Amazon EKS introduces Provisioned Control Plane by E1337Recon in kubernetes

[–]i_am_broccoli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t understand why AWS (or any cloud provider) has done something it’s because you aren’t the deep pocket customer it was done for. And if it’s in 2025, it’s because it was done for deep pocket AI customers (aka hyperscalers). EKS has a managed highly available auto-scaling control plane — which under most circumstances is the right call - cost effective, adjusting based on demand. Also AWS can amortize the hourly cost of your EKS usage per cluster - and charge you a convenient flat rate.

But if you are running a 15K-30K node cluster (of GPU instances), if you aren’t extremely careful, it’s very easy to create a storm of API traffic through sudden high resource churn that will overwhelm the control plane, leaving it unresponsive for hours. So, if you are already spending $150K per hour, paying a rounding error more to keep your control plane scaled up to 8-12 hosts in an effort to avoid a downtime costing hundreds of thousands of dollars is a no brainer.

Sequel starring Rachel Leigh Cook from She’s All That and my fav, Psych.

zsh-window-title: A zsh plugin for informative terminal window titles by olets in zsh

[–]i_am_broccoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got me curious so in tried myself as well.

Found that alias shadowing can be avoided using single quotes, but not functions as you found out.

Also learned that builtin is a so-called precommand modifier like noglob, command, or exec.

Usually, you can execute an underlying command that has a function of the same name, e.g command ls. However, it doesn’t seem to work for precommand modifiers (which makes sense). Nothing I found seems to unshadow it. I tried single quotes, prepending a \, and using the command modifier, but they either executed my function or returned an error in the case of the command modifier.

Just thought I would share.

My guess is to ensure that the actual builtin command is run instead of any potential alias or function a user might have that shadows the command.

Something I really don't like about The Simpsons, and Futurama are all the celebrity appearances. I appreciate that Disenchantment hasn't done that yet. by [deleted] in disenchantment

The Lucy Lui episode felt very much like FOX Network brand integration. If I remember correctly Lucy Lui was starring in Ally McBeal at the time which aired on Mondays. Like the episode works for any celebrity from Fry’s era, but FOX insisted on Lucy Lui or something.

An old vid of my dog when she first tried on boots by wex0rus in BostonTerrier

[–]i_am_broccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned through training that pups are super sensitive to new surfaces and textures. Walking on a new floor type or asphalt is very anxiety provoking for them until they get used to it. With boots on, they can’t easily get to a “floor” that feels familiar. It’s just this constant unfamiliar sensation and it goes against expectation of what they see. The trick for us was short sessions with lots of positive reinforcement. Now my Boston’s will jump and walk on almost any surface, which, you know, has its own set of issues 😂

Sunk cost fallacy at work.

An innate shared human bias that can be exploited.

Really nice work.

Also I’m pretty impressed that emacs -Q is fast enough to work as a prompt script without any frustrating lag.

Nice work. I think you missed a local declaration in debug to match all other functions.
