Cloudflare as well

Services like Cloudflare and Twilio have so many POPs globally that one or more always have an outage going on. Then there's the question of whether it's a major outage or a minor outage. Even though major status page providers like Atlassian and Incident.io have public status APIs (Cloudflare uses Atlassian), it takes more than just parsing them to determine what is "down" and at what granularity.

I run an outage detection service - and some of these issues, like parsing hundreds of - sometimes undocumented - status APIs, make for an interesting engineering problem.


With these guys you get into a weird world of "is it them, us, or upstream of both of us" all the time. I had been using Twilio's telco partner maintenance notifications as a way of figuring out if someone like Orange was responsible for a bunch of French end points independent of Twilio had network degradation.

I don’t understand one part of the licensing here: if it was just a license, can’t they relicense the software and hardware of LPU3 to AMD? Or hire new software and hardware people?

The new designs were their main asset besides the amazing talent that went to NVIDIA, not the remaining DCs.


The problem is the we couldn’t really tell part. Changes made to mature finished projects should be minimal and readable and understandable by humans.

Also rsync is handling copying binary data, it’s a project that’s super sensitive to hardware faults for example, which means it’s not just enough for the tests to pass.


> finished projects

rsync is not a finished project: it has hundreds of open issues (bugs, feature requests, ...).

"Finished projects" are a mythical thing that rarely exists in reality and even less in actually used software like rsync or the Linux kernel.


That's just throwing away money, $100 Codex will go back to 5x from 10x on May 31

Even if so (granted, if the mysterious "x" isn't also adjusted), I bet codex usage limits on $100 plan would still be more generous than Anthropic's $200.

I never even gotten close to token anxiety on codex $200 and it's essentially working 24/7. This was never possible with Anthropic since Opus came out.


Best-of-3 would be cheating, ruin the test, middle of 3 makes more sense

Why would you need the 3rd run if you pick the "one in the middle"?

Middle as in not the best, and not the worst. As opposed to the second generated in sequence.

But not the best/not the worst is somewhat subjective.. so not sure how well that would work.


I think GP meant picking the median pelican

It would not, but it's clearly not just a war with Ukraine.

Europe is sending the jet engines for the drones that are shooting Moscow, and Germany is very actively preparing for war with Russia.

It's not the first time in history that this has been done, and Russia still remembers.


The troops are Ukrainian on one side and Russian plus North Korean on the other. The fact both countries have supporters even if only a handful in Russia's case doesn't make them very at war.

Then said Russia could withdraw their multinational troops, stop their international drones, and enjoy peace for the first time in their history.

Because Russian drones have European parts as well (and Chinese and and), and the army recruits are not only Russian either.


I think you just implicitly agreed with me that Europe is in proxy war with Russia and it's escalating.

I think you just implicitly agreed that what I said is true - that it would be enough for Russia to go back home and everybody would be at peace.

Sure, that's what a war is about

Not really, I love the original Taycan. It's too bad the second generation looks a bit more like BYD/Model 3, I wish they would have stayed with the original design even if it means staying with lower range.

Elon negotiated with Nasdaq to automatically accept it in Nasdaq 100 index after 15 days, so the stock traders don't really matter.

I asked about this in previous HN discussions. The old rule: You had to wait three months. Is there a meaningful economic difference between waiting 15 days or ~90 days? I don't see it. (For transparency: I own ETFs that track the S&P 500, which has lots of overlap with Nasdaq 100.) To be clear: OpenAI and Anthropic will sure IPO this year or next and have a similar effect -- they will be (or nearly) trillion dollar market caps upon listing.

If you short the company during the first 15 days, your short will get wiped out by the passive index buying. Nobody is going to short the stock to protect passive investors. The short will happen after the bag holders entered the market.

Can you point me to a source that actually says that Elon influenced the Nasdaq?

The whole thing stinks, and we can create stories since some incentives are obvious.

Stock traders do matter since 30% of stock is aimed at retail (very unusual % - what is the norm?)

> SpaceX has successfully lobbied the Nasdaq stock exchange to loosen rules governing how and when it adds companies to its Nasdaq 100 index – a group of large-cap companies that it bills as “fundamentally sound and innovative.”

I’m sure the going of public of the large AI companies wasn’t on Nasdaq’s mind at all.

They already trained on it, now they don't want competitors anymore


>now they don't want competitors anymore

"They" aren't a single group. Broadly speaking, publishers are the ones suing anna's archive, and they're involved in suits against AI companies as well. I'm not aware of any efforts by AI companies to take down anna's archive.


The magazin was bought I think. There's always some interesting background of the stories.

Solarcity was clearly a great example of Elon's ,,no investor left behind'' philosophy: if he promotes a company and gets investors to invest in it, he is doing whatever he can to make sure that they at least don't lose their money (by merging it to a bigger company he controls), even if it wouldn't be the best financial decision.

So far this strategy has been working quite well for both him and the investors.


It would be better for investors if he didn't destroy all his products with both his obscene politics and also his little fantasy pet projects that no one wants. Eventually the house of cards will collapse. At this point all that investors can hope for is something akin to a government bond. Unfortunately one for a government that is currently excelling at depreciating anything related to it.
