> Covering 12 hours is almost certainly overkill

"640k ought to be enough for anybody" :) I'm sure with more electricity available, prices would drop, meaning people will use more electricity and so on. Just like desktop applications and available system RAM, I guess some things just consume what becomes available.


> “‘Fix this code,’ plus several manual steps to generate test scripts,

Feels like the title isn't really giving the full context of what they ended up actually seeing, despite what the lede implies multiple times.

Still, ban seems stupid... Still no actual leak of the full "third-party research paper"?


My personal "wow" moment was less about it being able to do the same that I could do with it, just faster, but instead that together we could could build things that I wasn't able to build before (or willing to spend the time to learn maybe). So a bunch of stuff are suddenly "unlocked", as long as you know how to verify it properly.

That article claims:

> As for the underlying cells, it’s a similar story with a slight delay. By the end of 2025, 20 gigawatt-hours of dedicated storage cell lines had opened, and the industry is on pace to hit 96 gigawatt-hours by the end of this year.

Not sure where you're getting 300 GWh from?


> One reason I dislike Docker Compose and Docker is lack of isolation. Yes sure if you put your arm deep enough you can get it, but on local k8s I can spin cluster per workspace and not worry about conflicting ports between PostgreSQL instances.

Using Kubernetes because you're unable to grok docker's networking enough so you can't run multiple containers using their own ports and not conflicting with other stuff sounds like a recipe for disaster, even (especially?) if you use agents for this. Particularly if you let them manage a production environment, you're bound to lose important data eventually.

Aah, famous last words of the young :)


> I think there is a real hole in the market for a simple solution that lets you deploy some containers to some instances in a declarative fashion without all of that complexity and does decent LTS versions

Hashicorp's Nomad basically is just that, supports various way of running stuff too which is neat. Shame about the license change which basically killed all my interest in it, so seems the hole is indeed still unfilled.


For simple cases I just launch podman containers on long lived hosts with ansible.

You can still add pods if needed and the systemd integration works.

Plus you can actually improve isolation by co-hosting services under separate UIDs.

Like any container it is just co-hosting, and elasticity is a bit slower with autoscaling instances, but it removes most of the complexity of K8s which very few org benefit from or have the culture to support.


AWS ECS and GCP Cloud Run are this. Run a container on abstract compute. But they aren't "without all that complexity" because it turns out all that complexity is required for even simple use-cases. Load balancing with SSl certs, cloud API keys, deployment pipelines, sidecars, etc.

Those are hosted services? Completely different class of solution.

Yeah I’ve always meant to check out nomad and never had an opportunity.

Though as I recall, it makes heavy use of consul, which I have used in anger, and makes me a little weary (though that experience is likely very out of date).


It doesn't require Consul IIRC, but bunch of features does depend on it, like service discovery and related stuff. But Nomad is totally usable without Consul for simpler setups.

They’ve now had nomad-native services without consul for a while, including health checks!

I've been using Nomad for years without Consul. Maybe if you complex networking requirements it is worth it, else don't really need it.

Nomad has gained basic service discovery and K/V store without Consul. However, health checking is extremely limited.

As CTO of a small startup and cutting costs, setting up hashicorp nomad + bare metal is a joy to work with.

Some self-reloading HAProxy in nomad to automatically assign URLs to services when needed. Could have used Consul but meh.

Tailscale for private networking.


> the closest comparison is openziti:

Except without all the ceremony about setting up daemons, servers, controllers, "networks" and what not that openziti seems to have. Iroh is more "define protocol and hook two clients together" with everything in one binary.

Unless I understand https://github.com/openziti/sdk-golang/blob/a6e5f1697a9dc34a... wrong, it seems to require a "controller-url", is that controller embeddable as well?


yes, openziti includes a full mesh, programmable overlay. agree not all apps need that.

If it does go both ways (say "EU stops all cooperation") and the effects are the same, and no one wants the factory to actually shut down, does something start to matter more/less then?

They did, legal guardians, for all intents and purposes, "are the person", otherwise the concept in itself wouldn't really work.

Did we choose, or was that the link we were given that introduced us to it.
