This is for the dozen or so people that don't have Chrome installed.

I personally haven't had Chrome installed anywhere in years. I think there are more than a dozen of us!

“99.99 percent of the people I’ve met have been the very best in humanity,” he said. “The world is a much kinder, nicer place than it often seems.”

I wish everyone could experience this, internalize this. Sometime in my 20's or 30's I cast off any fears that I had about people and the world in general. And it was like a huge weight was left behind.

I started to believe that it was paying too much attention to the news (especially cable news when it became a thing) that had come to shackle me with fear. Getting out in the world, traveling, making yourself vulnerable even (and nixing cable) were all things that made me start to love the world and people more. (My kids know me as the Pollyanna of the family.)

I suppose I am armchair psychologizing now, but I often see fear behind a lot of people's behavior (and even some friend's) and I feel sorry for them: I see them missing out on a lot of life experiences.

100% agreed, it’s been my experience traveling for the past ten years as well.

Sigh, the only upgrade for my 12 mini is still the 13 mini?

Same here. I’m going to get a new battery soon, so that’ll give me a few more years. I’m hoping something comes along in that time that I want. Otherwise, I may just go to a Japanese eInk phone.

I will likely be downvoted.

Anyway, Americans needed to show off their newly acquired nuclear capabilities. Not to Germans or to Japanese. And not to Italians. It was needed to demonstrate their superiority to Soviet Union without bombing the Soviet Union.

As someone else's here already posted out, military heads made it clear that bombing Japan was not needed for their surrender.

None else had gone that far with nuclear energy and bombs. Likely.

IMHO it was needed for something else much more political.

This is specifically called out as a reason in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. I was there just a few weeks ago. It's also available here:

"The United States believed that ending the war with an atomic bombing would help prevent the Soviet Union from extending its sphere of influence."

I use Berkanan for just this purpose. Sometimes my partner and I don’t sit next to each other, and it’s an easy way to message.

So are Black people not people? Because we’re the ones who have been celebrating it for nigh on a century. I just want to be clear what you’re saying.

Wow just saw this interaction. Sorry about that racist ass’s comments.
nabeards commented on What would a Kubernetes 2.0 look like   matduggan.com/what-would-... · Posted by u/Bogdanp

This is simply not true, maintaining a k3s(k8s has a few gotchas) cluster is very easy especially with k3s auto upgrade as long as you have proper eviction rules (maybe pod distruption). Ceph can be tricky, but you can always opt for lemon or longhorn which are nearly zero maintenance.

There's thousands of helm charts available that allow you to deploy even the most complicated databases within a minute.

Deploying your own service is also very easy as long as you use one of the popular helm templates.

Helm is by no means perfect, but it's great when you set it up the way you want. For example I have full code completion for values.yaml by simply having "deployment" charts which bundle the application database(s) and application itself into a single helm chart.

You can't just "jump into" kubernetes like you can with many serverless platforms, but spending a week banging your head to possibly save hundreds of thousands in a real production environment is a no-brainer to me.

Per the K3s web site and their docs, they don’t call out that it’s good for bare metal production. That tells me it’s not built for heavy workloads, and is instead for dev environments and edge compute.

I agree with all of this except for your bottom edit.

Nutanix and others are helping a lot in this area. Also really like Talos and hope they keep growing.

Exactly the same as you said. Nobody rents GPUs as cheap as I can get them for LLM work in-cluster.
