“Research” generally doesn’t involve actively hacking third party systems though.

It’s a little concerning to me that it appears that openAIs sandbox consists of a web proxy and not stronger controls that would actually isolate traffic and report patterns to who…

There's certainly something to be said for ease of use and not having to ensure you push trusted certs to every device that touches your internal network. Unless you enjoy that sor…

DNS-01 validation is way less work than that in my experience.

100% this. I observe this all the time. LLMs can be a force multiplier but those who don’t ask the right questions or understand the nuance still produce bad code, it’s just amplif…

Because astroturfing and fake stars for projects are absolutely rampant right now. Hiding the stats makes it impossible to look at heuristics and essentially makes it even more use…

The big memory companies have been caught price fixing and been fined for it historically. So I’d wager that it’s bound to repeat itself. As far as Apple being to blame, that’s a w…

Did you use an LLM to write this for you? How odd. For all of you people who think these LLM models are “earth shattering” how the hell do you reconcile that it’s a net positive fo…

“Beyond clear” I wouldn’t say that confidently. Even now I’m not sure I agree with that, especially looking at it long term.

Yeah I'm there with you. I got lucky as a kid with delving into this as a hobby and it turned into a professional career. Thought we could change the world for the better, what we …

It's interesting to me that this is lower on the HN page than the Cloudflare post talking about the CVE handling even though the scoring is higher. EDIT: Now it's off the main page…

That's 100% because Azure isn't honest about their uptime.

Yeah it’s entirely business people and executives who make these decisions in most companies. Not the ones who use it or implement on it.

It's absolutely this. Our Azure outages correlate heavily with Github outages. It's almost a meme for us at this point.

Nearly every time Github has an outage, Azure is having issues also. Actually the last 4-5 outages from Github, Our Azure environments have issues (that they rarely post on the sta…

You can’t copy and paste markdown, nor can you use it in the native way in confluence. They have third party paid plugins that can do it.

I'd argue the opposite. The thing is so bloated and the simplest of things seem to be so hard. Import markdown in confluence? Nope not natively. Add an issue to the board? better g…

I’ll take clarity and actual RCAs than Microsoft’s approach of not notifying customers and keeping their status page green until enough people notice. One thing I do appreciate abo…

Both can be true.

It feels like that's the entire MO of the Azure platform as well. Make a minimum viable product and then get adoption by selling at all costs, despite the products edges.

We've ran into that issue as well, ended up having to move regions entirely because nothing was changing in the current region. I believe it was westus1 at the time. It's a ton of …

It's awful. Any other service in Azure that relies on the core systems seems to have issues trying to depend on it, I feel for those internal teams. Ran into an issue upgrading an …

Sadly Github moving more into Azure will expose the fragility of the cloud platform as a whole. We've been working around these rough edges for years. Maybe it will make someone wa…

Looks like Azure as a platform just killed the ability for VM scale operations, due to a change on a storage account ACL that hosted VM extensions. Wow... We noticed when github ac…
