The Vorta and the Jem'Hadar worship founders less than Paul Graham does.

They don't. Trying to monetize it was mistake #1.

Mistake #2 was letting the tech bros anywhere near it.

The sooner the AI bubble pops and takes all of these companies out, the better the world will be.

So someone re-implemented the Beowulf cluster. I guess the other Slashdot memes are ready to come back.

You should take the L on this one. Even if you got a "Show HN" post about JAI, I don't think the tech bros are going to be keen on a NSFW AI chatbot website. You still don't have a subscription offering after 2+ years. The users still wonder who in the hell pays to keep the lights on.

You just reinvented the compiler.

The AI bubble will pop in the next year. We are currently in 1998 of the dotcom bubble with another AI winter approaching. LLM and generative AI are this year’s “on the Internet” or “Uber for X” business plans.

I use it all the time for my QEMU VMs. It’s less hassle than OVS and allows you to configure some complex networks with just a few socket files and tunnels.

I use one VDE switch per network with each network having a single tap interface to my OS bridges. It has been a feature of QEMU since 0.15 and the performance is just as good as taps or OVS.

ERAM is multichannel, which is why we do the failover between A-channel and B-channel during APL and OS CUTO. If I remember the SSMs right, we do the update on the B-channel first and once it has been approved by TechOps, A-channel is then updated.

Everything is built to provide a fallback in cause of failure, including the OS updates when they come in.

I've been purchasing older O'Reilly books off of Ebay for the past couple of years. My most recent purcahse was Applying RCS and SCCS by Don Bolinger, which is split between RCS, SCCS, and describing software configuration management in general.

The SCCS interleave format lived in BitKeeper and PVCS/Dimensions.

We've been using Guacamole everywhere after OpenText EOLed Exceed OnDemand and tried to charge way too much for their replacement, FastX. The little bastards even demanded to know what our internal architecture was before they would give us a demo copy to test.

We told them politely where to stick it. Ever since then, we've been using Guacamole everywhere and even created an extension called CHIPS. The developer had a good sense of humor for that.

I use a PIV Badge as a FAA contractor. We're told to never use the PIV badge as a means of identification anywhere. The documentation doubles down by mentioning to never use it as an ID at an airport. I've been told it is because FAA employees would use it and the airline workers would then freak out that the employee was there to inspect them.
