I built a 40 (later 80) node cluster with clusterknoppix ~2006 to run a bunch of physics simulations off of old library computers after I replaced a bunch of PSU fans. Kept my cubicle toasty until we moved them into a random subterranean room I think was used for some early nuclear research at university.

you've had an account for four years, and _this_ is your comment?

SAT isn’t an IQ test, and probably all sorts of people took it before they had cultural awareness or a diagnosis that would have lead to different testing conditions had it been taken after diagnosis, let alone the fact that test scores are not comparable.

GPAs similarly not comparable over large time ranges, schools, or degrees without normalization you can’t get.

there’s really no limit to how many times and ways you can review something with AI, except dollars.

They are not all filtered early nor are they necessarily missing from images. The data can be embargoed until orbits change effectively.

Right, people haven’t internalized that these are really just scripts in natural language.

Oracle is the hilarious version of this -

9i - "internet"

10g - "grid"

11g - "also grid"

12c - "cloud"

26ai - "ai"

various other examples. One really annoying thing is this has also happened in open source projects too - generic things that, sure, help out with AI tasks are now "AI" things.

"rely" is overly strong in these cases usually (more like "make use of")

> The real core of infrastructure monitoring isn’t dashboards. It’s the alerts.

“it’s not X it’s Y”

at this point when I see this pattern in writing I assume most if not all of it is AI generated - same with em-dashes.

This is not to discount the idea that alerts are more important than dashboards (I work directly in observability) - but just to say that I personally shut off reading anything else with these patterns because, generally speaking, the rest of the content is just not original or interesting.

For files up to 100kB of size, this should effectively be really close to the same price as S3 when writing (didn't check reading so much, but the writes/PUT is always much more expensive than read/GET)

Would be really useful pre-compaction and to deal with small files issue without latency penalties

I have honestly not had that problem much. Being specific, concise, and strong with your prompts helps out a lot.

I find the people who end up with spaghetti code did so because they didn’t translate their normal processes over.

Being completely methodical about development really helps. obra/superpowers, for example, gets close but I think it overindexes on testing and doesn’t go far enough with design document templates, planning, code style guides, code reviews, and more.

Being methodical about it takes more time, but prevents a good bit of the tech debt.

Planning modes help, but they are similarly not methodical enough.

It would be interesting to make that sort of thing generic. A law couldn’t legalize something without backporting the legalization.

The sklearn to me is (and mirrors) the insane amount of engineering that exists/existed to bring Jupyter notebooks to something more prod-worthy and reproducible. There’s always going to be re-engineering of these things, you don’t need to use the same tools for all use cases
