How do you handle billing / payment processing?

Published 3 articles so far, but working on AI architecture and management. While most people are focused on prompt engineering and making stuff with AI; I'm more interested in how it actually works, how to size workloads, how to maximize performance, the security and safety aspects. Here is my most recent article where I played with benchmarking tools to get a baseline and understand how configurations impact token generation

Professor Madhavapeddy, am I understanding your comment correctly? "without having to seek permission slips signed in triplicate", the motivation to create Docker was because of IT bureaucracy?


I've been trying to use tools like these for data aggregation, analysis, and finding trends. One major issue I experience with almost every product is I will tell it to "sort by column x" and it either doesn't do it, or will state that it did it when in fact it did not do the sorting.

I'm surprised either of them didn't pick up that this is a meme, for what, 20 years?


How did you select the hardware? Did you do a bake off/poc with different vendors? With the intention of being in different countries, are you going to leverage the same hardware at every DC? What level of support SLA did you go with for your hardware vendors and the colo facilities? And my favorite, how are your finances changing (plus pros cons) by going capex vs opex?


Really cool, do you have pictures or a blog post about this?


Email me and I’ll send a photo.

Never been much of a blogger. This was from a bygone era, before I (or anyone I knew) had a smartphone.


Bought a Hisense tv for two reasons: status light turns OFF when the TV is on, and there is a physical disable switch for the microphone. Verified both in reviews and in person before buying.

Electrical tape for everything else.


I would rather my television not include a microphone at all. But should they want to listen, they can always just use the speakers as a mic.


Yea agree with you there. Do any new ones come without mics these days though?


Has anyone done the math for how much "coffee" EV drivers consume vs ICE drivers? Wonder what the extra costs are for EV drivers while waiting for a charge.


haha I'd be surprised if I'm drinking more coffee than usual during those drives.... but any road trip I am definitely consuming more snacks and candy due to very poor self control.


Anyone have good examples of rule 8, namespaces? Either in pg or SQL server?
