True, but a rounding error compared to the HashiCorp bill...

A good alternative is to just run your Terraform yourself in Github Actions or Gitlab CD, and host your state in S3. We are using open-source Terramate to orchestrate Terraform, and it makes the transition and operations super easy.

5s for Docker containers vs 20ms now ... holy moly, this is fast

Otel is indeed quite complex. And the docs are not meant for quick wins...
Otelbin [0] has helped me quite a bit in configuring and making sense of it, and getting stuff done.

The lessons from Ukraine war:
- "zerg" cheap mass produced unit approach is superior to "protoss" expensive but few units
- if you have expensive kit, better hide it in a drone/mid range rocket proof shelter
- pilots are a bottlneck resource in a peer war
- "jack of all trades" systems are inferior to "do one job well" systems

This is related to an earlier post [0] and shows the underlying open-source repo.

This looks amazing.
1- Is there an option to run your own "kraftcloud" in your own cloud account?
2- How does this compare to companies leveraging eBPF to squeeze more performance from the Kernel?

This is surprisingly elegant and simple... whish I had found Mirascope like three month earlier.
On the repo roadmap section I am seeing RAG support coming up, this would be extra nice for my use case. Any ETA?

Hi William, super nice tech. Alas, I am suffering from lack of imagination, can you give some example use cases where this tech would really shine?

- team are scientists from the Wendelsten 7-X stellarator plasma physics experiement
- want to innovate on the two most impactful learnings from the experiment towards commercial fusion power, namely
- using high temperatur superconductors in these weird shaped magnetic coils
- 3D printing the water cooling vessels for the divertorComment · 3 years ago
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) have found a way to significantly reduce the distance between plasma and divertor by modelling the X-point radiator.

This was a plasma physics experiment to prove continous operation. Apparently going from 8 min to much larger timespans is less of a leap now.
Next stop in research: divertor design. Right now the divertor is still a challenge, as it heats up too much when the plasma gets hotter. You can see it in the video, the area that gets really bright in IR.
After the divertor is figured out, the blanket comes next. Neutron embrittlement of the structure is another issue. So power generation is still way out there.
Still, a great day for plasma physicists over the world. Decades of hard work went into this. Congrats!

> It's just a "weapon" by the EU to attack any company they want. I'm pretty much sure if I made a hello world program in C, they'd find a clever way of fining me.
Not so. Your hello world in C be just fine. Only if you track data of users that happen to live in the EU. Don't track and you absolutely will not violate GDPR.
Discord broke the law in France and gets fined according the the laws in France.
The flagged issues could have been easily avoided by having a proper GDPR trained lawyer review the service and suggest changes.
