Sure thing bub.

Rivians main plant is in Illinois and it is more likely they would test the vehicles there not in California.

How many fields will be on this form?

How will they verify the accounts given are the real ones and not sock puppet accounts?

This seems ill-thought-through with zero technical advisory.

The same shitty language is used. No thanks. Spreadsheets are garbage.

Libreoffice is the same junk, different pile. It uses the same junky language.

I have no interest in learning the hack excel equation syntax.

45 year old executive with 25 year career in software development. Have never learned Excel, and never will. Give me plain old SQL any day.

Visa and MC doing business with a sanctioned Russian entity is a much bigger deal.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Visa and Mastercard are obligated to immediately stop doing business with WantToPay as soon as they are informed that they are bypassing US sanctions.. otherwise Visa and MC themselves start to become liable as well.

They can, and do do that, already.

Because your DNS failing over doesnt fail the lookups IN THE DNS over all your other services in another zone. You have to actually UPDATE THE DNS. Thats what this change does.

An LLM doesn't have a "system clock" any more than your brain does. Do you know anything at all about how LLMs work?

If an LLM made a decision to "check it's system clock" for the time, then it is no different than it calling out to a web service to do the same. It is a RAG-enabled external tool use. That is all it is.

I am saying that the question is irrelevant, just like a lot of pontificating about AGI is.

An LLM needing to use an external tool to check the time, is irrelevant as to how intelligent it is. Humans also need to use tools to check the time.

It's a stupid thing to even discuss.

The problem is that if you're running your primary DNS on Route53 in US-EAST and US-EAST goes down, you're currently fucked.

The real solution isn't this - it is decoupling DNS from AWS. You should not rely on your DNS and core infrastructure from the same vendor. Makes zero sense.

There is no reason your entire operation should be consolidated into one vendor's infrastructure in one region. It is just foolish to do this.

Use a different company like Cloudflare* for DNS. Use their native tooling to be able to automatically fail-over to another AWS region when your primary region dies.

Note that this requires cross-region replication to be set up, which is expensive so it only makes sense to do this when you are a mega enterprise.

* Yes I realize Cloudflare also went down recently. But the benefit of the DNS protocol is you can host it at multiple providers simultaneously. Nothing stops you from using Cloudflare *and* AWS both for DNS.

Humans are notoriously horrible at measuring the passage of time. Ever heard of the expression "a watched pot never boils" or "time flies when you're having fun"? Where do you think those expressions come from?

If I took away your watch/phone and all external tools and asked you to be able to tell me what time it was a few hours from now, do you think you would succeed within even a 30 minute margin of error?
