Those inconveniences prevent tragedies like this one.

Even assuming they didn't have prior knowledge, I don't understand why AWS is going to take 24+ hours to incorporate an upstream fix.

Interesting. Jev is certainly faster but it was wrong quite a bit more than I was.

I'm still amazed at how many problems people come to me with which I am able to resolve immediately by reading the error message they are looking at!

Plug in solar inverters turn off when they detect a loss of grid power. Anti-islanding is a requirement for them to be certified.

These systems monitor for a loss of grid power and turn off when they detect an outage. UL 3700 is the standard, if you want to read more about it.

Isn't that what Sora was?

Those aren't really equivalent. Iran is affecting the supply of oil, an input. China can affect the supply of solar panels, but they would have to do something pretty drastic to affect the supply of the input. Sunlight is going to keep reaching the solar panels that were set up prior to any kind of embargo.

I think maybe they're making a joke about the Ruger Mini-14? It's a rifle.

Wasn't that a limited time promotion from OpenRouter? I didn't see anything from OpenAI themselves.

Volume is the problem. There's so much more of it now. Many platforms I used to enjoy are just overwhelmed with valueless content.

Right, but oil transiting the strait is down below 25% of its normal amount.

I know of a guy who, before attending in-person meetings for the first time with new people, sends the message "FYI, I am 7 feet tall." He's gotten enough weird looks or outright stunned people that he takes precautionary measures.
