I think if you start sending AI execs to prison for hacking other companies the "misalignment" may fix itself pretty quickly!

What reason do you have to doubt the claim?

Damn you're right, let's just not do anything good and useful for people

So cool! TIL that pencil lead can be a lubricant.

It is very weird to write all this about a nice series of photographs

Yikes! Wonder what's up with GCP in that regard.

I'm curious as to why with a system like Scylla (that I assume shares the same replication properties as Cassandra which my experience is based off of here) you can't just use the local SSDs and absorb the disk failures. If you space things out across AZs you wouldn't expect to lose quorum and can rebuild dead servers without issue. Is this to run things with a replication factor of 1 or something?

I've done this in past roles on AWS with their i3, etc. family with local attached storage and didn't use EBS.

Looks interesting!

We use instance store for Postgres and Cassandra now on i3 and i2 respectively.

Reddit gold opts you out of all ads, not that there are any ads on videos now.

Direct links have never been disallowed, either by design or policy, so not sure where you're getting that.

That's quite a bit of conjecture!

Thanks for the support!

We don't have a normal CDN, we have Fastly. They are really incredible at what they do, and this would not have been possible with our previous CDN partners.

We've been using Cassandra for 7 years since 0.7.
