a bit weird take.

He also says he has 3 hobbies, and when the pandemic hit... it burst his bubble? I mean how many hobbies are you supposed to have? I'm not going to have 10 different hobbies to have "resiliency" in my hobbies shall a pandemic arrive.

Also, glaring omission on not sharing the reason how it happened? Everyone here works on a keyboard 8+ hours a day... maybe share what some of us could avoid?

I own a steamdeck, and have been playing BlackOps III (with no anticheat)

It's a total mess. Even with a handful of players actively playing, I almost always find a cheater. I get that anticheats are not "convenient" but to say that we should get rid of them, it's a bit naive.

aldarisbm — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 13:35:46 +0000

Honest question... Why?

I understand that medium is not absolutely necessary and ideally we would have an open source tool that is easy to deploy. In the meanwhile, I use medium quite a bit.

I have fiber internet at my apartment with a mesh network, and I've found myself missing physical media a bit more lately. Inevitably at some point while watching any 4K media. The buffering will fail or speeds just simply drop? and I start getting visibly lower resolution, this really kills the immersion for me.

Maybe I just don't have the right combination of devices, and/or I absolutely need a wired connection. Regardless, I could not stop thinking how having physical media would avoid these drops.

same, before he really spinned off into his antics, I was really considering buying a tesla. I ended up leasing a lexus instead. Next car will be full EV, but will never get a Tesla, and it is 100% because of this man's actions.

You're assuming that microsoft believes some of these to be offensive. Also I think solved problem is a bit of an overstatement.
