Honestly, Kubernetes has no moat. Give me a better, more simple alternative any day.

That's strange. Even in my hobby-toy app, I have a TOS that I bump whenever the terms meaningfully change, and in my app, it forces a re-acceptance of the new terms before using the app again.

I hope you're right. I am not informed - is this typically how these decisions get challenged?

Good to know - I hadn't considered the proxy bit.

For me, right now, I think it's conceivably a security advantage if the source isn't public. I know security by obscurity isn't a strategy alone, but with an incredibly difficult surface area to attack, I think user's using the app are very well protected, except for against nation states.

I used to agree with this, but now I don't actually think I do. Apple's app privacy report can be used to guarantee network access for any iOS app - https://support.apple.com/en-us/102188

Signal is on the right side here. I think it's time for us techies to fight back by developing the future. I'm trying to do my part - https://mediaden.ca

Also looking to get involved with the meshtastic project.

A few, but the one I use regularly and am quite proud of is

https://mediaden.ca - iOS app for storing encrypted photos/videos on storage I (the user) exclusively owns, with zero servers, zero telemetry, and a host of other privacy related features.

I don't think that's a fair point at all.

Some humans do shit things to other humans.

Some humans do not, and would object to it, or do something about it if they perceived that they could.

Also, treating the world around you negatively doesn't just harm the world around you - it damages your character and your morality.

I don't disagree that humans should on whole do better, but I disagree with everything else you said.

I think that's a bit of a false dichotomy. It should be possible to live in the US and resist the surveillance state. Keep fighting.

Right, just the worst of all possible worlds. Computer generated video is going to make this mess a whole lot worse too.

Toothless regulation fails to yield meaningful change - shocker.

I have a different take. I empathize with the author, but my experience is quite different. I have a couple of side projects going, not dozens, like the author mentioned, but my approach with each is heavily focused around verification and testing. The AI is doing all of the development, but I maintain a strict set of documentation defining what properties I want the product to achieve. Everything cyclically is evaluated vs. my view of the world.

Unlike OP, I want to maintain these couple of projects. I am maintaining these projects. They are getting better daily, and my confidence in them is increasing, not decreasing.

Sweet I get to tell my team we can move off of dapr workflows

Read the post.

edit: "This feature, spotted by iDeviceHelp, was originally revealed as part of an expansion of the company's family tools designed for children's Apple accounts."

Pretty clear, this was at least in part designed to prevent child sexual abuse.

That's exactly what I thought.

Interesting! Hope they have a super lean team, and just focus on the niche, legacy web experience.

What makes you say that it was poorly written? I actually quite enjoyed it. I don't know if that says more about the writing, or me.

In english lit as a high-school student, I always thought I did reasonably well on my assignments, but consistently got C's. It was very infuriating.

This is the bigger point of all of this. Scary.

Callous take. You make it seem like only Google was giving here. If Google was routing users to OP's site, surely OP had something beneficial to give.

Oh, I see what you mean. Eh, it's possibly the same reason that AWS essentially goes down when us-east-1 goes down.

I don't quite know what you mean. Do you really expect Railway to use a multi-cloud architecture to host all of their client's projects? I suspect that would lead to a lower availability, all things considered.

Yikes. I was wondering why my TLS certs were coming up as invalid.

> I would really like to see professional, established coach running around with young prodigies on a peak of their biology.

This is a really strange nit. You are aware it's an analogy about skill and role. To reduce this to being about biology and the impacts of senescence on ability is weird, and doesn't really apply here.

> I wish that each such generative AI service came with a brief but conspicuous warning

This would get ignored so fast - I have no confidence this is a meaningful strategy.

Cool story. The treat at the end was fun as well, thank you!

Yikes, Schemata and that delinquent CEO should be held accountable.

This comment doesn't add anything novel to the discussion, but is worth adding I think because hubbers and MSFT folks read HN - I too am evaluating leaving personally. Professionally, we're talking about it loosely, and if it continues it will become an increasing likelihood.

Have you run a system in production? There are a multitude of reasons that a system can go down. There's no indication so far from Anthropic that this was merely compute limitations.

Thanks!

Unrelated, but archive.ph links don't seem to work with nytimes anymore.
