Of course you can use them for whatever you want. Its also not disputable that some people will be more careful than the other. The issue however is that the idiots who pushed for widespread usage of AIs in the companies, i.e. clueless MBAs, have also pushed them onto exactly the types you are mentioning - the ones who will screw things over because they are incompetent or don't care, or most likely - are both of those things. So it's not a criticism of people who are careful in their usage of LLMs in critical scenarios - it's a criticism of the morons who bought into the AI hype and really believe an LLM will produce equally great terraform code previously written by 10 engineers at the 1% of the cost.
People want to shift blame. The influence and money between the US and Israel is a revolving door. The US gives Israel tons of money in defense and security contracts, orgs like AIPAC redistribute some of those funds back to the US to keep the revolving door greased.
I think it's incorrect to say Israel is pulling the strings when admins of both have been colluding almost since Israel's existence.
People are saying this now because Benjamin Netanyahu has vocally and persistently been trying to get into a full scale war with Iran for 40 years. The Trump Administration is the first administration corrupt, gullible, dumb enough to agree and commit. All other U.S. Admins have primarily postured or done limited retaliation based engagements with Iran or engaged in soft power activities and got comprehensive deals.
We don't know what happened with the bulk of Epstein's private island videos. Who knows, they may well have resurfaced in Tel Aviv or Moscow. Both countries have a lot to gain from this disastrous campaign.
What I find interesting is that Trump officials says Trump was the target here, but the guy was arrested in July of 2024 - which is when Biden was still in office.
It was a convenient misunderstanding about a call to the Palm Beach Sheriff. The FBI has a recording of the call, but probably ambiently from the Sheriff’s side. It’s a small ray of innocence for a guy like Trump. And he forgot all about it until by luck it was in the Epstein files.
Although the UAE and everyone else Iran has attacked may not have directly attacked Iran, they are hosting the American infrastructure making the attacks possible.
I can understand why Iran considers most gulf states complicit.
The OCI work mentioned upthread is about interface, not implementation.
Most people who think "Docker sucks" are talking about it's somewhat questionable network layer on Linux and the poor security isolation of the daemon. Non-docker alternatives like Podman don't have that characteristic.
But no one (at least no one reasonable) thinks Dockerfile's building docker images for download from docker-compatible repositories are a bad thing. That stuff runs the world. And the FreeBSD refusal to make a real attempt at interoperability is a confusing wart on what otherwise is pretty good tech.
> Docker sucks and only exists because after all these years, Linux STILL doesn’t have a great way to handle third party applications.
That's... not at all a correct characterization of where Docker found its purchase or what it's used for. Easy containerization dead-to-rights solved the version hell problem of shipping software at scale from vendors and upstreams that can't agree on dependency management. That's not something you can fiat away with "excellent ports and package systems" unless you imagine a world where literally every tiny microservice or cloud backend gadget ends up as a port in a single tree.
Basically you're saying "Docker sucks because I don't do anything that needs containers for anything but security". Well... yeah. I guess it would seem that way.
You are fixating on security. I use jails to keep my softwares separated, for the identical reasons use docker. Except jails is both lighter and much more secure, and I believe, easier to configure.
A couple years ago I was at the Virginia DMV along with about 50 other people doing DMV things when all of a sudden someone comes out from the back and gets in front of all the service windows and announces "The DMV is now closed for the day due to a computer problem. Please leave now."
Some of the people in that crowd had driven hours to get there.
That's why the person who made the coding error should have been disciplined.
2. The original version had a toggle for this, I dropped it to simplify development. Will return the feature for sure
3. I just trying to keep a record of sorts what the fuck is going on in the world. Originally it was more of a long form blog with original content. My plan is to have a mix with short news updates and long form opinion pieces.
A lot of people herald Windows XP as the best Windows, but I question if they ever used Windows 2000.
