Who is in space? Well, Tim Curry of course!

Doesn't fingerprint mean that someone could knock you unconscious and unlock it with your finger? I don't know if I'd install my bank apps here.

Im not normally around people willing to do violence to get my phone,

That's possible, but unlock doesn't work after death.

I was actually looking forward to a smaller iPhone. To have less addictive screen time. It looks like the Air was a once-thing. I don't see them releasing an e-ink phone either.

Maybe the answer lies in only wearing an Ultra watch if it becomes powerful enough and can function independently of a phone.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing but I actually think the current Apple watch is already powerful enough.

Daily life is ok with it but most of the issues come from banking and governmental apps.

I wish society was not as keen on making everything go through smartphones nowadays.

This gives new meaning to the fish shell (fishshell.com)!

This is one of the scenarios where I feel we as engineers should have been more diligent in publicly writing down what techniques have worked in which scenarios and what haven't, and the AI could have gathered decades of operational knowledge and provide proper guidance to architects designing new systems. It's also true that we're witnessing unprecedented levels of scale.

Thundering herds and circuit breakers are extremely well documented and practiced in production. AI absolutely knows about this.

But knowing when to use which strategy and when a simple retry suffices is precisely the type of thing humans will remain to be better at than AI for the foreseeable future.

I think the “thundering herd” problem is pretty extensively documented

Maybe the retry logic was vibecoded instead of using an existing hardened library. After all, according to Twitter, nobody is looking at the code anymore.

> instead of using an existing hardened library

A lot of retry libraries I’ve seen require the user to configure them. You can use a library with all the right settings, but if you configure it wrong, you are really no better off than if you hadn’t

Meta commentary but it felt fresh to read a long wall of text that didn't seem to be AI generated. Thanks.

How is this meta commentary when this or its negative version is present on literally every post.

First: Whataboutism, and second: Those are meta comments as well, they just don't declare themselves as one.

I think that the new version of this is using your work's LLM account (potentially more powerful) to do personal work

That seems absolutely crazy to do. One could argue that the marginal cost to work for using a work laptop is zero and the work is still yours (still beyond the risk I’m willing to take). Using a company’s AI account is literally using the company’s resources for a personal project. There is no plausible case where they don’t own it.

Honestly, of the two scenarios, this one is the more likely to fall on the employee's side.

We haven't really tested the legal precedent for ownership of LLM outputs very thoroughly yet, and I'm willing to bet a bunch of us still have employment contracts that haven't been updated to cover LLM use...

That potentially consumes a lot more resources than the very negligible marginal wear and tear that using a work computer would cause.

There was a brief moment in all the hullabaloo that this went unnoticed :X

Are there modular databases with clearly differentiated components? I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't, as the trade-off with modularity is usually performance.

So, can I run this on top of RustFS? And RustFS on top of this?

Kind-of should work :)
