50,000 requests in the span of ... 21 days? It might be interesting if it were 50 million in those 21 days (even then, 27 RPS is ... nothing). Drop a report to AWS T&S, block, drop, reject, and move on. This is like less than background

> I don't understand why these companies automatically get a pass. Because these companies have lots of dollars and if I treat them sympathetically enough I might get some of their dollars too.

Dozens and dozens of times. And having the bigger pipe has always saved it, along with the supporting infrastructure to churn through that traffic. > But again, those sort of attacks seem to happen seldom [citation needed] and direct exp

I think he was telling something called a joke. It's funny because S3 is expensive and they just got some money.

Give me a break. Sympathy? For microsoft? That might have flown when github was like seven people, but they have nearly unlimited resources to make it better. They're just choosing not to. Let's talk contracts and money before we

So this is like the government attacking journalists for surfacing damning information, when in reality it's the government doing bad shit? Don't go after the interns doing the leaking, it's just easier to malign the messenge

Then let the Banhammer of the Sanctus Capitalista strike this parrhesiastes down! Lighten up, man. These people don't care about you, and I assure you they're not reading your comments waiting to hire you. Why should I care abou

So I'm guessing that's the same $billion passed around these companies 30,000 times, then, right? If we're just pulling numbers out of thin air, I think I want to make $6723 kajillion dollars this year, and if I don't, I

They (the ones wanting to make privacy illegal) are just the ones that want to develop the tools and consume the data for it because it'll be good for their resume or some bullshit, or they're just intrinsically broken humans.

Just make them owe $134 Trillion or whatever the evaluation was years ago suggested by the RIAA for their estimation of 'damages' for music piracy. It's about as meaningful.

This is how I view work and any relationship to corporate for a long time now, and it took lots of pain to finally recognize it. I'd go even further than that: your primary role is to be selfish and pull in as much bacon as you can as

The biggest problem of a sTaFF eNGInEeR can be solved right away: stop writing about this crap. All of these titles are so meaningless where one organization's staff is another's junior is another's CEO, it doesn't matte

Ass-covering. The same reason why most huge enterprises buy insane support contracts for every other piece of shitty software: support, and someone to blame when production goes pear-shaped. Because there’s no real management left anywhere,

I do. The faster it happens, the faster a recovery begins and we can devote resources back to doing more practical things. Get it over with as soon as possible, rip the bandaid off, insert your idiom of choice.

It's come to a point (or has it passed it) that these numbers are completely meaningless. One hundred billion here, $750B there, $1.2T over a year or so, toss in $300B for a few hyperscalers there. There's no imaginable scenario w

Like another comment has mentioned, the field doesn't really lend itself to quick iterating jobs and loops and favors the long batch processes, for several reasons. Oftentimes, a structure calculation or optimization, if run using a &q

But never underestimate the stupidity of an AI psychosis- suffering product manager to shoehorn it into the most batshit insane use cases in search of mOrE ENgagGeMeNt.

It doesn't. But as long as it's a vibe-coded slop product shat out by one of the tech glitterati using the latest marketing wanketeering and sucking up tokens to power the in-built AI nonsense, it'll be eaten up. The bubble c

Same thought I had, and that is where I stopped reading. All of these looping/enumerating techniques, including the weirdness with null-terminating strings to get around the shell's inherent treatment of spacing, are muscle memory

This is going to just run up against the insanity that is tokenmaxxing every moment of the day. When people are incentivized (upon pain of firing) to get the LLM to vomit out as much as possible, they're hardly going to stop and ponder

What is even the point of having 2FA if it can be so trivially bypassed? Isn't that the whole point that it's sort of a last line of defense? Oftentimes, you can't change simple account settings without having to re-auth and

The same predictable comment comes up whenever there is a piece that isn't sanitized, blunted technical documentation. Why write long form literary pieces that take effort to digest when you can get a cliffs note. Why write poetry when
