hmm if you know how patents work, "Google having designed AV1" isn't same as "Google 100% sure AV1 doesn't have patent infringes"

even if you're google, you can't be 100% sure if there's some obscure patent lurking around the corner


hmm maybe aws should make datacenter locations secret?

I mean, why even publish those locations?

if this is purely for PR, they can publish fake locations...

if this is for VIP visits... well you can always send private invitations


But aren't they pretty hard to hide? I mean, they cover a lot of grounds, they have lots of infrastructure leading right to them...even if someone makes a few wrong guesses, it's going to be easy to find where the data centers are.

>Disclaimer: Please be aware that Amazon Web Services does not list its data center locations publicly. Hence all AWS listings in our database are based on publicly available information from third parties, open databases, property registries, construction applications, permits, tenders, news coverage and our custom research. There may be incorrect or outdated locations, as well as locations missing.

AWS doesn't disclose their locations.


> hmm maybe aws should make datacenter locations secret?

Open source intelligence today rivals the best of any nation. That would be virtually impossible to hide for long.


idk maybe AWS should create one?

I mean, if we can use "virtual-AWS", it would dramatically lower entry-barrier for devs/companies who are scared of "tales of huge aws bills" and such


I wouldn’t hold my breath. They do have a dynamo db fake, but they don’t even release the code for it! Perhaps they’re concerned about making it really easy to clone their stuff.

But we can still do that ourselves, dynamically interrogating the real thing and comparing it to the fake.


It hasnt really been a barrier to entry though has it, cloud adoption is doing just fine.

well if I know a specific LLM has certain tendencies (eg. some model is likely to introduce off-by-one errors), I would know what to look for in code-review

I mean, of course I would read most of the code during review, but as a human, I often skip things by mistake


Tbh as long as the PR looks good, its good to go for internal testing.

> frying a veggie burger in bacon grease

hmm gotta try that


I love black bean burgers (bongo burger near Berkeley is my classic), sounds like an interesting twist

Never fried one in bacon grease, but they are good with bacon and cheese. I have had more than one restaurant point out that their bacon wasn't vegetarian when ordering, though.

well you know 100% know what dependabot does

Leaves you open to vulnerabilities in overnight builds of NPM packages that increasingly happen due to LLM slop?

You can set a minimum age for packages (https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/reference/supply-ch...), though that's not perfect (and becomes less effective if everyone uses it).

> becomes less effective if everyone uses it

I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. Exposure and discovery aren’t that tightly correlated. Maybe there’s a small effect, but I think it is outweighed by the fact that blast radius and spread is reduced while buying time for discovery.


well maybe?

co-authoring doesn't hide your authorship

if I see someone committing a blatantly wrong code, I would wonder what tool they actually used


well dance festival is a 'military target' to them

Somehow with all the thingamajigs that the Israeli apparatus has, from spy networks to informants at the upper levels of the IRGC, and a heavily militarized population, and a heavily fortified border along both the West Bank and Gaza (even more than the Jordanian or Egyptian borders), somehow they still couldn't detect and stop a breach of their barricades.... Hmm.....

And let's not forget, all of this happened right when protests in the streets against Netanyahu were at their highest levels.

> If I found a group of terrorist sympathizers invading my property and dancing on it I wouldn't be very empathetic to them

But it would be your choice to commit terrorism back at them. Plenty of people across history have chosen both ways. It tends to go much better for one group over the other.


I don't think that's "terrorism" as much as it is self defense. The Haitian Slave Revolt and Indigenous American Pueblo Revolts come to mind as analogous military actions that produced positive results.

> don't think that's "terrorism" as much as it is self defense

Everyone says this. If October 7 had limited itself to military targets, this would have been different. If current polling showed Gazans pushing for only military retaliation, I think things would be different.

Everyone has the right to self defense. But everyone also gets judged by how they do it.

> Haitian Slave Revolt

Claimed territory with a plan for maneouvre. Not particularly comparable outside minor tactical elements.

> Indigenous American Pueblo Revolts come to mind

This is a good analogy. I’ll have to read up on it more. To wit, however, they eventually accepted the new—awful, unfair and racist, I may add, but survivable and superior to the alternative of endless war—status quo.

Well the Spanish returned and ultimately subjugated them but it's considered the reason that the South West was able to retain its indigenous culture and language to a degree not seen elsewhere.

Mind you this was 1680, which kind of brings into perspective how barbaric the Zionists have been to essentially recreate one of the greatest crimes in human history hundreds of years later, with a supposed framework of human rights that had developed since then.


> Get a paid number

how? I'm interested


Its pretty easy. You can register a number with a phone company. Then you decide on the cost (eg. 5 bucks / minute). I recall he told me got like 100-150 usd/month from this. The longer he talked, the more they paid. He used to hang up after 10 or 15 minutes, but his "record" was close to one hour.

well jokes on you: if it was 17th century, we peasants wouldn't even be allowed to use that service
