I guess even anthropic fails to not get slop from ai ..

Last month, there has been a billing-related incident at work: it has been detected that the GCP bill had increased vastly since early 2026

The related team investigated, found nothing; They escalated to other teams, found nothing; Gemini, claude and whatnot were involved, found nothing;

Somebody raised to topic to me, solution has been found

See my point ? Like GP, I do not use AI. If there is only one person thinking left, being that person does not looks like a bad idea;

Mixing code and "productivity" is trying to remake coder as bluecollars, and most of them probably are (not thinking, replaceable cogs that are overpaid and shall be decommissionned), they will not be missing. The only coder's output is its idea, everything else is a mean to that end.

[..] that the wealthy business owners and investors and all the AI users are building for us.

A colleague of mine is fan of AI and we have, from time to time, serious discussion about that topic

Last week, I asked him in all seriousness: considering that everything you say is correct .. why the hell does you product still sucks ?!

He answered me: because of people

Perhaps people is the only problem that need solving :(

You are correct, AI is sold as a self-fullfilling prophecy

People are thinking that AI will become better than human. It is easier to make humans worse than AI.

Creating fake problems is not a caracteristic I would give to "a successful civilization" :)

"They create value for many people"

They create value for many people because these people are not paying the cost of the tool;

Yes

If we think a bit more, that may help the customers: companies like Sony would have to choice between either implement their own OS (increased cost, increase end product prices) or use opensource software

The topic would become a competitive (dis)advantage, not just a random topic for legal people

My take is that BSD-like licences are bad for humankind, but as a short-sighted person with no impact whatsover, it does not matter

He says that nato provoked the war and make sure no peace was found

Is that conflict a proxy war ? That would be the first time the US did that .. :)

What largest war in Europe since 1945 ?

Ha, you speak about the war between Russia and the US and friends

You are correct. Perhaps deal with all these people in the same way ? It starts with Biden and ends with countless others, all of which are equally guilty, all of which are fuelling a war needlessly.

Help from an industrial country would be required

Sad to read that Germany, that was once an industrial power, is now an empty shell :(

It's a matter of concentration

Hydrogen is a bad idea because it is dangerous (highly explosive) and also leaky, due to the size of the atom

To transport hydrogen, you need complex infrastructure (real cold trunk or whatever) and you still leak, so the overall efficiency is bad

Would that have been a bad thing ? Between a proprietary OS on which we cannot do anything and an opensource-based OS on which we cannot do anything .. I'd argue that making the company paying the bill would be more healthy

Are you saying that blue people does not use IA ?

Come on .. this is not worthy of HN, we deserve better;

You deprecated yourself in just a few years, so what ? Sure, that's a self inflicted armageddon for yourself, this is nothing on the grand scale of things

"as soon as you factor in the costs of insurance"

This is a self-inflicted cost for a state

Do they ?

Even a broken clock is right twice a day :)

"Shared address space, no overhead"

But concurrent access, so synchronization is required (lock or whatever), so overhead :)

Are they not ?

The future, like "work from home" kind of future ? Yeah, we have that :)

Once moved, you have more hot air.

No free lunch.

TL;DR: computers were a mistake.

Please share how to manage ~200k applications without containers

TTL caching

We are talking about 300sec (=5Min), this is never an issue

Please describe how you plan to use ansible to deploy config in ~200k containers, with hundreds of data updates per day

"How a new device bootstraps on the network without DNS?"

DHCP

Not sure what they are winning .. we kept them as a backup but they are so bad that they fail even there

"The real story here is that we typically see one or two kernel-level LPE (Linux privilege escalations) vulnerabilities that affect multiple distros/versions per year"

LPE: local privilege escalations .. Not "Linux priv escalations" ..

For the rest, nothing new under the sun
