As a non-Amazonian I've never seen it, of course.

(In all seriousness, I've been reading AWS launch posts for 20 years; this one was mainly imitating the S3 Files launch post but I diverged by adding the customer quote and the FAQ -- because of course I started this process with a PRFAQ, and some of the questions in the FAQ are legitimately important.)

Yes, because Canada has a lot of cheap oil which America wants. If you deduct oil, the trade deficit runs the other way.

A cup of coffee has zero carbohydrates, trace lipids, and about half a gram of protein. That's not going to pull anyone out of a fasting state.

Now, if you're talking about a cup of flavoured milk, that's a different question...

It's a sign of how much the economy has grown that under "1% of GDP for a few years" now is far bigger than "over 10% of GDP for a few decades" was in the late 1800s.

For some definition of high? Standard foil is around 20 um thick while the oxide layer only goes about 10 nm deep.

But the claim of "LLMs aren't making a difference in vulnerability discovery" has been laughable to anyone who has been reading security advisories for the past 3 months. Just look at the Credits lines.

Security wasn't something CPU designers paid much attention to, and cryptography wasn't something they were even particularly aware of. Even seven years ago, when an Intel VP was giving a talk at re:Invent about "processor technologies for improving security in virtual machines", my question to him about cache collision side channel attacks was met with "what's a side channel attack?"

It just happened that "leak information into microarchitectural state and then retrieve it" didn't exist as a subfield until my work (and the OST work a few weeks behind mine).

(Reviewers at J.Crypto subsequently sat on it for a year and then suggested I submit it to a journal on CPU microarchitecture instead.)

Novel research is uniquely susceptible to "cool but it's not part of our field", because that critique is entirely correct until the research gets published!

This seems like a strange thing to say. Fine grained feature detection was around long before "microarchitecture levels" and never went away. The microarchitecture levels were introduced because they were easier to use.

Didn't they also run up against a "minimum free float" rule?

And the issue isn't whether you can remember what you changed yesterday; this is largely about making sure other developers can quickly identify relevant commits. If you're a solo non-OSS developer, this is entirely relevant to you.

Lots of "the other LLM clearly hallucinated this part". To be fair, it has never accused the other, err, itself, of being incompetent; it accepts that hallucinating is just something which happens.

Yes, OTC for everything. I've heard that some pharmacists ask more questions about types which are commonly abused by body builders but that's about the extent of it.

Funny story since you mention cats: My brother's cat was diabetic and prescribed long acting insulin which cost $250/vial. I looked it up and... apparently it was just relabeled lantus, because of course nobody is going to waste money on a separate manufacturing line. Ended up buying it from my local pharmacy, without a prescription, instead of using the vet prescription.
