This is a culling and the fake it until you make it crowd that focused on surface level only knowledge are finding out why they should have went deeper. The ones that honed their craft and really focused on the foundational and core stuff are in demand.

Hmm seems their play is to encourage security to experiment with AI e.g. Claude etc. Google's play seems to be spend 30 billion+ for Wiz and sell both the poison (AI) and the cure (Wiz security services). Interesting business models, reminds me of when CVS would sell cigarettes.

I’m assuming this affects their older kernel module variant. Switch to their bpf version if you must use this snake oil

The tool can still be used to run on a light weight Linux VM running on a Mac Mini or other Apple hardware. At the bare metal layer the host is an Apple branded computer running macOS.

Podman offers the same experience natively but also supports VMs via podman machine.

I didn’t see one mention of AI related feature or talk they were working on.. that’s the real reason. If you’re not wasting time peddling some AI feature that nobody will ever use or give a second look, you are not onboard the hype train.

Google is an Advertisement company. Everything they do revolves around slurping up the most valuable data to better identify people and be able to identify trends. They’ve become increasingly less and less open as year goes by and they still haven’t found their next big cash cow to offset decline to their current cash cow.

I’ve found Home Assistant and i’s add-ons systems a good way to self host without the fuss. If you need something that is not there you can create your own repo and it’s pretty easy to create your own add-on collection

Why wouldn’t a company that has found the secret to productivity not double down and give themselves a massive lead on others in focused area of their choosing.

30% increase in productivity would mean another 100+ engineers should also be 30% more productive.

I'd potentially pay $200 for unlimited and better access to Claude Sonnet 3.5v2 but definitely not inferior chatgpt models. You can charge a premium when you have the best and OpenAI doesn't have the best.

the irony, preventing and killing something that is actually useful, while we let crowdcrap hum along consuming tons of memory and bottlenecking IO so it can do snakeoil things...
