AI is absolutely, 100% not going to work out the way its being bet on. It's a race, and most races have a lot of losers. It's definitely, unequivocally, and without a doubt a bubble waiting to burst.

It's 2010. I have a simple application that is business critical but doesn't see much traffic or load. I deploy it to a VM. I would like high availability so I also deploy it to another, passive VM and take advantage of clustering. In the year 2010 we call this redundancy and refer to the...

Found the dumbass who can't properly cook a steak. "Cook it on high heat to medium rare". Why dont we just change your name to BrutulGreyBand.

Hes alluded to 16 being a shitshow as well (i think? I read these books so fast I gloss over some otherwise important details)

I think he's already foreshadowed a lot of that. Particularly Sheol (15) and 17. And probably 18 as well.

The S&P has returned like 14% on average over the last 12 years or so? Why would people concern themselves with beating that?

There is no magic. The purpose of virtualization was to decouple software from hardware, thus making the software durable and easy to migrate. Physical vs logical as you kind of touched on. Yet still to this day we have companies deploying entire code bases to multiple regions AND disaster...

I want you to read your post, the one that I quoted, from the standpoint of "words have meaning". And then contemplate how contradictory the entire thing is. Its magical how brainwashed people become in the tech space with buzzwords. The best possible example of this is virtualization, what it...

The more I think about it, the weaker the 10th floor was as part of the whole story. Especially the dynamic between the Crawlers and particularly Osvaldo. A lot of it seemed like an afterthought. The 11th floor and its revelations really saved the book imo.

I had a neighbor once who was pretty quiet and meek but had weird fantasies about "showing people who's boss" on internet message boards. Poor guy seemed pretty lonely. Wonder what happened to him.

I see you too are a man of distinguished taste

I never pat a steak with anything, ever. I salt it immediately and let it dry brine for at least 6 hours until the moisture gets drawn back in OR, if I want the steak sooner than that, I season it, bake it in a 200 degree oven until it hits 125, then sear it off.

This might get a good sear but the steak won't be as good. Either give it enough time to properly dry brine (i.e. the moisture naturally gets drawn back in, away from the surface) or reverse sear it. Never pat dry a steak.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is people use AI in the wrong way to try and simplify their lives. It's like AI makes them forget how anything and everything works. So using that example, prompting AI to do this type of thing can be efficient and a time saver. However people prompt and...

How many times can one contradict themselves in one paragraph? This isn't even really your fault. I blame the nebulous, dubious language that has steered technology "paradigms" over the last 30 years. "It's not wifi! It's mesh! It's totally different!"
