Horrifying sure, but I am curious what is the motivation here. We use more lambdas and for more things than are generally considered kosher... one more couldn't hurt.

Took me a while to notice that I wasn't receiving weekly summaries of books linked in HN. I've discovered plenty of gems on this subscription and I'm just wondering if we all colle…

Thank you sir. I know what I can do for the next few days!

TIL, thank you sir. Gonna try this out tomorrow.

I thought diet intervention is the primary treatment prior to dialysis. With the goal of prolonging the time until mechanical intervention or replacement becomes necessary. But I'v…

Only for the first few people who do it and it will come at a great cost to everyone else. Classic collective action problem at work and down right dangerous thinking. If even a fr…

The communication delay is one of the key plot elements in The Three Body Problem books.

Yeah but the AI could pretend it knows.

Someone here wrote a POC. They happened to be fairly high up, not C-level but well respected. Basically, I can save x% cost using this. You can bootstrap that if you're not high en…

This is oddly similar to what we're doing. Except my team is heading towards sagemaker against my wishes.

Does the use of neonicotinoids not also affect the native pollinators? I was under the impression that the issue is not solely honey bees but all insects. (Honey bees being a usefu…

Yes, but isn't it predicted that the average life expectancy of the current generation will be less than that of the prior generations?

You've sold me!

Double down on this. I want to work in Aerospace, but not for the military industrial complex. Who do I work for?

I've run into this problem. But I believe the parent was referring to the situation where new lambdas spin up and aren't immediately ready to respond to invocations. The delay can …

There is an absolutely solid book on the subject of how NASA comes to make decisions. The Space Shuttle Decision[1]. I say solid and not good because it's easily the most boring bo…

I picked up this book based on this quote from Aaron and absolutely struggled through it. Taking over a year to read completely. And then in the end, he was correct. I did wish the…

Thanks

~Or send them to your dwarven workshops to make mugs, tables, doors, and thrones.~ They're already rich so no need for further trade goods at this point. Best to continue to dig de…

Could I trouble you to give me an example of the second one? Something rust provides that might be better to learn the hard way?

I came across this when I attempted to run wow in linux after upgrading my gpu and ram. This was this month, and last time I logged in was in Legion. Exactly as you describe but yo…

This sounds like an amazing pain in the ass. I wonder if this impacts my own lambdas.

Whoever this woman was, she was an engineer working at a cutting edge computer company in the 1970s. She likely suffered ridiculous prejudices to get to the point where she was. I'…

Don't leave out the rest of the quote. >"Yes, it really annoys me," she said. "On the other hand, he is the only one who ever explained quantum mechanics to me as if I could unders…

Gonna try using rust this year as well. I have no background in rust at all so I'm a bit excited for the extra experience of trying a new language.
