I keep seeing everyone guessing what the margin is on inference. You say that it's largely break even. We have this person in the thread claim 80% margin ( https://news.ycombinator…

Can you explain how the Fed is keeping the cost of labor low, and what they should do to help folks paid enough? I'm not sure I see the connection.

Rate cuts are priced in at about 100% for a 1/4 point. It might go up for a 1/2 point, but that may also signal fear which could have the opposite effect. I think it's hard to say …

The Federal Reserve operates under a "dual mandate" from Congress to promote maximum employment and stable prices (low inflation). As unemployment rises, the Fed will lower interes…

There are definitely some similarities. I think the main difference is the compatibility of Wasm / WASI. Often for unikernel / libOS, you would need to recompile applications to ta…

This example ( https://github.com/hyperlight-dev/hyperlight-wasm-sockets-ex... ) demonstrates starting a sandbox and loading a component. You could imagine you'd write an app that …

A Wasm component running inside of Wasmtime is just fine. However, when you start to use resources from outside of Wasm, e.g. systems, network interfaces, GPUs, etc., Wasmtime uses…

Krustlet implemented the Kubelet API rather than the containerd-shim API. That means that with containerd shims, you can use the default K8s kubelet, containerd, and extend your co…

I would like to see remote comp be structured with a flat base rate across geos, and then have bonuses for locality to corporate centers. If you feel that it is worth it, you can c…

Same thing happens with MSFT. Remote comp is location dependent.

Maybe a good candidate in this organization is one that will leverage every edge they have to produce a desired result. Resourcefulness and risk tolerance are a potent pair.

One of the things we are using it for is for running wasm workloads with cluster networking on K8s. A shim like this makes it simple to construct a small OCI image since all that n…

What is the common spec for Knative? It seems like one runs an app as normal in a container and then the special scaling sauce is handled by Knative. When I think of a portable spe…

Been using cloud-init on Azure Linux VMs for a long time (5+ yrs). Did you experience this on a specific distro?

Azure has an incubation project which is building a Golang CRD generator and a generic Azure resource controller [k8s-infra]. It will likely end up being used in Azure Service Oper…

The management cluster is definitely a pattern. Cluster API is designed to have a management cluster to build workload clusters across region and provider. https://cluster-api.sigs…

A casual computer user is going to figure out they need to comment out a GRUB line? Nope. That is an experience that will push them right back to OSX or Windows.

For quite a few, it is a _main_ goal for the speakers to either draw attention to their company's product or to provide an air of thought leadership on behalf of their company.

Isn't this the point of licensing? The author or company building the software requires money in exchange for using their software. The revenue acquired through the license is then…

Check out https://gobuffalo.io/en/docs/testing/ Coming from a rails background, this was the closest out of the box testing experience. Tests are generally handled within a transac…

> Of course, the stateful service feature is lost. But k8s does not have that feature either. Persistent Volume Claims go a long way toward the stateful service "feature". To go an…

You sure that's AMQP 1.0 or 0.9? I say that b/c ActiveMQ is AMQP 1.0 ( http://activemq.apache.org/amqp.html ) and RabbitMQ is probably running 0.9 unless you are using the experime…

Also took it before the chat bot... :( If you are thinking about a masters in CS, you must check out the OMSCS program. The cost to value ratio is completely off the charts! "total…
