When you said that number, I had a completely different reaction. 20 messages per second is absolutely nothing, $0.50 per day for that is dreadful. A $5 per month ($0.16 per day) VPS can deliver many thousands of messages per second.

$10/month difference is, to use your phrasing, absolutely nothing. It's not worth anyone's time to make that switch unless it's some toy app paid for out of pocket.

You can do much better by growing an AST with memoization and non-linear regression. So much so, the EVO folks gave a best paper to a non-EVO, deterministic algorithm at their conference

Interesting, the use of grammar production rules reminds me of Grammatical Evolution[0], which has shown some promise in constraining the search space when using EAs for e.g. symbolic regression.

Why is anyone using S3 when Cloudflare R2 is free?

zedpm · 2 years ago

Lots of reasons. My company started using AWS (and specifically S3) something like 9 years ago; R2 wasn't even on the radar back then. If I were starting from scratch today, I'd be looking seriously at Cloudflare as a platform, but it's only in the last year or two that they've offered these services that would make it possible to build substantial applications.

how about the "PUT deny" attack?

AFAIK cannot be protected against

Jeff Barr posted that AWS is actively working on a resolution for this: https://twitter.com/jeffbarr/status/1785386554372042890 . Given who he is, I take this as a strong indication that there will be a reasonable fix in the near future.

The scale on that bar chart for "Programming (Human Eval)" is wild.

Manager: "looks ok, but can you make our numbers pop? just make the LLaMa bar smaller"

How do folks use two factor auth for 1password logins? It feels wrong to me to use 1password as the second factor for 1password itself. My last remaining authy second factors are for primary email and 1password. All other second factors are in 1password.

zedpm · 2 years ago

I use Authy on my phone and watch, but not Authy on the desktop for exactly this reason; if my computer is compromised and 1password is accessible, they still don't have access to my TOTP codes. Having it on both my watch and phone means I can break a device and not lose access.

I'm glad to see they didn't forget about HTTP 418[0] in their response code docs[1].

Any favorites from Bukowski to recommend? Always been interested but not sure where to start.

zedpm · 3 years ago

Factotum and South of No North are two of my favorites.

zedpm commented on AWS to deprecate boto resource abstractions boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/do... · Posted by u/brentcetinich

zedpm · 3 years ago

This is very disappointing. I'm kind of amazed that they think this is a good business decision when there are massive numbers of paying customers with mountains of python code using boto3. I imagine much of that code uses the resource interfaces since they're easier to use.

This isn't some fringe feature they're deprecating; the official documentation uses these interfaces in its examples; they're literally telling you that's the correct way to use the library and then the next moment they're telling you it's not.

"that will not get old very soon"

No idea how you can write that with straight fingers.

I’m still using a 2015 MacBook Pro, and it doesn’t feel slow. I’ve done no repairs or maintenance on it in all that time.
