Having operated a large site with 1000's of services I've never had the metrics thread crash on a service. I've often seen the telemetry pipeline crash. If you've been writing the metrics to logs in a thread you at least have a chance to recover and backfill that information when you fix the pipeline.
> These crates also get "refactored" every few months, with breaking API changes, which breaks the stack for months at a time until everyone gets back in sync.
This was a problem with early versions of Scala as well, exacerbated by the language and core libs shifting all the time. It got so difficult to keep things up to date with all the cross compatibility issues that the services written in it ended up stuck on archaic versions of old libraries. It was a hard lesson in if you're doing a non-hobby project, avoid languages and communities that behave like this until they've finally stabilized.
This is one place where I hope the emerging LLM world helps protect us. If the automated filters actually use image or text models to decide whether it is frivolous or not seems like a tool we didn't previously have in our tool belt.
Has a new YC business started that is looking to handle DMCA requests or is this largely the domain of Vanta and others?
Everything is getting flagged that seems anti-currently elected's actions. I tried to raise it here, seems like HN for various reasons is over talking about this topic:

I got some useful replies there but it is still hard to conclude something pernicious isn't happening.
I wonder if an upvote / flag ratio threshold would stop some of the abusive flagging that is happening.
That’s fair—I’m closer to the east coast, so around me it is mostly white dudes, but that might not be true elsewhere. But it is mostly men, at any rate.
The question was if you believe the hiring process is excluding the other groups. Another way of asking that is, are similarly qualified people from the other groups applying in sufficient number? Would they have been hired if they had?
Earlier you stated that you don't see them represented in the workforce but that doesn't necessarily imply exclusion by the party doing the hiring. Given what the labor market for dev is like I feel that attributing observations to blatant discrimination should require extensive direct evidence.
Overclocking Celeron's those were the days. Intel binning down a bunch of processors capable of reaching higher clock rates but selling them as a lower end part was a boon for college students everywhere.
It is a somewhat though provoking question for me where you LLM's fall in automata theory? Are they non-deterministic finite automatons which would make regex's a cousin? Or does it require pushdown automata levels of capability?
I remember playing that leaked first level on the tram with roommates in college over and over again. We were so psyched by it. All salivating for the final release.
Next to playing Quake for the first time with 3d acceleration (3dfx voodoo) it was an awe inspiring flashbulb moments that changed what I thought was possible.
