Bit of both, really. There are some common techniques that would be a lot simpler or more robust if terraform would support variables and expressions like lambdas in more places (tofu is getting there…) but it’s also a failure to realize that terraform is ,rant to composite many small modules together and not just pass 150 different inputs into an Omni module.

> Unifi is the Apple of networking gear

They were founded by some people that left Apple.

> The apps are eventually going to have to detect HDR abuse

The latest android release has a setting that is the HDR version of “volume leveling”.

That quote left me with the same question. Something about decent amount of ram on one board perhaps? That’s advantageous for training but less so for inference?

> and there's still stuff like GitHub not handling IPv6.

And virtually everything inside of AWS still requires IPv4 so even if you have zero need to reach out to WAN, if you need any number of private AWS endpoints, you're going to be allocating some ipv4 blocks to your VPC :(.

> PCIe the only high-speed interconnect we have for peripherals to communicate with modern CPUs?

In a pedantic/technical sense, no. Practically speaking though, yes.

Misdirection. If I knock _you_ offline, its not going to be that difficult for you to put together a probable suspects list with me on it.

If it's going to cost me about the same in terms of resources to target you and a bunch of other people colocated with you, it's a bit less obvious who launched it and why.

> What's the alternative design where the model has access to API credentials?

All sorts of ways this can happen but it usually boils down to leaving them on disk or in an environment variable in the repo/dir(s) where the agent is operating in.

Ooof. When I heard "android things" I knew they had a problem. It was a google project that had little adoption and was killed only a few years after it was announced (so, better than average for google, then?).

I wonder what they estimate the "replace with newer" cost to be versus the "figure out how to deploy $modernAndroid fleet wide" costs. Bonus points if you express it as a percentage of CEO's compensation / company wide revenue.

> Flash was great.

It had a great number of CVEs, you mean?

_modern_ HTML and JS have eclipsed flash in all meaningful ways.

By stitching together an inconsistent hodgepodge of sometimes overlapping languages, technologies and APIs. On the user-side, I'm glad I don't need a proprietary player for such things any longer, but I sure hate doing anything remotely touching Web, in particular for the kind of highly interactive experiences Flash was good at.

In truth, the Web has eclipsed Flash, the player, but not the product.
