blibble··on AWS Adds support for nested virtualization
it's been in kvm since the mid 10s

and in Xen (which they used to run) for at least as long

blibble··on AWS Adds support for nested virtualization
depends on the workload and how they've done it

pure CPU should be essentially unaffected, if they're not emulating the MMU/page tables in software

the difference in IO ranges from barely measurable to absolutely horrible, depending on their implementation

traps/vmexits have another layer to pass through (and back)

not as if you could get in on it even if you wanted to

welcome AWS to 2018!

> I am one of the “haves” and am not looking forward to the instability this may bring. Literally no one should.

these people always forget capitalism is permitted to exist by consent of the people

if there's 40% unemployment it won't continue to exist, regardless of what the TV/tiktok/chatgpt says

blibble··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me
be nice, wouldn't it?

poetic justice for a company founded on the idea of not stealing software

blibble··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me
9 lines of code came close to costing Google $8.8 billion

how much use do you think these indemnification clauses will be if training ends up being ruled as not fair-use?

blibble··on Gemini 3 Deep Think
they think they're going to be the person making that decision

but forgot there's likely someone above them making exactly the same one about them

blibble··on X has under 30 engineers
probably as many real users too
blibble··on Amazon Ring's lost dog ad sparks backlash amid fears of mass surveillance
> I worked for Amazon for a couple years.

why am I not surprised

blibble··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me
worldcoin makes a market for human eyeballs

not a good idea

blibble··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me
this is exactly what I've been doing for the past 3 years

and my internet comments are now ... curated in such a way that I wouldn't mind them training on them

it turns out humanity actually invented the borg?

> There appears to be no way to stop AI companies from stealing your work and selling it on for profits

there is a way, just stop publishing anything and everything

small website you wrote to solve a minor tech problem for your partner/kids? keep it to yourself

helpful script you wrote to solve your problem? keep it to yourself

blibble··on AI agent opens a PR write a blogpost to shames the maintainer who closes it
wonder if it turns out humanity invented the borg?

seems rather apt to describe "AI"

blibble··on Amazon Ring's lost dog ad sparks backlash amid fears of mass surveillance
as a species, we are fucked if there's many people that fit your description

your kids have to live on this earth too, and they'll suffer the consequences of cowardly people like that

blibble··on Q&A: New UK onshore wind and solar is '50% cheaper' than new gas
that is the idea

but under the cfd mechanism the treasury takes the excess over the strike price

blibble··on Amazon Ring's lost dog ad sparks backlash amid fears of mass surveillance
this is entirely misses the point about exactly what makes it dangerous

there's nothing bad with having a camera to spot porch pirates, as long as the data stays private

it becomes problematic when everyone's hooked up to one central place (plus the "AI")

same as the common talking points about CCTV, which always miss the distinction that there's minimal risk if it's only going to some video recorder in the back of the store

it only becomes dangerous when every shop and house are fed back to one central location

and the general public do not understand the difference

> Meanwhile all these other AI threads everybody’s worried about losing their jobs

don't worry

AI will cause both losing your job AND climate change

blibble··on Amazon Ring's lost dog ad sparks backlash amid fears of mass surveillance
> They're probably all pretty normal interpersonally.

have you seen the cult like statements they make you emit if you want to pass the interview?

I had a colleague that interviewed there (and was accepted)

over the space of that month he completely changed

(and not for the better)

blibble··on Amazon Ring's lost dog ad sparks backlash amid fears of mass surveillance
that advert is just so horribly manipulative it's borderline evil

how can normal people go to work and produce this output?

(I suppose everyone that is prepared to work at Amazon corporate is... a certain type of person)

I need to turn this into one of those checklists like the anti-spam one and just paste it every time we get the same 5 or 6 clichés

blibble··on Railway (PaaS) global outage

could be called "entire" (https://entire.io/)

> Productivity improvements

jury's out on this one too

I can believe short term productivty gain

but from someone's who has spent years un-fucking codebases that were handed over to outsourced teams... this all looks very familiar

blibble··on Waymo exec reveals company uses remote workers in the Philippines
so they can't induce movement of the vehicle, at all, ever?

that's probably fine then

but if they can at all: they need a driving license

it is not unreasonable for a state to want to control who is allowed to move around 1.5 tonnes of metal in a public environment

blibble··on I started programming when I was 7. I'm 50 now and the thing I loved has changed
exactly

thankfully I started down the FIRE route 20 years ago and now am more or less continuing to work because I want to

which will end for my employer if they insist on making me output generative excrement

blibble··on Vercel's CEO offers to cover expenses of 'Jmail'
yes

and if it doesn't spawn up another $30 instance and add another RR entry to the dns

serving static content scales horizontally perfectly

blibble··on Jury told that Meta, Google 'engineered addiction' at landmark US trial
> not everyone can avoid immoral but legal work whilst trying to exist in this economy

let's be honest

everyone working as a software engineer at facebook is perfectly capable of finding employment elsewhere

working there is a deliberate decision to prioritise comp over the stability of the world
