Ask Google, Microsoft or Nvidia why it's not in fact the future of gaming. You need to be rich enough to have fast internet and pay an expensive subscription yet poor enough to fail to afford a GPU at home, all while accepting low bitrate and high input latency. It's not a large addressable market.

More productive in what way? Letting agents burn tokens to produce garbage output is not productive. And letting teammates read code that wasn't reviewed by a human submitting it also isn't productive.

If I work with one agent / few subagents on one feature I can steer it as soon as I notice it drifting into the direction of waste. This way I only review the total diff 1.5-2 times. And I also don't waste my own mental energy on context switching between tasks agents are producing diffs for in parallel.

My cluster recently started to failover every few days whenever it experiences the load to trigger scale up from 1-2 to 20+ acu.

And then I also encountered errors just like op in my app layer about trying to execute a write query via read-only transaction.

The workaround so far is to invalidate connection on error. When app reconnects the cluster write endpoint correctly leads to current primary.

I work with python codebases and consider comments that answer "what?" instead of "why?" bad.

LLMs tend to write comments answering "what?", sometimes to a silly extent. What I found helping for using Claude 3.7 was to add this rule in cursor. The fake xml tag helped to decrease the number of times it strays from my instructions.

<mandatory_code_instruction>

YOU ARE FORBIDDEN FROM ADDING ANY COMMENTS OR DOCSTRINGS. The only code accepted will be self-documenting code.

</mandatory_code_instruction>

If there's a section of code where a comment answering "why?" is needed this rule doesn't seem to interfere when I explicitly ask it to add it there.

>It only becomes a crime when you're absurdly over the limit.

I vividly remember my confusion learning about how many states in the US use an absolute value to turn speeding violation into a criminal charge, and namely Virginia which just a few years ago had that value set to 80mph (~130kmh) - a state with lots of interstate traffic and I-95 speed limit set to 70 mph (~115kmh).

And I could understand a predatory scheme set up by the government to generate revenue - set speed limit low, make fines really high. But in this case it's not clear to me what the state is gaining - throwing someone in jail for a weekend and labeling that person a criminal ruins their life for good but there's almost no profit for the treasury.

The pilot license is the largest obstacle to mass adoption, not even the price, in my opinion.

For fixed wing private flying you are looking at at least hundred hours fully dedicated to new knowledge and skills at an expensive rate. That's assuming you are proficient at learning and able-bodied enough to pass medical.

Unlike driving, when flying you can't just safely pull off to shoulder and stop to figure out whatever problem you are having. So there's a lot effort spent on ensuring whoever is flying is able to prevent known issues and handle emergencies in a non-tragic way.

But there are already regulations and companies with their executives are being held accountable against it. Does it matter how many badges the person designing the system is wearing if it complies with regulations and passes an audit? The problem with leaks to me looks like more of the nature of lax enforcement and few consequences when found in the wrong.

Is there anything stopping those teams from deploying k8s and every possible apache product onto these machines?

There's also middle ground in the form of Digital ocean's kubernetes which runs noticeably cheaper than big tech cloud offerings.

Airlines always check additional documentation for people with passports that do not get visa-free entry to destination. It's a liability issue - they would have to fly that person back if they are not let in.

Of course airlines do not care about documents allowing you entry to the departure point.

I don't follow how is this concerning. All people with more than one citizenship I know at least via a few handshakes use their passports exactly this way for travel.

Why would a Russian citizen go through the hoops of getting a Russian visa on their Czech passport? Does Czechia not allow dual citizenship to call the second secret?

American car companies push for large vehicles because those are exempt from strict emission standards. And the rest eventually started following because the US is the most lucrative car market in the world, even if their own country has different legislation.

Remove the loophole and everything gets back into place without any weird & local workarounds like Paris had to retreat to.

How much of Python in the world is ran on Azure? It's my language of preference and the main professional one, along with JS/TS and Go. But if they pulled something like this I'm pretty sure I'd reluctantly pack things up and move to Go.
