Requiring that you believe those companies that they won’t hand the keys over to the US at the first ask. Like, the critical problem with the AWS sovereign pitch is that you must b…

The most fun one is the Metro stations near the Pentagon, where often the ads will be for fighter jet engine upgrades. They must work, because they're buying the ad space for about…

The company line has been that they expect you to have your own backups in a region outside of the Middle East or you’re hosed until they can turn the (now destroyed) buildings bac…

> One recounted a tragicomic anecdote from a T.G.I.F. meeting on International Women’s Day, when a Googler had asked Larry and Sergey to name some of their personal female heroes. …

Counterpoint: https://justingarrison.com/blog/2024-02-08-fargate-is-not-fi... And also, you’ll notice that Fargate takes minutes to launch while Lambda takes a second or less. You’…

Guessing it’s reading the system color scheme, because on my phone it’s white text on black. (on iOS with dark mode enabled system wide)

Feels like AWS could just tell them they’re not launching Fable then. Anthropic needs them more than the opposite, no? Nobody who is a big Bedrock customer will ditch for another c…

A company with different taste would redo that apple ad from the Power Mac era: “this model has been classified a munition”. https://youtu.be/l2ThMmgQdpE

I think that’s by AWS though. For Fable you need to flip an account wide flag that says “I want to share my prompts with the model vendor.”

If you have an Apple TV it can use an iPhone as a camera for FaceTime (you put it under your TV temporarily). Works great, presuming you already have some other reason to have the …

The AWS pricing page says 10% more than OpenAI, which is probably because they’re forcing all inference through the US and data residency is at a 10% premium from the model vendors…

I always thought it was a joke on the python xkcd: https://xkcd.com/353/ (Which, interestingly, also appears if you type “import antigravity” at the python repl).

Are people in the habit of asking their admin to order a pizza or a Uber? There’s more complex things (the floor I think is booking a flight that doesn’t conflict with activities I…

They actually kind of fixed this recently, you can ask them to move your route53 control plane to another region in the event of us-east-1 breaking: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Rou…

It’s a joke because all of the AI systems du jour are non deterministic and people are putting them in important places anyway.

I think they built the NPU with whatever models they needed to run on the iPhone in mind vs trying to build a general purpose chip, and then got lucky it was also useful for LLMs. …

It forces you to pay at least $20 in tokens per user even for people who use less (they probably have stats on how many people use just autocomplete, which doesn’t count against th…

Isn’t that an “API product”? I read this assuming the whole point of renegotiation was to let OpenAI sell raw inference via bedrock, but that still seems to be blocked except for s…

AWS actually has a thingy on some services called “deletion protection” to prevent automation from accidentally wiping resources the user didn’t want it to (you set the bit, and th…

They should also order the comments in order of recency top to bottom so you have to read the page in reverse.

The developer seats are read-only, so they rely on designer seats existing to actually create files to inspect for development (and I’d guess PMs are using figma because designers …

Apple had a commercial about this a million years ago, where a guy decides to edit a video on a plane. https://youtu.be/LQWjxAdSsHE
