<p>I think microservices are supposed to be easier to deploy independently, that's the whole point. And if they are not, it means you're just doing it wrong.<p>But in truth, all the projects with microservices I have seen in real life had deployment coordination problems, and looked to me like distributed monoliths. So maybe it's a 'no true scotsman' thing. Maybe they are always, or at least most of the time, harder.<p>Makes it harder to justify using them.</p>

<p>Maybe say what you think they <i>were</i> saying? What is it with these maximally ambiguous comments?<p>To me "Are you aware of the world you live in?" suggests "If you don't even know this, you don't know anything. This is the first thing anyone should know". I'm willing to learng if they meant something else, but I guess that's asking a lot.</p>

<p>> Are you aware of the world you live in?<p>Certainly this world comprises many other things than the Holocaust and IBM's support of it. Perhaps your awareness is lacking if you think that is the main thing to be aware of in this world.</p>

<p>My thought exactly. "May guarantee" is meaningless nonsense.<p>> Nvidia has revised its plans to support a proposed OpenAI data center project in Ohio  and is now expected to initially guarantee less  than $120 billion<p>There is no actual information in this article. "Plan", "proposed", "expected", "initially", "less than". It's just a report on the thoughts of some people.</p>

<p>There is hardware attestation that prevents a perfect sandbox from being possible.<p>Unless you know how to build a sandbox that can simulate a TPM with a key inside that only Google knows. Or something like that. I'm not an expert but there's plenty of information on the internet about this. It's definitely more than "the sandbox is buggy".</p>

<p>For me it's the rythm. It's a list of chapters, each with a list of subchapters, plenty of bulleted lists, and paragraphs of close to equal size with sentences of close to equal size. Everything is trying to be an element with an impact. Each sentence, each paragraph, each entry in a list, each list, each subchapter... feels like I'm being hit with an impact drill. This! Then this! Now this! Conclusion! But there's more!<p>It's not a human way to think, talk or write.</p>

<p>> The "interesting new phenomenon", obviously, is the potential of the generalization of what expressed in the title.<p>Why is this thing so difficult to name and you need to describe it in such a roundabout way? "Drones might be shot down a lot"? It's neither new nor an intellectual curiosity. "Drones are used for war" also not. It's been happening for years now. What is so interesting? Can you name it without references to generalizations of expressions of other references?</p>

<p>> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.<p>Seems ths qualifies in spades.</p>

<p>What's the difference between using GPT to write the prompt to GPT, and "thinking"? The LLM uses the first tokens to predict more tokens, and then uses those tokens to predict even more tokens.</p>

<p>> Someone who does not believe in god will not be convinced to believe by a proof of god's existence<p>I'm sure <i>some</i> atheists could be convinced. The rule "all atheists will reject evidence of God" seems false. The rule "all atheists will accept evidence of God" also seems false. Life is more complicated than that. It depends on the atheist and on the evidence.</p>

<p>I do review, if only whatever I do was the norm for everyone :)<p>Do you see lots of posts about new compilers and languages and language features on HN in the last year? Maybe I just missed them. I'd love to read more posts like that and fewer about agent frameworks.</p>

<p>> better compilers, more ergonomic languages<p>If anything it seems wide deployment of LLMs would go against this. When nobody writes code by hand anymore, who will care about the ergonomics of programming languages? And even if a few do care, how would you get adoption? I expect everyone will just use whatever is already used most.</p>

<p>I wonder if a probabilistic compiler would be fine for the people arguing this. One that sometimes produces machine code that does something else, and sometimes produces machine code that is just broken and does nothing useful. From the same source code.<p>What if your compiler could be fooled by some other developers into spending thousands of dollars, and still not produce the desired machine code in the end?</p>
