Cloudflare famously does anycast so the DNS answer you get is the same no matter where you're coming from. Your numbers there can't be attributable to DNS. On the contrary, Cloudfl…

You betray your ignorance of how parasocial OnlyFans and their ilk get. Yes, people get real connection out of it, whether its with who they think they're talking to or not. I thin…

God that's depressing. Even when you _pay_ for human connection you're being fobbed off onto an AI

This already happens in the opposite direction. See: news websites that drop their pay wall for GoogleBot

These reliability issues are starting to feel like a pretty big indictment of their product, which they are presumably using to write their software and build their systems. If _An…

"domestic" "mass" surveillance, two words that can be stretched so thin they basically invalidate the whole term. Mass surveillance on other countries? Guess that's fine. Surveilla…

RLMs are a new architecture, but you can mimic an RLM by providing the context through a tool, yes

Kind of leaving out a lot of detail there: - Amazon's $50B is only $15B, with the rest being "after certain conditions are met", whatever that means (probably an IPO, which isn't h…

Profitable, and yet missed their revenue targets in Q3, causing their stock to tumble. That's an emergency. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-06/dorsey-s-...

A lot of Japanese websites also have to be tremendously over provisioned because of how regimented the country is. A friend of mine worked infrastructure for a local newspaper, and…

One has to wonder when the board realises Dane was a bad replacement for JGC. These outages are getting ridiculous

Right, and the court decides wether that information is relevant anymore. You're suggesting we take that ability and give it to random third parties

Comment #47038433

You don't think "railway" at least conjures ideas about the company? It's not some random word. Not every company needs to be "helps you ship software quickly inc"
