Off topic but rhadamanthine? Is this word zeitgeist now?

Between this and crypto cryptocurrencies (which obviously can be used to make bets) I don’t know which is more destructive to society

Does smack of AI ness

The IPs listed in the output are from reserved ranges as well, like they were intentionally obfuscated (but this was not shared with the reader).

It’s the kind of obfuscation that AI would do (using esoteric bogon ranges as well)

Great! Considering you can’t swing a dead cat around Silicon Valley without hitting a superfund site, this seems ok.

People and businesses that are ok with being exploited and exploiting others, while externalizing the true cost of their products on to the environment and future generations by treating the air and land like an open sewer can do it elsewhere.

Not anymore than an occupied rental house with a bad tenant.

Many vacant homes in the SF bay have been that way for years and have appreciated tremendously.

Mant would perfectly prefer buying poorly maintained boomer stock, holding for roughly forever (in ideal markets, like the distorted California/Prop13) and leveraging it like a brick of gold. Actually having someone live in it doesn’t outweigh the risk of managing pesky tenants esp. when the houses are appreciating 500k over 5 years.

Digging through the raw source of pages these days is always interesting..

We’re in the geocities phase of LLM, mostly trash, very basic, but eventually, people will either get bored and go back to whatever it is they were doing or actually use the tools for useful and productive work.

As for the feelings that using LLM has when it one shots your project start (and does a pretty good job), have a German word:

Automatisierungskummer

(automation sorrow) • Kummer is emotional heaviness, a mild-to-deep sadness.

You might be amazed to know how critical Services are to functioning Apple devices. While they mostly can run offline, there are dozens and dozens of services that Apple runs that modern ecosystems require (like certificate related stuff). Other oddball things related to iCloud, APNS and the private services like iCloud relay are all extremely critical to billions of devices. Thankfully the all mostly fail open (captive portal is particularly tricky). Not saying they are as critical or visible as, say, Google.com going down, but none the less would have a very very large and visible problem if they all did go down suddenly. Thankfully, due to Apple design philosophy, most are totally decentralized and teams are given almost complete autonomy on how services are ran, which makes them a huge confusing mess but also, kind of a feature as Apple generally expects them all to fail in odd ways and the software can generally handle it.

The arid and sunny west ware prime candidates for solar, yet the current administration is doing everything they can to further destroy any chance a future of being carbon neutral with cancellations of many projects.

TFG cancelled a fairly far along project to build 6gw of solar in the Nevada desert just a few days ago known as Esmeralda 7.

The ineptitude and grift of this administration will haunt this country for decades.

The real crux of the issue is the long-tail of applications which were never conceived with anything but network-based trust. I'm certain the DoD is absolutely packed with these, probably for nearly every workflow.

The reason this was so "easy" for Google (and some other companies, like GitLab[1]) to realize most of these goals is that they are a web-based technology company - fundamentally the tooling and scalable systems needed to get started were web so the transition were "free". Meaning, most of the internal apps were HTTP apps, built on internal systems, and the initial investment was just to make an existing proxied internal service, external and behind a context aware proxy [1].

The hard part for most other companies (and the DoD) is figuring out what to do with protocols and workflows that aren't http or otherwise proxyable.
