To make matters worse, I’ve seen threads where people with these glasses discuss how to circumvent/disable the “now recording” light, so people won’t know when they’re active.
I am highly opposed to these glasses, but there's nothing you can do about it in public besides swearing at these people and not being friends with them.
Sometimes I have wished I had a handheld EMP gun for such situations. What are they going to do? It would be harmless to living beings and leave no trace. Their device would simply stop working suddenly.
It replaces DNS's pull-based architecture (contact a DNS server to get the IP address) with a push-based one (push the IP addresses to each /etc/hosts file).
Suggesting that a push-based, Ansible-based architecture will scale to hundreds of thousands of targets, with such pushes happening hundreds if not thousands of times a day, is a junior-level idea at best, dark comedy if I'm being charitable, and professional malpractice at worst.
This sounds a bit like saying: don't use MySQL, because it can't scale to one billion requests per second. How many applications are actually running at that scale?
The author specifically called out the Meta outage, as if he was offering a prescription ("It's easy to configure systems with tools like Ansible or pyinfra at scale") that would have prevented Meta (at Meta's scale) from suffering an outage. The argument that Meta should not have used DNS except that Meta runs at a scale where DNS is necessary... who comes up with these arguments?
The whole thing is nonsense. DNS is terrifically reliable, complex schemes to update it are often fragile. Replacing DNS with /etc/hosts and... a complex scheme to update it with ansible isn't exactly a fix. The author even admits the high profile DNS incidents weren't actually DNS servers failing.
It is pretty insane to switch from DNS servers to pushing domain config to every single client every single update.
From TFA
>There are multiple(1) high-profile(2) incidents where DNS was involved. In these linked cases, the root-cause of the incident isn't the DNS system itself. Yet, because the root-cause affects the DNS service - which is in the critical path for virtually all services - the incident has such a huge impact.
From AWS incident report linked in TFA
>The root cause of this issue was a latent race condition in the DynamoDB DNS management system that resulted in an incorrect empty DNS record for the service’s regional endpoint
Yes but in a weird way (at least on vanilla 3DGS) - it duplicates the splats on the mirror side.
Vanilla 3DGS cannot do any specular lighting or reflections - the color is basically baked in the splats. There's some active research going on to create richer Gaussian splats so we can do shading (or even ray tracing on it) - but haven't seen anyone using in production yet.
Either rely upon everyone else changing their behavior, or give up and use your LLM to re-compress incoming messages to be informationally dense as you see fit.
It's lossy tho. LLMs are crap at picking the "good stuff". Eg: the summary of the email covered the point about the family event but missed that the deal-terms were moving from Wyoming to Delaware.
Personally, I'm confident with my level of output so I'll continue to dutifully read all the crap that gets sent to me on company time. I'll just prefer to engage with people who communicate well and encourage that in others.
I also suspected this to be partially AI, especially when it says the cameras can “change height”?? And the vague images, like the one with the red “hotspots”.
The standard studied dose _is_ 5g, but the common advice you hear in the gym community is that you will see cognitive benefits from 10-20g or more, depending on your body mass. 30g isn’t uncommon. And, many believe that 5g may be too little for optimal muscle gain, again depending on your body mass.
Adverse effects, as mentioned, are mostly GI-related, some people experience bloating especially with monohydrate. Another effect is an increase in water retention, which, in turn, means you need to drink more water. It’s generally regarded as safe for the kidneys unless you already have reduced kidney function.
So, overall, not really a big deal to take well over the studied 5g dose. Not to mention the recommended loading dose is 5g 4x daily.
