> The reason is structural, not incidental It's almost insulting

It's so easy- npm install, a little markdown boot camp, and you get great results.

I don't really want to do approvals though. Either I put stuff into a real sandbox, or #yolo

I preferred the Gemini 3-6 ones with all the extra kingly decorations

We've finally imported European style technology regulation

Averages aren't super useful for data centers, since local costs vary so much, and because siting decisions are often made around power generation (ie, they're deliberately getting…

> A "high-risk" plan to use old machines to produce modern M795 artillery shells backfired, an Inspector General report found. I would say that this indicates that the decision mak…

If China/Taiwan kicks off, you're not getting new parts from Taiwan

Stuff like https://www.hadrian.co/ is pretty neat, but the whole "electric stack" is hopelessly Chinese from this perspective- batteries, motors, all kinds of small and crucial ele…

It's pretty big, too

SpaceX is good at building data centers in tough regulatory environments, in a way that other players have been unable to match

The thing people are worried about is "Seoul is a pile of rubble and so are all the factories". The people in Europe are probably going to stay for a little bit.

I mean, have you tried Pi? It's really good out of the box.

Nah, whenever I'm involved in a cloud cost audit, I routinely find boring unfashionable Ubuntu and RHEL servers someone forgot about with 5 year uptimes.

I honestly believe that most Silicon Valley developers could have their pre-AI output replaced by 10 dollars/day in Gemini 3 pay as you go spend. I don't think existing companies w…

There are two kinds of athletes that win global track events: - athletes from areas with bad doping enforcement (remote places in the mountains of Kenya, Jamaica) - athletes from c…

Just turn SOMA into Hong Kong

What's the sleep situation? I have an ancient Dell with S3, which is totally fine, and a Mac for work, which is fine, but the modern standby situation, as summarized by people who …

Sometimes the only way you can get basic engineering practices done like "have tests", "have a build system", "run the tests and the builds automatically", "insist that the above w…

You need regional state, or you're still back hauling to the db with all the lag.

Central Computer too

I saw a Cybercab on the 280 today, it looked kind of cool but kind of weird, too. I wonder if it'll be the same thing physically.
