The cloud provider isn't the harness, Terraform/OpenTofu/Pelumi and the abstractions you build using them are. The cloud provider is the LLM. It's not as fungible as the LLM and there's no direct comparison to egress costs of course, but that's moreso a problem with the metaphor.

Perhaps it's time to switch to paradigms that allow faster patch generation, application, and rollout... like Nix.

Yes, and, for non-personal machines or anything connected to the internet: now is a great time to get good at rolling out patches and new releases quickly.

It makes sense given a few things, although it's not as bad as you're saying: 1. The median American lives in a city and has exposure to Muslims and is most likely not Islamophobic. 2. Due to the voting structure of the U.S., people who don't live in cities and don't get exposure to Muslims get outsized voting rights. 3. Most American electeds are much more well travelled than Americans who don't live in cities.

So basically, elites have to necessarily balance (and exploit) the biases of over-represented minorities with their own largely metropolitan beliefs.

All of this is made more ironic in that the moral structures of the Abrahamic religions, including Islam, are all influences on and in line with, traditional American values, which American elites don't follow (see Epstein) but Americans who don't live in cities largely do.

At least in part, they legitimately see Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, and now Syria, as part of the American empire. I would argue this is a bipartisan elite belief as well, you see Dem current and former elected's lobbying and giving talks where policy is dictated in those countries all the time, investing and being invested in by those countries all the time.

The number of nines assigned to a suite of services is not indicative of the quality of SRE at any given company, but rather a reflection of the tradeoffs a business has decided to make. Guaranteed there's a dashboard somewhere at Github looking at platform stickiness vs. reliability and deciding how hard to let teams push on various initiatives.

That's because Israel killed hundreds of civilians in Lebanon today.

The experience one has with this stuff is heavily influenced by overall load and uptime of Anthopic's inference infra itself. The publicly reported availability of the service is one 9, that says nothing of QoS SLO numbers, which I would guess are lower. It is impossible to have a consistent CX under these conditions.

I like it as well, although it was and is very buggy in certain instances.

If we stay on the current path, in a few months tech will start to feel the pain of Trump's rampage. The only redeemable thing about that is that maybe tech workers and Americans generally will finally stop feeling like they're above it all.

They don't, because almost entirely is not the same as entirely.

It's still extremely odd that they don't just... turn off.. ever? Even the case marketing copy notes this:

> When stored in the soft, slim Smart Case, AirPods Max enter an ultra‑low‑power state.

> Israeli VCs tend to be uninterested in IPOs in general - too much of an operational headache and it's difficult to exit a position quickly.

Interesting, why is this more true of Israeli VC's as opposed to VC's in other markets?
