There’s a lack of capacity, but it’s a generalization to a very large cold-war style conflict. ie - you are right NATO has identified shortages, but it’s more of a concern for conf…

That’s true, but the US and Europe also haven’t structured their modern capabilities around artillery. It’s a component of their doctrines, but wasn’t expected to be required in su…

There’s a very big difference between what the USA does in proxy wars vs direct conflicts. Ukraine doesn’t have air superiority, and is basically getting shipped leftover or soon-t…

As permanently mobile as a wife and young kid allow. We spent 3 months on the road 2 summers ago and had a great time! I expect our radius to get smaller as our child gets older an…

As with most things, I think the answer is “it depends.” I have seen some very efficient storage systems designed around S3/R2 object storage where applications run in ephemeral co…

Vape concentrates can be worse based on what is used during extraction/added for flavor, etc. I agree it’s worse than doing nothing, but I am curious if herb vaporizers end up bein…

Probably some mental health damage from Covid lockdowns as well. To the downvotes - I’m not saying lockdowns were a bad thing, but they did take a toll on many mentally. I’m person…

I’m not sure how I feel yet. Rapid rate of change can uproot systems pretty quickly. I guess I’m just holding judgement to see if this is a new Industrial Revolution, and fallout t…

Yeah - I’m just shocked I didn’t get a hallucinated response for the query.

Sure, but it’s pretty amazing to me that ChatGPT didn’t just hallucinate a response to a generic request to decode a string. It recognized the string as base64, wrote a valid progr…

I basically said “decode this thing.” I’m just surprised it hit all the steps properly rather than hallucinating a response.

Holy cow. ChatGPT 4 actually decoded this. It went into analysis mode, wrote some python, ran it, and gave the correct answer.

I don’t have unlimited PTO, but it sure is nice to shut my laptop at 5 and be somewhere beautiful. I don’t have that luxury at home and it’s a huge perk with my current job. When I…

It’s the same argument for the cloud. With Backblaze, I pay $x/month and someone else deals with OS/Software updates and hard drive failures. If I don’t outsource, I handle it myse…

I’m not extremely productive, but I have 2 use-cases I’m excited about. 1. Having more screen real estate in my small home office. I often dive into spaghetti code, and seeing more…

Why?

> We're paying north of 500K per year in AWS support (which is a highway robbery), and in return you get a "team" of people supposedly dedicated to you, which sounds good in theory…
