The focus of this seems to be entirely AI agents, but I wonder if there's a future where browsers implement this and us humans can finally get micropayments in the web. It's been tried unsuccessfully many times but always falls prey to the chicken-and-egg problem. Maybe the AI hype will finally give it the push it needs for widespread deployment.

I can't tell you why Fargate is so slow, but the reason Lambda containers are so fast is because it doesn't actually load the image. It loads a manifest of the layers and the files in each, and then each file is loaded on-demand from a multi-tier cache. 90% of the image is never loaded, and 90% of the remainder is served from local cache. It's a pretty cool architecture.

> So, the "Ai is not the default" claim is bullshit

Where was this claim made? Nowhere in the article says that.

I assume Blueberry is a nod to the machine being a Raspberry Pi.

I can't make sense of your comment, but whatever you're trying to get at is wrong: Table sugar is sucrose. Corn syrup is mostly glucose and contains no fructose. HFCS is commonly produced at 42% and 55% fructose formulations. I don't think HFCS is meaningfully more or less harmful than any other sugar, but chemically there's a significant difference.

It's not quite that dire. Statewide 69% normal to date. Snowpack peaks March-April, so still have a ways to go in the season. https://snow.water.ca.gov

But yeah, snowmelt plays a huge role in supplying water into the summer, so just looking at precipitation totals isn't the full picture.

That's hilarious and right on brand for Google that they spend millions developing cutting-edge technology and fumble the ball making a chat app.

They had a pretty massive one earlier this year. https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1S...

This isn't GCP's fault, but the outage ended up taking down Cloudflare too, so in total impact I think that takes the cake.

us-west-1 is the one outlier. us-east-1, us-east-2, and us-west-2 are all priced the same.

Case in point is recent-ish Google Cloud downtime, which ended up taking down Cloudflare and half the internet with it.

> IIRC the wisdom of the time cloud started becoming popular was to always be on-prem and use cloud to scale up when demand spiked.

I've heard that before but was never able to make sense of it. Overflowing into the cloud seems like a nightmare to manage, wouldn't overbuilding on-prem be cheaper than paying your infra team to straddle two environments?

Do you have any sources for that? I'm really curious about Glacier's infrastructure and AWS has been notoriously tight-lipped about it. I haven't found anything better than informed speculation.

That's exactly what they're doing, it's just driving engagement for their sales:

One thing I've always wondered: How do pre-compiled binaries take advantage of new instructions, if they do at all? Since the compiler needs to create a binary that will work on any modern-ish machine, is there a way to use new instructions without breaking compatibility for older CPUs?

But the npm/JS doesn't work that way.

NPM will by default create a lockfile that pins the dependencies. `npm install` will install dependencies from the lockfile as long as package.json hasn't been updated, or update the lockfile if it has. `npm ci` will install from the lockfile and fail hard if it can't satisfy the version constraints in package.json.

imo this gives the best of both worlds: Easy, controlled updates to the latest compatible versions and stable CI/CD.

The reason color.js was an issue is because people use `npm install` in their CI and either don't commit their lockfiles or have their lockfile inadvertently out of date—It's easy to do and I'm not sure how many people actually know about `npm ci`.

What's wrong with the async/await syntax?
