There's nothing stopping humans from visiting websites. But humans don't want to do that. They want AI slop, they want Google SEO spam.

They don't want to hear from real people. They want the YouTube/Tiktok/Insta-algorithm to auto-entertain them.

And there hasn't been a real recipe published on the internet in centuries.

DynamoDB is actually an anti-product, and MySQL/PostgreSQL costs $10/month for a faster, more scalable version.

You consider PostgreSQL more scalable than dynamodb ? This is certainly a novel take. Since dynamo is hosted are you talking about a hosted pg as well or how even are we comparing this?

And even with Postgres, I doubt their definition is “multi AZ with a shared storage layer between data centers that is also fault tolerant and replicated across multiple data centers”. Meaning that if your database server goes down, your backup servers are immediately up to date because of the shared storage engine in the same region but the underlying storage was also replicated across multiple AZs.

Not if you need multiple databases for failover or read replicas. Aurora’s storage engine is head and shoulders above what you are going to get for $10

Somehow I knew what RFC2549 was without knowing what it was.

I used to be able to recite it from memory, but it’s starting to get mixed in my head with others, like 1918 which is the NAT RFC, and thus serious.

Exactly, you're selling inconvenience. Management usually has to work hard all day long to annoy the employees under them.

The goal in sales is to flatter people (with attention) whose job is to spend other people's money.

Found the Keyence sales rep!

No, I'm the lead integrator at a small-to-medium-sized company. Which means when an engineer brings me in on a project, I have a decent amount of influence on the software and controls hardware we use.

The customer may specify a PLC manufacturer or a particular SCADA system, but unless we're expanding an existing system we usually have a lot of leeway. I know this stuff better than the engineer does (that's my job, after all), so my recommendations are usually accepted.

Ah...but have you considered that there are also CEOs?

That logic probably applies to NVIDIA too.

It takes me an hour to write 100 lines of slop -- code or text. AI can do it in 1 or 2 minutes. That might have something to do power usage.

Skill issue. I can outpace your LLM if I get the same tolerances.

it helps to be able to type at 70wpm. My high school typing class in the 70s actually did wonders for my career as keyboards and screens took over. As far as processors go- that's a subject best discussed offline with a beer in hand.

CEOs don't have any data.
