In the pages you linked there's not much writing to really get a taste (https://k.nyc responds with an unclosed <div> containing the letter k, come on), but I found some language examples in
> Providing a Torrent for this amount of data is not easy whatsoever. We are currently working on creating a Torrent that includes all data, but this may take a few weeks.
What do they mean by this? I understand that it would be a download on the order of 26TiB (if we extrapolate from the recent 200k^2 download, which is a ~1TiB torrent[1]). If bandwidth costs are the issue (certainly it's an issue) they could throttle their seeding speed and let the swarm seed it. That's what bittorrent is for.
Why are phone calls or SMS under attorney-client privilege[1] but AI transcripts of a call with an attorney isn't? I was under the impression there isn't any expectation of privacy from phone carriers either. AI's recording of a conversation is actually more like a fourth-party, no?
That comment seems off-topic, but just to exemplify:
In your example even as the interface for those products is unstable (UI that changes all the time, slightly broken API), those products are coded in a language like C++ or Java, which benefit from compiler error checking. The seams where it connects with other systems is where they're unstable. That's the point of this blog post.
I've always found system administration much harder than "coding". You get parser and compiler errors for a lot of your mistakes, but administering a server you're testing it all at runtime.
I didn't know file descriptors worked like that admittedly. Also instead of moving the files couldn't we copy them to the new root and pivot_root then?
Don't you get any errors even if you race immediately to start pivot_root? pivot_root also won't modify all open file descriptors at once. Seems it's not fatal, but have you managed to do this over ssh and not be disconnected?
Shouldn't Baidu (or Google) hoard it for themselves to extract the value in a way the competition isn't be able to imitate?
