Not sure what it says about Vision Pro for this to be the coolest use of it.

Sorry, usually not that snarky but.. c'mon...

Not saying they are doing a particular good job but its not as simple as "paying more for bigger machines" and be done with it.

Because scaling complex systems is not trivial

Please, go ahead!

I’ve been around long enough to remember people saying that VMs are useless waste of resources with dubious claims about isolation, cloud is just someone else’s computer, containers are pointless and now it’s AI. There is a astonishing amount of conservatism in the hacker scene..

The agent is free to maintain a fork of the project. Would be actually quite interesting to see how this turns out.

Indeed, nothing about the root issues are particular surprising but why they missed a critical service panicing across their fleet is not bubbling up.

My best guess is too many alerts firing without a clear hierarchy and possibilities to seprate cause from effect. It's a typical challenge but I wish they would shed some light on that. And its a bit concerning that improving observability is not part of their follow up steps.

I was about to ask if someone has network issues on AWS us-west-2. MTR here seems to point to some latency issues there..

This will make you end up missing crucial trace elements if not replaced somehow

I can second that. Had the Gemini. Never used it much because everything was awkward about it, from the lack of software/firmware to the keyboard until two years later the battery expanded and was bending the case. Not only refused planetcomputers to replace it for free, the only option they gave me was paying £125.00 and sending it in. I've asked if they can send me a replacement battery so I can do it myself but they refused, pointing out safety issues with mailing a battery - while asking me to send the Gemini with the swollen battery to them.

To be clear, this is not the Auschwitz museum. Point still stands.
