I guess people making swords and arrows in the past had similar ethical dilemas in the begining, until they were attacked and then it became business as usual.

Isn't it the same for tobacco and alcohol ads?

Feel hand/human written code of an experienced individual should be more valuable for a business than one created by agents. Surely, agents and humans might be using the same underlying frameworks or programming languages, but the value difference depends on the breadth and depth of experience. Agents gives you the breadth but an experienced individuals give you the depth in understanding/problem solving.

Looks like this post somehow is not even on the front page of HN anymore. CF pulling some strings maybe, they don't have this incident on top of their current list.

When liability of a corporation and its owners is limited, does it benefit their business to be dilligent in every step or have a mentality of move fast and break things?

"Customers deployed on the new FL2 proxy engine, observed HTTP 5xx errors. Customers on our old proxy engine, known as FL, did not see errors, but bot scores were not generated correctly, resulting in all traffic receiving a bot score of zero."

This simply means, the exception handling quality of your new FL2 is non-existent and is not at par / code logic wise similar to FL.

I hope it was not because of AI driven efficiency gains.

India’s current governance systems often rely on centralized databases, which can be prone to errors, fraud, and lack of transparency. Blockchain technology addresses these challenges through its tamper-resistant, distributed ledger system, where records are securely maintained across multiple nodes. This design makes unauthorized modifications virtually impossible and significantly enhances data integrity and trust.

Seems like we need more anti-trust cases on AWS or need to break it down, it is becoming too big. Services used in rest of the world get impacted by issues in one region.

testemailfordg2 — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 16:26:05 +0000

Privatize the profits and socialize the losses, is this too difficult to understand of being the core motto of a private equity firm. A PE firm will not have patients at the top of their priority, unless legislation enforces and regulates that.

New comment by testemailfordg2 in "Preliminary report into Air India crash released"

testemailfordg2 — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 13:30:17 +0000

Three things:- 1) Pilot clearly said I didn't do it. 2) Report talks about the second switch being turned off in a second. 3) Known advisory on switches getting flipped.

If you see these three together, it becomes easy to deduce that based on point 2, switch was not human induced as the actions required take more than a second. Next the third point, advisory was for this exact scenario which played out, though rare but still it shouldn't have been just an advisory, but more than that.

I am just a part of the whole, when I die, will just change form but would still be in this ether. And some day what remains of me would be part of the something new that gets created and lives and dies again...Hence the cycle goes on...
