Ok let's link Germany when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing.

Thanks for cherry picking and not linking averages.

The author may not care but I doubt people care that a software has been developed by AI instead of a human. Just like nobody cares whenever a hole has been dug by hand using a shovel or by an excavator.

notTooFarGone · 18 days ago

people care if there is noone able to fix the software or adjust it.

Think of old SAP systems with a million obscure customization - any medium to large codebase that is mostly vibe coded is instantly legacy code.

In your hole analogy: People don't care if a mine is dug by a bot or planned by humans until there is structural integrity issues or tunnels that are collapsing and nobody is able to read the map properly.

> searching for the cause of a bug let you discover multiple "forgotten" servers, ETL jobs, crons all interacting together. And no one knows why they do [..]

And then comes the "beginner's" mistake. They don't seem to be doing anything. Let's remove them, what could possibly go wrong?

notTooFarGone · 21 days ago

I've fixed more than enough bugs by just removing the code and doing it the right way.

Of course you can get lost on the way but worst case is you learn the architecture.

It's honestly ridiculous that people now see that self hosting is stupidly cheaper and still 99.9% reliable.

No your service does not need the extra .099% availability for 100x the price...

Make your own VPN while you are at it, wireguard is basically the same config.

purple_turtle · 24 days ago

Existence of specific bad US regulation and overregulation caused this.

Bad EU regulations and overregulation caused other problems. For example it is illegal for me to throw old socks full of holes into trash, I am supposed to take it to recycling centre on other side of the city.

notTooFarGone · 23 days ago

Can you please link the law that states that?

I see too much bad faith shit thrown around.

Your points and examples are valid. However, when you say:

> I wouldn’t agree at all that wealthy people are inherently more resilient to stress

I beg to differ.

I think the OP is talking about growing up in poverty. Repeated stress with no relief, which is the condition of poor people in society, has been shown to affect their resilience. (Sorry, I don't have references handy, but these should be easy to find).

notTooFarGone · a month ago

I'd say they are not more resilient but just less exposed and thus less likely to spiral out of control.

The more you are exposed to stress the more you have to actively deal with it to be successful.

Dealing with it is hard thus not many people do it correctly.

OK guys, running on a single instance is REALLY a BAD IDEA for non-pet-projects. Really bad! Change it as fast as you can.

I love Hetzner for what they offer but you will run into huge outages pretty soon. At least you need two different network zones on Hetzner and three servers.

It's not hard to setup, but you need to do it.

notTooFarGone · a month ago

There are so many applications the world is running on that only have one instance that is maybe backupped. Not everything has to be solved by 3 reliability engineers.

The question is how many nines are humans.

notTooFarGone · 2 months ago

Humans adapt and become more nines the more they learn about something. Humans also are liable in a lawful sense. This is a huge factor in any AI use case.

notTooFarGone commented on The cost of turning down wind turbines in Britain wastedwind.energy/... · Posted by u/bashy

grues-dinner · 2 months ago

Something like 400,000 people are opposing the Norwich-Tilbury power lines to bring wind energy to where it's used. Including a Green Party MP: https://www.dissmercury.co.uk/news/24840985.green-mp-adrian-....

And you'd better believe wherever they buried the lines they'd have objections and expensive consultations about the disruption and the HoUsE VaLuEs caused by trenching, drilling and service structures. Like this objection from a village near (but not actually on) the underground stretch near Manningtree: https://holtonstmary-pc.gov.uk/assets/Documents-Parish-Counc...

notTooFarGone · 2 months ago

Who opposes Power lines?

Never heard that this is a thing. As a foreign influence I'd be delighted to target all infrastructure proposals and bombard it with trolls.

> But the irony is that when a non-European entity were to do something like this, e.g. nationalize their oil or mining etc. industry or a firm, the whole hell would brake loose.

Russia has nationalised a number of Western companies since 2022, even McDonalds.

Nothing happened.

notTooFarGone · 2 months ago

I have a feeling the function that tell us "if hell breaks loose" has something to do with number of nukes ready and waiting.
