That's good for you but the demand is so low SpaceX is leasing a considerable amount of its compute to Google and Anthropic to compensate. Regardless of whether it is useful, it is clearly not popular

I just don't see the average consumer ever needing more than 10gbit. In fact, I can tell you right away most consumers wouldn't notice if they were running 500mbit vs 1gbit.

4G has been enough for a decade, 5G was mostly just an infrastructure and capacity improvement and most consumers could never tell you they notice a difference between the two. The human eye can only see so much resolution, we don't need 8k video. I don't think consumers will need more than what they already have. At least until some new novel media format that gulps down bandwidth comes around.

This isn't necessarily all bad news. There is still a push for higher bandwidth for datacenters etc, which will keep pushing technology forward, hopefully making consumer and ISP grade equipment cheaper.

If I built a house I'd probably run ethernet. Maybe play around with a 10gbe core network. But it wouldn't really give me any benefit, it's not like disks are that fast anyways.

to be fair "nobody" is using grok either

Working with k8s myself I'm somewhere in between you and the article on opinion. I think k8s is good when you can afford to hire a person dedicated to managing it (or at least find someone with experience in running it that can make it part of their MO)

That is, k8s is probably best considered when you are beginning to consider having an infrastructure department, or if one of your early hires knows Kubernetes and is opinionated in a way that is less "throw cool and complex stuff at the wall"* and more "the 5 things I want in a k8s cluster that I don't want to spend much time on and should just work"

My understanding of the 2000s and 2010s was that there was a big focus on inventing self service deployment systems for developers, and k8s is that solution(!), for the same scale that would begin considering re-inventing the wheel internally anyways

Vibecoded website with poor UX. Loving that the website is both trying to be fancy by having a floating player you can drag around with a playlist, while also wiping everything if you click the wrong link. No human made this, or paid it any attention at least.

Sadly non technical people do not see future risk and any warning prediction is a slippery slope fallacy. Yet we now hear the echo of privacy advocates of the 2000s and 2010s saying "I told you so!"

This shouldn't be a surprise. But at this point it feels like if you don't completely avoid participating in digital society, your data will be used against you or groups/countries you support.

I found it very ironic that this article, which in practice is trying to solicit customers, is both talking about a fundamental weakness of LLM while also trying to sell AI consultation. In reality as many have said here you cannot have untrusted data in the context. There isn't that much more to say.

Prompt injection is XXS without possibility of sanitation. There is no absolute cure.

I totally believe you that people inside have asked. I think part of the problem is that the people actually making the decisions higher up do not care and aren't really invested in these issues.

To the point that some guy vibecoding for a bit and deciding it was fun had more effect on the company's ability to open up an abandoned product than an entire consumer movement that has been lurking in the zeitgeist for ages.

as other has said, it is sad that it took that a CTO had fun to open it up, and not the rest of the public discourse about things like this.

I'm happy he had fun and all for him making decisions based on it. But it shouldn't have taken this.

I feel like this is reducing the problem to a simpler one. Of course you'd expert larger product decisions to be made by a technical leader. The problem here is that devices being locked down is something being fought against, repairability is a big topic for discussion, and some companies even try to play into it pretty hard, like Framework and seemingly Valve.

Yet, to this Meta CTO, this wasn't really a concern until he vibecoded something and decided everyone should be able to have this fun. It say's something about his (and probably other people in his position) awareness of public opinion and discussion.

Even sadder. Turns out all we needed to not have our old devices locked down was the CTO having some fun

It is sad that it takes a Meta developer having some fun to realize they should open up ADB.

This isn't the repairability and reuseability of old devices mindset people have been begging for. This is some guy using internal privileges to having some fun, and deciding the rest of us should get a piece of the fun as well.

This is a "happy story" in the same way it is a "happy story" when some kid successfully fundraises a classmate's cancer treatment because the healthcare system neglects them.

Meta are making the glasses something you could be punched for wearing.

I live in a big city and I love it because i feel anonymous - nobody cares who I am. It's a stark contrast to where I grew up, where if you were out in public with someone unusual you could hear about it at school the next day.

I think the age of anonymity in public is getting to a close. First government mass surveillance and now private mass surveillance (which will surely be funneled into government surveillance over time)

Github-based spam has always been a problem but it feels like in recent months it has become worse. I keep getting e-mails about being "hand-picked" for new exciting jobhunting platforms - the e-mails of course are styled just like any page you get when you ask claude to "make me a moden html + css webpage".

The worst part of hustle culture is that what I believe to be 99% of the noise is:

* Stupid things that will never succeed

* From ignorant people just trying to make a quick buck, whom I want no involvement in

Nobody believes in your "spam every github e-mail account" jobhunting site. Thousands have spammed before you. You are nothing but noise.

They are probably counting every single http request rejection as an evil bot

Now imagine OpenRouter but for free support bots.

This is a somewhat unpopular opinion but I find it depressing that this is what the so-called elite FAANG engineers are able to come up with.

Or maybe even more sad, this is what a FAANG product manager is able to pass through layers of "are you mad"

haha i sure hope it's the newest Windows which is the most <good thing>

This reads as lip service for investors with no real life value. "Remember guys, we are still AI frontier material!"

"Your browser appears suspicious because it looks like you are trying to hide your identity"

Another case of the much predicted downfall of freedom due to "people who hide themselves must have something to hide, so they are automatically suspicious"

Oh yeah definitely, if he went in for doing software he would make millions for free.

Now waiting for some VC-backed AI company to pick up PewDiePie like they did with the OpenClaw guy.

For some context, this Norwegian cartoon by a group that used to make satire for the government run news agency is a pretty decent summary of how things were discussed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mkuP6kQwNs.

The old man is a caricature of Jens Stoltenberg (who seems to be running the Norwegian economic machine rather well nowadays, controversial or not)

Of course, some back-and-forwards is healthy.

In a good system both sides fight for their interests, and the outcome is some middle road compromise that optimizes for everyone's benefit.

In Norway the oil fund are actively arguing against boycotting these kinds of companies saying, and I paraphrase: "but our job is to earn money and we can't do that if you hippies keep standing in the way with your morals"

Good to see it isn't necessarily the case.

I think this is part of it. I have heard some people turn to prostitution to afford working for the mickey mouse company in Tokyo. Second hand accounts. People go to insane lengths just to work at their dream place.

Yep its basically the same in Norway. I live 20 min by train from the capitol - we used to have multiple bank offices in the downtown area. They are all closed now. My now retired father got a shock when he, not really keen on dealing with technology, was unable to find a physical office to visit.

The other part of the problem not discussed in this article is that many services now require digital ID. Banks don't really have many physical locations any more, etc. So not having a digital ID is seriously impractical, and it didn't have to be this way. That is IMO a big factor for why digital ID is receiving so much flac: "Digital ID isn't something everyone can have, and for the corner-case people, the alternatives are drying up due to over-digitalization"

To be fair a part of the problem here is that BankID is so common it has become the "Jacuzzi of EID" or the "Google of EID" or whatever your poison is. So all EID-related discussion in public is now "Why aren't we just adding BankID".

Sure, some policymaker will probably interpret this as "introduce EID" but it does color public debate.

I think it's a shame MinID doesn't have the same level of security as BankID, we are really missing out on a great opportunity. But something tells me the powers that are in Norway's socialite community doesn't want it. In Norway we don't have that much monetary corruption, but we have a lot of "kompistjeneste"
